TaE grip is again becoming an epi- | demic in many sections of the cou.ly. esniininins Coxanress convened in regular ses sion on Monday. Action on the Wilson | tariff bill, the democratic measure, will | be the all absorbing topic. | IT is perfectly natural that individ- uals could be found in Bellefonte who will oppose everything attempted by | the Bellefonte Board of Trade to ad. vance the interest of the town. Moss | backs become a necessary »vil and must be endured. -— PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S message | was a surprise to the many who ex. pected to see it deal alone with tariff reform. He emphatically endorses the | Wilson taciff bill ure and urges its passage. Other public | questions are given due and full atten- tion. as a consistent meas- | Tuere will be little change in busi. ness affairs for the present. The dis. | posal of the tariff question will natural ly hold certain industries in suspense | until the conclusion is reached. There will be some important changes in the existing schedules and business men and manufacturers are awaiting the result. The change will naturally cause some disturbances but when that period has been passed we predict lasting | benefits. Patience for a few months. ——— . } | i i ! | i i Tne repuplican organs are playing | their partisun music. The announce- | ment of the Wilson tariff bill and | Cleveland's message has set them in | motion. Failures, distress in business, no employment for laboringmen, starva- | tion and kindred evils are their doleful | tunes. That is all that can be expected | from partisan papers. An endorsement | of a democratic tariff policy in a re. | publican sheet would naturally be al curiosity—a genuine freak worthy of a | place in a dime museum. EE Tue Loudon Standard offers the fol. | lowing criticism of the proposed Wilson | tariff bill and Cleveland's message en. | dorsing it: “From our point of view, in spite of | Mr, Cleveland's friendly attitude ows | Vine aa gt i the proposed new tariff as the work of | Its natural consequence is | ard England, we might almost an enemy. to create a new competitor for our bus. experience and the benefit of cheap raw inaterials may lead to better things in other directions.” Thisisa frank admission that this country, with free raw materials, will be able to enter the foreign markets and be a strong rival of our English neigh. bors. This does not indicate the down. fall of our manufacturing industries. ——————— ; Commercial Trinmph, If a hint from an official source be founded on fact President Cleveland has succeeded in accomplishing some. thing that will make his administration one of the most distinguished in American history and one of the most popular, in making a new treaty with China, under which the government of China agrees to purchase annually silver produced by American mines to the value of 250.000,000—-about our entire product—and to throw its markets open to our manufacturers. It has been the dream of Earopean statesmen for many years to get the valuable Chinese trade for their respective countries, and if President Cleveland has succeeded he has gained the greatest international commercial triumph of the century, one worth untold wealth to the people of the United States, and one that will soon give us the commercial supremacy of the world, Received Mis Plane, Osborne M. Hanna drove from Cross Forks to Westport, a distance of twenty- three miles for the purpose of taking home with him a plano he had ordersd from New York, evidently in answer to an advertisement stating that such an instrument would be sent for one dol. lar. much disgusted when a five pound box was handed to him.

HOW TO OBTAIN BEST RESULT. | THE With Mi'eh Cows nt Resunlt of an experiment Pennsylvania State College--Of In terest to Farmers Bulletin No. 24 of the Station, just is { sued, gives the results of an experiment | by Prof. Waters and Caldwell and Mr. | Weld upon the question of the most pro- | | fitable amount of food for a milch cow. | In these experiments, ten cows were | | fed a ration beginning with 810s. of grain and 12 lbs. of hay and gradually increas. ing up to as high as 19 Ibs. of grain and | } om 1 it AN 8. of hay per day and head and then gradually decreasing to the original | amount, Throughout the experiment, | | accurate notes were taken of the amount | of the food, the of milk produced by each animal and its butter value as determined by the Bab. | cock test, Perhaps the most striking lesson of t liberal and cost amount the experiment is the demonstration o tha sufi g the pro ives of profit there is in eeding. The cheapest ration used cost i ana f f 18.8 cts. per day is alueq § produced butter it 26.5 cents, making a net profit 7 cent An in- cents per day per cow in 5 Per pay per cow. 1} vil 38 ration made © dally ] 3 4 Wie net Lier 81 cents and { i difference avor of wr day or a {of 1.6 cents per day per cow in f | the more costly ration. In other words, | the farmer who attempted to economize | by feeding the cheaper wot | with a herd of 25 cows, save $217 bills, but ration year on his feed woul $337.00 worth of butter that he have produced with the more ration, so that his illjudged attempt at | {economy would result in a net loss of | $120.00, The cheaper ration, moreover, is what would ordinarily be considered a good | ration, and the majority of dairymen | costly would be likely to feed Jess rather than | more, yel the result of this Lulletin show | conclusively that with cows as Lhese the more expensive ration was really the | more economical. A further increase of the cost of the | ration, however. (0 25.1 cents per day {gave no further incacase in the | butter product, and the net profit was | thereby cut down to 5.9 cents per day or | {1.8 cents Jess than with the cheapest | ration of the three. lu other words, the | {experiments indicate that there is a | He was aged about 84 yeurs, The fun. | certain medium ration for each cow te { which will give the grealest net profit | and that auy attempt to economize by feeding less than this will result in al { loss, while, on the other hand, it is pos. | sible to feed a cow too much as well as too little. Generally, however, there is more danger of feeding too little than too much. | | The experi-pent also brings out in a | striking light the great individ ual differ. { ences in cows and the great importance of a careful study by the dairyman of each individual of his herd, both as re. gards the amount of milk and butler produced and the cost of feed consumed, | The net profit yielded by each one of | the ten cows used in this experiment | the wmadicm riian wl TREC NT Te | was tha sractoet rn Tm whale gat amare Pia on —— | but it varied in amount from cents per day to 24 cents per day, equivalent, for a milking period of 3% days, to $6.60 and $72.00 respectively. The increased profit coming from the better feeding, too, varied greatly with different animals, some responding promptly and freely to the increase, while on others it produced but little effect. The figures of the bulletin show like. { wise what great differences in profit | there may be between cows producing very nearly the same total amount of { milk and butter per year. For example, the records show that last year Marguerite prpdoced 5450 Ibs, of | milk and 206 ibs. of quitter.
