The SKINNER.

The Dairyman humorously puts the
soliiquies of the undecided cheese
maker on the skimming question as
follows. We can only wish that Mac
beth's witches may take the man vino
takes the cream from oar cheese:
To skim or not TO skim-that is the
question. Whether It's nobler i'm The
man To suffer the slngs and arrows OF
temptations power, or take the cream
from evenings mess of milk; and by
skimming end il? To skim, to churn
no more-and by the step summarily
end the question and the thousand ar
guments that rise up, cream like! Ills
a consummation that should give us
thought. To skim, to churn! to skim!-
perchance too much. Aye, there's the
rub! For best of butter there's an DER
supply, and markets suffer from inferior
cheese, must give us pause. There's
the respect for home consumption, now
so very small; for who would ruin, what
should most demand, markets ut home,
Or from proud mems tables drive the
use of cheese, because so poor, and
make them think they do not relish that
which Englishmen with every meal doth
take, because impoverished and taste
less, made by use of skimmerY Then
the extra work-to grunt and sweat
over the vhurn and bowl, and the uten-
sils of the butter room, with dubious
hope of getting ones reward in the in
creased returns, puzzles the will, and
makes us rather work the milk mp whole
than turn to practices we know not OF,
nor see the end, except in dimmest
shaGe.

The Aetor,s OLD Love.

Mr.. Macready survived his retirement
from the stage more than twenty-five
years, which he spent first ut Sherborne,
and afterward at Chel,enham, where he
died on the 9th of April, 1878. 1t was
his fate TO see many OF his ''dear ones
laid in earth.n His wife and most OF
his children preceded him To the grave.
lie married most happily second time
in 1860. Removed from tile stage and
its iealOusies, all his fine qualities had
freer scope; and we think now with
pleasure of his venerable and noble
head, as we SAW il last i'm 1872, and OF
the sweet smile of his beautiful mouth,
which spoke of the calm wisdom of a
gentle and thoughtful old age. We
have reason To know that he looked
back with yearning fondness TO the stu
dies and pursuits which had made him
famous. The fretfui jealousies, the
passionate wilfulness of the old times
seem To have faded into the dim past,
and no longer marred the memory cs
kindness donean loyal service rendered
to him. He had done much good in the
sphere which Providence had assigned
him, and we believe had LEANED to know
that twas not for him to repine, if 1.-The
divinity that shapes our ends had SO
shaped his that his work was to be ac-
complisfed upon the stage. 1t is of the
man as we then saw him, the man whom
we had known as a highly-cultiyated
and essentially kind-hearted gentleman
that we would rather think, than of the
actor, with all his weaknesses cruelty
laid bare.-L09iOn Omlferly.

Charges Ayai4st the Honey Bee.

We have always admired the way,
says the Los Angeles Herald, "the little
busy bee improves each shining hour -
but there is one thing about the indus
triOus creature that is not generally
known. An immense honey production
has grown up in Los Angeles and San
Diego counties in the past two or three
years. Every canon and coigne of VAN
tage, in both counties, has its bee farm.
Col. Chalmers Scott informs us that the
bees in San Diego county have deveI-
Oped a great fondness for orange bios
SONS and grapes. 1t was the fashion,
formerly, tcmake 1900 or 5000 gallons
of wine at Gaujome every year, but
since the bees have made their appear
ance the vineyard at that point has failed
to yield. The grape forms as of yore,
but the juice is sucked out by the bees,
thus anticipating the WINE press. They
dip into the orange blossoms also, and
the consequence is that the fruit is
dwarfed. Of course, in Los Angeles
county we have enough grapes and
orange blossoms to make the depreda-
tions of the insect a very trifiing matter.
Besides, the bee ranches are located at
such a distance from our vineyards and
orange groves that any injury they could
inilict upon them is very trifling mat
ter.
Some ill-feeling has grown up between
the bee menand the sheep men of San
Diego county, from cause which de-
velops an interesting trait on the part
Of the bees. AS is generally known, a
great portion of the feed of bees in
southern California is the blossom of
the white sage. II makes white and
agreeable honey. But when sheep have
once pastured among the white sage the
bees will have nothing more to do with
it.
1t is quite likely that, at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, there will be an
effort both upon the part of the bee men
and the sheep men to obtain some leg
islation from their respective stand
points. If the bees multiply at the rate
which has characterized them for the
pastth years, the controversies which
will arise about them may rival the
fierce collisions of the fence and no.
fence men. We have thus far had the
sweet, we shall shortly be treated to the
sting.

Usims -. Influence.

A good citizen, who has the cause OF
temperance ut heart, was yesterday up
and down Michigan avenue to watch
Tor topers and 10 coax them TO sign the
pledge and mend their ways. lie got
hold of three hard cases at once and
took them into a boot and shoe store TO
argue the point. They were willing to
listen. but obstinate about signing, and
the good man went ont TO secure more
influence. lie met IL butcher whom he
had long known, and, explaining the
case to him, the butcher replied:
They won't sign, eh? Well, now
you see if they don't. They know me,
and they'll put their names down like a
streak of lightning!n
Entering the store he unfolded the
pledge, and to the first he said:
''Tom, want your fist to this?'
81 druther not, replied Tom.
''You put your nme down here or
Ill give you the worst humping you
ever got, and don't forget itl' yelled the
butcher.
Tom signed, and the man of meat
crooked his finger at jim, who didn't
hesitate aminute. The third one didn't
know the butcher, and he said he
wouldn't sign the pledge for no man.
Il guess you will guess you will"
said the butcher, as he rolled up his
sleeve. "I'm coming nowln
He took the topper by the throat, flung
him over box of boots and into cor
ner, and in thirty-nine seconds from the
first dash the topper called out:
LET up on me and gimme the penl"
He signed, and then placing the three
in row in front of him the butcher
said:
I'm temperance all over. and my
whole heart is i'm this work. III l catch
either one of you guzzling any more
drink I'll tie you in a knot around a
lainp-post and pump you out with a fire
steamer! GlaEg now, and see if you
can't convert some one elsel"

The Farm

The peach was originally a poisonous
almond tree, but cultivation and trans
planting have made it one of the most
delicious of all domestic fruits.
The Georgia Constitutional Conven-
ton adopted an article providing that
the homestead is not TO exceed $1,000
either of personality or reality, or both.
with right to waive all but $500, and
the waiver can be made without the
consent of the wife.
The flowers and pods of the white
clover may be ground up into sort of
-four, of which bread has been made in
time of famine in Ireland and Scotland.
This bread, which is considered to he
very wholesome and nutritive, is, in
Ireland, called Chambroch bread.
Inspector Drexel, of Pittsburgh, Pa,
has notified the people of that city that
new potatoes should not be washed and
allowed TO stand, as it will absorb the
starch from them and cause foreign
matter of a greenish color to form un-
der the skin, which is very unhealthy
and causes cholera morbus.
There are millions of acres OF the best
land in the world to be had at low prices
and on easy terms. The man who owns
farm is sure of a living, and is not de-
pendent upon any person or corpora
tion. The farmer never strikes, nor
does he think of demanding an eight
hour law for himself or his hired help.
In the department of the Aube in
France special attention is paid to tie
fattening of calves. The milk Of three
cows is given to a calf for period Of
three months, at the expiration of which
time it will weigh from $50 to $50 pounds.

Germany has beenI in the habit of
importing an average of 69, 600 horses a
year since 1872, and exporting only
1000. Since the 1st of january last
the importations have fallen off, and
the expectations increased immensely.
so that at the rate things are going on
now the excess of imports i'm 1877 would
only be 400 against 81 600 excess ir
ordinary years. This is why Germany
has forbidden the sending away of
horses from the empire at present.

A Sand Storm in Nevada.

For a time yesterday afternoon
quite heavy sand-storm was in pro
gress on the large desert some forty
miles TO the eastward of this city. Great
clouds of sand were sCel TO rise and
sweep along over the plain, gradually
ascending until the highest peaks of
the Humboldt Mountains were hidden.
In appearance the drifting sands much
resembled the clouds of snow raised by
winter storms on the prairies of the
West. The sand also forms drifts On
dunes, as drifts are formed from snow.
Every clump of greasewood has its
surrounding hillock of sand. and in
places long ridges of sand are seen as in
many localities on the shores of the sea.
