MADAME DREYFUS.
The Londou World’s Paris correspondent bad an interview recently with Madame Dreyfus, svife of Captain Dreyfus, now confined at Devil’e Island, She is a very handsome woman, and lives in atrict se clusion with her little boy and girl, under the protection of her father, M. Adiemar, at 53 Rue de Chateaudon. She eaid she had received a ietier from ber .husband a month ago. He is allowed to write, but his letters are scrutinized by the prison otticers. The captain is well treated. He gets up early, has workto do, and is a! owed to read prison books, but be is always separated from other convicts He is pvever allowedte go on the main land.
The correspondent asked whether he knew of the efforts being made on his behalf.
Madame Dreyfus replied : “Oh, perfect- ly, and Jike us he always hopes that his insocence will soon be proved.”
The correspondent having referred tothe famous “bordereau’’ or memorandum upon which her husband was convicted,Madame
Dreyfus exclaimed vehemently: “That forgery! There was,there could be, no other document that was not, like it, a
forgery.
She enquired if the reporter would like toexamine the “bordereau.” Then she went out and brougbt a broad sheet which the family had publiced recently, headed “The Key to the Dreyfus Affair.” It ex- hibite specimens of the bandwriting of Esterhazy aod of Capt. Dreyuus. Madame Dr-yfus went over all these specimens, pointing out the similarities and disim- iarities.
The reporter asked how she accounted for the accusation against her husband. “| cannot sear; I cannot imagine,” she answered, “except that we are Israelites. Are they not ot jects of dislike and prej- udice in 9}] countries?”
Madame Dreyfus theo paid a remarkable tribute of affection to the Captain. She eaid, as husband, father, soldier, triend, he bas always been above reproach. Honor- able, gentle, kind; his life moral, his eon- duct upright. I cannot, eannot understand it. I cannot understand why he, of all men, should have been made a mark for this frightful, odious charge.”

THD LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL FOR 1898,
To make The Ladies’ Home Journal for 1898 “the best of all the years; the most cheerful and helpful magazine that a woman cau possibly have in her bome,”’ is the purpose of its editors, as disclosed by a prospectus outliaing a few of the project- ed features forthe coming year. While the Journal «vill be more useful! and prac- tical than ever before, it is made apparent that its literary features will be etrengthen- ed and that pictoria'l, it willbe more attrac- tive and artistic than ever.
A notable feature, ““The Inner Exper- iences of a Cabinet Member’s Wife, “‘a ser- ies of letters from the wife ofa Cabinet member to her sister, will, it is said, reveal some startling and graphic pen asthe of Washington eccia!l and cffizial life.

Fifty Years Ago.
This is the cradle in which there crew That thought of a philanthropic brain; A remedy that would make life new lor the multitudes that were racked with pain. ‘Twas sarsaparilla, as made, you know Ly Ayer, Some 50 years ago.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilia
was in its infancy half a cen- tury ago. To-day it doth “be- stride the narrow world like a colossus.” What is the secret of its power? Its cures! The number of them! The wonder cf them! Imitators have fol- lowed it from the beginning of its success. They are still be- hind it. Wearing the only medal granted to sarsaparilla in the World's Fair of 1893, it points proudly to its record. Others imitate the remedy; they can’t imitate the record:

fRTILK FEVER.
As to the Tiest Preventive Treatmont Be- fore and After Calving.
Several experienced dairymen give in The Rural New Yorker their opinions on the cause and prevention of milk fe- ver. They are generaliy in favor of 1g the. cow to some extent. Mr.
M. Winslow writes: I have found at the safest way to prevent milk fe- ver is to keep the cow on short diet for about ten days before calving, and for the last two or three days before calv- ing to give her but very little to eat, and after calving gradually get her back on her feed. The cow has too muc’. blood at the time of calving if she isa large milker and in fine condition, and nature cannot change the working of the system quickly enough to prevent derangement of the system. Reducing it a little at that time is a help, and I like a natural way better than to give salts.
Mr. J. W. Newton: Though we have kept cows for many years we have nev- er, so far as I can remember, had a case of milk fever @ any other trouble at calving time except retention of the afterbirth, which, I suppose, can hard- ly be called a disease. As to the treat- ment, we simply have not fed them any meal or grain except bran, neither be- fore nor after calvixg, for two or three weeks. The ideal treatment of a cow soon coming ia is to turn her into a pasture where there is plenty of feed and water, with shditered and secluded nooks in bushes. Theu the cow can take care of herself far better than any num- ber of men. Many :imes, when cur cows were coming in in September and later, a cow would be ygnissing at night, .and in the morning wedld appear with :@ fine calf. There is no treatment about iit. Of course, when it is cold or wet sxbe cows should be kept in a warm sta- ‘tiie, and when such was fhe case we al- ‘ways gave plenty of warm water to the «ow, but no medicine of any kind. I have immense faith in natnre, or rather in nature's God, and very little faith in medic nes.
Mr. Albert B. Bellwood: Milk ever results as a penalty for develeping the cow's productive capacity beyond the point nature intended. It is usually the best cows that suffer, and generally when in aflesby and plethorie aondi- tion. With such cows I find it safer to use preventive measures against milk fever than to riak its development ustil parturition. If milk fever is feared, I put the cow on a Jow diet for two weeks before she is expected to calve, keeping from her food that would tend to enrich or thicken the blood and retard its free circulation. During this time she is in- duced to take all the water she will. About ten days before calving I give one to one and a half pounds of epsom salts and as often afterward as is neces- sary to keep her bowels lax. This, to- gether with spare feeding, is continued for three or four days after calving. If the udder is much engorged, she is milked frequently before calving, and her calf is allowed to assist in softening the udder afterward. This starving treatment has a tendency to diminish the flow of milk for a time, after which liberal feeding may be safely resumed. To lose one of the best cows, however, would much more disconcert the dairy-
ai ‘
st: ©. th
inan than this temporary diminution in quite a number of his cows. If garget or congestion of the udder follows par- turition, I give the udder a good rub- bing twice a cay with linseed oil and camphor, milk two or three times a day and if a hungrv calf is handy give it @ chance.

airy and Creamers.
There is nothing more useful.on the farm than a deep well, even when it is not worth much for the water it con- tains. It takes the place of a refrigera- tor and icehouse in farmhouses where those conveniences are lacking. For
' eooling milk, cream and butter in its
dark, clear depths it is worth tans ol ice every year.
The same power that runs the sepa- rator can at the same time run the churn.
Some cows make as much butter fat from 25 pounds of milk as others do from 45, and only the Babcock test can determine which cow is which.
In a dairy where as many as eight or ten cows are kept the work pertaining to it ought not to be left entirely to the women unless strong armed dairymaids are hired on purpose for that, as in Den- mark and Sweden. Where the farm we- men have all their household work %o do and the milk of ten cows to make into butter it is too much. A baby sep- arator, machine churn and a man’s helping hand are wanted in such a case.
A cow f.d on corn fodder and corn alone will not begin to do her best asa milker, and dairymen ought to have this fact pounded into them till it be- comes stuck fast in their brains. Wheat bran or gluten meal should in all cases be added, with a small quantity of lin- seed meal a day. Gluten meal is corn with the starch taken out and is a yal- uable cow feed unless the dealer adul- terates it with chaff or corn bran or even things worse than this, or unless too much starch is left init. The nutri- tive value of gluten meal such as is purchased at the mills varies as much as 30 per cent, according as more or less starch has been left in it. When much starch remains, the nutritive value is lessened.
We do not think the home dairy and the creamery are opposed to each other. In localities where there are not cows enough to keep a creamery going the home dairy, with its clean, sweet smell- ing milkhouse and delicious golden yel- low butter and cream, finds its appro- priate place. A home dairy that hasa reputation always secures a high price for its products.
Many dairy bulls are now among the beef animals in the large city stock- yards, showing that farmers are going into beef raising. All the same, even if the dairy business in the north is get- ting to be overdone, there is plenty of rcoom for it in the south.
