FOR GOTHAM, 100000 COWS
Vast Number of Bovines Which Sup
ply New York with It's Milk
and Cream Products.

1t takes 100000 cows TO supply
New York city with milk and
cream, and other cities in about
the same proportion TO popula'
ton. If it were necessary to de-
liver this quantity in wagons,
bread and milk would be greater
luxury than terrapin in all large
cities. But the milk train and the
refrigerating process bring city
and country into surprisingly
close relations. Every New Eng
land state pours milk into Boston.
Each day trains start from points
in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont, more than 100 miles
away. Philadelphia's milk-routes
radiate for distances nearly as
great in all directions, like the
.spokes of a wheel-Obviously not
a waterwheel. And Chicago
draws on the great dairy states of
the middle west. New York, with
its enormous population, receives
milk from close to the shores of
Lake Ontario and the River ST.
Lawrence; certain of these routes
are nearly 400 miles long. Parts
of New Jersey and Pennsylvania
also contribute. Maps of the
watershed of great areas appear
in the biographies. The milk
she'd" or the directions in which
streams of milk flow 10 the con
Stunning centers, is hardly less
definitely established. Milk-trains
run on passenger schedules. often
in connection with passenger
cars. Their receipts are carried,
on most railroad accounts, as pas
senger earnings. Strong locOmO.
tives are required to move milk
trains, for they must be on time.
A milk-train stalled in a snow
drift means suffering for city chill
Gren. The world wants milk with
great regularity; it is hard TO ex-
plain to babies its absence, or to
make them take substitutes good
naturally.

THREATENS DUElLO REFORM
Partisan Club Would Keep Public Eye
from Affairs of Honor''-Wants
"Glory" Cut Out.

Death to the aspirations of
those would.be duelists who meet
on the field of honor with photo.
graphic, Photographic and cine.
photographic Accomplishments is
threatened by a club recently
formed in Paris. This club has
passed a resolution forbidding its
members TO publish any informa.
ton whatsoever regarding their
affairs of honor" The members
are much disturbed. "Why fight
duels at ALL" they ask each other,
If the public is not to be taken
into the secret"
The brilliant careers which this
illadvised rule will probably de
strOy are too numerous TO men
ton. The ascent of q Partisan
duelist of fame has been as con.
slant heretofore as the descent of
the rake depicted by Hogarth
in his Progress. The first pune
ture of the skin brings a mans
name and picture into the papers.
Next season he exchanges two
bullets without result" and is then
hailed as the "well.knOwn duel.
iSt." \ third encounter. and his
name is admitted into Tout
Paris"-the who's Who" of the
Parisians. After this he gets free
seats at he theaters, dimes out.
and is indicated TO foreigners on
the Bots as one who has proved
his yalOr on many field"
The new club with its new reso-
lutions, it is feared, will change
all this-sic transit gloria mundi.

Poisoning Cutw0rmS.

Further experiments in poisoning
cutworms, which have been working
on wheat and alfalfa. have shown
the following mixture to be superior
to spraying with Paris green, as
formerly recommended:
Thoroughly mix while dry, l
pound of Paris green and 90 pounds
of wheat bran, make moist. but not
sloppy. by adding water in which
a quart of cheap molasses has been
dissolved. Place this mixture in
spoonful piles where the worms are
working. 1t attracts the worms
from the wheat and oats. 1t is also
good grasshopper poison.

In Moderation.

Exercise which is well within
the powers of the body is salutary
for all and probably necessary for
some, but exercise 10y which these
powers are Overstrained is too
often not only the precursor. but
quite Enthusiastically the cause of
serious illness or of bodily or
mental failure. why" inquired
Saladin, "should the weak display
his inferiority in the presence of
the strong?" The question is as
pertinent in our day as it was in
that in which it was uttered
London Hospital.

Singular Standard.

The royal standard of the Per
slams for many centuries was a
blacksmith's apron, and it is said
q local prince, in passing a her
mit's cell on the way to battle one
morning, asked the inmate for his
blessing, or something expressive
TO put on that artless cognizance.
The hermit, possibly a little
touchy, as even saints will be
when disturbed at breakfast time,
threw the chieftain the fiat,
round cake he was eating, which
was duly added to the apron
hence the Persian sun" The lion
was an obvious afterthought.

Osprey Feathers.

Bird News and Notes says that
the total number of packages of
osprey feathers sold in London
last year was 1,G0S. a package
of osprey feathers varies IN
amount from two or three TO
about 100 ounces. but the average
is about 80 ounces to the package.
This gives Il total of 4S.2I0 ounces,
and on the received estimate that
four birds are required TO yield
one ounce of plumes. we have Il
total of 49,. 800 birds killed in the
breeding season to furnish one
years feather sales.

The recent annual report of the
Massachusetts prison commits

Quaint Epitaph.

The following quaint epitaph,
which is to be seen in Crawford
churchyard. Kent, strikes as one
of the very prettiest monuments
to cheerfulness in all England
"Here lieth the body of Peter
Isnel GO years clerk of this PARISH.
He lived respected as pious and
mirthful man. and died on his way
to church TO assist at Il wedding
on the 3lst day of March. 1911,
aged 20 years. The inhabitants
of Crawford have raised this stone
10 his cheerful memory, and as 1
Tribute TO his long and faithful
service"

One of the remarkable things
about Eastern Arkansas and North

1t produces a bale Of cotton per

crops. such as corn, small grains.
grasses. vegetables and fruits
thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields 4 to 6 cuttings, a
ton to a cutting, and brings so to
10 per ton.
In other sections of these states
and in Texas as well, the rolling
hill-land is especially adapted to
stock raising and fruit growing.
Lard is very cheap, So to so acre;

The new White River country

Egg Tests.

A good egg will sink in water.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth
of shell.
A fresh egg has a lime-like SUI
face to its shell.
The boiled eggs which adhere to
to the shell are fresh laid.
Thin shells are caused by lack OF
gravel, ETC., among the hens laying
eggs.
After an egg has been laid a day
or more the shell comes off easily
when boiled.
