4 College Professor Sold.

From the Charlotte, n. c., Observer.
1t appears that one of the students at
Davidson College, who was too lazy to
do anything right, was in the habit of
cleaning out his lamp chimney by run
ming his finger down it as far as he
could, and twisting it around. After he
had cleaned it out in this partial man
ner, one day not long ago, a FELLOWSHIP
dent took it up and carried it to the
residence of one of the professors, with
the inquiry; why is itthat this chin
ney is smoked just up to this point and
no farther?" The learned gentleman
entered into an elaborate scientific ex-
PLANTATION of why it was, arguing with
great lucidness, and citing various au-
thorities to show the correctness of his
reasoning. When he had finished, the
student said to him: "No, sir, you are
wrong" "Why is it them" inquired
the Professor because the fellow
finger wasn't long enough to reach any
farther, replied the student

What Constitutes IL Good Cow.

four tubs good one. A single COW on

The WiIhered Branches

From time to time we have heard
more OF the singular blight which has
oeen discovered upon some kinds of
fru1t trees since the great storm of a
month ago. We have been greatly in
teres- ed III the following letter received
from Hon. Josiah Shull, of Zion. sec
Rotary of the State Dairymen's Associa-
ton. Mr. Shull writes
[ send you by this mail, branches
OF the apple and pear tree, withered
ana dead, as you find them, taken from
the trees IN the village of Mohawk. All
through the village, the singular phe-
nomenon is presented The apple and
pear trees have isolated branches, vary
ing, say, from three iuches to three feet
III length, scattered all through many
OF the trees, some trees containing but
a few and others hundreds of those
branches. The parts of the trees not
affected, appear perfectly thrifty-the
fruit full size for the time of the season.
This state of things was noticeable i'm
mediately after the great storm of the
18th OF June. | attribute it to the eff
fects Of electricity. The whole locality
must have been highly charged to have
been so uniformly affected. 1t is not
the effect of d bolt or chain, or the
whole of the trees would have been
killed. In one case, a small pear tree,
standing sheltered by two large cherry
trees, at least one-third of all the
branches were killed branches con-
tanning small pears, as seen by the sam
pie sent you. The cherry trees were
not affected, us L could find. Many of
those branches have the appearance of
beng exposed to a fire. While the
whole tree was exposed, certain por-
lions only, were injured and killed.
There is much wonderment and spec
ulatlon as to the cause of the dead
branches 50 suddenly, SO mysteriously,
and SO extensively appearing in the APP
pie and pear trees [ have thought it
a proper subject of inquiry, as to the
cause, and Of its prevalence, and of its
local character 1t certainly is not
caused by insects-it must be atmos-
pherlc, according to my belief. A wear
or two ago, branches of apple trees
similarly affected, were exhibited at a
meeting Of the Central New York Farm
ers' Club, but III that case, [ think, no
definite conclusion as to the cause was
arrived at.

Suggestions 10 Hairymcn.

J. Mich cows should have free access
at all times to good running water.
They should never be heated 10y
beng run. stoned or logged
B The utmost cleanliness should be
observed in milking, and by no means
vet the hands in the milk while milk
ing
l. No can Of milk should stand where
it viii absorb the tarHyard or stable
odor. on any other scent.
J. The milk should be strained and
we'll aired Immediately after having been
drawn from the cows.
g. Some arrangement for quickly and
ei'ectually cooling IS at all times very
desirable, and when the milk is kept at
home over night, is indispensable.
{. Scalding all vessels used about
milk ut least once day with boiling
water, and rinsing them at night with
cold water Is essential.
s. Keeping the strippings at home is
morally and legally as bad as watering.
> The milk should be sent to the
factory assoon after milking rs possible.
10. No milk to be delivered at the
factory after 8 o'clock P. NJ, or s o'clock
A. ~, in June, July and August, and
o'clock \. NJ, In April, May, Septem-
Der, October and November.
III. Any milk which does not habitu-
ally keep sweet and pure until , o'clock

self, and the cheese sold 10y itself, the
lurnisher or furnishers of such milk re-
Chewing only the actual avails of his

Dishonest Treasury Clerks.

Alexander Delmar, in Appletons'
Journal, describes one class of dishonest
persons who infest the Treasury De
partment. They are those who take
clerkships 'as a means of livelihood
while they are preparing themselves
for some other and more promising
career, such as that of lawyer, physician,
civil engineer, architect, etc. There
are many of this class IN office, and, as
a general thing, they make tolerably
worthless clerks. Ali their thoughts
are for the profession for which they
are preparing themselves; none for
the Government that pays them. The
moment the eye of their superior is
removed, out pops Kent's 'Commenta-
ries, or Woods therapeutics, from
their desks, and the theft of public
time, which has been interrupted for a
moment: is renewed. "
