his eye this way and that to express
satisfaction. He liked the water just
down from the sky. Then he faced
outward and flirted his long, slim
black tail into the water throwing it
under his lifted wings and shaking

Next he took a dive and got into it
with both feet, his wings shaking the

Hereabouts one can rent or buy al
most on his own terms houses and
farms. One five room cottage, two
rooms upstairs, rents, with house, or
chard and garden, for $3.50 a month
Another, a great, old, many roomed
mansion built sixty years ago, with
barn, lawn, vegetable and flower gar
den and pasture field, rents for slightly
over 800 a year. AS one drives
through Fairfield county with a person
who knows the land the person will
point to this, that and the other aban-
doned home and say:
"There's a house you can buy or rent
for almost nothing" The doors are
barred, the fences fallen to decay, the
walks overgrown with grass and
weeds or bouncing BEETLES and yellow
lilies. Somehow one Of these deserted
farmhouses gives you the impression
of an abandoned graveyard.
Why are these farms abandoned?
It is that the amount Of brains and
energy necessary to get good living
on them will bring greater returns
elsewhere. There seems no outlook for
New England lands of this sort except
to be sold to wealthy people for fancy
country estates. Some of the old Con
necticutters that still hang to their
ancestral acres do fairly well taking
summer boarders, who are becoming
annually more numerous as city folk
discover the beauty and healthfulness
of this region. 1t is an excellent local
ity for poultry rearing and small fruit
culture and an ideal one for dairying
on moderate scale.

A marked Improvement in the condi-
ton of cows has quickly come with
full grass feed. Pastures in dairy
states are in splendid condition. The
rains have been heavy, and the warm
weather between showers has given
grass a tremendous start. In twenty
years we have never seen the country
looking better. We believe the butter
and our opinion is that the make of
butter will be far in excess of the esti-
mates heretofore made.
We notice that operators are unusu-
ally eager to make contracts for butter
at extreme prices. Boston seems to be
particularly hungry, several large con-
tracts having been made in the west at
prices too high for New York and other
leading markets to touch.
1t is pretty certain that many eastern
spectators are anticipating high prices
on account Of the passage of the circuit

A Good June.
Western pastures were never better

nal. For a number Of seasons there has
been no excess of RAINFALL though no
severe drought, and the ground has
gradually become dry. Semiweekly
and more often daily rains were the
weather mans programme this spring.
and as a result the ground has been
thoroughly soaked, pastures are knee
deep with grass, and cattle which
went into pasture in April in impover
ished condition rapidly reached the
normal state. The June make of west
ern goods was little if any short of the
usual output.

with jealous eye, to refuse to make ex-
penditures that in previous years she
deemed absolutely necessary.
1t is not the miners proper nor their
dependents who suffer most keenly, at
least so far as the question of subsist-
ence goes, from the effects of a long
continued coal strike. 1t is the Poles,
Hungarians, Italians and Slavs, who
are not, except in few instances, min
ers according to the local definition of
the term. They work about the mines,
inside and out, as labOrers and helpers
at wages very much inferior to those
paid the miners, from which it is quite
impossible for them to save much if
anything even if they were inclined to
do SO, which as a rule they are not.
When the miners lay down their picks,
these laborers, which form a large
proportion of the working force of a
mine, are necessarily thrown out of
employment and are i'll prepared for
the shutdown They have nothing put
by for their future, and want and hun
ger soon come upon them. They live in
the worst habitations that the regions
afford, large families Of them accumu-
lating in small rooms, many in a house.
Their condition even during prosper
Gus times is sufficient to arouse COM
miseration. Most of the members of
these families cannot speak English,
and the people who seek to succor
them are made to understand their
wants with difficulty through some
addle headed interpreter.
The Slayonic tribes and the Magyar
Hungarians as a general rule live in
the same settlement. The Italians live
by themselves. All are in abject pow
erty, living in rude shanties which
they have thrown together upon the
companies lands. If there is any diff
ference in the degree of poverty, the
condition Of the italian mine laborer is
the more pitiable.
One of the most notable of these
italian settlements is near Latimer,
near where the shocking tragedy Oc-
Cured in the last great strike. The
principal mine in that direction is the
Pardee mine. The mine laborers have
made homes for themselves back of the
mine. They built their wooden huts at
the edge of the culm bank of such tim
Der as they could find discarded from
tunnel shores or lying unclaimed along
the road.
The streets are not streets, but little,
narrow alleys 1t would be impossible
to drive a horse and wagon through
them. The houses are all one story
high and of the most primitive con-
struction. A respectable farmer of
Pennsylvania would hesitate before
intrusting his hogs to them.
In nearly every one of the homes of
the Italian miners there is a family of
at least five children. That is the aver
age, and many of these sheds shelter
as many as twelve children.
The browning glory of the italian
village is its goats. The milk makes

one of the principal forms Of diet of
the children. That and black bread is
about all they get.
The homes of the Huns and Slavs
are very much like those of the Ital-
ians in construction and surroundings,
though somewhat more clearly and
comfortable. The houses are only one
story high built of lumber discarded
from the mines. The roofs are shin
gled, though usually leaky in places
and REINFORCED with strips of sheet
iron, also from the mines. Behind the
houses are struggling little gardens
planted with potatoes, corn and beans.

ors of the Hungarian race. 1t present

Hard as is the lot of the American
miner in the anthracite field during a
prolonged shutdown, it is not to be
compared to the suffering and distress
of the foreign element in the coal belt,
whose condition at best is one of pov-
erty and squalor.

Get Better Cows.
Dairy Commissioner w. w. P. Nc
Council says he has for many years
been advocating not more cows, but
better ones. The point is a forcible
one. Records and tests which are in
controvertible show that one COW may
produce nearly or quite twice as much
butter from a given quantity of food
as another COW. A man with the right
kind of cows may be making a hand
some profit, while his neighbor, who
feeds as well and gives as good care, is
losing money, the difference being Who'll
ly due to the difference in the cows on
the two farms. The sure way to eX-
pand the dairy industry is to force
home upon dairy farmers the knowl-
edge which is essential to success. 1t
is hard to say which is the more i'm
portant, the individual merit of the
COW or the food and care given her.
1t is not necessary to consider their
relative Importance. Both factors are
all important. Without good food and
care no COW will pay, and the best Of
food and care are wasted when given
to poor cow.-Oregon Agriculturist.
A Dairy Schools Record.
The practical and effective work of
the dairy school Of the Ohio State uni
versity will be seen at a glance when
it's record is made known. In brief, out
of the limited total Of fifty admitted to
the school thirty students are now pre-
pared to take permanent places in
cheese factories and creameries, and
calls have already been received for
twenty of these young men. According
to indications every graduate will find
a place awaiting him at the close of
the school. Truly here is a field for
technical labor and for good business
management which is not overcrowd-
ed.-American Agriculturist.
Fed Green Corn.
One of our best dairymen in an ad-
dress before a farmers institute said
that during the summer, his pastures
getting short and having no soiling
crop, he commenced cutting off and
feeding his milk cows his corn. He
kept a close account and found it paid.
This shows the Importance of feeding
well at all times if the flow of milk is
to be maintained and that it can be
done profitably and a good product OBJ
tanned.
stock Methods.
1t is said by some that butter made
from separator gathered cream is not
as good as when separated at the
creamery. This may be so in some
cases, but it is because the farmers do
not take good care of the cream be-
cause they are too slack and slovenly
or keep it too long. 1t surely is not as
much work to cool and care for the
cream as the whole milk.
