 If there is some truth in the traditional criticism that Englishmen take their plSasures seriously, they have at any rate a distinct and happy gift of getting . good deal of pleasure out of their most serious preoocupations. Self-government may be claimed without undue arrogance to be a natural growth in English soil; and for the very reason that 1t springs spontaneously and vigorously, its exercise is not incompatible with a large amount of hearty recreation. Though the party Ean,e'' is an expression with a slightly deprecatory significance, English games and the English party system have none the less a good deal in common on their better side; and the analogy fs never more apparent than at the time of a gen eral election. Despite the gradual growth of more complex party relationships, the whole tradition of English politics is still to reduce the tangle of disputed questions to a direct struggle between two oppos- ing sides; and of all the games which are based on the same fundamental Idea none shows so curious an analogy to the alternations of office and opposition-of being ''in'' and 'tout'-as the national game of cricket. Politics are not an end in themselves. any more than games are; both alike. in their different ways and degrees are means to healthy national life. It is familiar reproach against contemporary Englishmen of all classes that the attention which ought to be de- voted to more serious affairs Is apt to be absorbed by games. While we must rec
 ogntze an element of truth in this charge, we may at least detect a certain compen- sation in the way In which the keenest political partisanship is usually tempered and sweetened by the good humor and eense of fairness which games foster. Among the crowd which night after night have been waiting for the publication of the election results in the streets of Lon

don and other great towns there has been a complete absence of serious disorder. while any but the most sood-humored expressions of political hostility have been rare. If riots on the football field are too common, 1t is at least satisfactory that they are absent from a fiercely con tested general election.
 The tendency of the nation to combine recreation with It's electioneering finds many methods of expression, almost pe- culiar to such times Although the most riotous manifestations of party spirit at election time have pasesd away, many of the traditions of the musings survive in milder form; and although the conclu- sion of the polling for each constituency on a single day now helps to prevent pub lie feeling from getting worked up to a dangerously violent pitch, the prompti- tude with which the results in other con stituencies are now known to almost ev- cry elector in the country provides much the same proiongation of the interest In the struggle and introduces that possi. bility of vicissitude which gives it its keener fascination. Adult electors be- come infected with the same kind of en- thusiasm for a side, even more than for a cause, which Is general among their juniors at the time of the university boat race, or O. some popular 1ootDall cup tie in the north. They express 1t by the same display of party colors, and they often cling to their faith with the same admirable if unreasoning loyalty The time is by no means yet at hand when the convictions of every elector can be immediately changed by those appeals to his material interests which preponderate upon the hoardings. When once his loy- alty is honestly bestowed. he is apt to maintain 1t with the same admiring con- stancy with which his youthful son be- lieves in the supreme excellence of his school football team, or holds, as one or

While the whole country is absorbed in the high cost of living and the causes thereof, senators point with pride to the fact that the prices of eatables in the Senate restaurant are at a standstill and do not show the effect of increased prices. The prices listed on the bill of fare have not changed for 20 years. A piece of pie and a glass of milk cost just the same as they did 20 years ago.

The Dairy Industry Of the United
States.

According to the last year book If
the Department Of Agriculture there
are 81 .720, 900 mich COWS in the United
States, and these are worth 1902 ,945,-
oe0.0o. The magnitude of the in
dustry can perhaps be best under
stood when It is considered that these
cows produce yearly about 81 600, Oo0,-
0O0.cO worth of dairy products.
There is no other branch ID diver'si-
fled agriculture so important TO the
progress of a community. The feri-
lily of the soil can best be maintain-
ed by the liberal use of barnyard
manure and the dairy herd not on
" make this possible, but dadrying
Is also more remunerative than Other
branches of farming when properly
carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful pro
gress since the advent of the modern
creamery and the consumer Of butter
has not only been benefitted by be-
ing furnished a more wholesome and
palatable article of food, but the
wife on the farm home has been re-
lleved of sthe drudgery incident to
making butter on the farm. where
formerly the cream was ripened and
churned INFO butter under conditions
not conductive TO fine quality in the
finished product and On the majority
of cases by unskilled hands, now the
mos. of the milk or cream DIS deliver
ed TO a modern creamery where con-
ditions are suited ITO the purpose of
making butter, and the result has
been a wonderful Improvement in the
qualify of our dairy products. Asthe
quality has improved consumption has
increased and the progress of dairy
mo has been remarkable during the
past decade.
The perpeilutty of she corntry's great
ness depends upon increasing the pro-
duction of farm products from year to
year, result which net only furnish

the prosperity Of our farming commu-
