tions for this purpose would prove more
remunerative than creameries. A gallon
OF milk makes about three pounds Of
condensed milk.
1t is an invariable rule that very great
performers at the milk bucket are good
eaters; that the converse of this is not
always true, many man has found to
his sorrow. Study appetite and per-
formance both, in their relation to each
other, when buying for the milk herd.
There is vast difference in cows in
their ability to eat, digest and assimi-
late food.
No man is competent dairyman, or
at all fit to handle COWS, unless he treats
them at II times as gently as he would
any member of his family.
Fine butter has its origin further
back than the churn. The quality
which most affects the price is the
flavor. Unless this is beyond criticism
there can be no expectation of a gilt
edge price. The flavor of the butter de.
ponds on the milk, and the flavor of the
milk upon the food. the health and the
surroundings of the cows.
One ounce of salt to the pound of but
ter about fills the market demand. but
tastes differ. Try to provide what your
customers call for. This will be found
more profitable method than to try
to make them conform to your own
ideas as to what is proper: but whatever
amount is used, never guess at it; guess
ing will never build up reputation.
Butter making is really peculiar and
particular branch of farm industry at
any season of the year, and there are
many discouragements in the way of
making it either pleasurable or profit
able. One must be thoroughly interest
ed in and have love for the undertake
ing. and have great pride in the appear
ance Of the article presented to the GUS
toner or the public. else the reputation
or the profitable return will never come;
if we would gain either we must work
for them.
1t is not we'll to invest in those prep
arations which are advertised to in
crease the amount of butter to be made
from given amount Of milk. The
amount which can be made is strictly
limited by the amount of butter fat
which the milk contains.
A helper has no business about the
cows at all unless he can control his
temper, even under particularly exasper-
ating circumstances
A COW which yields product of 500
a year is pretty sure to be paying in
vestment, if bought at a reasonable
price. One which will give but half
that amount. as many Of them do, is a
poor thing to keep. even if gift to you.
Have good COWS or none. In buying do
not be guided by the eve. Value de-
ponds upon the cows yield of milk. and
not upon her beauty.
The best way to get something better
is to breed it; il you do not, some one
else will have it to do, and it is cheaper
to raise the cows you want than to buy
them, and then you are much surer of
getting what you do want.
With proper foresight dairyman can
often buy fresh cows and sell them for
more than cost at the end of two or
three years. He can we'll afford to give
for such one what he is sure will come
back to him after he has used her for
profitable mixer; but she must be a COW
which will feed well, milk we'll and sell
we'll when she is fat.

TOWARD BIMETALLIsM.

It should be encouraging to the
friends of Iaimetallism, that present in
dications point to prompt action on the
part of the Mckinley administration in
the direction of carrying out the pledge
made regarding silver by the Republi-
can party at ST. Louis.
That bimetallism by international
agreement is the ideal solution of the
silver problem few will dispute. Not
many people can be found who favor
the entire elimination of silver from
the currency or who would not welcome
it's unlimited use if it were made las
good as gold" all over the world. The
division of the people has been made
along the line of those who believe that
this can be accomplished by interna-
tional agreement and those who do not.
The Republican party has undertaken
to make one final heroic effort to bring
about such an agreement and Major
Mckinley is reported to be anxious that
the preliminary work looking to a, con-
ference of nations shall begin at once
There will be an International con-
ference of representatives of five gov
ernments in London in the interests of
bimetallism the latter part of this
month. It will be informal, notwith-
standing that the representatives are
accredited from their governments and
it is merely looking to a formal confer
ence that they are to be gathered. The
5imetallic league of Great Britain has
been moving to this end for some time
and has awakened sufficient interest in
England, France, Germany and Russia
to induce them to send agents to Lon
don to confer concerning the prelimi-

GOLD VEIN 80 FEET WIDE.
Wonderful Mining Strike at theDepth
of 2,1OO Feet in California.

San Francisco. Jan. THE Mining
world has been set by the ears by the
development in the Kennedy mine at
Grass Valley within the past few days.
At a perpendicular depth of over 200
feet, a body of rich ore. fully 80 feet in
width, has been discovered In magni-
bly, with any yet found, and the great
depth at which it lies expiodes a long
cherished and heretofore believed in
falliable tradition of the search for gold
on the Pacific coast.
1t is an old theory which age has al
most crystalized into a formula that
gold ore disappears after a certain
depth has been attained. This is a
creed of every old prOspector from the
Yul1On to the Panama isthmus.
The developments in the Kennedy not
only topple over this old time belief but
may lead to a revolution in mining in
this state, for the deeper progress is
made in the Kennedy, the wider grows
the ore body.

naries to a convention of the powers in
the interest of double standard.
The representative of the United
States will be Senator Edward o. Vol
colt of Colorado.
It is reported that he will go as a sort
of personal representative of Major Nc
Kinley and his ideas on the monetary
question.
A bill authorizing the president to
appoint delegates to a conference of
the powers concerning an agreement
on the relative coinage ratio of silver to
gold is now being prepared by a COM
n1ittee of the Republican caucus, and
Will be submitted to the caucus at an
early date. 1t will be presented in the
senate, and, it is thought, will receive
the approval of President Cleveland,
who it is said has no disposition to
throw any obstacle in the way of the
Republican administration obtaining
all the credit of success or failure which
may attend its effort to bring about in
ternational bimetallism.
This early beginning indicates an
honest endeavor on the part of the par
ty about to come into power, to carry
out its promises to the people and if
the work along this line shall be earn
estly and vigorously prosecuted it
should be fully determined before an
other presidential election whether or
not international bimetallism is posi-
BILE. If it be established the silver men
will probably be satisfied and the ques-
ton will disappear from politics. If it
fail, there will doubtless be a strong
movement toward trying some other
method.
1t can hardly be doubted that Sena-
tor Wolcott is greatly interested in the
success of his mission for both business
and political reasons.

PAYS GOLD, TAKES SILVER.
This is the Situation the Government
is in at Present.

New York. Jan THE Post says the
disbursements of the treasury this
month have made such inroads on the
supply of greenbacks, u 5 legal
tender notes, on hand, that the govern
ment has been compelled to resume
paving out treasury notes at all the
sl1b-treasuries, and it is likely its sup
ply of that form of money Will still
further decrease
An interesting feature in the situa-
ton is that while the treasury is pay
ing out millions of dollars of notes that
are redeemable again by the govern
nent in gold. the treasury is receiving
only silver (certificates) in payment of
customs duties
In other words, While discharging its
own obligations in gold, the govern
ment is compelled to receive. and is re-
ceiving only silver for customs duties,
taxes, etc.

When the legislature meets it is not
improbable that the old fight of the
regular physicians against 'quacks'
and ''healers' will again come up in the
form of a bill for the suppression of the
latter classes. There are those who be-
heve that they who can heal tie sick
should be permitted to do so by any
method they choose. The ST. Louis
Dispatch seems, however, to
have hit the bulls eye in the follow
ing: Public interest demands that
men or women who desire to become
physicians should prepare themselves
by learning the Orthodox methods
and passing the prescribed tests. If
they have any unusual orfurther knowl-
that will enable them to heal in ways
not generally followed, SO much the

THE LOUD BILL PASSED.
It Prevents Mailing of Books and
Sample Copies as Second Glass
Matter

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Loud bill
to amend the law relating to second
elias mail mater was passed by the
house yesterday after two days OF de-
bate. by vote of IA to los. The op-
position to the bill made a strong fight
against it.
as to its effect on certain particulars
We're very conflicting. The most inn
portant provision of the bill denies the
serial publications admission to the
mails at L cent per pound rates 1t is
as follows:
THAT nothing herein contained shall
be so constructed as to admit to the
second class rate publications purpOrt-
ing to be issued periodically and to sub
scribers, but which are merely books
or reprints of books, whether they be
issued complete or in parts, whether
they be bound or unbound whether
they be sold by subscription or other
wise, or whether they purport to be
premiums or supplements. parts of
regular newspapers or periodicals.
The bill also denies to newspapers
the sample copy" privilege and the
privilege enjoyed by news dealers of
returning unsold papers at the second
class rate.
The other important change in the
present law provides that publishers
whose publications are admitted as sec
ond class matter shall be required be-
fore depositing such mail matter in the
pOstOfffce to separate the same into
United States mail sacks or bundles by
states, cities, towns and counties as
the postmaster general shall direct.
AIR. Grosvenor created a slight furry
at the opening session of the house
by securing the adoption a
question of privilege, of a resolution
calling on the departments for state
ments as to why they had failed to
comply with a former resolution the
house had passed at his instance on
June 5, requesting information relative
to the civil service law.
Mr. Terry (Dem. Ark.) showed a dis
position to contest the point as to
whether the resolution involved a ques-
ton of privilege, but when he ascer-
tanned that it related to the civil service
he acquiesced with seeming alacrity
If there is anything you can find
out about the civil SERVICE" said he,
I shall be very glad to have you dis
cover it,
The resolution calls for information
as to the number of employees in each
department who have died. resigned or
been removed since March 4. 1898, the
number appointed under the civil serv-
ice rules and the number not appointed
under such rules who are now covered
by the extension of the civil service
rules.
