REV. ANNA OLIVER, the girl
preacher" as she is sometimes called, is
beginning to attract much attention in
the East. Two Sundays ago she de-
livered an open-air sermon to an immense
audience, in Leffert's Park, Brooklyn.
Her manner is full of earnestness, her
voice clear and distinct. She is the first
woman who ever graduated at Metho-
dist Theological School. She graduated
as a reverend in Boston in 1876, after
three years course of study, during which
she supported herself by working in va
cations. She has now under considera-
ton several calls from churches, but has
as yet decided on none. Besides being
able to preach she can shoot, and goes to
the Adirondacks this summer with some
lady friends. She intends to apply to
the Methodist General Conference to be
regularly ordained this fall. 1t may be
expected that something OF hornets
nest will thereby be stirred up among
the reverend brethren, who are at all
times intimately acquainted with the
intentions of the Almighty concerning
woman. The larger the hornets nest,
the more fun it will be for sinful out
siders Miss Oliver is an Ohio woman.
! She is from Cincinnati.

The Value Of knowledge.

We have unbounded faith in the value, the
money value of useful knowledge, and would
have every farmer an intelligent man a.
well educated as possible especially in those
things most nearly related to his business
Many men have succeeded without the aid
of learning. All honor to the man who
amid all the disadvantages of childhood OF
poverty and ignorance, has won for himself
a competence and an honorable position
The man who would sneer at him for his
lack of learning is far below him. But
shame and dishonor to him if, when he is
able, he allows his sons or his daughters to
labor under like disadvantages. The pride
of America, -not only her greatness, but tn,
safety of her liberties-lies in the education
of her people.

Farm VS.. City Life.

An aged correspondent of the Name Far
mer gives the following "short history" of
the family of one of his neighbors: ale
had family of three boys and three girls
they are now all living and have families.
One of the sons and one of the daughters
went to Boston to seek their fortunes when
they became of age, while the Others re-
manned and settled as farmers and farmers

birthplace, and by their fine clothes and a
liberal display of jewelry became almost the
envy of us country boys-we inferriug that
Boston was good place to get rich, speedily.
Twenty years have passed away-the boys
and girls who settled down in Maine have
fine thrifty farms well stocked--nce farm
buildings--are out of debt, enjoy all the
comforts of life, and in fact are what is
known as "well-to do families. Being in
Boston a few months since, | called to see
my old neighbors. They reside in hired
tenement-houses, in the fourth story on a
narrow and confined street, and complained
of very dull times, with hut little employ
ment and small compensation for labor; and
they informed me that if it were not for as
sistance received from their brothers and sis
tiers in the country they could not make a
living during the present dull times"

Economical Items.

THE butter for which the farmer can
scarcely get the cost of production is &C.
counted in the cities as being beyond the
reach of the artisan.
IT is estimated upon careful calculation
that fully onefourth of the earnings of the
poor in cities is absorbed 10y the extortion-
AIRY profits of the retail trade; aud mainly
of the trade in what they eat and drink.
The average price paid by the consumers
in cities for articles of food is rarely less
than double what the producer receives
that is, 1t costs as much to exchange as to
produce, while the price OF exchanging is
divided among far less number, and for far
less work.
HORACE GREELEY declared that the ma,
chinery whereby vegetables, fruits, eggs
milk, aud many other articles of farm pro
duce, are collected from the farms and gar,
dens Of the producers, and supplied To the
neighborng cities and villages, is nearly as
expensive and rude as it was in the days OF
Homer and the elder Pharaohs.
A DISTINGUISHED writer onIpoltical econ,
omy -Carey-says, Commerce is designed
to bring the producer aud consumer into re-
lation that is, if it has any object, But in
itself it produces nothing; it adds nothing
TO the commodities which it circulates. II
is obviously, then, for the general Interest
to reduce commercial agents to the smallest
number"

The Snowflake Potato.

"A Farmers Wife" writes in the Coun-
try Gentleman as follows about the Snow
flake potato. "If you have good thing
talk about it, was favorite saying of an
old gentleman, and think he was in the
right. We have some nice potatoes and |
feel like talking about them. They are the
Snowhakes, aud think they are as good as
can be. They supply all we expect or de-
sire, in potato; they are delicious to the
TASTE full of nourshment, and cook quickly,
and-that is great recommendation to the
housewife-they are smooth and wash easy
and look nice; they are equally good baked,
or boiled, and are delightful mashed. do
not know but they are as early AS the Early
Rose, if they are planted as soon in the
spring, but they are superior in looks, quality
and flavor. They are the hest potato for
the table ever used. 1t costs no more to
raise good pot toes than it does poor ones,
and have decided preference for the best. "

We are not going TO answer for the "cold
setters," for we follow the Ellsworth plan OF
heating the milk and setting in small pans,
as the most convenient way for such very
small dairy as ours. But we would call at
tention to this experiment as in some de-
gree substantiating our position that the
one essential condition of rapid separation
is uniform temperature. But uniform
high temperature, though 1t may separate
the cream quickly, also spoils the milk
quickly, and there.i is where the cold settlers
have an advantage.
We have never heard cold setter, or a
deep setter, alege that a perfect separation
can not be obtained by hot setting, or by
shallow setting. What is claimed for deep
cold setting is that the milk is left perfectly
sound and sweet after the cream is taken
off, that the cream is perfectly uniform
and that the same results are ensured all the
year round also, that in a large dairy there
is saving of labor. They do not advocate
their methods as the only way to get all The
cream, or as the only way to make first cas'
butter. What they do say, as we under
stand it, is that it is the best way, especially
on the large scale. Aud don't you think il

Some Rough Facts.

The editor of the New England Farmer
has been to the meeting OF the Connecticut
Board of Agriculture, aud saw some things
which made him talk as follows " Is Yam
kee blood fading out in New England :
Don't farmers want to learn, or are they not
aware of their ignorance 1t was stated at
the meeting, by member of the Board,
that whenever a bill is brought before the
Legislature, designed to aid the farmer in
any way, it is opposed by no class so bit
terly az by the farmers themselves. The
Board of Agriculture and the experiment
station had been hndered more by farmers
than by any other class in the state, and
that too, when the appropriation only asked
for sum of money of which the proper
ton to be paid by the farmers would
not exceed two cents for each farm in the
state. We don't wonder that the friends OF
improved agriculture do get a little dis
couraged sometimes, when trying to better
the condition of the farming classes"

A Thrilling Wolf Story.

The first settlers of Maine found, beside
its red-faced owners other and abundant
sources OF annoyance and danger The ma
iestic forests. which then waved where now
is heard the hum of business, and where
thousand villages stand were the homes of
innumerable wild and savage animals. Often
at night were the farmers family aroused
from sleep by the noise without, which told
that bruin was storming the sheeppen or the
pig-sty, or was laying violent paws upon
some unlucky calf-and often, on a cold win
ter evening, did they roll larger log against
the door, and with heatirg hearts draw
closer around the fire, as the dismal howl Of
the wolf echoed through the woods. The
wolf was the most ferocious, blood thirsty,
but cowardly of all, rarely attacking man,
unless driven by severe hunger, and seeking
his victim with the utmost pertinacity. The
incident here related occurred in the early
history of Biddeford.
resident of that place, Mr.. H, was
one autumn engaged in Telling trees at some
distance from his house. His little son,
eight years old. was in the habit, while his
mother was busy with household cares, of
running out into the field and woods around
the house, and often going where the father
was at work
One day, after the frost had robbed the
trees of their foliage, the father left his work
sooner than usual. and started for home.
Just on the edge of the forest he saw curl
GUS pile of leaves-without stopping to think
what had made it, he cautiously removed
the leaves, when what was his astonishment
to find his own darling boy lying there sound
asleep Twas but the work OF a moment
to take up the little sleeper, put in his place
Il small log. carefully replace the leaves, and
conceal himself among the nearest bushes
there to watch the result.
After waiting there short time, he heard
VOLTS distant howl, quickly followed by
another and another, till the woods seemed
alive with the fearful sounds. The howls
came nearer, and in a few minutes a large
gaunt, strengthening wolf, leaped into the
opening closely followed by the whole pack
| The leader sprang directly upon the pile OF
leaves, and in an instant scattered them IN
every direction. Soon as he saw the de
crption, his look of fierceness and confidence
changed to that of the most ahject fear. He
shrank back, covered to the ground, anC
passively awaited his fate; for the rest, en-
ragged by the supposed cheat, fell upon him
tore him in pieces, and devoured him on tn,
spot. When they had finished their com
rade, they wheeled around, plunged into tn,
forest, aud disappeared; within five minute'
from their first apl earance not wolf wa
in sight
The excited father pressed his child to hi.
bosom, and thanked the kind Providenc,
which led him there to save his dear boy
The boy, after playing till he was weary
had laid down and fallen asleep, and in tina
situation had the wolf found him and GOV re,
him with leaves, until he could bring hi
comrades to the feast but himself furnished
the repast.-Selected.
