BY AGRICOLA

There are other important matters
which mothers have to consider in refer
ence to the welfare of their daughters.
Bear with me, good ladies, and l will bp
frank and practical in my treatment of
important questions. 1t is sometimes
asked, have mothers right to insist on
objections which they deem valid to the
proposed marriage of their daughtersp
will also ask preliminary question before
answering this, viz: how far is the mother
responsible for the misiudgment of her
daughters in this regardP l heard, the
other day, of an heiress to a large for
tune who clipped with "a red-headed,
freckle-faced cab driver. who had been in
Jail several times for crimes committed
while under the influence of liquor-lhe
last occasion being on the charge of bur-
glary." Now do not know how that in
fatuated girl was educated by her mother.
Whether that mother so treated her tlaugh-
ter rs TO gain her love and confidence?
Whether, in early girlhood, she properly
instructed that daughter in regard to her
future love and marriage relations
Whether she protected her from acquaint-
ance and intercourse with low and disrep-
utable young men? If her early educa-
ton was neglected by the mother, while
he child was intrusied, for the most part,
10 the care of servants; if she failed to
receive proper instruction on this vital
question, when it should have been given
and if little or no care was taken TO con-
troll her correspondence and intercourse
with such young men as the cab driver.
then her elOpement was natural, and mas
much rs the young "heiress" is to be
pitied for her folly, her mother should be
censured for her neglect.
A case of this kind came under my own
observation, which strikingly illustrates
the same point, A wealthy mother, living
in distant state, had an only daughter
whom she proposed TO educate, and sent
her. at the age of fifteen, east, to board
ing school ior this pun pose. This girl was
a fine scholar. and to all appearance a
reputable young lady. She had made OK.
cellent progress In her studies and gave
promise of high standing at her gradua-
ton. At the end Of one year the mother
allowed her TO come home. but she was to
return to her school ut the end of few
months. Near the time she was to start
again for the east she gained permission
from her mother to visit acquaintance in
IL neighboring town. She did so, and on
the day she WAS to return home, she sent
word TO her mother that she had married
The mother was overwhelmed with grie
and indignation, as the daughter had mar
Tried low, drunken and worthless fellow

But the sequel reveals another fact. That
mother had kept saloon where the low
and vulgar young men of the neighbor-
hood were accustomed to congregate; and
there. in her own house. the daughter had
formed the acquaintance of this miserable
young man; and what is still worse. the
mother had aided in forming his bad hab-
its and character. She disowned her
daughter. and forbid her TO enter her
house. except on the condition that she
would abandon her husband and come
alone.
Now the question returns, who was
mainly responsible for this unfortunate
marriage? I answer unhesitatingly. the
mother, not entirely, but mainly. If that
daughter had been early taught to conf lie
in her mother she would not have taken
that fatal step without the mothers knowl-
edge and consent. If she hal received
proper instructions upon matrimonial
questions. at the proper time, she would
have repealed the attentions Of this vile
young man. If she had not been brought
in contact with him, and allowed to asso-
ciate with him and others like him. she
would have escaped the perils of such a
marriage. Other points will be considered
in my next paper.

AMUSEMENT AT FAIRs.-There is a lit.

VA prominent Chicago paper having late

hood of Elgin, Ill, a number of the larg
est manufacturers of creamery butter
lhereabouts, together with the members of
the Board of Trade for the sale of dairy
butter, emphaticaly denounced the state

and strongly repudiate the use of the con

ed denial of these gentlemen, there is nc
particle of doubt but that II vast quantity
of o!eomargerine is used in this country in
the manufacture, or rather adulteration. oil

upon this denial coupled with other rea

BUTTER DAIRYING.-This is not ex.
hausting to the soil. as the mineral is all
contained in the skinned milk as we'll rs
the nitogen. Butter has been the princi.
pal manufactured product Of the dairy in
The United States, as there are only 300.
100000 pounds Of cheese to 100000 900
of butter made. The American people
are said to be the greatest butter eaters in
the world. and the home market is i'm
mense. There can be no doubt that the
export butter maker receives the hes,
remuneration for his labor and capital
and, since this branch of dairyino also
keeps up the fertility of his soil, there is
much to recommend it. The best article
brings double the price of the common
article and really costs no more, ant
probably less than the poor article. Fol-
the dairymen, who has studied the bu>i
ness enough to know how to make thu
best quality of butter, has also studied the
selection and feeling OF cows, so rs t.
produce the best yield of milk And HI
thus produces more butter from the same
food, and consequently produces butter a
less cost per pound, besides its a,ialit,
rendering it doubly valuable in market
The skinned milk, being fed to pigs m,
calves. makes rich manure which goe
back to the soil. and what is lost is onl,
that which is assimilated into the BODY o.
