been so almost absolutely secluded
from the public view, or at least from
public knowledge. that most people
probably thought he had died some
time ago. In his day he was the most
prominent figure in American financial
circles. He was born at Sandusky, O.,
in 1921. and began his active business
life with E w Clark & Co, bankers,
at Philadelphia In 1858, in connec-
tion with his sons, he established the
great house of Jay Cooke & Co. This
was before the days of great captains
of industry. trust promoters and multi
millionaires, aud yet his financial op-
erations were on a great scale 1t was
no small operation to handle the
larger part of the $4,000, ,0o0, 900 bonds
issued by the government during the
war of the rebellion, but he did it cas-
lily and most successfully. His next
important venture was not so success
full, for, after promoting several minor
enterprises, he undertook the financial
management of the Northern Pacific
railroad construction A financial de-
gpression ensued in 1873. The house
failed and a disastrous panic ensued.

Same Old Way of Milking.

After all that has been said about
the need for care in milking we no
tice that most of the milking is still
done in the some old way, without
care, without clean hands, without
clean clothes, without anything over
the top of the pail to insure cleanli-
ness, among bad odors. amid
switching tails. in the midst of
manure in the barnyard and
in the stable. Here and there are
dairymen that are conducting their
business on scientific principles and
with all the appliances that make for
cleanliness. These establishment
have been written up again and again.
The papers have published numerous
articles concerning them, the dairy
conventions have listened to hun
dreds of papers on these model ways,
and yet the old methods go on A
good many producers of milk seem
to think that dirt and dairying go
together. The dairyman is learning
that the air of a foul stable is swarm
ing with putrescent bacteria, that
there are ways of keeping the stable
clean and of keeping the milk COM
paratively pure as it comes from the
cow Then why does he not adopt the
new ways and give US clean milk?
The answer is habit For centuries
certain habits of dafrying have pre-
in the world to uproot. Hoary errors
are almost sacred in the eyes of some
people. 1t is enough for them to say,
my father did SO and it is good
enough for me-" 1t requires some
energy to rouse ones self from the old
ways and shake off the dust of ancient
habits.

H. s. Homes Pegler, secretary of the

France the subject of goats and tuber-
cuIosis has received more attention.
Professor Nocard stated some seven
or eight years since that out of 10000

of that city failed to discover single

milk as a diet for children has many
advantages over cows milk, as 1 have
often demonstrated, but this one great
virtue transcends all others, and 1t Is
inconceivabIe that parents knowing
this, and having the opportunities and
accommodation for goat-keeping,
should not avail themselves of so
simple and economical a means of at
once providing their children with the
most easily digesub1e and most nour-
ishing of food, and safeguarding them
from one of the greatest evils that civ

Growth of the Packing Industry.

Growth of the Packing Industry.
The steady growth in the meat
packing industry is shown by the cen
sus reports. In 1850 the amount of
capital invested in the meat packing
business was S3,482, 500, which was
then considered a very large sum. BY
the last census this investment had
grown to S1S9,19S,264. Fifty years ago
there were 1S5 establishments in
which meat packing was done; now
there are 921- Half century ago the
labor was done by 3.276 employees; in
1900 the number employed was 6S534
Wages paid during the last census
year amounted to 33.457 o13 against
1,231, $50 fifty years before The value
of the finished products had increased
from about 81, 600, 900 to over 1885,
600, ,000- The number of establishments
increased over that OF half a century
ago, but is less by 1000 than 1T was
ten years ago This is due to the abb
