Ether a Festive Drink in Russia.
From the Family Doctor. =

From the Family Doctor.
The habit Of ether drinking is extremely
prevalent in some parts of Russia, as Of
East Prussia. and all the efforts Of the
authorities to combat the evil have hith-
erto been almost fruitless.
An idea of the extent to which the habit
prevails may be gathered from reports
given In the Russian newspapers Of re-
cent accident which occurred at q. place
called Trossno. Ether is drunk by farm
ers on festive occasions, when it appears
to be consumed In pailfuls. A farmer cell
brating his sons wedding In the fullness
of his hospitality got in two pals Of ether.
During the process of decanting the ether
into bottles a violent explosion took place.
by which six children were killed and one
adult was dangerously and fourteen others
were more or less severely injured.

Fight Against Saloons.

The Anti-Salpon League of Maryland is
preparing to wage an active fight before
the legislature against the saloons. Mr..
w. II. Anderson, superintendent Of the
Anti-Saloon League. said to The Star cor
respondent today: I'VE are now having
prepared by one of the leading lawyers Of
Baltimore a bill that will, we think. meet
the situation. It will be framed along the
lines of the Illinois law. where the people
take up the local-option question as their
needs or ability demands. If 25 per cent
of the people in any county ask for SUBJ
mission OF the question they have it. If
this area is too large to manage the ques-
ton is submitted by districts, 25 per cent
of the people of the district asking for the
right to pass on the question. No valid
argument can be raised against local op-
ton as Il principle. In Illinois the saloon
people ignored the option principle and
abused us because we did not provide for
the taking of the sense OF the people in
some other way than the one agreed upon.
Possibly some of the friends of local op-
ton would have been better pleased II
another plan had been provided. Still the
bill met with the approval of an over
whelming majority of the local-option adj
vocates. and this is the plan we will try in
Maryland"
The liquor interests are much concerned
over the situation, and 1t Is generally con-
ceded that legislation looking to a higher
license fee, possibly 1000 year, will be
passed by the legislature. J. NJ. D.

The Michigan experiment station has
begun Il very important line OF work
and one which deserves wide attention.
In the fall OF 1904 IL purchased twenty
grade Shorthorn cows. None OF the an.
finals contain a large percentage OF
Shorthorn blood, yet they have enough
to give the evenness and uniformity
sought In a foundation herd. The first
years report of this grade herd says:
I'm maintaining a grade dairy herd
at this institution two chief ends are
sought-first and foremost, TO show OBJ
jectively how the common dairy stocks
of this state can be improved as 10
quantity and quality of milk produc
ton by rational and continued sys-
tenn of up grading, and. second, to show
the effect OF careful feeding and man
agement upon average. common or
even inferior dairy animals. While the
stocking of farms with pure bred dairy
animals is desirable and strongly adj
vised, Ii Is generally recognized that
the great mass OF improvement among
dairy cattle must come from intelli-
gent up grading. In selecting the foun-
dation stock for n grade dairy herd at
tention was given first to the health
and general physical characteristics OF
each individual selected.
For breeding purposes the herd is
divided into four groups or subherds
of five animals each. One OF these
groups is TO be bred continuously TO
Jersey bulls and the female progeny
bred In the same line. another group to
be bred continuously to Holstein bulls
and the female progeny in the same
line The third group is to be bred In
the same way to Guernsey bulls and
the fourth TO Shorthorn bulls"
The average results of the herd are
as follows: Milk, 6.25o pounds: butter,
29S pounds; cost of feed, $33.07; value
of products. S6965 and profit of over
feed, $365S.
The poorest COW gave In the year
1.205 pounds of milk, forty-eight
pounds of butter and was kept at loss
of S9.Ss.
The most profitable COW gave s,113
pounds of milk, 400 pounds of butter
md returned net profit over feed
consumed OF SGO.61.
Despite the logic of these facts,
which are different in no way from
hundreds OF other instances where rec
ords have been kept, how few. very
few, farmers and breeders Of pure bred
cattle think that II pays to test, says
Hoard's Dairyman. What can a man
do that will pay better?
