Brigham YOung's Family.

Among the most interesting sights to
be seen at the theatre in Salt Lake City
is the young army of Youugs, the Pro
phet's progeny, who generally occupy the
benches along one side of the parquet-
Boys and girls, young men and young
women, apparently without number, rang
ing in years from seven to twenty, play
and sport with each other like SO many
kittens. Finer or healthie specimens of
humanity you cannot fnd anywhere. The
male portion are strong, healthy and
robust ; the females very womanly look
ing, with clear compilations and bright
eyes. They have all splendid teeth and
beautiful heads of hair. The girls are
very roguish, and are not at all averse to
levelug their opera glasses upon any
handsome and noted Gentle who may be
present They seem to appreciate return
glances, and then laugh and giggle over
the fun like lot Of school girls Get
ting full view of the family of the Pro-
phet, and dissecting them mentally, NOR
ally, aud physically, the uuprejudiced
thinker cannot agree with those philosop-
hers who assert that the offspring Of poly
gamic marriages are weak and puny crea-
lures. That such may be the case in
some instances may be true but in no
sense can it apply to the Young family.
A few evenings since John Stutgood

the darkness only served to conceal her

the room, he demanded to know of Mary
who it was she had with her.
"It's that cat, sir" was the mumbling
reply.

gives the average for Dutch diaries, and may
serve us basis for comparison with the ex-
cellent dairy of Mr. Slus:-
"Thc average yield of Dutch cows appears
to be from 2S35 to 294O quarts, and of the
best 1850 quarts, during the 300 days they
are MIXED, but in the neighborhood of
HARLEM, n stable of 26 cows averaged 3s40
quarts each in the Beemster, $3.50 quarts;
in the vicinity of Worst near Iutphen, 37l7
quarts. Another stable near HARLEM, of 30
cows, 3433 quarts, and in one near Lochem,
in Guelderland, Is cows averaged 1898 quarts
each. 1t is well known that some Dutch
cows, Immediately after calving, sometimes
give us much as 25 or even 80 quarts II day,
which makes the amount for the year from
4725 to 5l45 quarts.
The following extract from the milk list of
1861, of II farm of 26 cows ut HARLEM, will
Indicate the weekly amount There was n
regular increase of milk after May It'll, and
IL dminution after Oct. 10th, in consequence
of going out to pasture and returning to the
STALL

The dairy of Mr.. Suis is much above the
average, | have no doubt. | have visited
one in the HARLEM Nicer Folder, in which
the cows showed the same care in the selec-
ton and management, but could not there
get the statistics of production.
After seeing these dairies and the remark
able amount of their products l am ut II loss
to know how much is to he attributed to the
pecularities of their climate, soil and careful
treatment of their cattle; and | regetted
that ! was not familiar enough with the
Dutch language to inquire more infinitely in
to the details of their dairy management.
The leading business of the country is COM
merce agriculture has to take the less prom
inent place, and there is much less printed
about it than there is in England or our own
country. The wonder to a stranger is the
marvellous neatness of the COW stables. The
cattle are turned out from them in the spring,
and are kept in the pasture day and night I'M
til the grass fails. As soon us the stables are
vacated, they arc washed out clean, the floor
is sandcd, and in some cases tiles are laid,
so that the stables are just as neat and clean
rs the dwelling-house, under the same roof,
and only separated from it by partition and
door. These stables are too neat for Tempo
rary use during the cold storms of spring or
autumn, and as u substitute for this the COWS
are almost uniformly covered with blankets,
when in the pastures. When the COWS are
brought into the stables for the winter, they
are kept with the same care that the best of
horses receive with us; the cattle being cur
ried and the stables being frequently and
thoroughly cleaned and washed out with
water.
There have been some full blooded Dutch
cows and many grade cows of this breed in
the vicinity of New Brunswick, N. j., and
they are uniformly good mixers.

DUTCH DIARIES.

Geo. II. Cook, of the New Jersey State
Agricultural College, in II recent article to
the Country Gentleman, thus describes
Dutch Diaries -
One of the first things that attract the at
tention of the traveller in Holland is the great
number of cattle. They are to be seen eve
rywhere at pasture, and their decided colors
of black and white in large spots, and, rare
ly, black with the broad belt of white, make
them conspicuous objects. The fame of the
Dutch cows for dairy purposes made me in
terested to inquire iuto their peculiar excel
lencics. visited only two or three of the
diaries, and got the most definite information
ut one in the Beemster, some Is or 20 miles
north of Amsterdam. Wouter Suis occupied
the farm, and was evidently thoroughly in
formed in the business The land was fiat,
ditched, and, though ut the level of tidewat-
er, was well drained. He occupied 2071
acres, and keeps nearly all of it in meadow
and pasture, ploughing very little. His stock
consists of 46head of cattle, of which 26 were
mich cows. and he makes butter and cheese.
His sons had kept II record for the year 1870,
down to the time was there, Oct 90, and
they gave me the following figures from it,
on the product of milk:
Monthly Average the whole quarts, each
mo Novpm bpra nd be est ms tpd
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1871-12-16

The cows have been selected with great
care. No pedigree is kept in Holland; but
Mr.. Sluis judged the quality of his cows by
the size of the milk-mirror, by the yellowness
of the skin, the abundance of the scurf on it,
and the clear definition of the black and
white colors. They were all carefully
banketed when was there, and were con-
stantly in the pasture. The day was very
rainy and cool, but no shed was provided for
them; and concluded they could get no
shelter until the winter stables were made
ready for them: and at that time the stables
were partly in use for the cheese-room, and
were altogether too neat and clean for the
shelter of cows. He feeds the cows beets,
linseed-meal and straw, during the season
they are not in pasture. The average size of
his cows is a little greater than ours, but not
much; | should judge them to weigh from
800 to 1900 lbs, though he thought them not
quite so heavy MS that. His bulls were very
large and fine; he had one not long since
that weighed 2200 lbs.
He had not made up the account of butter
and cheese for the year, but promised to send
it to me, and am sorry not to have it now
to put in the account of milk. He told me,
what is also plain from the above statement,
that the cows gave more milk when in the
stable than when out at PASTURE but he said
it did not yield as much cheese; that it took
"a quarts for lbs. of cheese in winter, while
81 quarts of milk in summer would yield A
lbs of cheese. The milk is allowed to stand
"a hours for the cream to rise, and they eX-
pect to get % lbs. from 81 quarts of milk
and also to make IL small quantity of butter
from the whey, additional to the chief pro-
duct of cheese. The following from Star
ling's "Netherland Farmers Handbook"

REMARKABLE YIELD OF CHEESE.

George Robinson of the Mettawee Cheese
Factory at East Rupert reports of his Sep
TENDER make of cheese, that it required not
quite seven and three ourths pounds of milk
to one pound of cured cheese. We doubt if
this has ever been equalled in any cheese
factory in the country.
