The Science of Chemistry.

OF all the sciences which have SO far been
developed to the world, none is SO nearly
indispensable, or has furnished so much
material for blessings, progress, wealth,
health and happiness as chemistry.
While it was regarded as mere
beautiful and intricate plaything.
too subtitle to be brought into
general practical use, the world made but
little progress in its arts, sciences, and
mechanisms, but as soon as it was ac-
knOwledged as the indispensable agent of
all knowledge, behold, with what power
the inhabitants of the earth leap forward.
Nothing is impossible; nothing is left I'M
done.
A writer who has been reminded of the
importance of this science, says: "Chem-
istry has added very materially to the
wealth of the people generally; but it has
accomplished far more than at first
thought appears. 1t has given us better
ventilation, utilized noxious substances
that were otherwise repulsive or danger
Gus, made plain to the student what arti-
Giles were poisonous, and the antidotes
that render them harmless; has increased
our pleasures, and made existence far
more enjoyable to all, but particularly to
the common laborer. Besides, it has
heightened the average duration of hui
man life. By the direct application of
the principles ofthe science in the develop
ment of almost every modern art, success
has been rendered more certain, and the
| field of invention has shone with the bril-
liancy of its discoveries"
But our greatest industries are more
than all indebted to this science for their
principal strength and prominence. Bury
chemistry, and all knowledge of it, and
iron and steel would occupy the same
grave. Without these, where would our
civilization be, or what would life be

Women make the best mixers. Ste
phens, in his Book of the Farm, says he
never sees man milking without think
ing that he is usurping place that does
not belong to him. 1t would seem as
though farmers had combined together to
Danish women from the barn-yard and
COW house. We can think of no other
reason for allowing the yard to remain so
dirty.
Milking requires a little skill, gentle
Dess and patience. And we insist that if
men aoW milk they should do the work
properly
1st. The cows should be MIXED at the
same hours every day, Sunday and week
days.
I'd. If you milk Daisy" first to-day
and "Brindle" second, do not milk Brin-
die first tomorrow and Daisy second, but
always milk them in the established
point, but it is an important matter, espe-
cially in a large dairy, as any irregularity
makes the cows uneasy.
Sd. The same man should n,iils the
same cows.
9TH No talking should be permitted
during milking unless for the purpose of
soothing the COW. The man who uses
harsh words, to say nothing of blows, de-
serves to be kicked out of the stable.
5th A kicking COW should be treated
kindly and hare hGr legs ted 1t is the
only sure preventive and is little
trouble.
9th Have three-legged milking stool.
A one-legged stool is a nuisance.
18th. Wash your hands before going to
milk, and if the cows teats are dirty wash
them also with water. 1t is very common
to milk some milk into the hand, and then
moisten the teats with it. We have often
done it ourselves, but cannot recommend
the practice Water is better
Sth. Sit close to the COW. Do not stick
your head in her flank, but sit upright;
YOU will milk easier and have more con
troll over the cow Hold the pail firmly
between your knees and do not let il touch
the ground. We need hardly say that you
should sit on the right haHd side of the
cow, or what transfers call the "oii,sidc. "
OF course it makes no difference which
side, if the COW is only used to it. And
it may be that as there are ielt-hand
pIows, there may he in some sections OF
our widely extended parish left-hand COWS
also In this case you Will have to SIT
with your right hand towards the cows
hind leg, instead of the left hand, as is
the usual custom.
9th. Do not milk too fast ut first Rub
the teats or bag little, and soothe the
COW. Then as the milk begins 10 come
down freely strike steady, regular mo
ton. and continue it without stopping
until AL the milk is drawn from the ud
der Rapid milking is desirable, but
steady milking is still more important
Some people milk with II stripping mo
ton OF the hands. They pull down on
the teats. This is a bad practice. A good
! mixer may bear down n little, but if he

AN ACT OF JUsTICE.-Doubting Castle
was a sad stumbling block in the path of
Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn't bar
his way to Truth. We can sympathize
with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets
us when we are asked to believe anything
particularly extraordinary. Consequently,
when we heard, some eighteen months
ago, that a physician in California had
compounded, from the juices and extracts
of certain herbs found there, medicine
that cured almost every variety of blood
disease, we were incredulous. Sincethen
we have had opportunities of testing the
accuracy of the report, and are free to adj
NIT that our doubts have vanished. See
ing what we have seen, knowing what we
know, it is impossible for us to question
the remedial properties of DIR. WALKERS
VINEGAR BTTTERs. That this famous
vegetable Tonic, Alternative, and Antisep-
tic is a specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plant, Chronic Constipation, Fever and
Ague, Bilious Intermittents, Scrofulous
faint in the Blood, Incipients Consump-
ton, Local and General Debility, Rheu-
matism, Sick Headache, and Diseases of
the Kidneys, seems to be matter beyond
the pale of controversy tired fact in
medical history. The statements of friends,
in whose veracity and intelligence we
have full confidence, corrobOrated by our
own personal observation, compel us to
admit the surprising merits of the prepar-
alton.

panion of these was blown down, and on
being sawed up. an examination revealed
165 rings, showing that the tree was 76j
years old. AS it was only thirteen feet in
circumference, it is supposed the largest
tree now standing must be 1 ,200years old,
and the other 1 900 years.
THE model convict has turned up in
England in the person of Mr.. William
Roupell, an ex-M. p, who was convicted
some years ago for the forgery of his
fathers will. The iliustrious jail[bird, by
his exemplary conduct, has endeared him
self not only to his fellew-prisoners, but
to his keepers. Recently, he declined to
accept his liberty on a ticket ofleave. He
prefers remaining in prison, where he
has immense influence over its inmates,
and where in cases of sickness he is most
patient in his attention to the sufferers.
DONNIE FORD, of Colfax Mountain,
once prayed a little prayer, thus: 80
Lord, Thou knOwest the wickcdness and
depravity of the human heart-even the
hearts, o Lord, of our visitors. Thou
nephew, John Ford. Thou knowest, o
Lord, how he has departed from Thy
ways, and done many wicked things, such
as swearing and fishing on Sundays; and
Thou knowest, o Lord, how he returned
no longer ago than last night, in state of
beastly intoXication, whistling, o, Lord,
the following popular air:
''Shoo fly, don't bodder me!'
and the dominic screwed up his lips and
whistled the air in his prayer.
THE latest invention comes from Della
ware A man down there, having heard
that the earth revolves at the rate of 900
miles an hour, has arranged plan of GO
ing up in balloon and remaining station
airy while the earth is permitted to slide
away beneath. He thinks that by this
means he can reach California in a couple
of hours, merely by shooting up from
Wilmington in balloon, and then drop
ping down again as soon as the Rocky
Mountains are observed to go past. He
has the whole thing arranged now in per-
feet order-the balloon, and the place to
start from, and so forth-so that the
scheme cannot possibly fail, and all he
wants, to make things complete, is some
thing to tie the balloon to, in order to
hold it still while up in the air.

does he is hardly conscious of it. Nearly
all the milking is done by the three lower
fingers. The forefinger and thumb are
first pressed tightly round the teat so as
to prevent the milk from going back, and
then the three lower fingers are contract
ed until the milk is forced out. There is
no pulling or strippins-the milk is simply
forced out by the contraction of the
fingers. The forefinger and thumb are
first closed, then the next finger, and then
the next, and finally the little finger, and
as one finger closes, the second finger
above begins to relax so as to allow the
milk to come into the teat. In this way
there is a steady, uninterrupted stream of
milk forced out. This cannot be done
with a stripping motion.
10th. 4NHk Clenn Not drop of milk
should be left IN the udder. The last
drawn milk is not only by far the richest,
but if the cows are not MIXED clean they
soon fall off in their milk. Our own
practice is to insist on the men going
over the cows again as soon as they are
through milking, and "strip the cows"
If a man is really good mixer, this is
not necessary, but it is ordinarily neces-
sary to adopt the rule.-HearH and Home

Sowing Corn for Fodder.

FARMERS are becoming more and more
convinced of the advantage derived in
sowing corn for, soiling purposes. Dairy
men, especially realize the fact of its be-
ing superior to almost any other food for
the production of milk, and that no ma
terial for bridging over the dry spell of
midsummer is more easily obtained or
emphatically upon the subject as follows:
ut is no matter what Hon. So and so or
DR.. So-and-so or Prof So-and-so tell us
about the meagre value of corn folded, or
what chemistry shows it to be composed of.
1t is enough to know that our animals
will eat it with apparent great relish, and
will thrive upon il, too. When science
tells us that its organic matter, its mineral
matter, its f1esh-forming constituents, its
respiratory and heat-supporting princi-
pies have about the same value as rye
straw, as an analysis we have before us
shows, we only need to reflect that prac-
teal every day experience has demon
strated that cows will thrive on this very
article while they would famish on rye
straw; that when fed literally with it, the
flow of milk is increased and the general
condition of the animal improved, and
when the corn-fodder is discontinued, the
milk falls Off
''This is the testimony of practical men
living on their farms. They don't care Il
copper about the speculative theories of
this man or that man; they know from eX-
perience that their animals like the fodder,
that they thrive upon it, and that a large
amount may he raised upon an acre of
land involving the outlay of but little la
Dor, comparatively. This ID what expert
ence has taught us, and its lesson should
be turned to account in the present emer-
gency. We know of a dairyman who
keepS from ten to twenty cows, and dur
ing the fall and winter depends largely
upon corn-fodder. His testimony is that
it makes milk and flesh when properly
fed ~

Reduction OF Taxes.

The majority in Congress exhibit a
singular unwillingness to relieve the peo-
pie of taxes which their own organs adj
nit to be unnecessary, and which the
people themselves find to be oppressive.
All the Administration platforms adopted
in State Conventions, that reach us from
day to day, congratulate the country on
the fact that the dominant party has re-
duced the debt and reduced taxation at
the same time and this boast is made
one of the chief claims on the popular
support for Grant in the Presidential
canvass. But the truth of the matter is
that the taxes are not reduced half as
much as they safely might be, and as they
ought to be and the inadequate reduc-
tiOns that have been made have been eX-
torted from the Congressional majority
by popular complaints which cannot safe
ly be ignored.
The new Tariff and Tax bill now pend
ing in the Senate, proposes a total reduc-
ton of taxes of about $43, O0o, 900. This
is 81, 600, 600 short of the $50 900, 900 re-
ductiOn which even Mr.. Boutwell, recon-
mended, and very far below the $4,000,
OOG which Senator Sherman says can be
afforded Mr. Colfax estimates that re-
duction of sixty to eighty millions could
be made without Inconvenience to the Gov
eminent With these large estimates by
AlSn nePuoHCaha u le.eS' VI 'ho III
of taxes that can be safely removed from
the people, how insignificant and lnsu1ll.
cient seems the proposed reduction OF
$43, 900, 900 in the new Tariff bill The
revenue of the Government for the year
ending June 30, 1871, was $3.50, 323 944 /;
the estimated revenue for the year ending
June 80, 1872, is 1856, 19S, 374 and the
estimated revenue for the year ending
June 30, 1873, is $3.50, zoo, 900. The esti
mated expenditures for the year ending
June 80, 1872, are $293, 403, 1872; and for
the year ending June 30, 1878, are S3O1,
75O,O36. That this latter estimate is ex-
travagant is evident from an examination
of some of the items. Thus, for exam
pie, there is put down $110, 1872, ia for
interest on the public debt though Mr..
Boutwell, himself, in his April statement
of the debt, tells us that the interest on it,
at that time, was at the rate of sos, 504,
972 per annum, and steadily decreasing
with every monthly payment on the debt
itself. If the reduction of the debt this
year should be, as it no doubt will be,
800, OOO, 900, there will be about $6,OOo,..
900 less interest to pay next year and
this amount of interest, it is clear,
grows still less with every payment
