sadly to their winter quarters.

Clover fields and other grass lands where
plaster proves beneficial to crops, should
have light dressing, just before rain.
The late Judge Colbum, one Of the most
successful men in the state in the cultivation
Of the soil, was in the habit Of sowing peck
Of plaster to an acre on all his moving fields
every year. We have changed light crop
of white top to heavy crop Of red clover
by half bushel of plaster to an acre, Some
seasons there is no perceptible effect; others
the result Is very gratifying.

A farmer having written a long article,
published in an agricultural exchange advo-
eating the use Of green wood, " housewife"
responds that il moisture makes the wood
better, she still prefers to have it dry to be-
gin with, aud will add the water to suit
herself" She concludes that if the farmers
wife has to burn green wood, the house
sometimes gets too hot for him, and that is
the reason why he thinks green wood makes
such bot fire.

The Springfield Republican, reads plain
and forcible lecture to parents on the subject
of teaching daughters housekeeping. Our
cotemporary says: " How dare we call that
education, which units one for real service,
and tends chiefly to i'll health and useless.
ness? What are parents thinking Of, who
take no pains to instruct their daughters in
the rudiments and higher branches of house,
keeping, but allow them to drift toward the
sea Of housewiiery, on the strong tide of pop
ular amusements? What do educators mean
who gil up their curriculum Of study with
various Aashy accomplishments, aOd give
little or no thought to that which is more
necessary aud substantially We submit
that there is at least room here for philan-
thrOpic suggestion, on subject affecting the
welfare of posterity." Now, while admitting
the necessity for alarm on this important
subject, we respectfully submit that anxiety
on the subject of the housekeeping education
of farmers daughters, at least in Vermont,
is unealled for. We can testify to their
skill in the domestic arts as well as TO their
accomplishments. If any of the young gen.
tlemen friends of the Republican are play
ing "Celebs in search of wife," we ad.
wise them to visit some of the farm houses OF
Vermont.

Section II of the act of the legislature for
regulating the capture Of fish and game pro-
vides that any person or corporation who
"engage in the culture of fish in private en-
closures" etc, shall put up notices at con-

that no fishing is permitted. And any per-
son who shall catch any fish, or foul the wa

other damage, shall be liable to 6ne Of

Streams or ponds stocked with fish in good
faith, either by breeding or otherwise, are
protected by this act. Putting a dozen
trout into brook for the purpose of sub
jecting trespassers to the above penalty
would not be compliance with the act.

A lesson from the Mother oOuntrH.

Recent events in England are signifi-
cant in proving that though that nation
is ruled by a woman, she has will of
her own, and dares to do right, In spite
of influence and opposition from high
quarters, even including that of the
heir-apparent to the crown. Colonel
Baker, an officer who has been covered
with glory on many CORY field, whose
breast was covered with as many
medals as his body had wounds, so for
got himself as to insult lady in rail-
road carriage. For this offense he was
condemned to imprisonment for one
year without hard labor and fined $500.
Then the question arose whether this
officer, who had served over a quarter of
a century in the army, had been pro-
guished himself for his valor, should be
permitted to retain his place. A gi-
gantic influence was brought to bear to
make this possible. The Duke of Cam
bridge, ommander-in-chief, opposed
his removal. The Prince Of Wales, one
of the four field marshals of the army,
we believe, added the influence of his
high military rank to that of the sue
cessor to the crown, and perchance the
influence of q son over his mother, to
the same end. Generals hoary with
honorable service, who could scarcely
have asked any other boon from their
sovereign and been denied, petitioned;
but the Queen was firm. No man who
was not gentleman could hold COM
mission in her service. In her opinion,
no man who would insult defenseless
woman, no matter what his rank or
station, was entitled to be considered
gentleman; hence his services were dis
pensed with. Her Majesty had no fur
ther use for them. Petitions and plead
ings, the influence of her son and her
cousin, her generals and her attendants,
all were in vain, and womanhood
throughout the world must rejoice that
woman rose superior TO all, in defense
of the honor of one of her own sex. No
doubt, as she thought of the blood he
had shed for her country, she mOurned,
and thought with Othello, 'I love thee,
Cassie, but thou canst never more be of
ficer of mine." Too pure to be served
by libertine, however brave or brill
liant, she dismissed him in Disgrace

CURIOUS THREADS. The smallest
ized sewing silk manufactured meas
ured about 2, 200 yards, or over one and
one-fourth miles to the ounce. Even in
the construction of this variety, some
times from 200 to 400 fibers of the mate
rial, as originally spun by the silk
worm, are required. The little vermi-
form artists which produce this beauti-
form size. The smallest fiber Of silk, as
wrought by the worm into exquisite
structure of it's cocoon, is so infinitely
minute that every ounce of the manu-
factured thread is supposed to contain
nearly 1900 miles of this floss-like
strand, and the puny animal sometimes
elaborates a fiber of such marvellous
tenuity that less than four pounds of
the thread, avoirdupois, would reach
round the world.
