The home is the chid's first school and
the parents are its first teachers. They
cannot help being so, for this is Gods
plan. Describe faithfully a mans early
environment, and we can reckon pretty
fairly the result of his condition and train
ing. Fathers and mothers who are living
without the recognition of God in the
world, are rearing Goddess children. They
know nothing OF God rs being to wor-
ship and love; their interests and affections
are all degtaded, because child learns 10
enjoy and love the things it has been led to
think about. Its tastes are set and cult
waited in its first surroundings, and by its
earliest friends. We often see irreligious
influences. l know parents in country
village who send their boys and girls to
church and to two Sabbath schools, but
they do not go themselves. The child
knows very well that the parent has no
interest in these blessed privileges, and he
does not count them of any value except
for the amusement and change they can
afford him. 1t seems as if the girls re-
garded the Sabbath as day for the exhi-
bition of hats and ribbons. The father
willingly spends his earnings that his
children may step down from the piazza,
where he sits reading his newspaper, as
well dressed as their little neighbors. The
bell is ringing, but there is no response in
his heart and he lets his little ones 90
alone to the house of God. How hard il
is under such homeinhuence for the pastor
or teacher to gain any real attention.

Through the courtesy Of j. Z. HOLSTER
ESQ.,, we received an invitation to attend
the meeting of the County Council of the
Patrons of Husbandry at North Montpelier
last week, of which meeting we made
report last week.
The village of North Montpelier is
pleasant one-at the outlet of one of the
prettiest ponds in the state. At this out
let is quite large woolen mill. employing
we believe, some twenty five or thirty
hands; the goods they are now running
on being "ladies' cloth" and "repellants. ;
But the industry more interesting to u.s.
and we presume TO our readers also, was
the cheese factory. 1t was built two years
ago, and has a capacity for the milk OF
seven hundred COWS.
When it was built the patrons Of it
guaranteed the milk of three hundred
cows for three years; but the number has
increased till they will work the milk of
about six hundred cows at the first of June
when one hundred and seventy-five more
cows will come in, according to contract,
when the product will amount to about
fourteen hundred pounds Of cheese per
day,
Miss Cole of Rome, N. Y, superintends
the cheese making and has the assistance
of two men. After looking over the fac
tory we were taken in hand by Mr.. A. j.
Hollister, and conducted TO his house,
where we in company with other repre-
sentatives of the press had Il bouutiful
supper, after which we looked over his
premises and stock. Mr.. HOLSTER is
milking about thirty cows, some of which
looked like pretty good ones; but we think
Friend HOLSTER would find it profitable
even at the present low price Of dairy
product, to put in a little more meal il
their feed. Mr.. Fl. has very peasan
situation-improved to good advantage.
The land in the vicinity looked lik'
good, productive soil, though some of i
looked rather like sandy land which Nigh
require more frequent dressing TO keep VI
its production.
Altogether our visit to North Montpelie
was a most pleasant one, and we hope t
visit there again sometime when we ca
look over the country little more thol
oughly.

TIE LIGHT BRAHMAs.-In a pretty
large experience with fowl raising, for the
last thirty years, we have tried many sorts,
new and old, and have settled upon the
Light Brahma as the best fowl for villagers
and farmers. They are long time in
coming to maturity, but there is no diff
Guilty in getting nice broilers from them,
in July and August, or in getting eggs
from the early pulle,s in the fall, and that
is about all that can be done with the
earlier varieties. Well fed pullets begin
ming to lay in November, in warm quar-
ters, will give an abundance of eggs
through the winter, when they bring the
best prices. They are the largest breed
with which we are acquainted, adult cocks
sometimes weighing thirteen to sixteer
pounds, and hens ten to twelve pounds
The flesh is of good quality, and wher
one comes to the table, there is enough tC
90 round and some to spare. They are the
most popular of all varieties, tested by the
demand for breeding fowls and eggs

In your leading editorial in the same
number, you spoke of breeding OIL cows
horns, which | wish could be done gener-
ally: and there is another appendage to n
cow should like to see bred off, which
to the mixer, is much greater nuisance
than the horns, and really cannot see
what great use it is to the cow more than
are the horns. In the sheep, this appen-
dage must come off rs matter of course
but in the COW the idea of removing it
would be considered species of brutality !;
but cannot see why it is any worse in
one case than in the other. In fly time,
to be sure she keeps it pretty busy in try
ing to whip off the flies, though the mixer
takes most of the blows. This is very
trying to his temper, besides smearing
him with filth and tearing through his
face and eyes in u merciless manner.
Now, suppose the tail should be shortened
so when it is set swinging it would clear
the top of the mixers head and save a
good deal ofannoyance, T really cannot
see what great benefit it is to the COW to
keep it switching, for the fly, if driven off,
only flies to new spot the tail cannot
reach, and takes his drop of blood in safety
after all. Cats tails have in some instan-
ces, been bred off; why may not the
cows to some extentP | have seen COW IS

A CORES pondent of the Fdrna Gnd Fire

his wife had her bottle of spirits of am

VALUE OF JERsEYs.-A public sale of
number of imported Jersey COWS, in the
city of New York, at an average OF over
fonr hundred dollars each, shows that
this class of stock is not deteriorating IN
value. An examination of the COWS sold,
satisfies US that lot of equal quality
could be picked up in almost any county,
where there is fair sprinkIing of Jerseys,
at less price than four hundred dollars
each These, however, were imported
and it seems to be tue, now as ever,
"that II prophet is not without honor save
in his own country, ETC." There are Jer-
seys now in America, and scores, if not
hundreds of them, that are better than any
we see imported, and no other milking
stock is so rapidly taking hold of the farm
crs fancy as grade Jerseys, especially for
butter dairies. The greatest value OF a
pure breed is in its use for crossing, and
the American farmers are fast finding out
that the grade Jersey Cor Alderney,, as it
is often wrongly called) is very valuable

BROAD TIRES TO WHEELs.-The condi-
ton of the roads the past winter, has done
more to commend broad tired wheels, than
all the arguments that have ever been ut
tered. The soft roads have been so cut up
with the one and three-fourths-inch wagon
tires. and these have sunk so deeply in the
mud that, in some places, travel has been
impossible for weeks at time. Those
who have been thus mud-bound, are now
convinced that it might have been better
for them had the tires of their wagons
been three or four inches wide; but they
are still in doubt about the ease of draft OF
these broad wheels. Now, it should be
evident that broad wheel, that will moi
sink into the ground, is of much easier
draft than a narrow one that cuts in two
or three inches. The difference in DRAFT
Of narrow and broad wheel upon the
hardest, smoothest road is inappreciable
and it is matter of doubt if it is in favo
of the one or the other. Theoretically
there may be a difference, to small ex
tent, in favor of the narrow tire, but ~
our roads are far from being hard Of
smooth, the difference of draft will be de
cidedly in favor of the broad tire. A loat
of manure can be drawn across ploweC
ground in "a broad tired wagon, by team
that could not move it in one with marrow
tires, and the softer the ground, the NOR
apparent will be the difference in favor c
| the broad wheels. 1t is TO be hoped tina
the manufacturers of wagons will max
the experiment of Offering wheels wit
broad tires; we believe they would 500
become very popular. Agricu

Feeding Stums.
THEIR COMPOSITION ANDRELATIvE YALu

THEIR COMPOSITION AND RELATIvEY VALUE.
The following extract is from the Report
of the Connecticut Agricultural Expert
ment Station for 1877:
The following table of the composition,
content of digestible nutritive ingredients
and money value, of a few of the most
important feeding stuffs. is taken from the
German of Emil Wolf, of the Agricultural
Academy at Hohenheim, and represents
the most recent and most Trustworthy
knowledge on these subjects.
The composition of feeding stuils, as
here stated, is the average result of the
numerous analyses that have been made
within twenty-five years, mostly in the
German Experiment Stations.
The quantities of digestibie ingredients
are partly derived from actual feeding ex-
periments and are partly the result Of
calculation and comparison.
The percentages of the three classes OF
digestible matters, viz. albuminOids. carb-
hydrates and fat, form the basis for calcu-
lating the money value of feeding stuffs.
The values attached to them by DR.. Wolff
are the following. the German mark being
considered rs equal to "a cents, and the
kilogram equal to % ID. av.:
ID. of digestible albumlnOids ia worth e cents
i" Carbohydrates %
These figures express the present rela-
tive money values of the respective food
elements in the German markets. Whether
or not these values are absolutely those OF
our markets, they represent about the reld'
tire values of these clemens approximate
ly,and we may Professionally employ them
for the purprse of comparing together oul
feeding stufls in respect TO money value
These money or market values are to {
degree Independent of the feeding values
That is, if of two kinds of food, for example
Hungarian hay and malt sprouts, the ont
sums up value of 6G cents, and the othel
value of $l.31 per hundred, it does no
follow that the latter is worth for all pur
poses of feeding twice rs much as thu
| former, but it is meant that when both arr
properly used, one is worth twice as mucl
money as the other. In fertilizers we es
innate the nitrogen of ammonia salts Il
"a cents per pound, and soluble phosphorl
acid at y 1-2 cents; but this means sim
ply that these are equitable market price
for these articles, not that nitrogen /
worth twice rs much as soluble phosphor

exact variations may be obtained from al

The Scientific Farmer says that Hunga.
rian grass, cut green and well cured, is
used by some good Vermont dairymen as
food for butter cows, and they claim
that it has the effect to give butter the
true summer yellow. 1t is suggested that
Hungarian so cured remains bright and
green all winter; and because one of the
elementary colors which goes to make
green, is yellow, that it is this greenness
of the fodder which imparts the yellow
color.
