RECORD OF A FARMERS CLUB.-A
correspondent of The Country Gentleman
tells what has been accomplished the
Elmira farmers club during the past
three years. 1t commenced with a dozen
members and now has hundred. They
met at first in small room, now they
have large hall well fitted up, files Of
agricultural papers, and thousand vol
umes of standard books.
This club has, through its committees,
tested various new seeds, among which
are some which have proved of greater
value than those in common use, and by
this means it has been able to increase the
profits of certain branches of farming.
On the other hand, it has exposed the
falsity Of the extravagant claims made by
the vendors of worthless seeds, thus saving
the general swindle of all who are guided
by its investigation. 1t has also made sue
cessful efforts towards the improvement of
domestic animals by the introduction of
superior strains of blood, the cost of which.
when borne by such body, falls lightly
on each individual. This is real work, it is
true, but such work is always preceded
by talk In this case, it is the legitimate
fruit of the evening meetings.

Had there been latitude or play Of from
ten to twelve or fourteen inches in the
tread of the wheels, especially in carts and
wagons, it would have been impossible to
have cut our pavements into theruts we now
see, and which renders hauling so difficult
along our streets, and roads. Like the
Conestoga wagons of the last generation,
with their broad tires, difference in the
width of our axles would have improved
rather than damaged our highways, and we
should not see them cut into alternating
ridges and ruts, as so many of them are
now.-Philadelphia Ledger.

ARTIFICIAL BUTTER. - Experiments
having demonstrated that cows living on
very scanty diet still secreted milk containing
butter, it became evident that the butter
must have been prepared from the fatty
tissues of the animal. This led to series
Of experiments on splitting up animal fats,
which have resulted in the preparation of
an artificial butter from suet. The suet is
first finely divided by circular saws in a
cylinder. 1t is then treated with water,
carbonate Of potassa, and finely divided
fresh sleeps stomachs at temperature of
As . O. The pepsin and heat separate the
the fat, which floats on the surface, whence
tits decanted, and when cool placed i'll a
hydraulic press, which separates the stear-
inc from the semi-fuid olcomargarine,
which is employed as follows in the prepa-
ration Of the butter: so klo. IS of the fat,
rs liters Of milk and 20 liters of water are
placed in churn to this 100 grammes Of
the soluble matter obtained from cows
udders and milk-glands is added, together
with little anotta. The mixture is then
churned, when the butter separates in the
usual manner.-Scr'ibner's for February.

JUSTICE ALONE IS MIaHTY.-Oceans
of horse-hair, continents of parchment and
learned-sergeant eloquence, were it con-
tinued till the learned tongue wore itself
small in the interchangeable learned mouth,
cannot make unjust just. The grand
question still remains. Was the judgment
just? II unjust, 1t will not, and cannot
get harbor for itself, or continue to have
footing in the universe, which was made by
other than Que unjust. Enforce it by never
such statuting, three readings, royal as
sents blow it to the four winds with all
manner of quilted trumpeters, and pur-
suivants, in the rear of them never so many
glbbets and hangmen, it will not stand, it
cannot stand. From all souls ofmen, from
all ends of nature, from the Throne of God
above, there are voices bidding it away,
away! Does it take no warning, does it
stand strong in its three readings, in its glib
bets and artillery parks? The more woe is
to it. the frightfuller woe. 1t will continue
standing, for its day, for its year, for its
century, doing evil all the while, but it has
one enemy who is almighty: dissolution,
explosion, and the everlasting laws of nature
necessarily advance towards it, and the
deeper its roofing, more obstinate its con-
tinuing, the deeper also and huger will its
ruin and overthrow be. Carlyle.

CoNsUMPTIoN.- Consumption is said to
be most ably discussed by DR.. Henry Mac
Cormac, of Belfast, Ireland, in volume
recently published by Longmans & Co.,
London. There are two forms of consump-
tion--that which is hereditary ard that
which is induced. The latter-the main
topic discussed by DR.. MacCormac-he is
persuaded has its origin in rebreathing ex-
pired air. Those OF o delicate organization
should sleep alone, and if possible in spa
cious rooms. That would insure larger
supply of pure, uncontaminated air. On
retiring, never omit raising the window
sash slightly. When the dormitory is
small, if not carefully ventilated, oxygen,
the essential element that supports life, is
quickly exhausted, and the individual takes
back into the lungs carbonic acid gas,
which destroys life. Thus the whole sys-
TEN becomes deranged, the air cells ulce-
rate, and, with the destruction of those
the whole bronchial region falls into dis
ease. Fresh atmospheric air was intended to
be inhaled. 1t is the source of vitality.
When the air is charged with excessive
humidity, avoid unnecessary exposure /; but
clear weather, bright sun, and airy
sleeping rooms promote health and lon-
gevity.

Tho Right will Conauor.

Await the issue. In all battles, If you
await the issue, each fighter has prospered
according to his right. His right and his
might, at the close of the account, were
one and the same. He has fought with all
his might, and in exact proportion to all
his right he has prevailed. His very death
is no victory over him. He dies, indeed,
but his work lives, very truly lives. A
heroic Wallace quartered on the scaffold,
cannot hinder that his Scotland become,
one day, part of England, but he does
hinder that it become, on tyrannous terms,
part of it; commands still, as with o
Gods voice, from his old Valhalla and
Temple of the Bran, that there be just,
real union as of brother and brother, not
false and merely semblant one as of slave
and master.
Fight on, thou brave, true heart, and
falter not through dark fortune and through
bright. The cause thou fghtest for, so far
as it is true, no farther, yet precisely so
far, is very sure ofvictory. The falsehood
alone of it will be conquered, will be abol-
ished, as it ought to be, but the truth of it
is part of natures own laws-co-operates
with the worlds eternal tendencies, and
cannot be conquered. Carlyle.

BLOOD AS Disqualification having
been drawn by Prof. Panum, of the univer-
sity of Copenhagen, to the amount Of nutri-'
tious matter contained in blood and usually
entirely lost, DR.. Nielsen, of that city, has
been endeavoring to solve the problem of
fixing the blood in forms suitable for food,
and at the same time capable Of preserva-
ton, namely: First, as sausages, buildings,
and cakes-being mixed with fat, meal,
sugar, salt, and few spices--to serve as
amuch cheaper compensation or substitute
for meat, and intended more especially for
the use of the poorer classes and, second,
as blood-chocolate, more especially suitable
to be used in hospitals, as well as otherwise
in medical practice, in which latter form it
has been recommended by Prof. Panum,
at meeting of physicians at Copenhagen,
and is now being employed in some of the
hospitals of that city.

AxLEs OF ONE WIDTH.-A popular
error, which bears hard on the horses, is
the custom of making the axles of convey
ances of oil sorts, of one uniform width.
This custom is of ancient date, and it has
caused great detriment to our public high
ways, both in town and country. 1t is not,
perhaps, saying too much to assert that the
uniform adherence to it has cost our high
way department for the last fifty years,
