DAIRYING A BUSINE83.
Few Methods Adopted-Enccesg Due to Good
Management.
From the little book published by De
LbvbI Separator Company, of New York,
called "Keeping Cowe for a profit," tbe
following is gleaned:
Modern dairy farming is jaet as muob
a business as any other eommeroial or
manofaotaJing undertaking. It affords
the same opportunity. In a practical
sense it is a manufacturing business.
The land, the feed, and the degree of
of onre nsed are tbe dairy farmer's raw
materials. The oow, tbe cream sepera
tor, churn, butter-worber, cans, coolers,
and other utensils are bis tools and
machinery. Tbe sale of the milk, oream,
or batter is the marketing of bis pro
duct. The prosperity of bis business
is largely of bis own making, just as i
that of any other.
Tbe tremendous advanoe in dairying
practice within the past fifteen years has
ho revolutionized dairying methods
nboot every five years during such
period, that it is necessary, in order to
be profitable, that dairying keeps pace
with tdvanced conditions. Dairying
noon the lines of fifteen years Bgo is
tow losing oocupatioB. Dairying upon
th ViHHin nf five and ten years ago now
does well to make ends to meet. Profit
nble dairying of today must be up-to.
date and be kept so. It mnet be so in
natural productiveness of cows, in their
feed, in care end treatment of their pro
ducts in varying stages, in employment
o waste and labor-saving apparatus
and in the sale of prodrjots to best ad-
van tagrs.
Successful dairying is now a question
of management rather than of location
in any part of tbe United States. While
there are, of course, natural land (d
vantages, tbe sabstitnation of forage
crops of various kinds, of the soiling
Byslem, and especially of soilage, for
grass and hay in feediug dairy cuttle,
and the iutroduotion of the oentrifngal
cream seperator, enabling the oream to
be taken from tbe milk while fresh and
sweet, without need of low temperatures,
huve made dairying practical every
where. Tbe foundation of dairying saccess
mnst naturally be laid with tbe selection
and maintainauoB of suitable cows.
The yield of milk should be ample and
at the same time snffloiettly rich in but-tar-fat,
Tbe average United States
yields lees than 4.000 lbs, of mlik a year,
sad only about 130 lbs. of batter to the
cow. The milk yield Bhould be from
5,000 to 6,000 lbs and the bnttor produc
tion never under 300 lbs. Ayrshire, Hoi-
Ftein-Ournaey and Jersey breeds of
o.ittle, in their various grades, are the
ones generally regarded as best for
dairying. Only two per cent of all the
cows iu the UuUed 8tates are pure bred
of thrsa improved breeds, but more than
one bull or more improved blood.
The seleotion of the praotical dairy
cow of today is not so muoh a question
of particular breed as of individual pro
diiotivetifHO. This will be found to vary
in every herd of every breed. In breed
ing it is on established maxim that "The
bull is half the herd." The bull nhonld
always be pure bred and seleoted from a
family from which the cos are of
tablisl.ed dairy experience.
Good oows deserve good oare and will
pay well for it. The dairy farmer should
take the some oare of his oows as the
manufiiutnrer does of bis moat important
machinery and tools. He shonld al
ways, as near as possible, keep them in
perfect oocdition. No profit can 09 ex
peoted from oows carelessly bandied or
neglected. They should be kept in
light, dry, airy buildings with abundant
room, well-arranged ventilation, and
ample provision for admitting sunshine
The ideal stable for milch cons is one
with ground floor, a single story in
height, with no cellar or manure pit be
low, and no loft above. Single stalls
should bo 8 or 4 feet wide, and double
ones from 6 to 8 feet wide, Partitions
should be 4 feet high and 3 or 4 feet
long. The depth of stall from manger
to manure gutter should be 4 to 5-s feet
depending upon the size of the oow. All
work about the animal should be done
with the utmost syutem and regularity
a Bled time tor everything and every
thing at the riht time. Everyone oare
lug for oows should b quiet, even tem
pered, gentle, observuut, and cleauly iu
habit. Milking tho cows is a most im
portant matter. It pays, ami pays well,
to have it done by competent persons
and in a quiok, quiet, cleauly and com
petent mauuer.

A few years ugo the idea of loading a
h!p with 2,500 tons of (lour in 24 hours
by means of two small motors would
hnve been looked upon as nlmurd. This

This was dune when the record of 8,500

conveyor is 40 feet long. It is moved
at will on two wiices in the center. A
two-hore power motor supplies the
power, the current being taken from
the nearest electric wires. The sacks
ure placed on a revolving belt of rubber,
which passes over 12 rollers. The belt
is propelled by a driving wheel st

When Nature curtains up the sun,
And starts her rivulets to run
Tbe out-door area upon,
I cheerfully give up farming.
And hoping that the rain will be
Of that sweet, merciful degree
That fills the herbs with ecstacv,
I seek the kitchen's charming,
Maria through the open pane
Has daught the patter of the rain.
And to the key of Its refrain
She sets her voice a-tuning;
For well she knows the dav imparts
A boon to intermingling hearts,
An out-door labor lull that starts
Old love to re-communing.
My football in the kitchen means
To her renewal of the scenes
From which our little household gleans
Its sunniest Indoor weather,
For such a day brings odds and ends
Or chores wherein our labor blends
And works its sweetest garden lands,
When we two are together.
I chop the mincemeat or prepare
The pumpkins, while some near-by care
Keeps her at hand where I may share
Ths council she is deigning,
And when our duties closer press,
A cheering word or fond caress
Drops gently as the clouds' excess
Upon the door-sill raining.
And so the time moves on apace,
Reflecting sunlight on each face
A luster lending to the race
Of home's serenest hours,
And morutng finds us full of praise
As are the plants that glistening raise
Their heads in tribute to the day's -

HOW FRENCH DEPUTIES VOTE
Need Not De Present and Cam Vote for
Each Other.
Absenteeism in the charriber of dep
uties is becoming a more and more seri
ous evil, and it is hard to say whether
the French system of voting by proxy
does not rather increase it than mini
mize it, says the London News. The
members are in the Palais Bourbon, but
they are in the lobbies, the library, the
committee rooms, the barrooms, drink
ing free glasses of beer. lief ore leaving
the chamber they tell a colleague: "If
anything happens, you may vote in my
stead." In writing for English papers
we may talk of the chamber of depu
ties dividing on a bill. This is but a con
venient interpretation of what takes
place. Deputies do not divide, but vote
in ordinary matters by a show of
hands; and, when the result of this test
is challenged by a ballot vote, each
member has in his desk jacks of blue
and white cards bearing his name. The
latter color means "Aye," and blue "No."
To vote by proxy a member simply puts
his friend's card in the box along with
his own. A member will sometimes
vote of his own accord for a colleague
whom he misses. Sometimes three or
four will each go and vote for the same
person. Among the good stories of
the chamber of deputies it is related
that on several occasions the number
of votes recorded was greater than a
full house. Mistaken votes are a daily
occurrence, owing to a member's opin
ions on a bill being misunderstood by a
colleague. In that case the person who
has been made to vote wrongly drops a
line to the president, and a notification
is sent to the journal offlciel.

"Darling," he etiid, looking down ten
derly into the eyes of his bride, ac
cording to the New York World, "I
have often heard you say that there Is
no true love without self-suxrifice. You
have taught me this grout truth, and

giving up something that hns been very
dear to me for years. You know how
fond I am of smoking. Well, dearest,
I am going to abandon the practice,
even though it be like tearing out my

At this point his emotion appai
ently overcame him, and he looked
down at the sweet face, expecting to
see there appreciation of his noble re
solve, but he saw only a look of blank
disappointment.
"What is the matter? Are you not
glad that I am following your teach
ing?" he asked.
"It is not that," she answered, al
most sobbing. "Never mind what it
is," and she rushed from the room.
The self-sacrificing hero smiled. He
needed no explanation. Hehndlearned
from his wife's nearest friend that she
hnd set her heart on buying him a
half dozen boxes of cignrs covered with
lovely silver paper wrappers, with pic

Friday and Saturday of last week the follow

THIS DOG. IS A SNAKE KILL. EH.
Animal at Kshwsy, N. J., Averages
One Every Day.
Rahwav. N. J., has a snake killer by
the name of Topsy, and she neither
wears skirts nor stars for an "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" combination. She is of
the canine race, a cross between an
Irish bulldog and a setter, bhe is
three years old and belongs to John W.
Brown, of Leesville avenue.
The south branch of the Kahway
river is iniestea wn water pnois,
ranging in length from one to five feet.
They are afraid of man and swim away
at his approach. When cornered they
will fight and bite severely, and they
make a sore and painful wound. JJopsy
seems to have had a penchant for snakes
since puphood. Before breakfast every
morning she starts out and seldom re
turns without a snake, bhe keeps her
master busy disposing of the dead rep
tiles. She usually kills them by catch
ing them by the neck from the rear. As
a rule she gets them along shore when
they are basking in the sun, but at
time, when they take to the water, she
jumps in and kills them while swim
ming.
She went home one day last week
with a wound in her neck and no snake.
Dr. Seth Lockwood, a veterinary sur
geon, dressed the wound, which soon
swelled greatly. A day later she got
satisfaction by bringing in the largest
snake she has ever caught. It was fully
five feet long. It had an old wound on
its neck and it was surmised that it was
the same snake that hnd bitten the dog.
Only once since she hns been in the
snake business has Topsy brought the
wrong goods home. It was last sum
mer, when she captured a large eel.
SECRET OF
INDIANS.
Recalled hy a Lsdv Over
Century
Olil Search for Lead
Just without the precincts of the lit
tle village of Morgantown, O., that nes
tles so snugly among the rugged hills
of Western Pike county, tradition for
75 years past has located a valuable
and prolific lead mine. A pioneer of
the village in the person of an old lady
102 years of age recalled, in the pres
ence of a Cincinnati Enquirer corre
spondent the other day, that. 70 years
ago she, with her parents, often
watched the moving lights of the In
dians from their cabin door as the red
men moved busily about the brow of
the hill intent upon the acquisition of
some valuable find. She remembers
also that an Indian once talked to her
father and gave him to understand,
though he was not at liberty to di
vulge the secret, that somewhere on
the side of the mountattv was a treas
ure inestimable and wonderful.
Just now interest has been revived in
the tradition and the recollections of
the old woman, and a company will
be organized to prospect for the hidden
mine of wealth. The country round
about is fearfully rugged and precip
itous, thousands of acres being cov
ered with the primitive forest, where
is yet to be found an occasional wildcat
and deer.
Snperlor Mortal.
It is not a very great man who car
ries his honors as meekly as the mayor
of Inverness who rebuked an admiring
crowd in the words: "Fr'ens, I'm just
a mortal man like yersels." Sir Wilfrid
Lawson tells the following story: "A
woman was once pursuing her fugitive
cow down a lane, when she called out to
some one in front: 'Man, turn my
cow.' The man took no notice and al
lowed the cow to pnss. When she came
up she said: 'Man, why did vou not
turn my cow?" He replied: 'Woman,
I am not a man; I am a magistrate. '
