OCEANS OF MILK.
. "There are $2,000,500,000 in
vested in the dairying business in
this county." said a citizen with a
predilection of statistics to a Phila
delphia Press man. "The amount
is almost double the money invest
ed5 ft Banking and commercial
industries. It is estimated that it
requires 15,000,000 cows to supply
tie demand for milk and its pro-
ducts in the United States. To
teed these cows 60,000,000 acres
of land are under cultivation.
The agricultural, dairy machinery
and implements in -tise are worth
over $200,000,000. The men em
ployed in business number 750,000
and the horses over 1,000,000. The
cows and horses consume annually
80,000,000 tons of hay, 90,000,000
bushels of corn-meal, about the
same amount of oat-meal, 575,
000,000 bushels of oats, 2,000,000
bushels ot bran, and 30,000,000
Husheit, of corn, to say nothing of
the brewery grains sprous, and
other questionable feed of various
kinds that are used to a great ex
tent.. It costs $150,000,000 to feed
tHese'cows and horses. The aver
age -price paid to the laborer
. necessary in the dairy business
.is probabiy $20 a month, amount
ing to $180,000,00 a year.
i'The average cow yields about
450 gallons of milk a year, which
gives a product ol 0,750,000,000
gallons. Twelve cents a gallon
is a fair price to estimate the
value of this milk, a total return
. to the dairy farmer of $810,000,-
.. 000 if he sold all his milk as milk.
But 50 per cent of the milk is
. made into cheese and butter. It
takes 29 pounds of milk to make
one pound of butter, and about 10
pounds to make one of cheese.
There is the same amout of nutri
tion in 8 pounds of milk that is
hi one pound of beef. A tat steer
furnishes 59 per cent of boneless
beef, but it would require about
24,000,000 steers weight 1,500
pounds each to produce the same
amount- nutrition as the annual
milk product does.
THE NEXT SPEAKER.
The piospects of a special ses
sion of congress in October have
stimulated the various candidates
for-the speakership of the Fifty-first
congress, and already an active
campaign has been begun by each.
The leading candidates for office
are William McKinley, of Ohio;
Joseph G. Cannon,, of Illinois;
Julius Burrows, of Michigan; and
Thomas Reed, . of Maine. With
the exception of Reed, it is said,
all these candidates have the en
dorsement and support of the dele
. gations of their respective states.
McKinley expects also the Indiana
delegation and some from " the
South. Burrows hopes to secure
the endorsement of the congress
men from the Northwest. Can
non claimes to possess the influ
ence of the administration, which
will be ' exerted in his behalf.
Reeed's chances for the place are
apparently very poor. He is re
cognized as one of the most bril
liant men on the floor of the house,
but there seems to be a general
desire, even among the Maine
delegation, to keep him there,
where he can l'Mmore value
than in the speaks, chair. He
has, however, a number of friends
m the New England states who
will do all in their power to grati
fy his ambition. "
Butterworth, ol Ohio, is said to
be the only dark horse in the race
Bola&. He hopes in case McKin
ley fails, to seoure votes enough to
place him in the- chair. ;

THE SIOUX RESERVATION.
United States commissioners
have for some time past been ne
gotiating with the Sioux Indians in
Dakota for the purchase of a part
ol their lands, amounting to about
11,000,000 acres, which it is pro
posed to throw open to settlement.
In order to secure this laiid it is
necessary to have the signatures
of 4000 indian men to the deed,
and the present prospects are very
unfavorable towards securing the
requisite number, many of the In
dians opposing the disposition" of
the lands.
Much has been said about the
natural wealth of this particular
part of the Indian reservation,
and some have characterized it as
'the garden spot of Dokota." A
Colorado paper is doubtful if the
new country is as desirable as
these glowing pictures make it ap
pear. It resembles in .. some re
spects that part of Nebraska which
lies immediately south of it, which
is unproductiveenough. How
ever,, it is probably not so dry, for
it is nearer the Missouri river, and
the aridity of the western country
seems to depend to some extent
upon the distance from that river.
Undoubtedly there are some de
sirable locations, and in. case the
is opened to settlement, there will
be a great scramble for them. It
is possible that these supposed bar
ren spots could, by cultivation and
proper attention, be made produc
tive, and there will be found many
people who will be willing to make
the trial. The opening of the
country would result in good for
south Dakota by increasing her
population and weallh. Telegram.

""' A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR. '
,Wbo is H. II. Warner, of Rochester,
N. Y., whose Safe Remedies, especially
Warner's Safe Cure, have attained such
success and celebri y at home and
abroad?"
The question is inspired as much by
affection a? curiosity, since through hii
instrumentality hundreds of thousands,
in both hemispheres, have been restored
to health and happiness.
Hon. H. H. Warner, then, is a leading
and honored resident of Rochester, net
only, but a prominent and influential
citizen of the United State3. On several
occasions chosen by bis party as a Na
tional delegate to nominate a President
of the Republic, he has been a member
of the Republican State Committee and
of its Executive Committee. He is a
member of the American Institution for
the Advancement of Science ; President
of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce ;
a successful and upright business man.
He has given away fortunes in charities.
The celebrated- and costly Warner
Observatory of Rochester was conceived,
endowed, and is maintained 1?y him.
His munificent prizes for the discovery
of comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the South,
the Ohio - floods, the fire disasters of
Rochester and other cities awakened his
profoundesj sympathies and in each in
stance his check for from $509 to $5,000
swelled the several relief funds. Where
other wealthy men give tens and hun
dreds, he gives hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and magnifi
cent as his enterprises and public spirit
are boundless. .
The world has need of more such men.
An incident led him into the manufact
ure of medicine. Seized some twelve
years ago with what the ablest physicians
termed fatal kidnev disease, he was
miraculously restored to health by what
is now known as Warner's Safe Cure.
At once he resolved to make known the
merits of so potent a remedy, and the
consequence is that to-day he has im
mense laboratories and warehouses in
the United States, Canada, England,
Germany, Austria, Australia and Bur
mah. Sales of his Safe Remedies are
enormous, and their power over disease
simply marvelous.
The merit of a production is in exact
keeping with the character of its pro
ducer. An honest and reliable man him
self, Mr. Warner makes honest and
reliable medicines a fact abundantly at
tested by their phenomenal efficacy and
popularity.
