DAIRYING AS A PART OF THE
FARM WORK.
A fow good cows rifrlltly managed
and properly cared for can be made
folly as profitable as any other stock
on the farm. Bat they mnst be good
cows and given good caro. No care,
feeding or forcing can make a cow
that naturally gives thin, poor milk,
give rich, milk, whilo on the other
hand, the quality and quantity of a
good milker may bo considerably
lowered by exposnre and want of
good foed.The aim in tho manage
ment should be not only to develope
the flow of milk, bat the flow
should be limited by its quality.
Feeding water into a cow's milk
makes no gain in bnttor and cheeso.
In the dairy the value of the milk
mast be determined by what it will
make in butter and cheese.
To realizo the most profit the
dairyman mnst be a close observer
and be willing to look after small
things. In many cases a failuro to
look after and caro for one or more
of the smaller things or details is
often the cause of failing to get the
best results. One advantage with
cows is that if they are given good
treatment they are rarely sick. Give
her plenty of good, wholesome food
and a comfortable shelter, and if she
is naturally a good milch cow she
will go on giving good milk in profi
table quantities.
Another advantage is that if the
proper care is'taken to manage the
milk and cream eo that a good qual
ity of product is secured, it is al
ways marketable at a fair price. The
market is seldom oyerstocked with
really good batter, aud it costs no
more work to manufacture good bat
ter than poor, so that, to a very con
siderable extent, the difference in
price is the difference in profits
Becauso the butter you make
brings the sauie price as your neigh
bor's at the conntry stores, vbere lit
tle or no discrimination is made as
regards quality, is no reason why
you should make poor butter, as the
best grades are not sola in this way
or at the same prices. The quality
roast be above the average and then
pricesjrealized can b9 considerably
above the average. Making and sell
ing butter at 10 or 15 cents a pound
in summor and from 15 to 20 cents in
winter does not pay, especially when,
with a little care in making a better
quality, twice these prices mirht be
obtained. In the dairy, as in other
work on tho farm, the plau that will
givo tho best results at the lowest
cost is the one to be followed, no
matter what may bo individual pref
erences. Tho plan of feeding and
caring for cows, of ttraining and set- i
ting the milk, of skimming and man
aging tho cream, tho churning, work
ing, salting and packing the butter
should be done in the way that will
secure the best qnality of product
ready for tho market most economi
cally; and if in every detail this is
followed there is no question that
farm dairying can be made profitable.
Now, while upon this subject of
dairying, ono pertinent question
might bo asked: Why not some enter
prising person or persons establish a
creamery at or near Roseburg? Once
a creamery pat in operation, and the
farmers contigions to it supplying it
regularly with milk and cream, it
seems would be a good enterpriso
and keep at home many a dollar now
sent abroad.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
In times of profound peace tho
democratic party has resorted to
war tares and war measures, advo
cated by tho republicans only as a
means of saving and preserving tho
life of the nation. It proposes to let
Europe do the" work, to supply cfor
markets, to draw the pay, to reap
tho harvest; while American industry
is paralyzed and American labor is
unemployed. It has proposed to tax
brains, enterprise and industry.
Tho man who thinks aud works and
earns an incomo of 4,000 is to bo
taxod for it, Tho man who profors to
let his brains and his body rest need
pay no tax. This is n warning that
men mnst not bo too industrious, too
enterprising or to saving. "The in
come tax opens wide the door for
fraud and perjury and would encour
age lying." That is what the Demo
cratic party said twenty-livo years
ago. Lot the incomo tax law to re
pealed, do away with tho so called
Wilson bill, givo us sullicient protec
tion to our home industries, aud then
wo will seo tho return of prosperity.

MORE TALK ABOUT MONEY.
And Also a Few Things of More
Value Than Money.
To the Editor : A few years ago pno
I'ennia Kearney at San Francisco gained
much notoriety, and for soma time a very
good living by abusing certain people.
One of his pet phrases was "lechery."
Just what he meant by it he never ex
plained. Possibly he did not know its
accepted meaning himself, but it was a
good catch word all the same. I have
sometimes wondered if we really under
stood what we are talking about when we
shout "free silver" and count as an
enemy the one who says, "go slow here."
Aud I repeat, there is danger that a
change from maintaining onr money as at
present, according the declared republi
can national platform, at fall parity,
when issued as snob by the government.
It may result to us, especially the
worker, and that includes the. farmer,
much like smashing the robber tariff,
which we did a year or two ago. I am
not opposed to the agitation and discus
sion of free and unlimited use of silver
as money am realy in fayor of it. But
I cannot see how the mere changing of
silver from its bullion shape into coin
shape is going to materially help me,
who does not have either; and how I am
to get bullion or coin, unless I have
something to give in exchange for it.
Judging from tho tone of moat of the
articles one reads about "finance" in the
papers lately, the above fact seems to be
not considered by them at all.
The writer is one who likes potatoes,
and considers that a bushel of a good
quality is of morn value, really, than a
bushel of money. He knows he can al
ways raise potatoes when he cannot al
ways rain8 silver or money. It looks
like some of .our people think a much
better way will be for the government to
issue them a lot of money at a low rate
of interest and then they can buy their
potatoes instead of tilling the ground and
getting a backache in picking and care-
mg for them. I am sorely tempted to
join with them in the demand when
they say only vote our ticket and the
thing is done. But then, my common
sense, somehow, tells mo that if all
should stop work and quit raising pota
toes, intending to buy them, with other
good things, when we get our "cheap"
money, potatoes may actually 'be more
valuable than this money. So to be
safe I still will keep on raising potatoes,
and other things beside, and give thanks
that I live in a country where I can
do so if I try.
I, with many others, am possessed
with one of those terrible mortgages, and
X suspect if J. be able to meet tbo interest
due on it I will have to get it out of po
tatoes or such truck. It will not come to
me by any free silver act, or tho issuing
of money by the government.
I do not need to complain because I
owe this money, either. I got the money
once, and it is not the lender's fault if I
did not invest it so as to bring good re
turns at once. I will sav here that the
people of Oregon, those who came here
forty years or so ago ought to be the
wealthiest class of people in the United
States to day. Getting the choicest
lands in a climate that has given never-
failing crops of superior quality, and the
very best prices were paid them for
everything they sold.
Surely we are the last people in the
world that should now be publishing
that we have not money enough to do
business with. If all this money which
we got all those years has cone to make
the rich richer, whose fault it it? I
know. llr. Editor, that this style of writ
ing is not likely to be as popular as abus
ing the rich man, or even the small capi
talist who by thrift has saved a few dol
lars.
I think we are in a position to "work
out our own salvation," on quite different
lines, and, indeed, if we ever get out, it
will not be by borrowing money. Z.

THE QUEEN BEE.
She Is the Foundation, the XJfo and Son!
of a HIto Colony.
A qneen bee is essential to the colony.
Sho i3 readily picked out, but by a close
observer by her great length. She lives
generally for about five years, but her
term of lifo varies in different individ
uals from two to five or six and in rare
instances even to seven years. A qneen
is fed -with tho daintiest and best all
through her embryo stage, and -when
hatched comes out a full queen. If any
other qneen is hatched and sometimes
ono or two moro are, pretty soon after
tho rightful ruler assails tho rival claim
ant in a life and death battle, the
"stinger" being plied vigorously like a
death dealing sword by both contestants,
while the hivo looks on in mute interest
to seo the issue of tho battle. TH3 is al
most decided in favor of the assailant.
She is then the undisputed qneen and
is so regarded. Yet tho great company
of "workers" are in some senses the real
governors, and tho hive is a great social
democracy. If by any mischance the
queen is killed, then the "workers"
who are undeveloped females go to
work to produce a new one. The egg
they select for the trial is attended to
with the same care, and tho embryo bee
is fed with tho same selected food, as in
the case of the egg that bad produced
the legitimate queen. It makes a queen,
and she serves in that capacity.
Except in swarming time, the qneen
never leaves tho hive, only on tho one
occasion of her bridal tons. Selecting
some one for her husband, she invites
him out to go with her and their con
nubial relations are carried on entirely
while on the wing in the air like the
chimney swallow's. The bridegroom
never returns. Ho drops dead, and the
queen returns from her one and only
aerial excursion a fully fecundated bee,
ready to begin her great life work of
egg laying. Some days she will lay as
many as 2,000 eggs; in all, about 20,000
eggs.
In "swarming" a large part' of the
whole crowd goes out They leave be
hind the remains of the old colony,
which had grown too numerous, thus
compelling tho "swarming" or seeking
a new home by a great part of the hive.
The queen goes with the swarm ers, and
here they follow closely. If she alights
on a branch or other place, they all set
tle there, clinging closely together in a
great mass, by much the same method
as a mass of burdock burs will stick: to
gether, and tho farmer's wife and "all
hands" used to bang away on tin pans
to govern the movements of the swarm
by fright if possible.
So close does tho swarm follow the
qneen that when once in flying over a
lake the qneen became weary and drop
ped into tho water overy bee went down
with her to death by drowning. New

BRUSSELS AND TAPESTRY.
The Difference Between These Two Kinds
of Carpets Explained.
By placing a bmssels and tapestry
carpet side by side a clearness and
sharpness are noticed about tho bmssels
carpet which are absent from tho tapes
try. In the latter there is a mistiness
about the colors, and tho pattern lacks
that sharpness and delicacy which char
acterize the former. This is dne to tho
process of manufacture. A bmssels is a
yam dyed, and a tapestry may be de
scribed as a printed fabric, but tho print
ing is done upon the yam before the
process of weaving.
Tho whole method of manufacture is
most ingenious. In the making of a five
frame bmssels no fewer than 1,280 ends
of face yams are required for the weav
ing of one piece of standard quality,
each frame consisting of 256 bobbins;
and 256 ends only can como to the face
at each pick of the pattern. Therefore
1,021 ends of yam are hidden in the
body of the fabric There are many
qualities of tapestry, but in the produc
tion of tho standard quality only 216
ends of face yam are required, instead
of 1,280, which shows at once that the
bmssels carpet has the great advantage
of being thicker, softer and altogether a
more durable cloth apart from other ad
vantages which it possesses. Thero is a
limitation in the number of colors used
in a bmssels. In tapestry there is no
limit. In the bmssels the whole of the
colors used show a mora or less, striped
appearance at tho back of the fabric.
In a tapestry they do not show at the
back at all. This fact is mado use of by
householders in purchasing carpets, this
being about tho only way the average,
person can tell tho difference between
them. In order to pass off tapestry as
bmssels some ingenious makers have
resorted to the striping in a regular
manner of the backs of tho former. The
stripy effect in the latter is broken and
irregular. A casual observation of tha
clearly defined character of a bmssels
pattern should enablo a buyer to distin
guish between tho two fabrics. Fur

Shakespeare and Bacon.
A famous historian well known per
sonally in Boston told tho following
Etory when ho was asked what he
thought of the Shakespeare-Bacon con
troversy: "I was onco librarian in a
Email town, and it was my custom to
cataloguo books on tho real meaning of
Daniel, astrology, modem spiritualism,
etc., under tho general head 'Insane
Literature.' When any volumo written
in support of the Baconian theory ap
peared, I catalogued it under tho sama.
head." Boston Journal.
Warned In Time,
"William, " said Mrs. Youcgwife from
tho head of tho stairs tq her husband,
who had como homo at an early hour in
tho morning, "thero is some of my home
made cake in tho pantry, a new kind
that I mado today. I put it where yon
can easily find it."
"All right, dear," responded Mr.
Ycungwife. "How considerate of you I I
might havo eaten some of it without
thinking." And the grateful husband
