derful. To show the enormous task the
boy has been performing at the University
il may be interesting to state that, as long a.
there was grading offered the boys to dc
around the grounds. Glennon at the first
hours in the morning was over from Almeda
about seven miles distant, with his sleeves
rolled up, and with pick or shovel in hand
trying to earn his twenty cents an hour
alongside of the brawny laborers. But the
most remarkable part was that when the
bell tapped for recitation in mathematics he
was promptly in his place with perfect re-
citation. 1t is considered remarkable if a
student can get through term perfect in
either recitation or examination, and but
one or two in a class of sixty or seventy ever
do this; but Glennon generally came of
perfect in both and often, when the whole
section failed ON difficult problem, our hero
would walk TO the board and solve it in a
twinkling Again, after Rotations, James
would be found, with cheerful face and
ready jokes AT command, trundling liswhecl
barrow or wheeling his homely implements
among the grading hands, whom he always
kept in jolly humor by his ready wit, A
boy capable of doing all this is bound 10 sue
coed in life.

Many of our best cows dislike to he millled,
and are fussy and uneasy when YOU set
pail under them. This is particularly the
case with the Jersey grades Instances Of
this kind seem to be more numerous than for
merly, and are most numerous in diaries kept
under the forcing system adopted by those
who supply milk for the market or cheese
factory. In many or perhaps most cases.
COWS become addicted to it after having been
MIXED for few years, though quiet and
gentle the first year of their milking. There
is no doubt that the production of a large
quantity of milk is often attended with a
sensation OF soreness and exhaustion in the
tactical parts, which induce sensation of
dread and dislike to be MIXED by the ami
nal. In case like this--and | think they
comprise fully nine-tenths of the trouble
some millers-it is the worst kind Of folly
to abuse COW for kicking. When a cow
becomes troublesome about milking, the best
thing that can be done is 10 fasten a foot
with a rope. Make the end of the rope fast
behind her take a wind and draw the foot
a little back, and tie with half hitch. Put
measure of shorts, or some other provender
before her, and then proceed carefully to milk,
favoring her as she shows Bringing and I'M
easiness. The extraction of a large pailfu,
twice a day, of a rich, highly vitaliZed fluid
like milk, can exert no other than an ex-
hausting and facilitating influence on the ami
NAL. This, on nervous animal, soon in
duces irritabilty and what we call vicious
conduct No animal needs kind and careful
treatment more than cows giving large
quantity of milky h. Farmer.

Training Cows.

No COW can be considered trained for !
in the family, unless she be thoroughly haiti
broken, so as 10 lead more kindly than md
horses. And the trainingof cows for famit
use is an art that presses upon the farmer
attention, for more and more the publ Is
becoming determined to keep cows for ia s
In order that the dairy products in 4 y, 4
may be improved, it is FIRST necess lat
there should be great increase Of PRACTICAL
and experienced dairymen, and especially
dairywomen, That which wo'hen cease to
concern themselves about ouly thrives for a
generation. The second generation is ignor-
ant as well as careless. And the factory
system Of dairying will not cheaper produc-
ton after practical knowledge Of the hnsi-
ness has passed from the many into the hands
Of the few II should appear from columns
of the papers, as Il general state Of en-
lightenmentasr regards cow-keeping prevailed
in the country. The many excellent printed
essays are merely evidence of what people
ought 10 know, while practice in these mat
ters drags, as usual, far behind thought. II
Is the touch aud smell of butter Of their own
churning that people require, now, to put
their reading TO any service. Hence the
need of cows thoroughly trained for the fam
lily. | need barely hint at the sorrows and
trihulations of those people who have bought
perverse, unbroken buites, under the name of
family cows. II is a sore subject with many.
And the lack Of kindly cows, to begin with,
prevents many nice households from pos
sessing that object Of their desires sup
ply Of rich, pure homemade milk, night and
morning. II may he remarked by the way,
that the extra "scicntiic" substance pro
duced now from talow in large quantities,
known by the euphonious name of "oleo-
margarine, or loosely known as "ox-but-
ter has considerably intensified the dis
taste of the butter that comes in tubs, and
set great many families to thinking that
they might as well keep cows for themselves,
and this demand for cows requires to be
filed in shape that will please the women
and children. We want pets for the door-yard,
cows that can be tethered upon the sward Of
the lawn Economical village and suburban
people are asking themselves why they should
NOV their lawns, give the grass to a neigh
Dor, and then pay him for questionable milk
So, am free 20 maintain that a COW that is
not so trained as TO be pegged out In the
grass of the door-yard without getting tam
| gled and hurting herself in the ropes-is not
a COW for these days.

There is no reason why the farmer should
not get nearer the price paid by the CON
sumner than he has been getting there is no
reason why he should allow all the profits Of
his business TO GO TO agents. and he get
really less than his crops cost. Who wonders
that farmers are poor, that their stock is in
different their houses weather-won, their
fields impoverished-wh they are continu-
ally selling their products at a price actually
below the cost of production Why should
not the farmer get an actual profit of fifty
cents a bushel on his beans, ten cents q
pound ON his poultry, five cents dozen on
his eggs, instead of selling them below cost?
If farmers sell potatoes for forty cents a
bushel, which it cost fifty cents to raise, aud
for which they should get sixty--who Won
ders that they complain Of hard times Now
is not a reform in this matter possible and
practicable Why may not the farmers Of
neighborhood reckon up what amount of
what kinds of products they will have for
sale this fall, ascertain its price in the lead
| ing markets. and send this direct to market
through a trusty agent of their own selec-
! ton ? Is anything to hinder We know
of large and independent farmers who, so far
as they and their products are concerned
regulate the prices themselves. They have
large crop of apples or good clip of wool Ia
dispose of, and sell directly to consumers OF
manufacturers, getting, always, the top price
Buyers know this, and keep away from such
men--but they have become independent by
I just such course as this, and, having be.
come so, are able to keep so. They dictate
terms; they say what they will take; they
never ask "What will you give y Now
what one man can do who has large sur.
plus Of one product to dispose of, dozen
farmers acting through one of their number
may do in the selling of their crops. And
We believe it is possible for some plan to be
! put into execution this fall that shall inaug
urate new and better method of marketing
the products of the farm Maine Farmer.

A Battle with Whales.


AS soon as all had taken their seats, we
rowed off silently with double banked oars.
Five large boats were all we could man, as
many Of the fishermen had gone to the banks
in the morning. Though their brown sails
were in sight, time did not allow Of their re-
call. Our armament was almost ludicrous !;
besides guns we carried axes, lances, old
swords, and several kettles for making a
noise with. Several were busy improving a
formidable weapon by fastening scythe
blades TO short poles; one man called, while
moving, sat in the bow, holding his scythe,
As we left the cove the women kept calling
after MS and wishing MS good luck, and then
hurried to the cliff, where they watched the
progress of the chase. Making long de
tour, the boats were quietly formed in a
semi-circle to seward of the dark group,
which appeared Unconscious OF our APP
proach as soon as all were placed the leader
fired a gun, and We bore down upon the
whales with all speed, shouting and splash
ing the wrter movement Is seen among
the whales, dark forms disappear and pres
