At the recent meeting of the st. Law
renee dairymen. Prof. L. B. Arnold de-
hvered an address on cheese maxine. in
the course of which he remarked that one
of the most important errors is that the
dairymen keeps two COWS to furnish the
milk enc might be made to produce
Ehe rule to adopt rs to produce the larg-
est amount of milk from the least amount
OF carcass He would impress the dairy
men with the Importance of keeping a
full supply of food before the cow for
time after coming to new milk. Ifvou
pinch her then she can not be BROUGHT
back to what she gave at first. Feed
that kind of food that is best ADAPTED to
making flesh. Alter the rush Of grass
other food should be provided to make
up the deficiency. If this is not done, no
amount of food later in the seasoE will
make up the loss.
The supplyof the water and the comfort
OF the COW during the warm weather do
not receive sufficient attention. A large
share OF the cheese manufactured dur
ing>she hot weather last summer was out
OF flavor. Cattle do not have suff1t
clent protection from the hot rays of
the sun. The heat makes them thirsty
but if the water is not convenient thew
suffer and the milk suffers. The milk
makes bad quality of cheese, and il
is not the fault of the manufacturer.
If the water is bad the effect upon the
milk IS great. ! have been able to tell
from the cheese whether the COW has had
plenty or good quality of water. These
circumstances which injure the quality
of the milk also injure the quantity. A
serious loss occurs from the method OF
carrying the milk TO the factory. The
practice of carrying tire milk in a tight
can confines the animal flavor to the
milk. Milk carried to the factory with
the cover open is bettered by the trans.
portation. 1t requires less rennet to
chaduiate milk which has been trans.
ported TO the factory. Slightly churn.
ing skin-milk win make it produce a
better quality Of cheese. Cheese made
from milk which is of flavor will moi
stand the hot weather as well as cheese
made from pure milk. Cheese should
have temperature of seventy degrees fo1
curing, and this should rot be varied.

cover OF the can is not suffcient 10 secure

The gold used by jewelers. is always al
Logged with certain proportions Of pure
silver and the finest copper, according to
the quality desired. The jeweler melts
his metals in a crucible and casts them
into ingots about two inches broad, three
inches long and about one-eight of an
inch thick. he ingots are reduced to
any degree of thinness by being passed
between steel rollers. The sheets or
plates of metal thus produced are en-
trusted to a workman, who, guided by
drawings or models, clips out the pieces
required for the various articles to be
made. The pieces are given, along with
the designs, to other workmen, who put
them together. These men are seated at
large tables around the sides of which are
a series of semicircular recesses, each re-
cess being occupied by workman. Aft
e, the pieces are brought to the exact
size required, they are soldered together
by means of a blOwpipe. Articles of an
ornate character, such as brooches and
bracelets covered with designs in filligree
work or inlaid with pebbles, require
great nicely of manipulation, and the
number of parts which go to compose
some of them is immense. Pebble brace
let's of a finely worked geometrical pat
/ tern are made in which there are no fewer
than one huedred and sixty pieces q

FORCING Eerfu lfat.ritu

A correspondent Of the Country Gen
tleman closes a sensible article under the
above heading in these words:
Our domestic animals are much more
liable % disease than formerly, and it is
reasonably certain that high living is
the cause. a fast lie produces the
same effect on the domestic animal in the
barnyard rs on men and women. Warm,
stimulating food forces an early maturi-
ty which is not compatible with prolifi-
cacy and longevity. Il it not possible
that the unusual mortality among hogs
during the past few years is owing to the
habits induced by high feeding for a
number of generations before The
breeders of almost every kind of improved
stock suffer the heaviest losses from dis
ease and from the barrenness of many of
their othelw choicest specimens 1t is
no denial Of the numerous advantages of
thoroughbred animals to state these facts,
which enthusiastic amateurs are most
apt to overlook.
Not many weeks since we called pub
lie attention to the losses resulting from
the folly of overlooking breeding ami
mails An excess of fat is q disease not
less than deficiency of bone material,
often causing ricketts, in badly fed chill
dren. or deficiency of brain elements
in man aud beast. Unwise eating and
drinking in the human species, and the
defective feeding OF domestic animals,
are evils of great magnitude a writer
in the Rural World estimates the loss to
Nle farmers of Missouri in 1876 at ten
million dollars from hog cholera alone.

AS illustrating one phase of Roman
life in the first century Of our era moth
ing is SO significant as the narrative of the
younger Pliny. The sublime indifer-
ence of the Roman youth to the marvel
GUS phenomenon which his uncle, the
naturalist, get out from Misenum to OBJ
serve, and the ignorance on the part OF
the latter of the no1ious gases which
caused his death, stand in marked contrast
with the careful observations of volcanic
phenomena made by lady of Boston, OF
no special scientific tastes or training,
who CHANGED TO be an eyewitness of the
eruption of Vesuvius in 1872, an erup-
ton whose various phases have thrown
much new light upog the way in which
Pompeii was overwhelmed. The COW

we owe the wonderful moul6s which
have been made not only of dead bodies

MUSIC IND COLOR.

There was a striking analogy between
music and color; the rate of vibration in
sounds gave rise to the gamut, and in
colors the rate of vibration in like man
ner gave rise to the notes forming the
spectrum. The colors of the spectrum
showed a sequence analogous to the Sc
quenee of pitch in the gamut. New
ton thought that there might be a
correspondence between the length and
the spectrum colors and the vibrations OF
musical sounds, but the true relation
ship was between the vibrating pitch OF
color and the vibrating pitch of sound.
The extreme limits of the spectrum en-
braced an octave in music. Calling red
one hundred, the proportionate vibra-
ton Of orange was eighty-nine, that OF
yellow eighty-one, that of green seventy
FIVE, that of blue sixty-nine, that of in
digo sixty-four, that of violet sixty, THAI
Of uP,a violet fifty-three, and an obscure
or extreme violet fifty. The vibration
of G in music corresponds to that Of RED
in color, and taking c as one hundred
the vibration OF d was eighty-nine, thai
of f eighty, that of f seventy-four, thai
of G. sixty. that of a sixty, tina

ya1~s of Land il. the Cotton States.

TaTss of Land ira the Cotton States.
c. w. Howard, Of Kingston (Ga.),
has an instructive paper in the report Of
the agricultural department for 1874
(just received), on ''The condition of ag-
riculture in the cotton states" in which
he says: "The value of land in the set
tied portion of the older cotton states is
less than, in any other country in chris
tendon. This was the case before the
war. In 1860 the average value of land
in Georgia was $4.s5. The highest value
of the richest county was $1,000 per
acre. The lowest value was 6S cents per
acre. If we contrast these values with
those of the northern, middle or new
northwestern states, the difference is
Stalking"
Low as the price of southern lands was
before the war, in 1860, it is much less al
this time. Having, to-day, the cheapest
lands in christendom, as Mr.. Howard
truly asserts, we ought to produce ia
cattle, horses, mules, sheep, wool, butter
cheese, and all fruits adapted to GU
climate, little cheaper than can be don,
in any other part of the world. Is i
impossible to recast our ideas and reform
our system of land killing?
