The woman stitt'ragits are making
prc gress in Canada. To a deputation
which waited upon Air. Mowat, the
Premier of Ontario,the other day, that
gentlennu said that he would take
the matter into his "most serious
consideration." Inasmuch, how
ever, as Mr. Mowat invariably prom
ises to "consider seriously" every
thing and anything thai, is brought
to his notice, his promise in this
respect does not amount to much. But
it is likely that the woman of Canada
will siion'v have the privilege of

seems to be making greater headway
in Canada than in the United States,
there has been much less public
agitation of the question in the for

The Thanksgiving Social Soiree
given at the St. Charles hotel last
evening was not
so
was
largely attended as
anticipated, only about twent\
hve or thirty eouble being present.
But this fact did not detract from the
pleasure of the party, and each and
every guest gave evidence of the lull
enjoyment of the occasion, both at
the table and in the social pleas
ures of the evening. The hostess had
spared no expense or labor in her
pieparations for tlie event and it is to
be regretted that there were so many
who failed to take advantage of so
rare ah opportunity to enjoy an even
ing of social intercourse, when every
thing had been arranged with an eye
single to their pleasure.
Sunday Weal her.
Of theweather a week ago last Snti
day the editor of the "Wahpeton Ga
zette moralizes in the following beau
tiful strain. It was. indeed, a poetic
day, as has been nearly everyday this
fall up to the presenl but had he been
exposed to the breath of old Boreas
that day a week later, when the tem
perature fell nearly 100 degrees in
side of twelve hours, his musings
would have taken more spasmodic
utterance:
The weather that was becoming so
mild during the latter part of last w eek
reached the climax of excellence on
Sunday, when the air was nearly mo
tionless, and but little cooler than
summer, and soft golden sunlight
painted the landscape in hues of au
tumnal glory, unapproached by the
imagination of the greatest master
painter. It was too delightful to re
main indoors, or at least every one
seemed to think sm, judging by the
numbers on the streets during the
middle and latter portions of the day.
Everything was so quiet—not even the
wing of a bird or an insect disturbed
the smoke-tinged atmosphere -the day
was in reality a symbol of the rest
promised to the pure in heart after
the conflicts of this life are properly
encountered and surmounted. But
we cannot expect many more days
this season, so very magnificent, not
even in Dakota.
Worthy of Coiiwidcratioii.
A good cow should give an average
of 20 pounds of milk a day for 24o days
100 pounds of milk should give 8
pounds of cream loo pounds of cream
should give 45 pounds of butter, and
loo pounds of milk should produce 10
pounds of cheese. This would be
equal to 480 pounds of cheese or 175
pounds of Vuitter in the season. It is
an extra good cow that will yield 200
pounds of butter in the year. But
there are cows that will yield 300 or
400 pounds. One cow in the writer's
dairy has given 075 pounds of butter
from May 10, 18S2, to Sept. 10, IHH3,
which is equal to one pound six ounces
daily tor the whole time. Such a cow
is an extraordinary one, as her yield
of butter between those dates show.
This cow was a fine bred Jersey and
lier milk was made into butter. There
are cows of other breeds with records
fully as good as this but dairymen
have not been so careful, probably, in
keeping there records. There are now
over tioo cows in the United States
With butter records of 14 pounds per
week, aad some enthsiastic admirer of
a particular breed is preparing a rec
ord for publication, which will proba
bly be of little use, as all of the con
ditions under which the yield was ob
tained will not be stated. Records to
i be valuble must give minute details
of the character and quantity of food,
the care bestowed upon the cow,
the manner in which the milk
was handled, the butter churned, and
the pric*.'. It is a lamentable fact
that there far too much guess work
in the dairy, and a halt should be
called until the correct figures are giv
en. When these are obtained we can
have reliable data on which to base
claims. If the busines is properly and
judiciously managed it pays those who
engage in it.- Minneapolis Tribune.
