THE. DAIRY.
PROFITS OF A SEPARATOR.

With 10 good COWS, nobody who
makes milk into butter can afford to
be without q separator, for it will save
$50 pounds butter in q year, says an
expert dRiryman Of the Western States
in an exchange, The cost of the separa.
tor will be $125. The interest on that
at 6 per cent. would be 81 SO. His
machine cost So for repairs in 5 years,
making so cents a year, and 81 a yeer
for oil and an occasional rubber ring.
The machine will of course wear out IN
time. His has run 5 years; it is not
worn out or anywhere near it. But,
for the sake Of having some basis for
figures, he supposes that the machine
must now be thrown away. The &C
count with the separator for a year
would then be thus: Interest g. SO,
repairs so cents, oil and rings 81, wear
on separator $40, total $19 10. The $50
pounds butter saved would be, at 30
cents per pound $50, and there would
be a profit Of 500 80. At Is cents per
pound, the butter would bring $50. so.
So, reckoning butter at that very low
price, there would be for every dollar
expended nearly two received,
With q large number of COWS, and
with a power to run tee separator. il
will be easy to see that the relative
profit would be greater. Where tho
separator is run by hand there will be
no saving of time to amount to any
thing. The Tina taken in turning the
separator and cleaning it Just about
equals that taken In setting, caring fer
and Swimming the milk by hand and
washing the cans. There was one gain
even then-they did not have to warm
the milk for the calves over the kitchen
stove, which is not a pleasant job, as
many a boy knows, especially when he
happens to spill some milk on the hot
stove.
A farmer ought to be a business man
and figure as closely as any other man
~ufacturer, for manufacturer he surely
is, and whenever he can by the expen
diture of one one dollar get back two,
it is his duty to do il. IL has come to
that pass now that the farmer who
does not practice business principles
and figure carefully all along the line
of his operation the cost in time and
money-remember, time is honey
and make it less than what he receives
for his finished product, will have to
20 to the wall.

THE PEACE OF EUROPE

There seems to be a vague opinion
forming in the minds of many students
of European politics that the war talk
now being INDUCED in so freely by the
press and the people of Russia, Germany
and England is largely wind, and has
but very little substance. Indications
are not wanting that some amicable I'M
derstanding has been reached by England
and Russia, to which Germany is a party,
whereby many veXed questions have been
set at rest for time by the means of
mutual concessions.
1t might be imagined, for instance, that
Russia may have ceased for a time to
contemplate encroachments on the At
CHAN frontier owing to its attention be-
ing fully occupied with the occupation
and development of Northern China, and
laudable ambition of Russia in the di-
rection of Manchuria by conceding GER
tain points highly valued by Russia.
The non-interference of any of the
powers with British plans in South
Africa and the continued stability of the
only vulnerable frontier of India, at a
time when the British military force has
been greatly weakened by the necessi-
ties of the Boer war, would be valuable
considerations to Great Britain.
And, as for Germany, in addition to
receiving the blessing Of the peacemaker,
there are certain colonial development
plans upon which the emperor has set
his mind, and which there is no doubt he
would execute with very little delay but
for the inexcusable stupidity of the
reichstag in not giving him an adequate
navy.
But what about France? Oh, no one

OPTIMISM AND HERoINEs.

The dramatized version of Sir Walter
SCOTS novel, 'Kenilworth," which was
recently presented at the Metropolitan
opera house. under the title of Amy
Robsart," differs in one important par
ticular from the novel. The heroine does
not fall a victim to the plot Of the vii
lain, Varney, but gratifes the audience
by escaping the fatal trap, which is very
properly sprung on Varney himself. This
is as it should be. Why unnecessarily
sacrifice a young and beautiful female
ann wantonly lacerate the feelings of a
sympathetic audience when the demol-
ton of a graceless rascal will serve just
as well to crown the tragedy with thrill
ing climax?
The age of the lachrymcse drama is
past and the modern audience declines to
weep over the miseries of Mabel the Mil
dewed. The demand now is for a haroine
who Lives happily ever AFTER and who
is sound in wind and limb, mentally and
morally, at the fall Of the curtain. And
it is good that this is so. The world
never stood in such need of optimists as
now-bright, cheerful, clean, healthy,
happy optimists. There are enough of the
dull, sad, soiled, sickly, tear-stained pes
simists, and to spare. We want love, light
and gayety, tinged with romance, to per-
wade not only our amusements but our
lives. Sordid realism is not for the stage
or the novel, but with poverty and crime
may be relegated to outer darkness where
only it may live.
Dramatists have within the past few
years realized that their heroes and hero
ines must survive the last act. The Ca
miles and Nine. Vanes no longer draw
an audience with their hectic fushes and
sepulchral coughs. All such tuberculous
symptoms can be more effectually OBJ
served in any public hospital, and the
modern woman has not patience to sit
and witness a stimulation of misery and
disease which becomes the more aggra-
waited by the sympathy it receives.
The drama which treats in a sound,
healthy way with homelike and familiar
incidents, Astounding in laughter and
pleasant hun1or, is now the vogue, and
long may it remain so. r

THE AMERICAN YOUNG MAN.

Perhaps the most striking fact estab-
military and naval fighting race has been
the marvellous resources of latent power
shown to exist in the young manhood of
America.
beneath the national standard young men
representing every phase Of our social
life. Sons Of millionaires, professional
men. farmers, laborers. mechanics, clerks,
cowboys and young men who never had
done a stroke of work In their lives were
gathered together and fought side by side
in the ranks of our volunteer regiments.
Much has been said, especially by out
side observers on the wonderful faculty
of Initiation which showed itself among
the men of the volunteer regiments.
There can be Nd doubt that there was
marvellous exhibition given more than
once during the brief struggle Of the
readiness Of our boys to take things In
their own hands and anticipate, rather
than wait for, the orders of their COM
handing officers. Yet neither in Cuba
nor in the Philippines, or anywhere else
| in the worlds history, was the initiative
faculty shown to the same degree by the
| American soldier as it was, for instance,
in the storming of Lookout mountain.
We developed heroes without number
during The late unpleasantness with
u 4
plain that the coming generation of
Americans are surely destined to do great
| things, if only they are confronted by
the opportunities to bring out their pow
ers Yet opportunities for doing great
and glorious deeds fairly bestrew the
paths Of the American young men of to-
! day. Leaving the beaten path of indus
trial life, it is, after. all, remarkable how
! little the American young man is really
doing to distinguish himself. AS yet he
| shows no special faculty for the higher
! callings. He is not much on literature,
art or aesthetics. He lets politics liter
| ally go to the dogs His humanity rarely
| asserts itself in efforts to improve the lot
! of those around him. He sticks to his
own affairs when he has any to stick to-
and he lets the world forge ahead as it
,pieases without giving himself very much
concern as 10 the direction it happens to
take. He is q good baseball player gen
crafty, and he can kick football. He
mostly scorns to play golf He has but
little time for books, and he rarely reads
anything save his daily paper and the
cheap magazine devoted mostly to the
most perfect pictorial reproduction of
the beauty of the reigning actress.
The present governor of New York
reached much of his present popularity
i because there are so few of his kind
among the young men Of the country.
| Among a dozen average well-to-do
American young men six could be picked
out the superiors of Gov. Roosevelt, phys
ically and Intellectually. But they would
be found to have but little time for the
pursuit in which Roosevelt has won his
| distinction They wouldn't touch politics
with a forty-foot pole. They wouldn't
punch cows, and they would all drop
dead If somebody told them seriously that
they ought to turn their hands to ntera-
! lure. Yet at least so per cent of the

all other things address itself to the prob
lem of finding increased commercial out

and which will aid in the task Of max

has appeared at any time since the South
vacated the position so long held by her
as the controlling factor in the social

much better than he-if they tried, which
they probably would not do.
Occasionally young American tries
to do something worth while, like the
author of ''Tramping With Tramps," or
Mr. Wyckoff, who told his experiences as
common laborer in '"The Workers." or
the son of Rev, RI. John Hall. who be-
