cess. Peas mixed with corn are also good, and
alfalfa to some extent. Any crop having a hol-
low stem generally makes poor silage because OF
the air stored with the crop. There is also little
reason for using crops that are easily cured in
the field, like the grasses and hays.

"Our Model Dairy Cow" must not only be well
made, bred and fed, but care about milking as
we'll. Her calf should be taken away the second
or third day, and fed on whole milk until after
two weeks old. She should be MIXED as early
as possible in the morning, and twelve hours
later in the evening to the minute each time if
possible. She then will always expect it and her
making of butter fat be uninterrupted. Never
speak to or about her above the ordinary tone of
voice. Use her in a ladylike manner, and you will
be suitably rewarded. One of our best State
publications, the Wisconsin, gives the following
rules about the milk and cream. I deem them
of sufficient Importance to insert here and rec
ommend their careful consideration:
THE MILK.
1. Always strain your milk before separating.
"2. Separate as soon as possible. Of no sep
arator, put it in the sprin-house or your best
place for the cream to rise.)
go. Feed the skim milk to the calves and pigs
as soon as separating is done.
THE CREAM.
Il. Always have cream receptacles for the
cream.
90. Cool the cream as soon as possible by STIR
ing with the can either in the cold air or cool
fresh water.
90. Note-Never put two patches of cream to-
gether until each has been thoroughly cooled.
81. Weigh your cream on a good scale, take a
sample and apply the Babcock test before ship
ping"
/ should add a fifth. Weigh and test each cows
milk every week, and when falling below the
standard, part with the COW; and sixth, [ would
pack up my butter by putting my brand and best
package on it, and standing by it with my name,
and then demanding the top of the market. How
ever, this is another chapter. Be careful of your
young heifers. Give them a small dose of sui
phate of magnesia morning and evening the
week before calving. If COWS show any danger
of milk fever, put a drachm of iodide of potash
in her drinking water night and morning, and she
will be kept free of this dreaded trouble.
Now, our cow does not object to be brushed off
daily, yet this is not so absolutely necessary as
ONE other things. Yet, always keep her clean.
and her surroundings, or you will have untold
millions of bacteria floating through the air
ready to be absorbed by any warm host, and milk
and cream are the very best absorbants known.
The faint we often detect in milk and butter
is simply filth. The milking place should always
be clean, sweet and airy, and free from flies. The
mixer should always keep an extra outer wrap
clean 50 as to never touch the pail or milk unless
perfectly clean himself, and with a little whisk
broom to brush away every particle of dirt, and
some clean warm water to wash the udder when
necessary. Always remember some one is liable
to drink that milk and how would you like your
baby, or sweetheart, (if you haven't the frst), to
be imbibing filth you have by your criminal neg
ligence imposed upon her. Remember, if you
have neither, some one else is not so unfortunate.

A Tall Stalk of Cotton.

There was brought into the Office
of The State yesterday stalk of
cotton which was taller than any
thing of the sort that even the pro-
verbal "oldest inhabitant'' had ever
seen in ''Ghese parts. The plant
measured feet and inches in height
and was big round accordin'. This
phenomenal stalk was from field OF
120 acres belonging to Mr.. S. H.
Sanders Of Florence county, and there
were many more sucn specimens in
the same field. The cotton is of the
King variety and was stimulated tc
its present growth by dose of 120C
pounds of fertilizer per acre, in which
200 pounds of nitrate of soda we're
included.
Mr.. Sanders is said to be in doubt as
whether he will pick his cotton with
the assistance of a hook and ladder
company or by means of force ol
monkeys, who could readily swing
from limb to limb. Some Of his neigh
bors have urged upon him the greater
profit of having the tract cut for tim

New Paper Money to be veIyety

Geyer's StatioDer announces that
the days of the crisp bank note are
numbered. Instead of being crisp, the
money which the government bureau
of Engraving and Printing will here
after turn out will be soft and vel
qaty. if important experiments which
are cow being conducted in the pres
ence of Treasury officers for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the advantages
of novel chemical treatment for paper
prove satisfactory. The result Of the
adoption of the new secret process
viii be to revolutionize portion Of
the work connected with the printing
of the paper money of the United
States. Under the new process it
will take just sixty days less time to
man afacture bank note than under
the present method. The chemical
solution not only renders the paper soft
and velvety, but it also makes it non-
shrinkable By applying it to {: Jap
anese napkin. that article becomes as
soft and pliable as tissue Of silk.
The chemical preparation acts as an
antisceptic and preservative. When ap-
piled to old document is it seems to knit
the fiber together and prevent further
decay. Under the present process Of
printing paper money the paper has to
be thoroughly soaked in water. While
it is in this soaked condition one side
of the paper is printed. The sheet is
then placed in steam room and kept
under a high temperature for thirty
DAYS, the time necessary for the ink
to dry. The sheet is again soaked as
in the first instance and the reverse
side of the bill printed. The thirty
day drying process then has to be re-
peated. In cases where third impres-
sion Of the bill is necessary, which is
required when the printing is done in
two colors. the wetting and drying
process has to be repeated for a third
time, and another month is thus con-
sumed in its production. Besides the
delay of this process, the wettlng and
drying rot the fiber Of the paper, and
although it is 'starched' to give it the
crisp appearance, the starch soon
wears out and the bill becomes limp
and worn. In printing hills on paper
that has been treated by the new pro-
cess no wetting is necessary. The ink
loses none of its lustre when applied
to the paper as under the old process.
and is thoroughly dry within forty
eight hours after the printing is
done.''

CHICAGO NEAT STRIKE ENDED.
President DonneIIy of the Butch
ers and Meat Cutters Union
Admits Defeat and De-
elares Strike Off.

Chicago, Sept. s.-The strike of the
butcher workmen, which has demoral-
lied the meat packing industry all
over the country for the last two
months, was officially declared off TO-
night by President Michael j. Don
nelly, Of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butcher Workmen Of Ameri-
ca. This morning Mr.. Donnelly tele-
graphed the members of the national
executive committee asking their con-
sent to an announcement Of the end OF
the struggle, and tonight, having re-
cei7ed favorable answers from all, he
declared that the strike Of the mem
bers Of his organization would end at
midnight.
The strike of the members of the
affiliated Unions at the stock yards,
who quit work in sympathy with the
butchers will officially be called off
tomorrow morning at meeting OF the
conference board of the allied trades.
This was decided upon at meeting
of the central body of the allied trades
held tonight. The general body was
at first in favor Of continuing the
strike, but Mr.. Donnelly, who was
present, announced that the men were
defeated, aad that in order to save his
union from being entirely disrupted
he would order his men to return to
work in the morning, no matter what
course might be taken by other unions.
AS the, other unions mad no grievance
Of their own, but had gone on strike
to aid the butchers. there was nothing
left for them but to follow the lead
OF Mr.. Donnelly, and they too decided
to call off the strike as far as they
were concerned.

clash with the strike breakers, the
police were mlassed at the yards il an
effort to maintain order among the

bowing workers. Many were put to
work at once, while others were pro-
missed work at an early date.

more than 12,OO0,000 in the native
born population, the foreign born pop
ulation increased little more than /,
100000. There was a marked de-
crease in the number of persons OF
German and Irish birth, but the great
immigration from Italy is reflected
in an increase from 1872, $50 to nearly
100000, and the last four years have
added largely to this. Agriculture
remains the chief single industry, but
the progress of the United States in
its material industries siuce 1890 is
something unprecedented
Setting aside the gross figures, in
crease of which is in a measure due
to increased population-and the Off
cial estimate of our population today
is $4,000, 000-and reducing the stats
tics to per capita basis, the results
seem even more striking. The money
in circulation in 1890 was less than
s23 per capita and is now more than
s3l. Merchandise imported for con.
sumption has not increased, being
about $3.50 per capita, while our ex-
ports of domestic merchandise have
grown from $3.50 to $3.50 per
capita and the proportion of this rep
resented by manufactures has nearly
doubled. Examination of the amounts
OF commodities retained for domestic
consumption shows that the American
people are better fed and better
clothed than they were when the pre-
vious census was taken.

CHRISTIAN ENpEAvoR IN NORTH
. CHINA,

Rev. WIS. Ament. ID. d., Pekin. in
The Missionary Herald of the
American Board, says: There is no
theme which stirs my blood more
than that of Christian Endeavor in
China, especially that part of it with
which 4 am acquainted. My judg-
ment is that the Christian Endeavor
movement and its principles are to be
one of the great forces in the re-
demption of China. 1t is adapted to
the Chinese modes of thought, and
when well understood commands their
utmost respect. The movement enters
into the monotonous life of people in
the Orient. and stirs them with the
consciousness that Christianity is
something which expects constant
activity and loyalty to principles.
This idea is put in concrete form by
the responsibility laid on each mem
Der with regard to the meetings and
doing ones duty in committees The
departments in Christian Endeavor
which most influence our people are
the prayer meeting first and foremost;
thpn the opportunity for helpfulness
III charitable ways, and the develop
ment OF sociability. Our prayer meet
iugs have been re-created and are the
wonder of many. To see and hear
the naturally immobile Chinese be-
come prompt apd brief in prayer
meeting activities is privilege which,
as one expressed Il, he never expected
to live to witness. The features
which are prominent and useful in the
United States are the si><e with us

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me. March 2l.-AIrs.
A. l.. Smith, OF this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her Recommendation By the following ex.
perience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass of. In month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even the whites Of her eyes would be yel.
low.
The doctors gave us no announcement,
they all said they could not help her.
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad SPELL OF
course, we continued the treatment un.
til she had used in all about dozen
boxes, and we still give them to her &C.
casionally, when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs.
Smith, for by SO doing they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future for
them.
