The Manufacture of Doctors.

DR.. J. G. Holland: In Scribncr.
1t is becoming notorious that Har.
ward diploma in Medicine is the most
valuable diploma procurable in this
country. The consequence is that the
better class of students will seek it,
until the other schools adopt the same
plan, and do away forever with the
present cheap and inefficient one. A
Harvard Medical Diploma means some
thing; the ordinary diploma means
very little, even to those who get it..
A Harvard diploma means work,
achievement, scholarship, honor, sue.
cess; and the best material in prepar-
alton for the profession will try for it
at any sacrifice. The medical schools
of New York and Philadelphia must
wheel into line with Boston, or be left
behind, where they ought to be left.
Nothing will be gained to the profess
sion or the world by any other course,
or, in the long run, to the schools
themselves.
These matters OF health and sick.
ness, life and death, are very serious
ones, and there are few things more
sad-mOre horrible, midlothian to see
4 sick or an injured man i'll hands Ut
terly incompetent to treat him. The
truth is that a physician should be al
ways first class man-iirst class in his
moralities, his character, his acquire
ments, his skill. No course of educa.
ton can be too thorough for him, no
preparation for the stupendous work
of his life too exacting. Medical stu
dents are not apt to think of this. By
becoming familiar with disease and
death, they are far too apt to grow
thoughtless, and to forget the precious
ness of that possession which they are
to be called upon to protect. They
certainly will not think of it if their
instructors make it easy for them to
acquire their profession. The COM
mission of a single unworthy man to
practice the profession of medicine is
direct means of decentralization. of
which no faculty can afford to be
guilty. Let us manufacture no more
doctors; let us educate them.

How to Cook Spring Chickens.

1t is generally conceded that chick
ems merely cut open and broiled. arc
dry and unsavory eating. I, therefore,
give to the housekeepers of the West
my recipe, which has been pronounced
good by many. Clean the chickens
nicely; cut them down the back; break
the breast bone; wash and wipe them
dry season them both in and outside
with pepper and salt; place them in a
dripping-pan with a little water; put
it in quick oven until they are a del.
icate brown on both sides; haste them
frequently with butter; renew the wa
ter as it evaporates. When the chick
ems are done, remove to hot dish;
add little more water and Il teaspoon
full of flour to form the gravy. Serve
the gravy in a soucetureen, or in the
dish with the chickens.

ford was then Lieutenant Governor,
and had an elegant suite of rooms
there, and, as he was absent with his
family, he kindly gave permission to
place his rooms at the disposal of the
great novelist. Dickens accepted the
courtesy as a mere matter of course,
and had not the grace to express any
thanks. He lectured, pocketed the
money, and went away, like any other
Snowman. A few months afterwards,
he returned to lecture again, and was
shown to other apartments, with
WHICH he was not pleased. lie sent
for the landlord and demanded his for
mer rooms. Mr.. Blake said that they
belonged to- the Lieutenant. Governor
of the State. |. That did not matter,
said Dickens, go and ask him if he will
give up his room to me. Blake de-
INJURED to this, but Dickens insisted.
With very long face, at last, Blake
went to Gen. .Woodford's room and
put the question. Woodford looked
quietly for moment at Blake, and
then said: 1.-TWO months ago, in my
absence,1 gave up my rooms to Mr..
Dickens as personal accommodation to
yourself and him. Mr.. Dickens had
not the grace to express any thanks.
Perhaps these are English manners.
They are not good manners, anyhow.

Tho Milking Barn i'm Hot Weather


4 large number of dairymen need to
make improvements in their milking
barns. The milking barns which are
thought to be the most convenient by
dairymen of long experience are az
ranged with doors opening at the end
of the stable, the cows taking their
place on either side their heads turned
outward, and with a wide open space
between the rows of animals. The
herd enters the stable ut the wide
doors in the centre of either part of
the building and the animals take po-
sitions on either side, and thus one
man is enabled to make secure in the
stanchlons large herd in a very short
space of time. If wide doors are az
ranged on both ends of building. and
if it stand so as to get the sweep Of
prevailing winds through the center
of the stable, the animals and mixers
may have tolerably cool place i'll hot
weather during the time Of milking.
But in many cases the barn is so loca-
ted and the ventilation SO imperfect
that the heat and animal odors are al.
most intolerable through the hot
months. Such state of things causes
great discomfort to both mixers and
animals, besides doing a great injury
to the milk.
We have referred heretofore in these
columns to the bad character of milk
from overheated cows. Fast driving
from pasture to hot sitting stable
there to sweater and breathe over and
over the air Initiated by the odors and
emanations of Il large herds not
likely to be a favorable condition for
nice, healthy. sweet milk. Now, in
order to remedy the bad construction
of such stables, long, horizontal open
ings are made in the sides of the build
ing directly in front of the cows
heads. These are hung with doors
which are raised in hot weather thus
giving ample ventilation directly in
front of the cows. We have seen
milking barns 50 arranged that almost
the entire side of the stable could be
thrown open or closed at pleasure, and
such stables are great relief during
hot weather, affording comfort to man
and beast and amply paying the cost
of the improvement by the better quail
ity and quantity of the milk yielded
A cool, clean, well-ventilated milking
barn is one of the luxuries connected
with dairy farming dnring our intense:
ly hot summers, and the progressive
farmer cannot we'll afford to be with
out one.
