DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Milk of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With cows long in milk the butter
will come slowly.
The only way to keep cows is to keep
them perfectly clean.
The oleo law has been sustained in
West Virginia by the supreme court OF
that state. The law requires that oleo
be cclored pink, and for violation of il
oy selling it in the guise of butter fine
of $50 and costs was imposed. An ap-
peal affirmed the decision.
At ten cents a bushel. potatoes do not
pay the grower. but they will pay the
lairyman who purchases them at that
price to feed his milch COWS. Farmers
W no are hauling potatoes out to the field
to be used as fertilizers will find IT will
I.ay better to first put them through live
stock.
Water ccols the milk much more
rap .dly, says writer, than air will do,
and on this account the water setting
must be used in the winter as well as
the summer. 1t would be simple mat
ter to set the water to be used out oil

the present system to be wrong; other-
wise they would show their faith by
their works; they would no longer feel
justified in performing So worth OF
labor on the farm one day. and $l.5O
worth on the road the next.
We have long stood with those who
think the road tax should be collected
in money. and have paid cash for several
years, but under the present system of
road management it cannot always be
applied to the best advantage.
In some sections even where great
claims were made for the naturally
good condition of the roads. the boun-
tiful crops sometimes lie unmoved
through period of high prices. simply
because the naturally bad condition OF
the roads at certain seasons of the year,
forbids the hauling Of loads. Farmers
study and plan, and work, to increase
productions; they study the law of sup
ply and demand; they watch the mar
kets that they may be enabled to sell
their produce when prices are best;
in short. they, many of them. do their
part as well, as far as their own private
business is concerned. On the other
hand. the railroads and elevators are
ever ready to do their part, as far as
their private business of handling the
farmers produce is concerned. Under
these conditions what is to hinder the
intelligent: farmer from always pushing
his produce into market at such time as
his best judgment dictates? Simply the
weakness Of the connecting link-the
highway-the one thing over which the
people have full control. There are
times when the farm is practically
much farther from the nearest village
than the village is from the great mart
to which it is tributary, and until the
weak link is made strong. farming will
not be as generally profitable as 1t
otherwise would be.-The Epitomist.

ENGLISH DEATH DUTIES.
Families Feel the Burden -
Well ~ the Poor.

we'll M V0C tOOrs
In order to realize the terrible strain
imposed by Sir William Harcourt's So
called death duties" which excited SO
much resentment among the landown-
ing class of Great Britain last year. it
NAV be mentioned that most of the ter
ritorial magnates who through the
death of their father or other near rel
atives recently have come into possess
sion of the family property have been
compelled by the burden thus imposed
upon them to close up their country
houses and to let their shooting to the
highest bidder.
Thus, when a few months ago the
marquis of Bath succeeded to the en-
tailed estates Of his father he was forced
by the death duties which he had to
pay on his fathers estate to close up
Longlat and to lease all the sporting
privileges of the estate to a city mer-
chant, and now il is announced that
the new Lord Saville (husband Of that
pretty Mrs. Horace Helyar. who. with
her first husband. was connected with
the English embassy at Washington in
the days of Lord Sackville) will have to
close Rufford Abbey, one OF the most
beautiful country seats in the "dukies," !"
the duties in this case amounting to
nearly S1,O00,00O.
The duties are exceptionally heavy in
this instance; in the first place because
the new Lord Saville is merely the
nephew instead of the son of the tes-
tator. and secondly because of the i'm
mense and extremely valuable art col
lection gathered together by the late
lord, who was a famous connoisseur.
Each of the pictures, each Of his pieces
of bric-a-brac, has been valued by ex-
perts. and on every separate piece sue
cession duty has to be paid.
1t will readily be seen what a heavy
charge this is upon any Inheritance. and
one cannot help plying to certain ex-
tent the great landowners and county
families. They are debarred by the
laws of entail from getting rid of any Of
their treasures. in which they have only
a life interest, and yet at their death
their estate is charged with succession
duties thereon. If the property hap
pens to change hands more than once
within a year the estate is. of course,
charged with just double the amount
CT duty. and the duke of Devonshire and
| other opponents of the death duties
cannot be accused of any eNaggeration
in that they declared in parliament
and from the platform that the duties
in question, unless altered. will ulti-
mately result in the ruin Of every old
family in England.-Chicago Record.

LIQUOR IN RUSSIA.
The Manufacture and snle VIII he
Controlled hY ths. GOYeHnment.

The Manufacture and snle VIII he
Controlled by the Government.
The Russian administration has un-
dertaken the control of the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic beverages. Wine
and beer it does not touch, but all forms
of spirits must be distilled and rectiiied
under is supervision, and sold through
its established agencies.
The Russian government has set about
this business with q full appreciation
Of the magnitude OF the problem it has
attacked. II the business yields as
much as the existing excise duties. say
$50, 100000 a year, the experiment will
be deemed q success, but it is not ex-
pected that the government monopoly
will be universal throughout the empire
in less than ten or Is years. The i'm
mediate purpose is. first. to provide a
guarantee that only pure spirits are
sold, and. next, that they are sold under
conditions least calculated to promote
drunkenness. 1t is proposed to dis
courage the country drinking shop by
providing that spirits shall be sold there
only at the price Mt which they
are purchased from the government
depot, and to reduce to 4 mini
mum in the towns the places
where the sale of drink by the glass
is the chief business. Russia con-
sumes annually 3,25O,OO0 hectoliters OF
alcohol. or about s6,O00,O0O gallons.
This is rather less than the average con-
sumption of the United States. 1t is
calculated that the consumption may de-
crease 20 per cent. without affecting the
amount of revenue which the new sys.
tenn is calculated to produce.
On January l, 1895. the system was
established in four provinces of the en-
pire. having population Of 100000. OF
ten per cent. of the whole. On July
last it was extended to nine other prov
inces, with a population of 81 1,0o0, 900;
on January I. 1897, it was established in
another seven, with 10,0o0,00o in
habitants, and on July !. 1897. it will
take in Poland with another 10000. 900
by 1895, therefore, the system will bt
in operation over the most populou:
part of Russia, and will apply to $4,000,
600 persons. The price at which liquor
shall be sold is fixed by the imperial
council. with approval of the emperor
and varies somewhat for different prov
inces. At the places where lis exposed
for sale. it can be had only IN closed bot
ties and TASKS bearing the wax seal o
the state, and ticket, indicating th'
quality, the degree of strength and th'
price. The liquor cannot be consumed
at the place where it is purchased.-Bos
