Feeding for Butter.
The question whether or not the quality
of milk is influenced by the food fed the
cows, has. again been renewed oy some
dairymen, or rather milk peddlere, who
claim that they are not at ell responsible
for the poor quality of tnilk,aa it is in exactly
the same condition as when taken from the
cow. If a COW gives poor, watery milk, as
is often oleimed, she should be turned over
to tin) butcher at the eerlieet moznent
possible, and the excuse should not be a
valid one nor aceepted hy authorities who
look after the milk supply of cities. Upon
the question of the food supply,Prof, Free
Thronger commits himself as follows : "The
results of numerous experiments) accurate-
ly carried ounseem to lead to the conclusion
that the richness or poorness of milk is ei
characteristic of the individual, and has
nothing whatever to do with the food, and
that, however you feed a cow, provided, of
course,all the rations are liberal in quantity
and healthy, the usual result is uniformity
of quality. If a cow naturally gives a milk
that is of poor quality aud low in butter-
fat, the hese and most abundant feeding in
the world willnot improve its composition.'
A well-known writer antagonizes this
statement. and says: "I have looked with
curiosity and interest for the evidence in
support of this opinion, because it seemed
to upset all my preconceived notions as to
.the effects of food on milk, and it must
have come as a shock to those who fondly
believed they were 'feeding for butter,' as
the saying goes. We have often been
given formulas fer feeding stock—rations
for butter, for milx, for meat—and it has
seemed one of the fundamental principles
of the dairyman's creed that he could get
out of a cow what he put into her, or in
other words, that he would find in the pail
what he laid out in extra food for the
cow." Failing any further note on the
aubjeot, I have looked up the question for
myself, and, as a result, am surprised at
the confusion that appears to exiat on the
point. From time to time we hear of cows
that give milk already watered, i. e.,
below the very low, standard of fat and
solids that the analyst has decided milk
ought to contain to warrant its being pure.
In the police courts, when people have
been summoned for selling milk deprived
of a proportion of its cream, or containing
a percentage of added water, it has been
pleaded that the milk was the genuine
product of the cow and sold just as she
yielded. up to the milker. In fact, this is
a oommon plea, Sometimes it does not
work, but at others the cow has been
accepted as a final court of appeal, and
milk has been drawn, analyzed, and found
to be of much the same poor quality as
that forming the subject of the charge.
Generally this poor quality is attributed
to the keep. In 1893 several cases of this
kind occurred. They were put down to
the drought, to the shortness of water, or
to the scantiness of succulence in the her-
bage. These are points that ane would
expect to influence quantity rather than
quality; erpecially when we find that in
some dairies, where milk is produced es-
pecially for sale as milk, large quantities
of brewer's grain and similar succulent
materials are deliberately given with a view
to increasing the quantity of the yield.
Milk being milk if it comes up to the low
standard fixed, quality is of no particular
importance. 'Similarly it has been proposed
to give dairy cows large quantities of salt
to make them thiraty and cause them to
drink freely, the idea being to water the
milk through the cow so as to avoid
pouring into the bucket. According to
Dr. Voeleker, feeding does influence
quality. He would not have sold as milk
any product of the cow becalm it came
straight from her udder, bue says that it
should be the normal healthy secretion
of the mammary glands of a properly..
fed cow. He would not accept "drawn
from the cow" as a test of purity, and
says, if we have a man feeding COWS on
nothing but straw and roots, giving no
cake, no meal, etc,, we shall get milk that,
in his opinion, is of a quality that should
not be supplied to the public. This looks
as though Dr. Voelcker believed that feed.
ing influences quality, and is more in ac-
cordance with the old-world notion that
we can feed for butter, i. e,, for richness
of milk, that is the opinion that the beat
and most abundant feeding in the world
will not improve the composition of milk
of a cow with a natural tendency to pro-
duce milk low in butter fat. On the other
hand, it is diffioult to square these notione
of feeding affecting quality with what
experience has taught us about the char-
acteristics of breeds. We find Dutch cows
giving a larger quantity of milk, generally
of low quality-; and we find Channel Island
cattle representing characteristics quite
the reverse—taking, not the gross yield,
but the percentage of fat. In considering
the relative merits of dairy cows, we class
them as milk, butter, and cheese cows—
Shorthorns, Jerseys, Aryshires, etc., and if
breeds have an influence on quality, why
not, iedividuale ? It is certainly difficult re
throw overboard thesr3 cherished notions
that by feeding well wecrin influencequality,
and iostead, connect it mainly with the indi-
viduality of the cow, That careful observer,

laead, and after a ten weeke trial of the
tallow ration says, "There has been no

THE PRINCE GEORGE,
oestrinuon of the Latest Cruiser in the
British Fleet.
.A London cable says :—The &et class
°ruttier Prince George was lannohed recently
at Portsmouth. As announced the christ-
ening ceremony was performed by the
Duchess "of York, and naturally the
proceedings were wetchecl by an enormous
concourse of people. The usual service
having been read by the dockyard chaplain,
the Rev. T. F. Morton,Her Royal Highness
broke a, bottle of champagne over the vessel
and a cord having been severed the cruiser
glided gracefully off the slips 'into the
Water, amid the cheers of thousands of
spectators.
The Duchess saki : "I name this ship
the Prince George and wish rumen to all
who sail in her,"
Afterward Her Royal Highness was
presented with an oak casket containing
the mallet and ohisel used in cutting the
rope. She wore a lovely dress of green
-velvet, veiled with °mem muslin and
brocaded with tiny rosebuds. Her Royal
Highness was presented with a bouquet by
Miss Yates,daughter of the ohief construct,
or of the yard. After the ceremony the
Duke and Duchess drove to Admiralty
house for luncheon.
nesonieriow OE TIM VESSEL.
The principal dimensiona of the Prince
George are as follows :—Length between
perpendiculars, 370 feet ; breadth, ex-
treme, 75 feet ; mean draught of water,
27 feet 6 inches ; displacement when fully
equipped, about 15,000 tons. The vessel
will be fitted with twin screws, each of
which will be driven by an independent
set of engines, with three vertical cylin-
ders, and of six thousand horse power
giving a total horse power of 12,000 for
both sets of engines, with a working pres-
sure in the boilers of 150 pounds per
square inch. The amount of coal usually
carried is 900 tons, but the Prince George
has a total stowage of 2,220 tone.
The disposition of her protective armor
is similar to that of the Majestic, the
arrangements combining the advantages of
the turtle back deck of the cruisers with
those of the citadel armor of former battle
ships. The ship will be fitted with two
masts, with two fighting tops on each.
Each top will carry three 3 -pounder quick
firing guns, and each mast will carry on a
platform at its head a powerful electric
light for signalling and searching pur-
poses.
The Prince George will be fitted with the
new 12 -inch breech -loading steel and wire
guns, fitted in pairs, in two armored
redoubts, one at each end of the ship, and
be mounted on revolving turntables; the
whole will be worked either by hydraulio
or hand power. and will be protected by
an armor shield 10 inches thick, as in the
Majestic, an advantage not possessed by
previous battle ships of this size. The
vessel will also carry 12 six-inch quick -
firing g uns, moun ted in oasetnates, protected
by six-inch Harvey armor, eight of which
are on the main deck and four on the upper
deck.
Sixteen 12 -pounder quick firing guns will
be also mounted on the main and upper
decks, and the -vessel's armament will be
completed by the twelve 3 -pounder quick
firing guns in the military tops, by two 12.
pounder boat, and field guns, and by eight
45 -inch Maxim guus, mounted in suitable
positions. Twenty-two torpedoa will be
carried, which can be fired from four sub-
merged tubes. two for -ward and two aft,
and one above water tube at the stern.
Six search light projectors, worked by
three dynamos, each oi 600 amperes, will
also be carried.
"Grave Signal."
The chances of being interred alive by
mistake while in a state of catalepsy are
probably one in 10,000,000, but neverthe,
less,a man has patented a novel contrivance -
the "grave signal." It comprises a tube in
addition to au alarm, The tube is fitted
with sir valves. Upon the slightest reviv-
al, it is contended—although no one
apparently has tried it six feet under
ground—the signal is raised and relief is
afforded.
The stage exhibitions work very well, it
hi said, but undertakers have come forward
to oppose the plan. They think the fairest
test would be if the inventor would sub-
mit to a bona fide burial. The patentee
admits that his invention is antagonized by
the undertakers, because, as he says, it is
destined Boon to revolutionize inhumation
and check, in a measure embalming.

Two Favorite Pickles.
Pickled Walnuts.—The walnuts must be
gathered when they can be pierced with a
pin. When the shell can be felt, they
have ceased to be in a proper state for
pickling. Steep them in a strong brine for
12 days, changing the brine every three
days. Take them out, and expose to the
air mobil they turn black, which may be
two days often kies. Make a pickle, using
to every hundred nuts about gallon of
vinegar, 2 oz black pepper, 3 oz bruised
ginger,1 dram of mace, oz cloves, 4 oz
mustard seeds and 2 oz esohalots or garlio.
Boil the vinegar and spices for about 4
minutes, and pour boiling hot over the
walnuts. When quite cold, place in small
jars and seal. Most pickle vinegar, when
the vegetables are used, may be utilized
again, walnut pickle in particular. Boil
it up with a few eschalots chopped fine.
Let it stand until clear, tben pour off and
bottle. It is an excellent sauce for hashes,
fish, or stews, and nice for flavoring soups
or salade.
Chowehow.—Use in the following pro-
portions : One dozen small cucumbers, 2
heads of cauliflower, peck of string beans,
peck green tomatoes, 6 green peppers, 1
quart of very an -tall white onions, 1 pint
nasturtiums, 2 gallons vinegar, ?alb ground
mustard, A lb mustard seed, i• oz ground
cloves, 1 oz allspiece and two oz of tur-
meric. Peel the onions, remove the strings
from beans, break the cauliflower into
flakes ; if the tomatoes are large cut in
quarters, Sprinkle all the vegetables with
salt, let stand for 24 hours and drain.
Mix the spices and mustard intosa paste
with some of the vinegar ; put the remain-
der of vinegar over the -fire. When boiling
stir in the spices, and when it has boiled
up ones, the vegetables. Let them cook
about twenty minutes, until they look
yellow and are tender. Place in jars and
seal.
Household Hints.
Apple sauce should always be eaten with
roast pork, sausages, goose and all rich
dishes, for the malic acid neutralizes any
excess of chalky matter engendered by
eating too much meat.
Eggs can be prepared in so many ways
that they are possible few -minute dishes,
but so easily and commonly served most
people tire of them, therefore they should
not be served on consecutive days unless
one has the digestion and appetite of an
ostrich.
Nearly every woman is troubled by
apple pies "boiling over." This can be
remedied hy sprinkling more than half the
sugar to be used on the under crust, then
place the sliced apples above it, sprinkling
the remainder of the su gar, spice, salt and
a bit of butter on the top. By this means
the sugar boils up into the apple instead of
running out.
A physician makes the suggestion that
green corn should be eaten from the cob
and uot cut off, or if cut off at all, to be cut
with a dull knife. If the knife be sharp
enough to make a clean out of the grain it
will also cut with it the ligneous substance
in which the grain ie embedded and this
substance is as indigestible as sawdust and
is quite as irritating to the lining of the
stomach and bowels. In biting the grana
i
from the cob, the woody substance' s left
on the cob, the teeth pressing the grain
from its bed rather than taking a part of
the bed with it.
Two cooks one bad and the other good,
can make of the same dishes something
quite different, therefore it doesn't follow
that becauee one has only "the same old
things" she (rennet get up something geite

its For instance, toast can be, and 'finally
is, served a dried-up, eold slab. It may
be, and oocasiorialiy is, served so that it is
a toothsome morsel. Bread should be at
least tvventsofour hours old to make good
toast, Med then it should be sliced freshly
and le.id on the toaster and have each side
!seared a bit with the heat before either side
is browned; this keeps theinside of the slice
fresh and moist and good,. Whethet the
toast is served dry or buttered, the faces
ahould be stood up and not laid down for

LONDON'S WATER SUPPLY.
Forty Gallons of Carefully Purified Water
Allowed Each Person Daily,
he whole of Greater„London, covering
an area of about 630 miles, is supplied by
these organizations, whose powers and
districts are defined by law. The six
Thames companies are allowed to draw a
maximum supply of 120,000,000 gallons a
day ; the Ease London is allowed to take
33,000,000 gallons, and the New River
22,500,000 gallons a day from the Lea
the rest comes from the chalk wells ; there
is also, however, a supplementary supply
drawn by several companies from the gravel
beds by the aide of the Thames, and in
time of flood or drought this natural store
is very useful. In March, last year,
180,000,000 gallons of filtered water were
required every day for the supply of Lon-
don, which gave an average of about 33
gallons to each person in the area.
Bub in March last the consumption had
increased so greatly that the daily total
was 220,000,000 gallons, or 40 gallons per
head. Every drop of the water had been
thillEFELLE PERMED,
with the exception of that from the wells.
For this purpose, the companies have 114
filter beds, covering 117 1-4 acres. Every
company except the Kent has storage
reservoirs, in which water is kept in
readiness for emergencies. There are
storage reservoirs for unfiltered water
covering 474 1-2 acres, and holding about
1,280,000,000 gallons, and sixty filtered
water reservoirs holding 217,000,000 gal -
lone. That is to say, if every source of
supply were cut off, London would have
enough water itt store for a little more than
e. week.
The pumping operations represent an
enormous expenditure of force. The South-
wark Company, for instance, pumps 12,-
000,000 gallons every day a distance of
eighteen miles to Nunhead, with a rise of
215 feet, for distribution thence to the
other parts of the district. The pipes,
too, are often enormous in size'some of
the tunnels being nine feet in diameter.
As fur the length, there are in all London
5,000 miles of water pipes, on which there
are tome 27,625 hydrants. It is hard to
gain from mere figures an adequate con-
ception of the extent of London's water
supply, but, the enormous stream of water
flows steadily into the houses—over 800,-
000 of them—day by day, carefully filtered
and purified ; and the system contrasts
curiously with the old New River water
carts and Chelsea's wooden pipes.
A Curious Epidemic.
A St. Vitus' dance epidemic hes eeized
upon the school children of Rehlingen, a
village near Trier, on the Mozelle,France. It
began suddenly on July 25, with Katherina
Schnubel, a girl of 12. During a violent
thunderstorm in school hours she trembled
and quaked as if in a palsy, and then threw
out her arms and logs, sprang from her
seat and danced hysterically. The sight of
Katherina's involuntary motions had so
powerful a psychical influence on her fel-
low aoholars that all will power in them
seemed to be destroyed by a sort of wild,
irresistible desire to imitate her. In the
first class of the girls' school 29 of the
children began dancing, and four in the
second class. In the upper boys' school
four of the lads were seized, and three in
the lower sohools. The attacks were
repeated on the following day, and in a
few cases even longer. It seems that the
St. Vitus' dance has appeared in isolated
oases amoog the Rehlingen school children
several times during the last few years.
The schools were ordered to be closed for
throe weeks.
How Horses Walk On Iee.
Although a rubber horseshoe has been

It is noticeable that horses accustomed to

CHOLERA IN THE EAST.
A Tetrible Eptilontio In Japan and North
0:180Cabalon.o--11,000 Dc&1k9 Ere's'. the
St $ FAA1.101.900, Cal. Sept 28e—rtotwith-
tending the endeavors of Jamanerie and
Chinese authorities to suppress news eons
cerning the oholera, the truth has ati last
come to light oonoerning the plague. Japan
and North China are fairly alive with
cholera germs. Siberian officials have
deolared Japanese open ports iofected, and
from offioial souroee it is learned that over
17,000 people have died in Japan from the
plague since its start in the Pescadores.
In China the disease has gained a firm
foothold. Advice° by the steamer Rio
Janeiro report that in Tokio the heat hi
terrific and the disease germs have been
nurtured by the climate into virulent life.
The plague is raging in Yokoinuna also. In
Osaka 150 n SW oases were reported in one
day. In China at Che Foo the disease is
speeading rapidly, AtNanking much illness
prevaile among the toreigners, many of
whom have been forced to leave the country.
Advicefrom the United States Minister
to the Hawaiian Islands, under date of
September 5, state that up to that time 32
oases of cholera had been reported in
Honolulu, of which 26 were fatal. ,j)nly
one white person had died, a sailor on the
United States steamer Bennington. No
cases had been reported outside the city
and communication with the other islands
had been prohibited. No evidence of panio
existed, and the people were cordially co-
operating with the authorities in their
ettorts to stamp out the disease.
A Baby Eaten by a Bear.
A bear ate an Indian child a few days
ago near Bear Lake, Oregon. It had been
lea in the bush asleep while its mother
was picking berries. The poor, woman
heard the cries of her infant, and pioking
up a butcher knife rushed to its rescue,
She found a bear gnawing the little thing.
Without a moment's hesitation she attacked
it. The bear waa too powerful for her, and
although she fought bravely, she was
clawed and mangled in a fearful manner,
and would have been killed had not other
Indiana, who heard her ahouts for help,
come to her aid and killed the bear. Al -
moat every particle of flesh on the baby's
body had bean devoured.

Claude—Calm yourself my dear. Your

Hub! My safety and well-being! How
can either be insured by this miserable
shanty ?
Here, my dear, you need have no fear o
burglars.
A Puzzled Beauty.
Mother (auepiciously)—Didn't I see that
young man kissing you as I passed the
parlor -door last night?
Pretty Daughter (innooently)—I don't
see how you could. Your glaissee were on
the parlor mantel.
