The Value of Cows.

There was a lively controversy
in the Senate the other day as
to how much cows We're worth
All the authorities were called in
to settle the problem. Senator
Stone read from document that
in the western border states Of
Montana Idaho, and Washington,
cows ranged from $4l.S0 to $4,000
Senator Hepburn stated that he
thought that cows readily COM
mand, | might safely say, double
that and then he supplemented
his remarks by saying that n
my state a COW that is considered
worth feeding and keeping is val
ued at $75. and upward, = Sena-
tor Bacon Of Georgia said e'coWs
range from $40. down to $40.
The distinguished Mr.. Bailey Of
Texas thought that the register
ed Jersey cows are worth more,
and taking the highest as well
as the lowest of them, would
perhaps average 800" How
ever, he thought that the averag
dairy cow of the country will
not command one-half that much,
And then Mr.. MARITIME of New
Jersey boosted of his great state
and it's Jersey cows and said, Il
have neighbors who have paid as
high as $500 for cow = Still
he did not believe that the boz
WINE creatures from the rest Of
THE country would average up to
more than $45 or $50. Mr.. War
|ren finally succeeded in drawing
attention from the great Alneri-
can producer Of tactical fluid to
the sheep of Wyoming, and he
got in few good boosts for t
plain mutton and sheep as well
aus the wool on their bodies. A
few Senators tried to join him in
telling what they knew Of these
animals, but they had to give it
up as the Wyoming man evident
ly had corner on knowledge of
this class.

ting down msttings in the place Of heavy
carpets. An old friend Of mine, land
one of the best of hOusekeepers and

mating sewed together with long
stitch on the wrong side, and tackled only
around the sides as carpet is. 1t is far
easier, wears better, and Is much more
satisfactory In every way, as many of US
younger housekeepers have found.
1t is very easily laid or taken up, dis
pensing with mans help entirely.
which often means so much, as 1t Is hard
to obtain help in the country.
