In spite ot the tariff the price of
American fine wool is so low that it
can be transported abroad into free
trade markets and profitably manufac
tured. This presents the anomaly
existing in the United States of protect
ed wool which has to be sent into free
trade markets for profitable sale,
Should the surplus of unconsumed wool
continue to be sent out of the country
the American consumer will in the long
run be compelled to buy back, at higher
prices Its equivalent in the shape of raw
material.—St. Louis Republic.
The success in preserving dead bod
ies that has been achieved by a Naples
surgeon, Dr. Manini, has excited the
wonder of European physicians. He
uses a series of Bpeclal baths, without
incisions or injections. The first of the
three stages is provisional desicatlon,
which keeps the body in a condition
for ready dissection by the anatomiBt
the second Is petrifaction, giving the
hardness of marble in a few hours, and
the third is the restoration of natural
color, flexibility and freshness, so that
the subject appear* to be simply sleep

A full blooded Indian lunatic never
lived, according to United States com
missioner William A. Jones, of the de
partment of Indian affairs. The state
ment was surprising, says a Sioux City
Dispatch inasmuch as the commissioner
had just finished inspecting the site re
cently purchased by the government
near Canton, S. D., for an Indian Insane
asylum. Mr. Jones farther said:
The occupants of the hospital soon to
be opened will all be mixed breeds. Even
among them the number of patients is
is small in proportion to the Indian
population of 256,000, The exact num
ber I do not know. Probably there was
never a case of insanity in any tribe un
til the malady was Introduced by mix
ing with the whites. For the Canton
asylum a 160-acre tract of ground has
been provided—an ideal spot for a hos
pital, with just enough slope to the south
to Insure drainage. The erection of
the building will be commenced as soon
as the plans an^ specifications are
finished and the 845,000 appropriation
is available, which will be July 1. As
soon as it is completed all the Insane
Indians in the United States will be
sent there, The structure will likely be
three BtorieB high and the intention iB
to have it ready for occupancy early in
the fall. It will be just one and one
eighth miles east of Canton.
Oddly enough, diseases of all kinds
are creating the greatest havoc among
the best cared for and richest tribes.
Those who have to rustle for them
selves are gradually increasing in num
bers. Among the Osages, in Oklahoma
for example, the death rate is some
thing startling.] IThe nation comprises
16,000 Indians and has 89,000,000 to its
credit, drawing interest, in the United
States treasury. The reds live in noth
ing short of luxury, but early in life the
braves grow fat and tlubby, then con
tract consumption and die., The Sioux,
numbering 20,000 are on the increase.
They have no such nest-egg as the
Osages and have to work harder for
their livings. It agrees with them.
TJie Sioux are also making rapid pro
gress along educational lines. The old
full bloods who never cared for educa
tion and stolidly refused to accept ad
vancement, are dying off. There was
no hope for them and the only thing to
do is to let them go. Most of the abori
gines with whom we now have to deal
have more or less white blood in their
veins. The current idea that educa
tion makes them more viciouB when
they return to their reservations Is er
roneous. Our Btatlstics show that 76
per cent of the number lead fairly cor
net lives. It is true, however, that an

CREAMERY'
AND DAIRY
DAIRY METHODS.
Some of Many Changes Wherein
Twenty-five Tears.
What many farmers now need is to
realize the radical changes that have
taken place In all the methods that
have to do with the production, distri
bution and consumption of dairy pro
ducts. Then iftbereis any scientific
teaching that will help him to adjust
his methodB to meet the changes that
have taken place he should avail him
self of them.
Twenty-five years ago, writes a cor
respondent of lloard's Dairyman, when
I was living on my ather's old dairy
farm, every cow was fresh in milk in
the spring. The most of the butter WW
made during the summer months and
packed in firkins. Every fall we coulff
depend on several butter buyers coming
to our home to buy the butter. The
cows are dried off in the fall or early in
the winter, and no more butter was
made until the next spring. In th^e
days the production of butter was OQI&
fined to a few eastern states, and thw»i
was a demand in the large cities for
the butter—old butter, too—at
prices. Then came the inflation
of the wartimes, and a great opj
nity was given for to
their farms if they were bongh^
right time.
This method of farming ynt adapted
entirely to summer dairying. The only
grain fed the cows was a little in the
spring, before grass, and this was grown
on the farm. The butter was all made
at home by the farmer's wife, and the
expense of drawing the milk to the
creamery and money paid for making
the butter were saved, ilghe bieadstuffs
and vegetables used by th'e family were
all grown on the farm, taxes were less,
less was spent for the comforts or luxu
ries of life, and the social demands were
less, so the economical farmer could
save more money than the farmer of
the present time.
I do not say that he could m8ke more
than the enterprising farmer of
today, but that, the processes of dairy
ing being nearly all conducted on the
farm and being less a consumer of
other people's products, he could live
and save money on a smaller cash in
come than he can now. Butter making
has been legated to the factory, and
the demand now 1B for fresh butter, so
the farmer must practice winter dairy
ing to hold his trade with the factory.
The butter buyer, instead of going to
the farmer, now goes to the factory,
where he can buy butter in large quan
tities that is of the highest quality and
uniform in grade. The western states
hive become butter making states, and
with their cheap grain and transporta
tion facilities they can undersell the
eastern dairymen In their own markets
and still make larger profits.
The result of a large production of
any article and intenBe competition is
that the standard of quality is rais
ed. The market demands a better
article, and inferior goods are of little
value. The fact is that the dairyman
of today is compelled to produce a bet
ter article and produce it cheaper than
at any other time. He must patronize
the creamery in order to sell bis pro
duct, he must pay the creamery for
manufacturing it, and he muBt produce
apart in the winter when it costs bim
more, and there 1B only one way for
bim to meet the changed conditions of
things and that is to produce his milk
at a less cost.
The old methods of farming that I
have described will not do, and the
farmer who tries to make them fit with
the present order of things will soon
find his -mistake, If our agricultural
papers and dairy conventions and farm
institutes can tell us how to make
fair margins i!n these times, we wan: to
hear from them. If we have men who
have studied the situation, then have
gone to work and made their farms pay
good profits by what has been called
scientific farming," they should have
something to tell us. When they' tell
us that the Bilo, clover, soiling crops,
testing their cows to Bee which pay a pro
fit and watm Btables with tight gutters
that save all the liquids have helped
them to solve the problem of reducing
the cost of production, we may rightly
call it "scientific farming," and we will
do well to make it our study,
Parsnips for Cows.
There is no better root for cows than
the parsnip. It has the advantage that
part of the crop may, if need be, be

grown. The parenip, unlike the beet
makes a rich milk. It IB equal to the'
carrot In this respect and undoubtedly,
like that root, helps to color winter
made butter. Parsnips are a favorite
winter feed of Jersey and Guern
sey farmers, whov by its use have been
able to breed cows whose *high butter
color has becoue hereditary in these
breeds. No doubt the parsnip feeding
is in part responsible for the color of
Jersey butter,

Ooldmnltlt's Generosity.
A beggar once asked alms of Oliver
Goldsmith as he walked with a friend
up Fleet street, and he gave her a shil
ling. His oompsnion, knowing some
thing of the woman, censured the writor
for his excess ot humanity, saying that
the shilling was misapplied, as she
would spend it for liquor. "If it makes
her happy in any way, my end is an
swered," replied Goldsmith.
Another proof that the d00tor's gen
erosity waB not always regulated by dis
cretion was at a time when, after muoh
delay, a day was fixed to pay the £40
due his tailor. Goldsmith procured the
money, but a friend calling upon him
and relating a piteous tale of his goods
being seized for rent, the thoughtless
but benevolent author gave him all the
money. The tailor called and was told
that if he had come a little sooner he
could havo had the money, but that he
had just parted with every shilling of it
to a friend in distress, adding, "I would
have been an unfeeling monster not to
have relieved trouble when in my pow
er."
