Hints About MiIk1ng.

Always confine cows in the stable
to be MIXED. 1t is better than having
them chase one another around the
yard.
Have the stable clean and have the
COW clean or you can't get clean milk.
Lime and whitewash for walls and
posts is good thing. Land plaster is
4 good absorbent in the stable.
Before commencing to milk, brush all
loose dirt from the sides and udder of
the cow.
After a little manipulation OF the
teats and udder, the milk is ready to
come down." Then is the time to
take it and do not delay.
Milk as rapidly as possible without
irritating or worrying the cow.
No definite rule can be given as to
how the teats should be handled in
milking, as COWS differ and hands diff
fer so much; but be sure of one thing
please the COW if possible.
There should always be a friendly
feeling between the cow and the milk
er, and mixers should not be changed
If it can be avoided.
A cow will not give down" her milk
to a mixer she hates or is afraid Of,
and what she does give will be deficient
in butter fat.

New Use for Skim Milk.

A new product simple by-product
of the dairy is the manufacture OF
sizing to be used by the manufacturers
of paper, to put the glazing on paper
of fine quality. The practice hereto
fore in accomplishing this purpose has
been to use superior grade Of glue
with other compounds, but it has now
been satisfactorily ascertained that a
much better and cheaper sizing Is OBJ
tainable from skim milk. So trUstwor-
thy is the article in this application
that a five-year contract is said to have
been made by one concern to furnish
the liquid to some large paper manu-
facturers. The skim milk to be used
in this way is put in vat, treated with
chemicals, and heated until curd is
formed, the curd then being washed,
pressed and conveyed to the headquar-
tiers plant; here it is ground fine and
put in a large and improved drying
kiln, where it is dried in about twelve
hours, then bagged and is ready for
shipment.

Increase in SpOkes.

There is a tendency to increase the
number of spokes in bicycle wheels.
Two or three years ago in the race for
lightness which prevailed some of the
manufacturers resorted to every means
they could think of to cut off every
superfluous ounce Of weight. 1t was
not long before they found that they
had gone so far as to introduce ele-
ments of weakness that were harmful.
Experience showed that it was possible
to make bicycles too light, and a re-
action in favor Of a little additional
weight, giving largely increased
strength followed. Although for the
last year or two the rule has been to
put Sc spokes in the rear and 80 in
the front wheel, this has not been
done by all the makers. One company
announces in it's catalogue for 1898 that
it will hereafter use that number of
spokes. OF course, the extra weight
derived from two or three additional
spokes is a mere trifle, while it is I'M
questionable that they may add consid-
erably to the strength of the wheels.

direction.

There is some prospect OF a
Latin league. 1t need cause no ap'
prehension. The force Of the Latin
people were clearly exhibited In the
Franco Prussian war and the last
war with Spain. They are race
whose greatness is in the past.
They have been left behind In the
great onward march of civilization.
They present the life Of the 10th
century, not that of the 2oth.
Their delight lis their history; not
their destiny. They are living ex-
amples of the past, not prophetic
ones of the future. A combination
among them will not startle the
rest of the world. Let them COM
bine, and get any pleasure out OF it
they can. Under the matches
leadership of Napoleon, they
might make history again, but
such characters do not seem pres
ent just now. Left to themselves,
under such leaders as would bring
victories Ito other nations, they
could do nothing. The very in
stability of their character demon
strates the weakness of their com.
bination. Such men as Bismarck
and Gladstone would laugh at it.
Combined with another power, any
one of the allied Latin races might
be helpful; but left to themselves,
no great harm would they cause.
Their star of greatness is set, never
to rise again until their is an
amalgamation with some more pro-
gressive and stable races.

An exchange says that the COM
ing winter is going to be shorter.
It Is to start with a snow storm,
which will come in November, and
the snow will stay on the ground
for the purpose of catching and
holding other snow storms that
arise frequently and with great
vigor until about the middle of
March. Mixed in with the outfit
of snow will be hail, wind and con-
secutive periods of zero weather.
which will cause great demand
for overcoats and double mittens.
For the first time in eight years the
goose bone is white at the front
end, indicating heavy snow fall.
AS the bone of ISeS.e9 is very
wide and mostly white all over its
surface we infer there will be a
deep snow and good sleighing for
fully FIVE months. These conclu-
sions are we'll reinforced by re-
searches among corn husks. beech
nut burs and the fur of unimals, all
of which are uncommonly thick
and we'll laid on.

Dig down to the cause of your
sickness, if you want to get well
and stay we'll. Most likely its in
digestion. The irritating poisons
of formulating, putrid food left in
the stomach by indigestion causes
headache, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, stomachache, nausea, ir.
ratibiliy, and all the other we'll
symptoms of indigestion.
=. They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to
other causes and hence are not easily
cured. Bnt as soon as the poisons
are removed all these symptoms and
d sorder disappear, because there is
nothing to cause them. Nothing
succeeds in this like Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial, because it prevents the
undigested food from fermenting in
the stomach and helps the stomoch
to digest its food.

AMERICAN LANTERNS
They Are Carried Wherever Lanterns
Are Used All Over tho World.

They Are Carried Wherever Lanterns
Are Used All Over tho World.
American lanterns are exported to
all the countries Of the world where
lanterns are used. Many are sent to
South Africa and to South America,
to Australia and New Zealand. and
some are sold in Asia. Few, proper
tionately, are sent to Europe.
Kerosene oil is now commonly burn
ed in lanterns all over the world. There
are no lanterns made nowadays for
candles only, but there are exported to
South America some lanterns made so
that either candles or oil may be burn
ed in them. These are provided with
a candle socket, which may be set
down into the oil reservoir, the wick
holder having been removed. By re-
moving the candle socket and screwing
in the wick holder the lantern is made
ready to burn oil. Excepting railroad
and other lanterns for special uses,
substantially all the lanterns made
nowadays are of the kind known as
tubular, first introduced about thirty
years ago, and now made in various
notifications as to detail, the tubular
part of the lantern being designed with
a view to producing better combustion
and brighter light. The lanterns
made for ordinary uses are produced
in about forty styles.
The American lanterns are the light
est, the sightliest in appearance and the
best adapted to their use, and they
are sold cheaper than lanterns of equal
quality produced elsewhere. There are
large establishments in this country
making lanterns only. 1t is probable
that more lanterns are now exported
from this country than from either
England or Germany, and the exports
of American lanterns are increasing.

WEDNESDAY NOV. 80, 1898.

If Teddy" Roosevelt does not
make a monkey of himself, he will
be the idol of good many people
before his term of governor OF New
York is over; and even before the
time for nominating another presi-
dent. His impulsiveness and his
disposition to depend entirely upon
his own judgment may get him In
to trouble, and cause him to make
a mistake that will spoil his aspira'
tons forever. But just now he IS
pretty popular, and is making
friends every day. His letter to
the war investigation committee was
about the right thing at the right
time. He said and said it clearly
that it was the duty of the investl-
gators to fix the blame for the error
of the war. He wrote this IN reply
TO a remark by one of the commits
sion that the witnesses proved the
errors but did not lay the blame on
any one. He said that that was
exactly what the commissioners
were appointed for, and he said it
In a way that it will be awfully hard
to answer. We hope it will have
some effect upon the commission,
and that they will not quit until
the blame is properly located.

binding Corn Fodder.

Corn fodder that is cut and left
standing in the field is often greatly
damaged because of the loose way in
which the shocks are bound. A handy
and effective way to draw the shock
together for tying is to take strap
and fasten an iron ring two or three
inches in diameter to one end. By
putting the strap around the shock
near the middle and running the free
end through the ring, the shock can
be brought to its smallest compass and
held there while additional layers are
being put on. There is little difficulty
in keeping fodder which is well tied,
and this method insures tight, compact
shocks that will stand wind and storm

1t is reported that Don Carlos is
ready to invade Spain as soon as
the treaty of peace is signed. 1t is
assured on seemingly good author
ity that the army is already organ
lied and armed, and that the f.
nances, the important part, are Sc
cured. If this is true, it is no won
der that the present rulers OF the
peninsula are anxious to have the
present negotiations between the
two countries prolonged to as great
an extent as possible. A civil war
in Spain now would be awful. 1t
would devastate the country worse
than Cuba was devastated. 1t
would give the people there an ex
ample of what their own sons did to
the poor starving inhabitants OF the
Pearl of the Antilles. Let them
have an instruction. Let them
exert their full powers of cruelty
on each other. Let them maltreat
their peighbors as they have NAL
treated the uncivilized victims of
their power. And when they have
exterminated each other, perhaps
the next generation will have more
sense and more of the feelings of
common humanity.

In spite of protests, in spite of ar
guments to the contrary, in spite of
opposition, this country seems drift
ing into expansion. There seems
to be no way to avoid it; there seems
to be no other plan. Nothing was
more foreign at the commencement
of the war, nor was it contemplated
by the most ardent advocates of the
war. 1t finds its origin in the very
cause of the war. Humane motives
that precipitatedi the conflict i'm
peratively demand that the people
that were freed from Spanish reign
by the force of American arms
should not be placed back in the
same deplorable condition In which
they were before the emblems of
liberty was first unfurled to their

These same people are not capable
of self-government. Nothing re-
mains except to take them under
the care of this great liberty-loving
country. 1t is the natural sequence
and seemingly cannot be avoided.
