& ow Coal Schooner to Carry Six Masts.
H J). Bean of Camden, N. J., has
closed a contract with a shipbuilding
firm in Bath, Me. for the construction
of what will be the largest schooner
afloat. The new craft is to carry six
masts and is to be completed in 1900,
Her length over all is to be 420 feet,
greater than that of sceveral of the
modern crack ocean steamships. Her
keel will be 800 feet long.
The schooner is to cost $100,000, and
its object of existence will be the trans-
portation of coal. Her carrying ca-
pacity is designed to be 5,500 tons.
With her peculiar rig the new vessel
will attract no end of interested at- |
tention whenever seen at sea under |
full sail

The quality of the milk depends up
pends upon the quality of the cow ot
the food given fo it. There are plenty
who believe that the quality of the
milk can be changed by changing the
fool. That is, certain Kinds of food
make milk rich In fat, and other foods
make milk poor in fat. The question
of which is correct is interesting to
dairymen, amd if It is the food that
determines the question they want a
ration that will give the best results,
Mast farmers have been led to be
lieve that the percentage of fat in the
niflk is determined largely by the qual
ity of the food given to the cows, Ov
the other hand, the results of nearly
all the scientific experiments and tests
go to show that the kind of food fod
to the cows has little influence upon
the fat in the milk, but that every
thing depends upon the cow, There
are some cows that seem to hw born
with the ability to produce milk rich
tn fat, and food of any kind will keep
up this supply. Of course, starving
and gradual degeneration of the ani
mal will decrease the supply of milk
and consequently the quality of fat
But with fair care and food the per
centage of fat will remain good and
