Il WIN be observed nom t0eoe Nc
ures how small relatively n the cheese
branch Of the dairying in
dustry In the United States - COM
pHe3 with the butter-producing
branch and tie producing branch.
The explanation Of this will appear
further on. In Great Britain and Ire
land q very different distribution Of
the three branches Of the dairy Indus
try occurA Cheese-making occupies
much moro important position In those
countries than it does with Us. In
1894 the number Of dairy cows In
Great Britain and Ireland was esti-
mated to be $685.. 4S6. The amount OF
milk produced by these cows was -
timated to be 7ss.4SS.7o0 gallons.
About one-eighth Of this milk was
used on the farms where 1t was pro-
duced. The distribution Of the re-
mainder-that is, Of the milk sold on
the farms either a. milk or as butter
or cheeseOwas said to be as follows:
Butter sold ............ 225, 000. 900 lbs.
Cheese sold ........... .225. 000. 900 lbs.
Milk sold ............ .675. 000. 600 gals.
There Is an enormous waste in dairy
production which few people realize.
This waste Is due to the practice too
prevalent among farmers Of keeping
for dairy purposes cows that are not
good dairy animals. Mr.. Alvord esti-
mates that upon the farms Of this
country many animals are kept
probably some millions'-that dc
not produce the value Of their annual
cost, however cheap and wastefully
poor their keeping may be-" This
grave fact is generally recognized by
good dairy farmers. but unfortunately
it is not recognized by the rank and
file of farmers generally. Instead o.
$50 gallons of milk annually, as sup
posed tn the above estimates, dairy
COWS should average from SIS to 6o'
gallons of milk annually, and instead
of 1875 pounds of butter annually. a.

dairy cows should average from 20'
to 225 pounds Of butter annually. l

VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE.

Dr John ~. Upshur. Of Richmond, who
was n cadet at the virginia Military In
stltutc during the war and who was
wounded at the famous battle Of New
Market. and whose son is now virginia
Military Institute cadet, ran up to Lex
ington the other day to make an invesu-
cation for himself concerning the out
break Of typhoid fever in the institution
and it's causes. lie reports that the SAM
tary condition of the institute, so far as
he can discover. is all right ana while he
did not satisfy himself as 10 the origin
Of the fever. he Is satisfied that the fever
was not due to any negligence on the part
Of the management. The water supply OF
the institute Is the same as that of the
town of Lexington, and there has been
little or no fever in town.
DR.. Upshur does not believe that the
fever was caused by the excavations in
the grounds. or by any defect in the SAN
itary arrangements of the building. But
out Of abundance of precaution all the
sanitary arrangements will soon be mod
ernized and everything done to put the
institute in a perfectly healthful condition.
1t is too bad that the exercises of this
noble institution of learning should thus
have been interrupted, but in a little while
the boys will have returned to duty. the
exercises will go on as usual. and by the
end Of the session the fever scare will
have been forgotten.

an order directing a survey Of the Vir-
ginia-Tennessee border Governor Tyler

THEY ARE GETTING SICK OF 1T.

When the principle Of Industrial COM
bination first began to assert itself in
marked and controlling form, the quid
nuncs and sensationalists rose up and
clamored vociferously that we were all
about to be made slaves OF the money
god The Times was not frightened out
of its prophecies. however-neither by the
Vaccinations Of evil nor by the terrorising
designation OF 'trusts,' which was given
to the new phenomenon. The Times look
ed leisurely over the situation and after
1t had surveyed It from every standpoint,
It proclaimed that there was no monster
about it at all. That everything happen
ing was a mere application of old and ac-
cepted principles TO a new order of things,
and that If the nervous patriots who love
to save the people from ruin, at so much
per year. would only preserve their souls
in patience for a short while. they would
see everything settle down. while the
country logged along at fits old time pace,
with comfort and Improvement for every
man who was willing TO work for living.
II he had never heard of free silver-if
there had never been an attempt to coerce
men 10 whom a dollar is due into receiv-
ing a half dollar in payment-it is very
doubtful whether the trust movement
would ever have taken on sufficient
proportions to attract the public attention.
But the threat of a debased dollar made
capital withdraw from enterprises, that
contracted business. and the limited busi-
ness caused thereby made competition so
fierce that competitors were simply forced
to combine or TO destroy each other. That
was the beginning Of the trust in its
present widespread operation. SO that
we may fairly lay the trust at free sill
vers door.
The proof Of this. II every mans own
common sense did not teach him II is so,
can be found in the present indlsDosltion
Of manufacturing enterprises to 20 into
new trusts. The New York Journal of
Commerce has recently made a special
feature of the fact that "the present pros
perity renders manufacturers less willing
TO sell their establishments" and it notes
this fact in connection with the further
fact pointed out by it that a number Of ef-
forts to form new trusts recently have met
with signal failure.
Since we made the world understand
that we are upon the gold standard. and
upon 1t 10 remain upon it. business has
begun to rush along in a greater tide than
ever before known. Every manufactury
has all it can do. none want therefore. 10
surrender their individuality, and the for
nation OF trusts has come TO an end.
And the Memphis Scimitar takes note
that the politicians are beginning TO ind
out that "thc trust issue is in danger"
They begin TO see they will not be able 10
make the capital out Of it that they ex-
pected II to yield.
Truly the clouds seem 10 be passing
away and the heavens are beginning TO
clear up. SO mote II be.

OF Lancaster and Richmond and Bruns'
wick. and various other counties through
out the State, who have refused tamely
10 submit TO the dictum of the party ma
chine. are not TO be classed with the po-
Utical sore-heads and the party organs
will do themselves and their cause no
good by applying that offensive designa-
ton TO them. They are rather the sore
necks I'm the party They ere men wEo
have chafed under the party collar until
their necks are sore, or they are men
who have always refused to wear the
party collar At any rate they are men
of spirit and independence, they are men
who agree with the Hon. William ]. Bryan
that "a mans vote IS his own, that no
ought 10 do with It what he thinks Is
best: that he ought to make his vote rep
resent his conscience and his judgment
no matter where that vote is placed"
That is the language which Mr. Bryan
employed in one Of his Kentucky speeches
ay-before-yesterday.
1t Is these men who keep the party
from becoming autocratc. It is these
men who preserve the true spirit Of Amer
lean manhood. If it were, as has been
asserted, true Democracy TO submit al
ways 10 the party dictum, this whole
State of Virginia and these United States
would soon be boss-ridden and the office
holders would rule the people. We count
it a fortunate thing for the Democratic
party and for the Commonwealth that
there are manly independents within the
ranks. They are TO be honored, nay they
are 10 be encouraged. 1t is a public
shame to refer to them in contemptuous
terms.

emphasized the influence of the tariff
in protecting trusts, and declared for
the abolition of all duties which K
posed consumers to their exactions.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was in part an en-
deavor TO ~corEelate the trust issue with
: the currency issue. The control of the
paper money of the country by the
banks, he SAID, was merely q fagrant
manifestation of monopoly rule. The
control OF any branch of industry by
a monopoly involved, he said, the
power Of a class to tax the public, and
popular government could not permit
the power of taxation to be vested in
q class. Inasmuch as corporations are
the creation Of government, he main
tanned that the power that creates
can regulate or annihilRte." He of
