A Letter from Mr.. Rouss' Reader.

a Letter from Mr. ROusss Reader.
A correspondent signing himself &C.
writes to the Gerardstown Times, the
following letter
It was with much pleasure that / re-
newed my acquaintance with you and
Mrs. Morgan, as we drove along busting
Broadway, grand Fifth Avenue. and in
Central Park-the finest park in the
world.
1T IS a part of my duties to accompany
Mr.. c. B. Rouss on his drives morning
and evening between his residence and
place of business. taking care of him in
his blindness and reading the daily pa

e 1 have been in New York four years,
spending one year in the law Office of
Colonel John R. Fellows. The people
as general thing are not as genial as
those of the South but are more hustling
and stirring.
My recent trip to Winchester, Va,
with Mr.. Rouss and others, was a very
pleasant one. We were most kindly
received by Mr.. t. NJ. Bautz, his wife
and beautiful daughter Our acquain-
lance in Winchester is limited, as am
originally from lucky Ho.
Our return trip of FIVE hours from
Winchester to Hagerstown was indeed a
slow one, caused by frequent stoppages
to take on peaches, of which enormous
crops are grown in this section.
II had the pleasure of meeting Mayor
Robt, t. Barton, the author of Barton's
Chancery Practice, although I studied
Minors Institutes while at the University
of Virginia, drinking from the Pierian
Spring at the feet of John B. Minor, the
Scion of the South.
+" 1 wish to correct statement of one
ofthe Winchester papers that Mike Lynch
the man who was driving for Mr.. Rouss
when a man was run over and killed one
might last week, accompanied him to
Winchester. He never was in Virginia.
The report of the New York papers of the
accident were inaccurate in some respects
Only your correspondent, the driver
Lynch and Mr.. Rouss were in the car
riage at the time The accident is deeply
regretted but unavoidable. twas one of
those unfortunate occurrences which are
almost inevitable upon the crowded
thoroughfares of a great city. The won
der is that more of them do not occur. "

In recent speech in Chicago Hon.
David B. Henderson. Speaker of the
House of Representatives. saidthat he sup
ported President Mckinley and advo-
Gated his reelection because Mckinley
is strictly following the ideas and policy
of Alexander Hamilton.
The following extracts from one of
Hamiltons most famous speeches deliver
ed June IS, 1887, before the Federal con-
vention at Philadelphia will fully Illus
trated Speaker Henderson's meaning.
After advocating constitutional pro-
vision fixing the term of office of the
President for life, Mr.. Hamilton said:
believe the British Government
forms the best model the world has ever
produced.
All communities divide themselves
into the few and the many. The first
are the rich and well born, the othersthe
mass of the people.
THE people are turbulent and chang
ing. They seldom Judge or determine
rightly. Give. therefore, the first class a
distinct and permanent share in the gov
eminent .
Nothing but a permanent body can
check the impudence of democracy
Their turbulent and uncomfortable drspo-
sition requires checks"
It is admitted you can not have a
good executive upon democratic plan.
See the excellencY of the British ex-
ecutive. Nothing short of such an ex-
ecutive can be efficient"
" The voice OF the people is said to be
the voice of God. but this NAHUM is not
true.
. A democratic government of the mass
of the people can never be good. ''The
British executive is above temptation
he can have no distinct interest from the
public welfare. Nothing short of such
an executive can be efficient"
Mr.. Henderson was born under the
sovereignty of England, and this is why
he advocates an English form of govern
ment for the United States.

THE REST CURE.


This is often the best cure. But
many people cannot afford to. rest
indefinitely. Worse still, the very
knowledge that they cannot, serious
ly interferes with the best use of the
rest they have. Too often going to
the doctor means that the patient
shall stop short, while cares and
duties and expenses continue
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.

way out of the dilemma; ithas done

New York Butter. Making.

A communication from the Geneva
Experiment Station says:
Butter making is again coming into
greet prominence as an industry In the
dairy sections of New York. Improved
methods and increased cleanliness in
milk handling, cream ripening and
ehRrntug are making the product Of
some Of our creameries of high quality
and great uniformity; but we still tail
to reach the standard set by Denmark.
Occasional butter faults will crop out
even In high grade butter factories and
the product of the state as a whole Is
far from uniform.
one reason for this difference be-
tween New York and Denmark lies In
the fact that the Danes make great use
Of the pasteurizer in their butter max
Ing, New York very little use. This Is
perkaDs due to the fact that early
tr1alZ Of the continuous pasteurizing
machines in America were not favor
able to their use.
Experiments made at Geneva in 1899,
however, seem to indicate that the
fault did not lie in the machines, but
in the low temperature used in mani
pulating them; for at Geneva, using
temperatures Of 176 degrees F. and
1876 degrees F., the germ-destroying
power of the machine was most excel
lent. The numbers of bacteria present
were reduced from hundreds Of thou
sands or even millions to two or three
hundreds at most, usually to much
smaller numbers. Butter made from
milk heated momentarily to these high
temperatures had very little cooked
Gavor; and if handled rightly, none at
oil. Further experiments in making
butter from pasteurized milk are to b.
made. -.,.s oil. ~
Silver Wyandottes are the product
Of a number OF crosses. the most I'M
partant cross having been the Buff
Cochins with the Silver spangled
Hamburgs. They were little known
previous TO 1870. and were at first
called Sebrjght Cochins. Another
cross was subsequently made OF thG
S!lver-Spansled HaEburgs with thc
Dark Brahma. and the results of the
two were amaigamated. having been
also modified slightly by the addition
CT some Breda blood. 1t was not till
1883 that the. Silver Wyandsttes were
officially recognized as breed.

Poultry Briefs.

Without doubt food havors esgs but
the general market has never found
it out. With the market fresh egg
is fresh egg and its freshness is its
only standard of relative value. Yet
the egg from good wholesome food Is
Tar superior to the egg made OF all
kinds nt swill. When the public
awakes to this fact there will be an
Improvement in the quality OF eggs,
and not before that time.
The enthusiastic poultryman has It
in his power to produce o strain OF
egg-producers in almost any breed.
Some OF the breeds that have the best
reputation for egg production, such
as the Leghorns, Hamburgs and Nj
,norcas, have never been as popular
with the great mass Of farmers as
have the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes
and Brahmas. In these latter breeds
are now found strains Of egg producers
that arc almost the equals OF some OF
the distinctiyely reproducing breeds.
But this has been brought about only
by experimentators, and with poultry
the development of strains is slow and
rather difficult, owing to the fact that
1t Is small business recording the work
OF each individual hen for a year or
two. gG,- -.
A practical poultry keeper says Of
the Toulouse geese that they need lit
tie water except for drinking. As for
ayers they are excellent and make a
coed living in the wheat stubhle. Some
object to them in the pastures in early
epring, as they feed very close and pull
up many of the stalks of grass by the
roots. This of course is detrimental
to the pasture that cannot spare any
stalks of grass. There is differen &c
Of opinion as to whether or not cattle
will Craze in pastures that have been
fed over by geese. The opinion pre-
walls to some extent but some poultry
men assert there Is nothing In it, as
they have grazed geese and cattle to-
gether for dozen Of years. There
are few farmers that keep enough
geese to injure q pasture in this Way
even il the cattle do raise an objec-
ton. Toulouse geese will make use
Of swampy and waste land that is OF
no value for anything else.

treatment when they are attacked After
they are half grown. and hence fowls
that might from their size be treated
successfully with q feather do not re-
qnire treatment OF any sort. It Is the
very young chicks that suffer most.
and the only remedial treatment sin
their case that seems to me to be sue
cessful is rubbing the neck from time
to time with lard or vaseline thor
oughly mixed with little turpentine
e parts Of the lard or vaseline to !
part OF turpentine). This treatment
should begin before the disease makes
it's appearance. 1t will not help chick
in the last stages OF the disease. Pure
turpentine will very quickly kill q
chick when rubbed on the neck over
the trachea, fact which have sew
eral times demonstrated on badly al
fected individuals. sa5 - "

treatment with special care In the mat
TER Of drinking water, using only pure
water and changing it several times a
day.
