The news yesterday was scarce. and it
cannot be said that the few developments
OF the day had any effect on the market.
London was strong. and this fact, per
York buoyaut, with the remembrance
that the bank statement last Saturday
was a good one. Money rates during the
day were high again, at one time g per
cent for call loans. This counteracted the
effect of the good bank statement to a
certain extent. The chance of a Jersey
Central strike seems to be past. None of
the rumored deals We're announced Off

a bad effect on the stocks involved at
their present high prices. Burlington

February IA. known to all Americans
as St Valentines day, is the anniver-
sary Of the death of the saint and
martyr. It is not clear why the pecu-
liar character of the day observances
in the nineteenth century had origin
as mark OF respect to him. II Is
more likely that some such observance
obtained long before the advent Of the
saint and became known by his name
merely from the fact that he was put
to death on that day. He was first
cruelty beaten with clubs by order Of
Claudius, emperor Of Rome, and was
then beheaded His real name was
Valentinus, and it was several hundred
years after his death that the College
Of Cardinals at Rome canonized him
as saint There are also two other
saints Of the same name, Valentinus
of Interamna, bishop and martyr; and
Valentinus. bishop Of Passau. The lat.
ter fourished in the fifth century.

the effect that the price OF Australian
butter Is frming In consequence OF IL

so large as was anticipated, says the
Australasian, OF Australia. Before the

that dairymen, exporters. and the gov

believe that the exportable surplus for
1900 would amount to fully 5000 tons
more than was sent away last year.
The prolonged winter in the principal
grazing districts OF Gippsland. whence
a large bulk Of the Victorian supplies
come. has diminished the output there
considerably. The season has not been
so severe In the northern and other
milder districts. and the supplies from
those parts win be heavier than before.
Il Is, however. the opinion OF a gentle
man connected with the trade that the
falling-off from Gippsland for the sea-
son viii be sufficiently great to more
than oounterbalance any increase from
the north. northeast. and west. He
anticipates that the price for the rest
OF the season viii keep moderately

the fact aforementioned. Last year
the season opened well IN the matter
of price. and fell gradually; this season

very large The fact that Il will prob
ably not reach that OF last year must

Treatment Of Bovine DI.tsmpsr.

ment station says:
The treatment OF bovine distemper
may be divided into hygienic and med
icinal. The hygienic treatment con-
sists in allowing the animal plenty Of
fresh air, at the same time, however,
severe weather or strong drafts should
be avoided. The animal should have
plenty Of good. nutritious and easily
digested food.
The medicinal treatment Is princi-
pally symptomatic Laxatives, diuret-
les, anti-pyretics, alternatives and
tonics are advocated.
II is well to open the bowels at the
onset OF the disease with one pound OF
common salts magnesium sulphate).
If the extremities are swollen. a dose
Of two ounces OF nitrate Of potash,
given as a drench twice a day, often
relieves the trouble. and at the same
time helps to lower the temperature.
Where the temperature is very high
and does not seem to be affected by
the nitrate OF potash, quinine may be
given in drachm doses two or three
times a day, dissolved in a little aleo-
hol and given as a drench. When the
animal is run down, sulphate Of iron'
two drachms, powdered nux vomica,
one drachm, and powdered gentian'
two drachms, given in little corn
meal night and morning. tend to build
the animal up.
If the breathing is dihicult, frequent
inhalations Of steam containing little
turpentine OF tar as a rule work very
nicely. When the nervous symptoms
are severe, bromide Of potash. four
drachms, and tincture Of cannabis in
dica, one ounce, given every three
hours, often quiet the animal A two
drachm dose OF iodide Of potash. night
and morning, given either by itself or
with the preceding powder, has an ex-
cellent alternative effect. When the
disease is complicated by pneumonia,
it is well to blister the chest with a
eantharides blister The pulse should
be watched very closely and II It be-
comes weak, one-grain doses OF sui
phate OF strychnlne should be admins
tered hypodermically. Steam should
be applied frequently. II may be well
to add. In conclusion, that the hygienic
treatment is generally all that is neees-
sary in the mild forms Of bovine dis
temper, and that the more severe
symptoms should be treated as they
arise.

Still winter stars are shining.
Still winter sunsets glow,
And still the brooks repining
In crystal confines flow.
But somewhere in the starlight
The vernal beams are met,
And somewhere in the far light
The hope Of spring is set.
From winter gloom the glory
OF springtime shall unfold,
The marvellous, sweet story,
The ever new and old;
What time the heart Of maid.
What time the heart Of lover,
What time the heart Of maid,
Turn lightly to each other,
And happy VOWS are paid.
And must / still be only
The beggar at your gate,
To lie forgotten, lonely,
And vainly for you waltz
VIII you not send some token
This longing heart TO cheer,
Now winters spell is broken,
Now springtime's grace is nearf
So hear me now confessing
The love you long have known.

Egg-eaters among hens are unneces-
sary. Often 1t viii be found that the
egg-eater is the same hen that lays
the soft-shelled egg. This Is proof
that both things arise from the same
source-a wrong condition in the
fowls feed or care.
An eastern paper reports a hen that
has formed a most excellent egg-laying
habit. She began to lay about the last
Of April, and up to the last Of No
vember had laid one egg a day, taking
a vacation OF only two weeks at one
time. This is a slight indication Of
what possibilities there are in a fowl.
We hear talk Of an egg trust but
we think this is one kind OF trust the
financlers cannot manage. At least
a combination Of that kind would be
short lived. The incubators and the
hens are so numerous that the number
OF hens in the country could be dou-
bled in six months.
We notice IN a poultry contempo-
rary an article charging the gapes to
cracked corn. We supposed that this
question had been settled long ago. It
is now well known that the Eapes are
due to the gape-worm, and not to any
system Of feeding. unless II be a sys-
tenn that permits the chicks TO get all
the gape-worms they want through

It was something Of a surprise to II

ter Is not clean enough for the use OF
the cheesemaker. It was supposed that
the milk from which our best cream
cry butter is manufactured is as good

Mr.. Aderhold says not and he may
be right In the making Of butter the
milk Is passed through the separator

It seems to be a fact that milk as a

less. but that the relative amount Is
lessening. We think the explanation
