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. LOADING BY tLtCTRICITY. Newly I)UOTcr'd Power Much l'etl In If uiMllliit; ( tiruum. 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 was done the other day in Taconin, snya an exchange. Two thousand tons of cargo have frequently been loaded or unloaded In a day by sti'itm power, but the imjKirtant factor in the record breaking achievement at Tncoina wns that the conveyor was worked by elec tricity. With the apparatus which has been designed for the 'purpose Hour and grain enn lie loaded at nay stage of the tide and independent!)- of the weather. If it should rain a canvas is quickly (spread from the door i f the warehouse to the Khip'K hatch. With thesyvtcmof feding orilliuirily used IS men urc re quired to !o the work of one eleetrie 'iiev(i! with which the bags are de livered into the ship's hold ut the rate of I'.MIO to 2,700 pounds a minute, or i5 "ons an hour. When extra speed is ticMred two conveyors are employed This was dune when the record of 8,500 tons in 21 hours wns made. The electric 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 inched to the siiW of the apparatus. The rolls are pluced close together and the belt revolves nt sufficient speed to eitr ry oil the weight In flour or grain that ran be pliiced upon it. The conveyor works as wi ll When placed nt an angle ! pi 45 degree as w hen on A levgj. a rainy day. 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 - Rejuvenating showers. I to I 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. HIS SACRIFICE.

"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 new I am going to prove my lovei by 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 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 tures In the middle. And this is what pave birth to his noble resolution. lint l ittle lUood shed.

Friday and Saturday of last week the follow ing business was transacted in the La Grande land office: Ten homestead entries, two yearly desert land proofs, one desert land entry, the final entry of the Wild Cat fc Cougar quartz claim, public sales of an isolated tract of 100 acres at $1.25 per acre. Rev. A. J. Montgomery, president of the Oregon Christian Endeavor Union, has for warded petitions containing 5000 names, re monstrating against the seating of Representative-elect Roberts, of Utah. The names were secured by Christian Endeavor workers and church people from various sections of the state. Lightship No. 50 which lies outside the mouth of the Columbia river went adrift several days ago and on Wednesday night went ashore one mile north of the mouth of the river.

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.
