Mr. E. H. Libby has recently become Editor of 
the “Farmer’s Review,” of Chicago, and will have a 
wide field at the West for enterprise and the activity he 
enjoys. There is abundant room in this broad agricul¬ 
tural country of ours for every man able to do anything 
towards elevating and promoting the great farming in¬ 
terests. The only strife or competition should be to see ■ 
who can do the best work for the cause he would serve. 
Tlie Fiftli Annual Dog Show.- The Bench 
Show which closed at the American Institute Building 
in N. Y. City on April 29th, was a very fine one. If these 
shows will develop an improvement in our canine pets 
and protectors—and we see no better way of doing it— 
time and money will not be thrown away upon them. 
Bench Shows are certainly growing in interest, and it is 
hoped in importance. Anything that will give the far¬ 
mer, the villager, and the dweller in the city, a more in¬ 
telligent, more handsome, and more useful dog is to be 
encouraged. In the next issue we hope to give our 
readers an engraving of a group of the first-prize dogs, 
in some of the many classes, at this Show, which closes 
too late for insertion in the present number. 
Bottles for Milk.— For the delivery of milk in 
cities, etc., glass bottles are rapidly coming into use. 
The milk is placed in the bottles at the farm where it is 
produced, closed with a glass stopper which has a strong 
spring clamp to hold it tight, and in this form is de¬ 
livered to the consumer, without chance of any contam¬ 
ination, or of being robbed of its cream while in transit. 
The Warren Glass Works Co., Cumberland. Md., have 
given special attention to the making of bottles for this 
new form of milk delivery, and it is not easy to see how 
anything can be better suited to the purpose. Milk in 
such bottles looks so much better, that we are not sur¬ 
prised that the purchaser is willing to pay more for it 
than for that delivered in the old careless way with can 
and dipper, in which at each delivery the milk is ex. 
posed to the all-pervading street dust, and the dust which 
collects upon the ladle, is each time washed off into the 
can. The bottles are of beautifully clear glass, and 
present such an attractive appearance that housekeepers,, 
we have no doubt, will be tempted to use them frequent¬ 
ly for other purposes than to hold milk.
