work that not only occupies the hands, bu

THE EDUCATING POWER OF A Room.
Some of you who resolutely put all the
pretty things away. and live always in the
darkest and gloOmiest corner of the house.
forget the educating power there is in n
room. School and books and teachers
and companions are not the only influences
which are moulding characters in YOUR
children. Every picture on the wall, the
tints of the paper, and the pleasant or dis.
orderly arrangement of the house, have n
share in making the boys and girls pure
minded and sweet-natured, or the reverse.
Christian GL Work.
A wicked western correspondent saws
that three out of five New England women
are like the moderately educated, moder-
ately good looking, moderately young and
moderately well-bred matron, who does
her own work, soolds her husband, gets
the children off to school, puts the beans
in the water TO swell and the bread in
pans TO rise, and runs over to Mrs. Petit
bones TO get her receipt for raised cakes,
and learn how long Horace Case sat up
the night before with the red-headed
daughter Of the family overhead.

ers. The train leaving at this time be
was obliged TO leave, and Mr.. Douglas
resumed his subject.
In an ante room was an exhibition OF
dairy implements which was large and
interesting.
Moseley & Stoddard show an assortment
of dairy utensils and furnishing goods.
embracing. in part, More's pyramidal
strainer, glass test tubes. thermometers.
cream pals. butter ladies and stamps.
Billiards. oscillating churn. sap pans.
buckets, tubular heaters. etc. etc.
d. B. Wooster, Marshfeld, shows his
Perfected Creamery. This is new ar
rangement, and may be briefly described
AS wooden tank lined with galvanized
iron in which is set tin cans for milk
twenty inches deep and eight inches in d.
ameter These cans are soldered in on
the bottom of the tank, and come up in
this one nine inches from the bottom.
This tank is set on closet two feet in
height. having doors on each side, and the
milk cans come down into this closet
about the same as they come up into the
tank, and end in partly funnel shaped
bottom in which is II faucet for drawing
the milk and cream from the can. The
tank Is intended TO contain water or ice for
cooling the milk in the upper half of its
bulk, and is covered with a ventilaling
iron lined cover. The cans are, of course,
stationary, and the milk and cream are
drawn from them into pals set into the
closet under the cans. The closet, it is
claimed, may be used for refrigerator, us
well us to serve its purpose in the cream
cry. Mr.. Wooster had milk set in sin
gle can embodying his principle.
L. l.. Meanwhile. Poultney, shows a
new churn, which is a box nine inches
square ard two and IL half feet long, which
is near the bottom, at the middle of its
length on n trunnion, and fitting motion
is given by lever fastened to the bottom
of the frame on which it hangs, and
which is connected by rod to an upright
arm fastened to the side of the box
n c. Harris shows II new churn, which
is an oscillating churn, having the same
movement rs the Bullard, but which is
given and regulated by heavy iron pen
dulum attached to the iron frame on
which the churn sets. 1t is claimed to
secure the same results rs the Billiard,
with less room and less cost.
The Vermont Farm Machine Company
had on exhibition the articles whose pres
ence we have so often noticed-the Cooley
creamery, the Davis oscillating churn and
the Eureka butter worker. This feature
was most interesting one of the meeting.

Too Much LANDING knew of far.
mer who, ten years ago, owned one hun
dred and fifty acres, and was doing well
he now owns five hundred, and is worse
of than before. And why ?-Because this
large farm is great bill of expense to
him; he cannot afford to keep it up in
il good condition, and it hangs milestone
of care about his neck. His wife and chill
dren, both sons and daughters, are obliged
to work hard to keep the great machine
running We presume his boys declare
they will leave home as soon ms they are
old enough and the girls say they will
die before they will marry farmers. Nei
Their sons nor daughters are educated as
they deserve to be; they cannot be spared
for this from work on the big farm Now
we declare that such u farm Is curse to
its possesorS and his family.and an injury TO
the whole agricultural interest. Ii the
man wants to save himself and his house
hold, he should sell ut the least one half
of his land, improve the remainder and
make it more productive, release his chill
dren from bondage, and try to make his
home comfort. He will live longer, lay
up as good property, and will train up
Il more intelligent and Il happier family.-

If the COW can be said to have permanent
affections, it is towards the one whose

most profitable returns for the investment.
1t may be objected that have omitted
to report our own dairy practice. | do
not like TO repeat myself. My success
and failures. in the narrow limits of my
experience, have sufficiently been placed
before you. Not that desired publicity,
but as | am very often receiving ideas
from others, leading to thought and inves-
legation, it is but just that should report
the practical results of information thus
obtained.
have read an article entitled " Pomfret
on the Back Track" which seemed to in
dictate Il little sharp but good-natured jest
ing between two very able and honorable
editors, without, perhaps, any further in
tenlions. | have never visited the dairy
men of Pomfret ut their homes, but from
what | know and learn OF them, there is
no place in the state | would desire TO
visit for the purpose of obtaining more
light in the business of dairying than
the town Of Pomfret. | believe they are
in sense pioneers in the Improvement of
dairy stock and dairy practice in Vermont.
About Il year ago l noticed in the New
England Farmer very spicy article
from the pen of Mrs. Z. 5. Wood, read nj
your meeting held ut Milton, in which she
speaks of IL rumor of a certain man in
Vermont who was said to have done cer-
tain things in II small way, with II
small dairy. She remarks that the
rumor Is rather vague, but sufficiently
definite for gossip, and thought il la
inevitable that rumor had not given the
man Il name and local habitation; and
says, 81 But would it not be fine sport for
the young dairymen to find him? Let us
make II ring, as they do in Il bear hunt
and close in upon him." She very graph
ically describes the parsonage they may
expect to find when they come upon him
have felt curious 10 learn the result of
the expedition, and am in hopes to hear II
report from it at the present meeting.

That Failed Of its Purpose on a Firm
Judxe-U. y. Officials Accused OF
Manufacturing and EssuIBE
Counterfeit Money.

LOUISVILLE, April Pending the re-
cent trial OF large number of counterfelters
IN the United States court here, considerable
excitement was created by the issuing on the
motion OF the district attorney a rule against
Colonel Sam NJ 'Kee, one of the counsel, for
number of the accused men rquring him to
deliver to the court certain steel dies used by
the counterfeiters in their work. M'Kee, In
his response TO the rule, stated he could
prove that NJ. G. Bauer, Marion VanHorn
and X. B. Jones, United States secret-service
agents, had themselves both manufactured
and solo the spurious coin, and that they had
brought The dies in question INTO the country
the selves, and that his clients had never
had them, nor did they belong to them. Judge
Ballard minated strongly an intention to
send NJ Ace TO Jail for contempt, but as the
dies were delivered to the court this was not
done. The trial proceeded, and though
every effort was MADE in behalf of the ac-
cused, they having the ablest counsel of the
State, conviction followed in sveTy case,
and the prisoners were sentenced to terms
varying from one year to ten years in the
Joliet Ills penitentlary, it being conclusive
ly shown that the counterfeiters had owned
the dies for years, during all of which time
they had been engaged in the manufacture
OF spurious coin and currency, and the treas
ury agents deemed the conviction and break
ing up of the gang their highest duty aud
paid no attention to attacks on them. Messrs.
Bauer, VanHorn and Jones have done eff
Gent service In breaking up gang of thirty
two members. The convicted persons will
be taken to Joliet at once.
