HE sat down on bench at the cabin

THE AMERICAN DAIRY.
Destined to Become More Prominent from
Year to Year.

Destined to Become More Prominent from
Year to Year.
The dairy promises about as we'll
if not better than any other branch
OF farm industry. The well defined
disposition of legislators is to put
II stop to the competition of imitation
butter, the chief complaint against
which has been that it is sold as genu-
Inc butter. There is not much to fear
on the part of dairymen with respect
to oleomargarine competition if every
pound of the stuff is sold for just what
it is. No person who has studied its
character will care to eat it; and the
average consumer, even if he is ignor-
ant of the character of oleomargarine,
wants no imitation butter on his bread.
But Notwithstanding the laws that
have been enacted providing for the
plain marking of imitation butter,
thousands of pounds are consumed on
boarding-house, hotel and restaurant
tables by those who suppose that they
are eating butter, and every pound of
it takes the place of the honest prod
uct. The disposition, we repeat, is to
put stop to this fraud, and probably
within year there will be universal
legislation to accomplish this, and it
will be greatly to the interests of the
dairy. The fact, too, is becoming more
generally recognized that the dairy is
less drain upon the soil than almost
any other branch of farming, and this
is leading to the adoption of dairying.
Then there is the old fact being more
deeply impressed all the time that
dairy products are of comparatively
small bulk and can be more easily and
more cheaply shipped than other prod
ucts of the farm. To all this may be
added that winter dairying is being
more and more generally followed, and
as it is adopted, the profits of the bust
ness are greatly increased; and while
there is Frightening future for beef
production, it may be clearly seen that
the American dairy will become more
and more rominent.-Farner's Voice.

breed, actually "does sums" one sus-
poets some hidden trick by which the
trainer causes his horse to make certain
signs that look like the result of
thought. But whether or not his train
er employs these artistic" means, the
result is certainly most striking, and il
trick there be, it is concealed in most
marvellous manner.
Alpha also plays the harmonium, and
his rendering of God Save the Queen"
on an enormous keyboard is start
ling performance, and a more correct
one than in many other cases. The
clever creature also selects letters from
the alphabet, tells the time, plays a
game of nap, and fires gun, for which
latter feat, strange to say, he shows
{. decided prediction. The perform
ance ends with grotesque transforma-
ton of the beautiful horse into a nurse
in skirts, white apron, tartan shawl and
gorgeous poke bonnet. Little Beta, a
fat two-year-old pony, which is only
just being trained for an artistic career,
is caused to sit on its launches in a
perambulator, and the nurse Alpha
wheels him across the stage.-N. Y.

geese and edible birds in a few hours.
Game of all kinds is abundant, and fur
ther up the country pheasants of the
most delicious flavor are plentiful. The
Yorktown, despite her steady years of
service, is in excellent trim, and otfic-
ers and crew are proud of her.
While on board the Yorktown | was
presented to the feline mascot, Char
ley" the most famous of cats. "Char-
ley" joined the Yorktown in 1889. He
has travelled something like 100000
miles in her, and is the oldest member
of the crew, with the exception of one
seaman, Martin Foley. Officers and
sailors come and go, court-martials are
held, assertions take place and penal
ties are inflicted, but Charley" re-
mains the pet of the ship and the most
exalted cat, marine or otherwise, on the
globe. The hundreds of scattered peo-
ule who have served on the Yorktown
will be delighted to learn that "Char-
ley" is still ION deck" so to speak. He
has lost his hearing on account of the
heavy firing in target practice, but he
is still amiable and lovable.
They tell a funny story aboHt this
famous cat. When the Yorktown was
on Behring sea duty she moored one
day at a dock on the opposite side of
which an English gunboat lay. AS
was his wont Charley" walked out
on the dock to take a view of things.
Some English sailors, observing his
swagger, remarked that Cling ger"
should be brought out and introduced.
One of them went on board the Eng
fish gunboat and brought out Gin
GER" a lusty cat of lofty British preten-
lions and aristocratic mien. The two
cats met on the dock and touched noses
In a disdainful way, when, all of a sud-
den, Charley" let fly his right paw,
striking the Briton on the jaw and
knocking him overheard. This act
performed he strutted back to his ship
ms if to say: did you see me do i'm ?''
His performance was cheered by the
Yorktown jacllies and that cats stock
rose SO per cent. then and there. The
picture of the Yorktown's pet which ac-
companies this is in the possession of
nearly every officer and sailor on the
ship. Scores of them have been sent
home and thousands of people in the
United States know about the York
towns feline mascot. All such will be
pleased to know that Charley" is fat
and hearty, despite his weight of years,
and the most beloved cat afoat.

Some passengers over one of the Ber-
lin canal bridges the other day noticed
the sudden appearance of two black
points in the sky at a considerable dis
lance away, which developed into two
ducks. Behind them, at lower level,
flew another bird, which suddenly rose
into the air above the ducks and then
shot Gown upon them like an arrow.
One of the ducks flew sideways toward
the Thiergarten; the other, closely
pursued by its enemy, flew slanting
into the canal. and, reaching the W alter
exactly behind the bridge, dived, while
the hawk, in his blind haste, struck
against the head of statue of Hercules
and fell, once more Tapping it's great
wings, dead on the pavement of the
bridge. The bird was a splendid speci-
men, the wings having an expansion Of
more than three feet.
