Many diaries have succeeded in getting
their herds up to an average of 300
pounds of butter per COW per year. All
should strive for it.
A fair estimate of hay for COW is
from Is to 20 pounds per day. A mich
COW win eat four or five pounds more
than dry one, and a large COW will of
course eat more than a small one, under
similar conditions.
1t is said that the color on the inside
0f the ear is an infallible guide in the
selection of good butter COW. If the
skin on the inside of the ear is of rich
yellow color, the COW is sure to give a
good quantity of milk that is rich in
butter.

railroad in regard to lease in Caro-
lima held by the Southern. Mr..
Carlisle came here as special counsel
for the Southern to see Judge Simon
ton of the United States circuit
court. After hearing Mr.. Carlisle's
argument Judge Simonton granted the
necessary papers for a rule against the
directors of the North Carolina rail
road to show cause why an injunction
should not be issued against any at
tempt to break the lease made of that
roadto the Southern road. 1t is under
stood that MIR. Carlisle has accepted
the position of chief counselor for the
Southern Railroad company.

London, March 5.-The Standard,
commenting upon President McKin-
ley's inaugural address, says: 1T is a
mild and not unpleasing effusion. The
tone is a little SNUG and goody-goody,
but kindly. Beneath its smooth words,
however, a most serious purpose is OBJ
servable. The refrain of the discourse
is not peace with all men, but more
protection. Experience is of no use
yet to either Mr.. Mckinley or the
American people. They have not yet
suffered enough for their economic
heresies." The Standard foresees
blows aimed at the British iron and
wooden industries.

The Slow and Steady Revival Noted fOI
Several Weeks Continues.
New York, March 6.-Dun's weekly
review of the state of trade for the
week just closing will, to-day, say:
The slow and gradual Improvement
observed for some time has continued
during the past week and without ma
terial check. Some cloak makers here
and the ore handlers at one yard in
Cleveland have struck, but the aggre-
gate force employed in all industries
has still somewhat increased. There
is better demand for most products
on the whole, with continuance of
speculative buying in some, notably in
wool, because of expected duties.
Meanwhile the money markets con-
tinue as easy and undisturbed as if
there had never been anxiety about
the gold reserve, and fairly large sales
of stock on London account during the
week, possibly because of international
anXieties, have made no perceptible
difference in American markets. An
extended review of building in New
York for seven years discloses strong
reasons for confidence in the real estate
market. The report of failures for
February by branches of business
shows slightly larger average of liza
bilities in manufacturing branches
than in previous years, but there is
abundant evidence of the prevailing
caution in purchases in the fact that
failures of traders show decreased LA
bilities. The average for railway stocks

st. Petersburg, March 10-A firm
resolve is manifested in government
quarters to adhere fixedly to the policy

Greek policy necessitate such course.
1t is stated that the admirals command
ing the foreign fleets in Cretan waters
have decided, in addition to blockad-
ing the Piraus and the coast of Crete,
to fire upon any Greek torpedo boat
that approaches the foreign warships.

ing of the cabinet to consider the new
Cretan situation arising from Greece's

this point.

ply to the identical note of the six

Unique Works OF Art.
The fire loss at Guayaquil, the sea-
port of Ecuador, by its destruction of
the principal church, has wiped out
two of the most unique works of art in
the whole of South America, if not in
the world. There were q couple of large
frescoes fianking the altar. On one side
was shown the Return of the Prodigal
Son. The prodigal was attired in the
tattered remnants of a full-dress suit
of the days of the Regency, gilt-but-
toned dress-coat, black satin breeches,
silk stockings, frilled shirt and chareau
Bolivar. He was being welcomed by
his father in like array, and by his
mother and sisters in short-waisted,
short-skirted gowns of embroidered
muslin and sandaled slippers, to a
mansion richly furnished in empire
style. The subject on the opposite
side was the Sacrifice of Isaac, who
was CARRIED as medieval page, while
Abraham, in furred gown and pluired
hat, was preparing to take his life, not
with sacrifcial knife, but with a
gigantic blunderbuss, a genuine ira
buco. 1t is to be hoped that photog-

notwithstanding their eccentricity,
were by no means badly drawn, though
