FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cows should be protected from the
frequent changes Of weather during
the fall. More stabling and care are
generally demanded.
There are degrees of mental devel-
opment even among cows. The
chances are that nervous COW will
give more and better milk than q dull.
stolid one.
The New Hampshire law which re-
quires all imitation dairy products to
he colored pink has stood the test of
the courts and is now being vigorously
enforced.
In Switzerland, milkmaids who can
sing get higher wages than those who
cannot. The reason Is that maid
who sings at her work can coax one
fifth moro milk from COW than q
songless milker can extract.
Milk is pasteurized whioh has been
heated at lG7 degrees Fahrenheit for
twenty minutes, then quickly cooled;
1t Is steriliZed when il has been heated
with steam or boiling water LONG

which if left to themselves would soon

There is often n great difference in
the churning qualities of the milk of
different COWS, some cream coming to
butter sooner than others. This ore
casions considerable loss in churnino
when the cream of several COWS is
churned together. 1t is better, if
possible, to churn each cows cream bv

Burrows vs.. the Constitution.

A good many of our modern states
men often betray a sad lack of famili-
arity with the Constitution of the
United States, but more striking ex-
hlbition of ignorEIce has seldom been
manifested than that displayed by
julius Caesar Burrows on Friday last.
The Michigan Senator actually intro
duced bill to restore to the dutiable
list the articles that were taxable I'M
der the Mckinley law, but were placed
on the free list by the tariff act OF
1874. This IN face of the fact that the
Constitution expressly provides that
"all bills for raising revenue shall
originate in the House of Representa-
tlves." Mr.. Sherman had to remind
Mr.. Burrows of the fact, that the body
to which he belongs has no right to
originate bill imposing duties on i'm
ported goods, and that it is contrary
TO the Constitution for the Senate to
attempt such legislation, except in
the way of an amendment to House
bill. The orator who is wont to make
the eagle scream a loud defiance of
the whole world was thus reduced to
most humiliating position. New
York Evening Post.

CARE OF YOUNG Stock

Nothing initiates so much against
the interest OF the farmer whose busis
ness Is stock raising as TO let the stock
fall off in flesh in tho fall of the year.
writes A. III. Rhodes. This is done bv
neglecting to feed or house them
through the cola storms which almost
always prevail more or less mt this time
OF the year. Young cattle that were
smooth and sleek as moles are now
commencing to look rough and soD-v.
and an experts eye can plainly see
there has been falling oil in flesh. 1t
Is very wrong to let n young creature
OF any kind commence to fall Off in
flesh, and sometimes it will cost onite
IN effort TO turn the tide the otbor
way and get them TO gaining again.
No young creature was ever put in
order for the SHAMELESS too cheaplv or
rapidly for the safety of the small
profit the grower receives, and when
the growth Is checked two or tbroe
times In the shoIt life of bullock
there certainly Is material loss which
could and should be avoided bv hons
ing and feeding early, or as soon rs
the cold storms OF fall commence. II
Is also cruel to let stock cringe up to
a hedge or storm fence and with their
believing plainly tell that thew are
very uncomfortable and want shelter
and forage until the storm is past.
stock Is about the only thing the
farmer has at present that will brine
nearly what 1t costs, and they should
be cared for kindly. New York Wit

BATTLE FOUGHT.

January lst, New Year, the Span
ish troops and Cubaus had a small
battle at Ell Estante, village not
very far from the province of Ha-
vana. The official announcement
SAYS the Spanish troops charged the
Cubans, but the loss to the Cubdns
could not be ascertaiued.
On the Spanish side, it is known
that two officers and four soldiers
were killed and nineteen wounded.
The insurgents did not accept the
guage of battle offered them, but
after the skirmish, proceeded west
ward, devastating the country by
burning crops, buildings and de-
stroyiug everything in their path.
The insurgents are moving all the
time toward Havana, which would
indicate that the Spanish are re-
treating.
Later in the day the troops came
together again and had another
small battle still closer to Havana,
and all indications point to the re-
treat of the Spanish army to that
city. The Spanish are taking all
the horses they can lay their hands
on to keep them from falling into
the hands of the insurgents.
The prospects for a termination
of the war lie in the fact as to
whether the Cubans can gather a
sufficient force to attack Havana
when they once reach it. If they
are victorious, Spain will recognize
them and treat for peace; other
wise the insurgents will retreat and
still keep up warfare, devastating
F the island.
The nations claiming to be civil
lied should go to these two belliger-
ents and tell them to stop their
foolishness, and settle the dispute
for them by arbitration.

four Chicago papers, two or three

from Memphis or New York. And
at the same time they never give a
