The Dodgeville Chronicle has yet
to hear of the first Republican paper
in the State of Wisconsin which
either directly or indirectly opposes the
enforcement of the railroad law.
Of Senator Carpenters opinion
The Winneconne Item says: "This
decision is worth far more than that
of Messrs. Curtis and Everts
from the fact that it is not purchas-
ed opinion. a &.
The most convincing proof to The
La Crosse Republican, that Prof.
Swing is not Presbyterian is his
readiness to succumb to pressure like
this, and leave his friends in the
lurch at the moment of victory. " .@
This Hudson Star says: ''This
letter, coming from lawyer of such
acknowledged emineDce as Senator
Carpenter, is fair offset to the
opinions Of Messrs. Curtis and
Evarts against the constitutionality
of the law in question. 4 q

Democrat, on the latest proclamation
of Governor Taylor, says: 1.-The
propriety or necessity of its publica'
ton. however,is another matter, con-
corning which, perhaps. it is not

Says The La Crosse Republican: 1--WE pub
lsh today the blatherskite circular of Gov.
Taylor. We considered his first proclama
ton entirely uncallcd fer, thinking that he
ought to go on and force the companies to
obey the laws, instead OF scolding at them
from his official seat, and if that was so in
regard to the proclamation, what shall be
said OF this weak and silly production? The
King of Israel said to Benhadad, King of sy
ria. "Let not him thai girdeth on his harness
boast himrelfas he that putteth 1t off, This
would be good maxim for Gov. Taylor to
bear In mind. He should remember that it is
his duty first to do something in order to earn
the right to speak. 1his eternal aow of

RECIPES.

To Remove the Iron Taste from New
KettleS.-Boil handful of hay in them,
and repeat the process if necessary. Hay
water is great sweetener Of tin, wooden
and iron ware. In Irish dairies everything
used for milk is scalded with hay water.
Picking ArtichokeS,-Slico the artichokes
as thin as cucumbers boil until soitened a
little in strong salted water. Skim out into
a jar, and pour over them boiling hot vine-
gar, spiced with pepper, cloves and cinnamon.
A little chopped onion added to the arti-
chokes gives them better flavor.
To Cook Artichokes ,Oih Cream.-Slice
the artichokes as directed for picking, aud
boil until very tender; it will take about 20
to 30 minutes to cook them. Skim them
out of the water turn cup of cream into
a saucepan add the slices, and season high
ly with pepper and salt. Boil up once, and
serve upon a hot platter or thin slice of
toasted bread A little chopped onion adds
a nice relish to this dish or few celery
seeds can be sprinkled in for a seasoning.
Thus cooked it makes very delicious vege-
table.

we're fat early for the market, where they
brought the highest price. The crop of
wool was larger and better, and my cattle
found a ready sale, while the farm showed
improvements in all the crops. and my inan-
cial record showed a clear gain Of over two
hundred dollars per year since had fed
grain largely to all my stock.
l then looked at the mans stock and crops.
His stock has fallen off largely the last FIVE
years, owing to the lessening of crops, and he
says the land in Vermont is all run out. His
cows are thin in flesh and their hair sticks
up like the quils of hedgehog, and as 1
looked at them did not wonder he wanted
to get rid Of them.

PATENT ARTIFioIAL CHEESE.

The Utica Herald remarks as follows up
on the manufacture OF a new kind Of cheese,
for which patent was recently granted {:
The insertion OF the prepared solid fat OF
the body to take the place OF the fat taken
from the milk is not alone employed TO make
an imitation Of butter. 1t is reported that,
as fat and buttermilk are employed to make
artificial butter, 30 fat and skim-milk are
used to make artificial cheese. The aims in-
volved arc similar in either case, although
the methods Of manipulation are, Of course,
varied. 1t is reported that factory is in
operation in Brooklyn, where the olein and
margarin expressed from the intestine fat Of
cattle is intimately mixed with skim-milk,
and the rennet then poured in, producing a
curd rich in oil, which can be cured, aud
sold for cheese. Here we have process for
putting back into skim.mik an animal oil
in the place of the cream which has been re-
moved. We have heard that something of
this kind has been practieed nearer to Utica
than Brooklyn. 1t is an ingenious
device for adulteration, and nothing
more nor less. No matter if the
oil derived from the tallow be chemically
pure, still the miuglng Of it with milk to
take the place Of cream is adulteratiou, and
though it may not be change of compost
ton which produces an unhealthfu material,
it is change which occasions loss of val
ne. Thus the schemes for artificial butter
and cheese are fraudulent at the outset,
even when we suppose that none but the pur-
est oils and fats arc used. If these COM
pounds come into any wide consumption
there will be materials used variously dis
guised which are wholly unfit for entrance
into the system. Then will the evils Of an
enterprise which now seems only mildly OBJ
jectionable be recognized and deprecated.

WHISTLE AND HOE.


There's a boy just over the garden fence,
Who is whistling all through the livelong days
And his work is not just mere pretense,
For you see the weeds he has cut away.
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you go,
Shorten the row
By the songs you know.
Not a word Of bemoaning his task hear,
Ho has scarcely time for a growl, know,
For his whistle sounds SO merry and cloar,
lie must find some pleasure in every row.
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you go,
Shorten the row
By the songs you know.
But then, while you whistle, bo suro that you hoo
For If you are idle the briars will spread;
And whistle alone to the end of the row,
May do for the woods, but is bad for tho bread.

etc., to feed them upon, is there no way Of
soiling them, to keep them in good working
order, as we do our cows in the dry time oil
summer. 1t is an old saying alive like pigs
in the clover !" now suppose there might
have been something in the maxim, or il
would not have stood the test of time 80
well, and this will surely direct to my que
ry, viz. can pigs bo carried on through SUM
mer on green stuff, like clover, lucerne, fod-
der corn, etc., after they get advanced
enough to cut, or is thcro something or any
thing better in the soiling line than the
above aud as it will be May or June before
these will be ready to cut to any amount,
what can feed upon during the early spring
to keep my flock iu good roofing condition ?
G. q. PARKER.
Winchendon, May 8, 1874.
We once heard close calculating, prac-
tical farmer say that he did not believe it
paid to work swine, and we know that old
Col. Jacques of Ten Hills farm in Somcr-
vile, genius in his way, always maintained
that it was the best economy to "put pigs on
TO their belly" at nine months old, that is to
fat and kill them young. We incline to
think he was right. Nevertheless there can
be no doubt that manure under the barn is
greatly improved by the mixing and working
which a few swine will effect. This can be
done to some extent, as an incident, but to
keep swine for this special purpose is another
matter. We should want to count the cost
Of it carefully before we undertook it.
Pigs can be summered at pasture very
well and cheaply. We have known instan-
ces Of this whore they have lived almost
wholly on clover and the roots of other
plants which infest old pastures. There is
nothing more healthful, but you could hard
ly expect to get a very rapid growth on
them without some extra feed Kept at
pasture till October, and then put up to fat,
they ought to gain rapidly.
Pigs ought to have access to plenty OF
water To promote disposition to root cx-
tensively, probably corn in the kernel and
scattered about rromiscuously, is as good as
anything. Potatoes and raw roots are
always useful, especially beets.-Massachu'

soil to become warmed under the suns rays
more rapidly and more highly than would be
the case otherwise. This fact would partly
account for tho good effects reported Of it in
cold climates.
Charcoal has been reputed to act as fer
tilizer because Of its absorbent power for
ammonia. 1t does, in fact, condense in its
pores 90 to 100 times its bulk of ammonia
gas, when its pores are perfectly free from
air moisture and all other gases, and when
the ammonia gas is also unmixed with other
gases. But these conditions never exist in
nature, and the fact is that charcoal exposed
to the air never contains or absorbs any inn
portant amount OF ammonia, and does not
fertilize by acting as a means Of collecting
and storing this gas.
Charcoal is a powerful oxidizing agent,
and this quality may not unlikely como in
to play usefuly when it is mixed with the
soil. DR.. Stenhouse was the first to show
that the offensive gases which escape from
putrefying animal matters are deodorized
and destroyed when made to pass layer Of
charcoal dust, and that the result is brought
about by the oxygen gas condensed in the
pores of the charcoal. A dead rat nicely
buried in cigar box so as to be surrounded
at all points by an inch of charcoal powder,
decays to bone and fur without manifesting
any odor of putrefaction, so that it might
stand on a parlor table and not reveal its
contents to the most sensitive nostrils The
gaseous products of decay under such
conditions are carbonic acid, ammonia,
and WATER or the same that would result
were the ordinary efluvium of putrefying
flesh burned in furnace. The soil often,
if not always, contains nitrogen in combina-
tion with some form of humus, which is in
ert, or at least not Immediately available as
food to crops. Charcoal, we should antic-
ipate, would hasten or set up oxidation of
these matters, and might liberate a portion
of this inactive nitrogen in the form Of am
monia or of nitrates, and thus enhanco the
fertility of the soil. This is, however, but
a speculation, bit Of theory, and while
probable enough to warrant investigation,
must not be accepted as a fact until it has
been proved to be such.
AS direct fertilizer, 4. e., by virtue of
anything it can yield Of its own substance
to crops, charcoal cannot be regarded as Of
much value. 1t contains Of course, if it
has not been washed by water, the ash ele-
made, and when applied in large quantity,
the potash, lime, &c, which it carries upon
the land may easily produce striking effect
upon poor soil. This kind Of effect cannot
last more than a single season, and on a soil
in fairly good condition would commonly
| make no show.

How consoling it is for woman to feel
that she has something to fall back on, if
her parents or husband should be taken
away, and know that she will not starve or
fall into sin
There is entirely too much of this looking
down upon woman because she earns her
own living. Why is it considered more de-
grading for woman to work than man
Does not one have to eat, drink and live, as
well as the other and does she get her
board or clothing any cheaper than man?
Then why should she not work in spite of
her friends ? supereilious looks Per-
haps they would rather see her fold her
hands and slowly pine away for want of
something to eat.
