Butter in the United States.

The committee on statistics of the Butter
and Egge Dealers Association of Chicago
reported in reference to the estimated con-
sumption of butter in the United States.
The report stated that it was estimated
that 100000 of the population consumed
one pound of butter each week 10, 100000
half pound each 100000 a quarter
of pound each. This was for table-use
alone, and it was estimated that one-third
more might be added for culinary purposes.
This would give total of about ,3S7,-
100000. The exports from Canada and
the United States are about 15 900, 900,
making total product accredited to the
United States Of 81, ,502, 100000, which at
an average value of thirty cents per pound,
gave the sum S420,000,O00 as the aggre-
gate value of this product. In the manu-
facture of butter the milk is used of over
fifty-four per cent of the mich COWS in
the United States, which are estimated to
number over 100000 With regard to
the quality of butter, there was less uni
formity of grade than of State. But little
butter from Western creamerics sold on a
level with State butter. The amount of
Western butter sent to the New York
market had been so small that it had been
found necessary to quote it separately
western" butter ranged from three to
five cents below creamery butter, and firsts,
which formed large proportion, but not
the bulk, of the Western crop that found
its way here, were still another five or six
cents lower. The average quality of
Western butter had been very much i'm
proved during the past few years, and to
what extent it was possible to further raise
its standard was question for the earnest
and constant consideration of the dairy
men of the great West. The committee
recommended the adoption, so far as posi-
bic, of the Eastern creamery and dairy
system, and suggested that measures should
be taken to secure from the railroad com
panies better facilities for the transporta-
ton of dairy products from the West.

A snow-slide from the roof of church
in Boise City, while the pastor was pray
ing, gave the congregation great fright
The mass of snow which had been accumu-
lating on the building gave way and star
ted down the roof, making noise like the
falls of Niagara, and alighting on the
ground with the effect of an earthquake
Suddenly about one half of the congrega-
ton found themselves standing bolt up
right. One old lady, who would bear
down about two hundred pounds, and
doubtless had just been meditating on past
sins and the probability of a future punish
ment, sprang to her feet with the agility
of lamb seized her nearest companion by
the arm and exclaimed ''My God He
is after us let's run.

Philadelphia grows. The Inquirer says:
The issue of building permits, as reported
for the month of March; shows the num-
Der for dwellings, stores and hotels to be
34G. The factories, stables and other
buildings Of all classes number 166, the list
including one chapel, but no church. This
is a considerable falling off as compared with
the esame period last last year, but at the same
time it is unquestionably better showing
than any other city in the Union can make.
Boston and Chicago, while rebuilding after
their respective fires, exceeded these fig
ures, but to continue the work of putting
up new structures at the rat of $4,000 per
annum, through seasons of depression and
general stagnation is beyond the capacity
of any community expect our own.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many . rest on the road Of life
II We only would stop to take IL;
And many tone from the better land,
II the querulous heart would wake 1t.
To the sunny soul that is full OF hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass Is green and the flowers are bright
Though the wintry storm prevaileth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peer
through
When the ominous clouds are lifted.
There was never night without a day,
Nor an evening without a morning;
And the darkest hour, the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
It may be the love of little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For cup Of water given.
Better to weave in the web Of life
A bright and golden filing,
And to do Gods will with willing heart,
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate threads,
OF our curious lives asunder;
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit to grieve and wonder.

1t is eminently suggestive of our uncer-

changes. Sometimes, in an incredibly
short period, changes Of the most unex>

Thus it was with the family at Saxonbu-

you last saw them; and yet the changes
which that time has wrought seem to have
been sufficient for the marking of half a
century.

The Grange-Objects aud Bene-
fits.

At the recent installation of officers
of the New Hampshire State Grange,
an excellent address was delivered by
Col. d. Wyatt, Aiken. from which we
extract the following paragraphs con-
corning the objects and benefits of the
Grange:
The founders, seeing bow much Co
operation and concentration were doing
for every other association, conceived
the idea that the same cooperative
principle might be employed for the
benefit of the farming class; and the
people for whose benefit it was con-
ceived saw that it was good, and took
hold of it in earnest.
One great object of the Grange is
to elevate farmers. From the nature
of their calling they are much isolated,
and this isolation tends to make them
unsocial and selfish. The farmers
wife never goes anywhere, because her
husband cannot find time or disposition
to go with her, and she becomes I'M
social and selfish also. This is charac =
teristic of the farming community
from Maine to Texas. In the Grange
they are brought together, and their
social natures are developed and eleva-
ted. He had been In many States,
but he had found none where the far
mer and his wife did not find time to
go to the Grange after they had once
entered.
Then the Grange is educating pow
er. He believed it required more
mind, thought, energy, to make sue
cessful farmer, than any other avoca-
ton in life. This is an age of progress,
and the man who stands still and
don't study to improve, will go back
ward. Farming must be studied.
Agriculture is large science, and the
more we study it the larger the fields
spread out before us. To be true
farmer, a man should study to prepare
himself as much as for any of the pro-
fessions. In the Grange the latent in
telligence of the farmer is brought out,
and each can learn of the other some
new idea or method. Two heads are
always better than one. Not only does
the Grange improve him educationally
and social, but morally. The farmer
ought above all others, to be a Chris
tian. His avocation should peculiar
ly lead him to look through nature up
to natures God. The Grange makes
him charitable,
Referring to the secrecy of the Or
der, he said it was that which gave it
cohesion and permanently. In all
trades and professions there is degree
of secrecy, and the most successful man
is he who keeps his plans to himself
In the Grange there is just enough Sc
cret to make it attractive.
The Grange also does what no party
or organization has done, unites the
people of all parts of the country. 1t
says to every man in the Union: Come
in, and I'll give you the hand of friend
ship" 1t knows no north, no
south, no east no west. 1t bridges the
bloody chasm which has divided differ
ent sections.
The constitution ofthe Grange pro-
hibits the discussion of religion or poll
tics, and neither political or religious
tests for memberships are allowed.
Yet this means co exclude only secta-
rianism and partisanship, for religion in
its true sense is always taught here,
anu there is no filter subject than poll,
ties in its real meaninc-the science of
gOvernment-for our consideration,

TO ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND.

Oh friend, on whom lavish many thought,
And many longing waste, by thee unknown,
Sometimes to me, in forebodings brought,
There comes time when each shall stand alone;
When each, apart, pursues the separate ways,
In wide diverging paths, that no more interlean;
And time and absence, through all coming days,
Or changes worse, shall fall our hearts between
If any time should come 90 dark and sad
That bitter thoughts 'twixt thee and me should
rise,
II tender looks shall no more make me glad,
Nor any comfort come from loving eyes,
