Throne That Was Never Called For.
On the eve of the Franco German
war when the Emperor Louis Napoleon
entered upon the conflict which ended
so disastrously to himself and his coun-
trymen, a couple of strangers appeared
at a German town. They brought with
them a large packing case, which on
their arrival was carried to a hotel
Here the unknown visitors remained
some time and eventually disappeared
without paying their bill, which
amounted to considerable sum-

found handsomely designed and rich

adorned with the French imperial arms

and beneath it was musical box which
played when the cushion was sat upon.
It is supposed that the throne-for

BIG MILK FARMS.
How Dairying Ts Conducted on q
Large Scale.


Large Scale.
In the village Of Arden, Orange coun-
ty, n. Y, A miles from New York city,
is the Arden Farms Dairy company,
which owns $4,000 acres of land, 5000
acres Of which are tillage, says Up to
Date Farm and Garden. The central
portion of the main barn is three sto-
ries high, with two wings in which the
COWS are kept. Nothing is stored over
the animals. The floor where the ami
ma4s are kept is concrete, hot and cold
water is supplied by system of pipes,
and troughs and floors can be flushed
with water and kept scrupulously
clean. In this barn are kept at all
times upward of 100 mixers, although
375 COWS are owned by the company.
The rest Of the mixers are distributed
in the other barns. When a cow is
dry, she is sent to one of the outlying
farms. The herd is a mixed one,
Guernsey and Ayrshire blood predomi-
mating. The company sells two grades
Of milk, one of 4 per cent and one of 5
per cent. Everything is kept scrupu-
lousy clean. The cattle are curried
and brushed twice day. The mixers,
after thoroughly washing, don a milk
ing suit of white duck and wash their
hands after each COW. The milk is
strained four times before reaching the
consumer. The milking pals have
closely fitted covers, with a six inch
disk Strainer, through which the milk
enters the pail. There is a large cool
ing room and aerator, with cold stor-
age rooms of the most modern pattern.
Milk is put up in bottles. Tire lowest
price at which any milk is sold is that
which is disposed of in bulk, which is
10 cents per quart. Milk in bottles is
sold at II cents per quart.
4 his is only one of many similar en-
terprises that have sprung up near the
large cities and seems to show a tend
ency for the business to drift into the

"When you are sick, what you like best
is to be chosen for a medicine in the first
place; what experience tells ON is best,
to be chaser IN the second place; what
reason ii. g., Theory says is best to be

gether, they will give you the best advice
that can be taken"

Checking OIeOmargarine.

The Chicago papers report that the
Illinois Dairy union is considering the
plan Of having retailers put a descrip-
tive and duly copyrighted label on all
packages of genuine butter sold by
them. No particular brand or grade of
butter is to be advertised, says Hoard's
Dairyman, the only requirement being
that it shall be genuine butter. Poor
butter advertises itself, and the label
will simply guarantee purity. Of course
no dealer will dare to put such a label
on oleomargarine or any other kind of
counterfeit butter, and the absence of
the label will therefore be presumptive
evidence that the article is spurious.
1t is proposed to have wholesalers
and commission men furnish these
labels to their customers. The expense
will be trifiing, probably not more than
20 cents per thousand. 1t is also pro-
posed to have the labels and their
uses freely advertised.
Such a scheme would seem to be not
unworthy of trial, but we predict that
the OleOmargarinep promoters would very
soon put out something which would
be SO nearly like these butter labels
that only q close examination would
detect the difference. The sale of oleo-
margarine in any considerable amount is
possible only by resorting to deception
and fraud, and when any set of men
commence to cheat and lie they are
very apt to keep at it until they find
themselves face to face with prison
doors

out by everyday experience. The en-

instance, are continually receiving
shocks that would disable an ordinary

exactly the same current. One of them

who was stranger, fell over as if

half an hour before he showed the least
signs of returning consciousness. He
was laid up for several days and, oddly
enough, was much the more powerful

tically the same sort. The motormen
