How to Test the Richness of Milk.

1t is Of no little Importance to have at
hand convenient and reliable mode for
testing the richness of milk. This is usual
ly done by the mere rule of "guess." We
will give a more reliable way, within the
reach of ALL and one whereby any person
may safely govern himself in deciding upon
which Of any number of milkmen he will
patronize, or of which of any number of
cows he will purchase.
Procure any long glass vessel-a cologne
bottle or a long phial. Take a marrow
strip of paper, just the length from the
neck to the bottom of the phial, and mark
it off with one hundred lines at equal dis
tances; or, if more convenient, and to OBJ
tain greater exactness, into fifty lines, and
count each as two-and paste it upon the
phial, SO as to divide its length into hun
bred equal parts. Fill it to the highest
mark, with milk fresh from the COW, and
allow it to stand in a perpendicular position
twenty-four hours. The number of spaces
occupied by the cream will give you it's
exact per centage in the milk, without any
guess work.
Now, if you wish to carry the expert
ment further, and ascertain the percentage
of butter, set the milk in large dish, and
collect, say 100 Or 200 ounces of cream;
make your butter IN the cream by aScer-
tanning the number of ounces of butter
you have made. Thus, if one hundred
ounces of cream give five ounces of butter,
you will know that one hundred ounces of
milk will give five ounces of butter.
Such experiments are worth being made,
and made carefully. In no other way can
you know what you have in a COW or milk,
or what you are buying. In this way also
Won NAV test the exact nutritiye value of
different kinds of milk from your cows-a
very important matter. Farmers may de-
rive much benefit by making few simple
experiments, now and then. They need
not interfere with any of the regular duties
of the farm; and nothing but spirit of
habitual Incidence of thought and action
will keep them from doing SO. Such exper-
iments often lead to important results, and
evoke interesting and instructive facts.

PUDDING WITHOUT MILK OR EGGs.-

To FATTEN TURKEYs.-Shut the birds
up in any place where they can pearch and
roost warmly at night. Let them have a
trough of food by them made of oats, bar
ley and a few beans, all ground together
and Stacked with milk to be nearly liquid.
Let them be fed three times per day, a
good cropful each time, but not more than
they will eat. They must have gravel and
water. If put in good condition, three
weeks or month of this treatment should
fatten them. The addition of little pull
verified charcoal, to their food will aid ma
terially in the fattening proc ess,

LETTER FROM VINCENT CoLLYER IN RE-
PLY TO GEN. SHERIDAN.
WASHINGTON, March 8, 1870.


Hon. Felix Brunot-Sir: Gen Sheri-
dan strikes out at me almost as wildly as
he did at the poor Piegans, and with
about as much justice. He says that IN
nv extract from Lieut.. Rease's report Of
the massacre Sin order to do injustice to
Col Baker and to deceive a kind-hearted
publio,"I suppressed the fact that Col
Baker took 100 women and children
prisoners. If the General thinks it re-
lieves the blackness of the picture any te
say that in addition to the 80 women and
80 children, sick with smallpox, killed
there were 100 women and children also
taken prisoners, will add it now. Lieut.
Rease, T notice on a closer look, does not
make it quite 80 bad as that. He says
there were is women and 10 children
none over three years, and majority
much younger, some of whom were
wounded and taken prisoners. The gen
eral seems to forget that the same govern.
ment which placed him in command OF
the military of the West, appointed us to
do our humane work among those In
dams, and virtually makes it our duty to
stand in front of these helpless outcast
women and children, and say to any one
who may attack them: "Cease your
bloody work; these are not guilty" To
the settlers of the border he says L want
it to 60 on. No, general, you know you
are not justified in any such inference as
this. Because I shall let the American
people see what you call great "victory
over the Indians" it does not follow that
we do not want the men who perpetrated
the horrid crimes you portray with SC
much zest, justly punished. Strike, If you
must strike, the guilty, not the innocent
Faithfully yours, VINCENT CoLLYER.

THE RUTLAND HERALD
New York Legislature and Secta'
rian Schools.

A petition has been presented to the
Senate of New York, signed by six hun
dred delegates to the New York state
Methodist Convention, asking for the re-
peal of the law appropriating money to
sectarian schools. This is question
which is exciting great interest in the
Legislature, and the excitement upon the
question is daily increasing. The large
annual appropriations that have been
made in certain interests is subject that
most certainly should demand the atten-
ton of the people of the Empire State.
There seems TO be no way to avoid it SC
long as the Legislature is made up of ex.
tremists and bigets who bend every ener.
gy in one direction, under the influence
of political chicanery. The stamp of the
honored legislators can be appreciated by
the utteranoe of Senator in!Ihis place,
who characterized the petitioners for a
repeal of the law as "senseless, houseless,
penniless, bowling pastors"
Two bills have been introduced, to en-
deavor to accomplish the repeal of this OBJ
noxious bill The one inIthe Senate is
before the Committee on Cities, and the
House bill has been sent to- the Com
mittee on Education, and all efforts to
induce either committee to report the bill
favorably for consideration of either
branch or in any other way have thus
far been fruitless. The Democrats are
pursuing course calculated to make this
question party issue, which it ought not
to be, and would not have been had wise
counsels prevailed. 1t is surprising to see
the tenacity with which certain Catholics
members of the Legislature cling to this
absurd, ill-advised and unequal law, that
was smuggled by deception and trickery
Into the Tax Levy of New York City last
year. The contemplate expedient is be-
ing resorted to of threatening to kill all
the little local bills OF the country mem
bers who favor the repeal of the law, un-
less they cease their opposition.
In ordinary Legislative bodies, espe-
cially in New England, these gentlemen
would soon learn that this game could be
played by more than one side. This is
u question upon which the members of
that body have got to put themselves on
record unless we mistate the spirit of the
friends of repeal. The sectarian school
law of New York must be repealed or
the same absurd demand will be made in
other States, and while the partisans of
sec'arian schools cannot overthrow the
system of free schools, they will seek to
support sectarian schools from our treas
uries, and thus subvert one of the most
important principles of free government,
and next demand a union Of Church and
State. --L

ATTEMPT TO EXToRT MoNEY.-Some
time last fall James Fisk, Jr., received an
anonymous letter demanding payment of
5000, under penalty of death for re.
fusal. AS no attention was paid to this
very modest demand, another letter was
soon after sent, and then another, and
then the whole matter was entrusted by
Mr.. Fisk to special detective of New
York to ferret out. These letters direct
ed the money to be sent to one George
w. Pierce, of Westfeld, who was therein
represented as an innocent person and
ignorant of the whole transaction. The
subject has been carefully and cautiously
explored by the Special" and was
brought to a focus by the arrest this
afternoon of George W. Pierce.
by James Alden, the New York de-
teetive, and Deputy State Constables
Jones and Wade of Boston, on a charge Of
attempting to extort money. Upon ar.
