The occasional dairyman is usually
the unsuccessful dairyman. He
changes with the times aud goes into
dairying iust when things in the dairy
world have strong upward tendency
and when prices of good dairy cows
arc rising. He has to meet numerous
obstacles that the man that is per-
ennial dairym never has to consider.
For instance, when COWS are in de.
mand he finds it hard to get good
ones at any price and the best ones
cannot be bought. He must sustain
two losses at the outstart. First, he
has to pay more than the animals are
really worth, as is always the case in
boom times with any kind of animals,
and second, he has to be satisfied with
very ordinary stock, the profits with
which are doubtful.
His first impulse is to grade up, be-
cause he finds it so difficult to buy the
kind of cows he wants, and he there
fore enters on course that will re-
quire years for results. BY the time
he has developed some really good
cows the market begins to fall. He
begins to put out large quantity of
dairy products just at the time that
the market is beginning to feel the re-
suit of the stimulation of high prices
ON production, and he helps to in
crease the supplies on weak market.
He is generally in debt, as he has been
building for ears on the future out
look and H. linds the returns too
meagre to equal his present needs and
obligations. He continues for few
years, and is then compelled either by
the sheriff or circumstances to put up
his stock at public sale.
By this time prices OF cows have
followed the prices of COW products
and have sharply declined. He sells
out, therefore, on weak market, and
COWS, wagons, cans and everything
else go at small percentage OF their
cost or real value. As he bought his
first cows at more than their real
value, he now sells out his stock at
less than their real value. Heis thus
a loser at both ends of the game. The
occasional dairymen cannot be u sue
cess as long as conditions on the
market remain as at present-subiect
to wide degrees of expansion and con-
traction. II prices and demand ever
reach the point where they remain
stable indefinitely, the occasional
dairyman may win, once in awhile.
But for the present it is the man that
carries ON his business year after year,
through prosperity and adversely, that
really reaps the fruits of dairy effort.

How TO Serve Tea.

How shall the tea he made and
served when all is ready? The making
is q simple business, and, like most
simple things, is not always well
done. The old rule Of teaspoonful
for each person and one for the pot
has never been improved upon, but If
the tea is one of the choice Ceylon
varieties the spoonful must be small.
When the pot has been scalded with
the contents of tho kettle, the tea
measured into the pot, and about a
cupful of boiling water turned upon
it, cozy should be drawn over tho
pot during the five minutes that the
herb must steep. Upon the cczy Gny
amount of dainty aud elaborate nee
dlework may be expended. Tho
prime requisite is that it should be
we'll wadded. When brew has stood
the required time, tho teapot may DO
filled from the boiling kettle, and tho
cups that cheer poured at once. Tho
hostess may either inquire as to her
guests preferences in the matter of
cream aud sugar and add these to their
cups, or allow them to qualify their
tea for themselves. Tho services of q
waitress are not necessary at afternoon
tea after all that has been needed for
il has been brought in. -Harper's Ba-

Only few years ago Alabama was
not heard of as an iron-producing
state. 1t was not even known that
Alabama was especially rich in iron
deposits. Last year Alabama was the
fourth state in iron production, being
surpassed only by Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Illinois. The latter state pro-
duced 1,542,012 tons to Alabama .
1,0S3, 905, and it is almost certain that
Alabama will pass Illinois and come
very close to Ohio in iron production
this year. 1t is now conceded by al
most everybody that Alabama is the
richest OF all the states in iron ore, in
coal and limestone. the essential ma
terials for iron manufacture. 1t is
conceded by everybody that iron can
be made at less cost in Alabama than
anywhere else. These facts assure to
Alabama the future lead of all the
states in iron production and the posi-
tion OF the iron capital of the world,
states the Atlanta journal.

The prison-reform system of Indi-

years, but this comparatively brief ex-
perience 'has proven its high eco
nomic value, as we'll as it's great moral
beneficence, the Indianapolis Press
says. Some hundreds of paroled
prisoners in Indiana are leading the
lives OF good citizens. Under the sys.
tenn, the sentence of the criminal is
indeterminate. When, in the opinion
of the state board of pardons, he is
fit to make the effort to live outside
the walls, he is given his freedom or
parole. When he is freed ON parole
and, ii he can be reformed at all, he
seldom stays more than two years
he usually has more than S55 of earn
ings, and often he has much larger
sum. An agent of the state has al
ready procured for him place in a
factory Or on farm. His employer
is the only one that knows his ante
cedents, unless he chooses to tell
them himself. He and his employer
make written reports to the prison
monthly. aad agents Of the state verify
these reports as to conduct. When
the man has fully demonstrated his
ability and inclination to 1.-Two on up

Washington, Dec. 4.-The Republi-

Philippine bill as the unfinished bust
ness. 1t also considered at the same
time the disposition of the Hay
Pouncefote treaty and decided that
that question should receive alternate
attention with the shipping bill. The
arrangement provides that the ship
ping bill shall have preference, but
that when no one is prepared to make
a speech on it the senate shall go into
executive session for the considera-
ton Of the treaty.
IN accordance with this understand
Ing Senator Frye. at the first oppor-

up the bill. and II this motion pre-

will be to dsplace the Spooner bill.
which there is no disposition at this
time to press. Senator Frye proba-
bly, will make a speech 1t is not ex.
pected that any other senator win be
prepared to proceed on the subsidy
measure, and in that event Senator
Lodge, of the committee on foreign
relations, who will have charge of
the treaty, probably will move an
executive session in order to consider
the treaty.
The arrangement further provides
that if the army bill reaches the sen
ate prior to the disposal of the ship
ping bill or the treaty, either or both
of these may be displaced temporar-
fiu in To ha mt
consideration of that measure. which
Is considered to be of more pressing
Importance than either of the other
questions. The same understanding
prevails regarding the appropriation
bills.
Senator Morgan's Nicaraguan canal
bill received some consideration at the
hands of the committee on order of
business. The members of the COM
mittee apparently consider that the
ratification Of the treaty is neces-
sary preliminary to the passage of
the canal bill. and the present dis
position is to contend for that order
of precedence.
Some of the members who had
talked with Democratic senators ex-
pressed the opinion that there would
be no effort to prevent this legisla-
ton by factious opposition, though
they expect a number of speeches
against it.
Senator Lodge was called into the
conference for the purpose Of consul
tation concerning the treaty. He
stated that he would be prepared to
proceed with it at any time, and that
he was anxious to have it disposed
of at as early a day as possible.

WIDE OPERATIONS OF ARMY.
Secretary Root In His Report Covered
Them,

Them.
Washington, Dec. 4.-The annual
report of Secretary Root is of more
than usual interest, owing to it's wide
scope and the fact that it treats of
Philippine instruction, the Chinese
campaign, the developments in Cuba
and Porto Rico, and finally with the
subject OF army reorganization.
Some idea of what the army has
been doing in the field and at home
is conveyed by the secretary's state
ment that its operations included the
prosecution of the war for the appre-
hension of the Philippine insurrec-
ton, and the establishment of a gov
eminent in the Philippines; the res
cue of the foreign ministers in Pekin;
the preservation of the relief of dis
tress in Alaska, and til construction
of roads and telegraphs there; the
conduct of the government of Porto
Rico, until May ! last: the conduct Of
the government of Cuba prosecution
of river and harbor works: the con,
struction of sea coast Notifications;
the barriSoning and maintaining of
military posts and fortitications: the
discharge of about one-third of the
army and the re-enlistment of sol
diers to take their place, and the dis
tribution of supplies to the scattered
forces.
Secretary Root said the military
requirements in the Philippines may
be summed up as follows:
For the immediate future about CO.
600 men. This number may be pro-
excessively decreased by the gradual
disappearance of all insurrection aud
the restoration of order and by the
substitution of native roops, costing
less than half to support.
