THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. 7 THE DAIRY BREEDS. flio Geneva Experiment Statloi fclvi-s the following results of a serlei of rwU of the leading breeds of Billet cowa: The propose ad'optcd was to establish Bs fairly as could bo done, tho prlcei for the milk per hundred weight, foi the milk solids for cheese making poi pound, and for butter fat per pound these figures were placed at $1.28 pel hundred weight for milk, 0 cents pet pound for milk solids, and 2G centi for butter fat. On this basis Ayrshire milk wai worth as such, during the year, $87.24 per cow; its solids for cheese making were worth $81.14; and Its butter fai .tor butter making was worth but $64.17 The Ayrshire, according to this show Ing, would be worth more to the milk man than to the cheese maker, and mora to the cheese maker than to the butter maker. The milk of the Guernsey was wortt Jfis.98, the milk solids were valued a' $75.04 for cheese making, and $75.18 fot butter making. Here the Guernsey ti shown to toe more valuable to elthei the butter or cheese maker than to th( milkman. The milk of the Holstoln proved t beworth $101.35 when sold as milk $87.41 In tho hands of the cheese makei and $70.07 In the hands of the buttei maker. The Holsteln Is. therefore, i better milkman's cow than a cheeet maker's, and a better ohease maker'! .cow than she Is a 'butter maker's cow The milk of the Jersey at the price assumed was worth $64.58; the solid! were worth to the cheese maker $72.37. and its butter fat was valued at $74.30. The Jersey Is, therefore. Just tie re verse of the Holsteln-FrteBlan. She li at her best In the butter making, and the next most profitable use for hei milk is cheese making; It Is least profit able to the milkman. The Shorthorn gave milk worth $72.50, the solids In the hands of the cheese ranker were worth $80.85; the tat In the hands of the butter makei was .worth $50.03. The figures prove the milk of tho Shorthorn Is the most profitable for manufacture ,lnto the cheese, the sale of milk standing sec ond In point of profit, and the buttcx value coming last. THE FRUIT MARKETS. For several successive seasons disap pointments have come to the growers ot small fruits. Frosts and drouths have ruined the crop In some localities, while large pro duction, unequal distribution and low prices have been equally diai-ouraging in others. Soil, location, cultivation and mulch ing are all important factors in Kuurv ing against drouth. Results should be jarefully noted. Over production Is practically Impos sible for many years to come, if distri bution can be made more uniform. The great study should be not only to produce best fruit, but no distribute it that all may have some and none toe much. Tho great cities are often glutted with Inferior fruit, carelessly picked poorly packed and roughly handled making rcshipment to email towns anil oltles an Impossibility. While this maj result In. good pay for the transporta tlon companies. It leaves small proluf tor the commission man and certain loss for the producer. Growers should understand that it costs Just as much to pick, pack, trans port and sell poor fruit as good; good fruit In a f.Ur market is euie to pay well, walla pcor fruit In any market Is almost certain to return a loss. The remedy Is In giving more care to all ".he oetalls of production and workTng for better markets In the smaller towns and cities. Many good local markets are entire ly overlooked In the mad rush of ship ments to the larger cltiee. Near loca. markets are often best, study them well The proper distribution of small fruits will not be complete until spo clal refrigerator cars are placed on all lines from which sales can be made al any point, the same as meats at the present time.

The Fittsburg club has received the signed contracts of third baseman Donnelly and pitcher Tannehill. The Phillies have a new manager. Joe Quinn, it is said, will be the first Baltimore player to be released. In this event, he will probably find a berth in Louisville. It is uot definitely settled yet who will be the Wilkes-liarre manager next season. There are several who would like to secure the management of the coal barons, as all the games are well attended, and a nice sum was realized by that club last season. Base ball at llarrisburg is dead for some time to come. It is very pecul iar that a city which always turned out large crowds and which manifested so much interest in the games of 1895 could come down to its present con dition. Winning the pennant in that year when the club was entirely too strong for all their opponents is prob ably the cause. Pitcher Carsey says that he has signed to play with the Philadelphia club another year. It is said that the management wants him to play short s'op. Until the season opens Carsey proposes to attend to his newly-leased grounds for Sunday ball. They are located between Union Hill and Gut tenburg, in that part of New Jersey known as West New York. The opening game will be played on April 1 1 with a National League team, pro vided President Freedman, of the New York Baseball Club, consents. New York Situ. Although the Philadelphia club has not announced the release of Billy Nash, it looks as though the third uuseman would leave the Quaker City A young man named Gillen, who played third base for the Detroits, has been signed by Messrs. Reach and Roiiers, and for this reason it is be lieved that Nash will be allowed to go. He should not have to look far for an engagement, for a man of his ability would be a great help to an team.- New York Evening World. Gillen will have to be a '-wonder" to sup plant Nash. He may, however, be given a trial at short. Tired Languid Feeling. Philadelphia. Pa.

The child is taught at school that a dozen means twelve every time, but when a child grows into a man he finds that a dozen is a very elastic term. A baker's dozen is thirteen, and so is a publisher's or a news agent's in many parts of the world. In some sections a dozen of fish means twenty-six, and there are other anom- sVs of this kind. But to find a doz en indicating anything from two to fifty it is necessary to go to the earth enware trade. Here the size and weight of articles decide how many make a dozen, and in jugs, bowls, plates and so on there .ire two, four, six, eight or more to the dozen. A dozen composed of twelve articles is a very unusual thing in the wholesale pottery trade, and as a re sult there are few clerkships more difficult to hold than in this line. I tried the work once and failed ignom- iniously. To have to find the cost of 500 articles at so much a dozen when that dozen may mean anything is a very difficult task until a man gets .thoroughly used to it.

Bok writes of " Dogs and Feminine Affection " in the Ladies Home Journal and points out the dangers of caressing a dog, how ever well cared for it may be. "The most eminent physicians," he asserts, " have conclusively shown that the practice of allowing the body of a dog to come into close contact with the human body is fraught with the greatest physical evils. The cleanest dog in the world is not without this objection. It cannot be. A dog's nose should never be allowed to touch any part of the human skin. The most casual observance of a dog's habits will show the reasons for this. In fact, from whatever standpoint one chooses to look at the matter from that of cleanliness, health or bodily danger the practice of petting dogs with close embraces of any sort is a positive wrong. Women cannot be too careful about this, either as the practice affects themselves or, if they are mothers, their children. We can be fond of our dogs many of them deserve human affection but we should bestow this fondness upon them with a little careful regard for common sense. One point, of all others, cannot be too carefully re garde d the face should never be brought into close contact with a dog. A sense of cleanliness alone should forbid this, even if positive danger .1:1 . v ., ,. uiu not iurK in ine practice. Dr. Shields, an eminent physician of Tennessee, says : "I regard Ayer's barsaparilla as the best blood-medicine on earth, and I know of many wonderful cures effected by its use." Physicians all over the laud have made similar statements. What Becomes of Sunken Ships? What becomes of the ship that sinks in midocean ? If it is of wood, it takes, in the first place, considerable time for it to reach the bottom. In 100 or more fathoms of water a quar ter of an hour will elapse before the ship touches bottom. It sinks slowly, and when the bottom is reached it falls gently into the soft oozy bed with no crash or breaking. Of course, it it is laden with pigiron or correspond ing substance, or if it is an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and sometimes strikes the bottom with such force as to smash in pieces. Once sunken, a ship becomes the prey of the countless inhabitants of the ocean. They swarm over and through the great boat and make it their home. Besides this, they cover every inch of the boat with a thick layer of lime. This takes time, of course, and when one gener ation dies another continues the work until finally the ship is so laden with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges and barnacles that, if wood, the creak ing timbers fall apart and slowly but surely are absorbed in the waste at the sea bottom. Iron vessels are demolished more quickly than those 01 wood, which may last for centuries. The only metals that withstand the chemical action of the waves are gold and platinum, and glass also seems unaffected. No matter how long gold may be hidden in the ocean, it will always be gold when recovered, and this fact explains the many romantic and adventurous searches after hid den submarine treasures lost in ship wrecks.
