the doings Of a rattlesnake: I went 20 my upper

TO move. On inquring the cause, he told me
the house was haunted-some person swept IL
every night. He moved out and moved in-in
order TO disledge the ghost, IL possible. The
third night, about midnight, the sweeping com
menced. arose from my bel as quick as 1
could, To get light, and while was getting n
light the cat attacked the ghost, and a fght com
menced. The cat was whipped pretty quick. \

Presidents message, but considers Boutwell's
report most Disappointing one.
The Herald commends the message, saving
whether considered as embodying statesmanlike
views for the prosperity Of the country, or as a
campaign document from Presidential caudi-
date, 1t IL well calculated 10 strengthen General
Grant and weaken his adyeTsaries. The Herald
does no. commend Boutwell's report, and saws
his suggestions as to the reduction of taxes are
Of small, peddling nature.
The Tribune strenuously opposes the Presi-
dents recommendation to buy the telegraphs,
but finds more to commend than to condemn in
the message.
I he World criticises the message, viewing il
IN the light Of an electioneering document.
The San thinks the message bungling and
begging, and no message so little worthy of
respect was ever sent out by any former Presi-
dent.

THINGS NOT TO Do.-Don't start a
garden and then leave it to take care OF
itself. Weeds terminate as soon as
vegetables, and in the long run will over
power the latter. Begin early the war OF
determination. Take time and weeds by
the fore lock, and their is no trouble in
having good garden.
Don't be poking fingers under sitting
hen to turn her eggs over for her. Just
as if the hen did not know better than you
how to manage eggs in order to hatch
them! The chances are she would become
Disguised with your interference, and
quit her nest altogether.
Don't let heaps of stones stand as they
were picked on land laid down to grass
last year. They not only take up land
that ought to bear grass and be moved
over, but, worse than that, they cry out
against you to all passers-by as a farmer
shiftless and thriftless.
Don't leave refuse vegetables to rot in
the house cellar and diffuse above stairs
their unwholesome odors. The scent Of
decayed turnips and cabbage is not very
pleasant greeting as one enters your doors.
Well might he exclaim, " an enemy hath
done this"
DON'T let manure-heaps become heated
and fre-fanged after being forked over.
If need be, give them another forking, and
still another before planting, rather than
suffer large part of their value to be lost
as it surely would be-by being burnt
up to white powder.
Don't milk cows up to the time of
calving. 1t will make them gargetty,
and otherwise damage their milking pro-
perties. Nature points out the true way
the living embryo calf must have nutri-
ment, and for couple of months at least
before being born, should have all that
the dam can supply.
Don't let your boys take upon them
selves the direction of affairs on the farm
before you give it up to them. 1t is right
and proper to make home attractive to
ones children, but not to do it by becom-
ing their slave or underling.
Don't talk "horse" every time you
meet neighbor with better horse than
yours. Talking will lead to trading or
swapping, and when a farmer has the
horse all as badly as that, good-by oxen
and COWS and sheep and swine They
have no further favor or value with him.

GILT EDGED BUTTER.-It affords me
pleasure to observe that you are of late
quoting with some regularity, the sales of

readers to infer in at least one instance, a
weekly spasmodic movement growing out
of some one PERSONS desire to supply his

ceives to be a superior article, but is a
Legitimate business transaction, and /
happen to know, and can furnish you the
evidence, that there are few diaries whose
product regularly brings several cents a
pound more than your highest quotations,
and what gives special value to the state
ment in the fact that there are sold solely
upon their intrinsic merit.
The farmer who having sold his butter
five or ten cents lower than his neighbor
consoles himself by repeating the old ad-
age, "kisslng goes by favor" may at any
time disabuse himself by getting the
neighbor to market his butter. do not
know maker of the gilt" who has not
learned that there is room enough for him,
and all his neighbors too, and is willing
to aid them if necessary, provided only
that their goods come up to the standard
That there is no favoritism i'll the matter
is abundantly proven to our mind by the
fact that we have known several instances
where makers of the gilt" have attempt
ed to sell their neighbors' goods by putting
on their own brands, etc., and have il
every instance that has come to oul
knowledge failed to make the sale.

THE TRUE WAY TO MILK Cows.

THE TRUE WAY TO MILK Cows
As rule particularly in diaries of any
considerable size, the milking is performed
in an extremely indecent and filthy manner
Laborers often commence milking, alter
they have been doing the most dirty
work, without even thinking about washing
their hands, which are literally smeared
with the filth of the yard. Then after
they have begun to milk, dust and dirt
are constantly falling from the hands and
from the cows udder into the milk.
Many persons are addicted to the habit OF
dipping the hands into the milk every
half minute, and with the warm liquid
moistening and lubricating the teats to
render them more pliable, so that the milk
may be drawn more easily. Hence if the
udder and hands are not entirely clean, a
mixer will collect enough of filth to vitiate
ones taste for the best of milk. These
suggestions will explain how and why it
is that such large quantity of dark color
ed dirt is usually seen in the bottom of the
pitcher after the milk is carefully turned
out.
Our own practice, when we superinten-
ded the milking, was as follows Every
COW was fed just before the milking was
to be done. When COW is eating, or
Immediately after she has swallowed her
mess, she will always give down the milk
better than if she is hungry. The stalls
were then cleaned. Then man proceed
ed, with large pail of cold water and a
cloth, to wash the teats and udder. The
large, filthy wash cloth was not dipped in
the water, but little clean water was
ladled out of the pail on the cloth. By
this means the operator had the advantage
of clean water until the work was COM
pleted. AS soon as the udder was washed
clean, all the loose dirt was washed from
the hair around about the udder, so that
there would be none of the dry accumul-
atoms of the stalls to fall into the milk
pail. By washing the teats and udders
clean, the COWS will always milk easier
than if the teats are dry and covered with
scale of dirt. By the time the washing
is finished, the handling of the udder will
induce the animal to give down her milk,
The teats will then be full of milk, and
the skin will be so mellow and elastic
that COW may be MIXED much sooner
than if the mixer commences his manlpu-
lations with rough and dirty hands, while
the teats are cold and smeared with filth.
Moreover a COW that has thin and deli
cate skin will often kick when her tender
teats are handled, not because she is
vicious, but because the pressure of dry
teat with a rough hand causes pain.
Long finger nails, also, will often cause a
gentle COW to kick.
After milking, if the teats are at all
disposed to chap, let little lard be rub
bed on them every day. Lard will keep
the skin soft and prevent chapping. Every
mixer should wear clean frock while
milking. No more filth could be seen in
the bottom of our milk pans and pitchers
than could be found in baby's eye. But
in the small quantity that we now procure
daily in the city, there is often nearly
half tea-spoonful Of the filth of the COW
stable in the bottom of the milk pitcher

UNLUCKY LUCK.-Within FIVE years a
well-to-do farmer drew quarter of a
million of dollars in prize lottery. The
whole country envied him his luck but
he has since died from style of living
induced by his good fortune, and his only
son has turned out a drunkard.
The man who first bet on the race
course, whose first deal at the card-table,
whose first risk at faro, whose maiden
lottery ticket, brings money largely into
his pocket, is a ruined man at the very
instant the world pronounces him lucky"
Any man, especially any young man, who
starts out IN life with the conviction that
money can be better made than by earn
ing it, is a lost man,-lost already to
society, lost to his family, lost to himself.
An alarmingly large number of the sons
of rich men in New York are at this
moment helpless drpnkards. Young men
are they, many of them of education, Of
many noble qualities, of generous natures,
honorable and high minded but the
demon of drink has taken such possession
of them that fathers breaking heart, a
mothers tears and sisters agony avail not
to draw them from their deep damnation.
Elegant leisure was their ruin.
The best way to save child from ruin
is to bring him up to help father"
Make children feel that they must do
something to support the family, to help
along then two feelings arise which are
their salvation those of affection and
pride for we naturally love those whom
we help, or those whom we struggle
together with for a desired object, and
nothing so improves child as to make
him feel that he is of some consequence,
that he can do something, and that what
he does is Appreciated Halls Journal Of
