A prominent dairy authority claims that ,the English idea of a cowle based on the outline of the Shorthorn, and hence is more •or less of a beef form. Answering this correspondent writes as follows to the London Live Stook Journal. There is an increasingly common belief thab an ideal dairy cow ought to be, what .may be termed, wedge shaped, wide behind .and narrow forward, This, of course, means narrow chests, and narrow sheets )means weak cattle. Granted, for the sake of argument, that snob is the proper con. formation of the ideal dairy cow, it may be well to consider what this leads to. We all know .the story of the ending of the .experiment to get a horse to livo on noth- ing. How well it succeeded up to a c twin point, and would have been entire .successful had the horse lived ; but, luck would have it, the horse died whe of tinge CleWe bee been meet nnsatiofaotery and unbusinesslike, The evidence of those owners who have go�ne in tot Pimply weigh.

Care of Milk In Berlin. At Herr Bolles famous dairy fa Berlin Germany, the milk is strained through wire sieves covered with a cloth over which fine gravel is sprinkled. After tits milk is strained the gravel is put in a hot oven,. that any germs that may possibly have been strained from bite milk may be destroy. ed. The gravel is thus used for filtering the milk any number of times. For the butter made at this dairy both'sweet and sour cream are used, that made from sweet cream commanding the higher price. After the compartments filled with a particular kind of milk are filled, the wagon is locked, and the milkman who delivers it nae access to the supply only through the faucets on the sides of the wagon. NEARLY A MILE IN DEPTH. The Deepest Mining Shalt in the lYorld ds Said to be in Michigan. Less than a month ago the deepoet min. ing shaft in the world reached the copper lode in the Tamarack mine, Operohee, Mich., which is now a trifle over 4,200 feet in depth, was begun three years ago, and reached the vein on Aug. 4 et a depth of 4,195 feet. A trip down three•onarters of a toile into the bowels of the earth is a decided novelty. Entering the cage, which is an er- iron elevator, fitted with all modern safety ly appliances and hoisted or ,lowered byan as inch and a half wire cable passing over a o great drum in the engine house near the shaft, the signal is given to lower. A sep- arate cage it always used for tarrying men, and the rate of speed is loss thae where rook is hoisted or timberlowered in the other compartments. The, trip requires Soo minutes, and, as the cage sinks ata rote of speed equal to that of the swiftest eleve. tor in a modern skyscraper, the dark walls of rook, on which a faint light is thrown by the candles and oil -lamps of the party, seem to be swiftly shooting upward, while the cage is standing still. At last the bottom is reached. A dozen miners, covered with grime and dust, aro busily at work. Power drilla, fed' by com- pressed air coming almost a mile through ironpipes, are tapping the rock petulantly. Men are shovelling the rock blasted from the lode into the cars, which are trundled into the cages and hoisted to the surface. The candlee throw weird shadows, and as the reflection comes to the mind of the mor- tal from earth's surface that he is deeper down under the earth's crust than man has ever .penetrated before, the desire to ascend to freshair and sunshine is apt to come up. perm0et. A few minutes: show all that is to be seen, for No- 3 shaft has just reached the lode, and the extensive system of drifts, crosscuts and whims existing in other shafts of the mine has been but begun down hero. The work is all planned for many years to conte, and the force of compreasod air and the musofeof man will transfer those plans from the paper where they were placed by the busy brain of the engineer into openinge in the living rook, inch by inch, but with the flame power 01 never•ooasing pereisten oe which amuses the falling drop of water in the course of long ages to wear away the atone.. ,only one straw stood in the way of com- plete success of'the experiment. If we are to breed cattle to be useful, we must breed them with strong constitutions .and, after all, it is not yet satisfactorily settled that we must breed cattle with narrow chests if we are to have high-class m}Iking aorta. How does the matter stand, at present? We have the Channel' Isiaud cattle; essentially milk breeds, and we have the Ayrshires and Kerrier, With rogard. to the Channel Island (male, we have in them cattle whose milking qualiecatioos have been most carefully attended to by ,geoerationa of breeders. These breeders, with tbeireiroumscribed boundaries, but favorable climatic situations, have produc- •ed a class of small cows that give milk of ,greater richness than that of any other breed. In the Ayrshires and Kerrie') we have small -sized cattle, smell food con- sutnere. and yet, comparatively ,peaking, great milkers, While both the Ayrshire',, and the Kerrier are expected to live on harder fare, and are subject to greater climatic hardships, than the channel Is- landers, the experts in dairy cattle judging are, and have been, insisting upon having the Ayrehirea and Kerry (tattle with the same narrow -chest devolopntent as is found in the Jersey. ,All practical cattle -breeders know where this must end. Sorry tales are already told of the constitutional weakness of one of the breeds, and, it is only a matter- of time, and that a vary little time, when the effects of such a system of breeding will show themselves, Is it necessary to have narrow chests in 'dairy cattle? How does the matter stand with Shorthorn cattle—cattle that, after all. that . is said or can be said for outer. breeds, are the dairy cattle of England? Every ono who has had experience of a stock of dairy Shorthorns can look bask upon ninny a wide -cheated, deep -milking cow. They can quote Pinny acow as giving foot to five gallons of milk a .day,' milking steadily month after month for fivo or nix months,' and gradually settling down till she was dried off after being m milk ton menthe. They can tell of a lean oow after ten months' milking and a cow full of flesh and substance at next calving time, so full of flesh tee ro be mistaken by many , for one of the beef -bred sort. Such rs no fancy picture; itis one that tens of thou- sands of dairytosn and farmers could, and „,doubtlesewould, willingly attest, And, with regard to Shorthorns as dairy cattle, it can be confidently asserted that, as they at present exist, they are phone. tnenally better than could have been ex - rated of them considering that they have en bead iu such % haphazard way, so far ns their :dairy capabilities are concerned. We may all look forward 10 a much more syotematio and carefully -worked outmanage. ntene in dairy cattle -breeding in future. We have unproved appliances by which,; ,with the least possible trouble, not only the quantity' of milk'a cow may give can bo de. termined, but a definite estimate of the duality of such milk can be at once obtain. ed, The tendency has been to overvalue a class of cows that, at calving, or soon after, have an oxtraordinary bag development, when in everyday experionoo these big. bagged solve may, and often o, fall short In two very important pointe. They may 'lye a great quantity of milk a short time, but after being again in calf, they may, and many do, go off quickly, And, again, although giving a great quantity of intik, the quality may be 00 ewer that, for all other purposes exeeptml}k.selling, they are lose thrifty .than many of their neighbors' with a lighter milk record, And all these things require much more careful attention than they have yet had, The hayhazard way oew.ewners have hitherto arrived at an estimate of the values CRIME IN IRELAND. Callaghan Wns Jeered and Used 'RIs Gun.— Then Ile Was Menten to Death. Michael Callaghan, an unpopular care. taker, was recently evioted from a farm at Brookagb, Tipperary. On Sunday last he met it party of exon rsionists from Wood ford, Galway, who were aware of the Dir-. eumstances of his eviction and jeered him. Callaghan, who had a gun, became deeply inooneod, and, when ono of the excursion- ists said something that particularly ',reused'his ire,' he aimed at the crowd and discharged the contents of his weapon among them. One of the party, named Kelly, was fatally, wounded. The crowd thereupon attacked Callaghan; and beat hitn savagely, inflicting iujuriee from the effects of which ho died in a few hours. Ton members of the, party were arrested. The Fires Will Make Work for,Many. `What is the probable loss from 11,0 Ere on pine stumpage throughout bite West?' was naked of a leading lumberman the other day. "The loss is in one sensenominal," re- plied he. "You understand fire does not burn the body of a pine tree ; it only burns off the bark and foliage, The thank of the burned tree ie esood as ever it was, with Chia oxoepbeon. Tho tree, after it is burned, must be out the succeeding winter, eloe ib will become worm eaten and worth. less. "This fire is a blessing in disguise to labor. Every owner of bnroed pine stump - ago must go to Work this corning winter and cut every foob of it, and many of these owners are forced to out perhaps hundreds of millions of feet of eturnpage they would not otherwise have cut for years to Dome. They aro, you see, forced to employ int. manse crews of men they would nob other• wise have had use for."

CENT' AUSTRALIAN DISCOVERY - Says That the Gooigar,lio .

He believed we were only standing upon the threshold and that greater things are yet to come. In July, 1889, some energetic gentlemen, led by W. Anstey, went on a prospecting tour to a position about 300 miles eastward of Perth, when almost a legendary report had arisen that gold could ba found in a district since named Yilgarn. These gentlemen found that the report was not a myth, as a gold centre named Southern Cross wee dis- covered, in and around which good paying reefs were found, In the same diatrlct,some miles north of Coolgardie, a discovery had been made which would seem to eclipse anything ever discovered in the world's history, A hole"u feet4 inches wide and 3 Moe deep had yielded 410,000 first, and then enough gold was left to stole 200 weight. ' This reef was outmopped for a distance of half a mile, and it was believed to be a deep ono. • "The auriferous belts of western Austra- lia," said Sit M. Fraser, "extend from the Dundas hill', in the south to the Ord river in the north, a distance of over 1,200 miles. Of course it does not follow that every mile of this ground is auriferous, but when you think of the wonderful discoveries already tnade it 1e not too znuch to expect that the greater portion of this land will be found to be gold -bearing. The utmost energy has been brought to bear upon the construction of railways. The line to Coolgardie has been completed to Southern 'Cross, a dis- tance of 300 milds, leaving over 120 miles to eonetruot, wl.ioh is to be proceeded with at once, and the line to Upper Murchison, a distance of 300 miles,, is being rapidly completed. ""This will conneot the fields with a good seaport, nal thus give the necessary imp°. tus to me rapid development of the district. It is in contemplation to construct other lines to the more northern parts of the colony to bring these districts into line. "The water supply of the western side of Australia 200 miles from the coast is spasmodic in character, drenching rain, quite tropical, accompanied by the most violent thunder-etorma, is precipitated on the thirsty soil. The averoge.yearly rain- fall at Coolgardie has been estimated at twelve inches in showers, or, rather, de- luges, of short duration. It only remains for the ingenuity of man to oatch.and pre- serve this beneficial and ample rainfall to provide for every one of a very large colony of ruiners. Apart from this, Balt water can be readily obtained in most parts by deep sinking, and this has been found to be most useful in the extraction of gold, al. though not so good se fresh water. Of course it eau be condensed and then it is ready for consumption. "The premier of the colony stated the other day that a nandenae capable of heat- ing 3,000galloneofsalt water can be pro- cured for £150. Thirty thoueand pomade has been already expended by the govern• moue in water conservation, so that after the mixt rain Coolgardie will be provided with an envie supply of water. The gov- ernment have been doing what is necessary to keep the miners provided and communi- cation open ; of course, private companies must look after themselves. The climate' is magniflacnt and most healthy. The government have given their consideration to the question of a mlut to be erected, so yeti see they have an idea that there will be plenty of gold. Towns are springing up right and left. Undoubtedly, what was yesterday a desert will to -morrow bei large town." As to the tenure upon which the land is held the agent general added : "The gov- ernment have, perhaps been too liberal in this' respect, Before they found they had so molt hidden treasure they made con- tracts with certain syndicates, the Hump. den Plains Estate Company, for instance, Which owns a very ;large and important area of mining and pastoral land, Miners' who discovered a gold area were rewarded With a pinked chain. It is only right that the sten who first light the torch of progress' should have come benefit from Its Days. The gold discovery in western Australia le neither a secret nor a trick.

Al least two-thirds of our chronic diseases and ailments are dile to the imperfect action of the nerve centres et the baso of the braki, and not from a derangement primarily originating is the organ itself. The great =is - Mho of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat the organs and not the nerve centres, which aro the cause of the trouble. The wonderful cures wrought by the Great South American Nervine Tonic are due alone to the fact that this remedy is based upon the fore- going principle. It cures by rebuild- ing and strengthening the nerve centres, and thereby increasing the supply of nerve force or nervous energy. • This remedy has been found of infinite value for the cure of Nervous- ness, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Paroxysms, Sleeplessness, Forgetful- ness, Mental Despondency, Nervous- ness of Females, Hob Flashes, Sick Headache, Heart Disease. The first bottle will convince anyone that a. cure is certain. South American Nervine is with- out doubt the greatest remedy ever discovered for the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and all Chronic Stomach Troubles, because it acts through the nerves. It gives relief in one day, and absolutely effects a permanent cure in every instance. Do not allow your prejudices, or the preju dices of others, to keep you from using this health -giving remedy. It is based on the result of years of scientific research and study. A single bottle will convince the most incredulous. A. »1FAlD1iIAN Wholesale and Retail Agent for frusscls Captain Webb's Widow.
