HOW to MANAGE Il RuII.

to a correspondent: To no animal is ex-
erclse more important than the breeding
bull and II Is, we believe, the Judgment

That the frequent instances OF ineficiencv
IN hlgh-bred animals are caused by high
condition and idleness. We know that
many instances might be cited of bulls
kept IN doors summer and winter, and in
The highest condition, that have been sure
breeders; but these are exceptions to the
general rule, and should not be relied upon
as examples. We endeavor to have our
bulls III pasture day and night in May and
June and in the fall months. In hot
weather they are kept in through the day.
When II pasture, we usually allow few
cows in calf to run with them. With this
agement, a bull will be vigorous, eff
cient and healthy, and much more likely
to lie quite than when constantly confined
in the stable. Some breeders fence in a
field of five or six acres for bull lot, in
which they have d shed and water, and
where they keep the breeding bull sum
mer and winter. This is a very excellent
plan; aud with a strong post and rail fence,
If the bull is never allowed to be taken
out, ne will sometimes behave himself
quietly there for five or six years.
In the winter bulls are generally kept III
stables, but should always be taken out
daily for exercise-it only few rods to
water, 1t will be a great help.

THE NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE Com
PANY of the United States of America,
was Chartered by Congress IN the Sum
mer of 1873. Since that time, with a
capital of (S1, 900, 000) larger than any
other life insurance company III Amerl-
ca, 1t has been the leading stock COM
pany in the country, If not IN the world.
Its charges for insurance are not only
about three-fourths those OF Mutual
companies, while it has nearly ta0o dol
Lars of assets for every dollar Of lidbiL-
jty. This fact is wor ahy of special con-
sideration, as there is as much differ
ence in the value of insurance policies
as there is in the value OF railroad
bonds. Its management is in the hands
OF E. A ROLLINS, Ex-COmmissloner CT
Internal Revenue as President; JAY
COOKE, Chairman of Finance and Exc
cutive Committee E. W. PEETE, for
merly of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York as Actuary, and
-. NJ. BUTLER, as Secretary, with, a
Board of DIRECTORS of National repuGa-
tion. 1t wants an efficient and reliable
agent IL every town in the country,
where it has not one already employed,
and it's commissions for business are
both liberal and continuous. Core
spondence with reference to insurance
or employment may be addressed to
the branch Office in Philadelphia, where
the business of the company is trans.
acted. The Company is worthy the
largest patronage, and an agent should
be employed in this vicinity if there is
not already one here.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Washing Butter.


We copy the following from the Ere
donid Censor:
This practice is by some butter-makert
looked upon as injurious, and it is a poin
upon which divers opinion are held. One
Says, " never allow particle of water &c
touch my buttera 1t is claimed that by
this practice the butter has a richer flavor
that washing takes away. If butter could
be entirely freed from casein, which even
washing will not do perfectly, it would
keep almost an indefinite time with good
care Bot we are told that unwashed but
ter contains about FIVE or six per cent. of
casein, while that which is well washed
will retain only about one per cent. of it.
We believe that it Is better TO wash the
casein than to work 1t out, even if working
would do as well, for The reason that the
less you work the butter the better it is
If there were some process whereby butter
could be extracted from the milk inmedia
tly after it is taken from the cow, and the
animal heat is gone, without injury to the
butter, the keeping qualities of the butter
would be greatly improved. Is it hoping
too much that science will some day do it
A large portion of the milk as it comes
from the cow is water, and why should
pure water injure butter? We can readily
see that the water contains mineral sub
st tnees, or is impure, it would produce in
jury. No one claims but that washing il
necessary here butter is intended for long
keeping; and lfas is claimed, the aroma is
washed away, there is no doubt but thar

in all uuwashed cutter, for even washing
VIII not extract all 1T.
One thing is exploded that has long
been hobby, and that is, you must pound
about so long to get good butter. If the
temperature is right, and the previous care
has been right, five or ten minutes will
bring as good or better butter than hours
OF pounding. This we have demonstrated
to our satisfaction and we are prepared
to expect that other changes in butter
making will come in due time. The more
quickly butter is made, and the air shul
from it, the better, if only the next hour
after the milk is drawn from the cow.

Yes, put on your cloak and hood

and the small black stove filled with
ashes, she felt tears coming / to her
brown eyes and became ashamed of her
foolish speech.
Aunt Kate, however, knew just what
to do. She sent the boy for coal and
wood, and unpacked the basket. Mean
while, to Sadie's amusement, the blind
girl got on her knees before the stove
and began cleaning it out. When that
was done, she felt her way into the
closet, took out a tin kettle, and then
went slowly, cropping her way down
stairs for water
Her mother told Sadie that they had
lived in the house for several years. and
Nellie knew her way all over it. In
spite of her blindness she was general

things about the room. The poor
woman had supported her children for
some time, going out as a washerwoman.
but lately her health had given way,
and she could only sell little things
about the streets
Aunt Kate resolved to befriend this
poor family, and having waited until
the fire was made and the kettle boil
ing, she fixed cup of tea for Mrs.
Davis and then said goodbye, promis-
ing to return later III the day with more
assistance.
Once in the street, Sadie stole her
hand into Aunt Kate's and said softly:

keep Thanksgiving"
s. Yes, Sadie, we all have much to be
thankful for, the least we can do is to
feel grateful for our blessings. Now
you wish to go to church."
90 yes, [ think that after this I shall
always wish to go to church on Thanks
giving Day. Do you think Nellie knows
it is Thanksgiving 2"
Perhaps not, but l think she is CIV

ment. If she had not gone out so
bravely in the cold, barefooted and
blind as she was, what would have be

she did her duty, and you see her ac-

Rev. DR.. Lyman Beecher was much op
posed to have his son settled in Brook
lyn. He wished him to remain at In
dianapolis, where he was then preaching
for $500 year. The Plymouth Trus-
tees received @ letter from him, saying:
''In Indianapolis, Henry may some day
make his mark, but in he vicinity of
ew York he will be entirely lost sight
of, and eclipsed by hundreds of ADLER
men," However, the Trustees thought
that "Henry " would do, and called
him. The call was refused for some
time; but TIE constant sickness of his
family in Indianapolis finally sent Mr..
Beecher east to Plymouth Church and
fame. He ran the gauntlet of thee
logical examination with difficulty His
unorthodox definition of sin provoked
from lady the wrathful remark g.

triumphantly passed, Mr., Beecher be
