The Signs of Madness in Dogs.

The British Medical Journal calls at
tention to the measures recommended
by the council of hygiene, of Bor-
deaux, for the better protection of the
people against the dangers of hydropho-
bia. The madness of dogs has period
which is premonitory and harmless. If
these periods were generally known the
dogs could be put out of the way be-
fore they become dangerous On this
subject the council of hygiene has IS
sued the following instructions
A short time, sometimes two days, af-
ter madness has seized dog, it creates
symptoms in the animal which it Is in
dispensable TO recognize
1. There is agitation and restlessness,
and the dog turns himself continually
in his kennel. If he is at liberty he
goes and comes, and seems to be seek
ing something then he remains motion
less, as if waiting then starts, bites
the air, as if he would catch fly, and
dashes himself, bowling and barking,
against the wall. The voice of his mas
ter dissipates these hallucinations, the
dog obeys, but slowly, with hesitation,
as If with regret.
Q. He does not try to bite he is gen.
BlG, even thiNA hO NNe' "@AAN.
drinks, but gnaws his litter, the ends Of
curtains, the padding of cushions, the
coverlids of the beds, carpets, etc.
3. By the movement OF his paws
about the sides of his open mouth, one
might think he was trying to free his
throat of bone.
4. His voice undergoes such a change
that it is impossible not to be struck
by it.
8. The dog begins to fight with other
dogs. This is decidedly characteristic
sign if the dog be generally peaceful.
The three symptoms last mentioned
indicate an advanced period of the dis
ease, and that the dog may become dan
gerous at any moment if immediate
measures are not taken. 1t is best 10
chain him up at once, or, better still, to
kill him.
The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal suggests that this advice be in
serted at least once a year in the pubic
papers. 1t would seem particularly de-
sirable and practicable that these rules
should be printed on the backs of the
notices and receipts for dog taxes. These
excellent measures ought to he general

Every age has its problem, by solv-
ing which humanity is helped further
onward. Every age believes that its
battles are the most important of all.
This is the real spirit of the age. Let
us. too, live and die fer this religion of
freedom, better deserving the name of
religion, perhaps, than the hollow, de
cayed soul specter which we are wont to
call by that name. TO us, our holy bat
tie seems the most important that has
ever been fought, and yet our descend
ants will, perhaps, look down upon il
with the same indifference with which
we regard the battles of our primeval
ancestors. Heinrich Heine.

The Age of Shams.

If we were called upon to say what is
the distinctive characteristic of the age
in which we live, we should be inclined
TO designate it as an age of shams. Un-
reality cree ps into everything. The
gravest matters are tainted with it.
Even in religion, where unreRlities
should find no place, there is conten-
tion about externals which are devoid
of any real meaning. Bishops and cler-
gy contend for pastoral stats and vest
ments, when they no longer have the
things they symbylize. Language is
made to conceal the truth, and exagger-
ations distorts it. Professions of friend
ship are hollow, and treachery under
mines the closest ties. In the political
world we hear it forever stated that par
ties are betrayed by their chiefs, and
that principle is at discount. And in
the smaller details of life we find that,
instead of the instincts of nature rebel
ling against anything that is unreal
there is an appetite for it; that shams
are in favor, and that every one is at
tracted by them rather than otherwise.
In the matter now before us, we find
this to be especially the case. False
hair, false color, false ears, are used
without compunction where they are
considered to be needed. The conse-
quence is that woman has become an
imposture. We do not, of course, refer to
those perfectly innocent Embellishments
which relate to the preference of one
dress to another, or for one style of an
other. These are most legitimate and
innocent. We refer to those impos-
lures in dress by which things seems to
be which are not, and the adoption of
which is in itself a great indignity to the
whole race of womankind. No one is
bound to dress herself unbecomingly !;
but, on the contrary, is more than JUS
titled in making the best use or natures
gifts. Our protest is against the intro
duction of novelties by which women
are taught to impose upon the world,
which cannot fail to have a demoral-
izing influence over them, and which
desecrates that modesty which is the
best jewel woman can wear.-London
Society.
"A lecturer once convulsed his audi
ence with an incongruity of which he
seemed at the moment almost uneon-
cious. He was talking of affectations,
and particularly of the one which in
duces people to sign the initial OF their
first with the whole of their middle
name. Sometimes, he said, this sounds
well enough, but these cases are excep-
tional. We all like "E Pluribus
Unum, but we could stand "P. Jona-
than Pillsbury?"

SMALL COWS AND RICH
MILK.

! In recent address before the Yer
mont Dairymap;s Association Alexan-
der Hyde said :-"As general rule 1t
may be stated that small COWS give a
milk which is richer in cream than
that from large COWS. Thus the little
jersey gives more creamy milk than
the large Durham indeed, the crdi-
nary milk of Jersey is about equal
in this respect to much that is. sold in
our cities as pure cream. Mr.. j. NJ.
Mackie, of Great Darlington, Mass, in
whose word we can place implicit con-
fdence, says that he has one jersey
whose milk is by actual test thirty-fVe
per cent. cream, and that from five
quarts of Jersey milk he can make one
pound Of butter. The small Kerry
COW is said to be equal to the Jersey
iuits cream product, and the still small
or Brittany cowlet-for the kline of
Brittany hardly deserve the name Of
COWS, as they are only thirty-six to
forty inches in heights claimed to
provide milk richer in cream than that
Of the Jersey or Kerry. On the 9th
cr hand the large Durham are not re-
markable either for quantity or quality
or quantity of their milk, though
there are some strains of Durham
blood that uniformly furnished good
mixers; and the large Dutch cattle,
while giving an abundance Of milk,
are rather famous as cheese than but
ter producers. The AyrshireS, which
are medium between large and small
cows. furnish also milk which is full
ly up to the average for both butter
and cheese. In the latter constituent
. We are inclined to think the Ayrshire
luilk is above the average. Perhaps
we ought to say here that the differ
ence between Jersey and Ayrshire
milk is not so great intrinsically as ap-
pareutly. Jersey milk has a good
emulsion, that is the cream rises rap
idly and easily. Iu this respect it is
like men of fluent speech. They can
tell all they know, and sometimes pass
for more knowledge than they are
worth. The cream of Ayrshire milk
is more slow in rising, and seldom
rises perfectly, 50 that if a pan of Jer-
scy skim milk is compared with Ayr
shire skim milk the former is watery
and innutritious, having parted with
all it's cream, while the latter is white
and valuable from the cream and casein
which it contains. AS the virtue Of
milk, so far as muscle forming power is
coucerned,is concentrated in the cascin,
Ayrshire milk is intriusically fully
equal to jersey"

CHEMISTRY AND AGRICUL-
TURE.

1t is manifestly an error to suppose
that the service which chemistry is ca
pable of performing for agriculture is
mainly confined to soil analysis. This
is the most uncertain and perplexing
work which the chemist is called to
perform, and We may add, the practical
difficulties are so great in the work, that
the results are usually not very salts
factory. Let US examine these Difficult
ties, for a moment, or endeavor to bring
them more directly 10 the attention.
II a given soil is valuable from the
amount Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash which it contains it Is I'M
portant that the eamounts should be aeu-
rately ascertained. Now good, arabic,
fertile soils will usually contain only
.002 of their dry weight Of the two
first Of these substances, and about
double the quantity of potash. 1t IS
evident the fertilizing principles are
present only as mere traces, but if an
alysis is worth anything it must detect
and correctly weigh them. The work
must be done with the utmost accura-
cy, as any small fractions Of error are
of immense Importance when the con-
tents of whole field are taken into ac-
count. Difficult and delicate as is the
labor. it is quite within the power of the
chemist to correctly determine the
amounts of these agents existing in
soils. If chemistry had no more diff
cult service to perform, we would not
complain, but the conditioned these ell
. enlents, or their availability, is a point
sof,g great Importance and one almost Or
quite impossible to confidently settle.
The value of soil for growing crops
depends in great measure upon the
scoaditions in which the :phosphoric
saeid, nitrogen, etc., exist in it, and if
it cannot be positively shown what
that condition is, we donot obtain sat
isfactory results. When the chemist
has estimated correctly the amount Of
the most important fertiliziug princi-
pies in the covering Of au acre OF
ground, 9 inches deep, he has acquired
but part of the information, needed
TO enable him to. give an opinion Of
positive value regarding It's crop-beal-
ing capabilities: There are also other
points of Importance connected with
the physical condition Of soils which
chemistry fails to shed much light up,
on. There can be no doubt whatever
that some soils have the capabilities Of
appropriating more atmospheric nitro
GEN than others, and also, the decom-
position of some of the constituents Of
soils renders them physically better
qualified to promote plant growths at
one time than another AL these con-
siderations should not, however, tend
to destroy our. confidence in the
general aid which chemistry is ca
pable of affording US; they are only cal
culated to make us cautious, and place
q proper estimate upon the help it
supplies.

SELECT Your SEED.-The Carroll,
ma Farmer directs attention to the
fact that now is the time to select
seed for the next cotton crop. In
this latitude earliness of maturity is an
important point. Select the cotton
from the stalks maturing earliest and
keep it separate from the rest Of the
crop. BY continual selection an carli,
err kind of cotton may ultimately be
produced. Somewhat later than this
corn seed may be selected. TIL is
should be done in the field. Select
from prolific stalks, bearing sound and
large ears.
