Improving the Dairy Herd.

A dairyman may start with nothing
but the most ordinary cows, and by
simply breeding to dairy sires Of ex-
cellent quality and pure breeding he
will in few years have a fine work
ing herd, says Holstein-Friesian Reg
lister. There Is no reason why good
herd Of grades cannot be made to yield
a profit, but too many of us do not APP
preciate the value Of pure bred sire.

Timely and Valuable Suggestions.

Many people, especially women who
lead closely confined domestic lives,
suffer from what in general terms is
called nervousness. Among all forms
of treatment none has even approached
in success the intelligent use of DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of
Rondout, N. Y, which promotes an
easy and natural action of the digestive
organs and imparts tone to the nervous
system.

Cntarrh of the Uddcr.

Catarrh of the udder may be caused
by the COW lying ON damp ground

A jolly crowd had gathered there "and

years. as in full Colonial dress and pow
dered hair was received in the spacious
and brilliantly lighted reception hall. by
Mesdames Blair, Hoyle and Kincannon,
who graciously bade them welcome 10

ferns, mistletoe and holly %wr.aths, gave
abundant evidence of the Christmas
spirit abroad on this occasion Mrs. W..
II. Hoyle very gracefully opened the
program for the evening with n splendid
address, in which she welcomed the
guests and very successfully gave them
an insight into the work and pleasures
OF the Club life,
Hon. John Allen, in the delightful
manner for which he is SO famous, replied
to her and brought forth hearty applause
by his delicately worded compliments to
the Club, and in which he h%umorously
assured them that the fathers and bus
bands looked forward to this, the event
OF the year, as a child does to the com
ing OF Santa Claus.
Several beautiful tableaux followed.
participated in by Mrs. Duncan and
Master Harry, Misses Lizzie Armstrong,
Clifton Blair, DR., Gibbs and Mr.. Milan
Mrs billiard and V. c. Kincannon ad-
ded much to the enjoyment OF the eve
ming by their sweet song, 80 That We
Two Might be Maying " That patriot
ic song, my Country" that never
grows too old to be listened to with
pleasure, and that causes a quickened
throb in every American heart, vas
beautifully rendered by the chorus. And
last but O least. the old time, popular
melody. "Lorena" sweetly sung by
Mrs. Kate Finley.
A dainty and delightful salad course
was ia lltlessly served by thrae dainty

ROuvier Adopts a Firmer At
ttitude Toward Germany
CRISES IS MORE ACUTE.
French Authorities Refuse to Permit the
Transmission of a Telegram
Relating the Change in
the Situation.

London, June 24.--It is significant Of
the acuteness of the crisis still existing
between France and Germany that the
French Government Thursday refused
to transmit telegram from the Sun
correspondent at Paris in which 1t was
stated that Premier Rouvier was adopt
ing firmer attitude toward Germany,
based upon promise of English sup
port. This statement is quite true and
already has had effect of making the
situation more critical than ever.
This is the first time since Paul Derou-
lere's plot against the Republic, on the
day Of the funeral of President Faure,
that the Government has interfered
with kilograms.
A news agency despatch from Berlin
says that the French Governments note
on the proposed international conference
about Moroccan affairs was delivered TO
the German Foreign Office yesterday
morning, having been mailed instead of
wired, on account of its great length. 1t
is stated that the points over which
France and Germany disagreed have not
been removed.

SUCCESSFUL GINSENG FARM.
A. E. Edwards of Waterbury Cultivat
ing Plant on Large Scale.

Waterbury, June 24.-That there is
money in ginseng is very conclusively
shown by the experience of A. +. Ed
wards Of this place. About two and
q half years ago Mr.. Edwards started
IN small way with some seeds dug in
the woods around Waterbury. Since
that time he has put nothing into the
business but his time, while at the same
time keeping up his regular occupation,
and now has plants that would sell
readily at $4,000 as they are, the actu-
Al value being considerably more. Mr..
Edwards tells of trip to Williamstown
ne made last fall, when in five days he
obtained 400 seedlings, over 800 seeds,
and enough dry roots to net him S53,
ne now has under cultivation about
$500 plants and seedlings and expects
% increase even this number.
The ginseng business in this country
mas grown very largely during the past
lew years. The price Of cultivated roots
Il now about $3.50 per pound, will
plants and seeds in proportion. Gin
sehg Is drug very largely used by
me Chinese for all manner of ills, and
!. q now being very largely exported *
mat country, as it cannot be extensive
raised there. 1t is also used in Amer
~ TO some extent as an ingredient IL
heart tonics.

THE BEEF PARADOX.
Raw Material Is Cheaper Than Former
ly; Finisted Product Is Dearer.

Discussing @The Greatest Trust in
the World" Mr.. Charles Edward Russell
says, in the July installment in Every
body's:
"In the three years ending January
i, 1908, the value of the beef cattle
of the United States declined s163,oOo,-
600.
Il call attention to this fact, officially
reported. 1t is pivotal. The whole dis
cussion turns upon it.
aThe value of cattle has declined.
Has the price of meat to the consumer
declined?
Il print here tables from the retail
markets Of different cities. They do
not show that meat has become cheap
err. They show that it has become stead
lily dearer.
.Here, then, is the great, significant
truth we are to face: The cost of the
raw materia has diminished. The price
Of the finished product has increased.
in the history of commerce no such
condition has existed without designed
and abnormal control and manipulation.
Without abnormal manipulation no such
condition would be possible. If the cost
of Il e raw material and the cost OF the
finished product had kept some measure
Of relative pace, one ignorant of or
blind to the operations of this trust
might assert that raw material and
finished product together had merely
taken part in worldwide movement
of rising prices. No one can say that
now. The discrepancy is too glaring.
The raw material is cheaper; the I'M
ished product is dearer. In view OF
this fact. what shall we think OF those
laborious arguments by which aasovern'
ment department tries to show that tins
| trust Is no trust, that the packers prof
its are very small, that the public ha'
no reason to complaint Where are tn
books, now that will explain eneaI
cattle and dear beefG And Of what val
ne are any reports against the certain
nlain dollar and-cents experience Of ever.
