our midst, it becomes the duty of the PEG
pie to inquire what can be done, under
the existing circumstances, to bring
about reformatiop,and to act accordingly.
A dreadful state of things exists, and a
fearful responsibility rests upon the PEG.
pie. And it will require the humanity of
the most humane, the philanthropy of the
most philanthropic, the religion of the
most religious, the wisdom of the wisest,
and the best efforts of all, to be brought in
concert Of action to devise and execute
ways and means for radical and thorough
reformation. And we appeal to tho PEG.

ability, or position, or occupation, to give
their best ability and make their ablest
efforts, CONFORMITY with all others, TO ac-
complish o reformation which shall re-
trieve the once fair fame and name Of our
city, reclaim the erring and save the in
nocent and happy from guilt and misery
And we hope and trust we shall not 40

none SO low, none so rich and none
SO poor, none so strong and none so
weak, none so good and none so bad, but
tha5 they can do something toward secur.
ing SO desirable reform. And if all
will do what they can, and we ask no one
to do what they cannot, a reformation can
be accomplished which will rescue the
erring and save the innocent. And al.
who labor for a reformation so noble in

peace and joy and happiness which shall

mr.. WILCOX Of the Milwaukee Sentinel
was in Kenosha few days ago making
an effort to increase the circulation and
patronage Of the Sentinel. Through Mr.
Wilcox we learned, what we anticipated
before, that the Ssntiqez is increasing in
circulation and patronage. Under its
new management and increased force it
could not well failof prosperity.
In.this part Of the State the Milwaukee
Dailies come into competition with the
Chicago Dailies. In one ortwo respects
they have the advantage Of the Chicago
Dailies The Milwaukee Dailies arrive
by mail both morning and evening from
two to lhrec hours earlier than the
Chicago papers, and generally they con.
tain more Wisconsin news. And the
same may be said of the Milwaukee
WcekIies. 1Ir. Wilcox's present efforts
were principally for the Weekly 88atjneJ

Mark Twain's Advice TO Little G. iris.

Good little girls ought not to make mouths
ut their teachers for every trifing offensc.
This retaliation should only be resorted to
under peculiar aggravated circumstances.
Ii you have nothing but n rag doll stuffed
with sawdust, while one of your more for
tunate little playmates has a costly china
one, you should treat her with a show Of
Kindness nevertheless. And you ought not
to attempt to make forcible swap with her
unless your conscience would justify you in
it and you know you are able to do it.
You ought never to take your little broth
er's "chewing gum" away from him by
main force it is better to rope him in with
the promise of the first two dollars and halt
you find floating down the river on a grind
stone. In the artless simplicity natural to
his time of life he will regard it as n perfect
" fair transaction. In all ages OF the world
this emiuently Plausible fiction has lured the
o3tusc infant to financial ruin and disaster.
If at any time you find it necessary to cor
rect your brother, dc moi correct him with
mud-never on any account throw mud at
him, because it will soil his cIo'hes 1t is
better to scad him little for then Won at
tain desirable results-you secure his immedi-
ate attention To the lessons YOU are ineulcate
ing, and ut the same time your hot water will
have tendency To remave impurities from
his person-.and possibly the skin also, in spots
liz your mother tells you tn do u thing, il
is wrong to reply that you won't. 1t is bet
ter aud more becoming to intimate that you
will do as she bids you. and then nfterward
net quietly in the matter according to the
dictates of your better Judgment.
You should ever bear in mind that it is to
your kind parents that you are indebted for
your food and your nice bed, and for your
beautiful clothes, and for the privilege of
staying home from school when you let on
that you are sick. Therefore you ought to
respect their little preludices ard humor their
little whims, ard put up with their foibles
until they get TO crowding you too much.
Good little girls always show marked def
erence for tn, aged. You ought never to
'sass" old people unless they 'sass" you

Never Plough Wet Soil.

There is contained in the following article
from the California Farmer, some oft given,
but nevertheless, very timely advice, which
we commend especially to young farmers and
fruit growers, who have not yet learned that
the surest and best way to progress, is to
make haste slowly They are in o hurry
10 secure results, and they start the ploughs
when the earth is but little better than mud :
We have often urged the attention of farmers
70 this subject, as one Of great Importance
Any traveller among our farming districts
can see large tracts of land that have been
ploughed when wet and unfit to be worked,
by observing large heavy clods of earth,
which in the hot season, become like heat
ed brick, burning all the roots of grain or
other produce near it. Besides this evil, no
seeds can vegetate and grow well upon soil
thus cultivated, nor can that soil give back
as much nutrition as if plowed when in the
right condition, and upon a warm sunny dav
when light and warmth can penetrate into
the soil and thus greatly benefit it.
We are confident that farmers loose from
ten to forty per cent by inattentou in this
matter. By little care at the proper time
TO plough, by examining the soil and select
ing good sunny days. the soil will send up
its voice in halo of dewdrop clouds that will
wreath the plowmau with its approval of his
good sense.
As With farms so with orchards, vineyards
and gardens. No soil should be worked when
wet and soggy. If the soil continues wet
long. drain it we'll and soon it will be in
working order, but never attempt to plough,
spade or work it, unless in good condition.
They who think our cultivated lands must
grow poor as they grow old, viii find food Cor
reflection in tie fact that not many years
hack the average yield of wheat per acre in
England was about ten bIshels-is now over
thirty bushels-hrains ACCOMPLISHED it.

The Royal Dairy ian England

A writer to the Philadelphia Bulletin thus
describes the dairy department of the Queen
Model Farm, which is situated about one
mile from Windsor. |. is probably the most
expensive thing Of its kind In the world:
1--WE entered beautiful cottage, and were
shown by one of the Queens favorite servants
into room about thirty feet square, the roof
supported By six octagonal columns Of white
marble, with richly carved capitals. The
floors we're Of white porcelain tiles, the win
dow stained glass, bordered with May-blos-
SONS, daisies, buttercups and primroses.
The floors were lined with tiles OF porcelain
OF delicate blue tint, with rich medalions
inserted of the Queen, Prince Consort, and
each of the children. Shields, monograms
OF the royal family, and bass-reliefs of agri-
cultural designs, representing the seasons,
completed the ornamentation Of this exquis-
lie model dairy. All round the walls ran a
model table, and through the centre two long
ones, supported by marble posts on basins,
through which runs a perpetual stream of
spring water. BY this means the table slabs
are always cold, and the temperature OF the
dairy il chill while tho white and gilt milk
and butter. dishes resting on the tables are
never placed in water. We drank the de-
licious milk, just brought in white metal
buckets lined with porcelain, the Queens
monogram and crest glittering on the brass
plates on the covers. In the room where the
butter was made, milk skinned and strain
ed, we Toasted our eyes on the rows of metal
porcelain-lined cans of every size, made to
lock and sent to the royal family even as far
as Scotland, so they always have good milk
and butter. The churn was of metal also,
and lined with porcelain, made in two COM
partments The outside chamber surround
ing the cylinder could have warm or cold
water pouring in to regulate the coming of
the butter without disturbing the cream.
The lid was screwed on, and the stationary
stand on which the whole was turned made
the work easy and rapid. But while over
sixty cows ara daily MIXED, and as many
more are grazing, the royal family are more
than satisfied, and the Londoners more than
dissatisfied to see rolls of golden butter sold
from the model farm for saving money for
the Queen / know the butter is sold, for
we breakfasted on it this morning, and we
paid for 1t, not as bride, but as q regular
market bargain at the dairy"
