PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE
PRODUCTIONS OF MILK

| understand very well, as probably
every man does who handles milk.
that there is wide difference in the
composition of pure milk. especially in
the matter of the percentage of but
ter. All milk is richer in September
than in June, and it varies in this re-
spect in different seasons in the same
herd or COWS. The circumstances
which lead to this are many. The COW
that is feshy gives milk richer in but
ter than the cow that is thin and poor.
One that has reached her full maturi-
ty gives better milk than she did be-
fore she reached that age: a COW that
is gaining flesh day by day gives richer
milk than cow that is losing gradual
| ly. The condition of the pastures
have also much to do with the QUALITY
Of the production. This condition is
governed in turn by the season. Elk
lperience has taught me that a cows

fattens finer calf than that of first.

me what splendid fat calf his cow al.
ways rears, / do not wish to purchase
her for a butter cow.

bly, for any purpose without feeding
his cows literally with good, sound

SUNSHINE AS A SANITARY.
BY ADAM MILLER, M. D.

Sunshine is the only gift of Nature
and Providence not subject to decay
and change. The gentle breeze that
fans us in a Summer evening may
change into sweeping tornado; but
sunshine never rises into storms and
hurricanes. The beautiful rivulet that
flows from the mountain springs may
swell into a mountain torrent, and
sweep away our earthly possessions.
The grand old ocean may overleap it's
boundaries and engulf the inhabitants
of surrounding countries in a Watery
grave; but no crested pillows rise on
the waves of sunshine. It has no
sweeping torrents carrying desolatiOn
and destruction over land and sea. In
the morning it gently lifts the dew
drop from the flower and holds it in
it's bosom until the twilight of evening
calls it back again to revive it from
the heat of the day.
We say,-Open your windows to-
wards the sun, and. if possible, lei
some fresh air and sunshine into your
sleeping apartments every day-not
merely streak Of blue or other color
ed light, but good supply of pure
sunshine, as it comes from it's fountain
head, in all it's beauty and loneliness
1t will avail nothing to sit under the
| light of colored glass an hour or two
each day, and sleep in a poorly venti
lated, musty bedroom in the night
All the progress made during the day
will, under such circumstances, be los
during the night. Many lately raj
with eager haste to get streak of blu,
light, which, at most, is only one-sey
enty part of the pure article, and hopet
to gan what they had lost by neglect
! ing proper appropriation of thei
share of that "sea Of beams
bright Pacific, on whose peaceful
bosom all pleasant things come float
ing down to us" Western Rural. !.

WORKSHOP FOR THE BOYS
BY A FATHER.

BY A FATHER.
/ know at least a score of men who,
although intelligent enough in other
respects, do not know how to drive a
nail in a Workmanlike manner. AS
boys, they were educated with a veiW
to practicing certain vocations or pro-
fessions, and mechanical arts were
completely ignored by their unwise
parents or guardians. Now, it is es-
|sential to every man-lawyer, preach
er, physician, merchant,-to know some
of the principles of mechanical art, and
how to apply them, for no one leads an
industrious life without frequently
seeing the use Of such knowledge.
There are certain mechanical rules that
apply to almost every piece Of work
that man attempts to perform, from
the folding Of a paper to the match
ing together of two boards, and the
bungling manner in which these things
are generally done, shows how little
idea men have cf mechanism.
Then, fathers, whether city men or
country men, fit up a workshop for
boys. A small set Of tools of the best
material will not cost much-not
more than ten OF twelve dollars at
most-and they will soon return you
thrice their value in good accomplish
ed. When there is comfortable
workshop, supplied with good tools,
the boys are seldom known to leave it
on leisure days to loaf in the streets.
If nothing else is given them to do.
they will be manufacturing Wind-mills,
sleds, weather-cocks, hand-carts, etc.,
and every hour thus employed adds to
their skill as workmen. Very soon
they will be able to make rainy days
as profitable as others, repairing, or
making very important fixtures about
the house.
We know boy mechanics who have
furnished their homes with brackets,
fower-stands, step-ladders, and hun
dred other things convenient and val
liable.

'DO DO WHAT YOU DO DO"

''DO DO WHAT YOU DO DO"
The above would be a very good
motto for everyone to adopt, and is es-
pecially fitted for school motto. If
teachers would do what they do, if
they would do their work thoroughly,
do it so well that the next teacher need
not go over the same ground, we
would accomplish much more than
we now do.
A teacher goes over the first princi-
pies Of Arithmetic hastily and care
lessly, the ground rules" are not firm
ly fixed in the pupils mind, and as a
consequence, he stumblos as he adyan-
ces, and the next teacher is obliged to
put him back to the first part of the
book, to go over it again in the same
hasty and careless manner Thus pu-
pills go on from term to term, until
they become heartily sick of mathe-
MATES.
Now if the work be done as it ought
to be done, we need not spend one-half
the time which we do spend on Arith-
metic.
Let us see how this may be done:
Suppose for instance, that class have
been studying the subject Discount:
When you have gone over it, and be-
fore you leave it, require each pupil Of
the class to make a complete abstract
Of the subject. Instead of the exami-
ton which is sometimes given, allow
the pupils certain amount of time in
which to complete an abstract of the
subject, which shall be done in neat
busineSs-like manner, and in which
they are to define all the terms and
principles used in the subject. Thus
in discount they would be required to
define True, & Bank Discount, Present
worth, Face of Note, Proceeds, Days
of Grace, Promissory, Negotiable,
and nOn-negotiable notes &C., and to
give and explain the principles W hich
govern the different operations in Dis
count.
The making Of the abstracts not on
ly develops an interest in the study,
but has tendency to ,fW the matter
in the pupils mind, and if it were iu-
diciously followed, together with
regular monthly or bi-monthly examin-
alton, we would obtain more satisfac-
tory results, and would silence the cry,
''Too much time given to mathemat-
ics."
AS it is in Arithmetic, so it is in ev-
erything else in school. IT'S better to
spend month on one thing and have
it well done, than to rush through at
break-neck speed and then "begin at
the beginning" the next term and rush
through again.

A Rich Find in Prehistoric Stone I'm
Elements.

1 4 f
MI. Robert Edwards, while blowing
about half a mile north of the school
house, turned up a collection Of sixty
seven stone implements. Luckily the
finder knew. their value and preserved
them. The school owes him many
thanks for his care. Mr.. Stewart
heard Of the find Thursday morning,
and by night had them in hand They
are now on exhibition at the High
School room. A few such collections
as this would make the school arch
aologically rich. The stones were ev-
identity placed in a cache for safe keep
ing. The largest is 1019x3h inches,
the next is S19x3, and one 715x3, and
one 7x3l. Fifteen more average 6x2.
The stones are oval, and some are
pointed, and were probably used as
lance-heads and knives, and for skin
ming and dressing skins. They are Of

HOW TO EARN Al COLLEGE ]
CATION.

Apropos of several paragraphs re-
Gently published relating to college ex-
penses at Cornell, a genial correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune de-
scribes his experience at New Eng
land university half a century ago.
His father was a farmer of small
means with a family Of five, and he
was selected for a collegiate education
because he was feeble, puny boy, not
stout enough to become a farmer
During his preparatory studies he was
sent home to die on account Of pro-
tracted hemorrhage of the lungs. The
father died a few weeks before the son
entered college. He was left depen-
dent chiefly on his own resources.
During his college course Of four years
he taught school every Winter. The
schools were large; and outside of the
regular school hours he had to set the
copies, rule the writing-book and
make the pens for most Of the schol-
ars. The wages for the first year were
$3.50 month, and subsequently sS1S..
He earned something during his first
college year by taking care of the re-
citation room; and during the second
year by ringing the chapel bell for
morning and evening prayers. During
one term he boarded himself His
food was brown bread, and crackers
and milk; and he had neither fish,
meat, pies, cake, coffee nor tea. Dur
ing that term he took three extra stud
les, and accomplished more than in
any other term. Then about thirty of
the students formed club, the lowest
cost to each member being $1O6 per
week, and the highest $1.2O. The ex-
cess of his expenses over his earnings
during the college course was $3.50.
He now boasts that he has been act
lively engaged at the bar for forty-six
years, with the exception of six weeks
when he was disabled by ill-health, and
had no vacations. The moral which
he draws for the benefit of grumblers
in hard times, whether poor student,
crispins, tramps or others, is this:
"Work more and spend less.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN,
MADISON, May s, 1878. -
To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
An article appeared in your paper
some time since discussing the relation
Of the State system Of education in
Wisconsin to scholarship.
Most of the statements and all the
differences of that article, so far as they
pertain to the University of Wisconsin,
we wish fatty to deny. They have all
been repeatedly corrected in the papers,
with no apparent effect so far as writ
ers represented by Mr.. Huntington are
concerned.
We are sorry to make any compar1-
sons, but we believe our classical in
struction to be equal in quantity and
quality to any given in the State, and
our scientific instruction to be decisive
| ly superior in these respects.
If any one doubts these facts. the
only sufficient way to settle them is to
come and see. That is our standing
challenge" We cannot, however
leave our building and go down and
offer battle IN the plain to all the San
ballats and Goliahs that may be about
us. JOHN BASCOM.
