TURPBHTINE AND BENSINE.-Three
years ago turpentine could be purchased
at prices ranging from thirty TO forty-five
cents per gallon, according TO quality, and
it was then extensively employed for mix
ing with paint-as a drier-and in the
manufacture of burning fluid, composed
of four parts alcohol to one of camphene
purified turpentine. AT present the
price of tupentine is three dollars per gal
Ion, and it is but little used. Burning
fluid, which was very dangerous sub
stance, has happily gone out of use, and
benzinc-the light eupion oil, derived from
petroleum-has taken the place of tur-
pentine ms paint mixer 1t is stated
that it is superior to turpentine for this
purpose. AS its price does not exceed
that of turpentine at its lowest figure, it is
a subject of congratulation that it forms
such an excellent substitute for it, But
beside the uses stated OF turpentine, it
was also very extensively employed as a
solvent for resins and asphaltum, in the
manufacture of varnishes. In this de-
partment of industry, its place has also
been supplied by benzine, which, altho'
not quite so good, answers very well for
the purpose. The oil springs of Penn
sylvania have, therefore, not only been Of
vast benefit and advantage in supplying
the cheapest burning fluid ever brought
into use, but also in providing painters
and manufacturers Of varnishos with a
cheap substitute for turpentiue. Scien-

GOING HOME.
ny EDWARD a. DARNES.

There are many incidents and express
ions in the routine of daily life, which
though they may seem simple at first,
and may come from childish lips, where
they considered in the light of compari-
son, would be like great spiritual use to
us, and cast a halo of like beauty over
our pathway. The following is one of
these, and is productive of greater profit,
spiritually speaking, than my pen can
portray:
so you are going home, are you, Lu-
luz" | asked little child, the daughter
of one of my acquaintances, who with her
aunt, had been spending few days at
at my city home. l was standing with
my little friend under shady tree, just
before the appearance of the carriage
which was to convey my visitor to the
wharf.
"Oh, yes, and | am so glad" she re-
piled, her sunny face beaming with de-
light as she spoke.
"But where is your home, Lulu| l
said, playfully.
"On the other side of the river" she
replied, with sweet smile, meaning the
Hudson, over whose bosom she was to
cross that night in the steamer.
''But don't YOU feel afraid something
will happen to prevent your reaching the
other side in safety?" continued, becom-
ing interested in the conversation.
"Oh, no, not in the least. | have
faith in these noble steamers, and were
the river ever so wide, l should not feel
afraid to trust myself in them"
My little friend spoke with great spirit,
for she was indeed a great lover of that
mode of travel. Her enthusiasm pleased
me, apd continued:
"Lulu, YOU know that have no little
girl like you to brighten my home. Now
won't you let your aunty go home with
out yon and you stay with mel" l look
ed down at her face to notice what effect
my words would have, and in a moment
after felt sorry l had spoken as l did,
for her blue eyes filled with tears aud her
voice trembed as she answered:
"Oh, indeed, / cannot. Mama would
feel so badly if l should, and papa would
miss me very much. And then my homo
is so beautiful; you have never been there
long enough at time to sec how nice it
is."
"But isn't my homo, beautiful, Lulu I"
l asked, looking with mingled pride and
pleasure at the stately mansion behind
us, and also the large green lawn in
which we stood, interspersed with beds
of flowers and noble trees.
"Oh, yes" she replied quickly, "but
you know your home is in great city,
and mine is in the country, whore the
robins sing their sweet songs, and every
thing is SO quiet. / had rather hear the
sounds of our little waterfall than the
grand music Of the opera, and had rath-
er wander in our woods gathering wild
flowers, than to walk through your
crowded streets. You remember when /
was hero before, don't you!"
AS Lulu spoke these last words she
raised her face to mine to see if | recolect-
ed the time. l did, and returning suit
able answer, she added:
"Well, at the wharf there was so
much noise and confusion that l was
frightened, and clung tightly to papa
And when at last the steamer moved
away, | felt that was leaving some
noisy wicked place, and going over the
river to my home where all was quiet aud
peaceful

The Profit of Keeping Poor Cows.

There must be some great profit in
keeping poor mixers, or else the majority
of farmers do not know where their prof
il lies. Shrewd men do not maintain
cows that give little and poor milk, in
preference TO those that give much and
rich milk, unless they see advantage in
it. Many such animals are raised and
grow old upon the farms. If there be
no profit, then these farmers are not men
Of sense, but we know they are sensible
men, so there must be, rs we conclude,
some decided profit in this way of stock
ing a dairy farm. We shall be much
obliged if some one will show to Us ex-
actly wherein this profit lies. In all our
observation wo never knew farmer who
set out TO stock his farm with first rate
mich-stock, that did not succeed. With
proper care in selecting, every herd of
COWS in the country may average, Oh good
feed, 500 gallons of milk per annum. Is
olated cases OF cows that give 1000 gal
Ions are not very rare.
In letter recently received from Mr..
A. Niles, Of Hampshire Co., Mass, he
says: 81 became convinced, years ago,
that it was poor economy for a farmer to
keep poor cows" This may seem strange
to some farmers, but Mr.. Niles asserts it
without naming the reasons which influ-
enced him, and proceeds to give the re-
suits of putting his convictions in practice,
as follows: "I have been trying for a
length of time to practice according TO
my theory, by disposing of all ordinary
COWS, and supplying their places with 9th
ers, and | am now quite satisfied with my
course. From 4 cows have made and
sold since April lst 700 lbs. of butter, at
&c cents per lb., and raised in part upon
the milk of the same cows, fine heifer
calves, from stock on both sides. | call
the calves worth at least $40 each, and
the milk we gave to the hogs worth at
least as much as the keeping of the calves
besides the milk. One of the cows is now
about calving, and hope to make from
her, before the first of April next, 100
lbs. more of butter, making, in all, 800
lbs. during the year, from cows-being
200 lbs. from each cow. Calling the
calves, as above, $40 each, $40; but
ter, 500 lbs, 20 cents per b., $3.50; to-
tai, 5000, or $50. Their keeping in sum
mer was common pasture; in the month
of April, hay, with one feed of mangel
wurzes. Olher farmers may do better
with better feed."-Am. Agricultmist.

LOOK Our FOR HEbP.-It is rather TO
be hoped than expected, that the scarcity
OF farm help, experienced last year, will
be alleviated this, by the early return of
the stalwart yeoman who left the field of
industry for the field of battle. At best
they cannot participate in the spring
work. 1t therefore behooves all employ
ers to look out in season for needed help.
When a reliable man can be secured, loso
no time in engaging him. Good help is
cheaper at high wages, than inexperienced
or careless hands at the lowest rate, and
an unimportant difference Of price should
not prevent bargain with one known to
be trustworthy. 1t may be necessary for
many to employ green hands. The sooner
they are found and set to work, the bet
ter. Fortunately an immense increase of
immigration is partly supplying the de-
mand for laborers. Many who are now
leaving the old countries have practiced
the modes Of farming rs conducted there,
and if properly trained, will soon become
familiar with American ways. The en-
ployers in a township where many hands
are needed, might pro6tably engage
suitable agent TO look out for the requir-
cd number from the Germans, Irish, and
others now flocking into this city and 9th
or Ports of Entry. lie will need to be
man of considerable address, or the sub
stitute brokers will secure them by the
ship-load, to be retaiIed out at heavy
profit, as has occurred heretofore. In
many cases good help might be obtained
through tho services Of those having
friends across tho Atlantic, to whom they
would at once write upon application.
Labor-saving machinery may be now
introduced upon thousands of farms with
especial advantages. The mower and
reaper, grain-hcader, horse-hoe, horse
rake, hay-spreader and horse-pitchfork,
should be secured at every practicable
point. Cutivators will do well TO look
out for these and other needed implements
before the busy season comes on. Last
wear many were unable to procure them,
through the unprecedented demand which
exceeded the ability of manufacturers to
supply. Our advertising columns will in
dicate where to send for catalogues and
other information concerning the various
rmplemonts.---Ap,. AgricH'tpyiSt.
