ID. Published by the Harpers, and for sale by
Loring, Short & Harmon. This is purely an
elementary book, dealing with the descriptive
portions of the science in very pleasant and
popular way, and avoiding the most difficult
mathematical parts. 1t is eminently good
book for the field it is to occupy.
The Nea0 Vest by Charles Loring Brace, is q
readable book of something less than 400 pages,
devoted principally to California and the Pa
cific slope. 1t is temperate and just in tone,
and sometimes critical in speaking of the
faults OF society, and may be relied upon as q
good book for study or reference Putnam is

The Boston Journals correspondent, writ
ing from Vermont, and describing market
day at st. Adams, says of the dairy farmers:
They are our true arlstocracy. 1t Is their
business to turn these butter-cups and dan
delions and succulent grasses into golden
butter. A
Now we confess we didn't know before this
correspondent threw SO much light on the
subject, that the cows of Vermont would feed
on butter-cups and dandelions. We believe
they don't thus feed in Maine. They must
have peculiar breed in the Green Mountain
State, and their feeding on these yellow How
ers is what gives such a golden hue to the
butter made from them. When we used to
drive cows to pasture in our boyhood, we no
ticed that the buttercups and dandelions
were avoided by them. And we have known
COW pastures to be moved and good crop Of
buttercups secured for hay, and in pastures
too, where the feed had been short during the
season. The cows would grub up other
grasses by the roots before they would eat
green buttercuas or dandelions. In fact, we
never saw COW feed on them in the pasture.
But buttercups cut in proper season and well
cured make very good hay. If this wise cor
respondent had spoken of cowslips instead Of
buttercups and dandelions, we might have
had more confidence in his communication.
There are great many cowslips growing in
Vermont, and they have beautiful yellow
flowers which, no doubt, would give their hue

to the butter. We have never seen any cow
slips growing in Maine, and vet there may be
some in portions of the State we have never
visited. We alluded TO these plants some-
time ago and recommended the farmers TO
cultivate them. They make most excel lent
greens and come very early. There are hun
dreds of places in the vicinity of this city
where they would grow luxuriantly. They
like low grounds and the valleys of brooks,
but we have seen them grow on high land by
the roadside in Vermont. II any one would
set out few roots in a suitable place, they
would soon spread and the cultiyator would
be handsomely rewarded for his pains. We
think there are no better green's early in the
spring than cowslps.
Wequite agree with the aforesaid cores
pondent that farmers are our true aristocra-
cy. An intelligent, industrious farmer is en-
gagged in work that lies at the foundation of
ali other human industries. Without him
nation would not only grow poor, but staIve.
The earth was made to produce the food that
sustains human life, and, Il left uncultivated,
population would dwindle down to few who,
in favored localities, might live on the spon-
taneous productions of nature. We have
great respect for those who cultivate the
earth, and it has always seemed strange to US
that so many young men-even farmers
sons, flee from the country and flock to the
cities, where, ten to one, they would be more
successful in life and be more happy and re-
spectacle on farms than in stores. A very
few comparatively become wealthy in mer-
camille life, while thousands fail and become
poor and lead unhappy lives.
A young man who loves farming, as every
one ought to love such an honorable employ
ment, and settles down on well chosen land,
seldom OF never fails. His bank, the earth
always honors his drafts, and no man on earth
is more Independent, and yet it has been the
fashion and habit of many young men to look
upon the cultivation of the soil as an employ
ment ofa low grade. Strange iniatuationl
The more such notions young man harbors
the lower he places himself in the scale of
being. All useful employments in this life
are honorable. "Act well your part, there all
the honor lies"
Now, if these young men who choose the
farm as the theatre Of their operations for
life, and do not happen to have that breed of
cows which will feed on buttercups and dan-
deions, perhaps they can obtain breed that
will eat marigolds or saffron and so make
good yellow butter after all. At any rate, let
them become farmers of intelligence and good
common sense, and then they win be con-
tented in the proportion of cows that win live,
thrive and make good butter and cheese up
on such hexcellentlgrasses as clover, timothy and
redtop.
