Farming.

have often spoken ofJhe impor-
lance aud dignity of farming as a
pursuit, and yet, in the face of the
great Advancement tLat has been made
in late years, there are too many
farmers who regard themselves as,
literally, "tOierS," without promise
of improvement in the future. We
repeat what we have often said, that
farming is not simply a profession,
but of all professions, in its practice,
it embraces the very widest range of
scientific truths and actual facts, and
it cannot be disputed that in this
pursuit we have afforded the widest
field for the exercise of the analytic
mind. But how few of those who own
vast acres will ever pause to inquire
into the influences they start TO work,
or ask concerning the causes which
lead TO such important results.
AS at present conducted, there is a
large amount of very difficult labor
required to be performed in farming.
There is no excellence attainable
without effort, aud the farmer whC
can command the respect of his fell
low-men and confidence of the en-
tire community by the success lie
achieves, has just cause for pride.
Science and human skill is required
to effect the results we all desire to
see, and when our farmers generally,
with a higher appreciation of theil
capacities, and a truer estimate of thC
results they bring about, will earnest.
ly labor TO make their pursuit at.
tractive and profitable, there will bC
the less cause for complaint.
The remark oft-qnoted is thai
farming is the most independent O

Insect Traps.

Now that horticulture has come to
BE- largely u fight with insect depre-
dators, every method of getting the
best of the foe is eagerly scanned.
Some horticulturists are beginning
to find out that the easiest way to
fight worms and insects is TO trap the
parent millcrs, moths or bugs; as is
easily done by suspending i'll the
garden wide-mouthed bottles or jars,
half filled with thin molasses or
very sweet water. A writer in the
New York Observer says: | have
tested the efficacy of the insect trap,
and have found it all that can be de-
sired for trapping the butterflies,
moths, millers and beetles of every
species 0 finsects that infest fruit trees
and vines, vegetables and flowers.
The worms on grape vines, worms
on tobacco, on tomatoes, and Irish
potatoes, ali can readily be trapped
in this way, We trapped last season
scores of many species of depreda-
tors, in our city lot in Brooklyn.
| Several gentlemen who reside IN the
valley of the Hudson river have trap
ped more than a bushel each, con-
sisting of almost an endless variety
of moths, millers, beetles, bugs and
flies. Every fruit tree, every ever
green and deciduous tree, every ber-
~ bush and fruit bearing vine, and
every vegetable cultivated in the
garden is attacked by a specie OF
noxious insect which flourish only
where their appropriate species OF
trees or fruit is cultivated; and
strange to say, every II of these
foes spring from parent insets in the
form of butterflies, moth millers.
bee Ties or bugs, every species Of
which will hazard life for the sake Of
getting a taste of the contents of the
bottle. Foreign papers state that il
was estimated that more than mil
lions of insects were trapped in bot
ties containing very sweet water, il
a certain section of country in France
last year. AS every butterfly o
moth produces a very numerous
progeny, it will be seen az once tina
it is in this form the insect ravager
can be most successfully fought.

THE GREAT MISSION OF WOMAN
Great indeed is the task assigned to
woman! Who can elevate its dignity?
Not to make laws, not to lend armies
not to govern empires; but to form
those by whom laws are made, armies
led, and empires governed; to guard
against the slightest faint of bodily
iDfirmity, the frail, yet spotless crea-
lure, whose moral, no less than ply
steal being, must be derived from her;
to inspire those principles, to inculcate
those doctrines, to animate those
sentiments which generations yet I'M
born and nations yet uncivilized will
learn to bless; to soften tirmness into
mercy, and chasten honor into refine
ment; to exalt generosity into virtue
by asoothing care to allay heanguish
of the mind; by her tenderness to dis
arm passion; by her purity to triumph
over sense; to cheer the scholar sink
ing under his toll; to console the
statesman for the ingratitude Of a
mistaken people; to be compensation
for friends that are peridious-for
happiness that has passed away.
Such is her vocation. The couch of
the tortured sufferer, the prison Of the
deserted friend, the cross Of the reject
ed Savlor-these are theaters on which
her greatest triumphs have been
achieved. Such is her destiny; to visit
the forsaken, to tend to the neglected
when monarchs abandon, when coun-
sellers betray; when Justice ~prosecutes,
when brethren and disciples flee, to
remain mistaken and unchanged, to
exhibit in this lower world q type Of
that love, constant, pure and inelEable
which in another we are taught to be-
lieve the test of virtue. -BIdckWood't

RIght and Wrong Way to MiIk.

The Irish Farmers Gazette pub
lishcd the following from Prof Dick,
Of the Edinburgh Veterinary Col
lege, on the manner of milking:
"Thc operation of milking is per-
formed differently in various parts
of the country. In some, the dairy
maid dips her hand in q little milk,
and by successfully stripping the
teat between her fingers and thumb
unloads the uddcr. This plan, how
ever, is attended with the disad-
vantage OF irritating more Or less
the teat, and rendering it liable TO
cracks and chops, which arc followed
by Inflammation extending to the rest
of the quarter. This accounts for
the disease occurring more frequently
among the cows under the charge of
one mixer than it does in those I'M
der the charge of another; and as
this practice ia more common in
some parts of the country than in
others, it also accounts for the dis
ease being more common i'll these
parts. This plan of milking, where
the irritation is not sufficient to OK
cite the extent of Inflammation to
which ] have alluded to, frequently
produces a horny, t%hickening of the
teat, q consequence of the cracks and
chops, which renders it more difficult
to milk than when in its natural
state, and, at the same time, predis'
poses to inflammation when any cause
occurs to set it up.
These effects may be, and are, al
most entirely avoided, by The mos
scientific plan Of milking adopted il
other parts of the country, where, in.
stead of drawing down or stripping
the teat between the thumb and fin
gers, as | have stated, the dairy-maid
follows more closely the principles
which instinct has taught the calf, She
first takes a slight hold Of the teatf
with her hand, by which she merely
circles it then lifts her hand up so as
to press the body of the udder up,
wards, by which the milk escapes
into the teat or, if as is generally
the Gaze when some houre have
elapsed between milking-timcs, The
teat is full, she grasps the teat Clos'
to its origin with her thumb an(
fore-finger, so as to prevent the mill
which is in the teat from escaping
upwards; then, making the rest o
the fingers close downwards in sue
cession, forces ont what milk may b,
contained in the teat through thu
opening of it. The hand is agail
pressed up and closed as before, ant

IDLE GIRLs.-It is a painful specta-
Gle in families, where the mother is
the drudge, to see the daughters, ele-
gantly dressed, reclining at their ease
with their drawing, their music, their
fancy-work, and their reading, be-
quilting themselves of the lapse OF
hours, days, and weeks; and never
dreaming Of their responsibilities; but
as o necessary consequence of neglect
Of duty, growing wearyof theiruseless
lives, laying hold of every newly in
vented stimulant to rouse their droop-
ing energies and blaming their fate,
when they dare not blame their God,
for having placed them where they
are. These individuals will often tell
you, with an air Of affected compass
sion flor whocan believe 1t feal), that
poor, dear mamma IL working herself
to death; yet 40 sooner do you pro-
pose that they should assist her then
they declare she Is quite In her ele-
ment; in short, that she would never
be happy ifshe had only half SO much
to do.

Large Turkeys and Turkey Breeding.

A passion for extra size is Il of
the weaknesses of the American
mind. In what other nation would
it be possible to associate mex simply
on their avoirdupoise merit? Where
else should a man be most highly
considered, because he could show
the most adiposC matter laid upon
his bones! In the decisions given at
our Fairs, weight is not only an I'M
portant item, but the one thing need
full. In a scale of one hundred points,
weight would be the equivalent OF
fifty, in the minds Of most judges.
1t is the big swine, the big pumpkin,
and the largest fat OK that takes the
premium. Economy of fattening, or
the process of production, is seldom
inquired after. The same bad taste
is likely to effect the decisions in our
poultry shows, unless the managers
insist upon q mOre'wholesome stand
ard. A large, well developed bird,
of maximum size, is desirable. a
monster is not, for any conceivable
purpose, except TO excite wonder and
draw the crowd. We raise poultry
chiefly for the table. What the pro-
Queer wants in his stock is good
quality of flesh, carly maturity, and
capacity to make the most flesh out
of a given amount of food. A turkey,
weighing fifteen pounds is Just as good
for the table as n weighing thirty /;
and most housekeepers would prefer
them under twelve pounds. In most
markets the lighter weights would
bring the higher price. 1t is only in
the region of large hotels and board
lighthouses that the very large birds
bring an extra price. For what OBJ
iect, then, do we want large breeding
birds, and how large do we want
them?
1t takes about three years for a tur-
key 10 attain his largest weight If
at twelve mouths q gobbler reach
pounds live weight, OF two
years he would reach t~hirty-tive, and
at three years forty, or a little more.
But it is rare to get a male bird
above forty pounds, and then 1t is
generally by some process of stuiling
that destroys his stamina and often
times his life. This weight Is cx-
celled sometimes but about the time
