There is no other way-no schools nor

make farmer of a young man; but
he should not neglect to study. Every
agency that hecan employ to give him a

and study to become a wise farmer, he

COK.MILKERS.

Persons raised on large dairy farms
know the unpleasant labor Of milking
many cows, and that any continuance
to draw the tactical fluid from the I'D
der with no pain nor strain to human
muscles, would be a public blessing,
and tend to lessen the cost of all dairy
products to consumers. Mr.. J. John
son, Hartland, Wis, has invented a
cow-milker which has been tested by
one Of the editors of the Country Gen.
tlemaR, and is thus commended In that
journal:
The set sent as was tested on cow
that had always been a difficult mixer,
and was found to be easily attached to
the udder; and the milk was all drawn.
and In about half the time that it would
have taken an ordinary person 10 milk
the COW. l. did not appear TO hurt the
COW at all, as she stood perfectly quiet
while the operation was going on. She
was MIXED cleaner than the average
man or woman would do l.. The only
objection seems to be, that it may pos
sibly cause an easy mixer" to lose
her milk. as the insertion of the silver
tubes may possibly enlarge perma-
nently the orifces in the teats. For
"hard" mixers, or COWS that have sore
teats, it would seem to be especially
adapted.

How Nilsson Went for the Pockets OF
sOuf Best Society,"
Spirit OF the Times
We have always asserted that she
was far better actress off the stage
than on it, and that assertion has been
fully verified. We all well know, after
the attractions Of concerts waned, how
cleverly the transfer to the lyric stage
was effected, and how our best society
went into ecstacies over 1t, and how it
raourned its loss on her departure at
the end of the season, and how delight.
ed it was at her return last fall; but
she was not the original Nilsson any
more. She had grown imperative, and
more and more exigeant in her demands.
Her financial appetite grew on what it
fed" Money! give me money! was her
cry, and its obtainment was her sole
aim, end, and object. She did her
little charming acting in private, as
before, because the more pop
ular she made herself in the
homes of the wealthy, the larger were
her profits; for in addition to receiving
$3.50 per night every time she sung, as
a certainty, she took half the gross re-
ceipts of the house In addition, when
ever they exceeded $3,000--and at the
present high prices of opera, it was
rarely that the receipts did not far ex-
coed that sum. Again, In addition; all
her hotel bills, travelling expenses, car
riages, ETC., were paid, and her CO.'S
tunes found her-no small items In the
expenses of a manager-and the Jesuit
has been that abe has Melted, during
the brief period she has been here, over
$4,000 land close on $50, 600, and car
ried it off with her without saying
good-by or thank you, quietly laughing
at her dupes In our best soci-
ETY., who have petted and spoiled
her. Their feelings can be bet
ter imagined than described. We
pass over the parting insult
she offered her manager and the
public. We have treated of that be-
fore, but the climax of her cormorant
demands was reached when Mr.. Stra-
kosch, with an unwise overstretch of
liberality, wishing to engage her In ad-
dition to other leading prima donnas
for next season, offered her 100000
for one hundred performances, but de-
cined any sharing business, or the pay
ment of hotel bills, ETC., which this
operate cormorant Indignantly refused.
We hope and trust she will continue to
do so, and that she will be replaced by
some worthier, and, at any rate, more
grateful artist. We are strangely mis-
taken if Madame Nilsson does not dis
cover the fatal error she has commit
ted, in her excessive greed of gain, ere
long. She will not earn the same
amount of money in the same time in
Europe. She win find other great
prima donnas there to contend with,
and everything not of exactly the same
roseate hue as here, and public far
more exacting than In our faulty We
have been.
