VARIATION OF COMPONENT
PARTS OF MILK.

Prof. Boedeker has aualyzed, says the
Medical Press and Circular, the milk of
healthy COW at various times of the day,
with view of determining the changes in
the relative amount OF its constituents. He
found that the solids Of the evenings milk
(13 per cent exceeded those of the morn
ing's milk 40 per cent?, while the water
contained in the fluid was diminished from
SO per cent. to SO per cent. The fatty
matters gradually increase as the day pro-
crosses in the morning they amount TO
2.17 per cent, at noon to 263 per cent,
and in the evening to SAP per cent, so
that, if 10 ounces Of mornings milk will
yield nearly half an ounce Of butter, about
double this quantity can be obtained from
the evenings milk, The casein is also in.
creased in the evenings milk from 2.24 to
40 per cent but the albumen is dimin-
ished from 0.44 per cent. to 0.Sl per cent
Sugar is least abundant at midnight (4.l9
per cent? and most plentiful at noon (4.72
per cent?. The percentage OF the salts
undergoes no change at any time Of the day.

A WOMAN WHO SCULPTUR IN
BUTTER.

Larkin q. Mead's snow statues are paral-
leled out in Arksansas by the butter busts
modelled by Mrs. Caroline s. Brooks, of
Helena, and if we may trust the reports
America has II remarkable artist developing
in the person OF that excellent housewife
Mrs. Brooks began to sculpture faces in the
butter pats she sent to market, her tools be-
ing II common paddle, cedar sticks, broom
straws and came's hair pencils In II brief
time her work became the marvel of the
neighborhoOd, and one of them was exhibit
ed in Memphis and won much admiration.
Her most remarkable work, The Dreaming
Iolanthe," is, the Commercial says, soon to
be exhibited in Cincinnati, her native place.
This Iolanthe is the heroine OF the pretty
drama of d" King Rene's Daughter by the
Danish poet Henry Herr; blind princess,
from whom, up to her 10th year, the knowl-
edge of her misfortune has been withheld.
Mrs Brooks presents a bust of the innocent
and beautiful girl rs she lies sleeping and
almost glorified by happy dreams. 1t is Of
somewhat less than life-size, in high relief
in the concavity of II large tin pan. The
head is but slightly turned from full front
view The butter is almost white Its
translucence gives to the complexion II
richness beyond alabaster, and u softness
and smoothness that are very striking. The
profile is pure Grecian. The hair ripples
back in waves, and the lips are parted with
II heavenly smile. The harmony OF the face
is exquisite. The ear is quite marvel of
delicate manipulation. In the absence of
all technical knowledge of art, Mrs. Brooks
wrought at the bust until it realized to her
completely the image in her imagination,
and she has succeeded in creating face that
may yet make her famous. Artists say that
in spite of the mobility of the model, cast
can be taken of it. The fact that she has
wrought IN butter instead of clay of course
counts nothing against her possession of
dawning genius as Il sculptor.

NERVOUS MOTHERS.

There Is sentiment among American
women which makes il de rigteur for
mother 10 have her children always about
her. If she does not nurse her infant-and
modern American mothers can rarely do
that-she has it constantly in her presence;
and pufposely employsAn ignorant and mex
perienced nurse, for the sake Of having one
about her who will submit to be constantly
harassed by directions. The practical re-
suit of this sentimental maternity is really
disastrous. American women are nervous
American men are nervous. Naturally they
have nervous children; children of slender
physique, but easily excited into an exhibit
tion of precocious intelligence, which is con-
sidered genius. To make it notice carly,
to make it talk soon, and then to report its
wise and witty sayings, is the aim of the
fond American mothers life. Instead of
letting the little creature suck its fist and
grow fat, it is jumped and danced and see
sawed, confused with unmeaning sounds,
bewldered by unceasing gabble. 1t is made
to know its "own papa and mamma" before
it knows there are such things as papas and
mammas. 1t is made to repeat like y par
meaning ard pick the eyes, nose, mouth,
and other features out of every visitors
head. The English method of placing very
young children in the hands of experienced
nurses, and making them responsible, is
much better. The nervous activity of the
mother would then cease to irrtate, and
only act as an occasional stimulus. The
child would be subject to less excitement
less indulgence, more regular and healthy
habits. The trained mechanism of the
nurse, which admits of little outward man
Hesitation OF feeling, surrounds her charge
with just the quiet, uneventful atmosphere

For the VERMONT FARMER
MOSES HUNTLEY'S FARM.

Some days ago | had an opportunity to
inspect this gentleman's farm. A few words
in regard to it may interest your readers.
Mr., Hunteys is hill farm, | think one Of
the highest located in St. Johnsbury. 1t is
on the hills miles east OF st. Johnsbury
Center. 1t consists of 100 acres pasture,
80 acres tillOge, and % acres woodland,
making 225 acres in all. About one half
of the land lies soping to the north, and an
equal amount to the SOUTH the soil being
very good but not remarkably easy to cul-
tivate. He has a sugar orchard of 700
trees, and others growing. Mr.. Huntley
bas long practiced raising hops. For sever
al years he has been fortunate in his sales.
Last year the sales from FIVE acres amounted
to Sl265.50, an average of S25310 to the
acre. He wintered 20 sheep, from which he
sold wool and lambs to the amount Of $3.50.
Mr. Huntey at this time has lS cows
and considerable other stock. lie has the
knack Of mixing gilt edge into the feed of
his cows, as it should be. Butter from his
dairy testlfes that there is no better butter
maker in Vermont than Mrs. Huntley 1t
is always just right in fneness and flavor
Everything from his dairy sells for the high
est market price, and he could dispose OF
ten times the amount at the same figures,
il he had it.
Last year he built large farmhouse. |
have seldom seen one so we'll arranged and
substantially made His barns are capa'
cious and we'll adapted to his wants Mr.
Huntey takes a common.sense view of the
transportation question as iar as he is con-
cerned He raises his own breadstuf
Wheat and corn grow on his farm for the
reason that he understands how to make
them grow, He don't believe in taking his
meals in Illinois while tending his Aocks OF
the hills Of Vermont.
Finally Mr., Huntley is a Granger and a
teetOtaller. No one who uses either tobacco
or intoxicating drinks ever finds employ
ment on his farm, he so utterly detests the
two vices, drinking and smoking

EXCITEMENT OF cows --EFFEoT
ON CREAM.

Some curious facts on this point were
brought out in discussion at the Massa-
chusetts State Board of Agriculture. last
winter. This may account for some Of the
sudden changes 10 amounto of butter obtained
from apparently the same quantity Of milk
DR.. Sturtevant, of South birmingham, said,
"under the same feed and under the same
circumstances, the same COW gave one day,
nine and half per cent. Of cream, and an
other day eighteen per cent. Of cream" There
upon, Mr.. Lewis, an old experienced dairy
man, said al can tell bigger story than
that. | have taken a good deal Of pains to
test the value OF my milk that ! have
worked into cheese. l have graduated
glasses for the purpose, and have found a
COW whose uniform percentage was eighteen
per cent. reduced 10 six in twelve hours, not
from any change Of food, but from q little
excitement You gentlemen who make but
ter, be careful and adopt my advice and
always treat your COW kindly and gently;
never get her excited, because every ounce
Of excitement will take from her milk one
per cent. Of cream. l have known COW,
abused by furious. brutal mixer, and the
percentage of her cream went down oHe.halE
1t is astonishing what an effect excitement
has on the percentage of cream in the milk
that COW produces. You will be aston
ished if you will make the test, and make
it carefully. have known COW, excited
from natural causes, to drop in her percent
age of cream in her milk from fourteen to
six per cent. 10 IL hours SO would again
repeat, whoever abuses his COW knocks out
of his milk large percentage of the cream"
1t has long been known that any ill-treat-
ment of the COW influences the quantity Of
milk, but that the proportional amount of
cream was also reduced had not been SO
well noted Some careful dairymen have long
since prohibited even talking while milking,
finding that even this influenced the quanti-
ty Of milk, and now it appears that not on
ly the quantity of the milk is reduced, but
the proportion of cream is also reduced one
half by any undue excitement.

they ever dreamed of. We recognize the
law Of progression aud change as eternal,
aud just as much in force to-day as a thous-
and or hundred years ago, in agriculture
as in all other arts and sciences, aud that all
progression in agriculture will not be exact.
" in the one direct path of our forefathers
or even Of Liebig or Agassz, tall honor to
their memory and teachngs,) is fact which
does not seem to be comprehended by large
part of our population, aud we fear many of
them will not live long enough to compre.
hend it iu this world but will need the clear
er perception of the next to open their eyes
and uuders aadings to the action Of this sim
pie but never-ceasing law. The result of the
lukewarmnness Of the nOn-progressive class
OF farmers in their business, will be that the
go.ahead farmer who never relaxes his exer-
tions to secure to himself all the improve
ments created by experiment aud scientific
research, by reading and thinking, will soon
have ell the field to themselves, aud their
elder brethren will have to succumb to the
inevitable OF seek some other business for a
livelihood.
This is not country nor an age which
will brook old fogy notions, and the public
are quick to discern between those who know
how and are willing to attend to their busi-
ness, aud the drones Of the agricultural
world. A large part of our population al
ways have been and Of necessity ever will be
tllers of the soil, and we want young, talen-
ted, and uDprejudiced men to make this a
business aud a science educated to it and
to attend to it as SUCH aud they who repre-
sent the sot-diSant leading agriculturists,
we say, (hoping the reader will accept as
understood, the proper qualification Of the
assertion,) are the very reverse of this The
young farmer who has started out adopting
new and improved ways, those who study to
know that they are right, and that they are
acting in accordance with natural law and
the lights OF improved scientific research,
are fast pushing their senile and unwieldy
rivals out Of the way. A new era has
dawncd for agriculture in this country, and
it seems healthy atmosphere pervades it in
stead of the Don-progressive spirit which so
long retarded its progress. Beneath the
vivifying influences of the new regime, and in
the absence of antedeluvian notions, farmers
will have chance to get their own, pecu-
uiarily, socially, Intellectually, aud politi-
cialiy, and swindling schemes and self-sufi.

There is something in tins world more
horrible than human suffering, and that is
our indifference to il.
Men are most apt to believe what they
least understand; and through the lust of
human wit obscure things are most easily
credited.
Superior men and yet not always vrtuous,
there have been alas! But there never has
been mean man, and at the same time vir-
tuOus.
A man m ay be cheerful and contented in
celibAcy. but not happy it is an unnatural
state, and the best feelings OF his nature are
never called into action.
The real gentleman should be gentle in
everything, ut least in everything that de-
pendS on himself--in carriage, temper, aims,
desires
With stupidity and sound digestions man
may stand much. But what in these dull,
unimaginativo days are the terrors of con-
science to the diseases of the liver.
Let us carefully observe those good quail
ties wherein our enemies excel us; and on
deaVor to excel them by avoiding what Is
faulty, aud initiating what is excellent In
them.

Young men of Vermont, to you l would
appeal. The wealth and dignity of your
native state will soon rest with you. Let
me urge you to build up homes among your
native hills Feed your stock well, and keep
none but the BEST thus you will increase
the fatness Of your soil from year to year.
Add beauty to the landscape and wealth to
yourself by recovering the side hills and
waste places with forest trees, giving pleas
ure to the eye of the weary traveller, and
building up monument of your industry
and patriotism. Adapt yourselves and your
business to the character of your soil and
the markets that surround you. Aim to ex-
Gel. Let your work not only be done in
season, but let it be we'll done. Let your
buildings as far as possible be located for
the convenience and comfort of the family
and the purposes of the farm. Adorn your
homes with trees, shrubs, and flowers thus
adding beauty to the view aud refinement to
every member of the family. Identify
yourself with the tilers of the soil and the
interests of your native state. Thus you
will find competence of wealth and happi-
| ness in A life we'll spent
