The Site for Farm Buildings.

In times past, he who entered farm-life
expected to be more or less an isolated
being. Society had no charms for him.
He was, in most respects, a world unto
himself How to make the most money
out of his land was the beginning and
ending of all his hopes, and to this OBJ
ject all his arrangements turned. In Sc
lecting a site for his dwelling house and
farm buildings, it was, therefore, a point
to get as near the center of his ground as
possible. Ofcourse, the contour of the
surface, the contiguity of water and other
conyeniences had to have voice in the
decision but if these voted for the middle
of the tract, it was all the more comfort
ing. Every field required attention, and
the center of the whole economical time
and space in getting from part TO part of
the whole concern.
But times have changed Agricultural
intelligence has advanced more than
would have been dreamed of generation
ago. The newspaper is now as much n
part of farm-life as it is of city life, and
we live as much for mental pleasure as
for the hogs and cattle and potatoes and
corn which our broad acres yield. Social
life, as well as material wealth. is an agri-
cultural want, and must be kept in view
in locating buildings, as much so as any
Of the mere conveniences before named
Another point is that there is not now
the same necessity for as much manual
labor on the farm as formerly Machine
ry now does most of the labor, and the
mere saving of manual labor has already
been in measure accomplished. Alto
gether it is not a matter of serious conse-
quence on what part of the ground the
buildings are located.
This gives us much more chance to en-
tertain the social elements in m.life,
and there is no reason why, in locating
buildings, the spot chosen might not be
especially in view to its contiguity to a
neighborhood as not A dozen farms of
one hundred or more acres each could be
so arranged that the dwellings might all
be within gunshot of one another
Even though there were some disadvan-
tages from the labor point of view, the
nearness to society would generally com
pensate for it. Farmers, as well as other
classes, have learned that there are many
ways in which they can cooperate to mu-
tual advantage, and this may just as well
be borne in mind when arranging the
farm-buildings as not-Germant0ioR Teie

Those EImira Liberals.

The "worthy coadjutors," late the Lib
erals, held convention at Elmira, N. Y,
recently, and placed State ticket in nom
nation. Exactly what they did this for
1t is impossible to say. OF course it will
get no votes of consequence, and 1t is
doubt ul even if all cf the hundred men
who composed the convention will take
the pains to go to the polls and cast their
ballots for it. There are said to be a few
men in the South who are boarding up
Confederate bonds, hoping one day to re-
alize something on them In a similar
way we findmen with inanimate charters
in their pockets, or broken bank bills in
their purses, waiting for some lucky event
that shall bring their apparently worthless
possessions into demand. There are pro-
tessional politicians engaged in something
of the same nature. They have once been
the officers of an organization of some
character; and, in the hope of one day
being able to barter the thing away, they
cling to it and keep It alive, like worth
less execution, by frequent reissue. In
Ohio the Liberals, or their officers, did
this, and at last succeeded in trading their
principles TO the new party" getting a
place on the ticket in exchange-which
was about the lowest price we ever knew
paid for thing of the kind, but was, no
doubt, all it was worth.
Mr.. Cochrane appears to be playing this
same game in New York; but, so far, no
one has bid anything, and the party is
likely 20 go begging for purchaser, and,
perhaps, be sold at last for as near nothing
as the same organization brought in Ohio.
Ofcourse appearances must be kept up,
and so ticket is gravely nominated, and
the matter heralded to the country. Reso-
lutions were also adopted, and the salary
bill comes in for very fierce denunciation.
Considering the relative strength of the
element which favors it, this was very
dangerous work for the New York
Liberals. If they turn every body out
who voted for the bill, who will they
have left to run the party? Take the
Senate, for instance: The Liberals in
that body were Schurz, Upton, Trumbull,
Rice, Hamilton of Texas, and, say Alcorn,
who rather wishes to be so regarded OF
these, all save one voted for the salary in
crease; and, with Banks, and the other
members of the House, they compose
about all there is of the Liberal party,
which is made up principally of brigadler
generals and no privates. 1t is apparent
that if the New York gentlemen get too
boisterous, the turning-Out will be done
in the other direction. 1t is said that
London play having been hissed, the
manager of the theater summoned his
troupe, which, being numerically the
strongest hooted the audience out of the
house. 1t is apparent that something
similar will be done in this case, and Mr..
Cochrane will find that Trumbull, Banks,
Upton, ct a., are in the majority when
the turning-out business shall commence
in earnest.--Chicdg0 InterOcedn.

Corn Fodder.

The Rural Sun says; 1t is aTennessee
custom to pull fodder. 1t is question,
long debated, whether or not pulling
fodder does not injure the corn more than
the fodder is worth. A farmer, some
years ago tested the matter thus: He
pulled the fodder from one acre; cut the
the tops from the second, and left fodder
and tops on the third. He afterwards
weighed the corn of each acre, and that
from the third acre exceeded the weight
of either of the others by more than the
weight of the fodder in the one case, and
the tops in the other. This was to his
mind pretty conclusive proof that pulling
the fodder and cutting the tops Injuries
the yield of the corn. We know most OF
our farmers regard fodder and tops as
pretty good feed for stock, but we hope
as many as can will take steps to test the
matter so that the subject may be
thoroughly understood, and the best
practice adopted.

Importing Butter and Cheese.

If our dairymen need q spur, an eye
opener a lesson which speaks volumes in
few words, here is one at the head Of
this article. Butter is actually brought
from France and sold by the New York
dealers. And this is because there is an
actual scarcity in the market of really
good butter put up in attractive shape,
for small customers. When we know that
one dairyman gets $t.t5 a pound for his
product another 81, and another seventy.
five cents, the year round, at his dairy
door, 1t is easily seen that it will pay to
bring butter across the ocean from France,
if it is only good and shapely enough to
suit the fastidious purchasers who will
have something nice whatever it may
cost. All this butter is made from choice
cows, cboicely fed on clean, sweet food !;
the milking is done in the cleanest man.
ner the milk is handled as carefully as
though it were nectar; the cream is churn.
ed with the utmost care, by clock and
thermometer; the butter is worked with
skill, and is made up into shapely cakes
which do not require to be cut when
brought to the table. Compare, then, this
cake-hard, golden, yellow, sweet, fra
grant, and tempting to all the senses
with an unsightly chunk which is cut out
of a greasy keg, and smells of old age and
rancidity, and is made from ill-kept cream
from cows filthily lodged and carelessly
MIXED, and is churned anyhow, and the
difference is amply accounted for.-N, Y.

EB- The Madison (Wis) Journal says of
the Republican party, "The Republican

II found the Democrats controlling public

down all who dared TO oppose its inso-
lence or bolt It's nominations. 1t was
ruled by the most corrupt gang that ever
afflicted free country-the fire-eaters and

the North party machinery was merciless.
