New York June 10.-Yesterday's notable
rise in prices of stecks brought the ex-
pected result in large orders to commits
sion houses to buy stocks today. These
were put in at the opening and executed

marked. The professional operators who
have been buying stocks in the last few
days met this demand with sales TO real

The Times-Herald believes that a
newspaper, to be true to its highest
mission. should take active part in the
educational advancement within the
influence of its circulation. Books are,
and always will be, great civilizers.
In speaking of THE Century Die

practical value are not limited to any
special few, but. on account of its ex-
tenSive range of subjects, touching
every branch of human endeavor, it is
the only universal reference library eX-
tant 1t is the key that unlocks the

difference between THE Century and
other cyclopediaS and dictionaries and
its surprising value over all, is read
lily apparent, upon the slightest inves-
tigation. 1t is a work that admits OF
superlatives.
The Times Herald offers no apology
for undertaking this important enter
prise, but, on the contrary, claims to

Is the only Work of Reference planned
and carried to completion in the clos
ing years of the Nineteenth Century. 1t
is the response of scholarship to the
demands of the age, which requires
full. complete and instant information
on every subject. Hence the work is at
once universal in its scope and concise
in it's treatment. The age demands,
and the work supplies, knowledge of
the most exact and comprehensive
kind, but so arranged that the inquirer
can find the information he seeks with
out loss of time. Fifteen years ago
work was first begun upon what is now
the Century Dictionary and Cyclic
pedia." Between 1888 and 1891 a por-
ton was published in six volumes. AL
though a large part of the matter in
these volumes was encyclopedia in its
nature, they were published under the
simple title of 1.-The Century Diction-
ary," the full title being reserved for
the completed work. In 1894 an addi-
tional portion appeared under the title
of THE Century Cyclopedia of Names
The matter in this was entirely ency-
clopedic. This portion alone contained
in the neighborhood of $4,000 titles, as
large number as is to be found in any

a seemingly unnatural uso for skim
milk, but one which has been reported
as satisfactorily practiced in a number
of places, is as food for milk COWS.
Some German accounts are given OF
mixing skimmilk with water, very
little at first and gradually increased
until the cows are taught to drink the
milk alone. Others describe using milk
and meal or bran of some kind to make
paste, and claims are made that in
this form ten pounds of skimmilk re-
place one pound of wheat or rye bran,
having the same food value with cows.
The method of feeding the skimmilk
back to the cows producing it, which
has been most practiced and advocated
in Europe, originated in Sweden. The
milk is heated 10 100 degrees or 100 de
grees r. for half an hour, then cooled
TO 100 degrees f., and renDet is added.
While the milk Is thicbening an equal
weight Of chatf or finely cut straw is
mixed in, and after being well stirred it
is allowed TO stand two or three hours
in large tub or tank. The separated
whey is then drawn off and poured over
the mixture that as much as possible
may be absorbed. The whole mass is
then left to ferment from 40 TO IS hours,
according to the weather, when it is re-
garded as prepared for feeding. Cows
are given as much Of this 'skimmilk
feed" as will equal gallon of milk per
day. 1t is claimed that as thus prepared
a gallon of skimmilk amply replaces
four pounds of concentrated grain food
Reports from Sweden, Norway and Den
mark are favorable $to this method of
utilizing creamery skimnilk, and some
who have tried it in this country make
like reports, while others give con
trary opinion. Western Ploughman

Milking a Dictionary.

Nearly every one has had the bright
Idea that it must be a tremendous
amount of work to get up a dictionary,
but few have any notion Of the real
size Of the task. When johnson got his
famous dictionary started, he calculated
chat, with six assistants, he could COM
plete the task in three years. 1t took
MIN nine years instead He received the
small recompense Of 81, 500, and had to
pay his assistants out of that
Webster worked "a years before his
dictionary made its bow TO the world
Webster was very punctilious in his
definitions, and so painstaking that it
was a wonder he completed the work
when be did
The words which give the compiler
of dictionary the most trouble are the
little one syllable Saxon words. Their
history extends back into the Saxon
period, and their meaning has become
twisted in many directions Words with
pedigrees are the hardest to trace.
When a new dictionary is projected,
one man is selected as editor in chief,
and he appoints his subeditors Then
appeals are sent ont to literary people
in general for voluntary contributions
in the nature of rare and curious words
There are over 1000 people who have
offered their services in the case Of a
dictionary now making. They are to
read standard works, anc. ant and mod
ern, in the search for curious words,
their origin and meaning. These words,
written ON slips of paper, are filed in
thousands OF pigeenholes Over six tons
of clips have been put away. This
means 6.000.0 900 words. but only
1900, 900 viii be printed. The amount
of work necessary to properly sort these
is evident.

Protein In Milk.

In the agricultural states of the corn
belt protein is altogether the most ex-
pensive and most deficient nutrient in
farm feeding stuffs For want of protein
many rations are unbalanced and fail
to give economical results. SKimmilk
at 30 cents per hundred furnishes pro-
tein more economically than oats at 20
cents per bushel, and besides the feature
of economy no feed furnishes nutrients
in more available, palatable and di-
gestible form than skimmilk when prop.
erly handled. Modern agricultural con.
ditions will not long permit the extrav
agant waste of product worth $l00,
600. 900 a year.
