Dairy.

Nine times out of ten when the
milk is not good the trouble is a
local matter, traceable to the care
of the COW or the milk. Ropy, blue
or stringy milk is due to atmospheric
causes, where the air has become
infected with the invisible horde of
spores, due to unclean or untidy
stables, and can be remedied
promptly and wholly.
Care for the COW at calving time,
or she will be profitless the rest of
the season; also, put little oil meat
or oatmeal in the milk for the
calves, to keep them plump, and
see that they do not gorge them
selves; and remember that the calf
makes the cow.
No luck, no cooperative effort
can have any effect npon the milk
which the COW gives, nor upon the
cost of feeding, nor thoroughness in
the dairy, nor upon the quantity of
the product. All depends upon the
COW and the man. Even a good COW
with a thick headed owner does not
amount to much.
The advantages to be derived from
the use of separator are not con-
fined to the simple fact that the
butter maker gets all the cream or
butter fat there is in the milk, but
! he gets it at once, and has the sweet
milk left to feed the calves and pigs
while it is fresh, and the women are
saved a deal of bother, time and
drudgery.
Many diaries are kept which do
not produce 100 pounds of butter to
the cow. The farmer who keeps a
half-dozen cows which make during
the year an average of 800 pounds
has a pretty good thing, even if he
does call it a side issue. Count it uI
at 20 cents pound, and do not for.
get the skim-milk and butter-milk
as byproducts.
Nervousness and viciOusness are
engendered in the illtreated COW
and are transmitted to her offspring
The more docile the COW, the more
are her energies likely to be devoted
to the dairyman's interests. We
can not be too watchful over ire
sponsible help, who hesitates not t.
beat, hurry nor brighten COWS.
If your dairy is not of the best
buy at once a thoroughbred bull o.
the kind you esteem most, and yor
can not do better than to get a Jer
sey and your heifer calves will be {
great Improvement upon theil
mothers, and your herd will soor
grow to be as good for practical pur
poses as thoroughbreds.
Neither the grocer nor the com
mission house ever pays encourag
ing prices for butter. 1t will pay thu
dairyman of smaller degree to pu
up his products in the most attract
i've way, and sell it by making visi
tation from house to house and builC
up for himself regular class of Gus
toners.
Cows Craze but little at night, ant

them, and many a caked and in

is nothing gained by violent change
of any kind all changes of food OF

In addition to corn meal, the Gov
needs some Of the more nitrogenoG
substances in her feed. A combina
ton of corn meal, gluten and cottol
! seed meal gives much better result
than the former only. BY expert
/ ment, it will make one-thiTd NOR,

CARDINALS URGE PEACE.
Prelates OF the American. Irish and Eng
lish Churches Favor Permanent
Tribunal OF Arbitration.

Baltimore, Nd. April i2-His Eminence
Cardinal Gibbons has made public an
appeal signed by himself, Cardinal
Logue. primate OF Ireland. and Cardinal
Vaughan. archbishop OF Westminster, in
behalf OF a permanent tribunal Of arbi-
tratlon, with the view OF creating new
guarantees for peace throughout the
world as substitute for war. The ap-
peal is the result OF joint conference
in which Cardinal Gibbons and the Irish
and English candidates have been en-
gagged for some time Among other
things their eminences say;
The establishment Of a permanent tri-
bunal. composed. may be, of trusted
representatives. of each sovereign nation,
with power TO nominate Judges and UNI
pires according to the nature OF the DIFF
forences that arise. and common ac-
Ceptance Of general principles defining
and limiting the jurisdiction and subject
matter of such n tribunal would create
new guarantees OF peace that would not
fail to influence the whole OF Christen-
dom.
such an international court of arbi-
tration would form second line of de-
fense, to be called into Tequisition only
after the ordinary resources of diplomacy
had been exhausted. II wouli at least
postpone the outbreak of hostilities un-
til reason and common sense had for
mally pronounced their last word.
I'VE do not hesitate on our part to lift
up our united voice and proclaim to all
who are accustomed to hearken to our
counsels that 1t is a sign of divine in
fucuce At worl; in their midst when
Nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they be exercised
any more in war; for 1t was written of
a future time, Come ye and behold the
work OF the Lord, what wonders He
hath done upon the earth, making wars
to cease even to the end of the earth.
"Others may base their appeal upon
motives which touch your worldly inter-
ests, your prosperity, your worldwide In
fluence and authority in the affairs of
men. The Catholic church recognizes
the legitimate force of such motives in
the natural order. and blesses whatever
tends to the real progress and elevation
of the human race. But our main
ground of appeal rests upon the well
known character and will of the Prince
OF Peace, the Living Founder the Divine
Head of Chrlstendom. 1t was he who
declared that love for the brotherhood Is
a second commandment like unto the
first. 1t was He who announced to the
people the praise and reward Of those
who seek after peace and pursue 1t,
Blessed said He. are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the children of
Goa
I'VE, therefore, earnestly invite all to
unite With us in pressing their convic-
tions and desires upon their respective
governments by means of petitions and
such other measures as are constitu-
tional"

the left of the pontifical throne and is
covered with piece Of white silk
When the silk covering was raised the
artist asked the pope If he was satisfied
with his work
Yes, it is perfect. 1t is a very
fine work, II is marvellous"
Then Leo branched off into the subject
OF NJ Marquet de Vasselots first visit.
when he granted him the title of count.
He asked what he would like upon this
second occasion.

have been told the true origin OF the

uncle Of Kandakoff. the originator Of the
news.
His story Is that his nephew did moth
ing more than transmit the report II
appears that In the New Siberian Islands
there have been three parties In search
OF mammoth bones. One Of these parties
returned some time ago and aid they
had seen a ship in the neighborhood OF
the islands with Europeans on board.
They did not attempt any communication
with the ship. nor did they even watch
IL.
Kandakoff. to whom the mammoth
hunters brought the news, thought IL
might relate TO Nansen and wrote thus
to Irkutsk, whence 1t was cent all over
the world
In the Siberian islands there stlll re-
main two parties OF hunters who will
return In November and who. perhaps.

change. Men who would not speak to
