Butter and Cheese.

4 great change has taken place
within few years in the price of
dairy products. Many can remember
when butter was sold for 10 cents,
and cheese for five cents per pound.
OF course, values in all other articles
have increased, particularly since the
wnr, and corresponding to the premi-
um paid for gold, but no commodity
has advanced equally with cheese and
hutter, and now probably no branch
Of farming is so profitable as the dairy
business. 1t is question for farmers
to consider whether present quota
lions are likely to hold, and whether,
rs in the case with almost every other
pursuit, high prices will not stimulate
production to such degree as to
overstock the market.
Thoughtful observers are of opin-
ion that dairy products must be an
exception to the ordinary course,
attuncd agreeably to the law Of sup
ply and demand, and that relatively,
prices will advance rather than de-
cline. The main reason for this
belief is founded upon the fact, now
well established, that the area of
grass land is limited, and that by
no skill can it be much increased :
while the extent Of country occupied
by consumers must 80 on increasing
to such an extent that the term in
definite may be used.
The dairy regions of the United
States, fixed by conditions of climate
and, in a considerable degree, by

of New England, New York, and the
northern portions of the States O.

CHARCOAL FOR HORSES, WIND.

"Many years ago, Irecollect," says
correspondent of London paper,
ga horse being brought into the yard
of Joseph Bignal, celebrated man
for keeping hunters at Croydon. The
horse was very much affected in the
wind, and could hardly move from
distress. In very few days this
animal did its regular work as hun
ter, with perfect ease and comfort to
itself. Tar water was the cure. Tar
is carbon, and charcoal is also car
bon charcoal in the powder is more
easily given than tar water, / have
tried it with most beneficial effect,
and | think it stands to reason that
the removal of noxious gases and
tiatulence from the stomach of the
horse must improve his wind and
condition. Tar is frequently given
with benefit in cases OF chronic dis
ease of the respiratory organs; but it.
effects are totally different from those
produced by charcoal (carbon.')

dairies can be devoted to this object,
since great variety of other crops
must be grown nor is any farmer in
4 condition to devote so much of his
time to the care Of cows and their
milk as the business generally de-
mands. Such, however, as are so
situated as to be able to keep diaries,
may with confidence expect still to
be handsomely rewarded; and the
pursuit has now assumed such celebr.
ity, and it has become SO systematized,
that he may expect additional re-
wards for care, cleanliness, and
whatever enters into full understand
ing of the business.
Of the relative Importance of butter
and cheese in our markets, we see by
recent statistics, that the value of
butter made last year was over $780,.
600, 900, and of cheese $50, 100000,
which will naturally surprise those
who have only general notion Of
the subject, since great deal Of
publicity has been given to cheese
factories, but little has been said of
the making of butter. The reason is,
most of the butter has been made in
private families, and no new methods
or devices have been adopted, while
in making cheese large structures
have been erected, and a species Of
CO. operation has been established.
The profits of butter making are now
greater on the whole than the profits
OF cheese making. Formerly the re-
verse was the case, which shows that
the demand and the price for butter
have increased in q remarkable de.
gree in comparison with cheese with
in few years. The success of fac.
tories for making butter seems not to
have been remarkable, although there
are some establishments which are
doing well, and it is not likely that,
at present, at least, will any new sys-
tenn be adopted. To make butter
which shall be so acceptable Us to
command the top Of the market. or
which shall ever elevate it from being
quoted as common butter" or grease
requires an uncommon amount of care
for while a stray tobacco spit in .
cheese, would not much diminish its
value, it would be certain to give the
butter strange taste, to say the
least, and at present it seems to be
the case that the more a careful, tidy,
intelligent woman exercises personal
control and supervision in the making
Of butter, the better it is likely to be.
Whether her care is of"a sympathetic
and analogous nature" as claimed by
a modern philosopher, we leave to
the consideration Of the curious

PLANT TREES.

Darwin tells that certain COM
mon in England was once fenced in,
and soon grew up to eyergreens. In
few years several species of birds
before unknown to that part Of the
island, made their home in the enclo-
sure. The increase of timber will do
more to repopulate the woods, groves
and lawns with birds, and thus help
to stay the "insect plague" than all
the laws that have been enacted for
the preservation of birds and game.
There is one other reason for
planting trees, and more particularly
evergreens fer wind-breaks, and that
is to abate the snow.bank nuisance.
In many sections Of the State travel

impossible for days together, and this

A new French process for making
butter, consists IN placing the cream
in linen bag Of moderate thickness,
which is buried in the earth at q
depth Of a foot and half, and there
allowed to remain for four and twenty
hours. By this time and in this way
the butter "comes." It is so hard az
to need to be broken into pieces,
which are then washed to remove the

Farmers Club lately stated that sray-

purpose of prolongin5 the flow of milk

comes round. It's effect does not cx-
tend beyond two years, when the
cows will 60 dry, and are no longer

L beg pardon, for | perceive he is not
here" VI t4 aargI ~ SIX
The question was curt, rude, rough
even; the reply impetuous, cuttingly sar-
castle, and with hot dash of anger in
ats tones. You would never have thought
that Maxwell Maillard- gentleman as
he called himself, and the world called
him-could have spoken so to his sweet
young wife, just as any coarse, fiery man
might, in an imperious mood, to an intru
sive servant or an annoying beggar Nor
would you have thought, either that
Alice Maillard could have grown so
flushed and disturbed, and vented such a
reply to the husband she loved better
than life ITSELF and then turned and
walked away with such queenly step
from his presence. a Gu Z d
It certainly was an unpleasant and un-
unfortunate mood the merchant was in
that evening. The close of the year was
near at hand, and all day long he had
been perplexed by a thousand cares Incl
dent to his large business; besides he
3 had discovered gross error in the books
result of an incompetent book-keeper'S
blunder-and taken them home with
him that evening to endeavor to trace its
source and rectify it. a ta9
1t was in this mood his brows knitted
with perplexity, that his girl-wife came
upon him in the quiet little library
whittier he had retired after dinner, and
stealing softly up behind him, and play
fully blinded his eyes with one OF her
soft hands, at the same time pushing
away the thick ledger over the green
baize colored table. oa8 tt1N
Inar instant the quick, rough question,
that spoke of annoyance, burst from his
lips and in an instant more the white
hand was snatched away, the graceful
head tossed high, red spot leaped to
both cheeks and the cutting, sarcastic
answer was flung back. And in a few
minutes more the merchant was left alone,
his handsomely-shaped head, covered
with iron gray locks, bent over his books,
but with a compression of his lips and
q glitter in his eye one seldom saw there;
while the girl-wife was sitting in the
parlor, quiet as statue, but with that
same color and excited mien with which
she had left the library ~
For some minutes Alice Maillard sat
thus, perfectly motlonless looking
straight before her then her mien soft
ened-a grieved wounded look crept in
to her eyes, her shut lips quivered with
feeling, and she burst into tears, and sob

The sobs swelled tempestuously, and the
tears rolled over her cheeks now palt
with emotion; but after time she grew
calmer. @....

ceiveS the First Five Millions Of It,
From the Troy IN. Y Times, 18th.
Some months ago we published state
ment to the effect that Miss Gray, mil
liner of Fort Edward, had become the for
tunate heir to SIS, 100000 which her low
er, a young Englishman, had willed to
her upon his dying bed The main fact
in the case the heirship-is true but We
but to the father, that Miss Gray is in
debted former extraordinary good fortune.
1t seems the lover, on his return to Eng
land, like too many others, proved incon-
slant, and married another lady against
his fathers will.
Whether it was from remorse at his
faithlessness or from some other cause,
certain it is the young man died in about
year and left all his property to his
father. The old gentleman was without
heirs ; and not having become reconciled
to his daughter-in-law, upon his death
left one-half OF his property to the Gov
eminent of England, and the remaining
half, $19,O00,000, to Miss Gray, the Fort
Edward milliner. The sum was so large
that many people were disposed to doubt
its truth when it first appeared in print
but Miss Gray has already received the
first instaliment of her fortune, p trit1e OF
So, 900, from the British Consul IN
New York. On Tuesday last she recelV-
ed dispatch from the Consul announcing
that the money awaited her order, and
on the following day she left Forl
|, Edward for New York, where it was palc
over to her.
Later The consul contradicts having
received or paid the money. Ed.l

The Telegraph informs us that the
dogma of infallibility was adopted in
the Ecumenieal Council on "Wednesday,
by a large majority of the prelates. We
consider this the worst step that the Ro-
man Church has taken for many years.
1t shuts off discussion: puts a paddock
upon the minds of those who are in
clined to accept the faith in general;
makes abject slaves of all who choose to
enroll rs faithful subscribers to the doc
trines Of the Church. The following re-
marks we quote from a eotemporary, in
Producing the sentiments expressed in
the Council by an American bishop;
Early culture will always in the long
run prevail over later habits of educa-
ton or discipline. In the Council at
Rome the American and the Republican
have ~triumphed, in the person of one Of
our eminent bishops, over the Catholic
and the Church dignitary. We heard a
a rumor some time ago that an eminent
American ecelesiastic had spoken out
boldly in the Vatican against Papal pre-
tensions, but the noble words he uttered
have only just reached us. Here they
are: / am a Republican, he exclaimed,
and reject ab~solutism in the Church as
in the State. According to my views
the king exists for the good of the coun-
try and not the country for the good of
the king. In the same way | believe
hal the popedom has been established
for the sake of the Church, and not the
Church for the Popedom.'

Judge Tilford delivered the Grafton at

July. 1t is one of the most scholarly
that has yet come to our notice. AL
though Judge Tilford is a Democrat,
and was identified with the anti-war
party during the rebellion, he is not
afraid to speak of the struggle and its re-
suits. He admits that, before u in
ternecine struggle, we had no confidence
in the permanency of the Federal Union,
The Government was apparently a con-
federacy held together by ropes of sand,
and destined to perish in the flames of
revolution. The storm that sweeps the
mountain side lays the rich mine bare,
and the tempest of civil war only con-
solidated and strengthened the grand
fabric of American Government This
does not accord with the accepted Demo-
cratic growl that the Union has been de-
stroyed by the Republican party.-Ter

rHf Lottery LAW.

The Court instructed the San Fran
cisco Grand Jury to inquire into viola
latious Of the law against lotteries-in-
structing that the law stands valid to-
day, as enacted. The lawyers claim
that although the Constitution forbids
lotteries, there exists no law enforcing
the provision; and therefore the pro-
vision is imperative; and as the law u
thorizing the Mercantile Library Lottery
is later, it repeals all laws previously
enacted against. The lawyers on that
noint have the best of the Judge, unless
il be held that a law at variance with the
terms Of the Constitution is not compe-
tent to repeal a Law in with
that instrument. At all events. the lot
terry goes on; and White Piners are tax
ing their share in the chances for fortune.
