High Feeding and Good Butter.

At recent exhibition of the Chester
county agricultural society, Pennsylva-
MIA, Isaac Acker received the first prize
on butter, who being called on for his
mode of management, remarked as fol-
lows He feeds ten quarts of corn
meal and bran to each COW per day, with
hay; does not think that corn fodder
makes good butter. The temperature
of the CT cam at churning was fifty-seven
degrees and was churned from twelve to
twenty minutes; use six ounces of salt
and three ounces of white sugar to TWEEN
ty pounds of butter; use an Embree
butter worker, with sponge and cloth,
and did not wash the butter with water
Mr.. Acker believes that the essentials
to make the dairy business pay are
good cows, we'll fed and well taken care
of, good and convenient dairy houses
and appliances, and then produce a
good article and sell it at high price.
One year ago his COWS averaged $50
pounds each.

Gluttony.

A retired physician writes Chow
does it happen that amid the everlasting
cry against drunkenness, we never hear
word against its sister evil, gluttony ?
think I can ASSET with truth that, in
long practice, three have died among
my patients from over-eating where one
has died from drink. Whence comes
apoplexy, paralysis, dyspepsia, and a
host of other diseases, but from too
much and too rich food taken under the
most imprudent circumstances? And
yet we hear of no society formed to pre-
vent this growing vice. A man eats till
he drops down and expires with apo
plexy by the roadside, when up comes
a coroner with u jury of twelve good
men and true, who pronounce a verdict,
Died from intemperance.' So he did,
but what kind of intemperance vas it?
l have heard more than one minister in
the pulpit expatiate with great vehe-
mence against the sin of drunkenness,
whose very appearance was proof posi-
tive that he was pre-eminently guilty
of gluttony."

THE New Modern science
having demonstrated that alcohol is
"neither food nor physic," but, on the
contrary, a species of poison, the intro
duction of potent tonic which is en-
tirely free from it, is certainly a subject
for congratulation. DR.. Walkers Vine
gar Bitters is medicine which may be
fairly characterized as an unobjection-
able specific for many distressing and
dangerous diseases.
Temperance organizations, heretofore
in favor of permitting the sale of alco-
hol for medical purposes, are of opinion
that Vinegar Bitters possesses all the
efficacy as an invigorant that has ever
been even claimed for spirituous stimu'
lants, and on this account, as well as
because of the singular success which
has attended its use in dyspepsia, liver
complaint, disorders of the bowels, ner.
vous disease, general debility, and all
maladies growing out of intemperance,
they warmly recommend it as restora.

Electric Butter.

The Washington Chronicle gives an
account of the exhibition of the wonder
full power of lightning churn," at
the residence of the commissioner of
patents, when large company Of ladies
and gentlemen were present to witness
pint of milk converted into a pound
of butter in less than one minute. 1t
is the general opinion that the butter is
made to come" in this singular man
ner, by a galvanic current produced by
warm water, salt and saltpetre placed
within an outer metallic cylinder which
incloses the one in which the milk is
placed.
The inventor says the peculiar COM
position and preparation of the metal
used in the several cylinders of the
churn are secrets which will not be
made public. 1t is claimed that practi-
cally working, five pounds of butter can
be made out of gallon of milk yet as
high as seven pounds and three quar-
tiers have been made out of one gallon
of pure milk, fresh from the COW. Some
objection has been urged against calling
the product so obtained butter. 1t APP
pears to be the result of granulation of
all the nutritious particles of the milk
in a mass, resembling, in all respects,
ordinary butter, from which it cannot
be distinguished. 1t can be manufac-
tured at a cost of about five cents
pound.

The Tricks of Three Arkansas Trav-
e1erS

There is mystical importance about
the number three. "Two are COM
pany," says an old proverb, d" and three
make a crowd" The three tailors of
Tooley street were sufficiently multitu-
dinous to represent the people of Eng
land. "There were three sailors of
Bristol City," Thackeray says, "what
took a vessel and went to sea-" The
three wise men of Gotham are familiar
myths. Perhaps it was this numerical
importance of the number three which
placed handsome sum in the hands of
three wise men of Arkansas, who stole
a county. They lived at Baxter Springs.
In their day and generation they were
wise men, for they took a covered wagon
and event west" In the broad and
beautiful valley of the sparkling Arkan-
sas they halted their jaded team and
cast lots for Office proceeding which
stamped them true Americans, and fit
ing west. The offices they chose were
county offices, and to support their
claims a county was needed. So they
roamed round with their wagon and call
ed the spot Barbour county. There was
in this romantic county then a prod
igy-too many offices for the number of
candidates. It required only a change
of names, and the three wise men from
the east assumed half-a-dozen additional
names-each name an Office, and each
Office a sinecnre. In this earthly para
disc there was no party strike to mar
the harmony of an election, and no
money was needed to secure votes. And
so it turned out on the following day
that Barbour county was represented in
the Arkansa legislature by one-third
of its population, the Hon. W. Fl. Hor-
ner. Armed with his credentials, this
unanimously chosen representative of
the serene valley of the Arkansas found
his way to the capitol. While other
more pretentious persons were SQUAD
ling, he drew up his little bill. 1t was
a moderate request. It merely asked
authority to issue bonds, build bridges,
and otherwise improve Barbour coun y.
OF course it was passed, for the SEES.
sion was nearly at an end. The bonds
bour negotiated them. They sold we'll.
The county officers of Barbour received
their compensation the populace of
Barbour came in for their share not
man in the county but was benefited.
And then the covered wagon moved on,
leaving the broad and beautiful valley
of the Arkansas far behind. The earth
ly paradise is still there, but Barbour
county exists only on beautifully -engra.

ers paid unusually large sums Of money

LET Us ALL BE UNHAPPY ON SUNDAY.

We zealots, made up Of stiff clay,
The sour-looki1g children Of sorrow,
While not over-iolly to-day,
Resolve to be wretched tomorrow.
We can't for certainty tell
Whst mirth may modest us on Monday;
But, at least, to begin the week well,
Let us all be unhappy on Sunday.
That day, the calm season Of rest,
Shall come to us FREE zing and frigid;
gloom all our thoughts shall invest,
Such as Calvin would call over rigid.
With sermons from morning till night,
Well strive to be decent and dreary;
To preachers praise and delight,
Who ne'er think that sermons can weary.
All tradesmen cry up their own wares;
In this they agree well together
The mason by stone and lime swears
The tanner is always for leather;
The smith still for iron would go;
The schoomsster stands up for teaching;
And the parson would have you to know
There's nothing on earth like his preaching
The face of kind Nature is fair;
But our system obscures its efulgence;
How sweet is breath of fresh air
But our rules don't allow the indulgence.
These gardens. their walks and green bowers,
Might be free to the poor man for one day;
But no, the glad plants and gay flowers
Mustn't bloom or smell sweet on Sunday.
What though a good precept we strain
TIL hateful and hurtful we make It'll
What though, in thus pulling the rein,
We may draw it so tight as to break it
Abroad we forbid folks to roam,
For fear they get social or frisky;
But Of course they can't sit still at home,
And get dismaly drunk upon whisky.
Then, though we can't certainly tell
How mirth NAV modest us on Monday,
At least, to begin the week well,
Let us all be unhappy on Sunday.

A Hairless Horse.

An equine curiosity arrived recently
at San Francisco in the shape of hair
ess horse from Australia. The name of
this remarkable animal is Caoutchouc,
and he was captured in the neighbor-
hood of the Balloon river, Queensland,
when about two years old. He is now
about six years of age, of pure black
from the tip of his ears to the hoofs,
but without single hair on any part of
his body. The color is not unlike that
of a black horse very closely clipped,
and the microscope fails to detect sim
gle hair from nose to tail. He is a
gelding, about fifteen hands high, well
made and very compact, with fine, clean
legs, powerful forearms and thigh, and
clean, blood like, but unusually broad
head, from which sparkle a bright pair
of eyes beaming with good-temper and
docility.
