Remarkable Cow.

Mr.. John W. Baker. county clerk
OF Mclean county, is the fortunate
owner of COW whose milk turns to
butter without churning or other
agitation whatever. The cow is
part Durham and part Texan, pale
red in color and rather large. Her
calf is two months cid. She gives
daily about one gallon of milk, and
every morning from one to two lbs.
Of rich butter is skinned from the
previous days milk. The butter
thus obtained is equal in color and
quality to that produced by long
and arduous churning. These facts
we're given US by Mr.. Baker himself,
who has owned the COW but a few
weeks. He prizes her beyond price
and is hopeful that she may become
the mother Of cows possessing the
same remarkable characteristics

Clean HAY.

hay free from foreign matter;
The feeding of clean hay to cattle

much about it until they or their

suddenly and without any apparent
cause. An examination OF the body
revealed the fact that he swallowed
a niece of steel wire which originally
belonged TO hoop-skirt, which had
penetrated one of the lungs, and this
caused his death. The wire had
been put in his manger with some
hay, and proved very Improbable
material for feeding. And now
comes a report from Kentucky that
a farmer has lost three valuable cows
from the effects Of poison. A few
tobacco leaves were mixed with the
hay. The cow ate both leaves ana

of a great deal OF the butter which
is sent to market at this season of
the year is due to q similar cause.
And as no possible good can come
from feeding either wire or weeds,

the hay, it certainly seems to be the
best to avoid all the dangers which
such a course weuld involve.

How to Keep Boys at Home.

Rev. w. H. H. Murray in the Golden Rule.
Amuse your boys if you wish to keep
them at home. Play whist withe them
at home. Play whist with them.
WHAT I here some Of you say,
why, | am member of DIR. So-and-so's
church" We'll, let him go to the dogs
for once; let your church 60 to the dogs,
and save your boys from going. When
[ was young man at college there was
deacons son there at the same time,
and he told me he learned to play ''old
sledge" in the hay NOW when his father
was reading commentaries. 1t is fact,
and not matter of laughter, and that
same young man died a drunkard and
gambler. He lived in the Connecticut
Valley, and l could give his father
name if l was so disposed Bob told
me more than a dozen times if his father
had only played some kind of game
him-''if he had only been human with
me, Deacon Murray said he, Il should
have been a church memb Der just as you
are" want you to understand l was
deacon then. l think Bob was right.
So | say play whist with your boys, play
dominoes or checkers-in fact any pleas
ant, healthy game. Read poetry with
them, for boys like poetry; if not, read
bear stories. Get him to read to you;
and here let me say that this is one OF
the best possible ways to keep your
boys home, and one of the most bene-
fetal in its effects Teach them to feel
that you are dependent upon them for
company. So l say to you, make your
home happy in way that boys like, and
not the way some churches like. Boys
are worth more than church forms, for
boys are germs of angels, or else they
are the seeds out of which devils
spring. If felt that my boy would eat
peanuts in church, that he would 60 to
sleep because he was not interested. l
should spend one-half of a day under
the hedges or by some running spring,I
should preach to that boy in way that
would make him forget his peanuts and
sleeping in church. The running spring
should remind him of that fountain of
living water which flows from the throne
of God. If there was bit of sea, it
should remind him of that sea of crys-
tai before the throne of God. If there
was an empty acorn, it should remind
him of the temple of clay, out of
which the spirit had departed All
things should be service to God. the
fields and the skies should be the church;
and that boy should be made follower
of Christ in that way because he is best
adapted to that kind of service.

A Great Evil.
UniversaliSt Quarterly.


The foe of American social life is in
the tendency to luxury and effeminacy
among the well-to-do young women of
our cities and large towns They do not
realize how this dreadful mania for ex-
pensive pleasures, and life of alternate
idleness and amusement, is destroying
their health, abolishing true marriage,
feeding the fame Of gross sensuality
and intemperance among young men,
and saddening the hopes Of the best pa
rents in the land. Some Of them will
never know of it in this world. But
most OF them have no real purpose to
waste their lives in this wretched way.
And it is a high crime in mothers,
teachers, ministers Of religion and the
public press to pander to this insanity.
Thousands of good hearted young girls
are sacrificed every year, when little
wise and loving guidance could save
them. But we feel that they should be
told that unless they change this life
they will pass away like the flowers Of
June, and more hardy and resolute
class occupy their places.
American society will shed every class
OF triflers, male or female, that does not
do it's work, like the forests shed their
withered leaves. Let them awake from
their dream of social indulgences; learn
to live out of doors; to build up their
I health; to cultivate more simple tastes
in dress, and more moderation in pleas
ure; study domestic economy, study
social skill and tact; fit themselves for
the noblest positions ever yet offered to
their sex, and learn that woman is the
soul Of American life, not the tinsel on
| its garment.

Schools at the County Fair.

While in attendance at the county
fair, last fall, we held some conversa-
tion with the president of the society,
concerning the propriety of providing
for public school exhibit as one of it's
features.
1t was thought, at that time, that
such an exhibit might be made a valua-
bic item in the fair, and could be easily
secured for the next year, if attended to
in season.
Now, what do the teachers of the
county think of this matter? Shall our
schools be represented in the next fair?
Examination papers, specimens of draw
ing, penmanship and map drawing, dia-
grams, business papers, letters, essays
and the like, would be suitable items
for display.
Will those who take an interest in
such project correspond with us, or
with County Supt. Parker. Definite ar
rangements should be made before long,

Announcement to School Officers.

We hereby announce that, owing to
an oversight on the part of some one,
the joint resolutian authorizing the
publication of school laws failed to be-
come operative. Our entire stock of
school laws is exhausted, and no means
are provided to furnish a new supply.
IF we receive sufficient demands before
May l, 1873, for copies of school laws,
at not exceeding twenty cents per copy,
through county superintendent we
will publish them.
We suggest that any board of direc
tors who desire copies at cost, send
request to the county Superintendent of
their county, who will forward such
requests to us The expense might
properly be paid from the contingent
fund. No requests ought to be sent to
us except through county superinten-
dents, as it only embarrasses us.

prepares for real life. Pupils are treat
ed as intelligent, self-determining and
law-abiding persons.
!. The teacher proposes and explains
the regulations. While he acts with
the pupils he is the conceded leader.
2. The teacher and pupils adopt the
regulations. Laws imposed without the
consent Of the governed are repulsive.
The obligation to obey self-imposed
rule is doubly strong This plan is found
to produce the very best results.
3. The teacher and pupils pledge
themselves to make an earnest effort to
obey and sustain the regulations. The
pledge is eminently proper, and is a
powerful means of promoting good con-
duct.
4. The school board approves the
regulations. 1t may be well in all cases
to submit the regulations to the school
board for official endorsement. The
President signs bills passed by both
houses of Congress SO the school
board should give authority to the reg
ulations adopted by the school and
teacher.
5. The teacher executes the regula-
tions The fitness of this will be ap-
parent to every pupil. In the discharge
of this duty, each pupil stands pledged
to assist the teaher All wogk together
to secure the same end.
6. Illustration. Attention is called to
the necessity for some regulations. AS
the State must have laws, so the school
must have regulations. Take promti-
tude.
Teacher. How many think that the
teacher and pupils should be prompt ?
Pupils all raise their hands.
Teacher. How many are in favor OF
making promptitude one of our regula-
tions ?
Pupils all raise their hands -.
Teacher. All that will join with me
in pledge to make an earnest effort to
be prompt while connected with the
school. please rise
Pupils all rise.
Thus, in few minutes, at the close
of the first day, the regulations may be
unanimously adopted. The pupils will
regard them as their own, and hence
will feel under peculiar obligations to
sustain them. The true idea Of school
government may thus be realized The
governing force is from within and not
from without. Self-government be-
comes habit. A noble manhood re.

The enforcement of the regulations
is of the utmost Importance. | have

From regret!
But yesterday Is gone, and shall its sorrow
UNFIT us for the present and the morrow?
