A PRETTY WoMAN-The subjoined waif
we have discovered in an exchange:
A pretty woman is one of the s'institu-
tions" of the country an angel in dry goods
and glory. She makes sunshine, blue sky,
Fourth of July, and happiness wherever
she goes. Her path is one of delicious
roses, perfumes and beauty. She is a
sweet poem, written in rare curls and choice
calico, and good principles. Men stand up
before her as SO many admiration points, to
melt into cream and then butter. Her
words float round the ear like music, birds
of Paradise, or the chimes of Sabbath bells.
Without her, society would lose its truest
attraction, the church its firlnest reliance,
and young men the very best of comforts
and company. Her influence and generosi-
ty restrain the vicious, strengthen the weak,
raise the lowly, fanncl-shirt the heather,
and strengthen the faint-hearted. Where
ever you find pleasant fireside boquets,
clean clothes, order, good living, gentle
hears music, light and model 'institutions"
generally. She is the flower of humanity,
very Venus in dimity, and her inspiration
is the breath of Heaven.

The Crops Abroad.

The best authorities support the opinion
that the wheat crop of England will reach
a full average this year. AT the same
time it is not by any means anticipated
that prices will be depressed much below
the present level. The crop in France is
below the average, and evidently much of
the grain shipped from the Azof viii find
It's way to Marseilles instead of Liverpool.
The only country in a position to ship
largely is America, and We presume our
farmers may expect demand for whatev-
er they are able to export. Very unfavor-
able accounts have been received of the po-
tato crop in England, though as yet the
actual losses from disease are said to be
trifing certainly not in excess of last
year. The yield of barley is good, though
some is unfit for mailing on account of the
harvest rains. Oats, beans and peas are of
a large growth. both as to quantity and
quality. The second crop of hay has turn
ed out large; and as the first cut was by
far the largest ever recollected. there will
be no want of good feed during the next
eight months. As to Ireland and Scot
land, the greater portion of the crops had
been secured at our last advices, and re-
port speaks favorably of this yield

Facts About MfIk. .

Cream cannot rise through a great depth
of milk. If, therefore, milk is desired to
retain its cream for time, it should be
put into a deep narrow dish land if it be de-
sired to free it most completely of cream,
it should be poured into broad fiat dish,
not much exceeding one inch in depth
The evolution of cream is facilitated by a
rise, and retarded by depression of tenn
perature. AT the usual temperature of the
dairy-ffty degrees ofFahrenheit-all the
cream will, probably rise in nthirty-six hours
but in seventy degrees it will rise in half
that time; and when the milk is kept near
the freezing point, the cream will rise very
slowly, because it becomes solidifed.
In wet and cold weather the milk is less
rich than in dry and warm. and on this ac-
count less cheese is obtained in cold than
in warm though not in thundery weather.
The season has its effects. The milk is
supposed to be the best for drinking in the
spring, hence it would be the best for
calves; in summer it is best for cheese; and
and in autumn the butter keeping is better
than that of summer. The cows less fire.
quently MIXED give richer milk, and, con
sequently, more butter. The mornings
milk is richer than evenings. The last
drawn of each milking, at all times and
and seasons, is richer than the first drawn,
which is the poorest.
