Ear snarIes OF Bnlter COWS.

John Shattuck, noted butter dairy-man
of Chenango county. n. Y. said at the
late convention of the New York State
Dairymans Association, that he had found
the color on the inside the ear to be an IN
failibIe guide in the selection of good but
ter COW. If the skin on the inside the ear
Is OF q rich yellow color, the COW was sure
to give good quantity OF milk; that is
milk rich in butter. He said in all his ex-
perience he had never known this sign TO
fail. J. W. n North, in the Maine Former,
gives some further information concerning
the subject. He observes that cows pro-
tlucing very high colored butter have a
large amount OF the ear secretion. in many
instances the whole internal SURFACE being
covered with thick orange colored, oily
matter on the other hand, the Iight-coior-
ed butter makers present a scanty. thin and
pale yellow secretion. in some cases found
only mt the bottom of the ear. Ills theory
IS that every animal has the power or So
creting u certain amount of this yellow
pigment. If the quantity be sufficiently
large, secretion will take place freely III
the iliamary glands, the ear and skin.

A POWERFUL MAGNET.-Prof. SmytIle

and in the course of his experiments he
introduced one ofCarringtonss most pow
erftil magnets, with which he attracted a
block of iron from distance of two feet.

The professor challenged the man who

THE aAGER.-

Once upon an evening bleary.
While I sat me dreamy, dreary,
In the sunshine thinking over
Things that passed in days of yore
While / nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came something creeping
Up my back like water leaping-
Leaping upward from the floor;
ts'Iis n cooling breeze, y | muttered,
From the regions meath the floor
Only this and nothing more -
All ! distinctly remember
It was in that wet September,
When the earth and every member
OF creation that it bore
Had for days and weeks been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rains that, without joking.
We had ever seen before
So knew it must be very
Cold and damp beneath the floor
Very cold beneath the floor
So sat me nearly mapping
In the sunshine, stretching. gaping,
SIAbth9 hitCI1 Ot4b LtliNtllcO
With the breeze from meath the floor
Till found me waxing colder,
And the stretching growing bolder,
And myself feeling older
Older than I'll felt before;
Feeling that my joints were SITTER
Than they were in days of yore-
Sitter than they'd been before
All along my back the creeping
Soon gave place to rushing, leaping,
AS if'countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
All the e;,vities-.'t varmints -
'rwixt me and my neither garments,
Up into my hair and downward
Through my boots into the floor;
Then | found myself a-shaking,
Gently first but more and moro
Every moment more and more.
Twas the ':agcr!'' And it shook me
In my very clothes, and took me
Shaken to the kitchen-eyery
Place where there was warmth in store;
Shaking till the dishes clattered,
Shaking LII the tea was spatteref1,
Shaking. and with all my warming
Feeling colder than before
Shaking till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more
Till it could not shake me more
Then it rested till the morrow,
Then resumed, with all the horror
That it had the face TO borrow,
Shaking, shaking as before;
And from that dry in September
Day that l shall long remember
It has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking Oh SO sore,
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Ne to bed, if nothing moro
Fully this and nothing more!
And to-day the swallows fitting
Round my eottage see me sitting
AToodilY within the sunshine
just inside my silent door
Waiting for the lager, seeming
Like man forever dreaming;
And the sunlight on me streaming
Throws nc shadow on the floor
For | am too thin and sallow
TO make shadows on the floor
Nary shadow any more

TIE COLLEGE.

IN company with few others it was our
pleasure to pay VISIT to the College on
last Friday afternoon. The building is n
very commodious one, and nicely located.
Preparations are under way to ornament
the grounds with shade and evergreen
trees, which will greatly add to the beauty
and appearance of the institution.
AS this was the usual time for rhetorical
exercises, we found Prof. Powell, with his
able assistant teachers and students, all as
sembled in the chapel. The exercises con-
sisted of essays, recitations and songs.
Space will hardly admit of speaking of tie
different performers and the merits of
their performance suffice it to say. all ac-
quilted themselves creditably. It might
not be amiss to mention that Miss Maggie
Foster and Anna Clark, with one or two
others, rendered their pieces in n highly
pleasing and satisfactory way. They
seemed perfectly at ease, and entered with
spirit and feeling into their rectations.
Some of the essays showed that much time
and thought had been given in their prepa-
ration. The singing was entered into by
the entire school, and was fully appreciated
by the visitors present.
The school numbers some one hundred
and fifty pupils, and is gradually increas-
ing. Prof. Powell is sparing no effort to
build mp the College and make it prosper
Gus and successful, and worthy the patron
age of the people and those who desire a
moro liberal educafion
At the close OF the exercises Rev. J. F.
De Wore made some very appropriate and
pointed remarks, which were fully appre-
ciated by the students.
The visit was pleasant one, and we
hope often to have the pleasure Of renew
ing the same. A VISITOR.

SMALLroX.-The Eugene Guagd of last
Saturday says: "Out on Spencer creek
there are three or four cases OF smallpox re-
ported with prospect of a good crop, as,
if reports are true, it was pretty literally
distributed at a singing school some days
since. Whether the cases reported as
smallpox are such or not, there is a vast
deal of talk and great demand for vac
cine virus and vacant houses for hospitals
and quarantine uses.

SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION
On Thursday of last week DIR. G.. A. Whit
ney performed an operation for the curya-
ture of the spine, never before performed
on this coast lin fact, the operation is an
entire new thing in surgery. 1t was per-
formed on Marion Walker, the little son
of Isom Walker. Some years ago the lit
tie lad received fall, which resulted in a
CROOKED back, - and to cure this deformi-
ty the operation was undertaken. DIR.
Harris assisted DR.. Whitney. So far the
operation promises to be n perfect success,
and DR.. Whitney has added largely to his
reputation as skillful and well informed
surgeon. The DIR. is now resident OF
Philomath, Benton county.

A HUGE BEET.-Judge D. p. Porter, OF
Shedd, ON Saturday, presented us with a
big red beet, of the trlrnip variety, that
measured two feet and one-half inch in cir
cumference, which we consider rather larg-
er than common, even for beets. If there
is anybody in these parts that has raised a
larger beet, let them send it IN, and we'll
acknowledge it.

Given by the Methodist
Sunday School, at the church, last Monday
night, was grand treat to all In attend
ance. The turn out, owing to the election
excitement, and other causes, was not very
large, but was select and apprecfativ6.
The singing by the school was, In every
instance, first rate, showing an improve
ment over previous meetings. The saiuta-
tory. by Master Fred Miller. was excellent
in matter and delivery, evidencing elocp-
tionary powers OF no mean degree. An
original essay, by Miss Rumbaugh. entitl-
ed: ssOrigin, Progress and Design Of
Sunday Schools, = gave evidence OF q
thorough acquaintance with the subject.
The recitation, by class Of tweDty-four,
was very interesting; the little ones com=
posing the class acquitted themselves well

of Mr.. H., Johnnie Goltra delivered =
Tribute to the Dead''-in memory OF lits
tie May Mollenkapf, member Of the
school. who was buried but q few days be-
fore. 1t was very appropriate and well
delivered. The recitation, by j. Miller's
Bible Glass of young ladies, was new and
very interesting feature of the concert.
The quartet, ''Shepherd of thine Israel,
Messrs. J. Miller and +. B. Royal. was q
grand piece of music grandlY rendered.
The recitation, by Miss Mary Powell, was,
like everything undertaken by this young
lady, perfect. The solo, by Miss Piper,
was the grand feature OF the evening, and
places Miss Piper among the first mpsieal
artists on this coast. With most thorough
musical education and splendid voice, the
future is full of possibilities for Miss Piper.
With singing by the school, the M. e. s.
S. Concert for December closed. In many
respects it was the best concert Of the year,
Notwithstanding the fact that many who
participated in it had but little if any prac-
tice previous to the evening of the enter-
taiument. The Superintendent, officers
and teachers of the school deserve the high
est praise for their efforts to entertain the
friends of the school, and at the same tfp1a
to build up and make it more effective for
