Conformation of Dairy Cows.
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

and remember that the best, brightest and

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.

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

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.

a Future of lmntonsi: Production. for
the itecerrtly Discovered cold nails
Tho recent riol, discovery of gold at Cool-
gardie, which has been°abled from Austra-
lia, promises to be one of the most impor-
tant ever made in that colony. cfr Malcolm
Fraser,agent general for Western Australia
in England, in discussing the etriko the
other day said the, present generation need
not trouble about the permanency of the
gold mining in that colony. 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.

The latest discovery in the seienti•
-do world is that nerve centres located
in or near the base of the brain con-
trol all the organs of the body, and
when these nerve centres are
deranged the organs which they
supply with nerve fluid, or nerve
fbree, are also deranged: When it
Is remembered that a serious injury
to the, spinal cord will cause paralysis
of the body below the injured point,
because the nerve force is prevented
by the injury from reaching the para-
lyzed portion, it will be understood
how the derangement of the nerve
centres will cause the derangement
of the various organs which they
supply with nerve force; that is,when
a nerve centre is deranged or in any
way diseased it is impossible for it
to supply the same quantity of nerve
force as when in a healthful condi-
tion ; hence the organs which depend
upon it for nerve force suffer, and aro
unable to properly perform their
work, and as a result disease makes
its appearance.
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.
