At the dairymens association, Mr. j. T
Ellsworth, Of Massachusetts, being called
upon, gave a condensed statement of his
methods of making butter aud cheese from
the same milk, and selling his cheese at
from ten to twelve and one.halt cents per
pound, according to the season of the year.
From his note book he found that, at o
trial made on the fifteenth of October, TWEEN
ty.soven pounds Of milk skinned at twelve,
twenty-iour, and thrty-six, and forty-eight
hours old, made one pound Of butter and
nine aud one-quarter pounds of the milk re.
naming made pound of cheese. The feed
at the time, was short after-feed in the now
ing fields, green corn fodder, and eight quarts
bran-the latter being tho best part OF the
feed as the draught was very severe. His
herd returned him, in 1875, niuety.seven
dollars per COW beside the calf, or one-third
more than by any method of handling the
milk previously tried. BY his method of
heating and cooling his milk, he is enabled
to make just as good butter and cheese in
July and August as June or September
Southwest winds aud damp weather decrease
the quantity Of butter as the cream does not
rise so well as in clear, cool, aud dry weather.
His butter, though usually sold from week
to week, has kept well year, and ons sam
ple put down in a common tin pail, was
awarded q medal at the Centennial Exhibi-
ton.

We have long been satisfied that one Of
fective reason for better cooking in the old
countries, (if it is fact that they do cook
better there), is, that they understand rea
economy better than we do they are more
careful about what they put with their dishes
and less apt to burn and neglect them after
they are prepared, because they appreciate
more than we, the worth of little things.

First, of insects in general They are
most destructive in the larva state. They
grow rapidly and eat enormously they will
multiply in weight 200. fold in one day.
They multiply fearfully in numbers also
one female will lay eggs by the hundred.
And yet we may successfully cope with
these insects, if the state would have good
entomologist whose time was wholly given
TO this matter in its practical bearing.
From 300 to 500 millions yearly lost by in.
sects, great majority of which might be
saved by scientific care. We must call in
our aids as provided by nature. The robin
by rising early eats the cut worms and so
we should preserve them, and as they eat
and digest so rapidly, they will consume
worms and insects in immense quantities
Some insects live on other insects He urges
hand picking, even for potato bugs on large
fields. We should kill insects by scading or
burning, as If we smash them, the eggs may
hatch. Many insects iufest weeds, especial
ly the golden rod, which teens with them,
and as soon as the cultivated plants get we'll
growing the insects leave the weeds for the
plants. Old piles Of rotting wood or logs
aud stumps breed and house insects. The
potato bug is an injurious insect, and is and
has been in Vermont though Burlington
papers reported me as saying there were
none in the state. The next morning found
them in my garden. We can prevent its
ravages by picking the very FIRST we fnd,
and keeping at it with care and perssteucy.
Next use Paris green wet, a tablespoonful
into pail of water or sprinkle it on the
leaves Keep it well stirred, but use 1t not
about apple trees, as the falling apples may
get poisoned, as such cases have occurred.
But after all, hand picking is the best thing,
as for all insects. They attack the Jersey
Peachblow last. The cabbage worm may
be kept down by picking off. go over
mine every morning, catch the flies aud then
destroy every worm. Currant worms are
prevalent. commend hand picking, but
hellebore mixed with water kills,-dry hel.
lebore will motor go out in early morning
and shake them off and gather them up for
destruction. Currant borers must be des-
troyed by cutting off the stock or cane and
burning it. There are some fifteen kinds of
insects which infest currants. The May
bug is injurious, especially by eating the
roots in the larva state, the white grub in
the soil. The bugs eat the leaves Of trees
of most kinds. There is no excuse for the
existence Of the fall web worm; the web
should be cut off and burned. He also
spoke Of the borers in raspberries with great
destructive powers. Also he described in
brief appletree borers, description of which
is in the last report of the board of agricul-
ture. The wood-pecker is very destructive
to these borers, aud these birds are valuable
to the farmers In reply to a question as
to the value Of crows he said 81 don't be.

birds nests of eggs or young; he had known
a pair to eat the young of four robins nests
in one forenoon.

oOIORBp WOMEN,s ADDRESS,

We regret to have seen the organs of
the Democratic party treat the published
address Of the colored women with ridi-
cule, and even with an innuendo of insult.
It should not be forgotten that Governor
Nichols has pledged himself to the pro-
lection of these people, nor that they are
under peculiar apprehensions that he may
not be able to perform his promise. Those
who occupy the position Of ourselves and
other white Republicans have no fear of
personal violence, or of being returned
into bondage, but it must not be forgot
ten that the colored Republicans consider
themselves by no means beyond the pos
sibilities Of either or both these evils.
We have no doubt that Governor Nichols
will conscientiously keep his promise, as
far as may depend upon himself, but it
will require the kindly and cordial CO.
operation of the press and of the Demo-
cratic people to allay the fears of those
who have now no other resource upon
which to rely than the faith and clemency
of the conqueror. Indeed, it would seem
that when the colored element has been
bulldozed into political dispersion, while
there can be no further alarm felt about
their political domination, the Demoe-
racy could well and wisely alIay these
fears, and give guarantees that would
appease terror almost amounting to
despair.
II is not probable the Democratic press
which laughs at the expressions Of these
poor women realize the extent of their
alarm. Before the election this feeling
took the form of prayer for success and
tears for the failure Of the Republican
cause. These women did not hope Office
for their husbands or sons. They aspired
to respect, compensation for labor, and
The continuance Of freedom. II is very
wen known that they were told to regard
Democratic ascendency as q danger to be,
II possible, avoided. The colOred speak.
ers throughout Louisiana predicted the
dangers Of subjugation, Of uncompen-
sated labor, and irresponsible violence.
II may be these pictures, drawn from the
example Of Georgia and Texas, have af-
feeted people, who had so much at stake,
with panic. Whether these predictions
are to be realized remains 70 be seen.
Theresult must depend on the execution
Of Democratic pledges. We submit that
ihe tone in which sha fears Of these psO-
pie Is treated BY the Democratic press IS
By no means calculated to aIlay thess
ieam nor strengthen the paeiacaaon policy
Of Governor Nichols.

1t is not carpet-baggers who are now
dispensing justice in Mississippi. There
is undiluted home rule in De Kalb, and
Just what sort Of rule this may be the

it sees what the native authorities purpose
to do about the recent popular pastlmes
in that village. -SetO York. Tribune.
The Mississippi authorities will do
just as, much to apprehend the Kem-
per county murderers as Governor
Nichols did to bring to justice
the assassins of Weber, the leading
white Republican of West Feliciana, who
was murdered sixty days ago under cir
cumstances which left no doubt as to the
identity of the assassins. The punish
ment of Southern Democrat for killing
Republican is thing unheard OF, and
only such soft greenhorns as conduct the
Tribune fancy such thing will ever be
done by the men who hold the Offices in
the South to-day by the triumph of the
bullet over the ballot.

Sanitary.

Since the Sanitary Excavating Com
pany has been in undisputed possession
of the field of labor, the people and the
Board of Health have not been troubled
by the working oFthe vidanguers. Itwas
rather hard on this necessary body of men
to have their means of livelihood entirely
taken away, but they themselves are to
blame for the entire lack of sympathy
manifested on the part of the public.
While they had no opposition, except the
scrimmages among themselves, which
made their presence the more loathsome,
they we're utterly regardless of deeency,
comfort and peace Of citizens, and espe-
cially of the ordinances of the Board of
Health. Their very occupation seemed
protection. The City Council was deaf to
all complaint, and it was not until the
prosecutions of the sanitary monopoly
had been many times sustained by the
courts that the evil was abated.
Now that the company is under cloud
and powerless to enforce the provisions
of its charter, the vidanguers have come.
forward and propose to carry on their old,
business in the same OLD style. This Ad-
ministrator McCafFrey refused to per-
init, but he did grant them some indnl-
genCe which they incontinently abused.
Now they hold meetings to devise means
to make the City Council come to their
terms.
In making any concession to this body
of men Administrator McCaffrey commits
q wrong on the general public. OF course
they have, in common with all denizens
of New Orleans or any other place, the
right to pursue any avocation they may
be attracted to by profit or taste. But
this occupation of theirs, while absolute
ly necessary to the health of all, is one
that of itself requires control and sub
lection to the rights of others, In the
absence of legislation to the contrary the
Administrator has absolute control. He
and all the City Council must protect the
people against the repetition of the lntol-
erable nuisance that nightly offended in
every part of the city three years ago.
The work must be done, but it also must
be done unseen and unsmelled. The
Sanitary Company's machines accom-
plished this, and the city government has
the power to force all engaged in it to do
the same.
