Importance Of the Dairy Interest.

THE dairy interest of the United States
is becoming of vast importance The pres.
ent product of cheese is supposed to be
300000000 pounds, which, at IS cents per
pound, amounts to $45,000,000; and OF
butter 575,000,000 pounds, which at %
cents per pound, amounts to $125,500,000
with 100000000 gallons of milk sold in
cities and towns, and 60,000,000 gallons
consumed in families where produced
worth 50, 100000 making together dairy
product of $216750000
But if we examine this great interest in
detail, we shall be surprised that the pro
duct is so small. The number of cows
now is not probably less than 100000
(the number in 1860 was S,72S,9 If We
suppose 5,000,On0 cows devoted to the pro
duction of butter, it would give only III
pounds per cow; and 100000 COWS de
voted to the production of cheese, only 20C
pounds per cow; 100000 cows for the pro
duction of milk consumed in cities and in
the families of producers; leaving 1900,
600 cows in the Western and Southwestern
States devoted simply to raising stock.
twill be seen that the product of buttel
and cheese is not more than half what il
should be with proper attention TO breed
ing and feeding In proof of this, we have
only to cite the report of the First Collins
Cheese Factory of Erie county, N Y, fol
1869, where the average from 730 cows
was 420 pounds of cheese per COW; ant
200 TO 300 pounds of butter is a common
yield for good, well-fed cows. This rem
dcrs it evident that the dairy interest re-
quires radical improvement-that instead
6f producing $216,750,000, it should poul
a golden stream of $5O0,000,000 into the
farmers treasury. BH8alo Lice Stoc5

The Value Of a Serap.BoOk.

EVERY one who takes a newspaper,
which he in the least degree appreciates,
will often regret to see any one number
thrown aside for waste paper which con-
tains some interesting and important arti-
clcs A good way to preserve these is by
the use of scrap-book. One who has
never been accustomed thus to preserve
short articles, can hardly estimate the
pleasure it affords to sit down and turn
over the pleasant and familiar pages Here
a choice piece of poetry meets the eye,
which you remember you were so glad to
see in the paper but Whit n you would long
since have lost had it not been for your
scrap-bOok There is witty anecdote--it
does you good to laugh over it yet, though
for the twentieth time. Next is a valua-
BILE recipe you had almost forgotten, and
which you have found just in time TO save
much perpleXity. There is sweet little
story, the memory of which has che cred
and encouraged you many time when al
most ready to despair under the pressure
of life's cares and trials. Indeed, you can
hardly take up q single paper without pc
rllsing it, just glance over the sheet be
fore You, and see how many valuable items
| ii contains that would be of service to you
a hundred times in life. A choice thought
is far more precious than bit of glittering
gold Hoard with care the precious gems,
and see at the end of the year what a rich
treasure you have accumulated.

A Plea for Little Toes.

WE devoutly believe that there is not a
shoemaker in the universe who by any
means pleasantcr than the pillory could be
brought to allow space in boot to hold
the helpless little toe. We speak with the
JUNCTION Of experience We have planted a
toe on piece of paper as wide rs it would
spread, and while the shoemaker followed
the outline have conjured him 70 leave
room for that toe He never did it. Nu-
merous untarnished boots, hanging against
a wall, bear expressive witness TO the in
humanity and utter lack of anatomical
knowledge in shoemaking men. No won
der a young girl out West had her little
toes chopped OFF And no wonder the young
lady in Hartford had such sore toes on her
wedding day that she could not stand up
to be married The only wonder is that
our women stand up at all, much more that
they walk, which, by the way, they do more
badly than any women under the sun eX-
cept the Chinese We used to pity the
poor Chinese women, but have transferred
our compassion to our own country-wo-
men. Look at them as they pass by your
window some bright dayl The wretched
fiction of a "Grecian bend" the more
wretchcd fact of laced-up lungs, cannot ac-
count wholly for that feeble teetering,
gasping walk, walk utterly devoid of vi
tality elasticity or grace; but looking
down at the wretched little boot, with its
French heel, bringing the whole weight OF
the body ON the toes, explains il all. And
this poor creature, with campcd nerves
and muscles, partial and feeble of circula-
ton, is to be the mother of men! Whew
The ungarnished fact is that American
women are fast becoming nation of Grip
pies. Nothing can prevent their growing
to be such, unless there is an entire and
radical change in the shape Of their shoes.
Girls, respect the rights of your little toes.
If you don't they will turn and rend you.

About Manures.


AT a late discussion of manures at the
London Farmerss Club the following,
among other conclusions, were generally
concurTed IL.
Ifmanure Is taken directly from the yard
and plowed under, IL is handled but once,
loses nothing In the escape of ammonia,
because no fermentation has taken place,
and is not injured at all by heating
Covered two or three inches, 1t is soon
In warm and moist condition, so that fer
mentation readily takes place and gases are
given off These are arrested by the soil,
as are also its juices, and are not only In a
STATE of readiness to be taken up by the
roots of plants, but act in double ca.
pacity by becoming food themselves, and
acting upon other materials until they br
come So.
In applying 1t In green state, much OF
il will be in coarse condition, but ferDlen
tation and the action of frost will tend IL
pulverize il, so that a second blowing will
usually incorporate IL pretty thoroughly
with the soil With these advantages
then, we have no hesitation in recommend
ing this course with all the manure that
can be applied in the autumn. If comrpst
ed with any substance that will divide a.
wet manure, so that it can be made some
what fine, then we would put it under il
the spring as early as the condition of tho
soil would permit.
For these and other reasons which might
be urged, we are clearly of the opinion
that so far as we can make it convenient
IL is best to put all the manure we can un
der ground in its fresh and crude condition
and cover it not more than three inches a

How Scarlet Fever is Spread.

The enormous mortality from scarlet
fever which appears in the Registrar Gen
erals mortality bills is now a constant and
increasing quantity. 1t is assuming pro-
portions which are alarming; not the less
so, because they are increased by individu-
al careleSsness. 1t has ALWAYS been a
source of great mortality; and, in the alb
sence of any means of checking its pro-
gress, such as we possess in vaccination
for smallpox, and by attention to the water
supply and drainage for cholera and some
forms of pythogenic fever, it becomes the
more necessary accurately to investigate
the means by which it is spread. These
may be summed UP chiefly in few words
1t is spread by personal carelessness, by
neglect, and by recklessness of individuals
as to the public safety. Scarlet fever is
propagated from person to person by culpa-
bic Ignorance and criminal neglect. Clean
illness and general sanitary regulations are
of use in mitigating the severity of the
disease, but are no bar to its propagation
Let us take the experience of one London
physician during the past week, and it will
easily explain how scarlet fever is now
being spread. He tells us that he has be-
come cognizant of the following cases dur
ing that time; Travelling by rail, he was
requested not to put down the window, as
little boy in the carriage was not very
well. The boy was ON his way home from
a school where scarlet fever had broken
out; and, on examining him, the eruption
was fully evident. A clergyman brought
into his room lad, not to consult
him about the lad, but inadvertently.
He was about to take him into the
country. This lad had lust recovered
Gnnrlnf in, no Il
quamitive stage of Cunvalesence shedding
about those scales which are so highly in
fectiOus, and are enough TO poison the
whole population. His washer-woman had
scarlet fever in her family; she ascertained
that it was conveyed by the clothing of
scarlet-tever patient sent by the friends to
the wash without any caution. These are
all acts of the most culpable and danger
ous negligence Scarlet fever is one of the
most intensely and continuously contagi-
GUS diseases. Till the completion of the
subsequent process of peeling of the skin,
the patient, his clothing and discharges,
and the light scales which are diffnsed in
the atmosphere from his peeling surface
skin, are pregnant with poison Not only
should he be carefully isolated; not only
should his clothing and all that comes in
contact with him be carefully and thor
Oughly diSinfected; not only should his
body be mnointed as Dr. Budd has re-
commended, with oil to limit the aerial
diffusion of the epidermal scales; but the
utmost care should be exercised by the
persons attending him not to become car.
riers of this virulent and subtle poison.
To send to the laundress garments fatal as
those of Dejanirl, to expose in a public
carriage or crowded waiting-room the
fertile sources of deadly and volatile
poison, are terrible offences against the pub
lie safety. They are constantly and care.
lessly committed and it is thus that scar
latina is spread British Medical JoalRal

Affecting Incidents.

THE late terrible floods at Harper's Ferry
developed much individual heroism. The
Rev. Dr. Dutton and family lived in brick
house on Herrs Island. On the Friday
night the foundation of his house began to
give way, and stepping out into the hall, he
was struck with a falling timber and fell
senseless to the floor. Mrs. Dutton sig
nailed to the house Immediately opposite,
n strong building, and from second story
rope was thrown to her. She tied this
around one of the servant girls, and she
was drawn acros the street to the next
house through water fifteen feet deep. The
rope was returned, the other servant sent
over in the same manner, then the still un-
conscious husband, and last the heroic wife
herself crossed the perilous flood after she
had seen all her household safely over.
James Shipe, of Overton's Island, took
his wife, to whom he had but five months
been welded, on his back and swan with
the food, hoping to strike tree or some
other safe refuge. After struggling for
five hundred yards he caught by the water
tank, on Halls Island, and at least ten
times he endeavored to get hold of ii, but
the waves washed him away His wife en-
treated him to let her go and save himself
You are not prepared TO die, my dear
husband, and trust that am, were her
words He next caught the branches of n
floating tree, on which he supported him
self for few minutes, and lifting up his
wife's head, which he had been unable to
keep above the water, he found that she
was dead,

Duration Of Life in the Lower Animals.

The Democrats and the Public
Schools.

THE Democratic School Board of Louis,
vile, Kentucky, recently directed that
McDonald's Southern School History OF
the United States written by the princi
pal of the Louisville High School, an ex-
officer in the rebel army, and published by
an eX rebel firm in Baltimore, should be
substituted as textbook in the
schools, for Anderson's Pictorial School
History of the United States" which had
been decTied as a Radical work. The
character and spirit of this school-book,
from which, by Democratic appointment
the children of Louisville are to learn the
history of their country may be inferred
from the following extract. The author,
speaking of the massacre of the Union sol.
diers in Baltimore, and of what followed,
says; 600
The defiance of Baltimore excited the
liveliest resentment in the North The
streets were posted with placards, calling
for troops, and headed Vengeance upon

Suds, using hot water; when II is cold,
wash the skins it, carefully squeezing them
between the hands to get the dirt out of

clean cold water; now dissolve alum and
salt, each half pound, with q little hot
water which put in tub of cold water
sufficient to cover two skins, and let them
soak in it over night, or 10 hours then
hang over pail to drain. When they are
well drained spread or stretch carefully

Let patriots stand by their country in her

tal journals declared that the Southerners
were dcgencrated that the men were COW

and Jodded soith .je,oels. Booty and Beaatv
was one of the watch-words of the hour.r
Here we have the wretched falsehood of
Beauregard's Manassas proclamation offered
as history, and serving the same purpose
Tor which 1t was originally uttered, namely,
to inflame civil hatred. And as il TO show
that the sympathy with rebellion is as
timid as II is positive, IL is alleged, when
objection Is made, that this history is used
in the schools only as far as the account of
the late war
The consequences of the adoption Of
such textbooks are but too evident They
are placed in the hands of children at the
most ductile and unsuspioious age, and
their entire feeling toward the government
of their country is colored by them The
story subterfuge of saying that certain
part of the book is not taught is merely
contemplate. II is furnished to the schoos
by Democratic direction as the history of
the country, and the child reads that the
rising of the people to save their govern
ment was stimulated by the basest appeal

necessary result is to implant hatred of the
government, and to foster the spirit from
which the rebellion spang. 1t is another
indication of the essentially and radically
disorganizing tendency of the Democratic
party. 1t can not forgive the victory of
the Union and of liberty. 1t will not ac-
cept the situation, and acquiesce in the
conditions which are indispensable to the
repose of the country.
Meanwhile the spirit which writes and
the party which adopts such a history as
this calls itself the conciliatory spirit and
the conservative party. But every fresh
fact shows that il conciiates nothing but
disafiection, and preserves only malig-
nant jealousy of fidelity to the Union. Its
coneiliation and conservatism in national
affairs are exactly as evident as its honesty
and economy in the municipal management

The Adventures of a Draft.
WASHINGTON. October 16

WASHINGTON, October 16.
The following curious incident has,
within few days, come TO the notice ofthe
War Department A Quartermaster sta
toned in New Mexico had occasion to
draw check on the Sub-Treasury to the
order of commissary officer, in payment
for certain articles The latter paid il out
to beef contractor, who indorsed it to a
creditor who came from Texas, The last
mentioned gentleman returned to his home,
and was captured and murdered by q band
of Indians belonging 10 two different
tribes. The Indians, as is customary with
them, divided their spoils between the
members of the two tribes and separated,
going in different directions The check,
supposed by them to be of value, was di-
vided with the rest of the plunder, and
each party carried half of it, In the
course of time scouting expedition fell
in with one of the bands of Indians and
accidentally obtained half of the check,
and finding it in good preservation took
care of it. Another party of scouts, one
or two hundred miles away, about the same
time, captured the other band of Indians
with their half check uhinjured, The two
pieces were forwarded TO the same army
headquarters, there pasted together and
have been forwarded from thence TO- the
War Department, where the adventurous
check now awaits an owner
