one season, and cows did not have

Not More Creameries but Better Cows.
G. L. Hubbell: What We want is less
creameries and more and better cows.
II half the creameries in Iowa were
to be permanently closed to-day there
would still be enough to do all the bus
mess, and in expenses alone there
would be saved at least 5000 per day,
or 100000 annually. This amount
would be added to the profits Of the
producer, besides the gain through i'm
proved quality. No. We as a state can
not afford to spend any more money
in creamery buildings and machinery,
but IL the business is to grow in Iowa
let our surplus be spent in increasing
our herds and improving our methods
to the end that the cost Of production
may be made less and not more. A
creamery which makes 300, 900 pounds
of butter per annum will make the
dairy business much more profitable to
the producers than could three cream
cries on the same territory. Concen-
tration, Capitalization and true co-ope-
ration are the conditions that must
hereafter be observed to show any
profit in the cow.

Ice Water In Winter.

There is no more reason why ice
water should be given to fowls in win
ter than to other stock. Too often We
know all kinds of stock on a farm re-
ceive only ice water, but this should
never be so. 1t is always easy to give
the fowls warm or tepid water, at least
in the morning. It will not only help
the egg supply, but it will tend to pre-
vent Indigestion. Who knows what eff
fects may result from carelessness in
this matter? Then, too, il the water
be warmed it will not freeze so soon
on cold days and can thus be left till
the hens have all taken what they want
and even till it is more convenient to
remove it. Water is necessary for the
digestion of food and acts as gen.
sral carrier. It is therefore necessary
to supply it in considerable quantities.
When it is tepid or warm the fowls
will drink far more than when it is
icy cold.

Roquefort Cheese Decentralization
many years epicures have delighted in
the flavor of ROquefort cheese, which
was made from the milk of ewes, fed
in pastures containing an abundance OF
wild thyme. AS the trade increased,
the thyme-clad banks of the Larnac
and Aveyron failed to yield sufficient
pasturage, so the flocks were fed in
grassy meadows, where they produced
more milk, but of inferior quality. The
cheesemakers, spoiled by prosperity,
took to the practice Of mixing cows
milk with that of the ewes, and then
deteriorated their product still further
py artiicially ripening the cheese. The
result is that buyers now look askance
at so-called Roquefort cheese. and a
business which formerly provided en-
ployment for over 1OO, 900 people is at
standstill, with little hope of revival.
The Roquefort cheese makers, like the
misguided manufacturers of filled
cheese in this country, will realize that
it is necessary to maintain a standard,
as we'll as to attain it.-Rural New
Yorker.

Color of Butter-A New York but
ter man says: The color of the butter
is Of great importance. For years there
was a prevailing opinion that consum-
ers wanted a deep yellow, almost red
dish color to their butter, and butter
makers tried to give them just what
they wanted. But this requirement, il
it ever existed, has changed very much.
and there is now a growing demand for
pale color. High colored butter does
not look well at best, and the addition
of so much colOring matter imparts a
foreign favor. Our home jobbers sell
dom complain Of too light color, and
the constant call from the export trade
is for pale butter. Il can't under
stand" said a well known shipper re-
Gently, why the Americans persist in
painting their butter red" This is a
defect too easily remedied to exist any
longer. and it should claim the atten-
ton of our buttermakers at once.

Sailing Cows.-Salting the cows Is
one of the little things that is some
times lost sight Of under the pressure
of other, and what is regarded as more
important work. but a trial recently
made at the Mississippi experiment sta
ton. indicates that inattention to this
point may be q rather expensive over
sight. Three cows were kept without
salt for four weeks. and their milk rec
ord kept during the last two weeks Ct
this period; then they were given the
usual allowance Of salt for two weeks,
and on comparing the milk records 1t
was found that the cows gave 454
hounds of milk during the first period
when salt was withheld and 564
pounds during the second. when salt
was furnished. difference Of ITO

THE ANIMUs OF THE TELLER REso-
LUTON

II is the contention Of senators VINO
advocate the Teller resolution that TO
pay principal and interest of government
bonds in silver dollars would work no
hardship to the holders. because silver
dollar is now as good as a gold dollar.
So far so good. Under the present sys-
tenn every silver dollar in this country IS
as good as a gold dollar, because with
limited number OF silver dollars the Gov
eminent is Gbundantly able to maintain
them at par. If the world could be as
sured that this condition would continue
there would be no objection to the pro-
visions of the Teller resolution, for the
bondholder who received his principal or
interest in silver dollars could easily
convert those dollars into gold. But
everybody knows that the advocates OF
the Teller resolution do not desire OF
contemplate the duration of existing con-
ditions. and the resolution is designed as
a step in the direction of the free coinage
of silver. 1t is that threat which would
alarm the DOHunOluciS anu Si"hS NV
credit of this country. if there was any
danger that the Teller resolution would
pass both branches of Congress.
II the minis of the country should be
opened TO the free and unlimited coinage
of silver silver money would of necessity
depreciate in value and we think that
Senator Daniel innocently confessed as
much i'm his recent speech.
The policy of paying in gold or silver
at the convenience Of the Government IS
pursued by France, and without detri-
ment 10 anybody. because there Is in
France no threat of opening the mints TO
the free coinage Of silver
But that would never satisfy Mr.. Teller
and Mr.. Daniel and others who are sup
porting the Teller resolution. What they
want and what they demand and what
they are trying to secure, is the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and the pay
ment of bonds principal and interest, in
such silver. whether it be deprecated in
value or not. The adoption of such a
policy would be absolutely destructive of
the credit OF this Government, and would
be more disastrous 10 the interests of
the people of this country than was the
great earthquake to the city of Lisbon.

uoNopoLy AND INJUNCTION.

A hotel proprietor in Washington city

company for an injunction to restrain the
defendant company from removing tele-
phone from the hotel and from discon-
tinuing the service. The hotel man also
protested against the practice of the COM

The facts in the case are stated as fol-
lows: The proprietor says that about
eight years ago the company put in

rights of the hotel business and consid-
cred the telephone privileges valuable
part of the business. The company then
required him to enter into a contract
with IL at the rate of $40 per annum for
one year. On November /, 1871, the COM
pany set up a claim that the telephone
was for the hotel only and that the
guests could not use it. lie says he has
