The Dairy Industry in the U. S.

According to the last year book
of the Department OF Agriculture.
there are p, 10000 mich cows in
the United States. and these are
worth S7O2. GAS. 10000. The mag
nitude of the industry can perhaps
De best understood when It is con
sidered that these cows produce
yearly about $1,000. 100000 worth
Of dairy products.
There IS no other branch of diver
sified agriculture so important TO
the progress Of a community. The
fertility of the soil Can best be main
aimed by the liberal use Of barnyard
manure and the dairy herd not only
makes this possible. but dairying is
also more remunerstive than other
branches OF farming when properly
carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful
progress since the advent Of the
modern creamery and the consumer
Of butter has not only been benefit
cd by being furnished a more whole
some and palatable article of food,
but the wife in the farm home has
been relieved of the drudgery Incl
dent TO making butter on the farm.
Where formerly the cream was rip
ened and churned into butter under
conditions not conductive to fine
quality in the finished product and
in the majority of cases by unskilled
hands. now the most Of the milk or
cream is delivered to a modern
creamery where conditions are suit
ed to the purpose of making butter,
and the result has been a wonderful
improvement in the quality of our
dairy products. AS the quality has
improved consumption has increased
and the progress Of dairying has
been remarkable during the past de-
cade.
The Perpetuity of the country 5
greatness depends upon increasing
the production Of farm products from
year 10 year. a result which not only
furnishes our people with food but
maintains the prosperity of oul
farming communities. Increase II
production can only come through
improved methods of agriculture anc
soil improvement. When it is con.
sidered that the dairy COW is the
foundation for soil improvement anc
farming prosperity, her importanc,
is best understood, and interest il
her should not be confined to he
owner. She IS an important factor
in the development and prosperity
Of our country.

After two years Of experimenting
with nearly every spring flower OF this
section of the country, Dr. Marion Mac
kenzie of the department of biology at
Temple University has established the
fact that every kind will blossom as
quickly and as beautifully in the dark
ness as in the light, says the Phila-
delphia North American.
The experiments were conducted in
the greenhouses of the botanical gar
den at the University Of Pennsylvania
and extended over two years. The
Towering plants were studied compar-
atively under conditions of high and
low temperature, in the darkness and
in the sunlight.
Among the varieties that fowered in
the darkness we're the violet, all va
rieties of the maple and poplar trees,
the wild azalea, sassafras, the jack-in-
the-pulpit and the skunk cabbage. The
observation that darkness does not re-
tard the blOssoming was so generally
true that Dr. Mackenzie thinks it JUS
tifiable to state as a result of her ex-
perimenta1 work that all flowers of our
climate will bloom under these re-
markably unnatural conditions.
1t was a matter of some surprise to
DR.. Mackenzie that the skunk cabbage,
thought by even the most admiring
naturalists to be a worthless perennial
plant, burst forth into a rich bloom
when brought indoors. The flowers,
too, noted the experimenter, are more
gorgeous than those of many plants
that the housewives of to-day are har-
boring in their homes.

Isabella believed, as did the entire
court circle, that he was enamored OF
one Of thehe royal young princesses.
Ferdinand, the polite, the courtly,
made much of his cousins, and his at

vague hopes Of a crown. The only

modest young Countess Chotek did not,
for a moment, enter their calculations.
Then one day came dlsillusion like
a bolt from the blue. The Archduch-
ess Isabella, in her satins and furbe-
lows, was sweeping up the stairway
of the castle A dimly glittering OBJ
iect at her feet caught her eye. She
picked 1t up. It was the brooch Of

mischievous imp must have whispered
into Isabellas ear. Idly curious, she
opened the locket a portrait Of

All, ha! She had stumbled upon the
Countess Chotek's secret. So that sly

The picture was a miniature Of the
Archduke Ferdinand.

Young Ferdinand and the Countess

almost privately, with only three Of
the Hapsburgs present. Even the
brothers of the Archduke, Carl and
Otto, did not appear at Che wedding,

For several years nothing disturbed
the Archduke's married life. The
Countess never appeared in public with
him, the carriage she used lacked the
golden spokes of the wheels Of impe-
rial equipages, and whenever the Arch
duke attended court festivities the wife
stayed at home.

more than a century contained the Inn

it was understood that the future EN-

husband succeeded to the throne. The

Secret Means of Communication,
Mesmerism and Hypnotism

In India, central Asia, Arabia, as
well as in the northern and central
Africa, the natives have from time i'm
memorial possessed some mysterious
method of transmitting news, within
the space of an hour or two, over dis
tances of many thousands of miles.
Study of the subject in the orient have
convinced Investigators that the means
employed is not electricity, such as we
understand it. For telegraphy when
we first introduced it into the orient
was regarded by the latter as a wholly
new and foreign cOntrivance. But that
some of the people of Asia and Of the
dark continent have mastered one Of
Lord Salisbury's riddles of nature to
the extent of successfully applying
their discovery to the quick transmits
sion of news is an established fact.
When Lord Mayor, the yiceroy of In
dia, was murdered in the Andaman
islands, the news of his death, within
an hour after the perpetration Of the
deed, was communicated to one Of the
principal English officials at Simla by
an old and trusted servant, who had
been long in his employ, although the
distance between the Andaman islands
and Simla is something over 1000
miles. The telegraphic announcement
Of the assassination of the governor

after a months debate, the Buda-Pesth
Parliament formally acknowledged
Frank Ferdinand as the heir apparent
to the crown of ST. Stephen and recog-
nized the right Of his wife to share
with him the Hungarian throne.
II is only since the birth Of her son,
Macmillan, that the Princess has
come from the seclusion in which she
lived for a few years after her mar
riage. Now she deems It necessary,
II she would win her point, to place
herself as prominently as good taste
will permit her before the public. She
is not finding it necessary to concll-
late Hungary, as her position there Is
unquestioned, the Hungarians having
declared that they ignore the meaning
of a morganatic wife There the Kings
wife will be Queen, and, residing in
the castle of Buda, she will receive the
nobility with her husband.
The Princess, now past 40, is a far
more beautiful woman than she was At
the time of her marriage, when she
held no claim to beauty. From thin,
pale girl she has blossomed out into a
well-rounded, attractive woman, who
will command her rightful share of at
tention, and who seems in a fair way
to get it. She is an ideal mother, and
spends a great deal Of time and
thought on the upbringing Of her chill
dren. Her little daughter, Sophie, is
beauty, and the boys are veritable
Kings in embryo.
Certain it is that the old Emperor is
rapidly nearing the great goal. That
the Princess has a hard fight ahead Of
her yet is also certain. But with the
future of the little Macmillan at
heart, with the sympathy of the Hun
garians to serve as a sort of anchor
to her hopes, and with an unlimited
amount Of perseverance, Princess So
Dhie of Hohenberg stands a good
chance of winning her fight and achiev-
ing a throne for herself and her de-
scendants.
