quarrel between TWO lovers In
Pennsylvania has opened up novel

The lovers are, or were, Frank Seno-

A few weeks ago Frank popped the
question, but with strange blindness

Apples are now recommended by
many physicians as brain food. because
they contain quantity of phosphoric
acid and are easily digested. When
eaten at night, some little time pre-
vious to retiring, they are said to ex-
cite the action of the liver and pro-
duce sleep.

An English shoe trade organ quotes
one of the travelling statesmen of a
Liverpool house as follows: "In look

adapting themselves to the wants OF
each particular market with a clever
ness which will always make them
formidable competitors.'

We frequently hear wonder ex-
pressed that Denmark exports butter
and imports oleomargarine. The truth
is that in Denmark oleomargarine is
sold for what it is. and the farmers
there eat oleomargarine and sell their
butter, making, as they figure it, a
profit in the transaction. Notice this
that they buy their oleo at about Is
cents a pound retail after it has paid
all the expenses of it's ocean voyage.
That is lower price than the aver
age American pays for it, for he fire.
quently pays 20 or rs cents a pound
for 1t, as he buys it as butter To COM
pei 1t to be sold only under it's own
name is the great fight of the Ameri-
can dairyman. 1t is probably true
that Denmark last year imported from
the United States 35,00000O pounds OF
oleo oil, but that importation did not
injure the Danish dairyman for the
reason that it was not sold for what
IL was not. Had it been sold as but
ter to the customers of the Danish
butter makers 1t would have done i'm
mense injury to the butter trade OF
Denmark.

Individuality of the COW.

The ability to utilize food and CON
vert it profitably into milk and butter
is quality of cows that varies with
amounts of milk and butter which
different cows make from a given
amount of food, and is spoken of as
the individuality of the COW. Among
both ordinary COWS and cows Of pure
breeds the variation in this respect is
quite remarkable, as illustrated to a
marked degree in the study of the
herd owned by the Connecticut Agri-
cultural College that was made during
the year 1898. According to this study
the cow with the best record produced
during the year 500 pounds of butter,
at profit of $42.S2, while during the
same time the COW with the poorest
record produced 172 pounds of butter,
at loss of $4.09. Even in a COMPARE
son of the five most profitable cows
with the five least profitable, the diff
ferences are still remarkable. The
former five cows produced butter al
an average of 400 pounds per COW for
the year, at an average profit of S31. 20:
while the latter five COWS averaged
21S pounds of butter each, at an av-
erage profit of 81 cents. Similar diff
ferences in the individual qualities of
different cows are observed in the
comparison of the production of milk
These variations in the amount of but
ter and milk produced by individual
| COWS in this herd are not excentional
The records of station herds where in
dividual records have been kept show
variations fully as great as these.

thinks the details of an item for s29. 25
incurred by him should be made plain.
and writes the following communion
ton in the matter:

Cured by me in January for hack hire.
think in justice TO the Board OF
Health. the item should be further eN-
planned. Undoubtedly your reporter
omitted TO state fully what the bill was
for through lack OF space: but. mas
much as the public are entitled TO know
the whole truth. / trust you will permit
me to use little more Of your valuable
space TO explain the item further.
The bill you have reported as S29.2
for hack hire. covers all charges made
by me as agent Of the Board OF Health
for the appraisal OF personal effects in
the infected district. and. as stated in
the bill. $500 OF the total amount
thereof is for cash paid by me at the
rate Of two and three dollars per day
TO persons assisting me in handling and
opening bulky boxes of Asiatic food
stuffs and other goods. Accurate. de-
tailed inventories Of all goods left on
infected premises were made i'm order
that justice might be done, not only
TO the Government. but also TO that
class Of people whose statements under
oath are apt 10 be discredited. Several
persons assisted me in this work Who'll
ly without compensation and the above
rates which were allowed the others
are so low. in view Of the care with
which the work was done and the eX.
IRENE danger to those who were taking
part In II, that ! am sure that the most
severe critic can find no fault with
them
Finally. I might add that not only
has this little bill for cash paid out
by me not as yet been repaid. but hav,
not presented any bill for my own ser.
