X. q. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Irade makes the foregoing resume of the
industrial situation. Continuing, it says:

anxiety among purchasers Of cotton goods
and there Were numerous inquiries for
forward contracts, but the volume of
business was not materially increased.
Quotations Of footwear are fully main
tanned at the recent advance. 1t is note
worthy that buying has been heaviest in
the finer grades and sample lines of
spring styles are also most sought in the
good qualities. A good feature is tie
urgency for quick shipment, indicating
that stocks are low Leather sells free

but hides appear to have risen above the
views of tanners, resulting in a quiet
market
Agricultural conditions are less salts
factory, and if the official estimate as to
cotton is not exaggerated the yield will
not be large enough to sustain consump-
ton at the present rate. Wheat is COM
ing forward freely, though receipts do not
equal the abnormally heavy movement
year ago. Corn developed strength he
cause of fears that injury would be done
by frost, and the movement is very slow
compared with last years figures.

Everybody knows that in a novel @
commonplace person may be made In
teresting by a deliberate, patient ex-
position of his various traits precisely
as we can learn to like very un1nter-
esting persons in real life if circum-
stances place them day after day at
our elbows. Who of us would not
grow impatient with the early chap
tiers of THE Newcomes," for instance,
or THE Antiquary" if it were not for
our fl It'll that Thackeray and Scott
know their business and that every
one Of these commonplace people Will
contribute something in the end to the
total effect? And even where the grad
ual development of character rather
than the mere portrayal Of character
is the theme of q novelist, as 50 fire.
quent with George Eliot, how color
less may be the personality at the out
set, how narrow the range of thought
and experience portrayed! Yet in
George Eliot's own words ''these COM
monplace people have a conscience
and have felt the sublime promptings
to do the painful right" They take
on dignity from their moral struggle,
whether the struggle ends in victory
or defeat. By an infinite number Of
subtle touches they are made to grow
and change before our eyes like living,
fascinating things.-Atlantic.

Whistler at West Point.

Among the famous men who were
for q brief term cadets at West Point
were Edgar A. Poe, the poet; Matt II.
Carpenter, the eminent lawyer and
statesman of Wisconsin, and James
MacNeill Whistler, the celebrated paint
er. Whistler remained three years at
the academy. The Army and Navy
Journal gives the following curious
story why he did not pass his exam
nation:
''The subject given him in chemistry
to discuss before the academic board
was Silica which constitutes per
cent of the solid matter of our earth.
Whistler, it was said, in perfect inno-
cence of the subject, but with his
enthusiastically charming manner,
described silica as an elastic gas, or
'saponifiable fat The young ladies in
the audience smiled approval, but the
stern academic board dispensed with
Whistler's further valuable services at
the Military academy"

How Glaciers Are Formed.

The joint cause of glaciers is precip-
itatiOn and cold. A low temperature
alone can do nothing without moisture,
and this fact quickly disposes of the
popular notion that glaciers invariably
exist in cold countries. Tibet, for
instance, and some parts of North
America are destitute of ice springs,
though eternal cold may be said to
reign supreme In those parts. Imag-
inc for q moment the higher noun
tains clear of snow and ice and then
watch for the formation of a glacier.
Snow falls and fills up all the val
lcys and gullies avalanches descend
from the higher parts and great ac-
emulation gathers in all hOllOWs. By
constant repetition of snowfalls (al-
ways provided a greater quantity is
deposited than can be melted by the
suns rays and by the natural warmth
Of the earth's cruSO great pressure is
put upon the lower portions by the su-
Derincumbent accumulation, and, aided
by the infiltratiOn Of water and re-
freezing, large body of ice is formed,
which at once begins to move down the
valleys containing it.

MisuIaced Confidence.

An Irishman once applied for job
on board certain ship.
"Well," said the captain, 'where are
your recommendations"
"Shure, an haven't emmy, sur"
Cant take you, then; got German
here with fine recommendations; have
to give the job to him."
Pat begged so hard, however, that
the captain finally agreed to take him
and the German both on a trial trip,
the best man to have the permanent
job.
They were we'll out at sea when a
storm arose one day while Pat and the
German were scrubbing the deck. y
big wave came along and swept the
German overheard with his bucket.
Pat Immediately picked up his bucket
and started after the captain. whom
he found below
well. Pat, what's the matter now
the captain inquired.
Faith. sur, We know that German
what had such foine denominations"
Eyes: what Of him?'
"Begorra. sur, an he's gone off with
one Of your buckets"

ExpIoding q Theory.

At the beginning Of the nineteenth
century the French Academy Of Sci
ences offered to give prize to the first
problem: If you take vase full Of
water and put stone or any similar
body in it, the water will flow over.
If, however, you put into it fish, the
volume of which is equal to that Of the
stone, it will not flow over. Explain
this phenomenon.
Learned essays ON the subject poured
in from all quarters, but the problem
was not satisfactorily solved in any
Of them, and consequently the prize
was not awarded.
In the followi::.e year the same ques-
ton was again propounded, and for
five years ansW rs continued to pour
in to the acade..y. Then it suddenly
occurred to ore of the academicians
that, after all the problem might be
incapable of solution, and he deter
mined to make q test for himself.
Filling a vase with water he put
a stone into it and saw that the water
flowed over. Then he took out the
stone, filled the vase again with water
and put into it a fish, the volume Of
which was the same as that of the
stone, and saw, to his surprise, that
the water again flowed over.
He told the academy of his discov-
cry and the result was that the offer
of a prize was at once withdrawn.

If we were to raise a heifer calf to
make dairy cow, the first thing would
be to select the calf from some COW
that was productive of milk or butter,
whichever we decided that we wished
to make our main product. We would
want the sire Of the calf pure bred
animal from family that was produc-
tive in the same line. If we could have
the cow also pure bred, we should like
good cows, keeping them because they
like good cow, and not caring to
raise up herd, are willing to sell the
calves at a nominal price or even to
give them away.
Probably the best Jersey cow that
ever stood in Massachusetts, was given
away as calf, as the party who
owned her mother did not want to
raise a calf. And the man who did
raise her refused $4,000 for her.
If we could be sure that the COW was
we'll nourished while she was carrying
the calf, but not kept too fat, it would
suit us all the better, for we believe
that the calf can be stunted by poor
nourishment before birth as we'll as
afterWard.
We never want to See paunchy or
pot bellied calf. We like the COW to
have a capacious body that she may
have plenty of room for her food, but it
is time enough to develop that when
she begins raising calves. If the calf
gets too large a belly, we think it
checks the growth. We want to build
up the framework first, then put on the
flesh and spread out the form.
We liked when we kept Jersey COWS
to have them come fresh when from
eighteen to twenty-one months old.
The Holstein and the beef breeds
might we'll be left q little longer,
though we would not return to the old
custom that prevailed when we were
young Of not allowing a heifer to drop
her calf until three years old. 1t is
true that some Of those three year-olds
were not as large or as mature as the
heifers are now at half that age, but il
they CHANGED to have fairly good pas
ture they would put on fat, to the loss
three years without yielding any prof
it, and many of them did not in the
next three either. They were scarcely
good for ten quarts of milk a day or
$50 pounds of butter in year.-Amer-
lean Cultivator.
Don't Sell Best Calves.
The high price for meat results in
the feeding Of many calves for the
butcher. At such times it is quite @
profitable business, but it should be
properly pursued. Farmers should not
be induced to sell their most promising
heifer calves for this purpose even at
good prices, for they should be worth
much more on the farm for cows, or, If
not all are wanted, they would sell very
readily either as heifers or cows to
those who desire superior stock.

FAULTS IN BUTTER.
Practical Man Tells the Meth ODDS
He Employs to Avoid Them.

He Employs to Avoid Them.
Dan Blauer, in an address before the
Wisconsin Butter Makers association.
said:
Let US bear in mind, first. that milk
is naturally Il pure product, ana II 1t
is found to be unclean chances are that
it is not the fault of the COW. Some
person is to blame, either the one who
cares for the COW or the one who han
dies the milk. In order to make fine
favored butter the milk must be in
first class condition when taken into
the creamery. There are some, how
ever, who get good milk and then can
not make i first class article Of butter.
OF such it must be said the fault is not
in the milk, but in the man or his tools.
If the buttermaker has his creamery
disinfected with antiseptic, which is
applied muscle and brush, he can in
that way prevent the development OF
foreign germ life. The cream should
be ripened by giving it the desired
amount Of acid and no more. | churn
the cream at 80 c. c., at a temperature
of 81 to Sc degrees.
We have many complaints that the
butter comes soft at temperature OF
81 to Sc degrees. My experience with
different churns has been that in the
process of churning the temperature
runs higher, varying from 2 to de-
grees. Ny way of testing the churn is
to put about the same amount of wa
fn I Il 10 al, FOX
temperature and churn about as long
as do the cream, then take the tenn
perature again, and this tells me the
temperature the cream should be when
put into the churn.
The sailing and working the butter
is another important matter. Many
butter makers hold to the theory that
the quicker it is sailed and worked so
much the better will be the quality Of
the product. This is a mistake. The
salt must have time to do it's work.
Work the butter about a minute, then
let 1T stand about fifteen; after this
take out sample on ladle, examine
it closely, and you will find drop Of
buttermilk and water hanging to each
kernel of salt. Work it again for an
other minute and let it stand another
fifteen; then take out a chunk, and
you will find that the drop of butter
milk and water has increased in size.
Butter should be worked about five
minutes and not to exceed one minute
at any time. By this method the salt
has plenty of time to do it's work and
take the most of the Unnecessary but
termilk and water out of the butter.
In the matter of rancid butter my ex-
perience teaches me that the trouble
lies in the butter containing too much
| buttermilk and being poorly packed.
The causes of notifies are many. They
may be caused by not properly strain
| ing the cream. Another cause is wash
| ing the butter with water which is not
of the same temperature as the butter.

A white fox is often mentioned in the

appears in their pictures of Benton, the
goddess of fortune. Among the Jap
anese, as among the ancient Greeks and
Scythians white horses were dedicated
to the gods and are still attached to
the larger temples of the country. The

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1902-01-14

An echo of the recent suit against DR.
II. R. Faringer, in which he was fined So
for cruelty beating his horse, was heard OF
Saturday, when Mrs Ida Sherman
brought suit against the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for hall
the fine. The law provides that one-hali
of the fine shall be paid to the inform
er, complainant or prosecutor, and the
other half to the Society.
1t was shown that Mrs Sherman wit
messed the beating of the horse, and re-
ported the case to the Society; that the
Society's agent, B. o. Herbert. after in
vestigating, made formal complaint be-
fore the Justice, and afterwards received
the whole of the fine, half of which he
kept himself, and the other half he paid
to the Society. 1t seems the right of the
Society's agent to receive that part of the
fine which goes to the 'finformer," has
neven before been disputed in this county.
Squire Jamison, before whom the &C
ton was brought, decided that the prac-
tice of the Society in allowing its agents
to make the formal complaint and receive
part of the fine, is contrary to reason
able Interpretation Of the law, but that in
this case Mrs. Sherman had no cause of
action against the Society, which had not
received the money in dispute, but should
rather have brought suit against Mr.. Her
bert or the Justice who paid him the
money. The case will be appealed.
