Ripping Garments to Pieces.

There Is general impression that 1t
Is an easy enough matter to rip up
garment. Most anybody can do it, and
1t is an undertaking that requires no
special skill OF care. Acting on this
idea, clothing is pulled, torn, cut with
knives, shipped with scissors and
finally taken to pieces after this un-
profitable fashion, and the operator
comes and declares that everything is
ready. A dyer who handles large
quantity of black goods says that he
long ago gave up expecting anybody to
rip garment up as it should be done.
II the seams are ripped, they are full
Of threads; sometimes there are but
tons on; hooks and eyes are not uncom-
mon; the fronts of them are stuck full
Of pins of various sorts, and Innings,
facings, braids and the like remain, in
whole or in pieces, just as the indt-
vidual who had charge Of the disinte-
grating process happens to leave them.
To rip up garment property there
should be no pulling, tearing or drag
ging apart. If one cannot take the end
of the thread and pull it out, the
stitches should be cut with n sharp
knife. Very few persons can rip gar
ment with scissors without doing 1t

possible to cut stitches with anything
without making holes that render the
goods absolutely worthless for the one
who originally wore 1t. When it Is
done the edges are so ragged that a
much smaller pattern must be used.
In preparing goods for the dyer, or to
be made over, every stitch should be
taken out. It seems scarcely necessary
to say that facings, braid and hooks
and eyes must be removed, but this is
imperative, in view of the condition in
which garments come to the dress
maker and the dyer. Many dresses,
capes and jackets are perfectly weara-
bic after being carefully ripped,
brushed, sponged and pressed. 1t is q
wonder that some one does not set up
an establishment for ripping clothes
and putting them in order for the dress
maker. The owner of them frequently
has not time to do them properly, or is
too careless and understands too little
the requirements of them to do it had
she ali the time in the world. Some
semi-invalid in every community might
get q tolerable living, or at least add
to q limited income, by preparing gar
ments for remodeling.-New York

Dry Cows.

II properly trained when young, well
fed and well cared for cows ought to
give milk the greater part Of the year.
But with many farmers the cows are
allowed to 60 dry late in the fall or
early winter, and give no milk until
they come fresh again In the spring.
This means feeding from three to five
months during the most expensive
time Of feeding without deriving any
income. And because there is no in
come, farmers too often winter the
cows as economically as possible, al
lowing them to steadily run down in
condition. The consequence is that
the calf lacks vigor when 1t comes.
and the mother is in such condition,
physically, that she is not able to sup
ply quantity or quality Of milk suffi-
cient to maintain good growth. 1t
requires the best part Of the spring to
get her into a proper condition for
giving a full dow of milk.
It is not essential that milk COW
be fat; in fact, IL she is good mixer
she will not get fat, no matter how
well she is fed. And it is no advant-
age when dry to have her accumulate
fat. 1t win put her in much better
condition for calving, and give d good
dow Of milk after she comes in. In a
majority Of cases good milk COW is
!, thin In flesh at the close Of the milk
ling season, and it Is poor economy to
still further reduce by stinting the ra-
tions or compelling her to live upon
them or fodder. While 1t Is always
good business policy to feed cows as
4 economically Is possible 1t Is poor
economy to stint the ration, either IL
quality or quantity, at the expense Of
thrift or condition. To make the mos
ont OF the cow keep her in q good
thrifty condition at all times, even Il
: Il b necessary to feed more grain Ii
order to maintain her; and especial,
% during the winter months. And thi,
should be done whether she is giving
milk or not.-Dairyman in Journal O

Butter Globulev.

There is a characteristic difference
In the size of butter globules in milk
Of the various breeds. in different cows
Of each breed and in the milk of the
same COW at different periods of lacta-
tion. A fresh COW gives milk contain
ing larger butter globules than she
will when she becomes stripper. AS
to breeds, the Jersey furnishes the
largest fat globules, the Guernseys
come In close second and the Hol-
stein furnishes the smallest. The value
Of large globules Is greater to the pri-
vate dairyman with limited facilities,
for they rise to the surface sooner and
more thoroughly. The difference in
buoyant force is as the cubes of the
diameters; that Is, butter globule of
. given diameter will be buoyed up
with eight times the force Of q globule
one-half that diameter.
1t was formerly supposed that but
ter globules were little balls Of fat
incased In thin envelopes, but this idea
was exploded several years ago by
Prof. BabcOck, who proved pretty con-
clusively that the butter globule is
only small drop of fat swimming in
the serum Of the milk and having no
covering whatever. In proof of this he
was able to break up these into finer
ones by agitating the milk at a GER
tain temperature, yet still they had the
same natural appearance Of butter
globules, only finer. At another tenn
perature, by agitation, he could unite
these globules, doubling. and trebling
their size. In this way he could make
Holstein-F Friesian butter globules in
Jersey milk and Jersey globules In
Holstein-F Freisian milk. 1t all depend
ed ON the temperature ut the time of
agitation. With the separator and 9TH
er good modern methods, excellent but
ter can be made from the milk of any
breed Of cows. 1t is as a family COW
that the Channel island cows have
won honors, and also in the private
dairy it is found that less skill is re.
quired to make firm butter in hot
weather than with other breeds.-E

Dairy Notes.

Good butter cannot be made unless
strict cleanliness in the cow stables is
observed.
Take good care Of the young heifers;
they are the nursery stock of the dairy
and must be developed.
The COW stables should be arranged
so that the greatest degree of comfort
and cleanliness can he observed.
Much of the butter made on the farm
loses part of its value bcfors reaching
market through improper handling.
A good variety in food is very i'm
portant in feeding for milk. and If
good, wholesome food is supplied there
is little danger of too great variety.
To considerable extent at least the
quality Of the milk is determined by
the quality OF the feed. To secure
good, rich milk feed good, rich food.
If every one would wash out the
buttermilk from their butter instead
of working it out another point in uni
formity would be reached.
In order to have the cows yield
good flow of milk it is very important
that they be kept in good thrifty
condition and at no time be allowed to
run down in flesh.
While it is not strictly necessary that
the COW be high bred in order to be q
good dairy COW, but when she is bred
for that purpose, there Is greater
likelihood of her possessing superior
merit.
A good dairy COW cannot always be
determined by the quantity of milk
she gives for some milk is twice as
rich as others, and 1t is too often the
case that the COW that gives the
largest quantity does not give the
richest.
The hest butter at the lowest cost
cannot be made on the farm without
the proper conveniences for taking
care Of the milk and cream In the
shape of suitable buildings, good
drains, butter workers and other labor

buying and Selling Cows by Test.
y plan for buying and selling cows
for dairy purposes is proposed by the
n. c. experiment station, which, IL put
to the test, would be Of great value to
every prospective dairy COW buyer or
seller. The plan is based on the yield
Of milk, together with the quality of
the same as determined by tests of the
milk. The rule is to pay for the COW
at the rate Of $12 per gallon of milk
given per day that is rich enough to
show 31s per cent Of fat. To this price
add or substract 81 for every u Of 1
per cent Of fat which is above or below
the 81 per cent. BY this rule cow
Is bought entirely ON her merits. 1t is
believed to be a conservative plan, and
one, If adopted (or one upon similar
plan) will certainly raise the standard
of cows and increase their milk and
butter production. for If they cannot
be sold easily for milk cows they will
soon be turned over to the butcher,
and better animal be kept or will
ing purchaser be found. The result
cannot fail to be beneficial to all par
ties.

doubt very good ones, and the test
methods Of feed, handling and care
were observed throughout, making the
products sell for the best prices.
These facts afford an object lesson
to all. These results could not have
been accomplished with prime good
cows alone, nor alone with good feed,
or any other single feature. 1t re-
quired the best in all these things, and
that requires intelligence Of the best
quality behind them all. And so 1t is
seen that success in this as in other
departments Of industry starts and
proceeds and triumphs in ideas with
brain work. The muscles are the ma
chtnery simply, propelled by the brain
motor. When the latter is wrong the
muscles go wrong, and the machinery
does good or bad work as the motive
power behind it Is good or bai-quali-
fled or incapable. That is the chief
lesson this test of the Ohio university
affords.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York. July 24-The volume Of
business in stocks to-day was only one
half as large as on Thursday and the
course Of prices was disappointing TO
the bulls. London selling. an increased
demand for money by out-of-tovn
banks and a sharp advance i'm mer-
camille paper rates to car per cent OFF
set temporarily the influence of the
pesoration of the Treasury gold re
serve TO the traditional mark and the
undoubtedly effective combination of
the gold shipping houses to retain the
gold in the Treasury. The most i'm
portant factor in the market was
politics and the street appean4l TO be
mixed as TO the probable effect of the
appearance a third Presidential nomi-
nee. The lower London prices excited
depressing influence at the opening
and local liquidation and bear selling
caused material concessions in num-
Der of instances.
Until just before noon the market
continued duh and without special fea-
ture. At 1875, however. an effective
bear raid was made i'm which the Gran
gers scored the most important losses.
Prices Steadied soon after midday and
a few advances occurred on covering.
The market closed steady at sharp
losses, mainly fractional. The bond
market was sympathetically affected
by the depression in the stocks and n
decided falling off in business was
noted. The losses were of most con-
sequence in the usually inactive issues.

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER.
New York, July 24.-(Special. 1.-The
crop reports from Mississippi ana
Arkansas, showing a deterioration of
prospects were the dominant factor
IN the market this morning, bringing
about sharp reaction from the open
ing prices. These advices also caused
the Liverpool market to cover the de-
cline reported this morning. 1t is
evident that the covering of yesterday
eliminated a strong factor in the mar
l<et as it has lacked the same snap
shown on yesterdays advance. What
is now needed is continuance of the
decline. the condition of the crop re-
ported from the Mississippi Valley be
low Memphis or in other sections of
the cotton belt, which will change the
current idea of a million bale crop to
one more nearly approaching consump-
tlon requirements. which are estimated
at from nine million to nine million
five hundred thousandbaleS. depending
upon trade conditions. An early move
ment is indicated in Texas during
August, but none of the cotton viii
be apt TO point towards New York.
Crop advices are becoming more mixed
in their character. and the trade looks
| for better market in Liverpool to-
| morrow.
