that recently "a meeting was

to grade a road up the Salt

would take S25 900 stock in the

stock sales, they continued
their meeting from early morn
ing till 10 O'Clock at night
There were but very few who
were not ashamed to run the
blockade for the sake of a
drink, and the consequence
was that it was the quietest
stock sale day ever held In
Macarthur, and many husbands
we're returned to their families
duly sober, who were not wont
TO return so. To outside ap-
pearances the situation is the
same as 1t was three weeks ago.

The ladies', while they have
not yet induced Mr.. O Ket ie to

encouraged at the effect their
meetings are having upon the
people at large who witness
heir devotion. An instance
to the point came under our
observation last week. Mr..

FARM HELP.
ny ALEXANDER HYDE.

One Of the greatest drawbacks in modern
agriculture is generally considered to be the
difficulty of procuring good farm help at any
reasonable rate. The owner OF $4,000
farm said to US, within a year or two. 81
have hired the last man | will ever hire by
the month. | engage man in the spring,
and he works with some faithtulness for a
month or two and when | get into the pres
sure Of business he strikes for higher wages,
or, hearing OK some better situation else
where leaves me without ceremony. | am
tired Of waiting on hirelngs that are not
ready for work till ! O'Clock in the morning,
and must quit at q in the evening"" The
blame of all the trouble with help, both in
the kitchen and on the farm, is usually put
on the man and the maid, not on the master
aud mistress. We are far from thinking or
saying that servants-beg pardon, we mean
hired men aud women-are immaculate, al
ways capable and faithful, and that masters
aud msitresses-bcg pardon again, we mean
employors-aro selfish and tyrannical but
VIC do think, aud are bold to affirm it, that
the employer has the long arm OF the lever
in his or her hand that, as between capital
and labor, the power is with the capitalist.
'lis the employer who is the positive quan.
tity in this relation. lie does the hiring,
thinking, planning, governing
Moreover, as general rule, as is the
master so is the man. The former impresses
himself on the latter, not the latter on the
former. The relation between employer and
employed is analogous to that between par
ent aud child There is not the same degree
OF respect and obedience exacted from ser.
want as from child, nor is the relation so
permanent, but for the time being the will
Of the master governs, or should govern and
the duty OF the man is to obey. Not every
father knows how to make his children mind,
but whenever these are disobedient we do
not blame them altogether. A large share
Of the defect OF children is, or should be,
chargeable to the want Of tact on the part OF
parents.
1t may be said that a father has a right to
govern his children, and that the innate love
Of children for their parents gives the latter
greatly the advantage over employers. Very
true; and therefore the father is more re-
| sponslble for tho conduct OF his children than
is the employer for his servants but the
employer also has the right to command
those whom he employs, and they are under
obligations to obey, and for any uniaithiul-
ness on their part the law aud common sense
hold him responsible, The obedience and
responsibility arc limited, but they exist just
as truly in the relation of master and SER
want as in that OF parent aud child and we
therefore hold that the common custom OF
laying all tho blame of the trouble with
farm help on the employed is unjust.

with tho superintendent of schools, and
when we 60 into school aud hear the teach.

A CHINESE GOOSE HERD.

\ man who has been to Pekin, and who
did some "peekin " to good advantage, gives
this amusing description Of n fowl.pcdder
among the curious street sights aud street
characters of that northern " celestial me-.
tropolis:
And then there was the goose-rancher--a
fellow who drove hundred geese before him
about the city aud tried to sell them. lie
had pole ten feet long, with n crook in the
end OF it, and occasionally goose would
branch out from the flock aud make lively
break around the corner with wings half
lifted aud neck stretched to the utmost. Did
the goosc.merchant get excited No. lie
took his pole and reached after that goose
with unspeakablo ng:froid, took hitch
round his neck, aud "yanked him back to
his place in the flock without an effort. lie
steered his geese with that stick as another
mau would steer yawl.
x few hours alterward we saw him sitting
on stone at the corner in the midst Of the
turmoil, sound asleep IN the sun, with his
geese squatting around him OF dodgng out
Of the way Of asses and men, We came by
again within the hour and he was taking ac-
count of stock to see whether any of his flock
had strayed or been stolen. The way he did
it was unique. lie put the end Of his stick
within SIX inches of stone wall, and made
the geese march in single file between it and
the wall. lie counted them as they went
by. There was no dodging that arrange
ment.

menced with more stock than can be kept
well. 1t is common error 10 this section
to keep more COWS than their pastures af-
ford feed for. In their efforts to get as
much as possible from the cheese factories,
eight or ten cows are kept in pasture none
too large for six or seven and the result is,
their receipts are no larger than if the lesser
number only were kept. 1t is better to sell
portion Of our stock, and procure abun-
dant food for the rest than to poorly keep
them all. Sheep that have been poorly win
tered will not yield so many pounds Of wool
as those well kept, and the wool will be in.

Every observing farmer knows this to be the

to themselves, and also to the welfare of
their animals. do not mean by this that
it is good policy to let feed go TO waste for

little stock as by keeping too much. IL
should be the rule OF every farmer 10 keep

DARK BRAHMAS.

Much has been said lately about this use
ful and popular fowl My opinion is that
there is not a more thoroughly useful fowl in
existence. AS proof Of what state, al
low me to make Il few remarks.
A friend OF mine who is quite well.known
as Brahma breeder, has this year reared
sxty-one chickens. The first brood consist
ed Of eleven from eleven eggs, turning out to
be six cockerels and five pullets; this lot Of
chicks were sixteen weeks old on May 3lst,
aud on that day pair (cockerel aud pulletl
weighed exactly eleven pounds. Three Of
the five pulets commenced laying at fifteen
weeks old, and laid nine eggs during the last
week. These two facts are quite sufficient
to prove the qualities OF the Brahma, not
only as d rapidly-growing bird, but also as Il
good layer. Some Of your readers perhaps,
may say, All but this is only solitary
instance In answer to that, state the
following The same breeders birds in 1871
commenced laying at seventeen weeks old
In 1872 the pullets commenced laying at
sixteen weeks, aud this year week in ad.
vance. The gentleman to whom | allude is
Mr.. w. Mansfield, Of Cambridge, and | have
no doubt that the forward condition of his
birds is simply due to the high feeding, aud
good attention which they receive at his
hands
4 few more remarks and have done.
No man can breed good fowls without care
aud trouble, but to be really successful he
must have a knowledge Of the habits and
wants Of the variety he cultivates, which
takes long time to acquire. | have bred
different varieties, but have found the Brah-
ma equal, if no. superior to all.-F W.

DAIRY MAxlMS.

Milk will sour quicker if the COWS are fed
sour milk. This IS not Objectionable for but
ter making but is Objectionable for cheese
making.
Cream from larrow cows milk will not
all come if churued with cream from new
milch cows. The mixed cream will make
more butter than the cream from new milch
cows alone, but not as much as if the cream
il churned separately.
If | wero receiving milk from low, swampy
grounds, or from pastures filled with weeds,
or from prairies, would scald it. BY heat
ing to 100" | would drive away the taint,
but the scalding would also drive away the
aroma Of the timothy, clover, or June grass.
Cream can be raised by freezing, but this
is not practiced in this country.
Ii milk is kept at low temperature, the
cream rises slowly.
The effect of sudden change in milk or
cream is to injurc the keeping quality of
butter.
Whey, as it comes from the factory, inva-
riably has bad effect when fed to cows. II
fed while fresh aud sweet it is not objection.
able.
Raising cream by freezing does not expel
the animal odor Neither does it destroy
germs in milk
The cream which rises first makes bet
ter quality Of butter than that which rises
last.
The more aroma in butter, the less time 1t
will keep so with cheese.
In the spring would work all the cream
into the cheese, to ripen it sooner and make
it better, and work it off at spring prices
Later in the season would skim more.
The cream from ordinary cows can nearly
all be worked into cheese. 1t could not be
done with milk from the Jerseys or other
cows whose cream rises slowly.
To avoid greasy butter, churn with pres.
sure instead of friction. The dash churn
brings butter by pressure, and makes better
butter than most kinds OF churns. Butter
should also be worked by pressure instead
Of friction. The ladle or worker should not
be drawn across the butter, but pressed down
upon it.
Milk while being scallcd for taint should
be stirred.
Results favor shallow setting instead Of
deep setting. The amount of cream seems
larger sometimes from deep setting, but it is
owing to the fact that in deep setting the
large globules carry with them considerable
milk. The amount of butter from deep set
ting will be less than from shallow setting -
