FAMINE SHADOWED INDIA. BY EDWARD S. HUME. For Twenty-five Years an American Resident of Bombay. Having just returned from India, I have read the account! of the famine in American pa pen, I have seen the picture, i have seen tiio conditions In the famine districts, and I ean assure you that the actual state of affairs is much more terrible than painted or pictured. And the worst of it Is that, even if the June rains are entirely favorable, na relief can le expected till the erop is gathered In October. Famine photographs frequently represent half starv ed and dying persons lying on the street or in some field. They are poor but self respecting people, who have never been the objects of public charity HUNGER KILLED WOMAN, and have refused to go to famine relief camps until at last death has stared them in the face, and unbearable distress lias driven them out in soareh of help. Weary and hungry, they have laid themselves down to rest and have died before waking. Not Ion;- before leaving India, while walking with a brother missionary at Ahmodabad, not far from Ids house, he pointed to a tree at the roadside and said: "The ether day 1 saw the emaciated figure of n man lying, fa lown, under that trie. On going near and touching the body 1 found it already stiff and cold. Examining it more cnrefuliy, 1 found one side torn away, evidently eaten by Jackals. A couple of reds away lay ' riwdoo pa as a nt womas ix happy Tims, tlons are opened. Doctors are sent to them; serum, Instruments and everything needed for efficient work are pro vided, but the Hindoo! have Dot taken kindly to tills remedy. All kinds of wild rumors have been spread and have been widely believed to the effect Chat inoculation is most harmful; that it has been devised by the European Igoctors to punish the Hindoos for supposed disloyalty and as a mear.l f,,r destroying caste. In view of tills the government offers two days' wages to every man. woman or child who Is Inoculated. 1 know a little fellow years old, whose mother died and w hose father Is n helpless invalid. Hearing that money was paid to ev ry person who was willing to be Inoculated, this poor I ; 1 1 WES RESCUED FAMINE 0IRL8. little lad presented himself at one of the Inoculation stations. As soon as his arm WHS healed be went to another station, and this tiling went on until the Mxr boy had actually been inoculated live times In each arm for the si cents be received and with which be supported himself and father for six weeks. The government has already expended more than MT.006,000 In the free distribution of food to those who are unable to work and in employing the ablebodled at cash wagea In tin nstruetlon of reservoirs, irrigation dttcbea and other public works that will mitigate future droughts. In addi tion, there are generous and splendidly organized systems of private charity, the funds being supplied from every part of the civilised world and man aged chiefly by American and Europe an missionaries of long experience In India. It is the duty and privilege of every one to have some share In this sacred work of humanity. Gifts may Ih sent to Brown Bros, & r., 69 Wall street. New York, treasurers of the committee of one hundred; William E. Dodge, chairman, and Dr. L. T. Cham berlain, executive director, by whom they will be cabled promptly to the responsible sad r preventative Amer-Ico-Indlan relief committee, under the chairmanship 1 f United states Consul William 11. Fee. nt Bombay, with the veteran miss,. .nary. Robert A. Ill) as executive secretary. The New York committee of one hundred en India famine relief co-operates with committees of the same name in Rwton, New Haven. Haiti more. V.'r. -ton. Indianapolis and other cltl - 1 f which has charge of the woi it Its own section. The committee ki . thai on receipt of n (metal addressed "Committee -f ne Hundred. 7:i Bible House, New York." famine CULDUl ysjOM WNsM supplies of illustratc'l literature are sent without charge and expressage free. The help of Individuals, dubs, lodges, Inlxir unions, employers, proprietors of hotels and summer resorts, churches. Sunday schools, young people's socie ties. King's Daughters, etc.. is earnestly sought In distributing this free liter ature. Many who will lend a hand In this way can aid the cause as much as If they were able to draw a handsome check themselves. the dead body of an infant. A little lflirther on was found a woman, still Ive. She was the wife of the man anil mother "f die child. She. too, poor thing, died before she could reach the poorhouae, which stood within Bight and call of the spot where these pa tient, helpless ones bad fallen down to die." A starving man Is devoid of Judg ment and of most of ids natural feel- lings. In April we received a group of I famine girl. Among them was one who, although much emaciated, began to improve from the day she came to us. After a week she rapidly grew I worse, in spite of everything that could lie done for her she soon died. We learued nt last that While she was ho ill that we were giving her a few spoonfuls of nourishment at a time, raising her gently, iieoanse she seemed unable to make any effort to help hcr- Iself, and even later, when she seemed I unable to see or to speak, she had been dragging herself at Intervals, when WS I Were absent, out Into the garden, a ills- Itanee of BO yards, In order to get some green mangoes to eat. For the poor famine Child they were deadly poison. She knew it, but the awful gnawing In her stomach made prudence impossible. The only affective preventive to Ithe spread of plague that has yet been discovered Is Inoculation with plague Iserum. W herever an outDreaa or me 'disease la imminent. Inoculation sta- tJUL yr"'-'f I BUTTER-MAKING HIKTS. If They Arr Followed Closely aa Possible n ;m! Article i sure to Result. The first and foremost essential is absolute cleanliness, and this uppliei to the cow stable, the milk-pails, milk-pans and ail other utensils, the milk room, etc. When the mill: is brought In, strain it as soon as pos sible, tilling each milk-pan half full. If the milk-room is very near i.c kitchen or other living rooms, place newspapers over the pans to keep oul the dust. ! not break Into the cream if it can lie avoided, and do not let the milk go over three days wi'.ii mit skimming. Put the cream in a large stone j- and mix it over well each time fresh cream is added. Keep the dish itl rather warm situation if possible: f! degrees Fahrenheit is about right. Empty Into the churn whenever tin jar is full and after the churn has lie come half filled churn the' cream intc butter. In cold weather the proe may he quickened by setting tin churn and all in a dish pan of hot va ter. In churning, let the strokes be firm and even, and do not leave off until the butter lias come. The butter should be gathered in a wooden hi w and quickly worked over to dissolve the salt and eliminate tin- butter milk. Then it may stand for a few hours, when it should receive its fill., working over. A few dipperftlls cold water should next be added ti help dissolve the salt and to get tin butter into shape for packing. The main point of mixing the butler Is I make it of a good consistency for pul ling' in the jars: it should not he worked over too long or the sal grains will cut the globules, tlnu making it sticky, llutler should hi worked over at a temperature ol about 60 degrees. A higher temper:: ture causes it to be soft, while a low er one makes it "mealy." in winter, if the butter is not of a good, rich color, do not hesitate to put a teaspoonful or two of some first-class butter coloring in with the cream, before churning, as the liquid is perfectly harmless and will add much to the- selling qualities of the butter. Many people will not buy un less it is colored to just sut'h a shade. Fresh, clean dtiiry butter is some thing t lint will always bring a good price, and anyone who follows the pursuit will tind that It pays if car ried on intelligently. Poor butter is a drug In the market, but anyone tan soon learn to produce first-eluss but ter, just by exercising a certain amount of care, common sense and perseverance. Ohio Farmer. BARNYARD ADJUNCT. Aa Open Shelter Which la Jaat a rue ful la inter aa Darius the So in in rr Seaaoa. No one knows until he has had ex perience with such an open shed at the side of his barnyard how ver necessary such a shelter is for the farm animals. The cows can lie there AN ALL-TEAR SHELTER, during summer nights after being driven in from the pasture, thus be ing secure from showers or storms at night. The sheep can be fed there during the winter. A farm team can drive in under its shelter if caught in a shower. The expense of building such a shed is small, indeed, com pared with the benefits to be derived from it. N. Y. Tribune. Sale f Immature Calves, A law that would prohibit the sale of calves for food before they arc three months old would put an end to "bob" veal and lead to Improve ment of stock, for the reason that if farmers were compelled to feed their calves to the Bge of three months they would then give some attention to breeding in order to derive as much as possible from the calves. The scrub bull would soon become useless under such a system, and the farmers would find the change great ly In their favor. Many of the Infant calves are sold when but three days old nnl are then unfit for human food. Prairie Farmer. Milk r lei da the Pratt. In the dairy profit must come out of the milk and milk alone. Beef should not be considered. It hardly pays the dairyman to feed an nuim.il ten or twelve years in order to sell for beef when at the outside three years' feeding should be sufficient to mature and finish for market a beef animal. Feed the rlairy cow for milk nnd consider the returns from the milk as the profits, and when the ani mal fails as a dairy cow sell to the best advantage, considering what is received as so much gain. Itural World. i ttoWS save Lobar. An exchange well illustrates the im portance of long rows by trl'.ing of rl western farmer who had plowed lanq 100 rot's v ide and a lialf-iuile lone. He maJe three fields, each U rods wide nn5 160 rods long. When planted in corD lis found that his man eouldeultlvate it the long way of the row In three days, whils if fc'oing the other way there was four days' work. Just one day extra was spent in turning around at the end three times us often. I f, ..jsrf-'i i":: ...

The Democratic national committee met after the adjournment of the con vention and re-elected Senator Jones, of Arkansas, as chairman. The silver Republican convention to day unanimously nominated William J. Bryan for president, and then Charles A. Towne made a speech in which ho said he believed it his duty to support the ticket nominated by the Demo cratic convention. The convention then delegated the vice presidential nomi nation to the national couiuaittce. The committee met tonlfrht and declare Adlal K. Stevenson the nominee of the party for vice president.
