Home Study.

There is a society for the Encourage
ment of Study at Home, which has its
headquarters in Boston, and which is
doing much good, we are told, to elevate
the taste and cultivate the minds of
women prevented by home duties, timid-
ity, or lack of means, from seeking in
tellectual training at schools and colleges.
Here is one incident of it: The lady
who ranked highest in the last annual ex-
animation of students was the wife of a
Vermont farmer, who has six children
and does all her own work. Bravo for
the Vermont farmers wife. She de-
serves to rank with the ancient of days
when mothers brought up families of
children numbering from light to fifteen,
did their work, and spun and wove yards
upon yards Of cloth daily. The Yer
mont lady must have healthy children,
and be physically sound herself. In
England there are similar societies de-
signed for the aid of both sexes. Of all
the feminine societies that we know of,
if rightly managed, few can be better
than those for encouraging study at home.

A PerniciOuS Traffic.

"The Hermit" writes to the Troy
Times that the number Of dealers in OBJ
scene books throughout the Union is not
less than 5000. In New York city the
arrests have reached 200. The number
Of pictures and photographs destroyed
was 2lO,60O, and the extent of art en-
ployed in this traffic may be judged from
the additional fact that the wood cuts
and engraved copper plates ready for
printers use which have been seized
number nearly 900. To these are to be
added l, 400 negative photographs of a
similar character. These are a few fig
ures out of vast detail from which one
would naturally turn with disgust, were
it not necessary to meet the case in all
its truth. They show how great is the
work, and how much greater the neces-
sity for many Anthony Comstocks. 1t
is for the interest of every parent to en-
courage the efforts of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice to put down this cry
ing evil by liberal contributions to its
support.

Summer Vprmin on Fouls

Fowls are subject to the attacks of two
kinds of yermin, which in summer are
worse than at any other season. The
more common is a louise; the other is a
mite, which has the appearance of a
minute spider. The louise lives on the
bodies and feathers of fowls, while the
mite conceals inself in the crevices of
the hen-house, coming out at night and
preying upon the fowls, and returning
to its hiding-place The louise must be
got rid OF generally by providing the
fowls with dry ashes, sand and dust, in
which they can battle themselves, It is
good plan to sift ashes and dust for
this purpose, adding to them some -four
or sulphur. Place the mixture where it
can be easily used, and the fowls will
soon free themselves from vermin. The
mite is usually destroyed by applying a
good coat Of whitewash to the poultry
house, but the surest way is to fumigate
the house thoroughly. It is necessary
to stop all the openings of the house as
tight as possible. Take an old pan or
iron pot and place some live Goals in it;
then take tobacco (cigar refuse will
answer and lay on the Goals as top
layer, after which put on d sufficient
quantity of rolled birthstone Have
everything in readiness before you begin
Shut the door up tight before you flmi-
gate, and the sulphur fumes will do the
work effectually

DairyinS' a Science.

Breeding and care of dairy cattle and
the manufacture of butter and cheese
are sciences which no jack at all trades
can follow IN q minute, and which no
stupid, unintelligent person can ever be
proficient in. We never knew a
thorough, good dairyman or woman who
was not a smart, capable person, and in
their business at least, we'll educated,
and still ready to learn. It is the null
duplication OF this class-and it seems to
multiply slowly-which will raise our
average butter and cheese product per
COW" to a more respectable figure than
it now presents. Until we have many
more such upon our dairy farms the
physiological question how far the milk
secreting function of the COW can be
safely increased, will not become one of
Immediate practical moment. We have
no doubt there is limit, but so long as
we see so many individual COWS that
can make their pound a day, we need
not fear injury from "too much push
ing" while the average remains at 125
pounds year per COW. And we may
note, in conclusion, as an encouraging
fact, that in each dairy, as the yield per
cow goes up, so also goes up the price per
pound. He who can make his COWS
yield much milk, out to, and usually
can, make it into good butter.-Dr Hos
kins.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Feeding Cows.

Cows soon learn what to expect, and,
if, by any maneuvering on their part
they can change the regular programme
to their advantage they are not slow to
do so.
Says the New England Farmer: owe
have COWS in our stable which, if fed an
inferior quality of fodder at an unusual
hour, will either poke it through the
front of their Manager or the barn floor,
or paw it out under their feet with all
the deliberation with which a spoilt
child clears its plate of plain food to
make room for the choicer sweets which
are held in reserve by the over-indulgent
parent; but if this same fodder is given
at the last foddering at night, when the
COW knows, as they always do, that it is
the last foddering, they will take hold of
it if at all hungry, as matter of bus
mess, and will clean it up as though it
were as good as the BEST
