FRENCH GOVERNMENT TOBACCO Con-
TRACTs.-A large quantity of American to-
bacco will be required by the Spanish gov.
cigarettes. The necessities of the French
mark ct are not less imposing. The French
government, as is well known, has mo
nopoly OF the tobacco manufactured in
France, and as it is now about TO compel
all the match manufacturers to transfer
their establishments to its centrol, 1t Is
more than probable the tobacco business
also will come under official supervision.
The quantity of kentucky, Virginia and
Mary land tobacco required this year is 50,
OOO, 900 lbs., to be delivered at Havre, Iior-
deaux and Marseilles. The bids ar to be
opened on the 18th OF April, at Paris. The
total amount this year by some 100000
Kentucky tobacco. and 100000 in Ohio.

STICK TO YOUR FARMS.

The feeling that you are settled
and fixed will induce you to 60 to
work to improve your farms, to
plant orchards, to set out shade
trees, to enclose pastures, to build
comfortable out-houses, and each
successive improvement is a bond
to bind you still closer to Your
homes. This will bring content
ment in the family. Your wives
and daughters will fall in love with
the country, your sons will love
home more than the grog-<hop, and
prefer farming to measuring tape
or professional loafng, and you
will be happy in seeing the con-
tented and cheerful faces Of your
families.
Make your home beautiful, con-
venient and pleasant, and your
children will love it above all other
places; they will leave it with re-
gret, think of it with fondness, come
back to it tjoyfully, and seek their
chief happiness around their home
fresides.
Women AMI children need more
than meat, bread and rsiment
more than acres Of corn and cot
ton spread out all around them
Their love of the beautiful must be
satisfied. Their tastes must be cul-
tivated. Their sensibilitles humor-
ed, not shocked. TO accomplish
this good end, home must be made
!ove'y, conveniences multiplied,
comforts provided, and cheerful
ness fostered.
There must be both sunshine and
shade, luscious fruits and fragrant
flowers, as we'll as corn and cotton.
The mind and heart as we'll as the
fields must be cultivated ; and then
intelligence and contentment viii
be the rule instead of exception.
Stick to, improve and beautlfy your
homesteads; for with this good
work comes contentment.

VALUE OF FODDER CoRN.-At

VALUE OF FODDER CoRN.-At
meeting of the Massachusetts Cheese
Factory Association. Addison H. Hol'
land, a Barre farmer, read an essay op
fodder corn. With seventeen COWS,
he experimental to see what its value
was IN producing milk; during the
month of July he turned his COWS in
to a good pasture, after having fed
them with fodder corn, and they show
ed a large falling off in milk. He
then, through August, soiled them
in the stable, feeding fodder corn, and
there was a gain in the production
of milk. In September they were
again turned into the moving (full
field, and they fell of. Fir. Holland
cures his corn by spreading it upon
the stone walls, and regards it as a
valuable feed for mich COWS when
we'll cured. He thinks fodder corn
the best crop there is to bridge over a
dry time with fed sixty or seventy
pounds per COW when they were kept
in short pasture.

TRAP FOR CUT-WoRMs.-T h
american Agriculturist gives the
following: An old shovel handle is
split for about a foot with a fine saw
The split portion is soaked in boiling
water to soften it, and the ends are
inserted into holes made in hoop Of
ring of wood two inches wide, one inch
thick aud eight inches in diameter
Iu the bottom Of the ring there are in
serted a number Of pieces Of au old
broom handle, projecting two inches
and placed not more than quarter o.
an inch apart. When this is pressed
into the earth around hill of corn OF
a cabbage plant it leaves circle Of
smooth round holes two inches deep
with compact sides and bottoms. The
cut.worms fall iuto these holes in their
nightly rambles, and may be found and
destroyed in the morning.

HINTS FOR STACKING HAY.-Tht
Pacific Rural Press says: MAKE
your stacks long and narrow. 1t vii
cure better, and there is less danger ot
its becoming musty; besides it will be
easier baling. The press can be
moved easier than YOU can pitch from
the rear of wide stack. IN building
the stack unload alternately on differ
ent sections of the stack; this will al
low the air to circulate through each
load before it is settled down by ano.
ther placed upon it. About three gal
Ions of salt thrown into load of hay
will preserve its sweetness. Three
quarts are recommended by hay far,

What drink is so well calculated

MILK AS A DIET AND ITS
EFFECT ON THE SYSTEM.

ThesIils considerable difference
of.opihioon on the subject Of a milk
diet. It is surrounded with mass
Of whims, of prejudices, and mis-
taken IDEAS, which are based more
on Individual fancies than upon cer-
tain facts. To one glass of milk
imbibed is believed to be a sure
proyocaticn of a bilious attack; to
another, a disordered stomach; to a
third, drowsiness, and so on,
through such category Of simple
though disagreeable ailments that
we look aghast at the farmer who
drains cup after cup of the fresh
pure liquid, time and again during
the day, and wonder at the resist
ing powers which his organization
must possess. The truth is howev-
er that milk is not unwholesome.-
On thecontrary, it contains good
substantial bone. muscle, flesh and
brain-producing substances, which,
assimilatiug quickly, act rapidly in
building up the body. Naturally,
we assert, it is nourishing; that it
does bring on certain troubles is new
ertheless true, but the cause is in the
individual stomach, not in the milk,
provided of course, the latter be
fresh and sweet. Milk diluted with
one-third lime water, it is said, will
not cause any one biliousness or
headache, and, if taken regularly,
will so strengthen the stomach as
to Danish these disorders. It may
be taken with acid Of some kind
when it does not easily digest
The idea that milk must not be
eaten with pickles is not an intelli-
gent one, as milk curdles in the
stomach nearly as soon as it is
swallowed. When milk is consti-
pating, as it IS frequently found to
be by persons who ( nix fr ely of
it in the country in summer time,
little salt sprinkled in each glass
full will prevent the difficulty
When it has an opposite effect, a
few drops of brandy in each goblet
Of milk will obviate it's purgative
effect. AS milk is so essential to
the health of our bodies, it is well
to consider when to take it, and
how. It is mistake to drink milk
, between meals, or with food at the
s table. In the former case it will
destroy the appetite, and in the
latter it is never proper to drink
anything. After finishing each
meal goblet of pure milk should
be drank and if any one wishes
to grow aeshy, pint before re-
firing at night will soon cover the
scrawniest bones. In cases of fever
and summer complaint, milk is now
given with excellent results. The
idea that milk is "feverish" has ex-
ploded, and tits now the physicians S
great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients, or those in too
low state to be nourished by solid
food.
