Mhrt a Cow ShouId Yield.

1t takes $50 pounds of butter at q
good market price to pay for the keep
ing of a COW n year. At the stand
ard of four per cent. of butter fat, that
amount of butter will require about
$500 pounds of milk. Therefore a cow
must yield $500 pounds of milk. or say
LOO quarts to just stand ever with
her owner, if butter is made. In order
10 give a fair profit on the investment
4 cow should yield at least 5000 pounds

REMEDY FOR ROUP.
How to Fight This, the Worst Enemy OF
the Poultryman.

hhC oolLE q
Just now, when the chilly winds of
winter howl about the crack-bedecked
henhouse and surge through the
broken glass, or with a doleful moan
find the k~notholes, is a harvest time for
the deadly roup. Speaking of this worst
enemy of the ~poultryman, P. H. Jacobs
says:
For the roup give a teaspoonful of
raw egg (white and yolk slightly beat
en- together), three times a day. For
sweiled eyes, anoint one a day with
raseline and sprinkle a pinch of chlora;e
Of potash down the throat Add a tea
spoonful of chlorate of potash to every
pint of drinking water. Keep the birds
warm and feed meat, raw or cooked, as
4 part of the ration. Mix a pint of spir-
its of turpentine with a bushel of lime
that has air-slacked. Mix it intimately
and you may use turpentine if you
prefer. Scatter iteverywhere, OF floors,
yards, roosts, in nests. and do not miss
q square inch of space. Clean out the
house and scatter lime daily. Do not
waste time and labor after you find you
can do nothing, but destroy the birds.
We never saw a tow! cured of roup that
was everworth keeping. Disinfectevery-
thing and get new stock from healthy
birds, and always use the lime every
week. Saturate everything, yards es-
pecially, with the disinfectant. Here
is a good disinfectant: One pound OF
copperas, one pound of blue stone (sul-
phate of copper. and six gallons of
hot water. Dissolve the minerals in the
water and add n pint of sulphuric acid.
With a watering pot you can apply it
everywhere. Do this three times a week
before you get other fowls. Burn or
bury the bodies of all roupy birds.
Scald the troughs. roosts. floors. etc,
with the disinfecting liquid by heating
IT. Burn up all the old nests. In fact,
clean out all the germs or roup will
come back again"

JAPAN Is LEARNING.

The evolution of Japan Is the
romance of the last days of the
century. But she has already
"evoluted" herself into the bram-
bic bushes.
Marquis Ito, in recent inter
view In London said: ''This (the
Chinese indemnity has not IN
creased our national wealth, for
war always costs more than 1t
brings in, the latter being only mo-
mentary, whereas the cost is per
mament." EIn the exuberance of
victory every one thought himself
rich. Factories were built, mines
were opened up, companies and
enterprises of all sorts were
brought out or undertaken, and
not all of them, as you can readily
imagine, have succeeded" "The
cost of living has doubled since the
war"
So Japan, in entering and NOV
ing along the old highways, which
the civilized nations have travelled
for centuries, fails to see, just as
they failed to see, the sign posts
of warning, the weak bridges and
the many pitfalls.
Letter for letter, word for word,
chapter for chapter, Japan, after
the Chinese war, repeats the tinan-
cial history of the United States
after the great civil war; and the
same history of Germany after the
Franco-Prussian war. Specula-
tions and unwholesome booms are
the miserable progeny of wars.

Err OUTLOOK IN
STATES.
THE
BETTER

The great rise in wheat and the
signing of the tariff bill, make a
better Feeling in the States. The
rise in wheat, is of course, the main
cause of the improvement, be
cause it brings money into the
country, and is something better
than swapping conditions among
farmers and merchants. The
worlds misery, is Americas oppor-
tunity. The short crops in the
great wheat producing countries
make Americas profit. The Rus
sian peasant goes hungry, and
the Italians on the steppes Of Ar
gentina are driven to the wall.
But it is the turn of the American
farmer Next year, probably, as
the seasons go on, and the rains
fall, the conditions will again
change, and the American farmer
will cry out against the pauper
labor of the world. When the Crea-
tor permits a drouth, and the
"pauper' has to starve, then the
good famer is thankful that he can
compete with the pauper.
For the time being, the lessons
taught bv the agriculturist writers
will be forgotten, and the diversi-
flying of crops be abandoned.
The rise in the price in wheat
will stimulate railway traffic, and
the roads will earn some dividends.
This will stimulate speculation,
and the stock markets will be busy
again.
But the free silver cloud hangs
low, and the money of the world
will not eagerly seek for Ameri-
can investments, until it passes
away. 1t may hang for several
years to come. Prosperity lifts 1T,
adversity lowers it.
