the moment with suggesting certain gen.

and upon both parties OF the action Of the

undoubted and very great benefit to the
country, that the nomination Of General
Hancock makes impossible, what in the
common political slang Is called a"bloody

The Southern question, so-called, has
been for years not merely sterile, but a

When something like ten minutes had

great difficulty, changed her vote TO is for

Nebraska changed her vote to Hancock.
Virginia then changed TO Hancock, then

DAIRY NOTES.

The milk trade of the Aylesbury dairy
company of London now amounts to
700, 600 gBllons a year.
Farmers can not be too careful in pro-
yiding shelter and plenty of good food
for stock now. Many diseases that check
the flow of milk can be traced to the
sudden change of temperature, which a
generous supply of nutritious food would
enable them to Withstand.
Turnips fed to COWS increase the flow
of milk, and aid to the digestion of hay
and other dry fodder.
Well fed and well housed calves will
90 through the winter in good condition
and pay for their keeping and care.
The question of profit in dairying
often depends on the question whether
the COW, as a milk producing machine,
shall feed to it's fullest capacity, or only
just enough to keep in operation.
Cows that produce milk rich in butter
are not always profitable for cheese max
ing.

ENGLISH Manners.

English people impress you first of all
oy a sense of the genuineness of their ac-
tions and of their speech. Warm or cold
they may be, gracious or ungracious, ar
rOgant or considerable, but you feel that
they are real Englishmen adulterate
their goods, but not their conduct If
an Englishman makes you welcome, you
feel at home; and you know that, within
reason, and often out of reason, he will
look after your comfort that for your
well-being while you are under his roof
he considers himself responsible. And
yet he does not thrust himself upon you,
and you may do almost what you choose,
and go almost whittier you will If
he wants you to come to him, he will
take more trouble to bring you than you
will to 60 and vet make no fuss about it
any more than he does about the suns
rising, without which he would be in
darkness. If he meets you and gives
you two fingers, it means only two fin
gers; if his whole hand grasps yours, you
have his hand, and you have it most
warmly at your parting. lis speech IS
like his action. His social word is his
social bond; you may trust him for all
that it promises, and commonly for more.
If you do not understand him we'll, you
may suppose at first that he is inditter-
ent and careless, until something IS done
for you, or suggested to you, that shows
you that his friend and his friends we'll
fare has been upon his mind.

The Bible of Modern Science.

FROM the LOnQ0n freeman.
The preparation of the new Bible,
which is to be inspired by sweet reason
ableness, has not made much advance
yet. We lay before the readers the i'm
proved version of the first chapter of
Genesis.
l. There never was a beginning.
2. And Cosmos was homogeneous and
undiferentiated, and somehow or another
evolution began and molecules appeared.
8. And evolved molecule protaplasm,
and rhythmic thrills arose, and then there
was light.
4. And a spirit of envy was developed
and formed the plastic cell, whence arose
the primordial germ.
5. And the primordial germ became
protogene, and protogene somehow shaped
cocoon, then was the dawn of life.
g. And the herb yielding seed and the
fruit tree yielding fruit after its own
kind, whose seed is in itself, developed
according to its own fancy.
z. The cattle after his kind, the beast
of the earth after his kind, and every
creeping thing became evolved by hete-
rogenous segregation and concomitant
dissipation of motion.
s. So that by survival the httest there
evolved the simiads from the jelly fish,
and the simiads differentiated themselves
into the anthropomorphic primordial
types.
8. And in due time one lost his tail
and became a man, and behold he was
the most GINNING of all animals.
10. And in process of time, by natu-
raj selection and survival of the fittest,
Matthew Arnold, Herbert Spencer and
Charles Darwin appeared, and behold it
was very good.

MeaIy Bug-COccus Adonidum.

For the benefit of a much esteemed
and highly intelligent reader of these
columns, we devote few lines to the
mealy bug.
These bugs are indicated by Linnaeus
under the name of coccus, are of the or
der hemiptera and family of bark lice.
It is covered with a mealy powder, as the
cochineal of commerce. They resemble
small scales, are active, fiat and oval in
shape From time to time they change
their skin, when they cover themselves
with a white powdery, cOttOny substance.
Their color is reddish; they are very
numerous, and are attached to particular
plants, on the juices of which they feed,
often producing much mischief by the
flow and loss of sap which their pune
lures occasion, and give great trouble to
those what have the supervision of flow
ers. The males, having no apparent or
gans for sucking juice or eating any
sort or food, are somewhat in one respect
like some males of the human species
in Atlanta, no one knows how they sub
sist The females have a beak, which
they insert into plants in order to extract
the juices.
Some of these bugs live on the bark
of the stems of plants, some are formed
upon leaves and some ON roots. They
produce several brOOds a year. Aka
line washes are found most effectual in
checking their ravages.

Corn for Patching Hogs.

Hogs, in healthy condition and of
good breed, shOnld lay on a pound of
additional weight for every five and six
tenth pounds of merchantable corn fed
to them, and will do it on the average,
with reasonable care.
Fattening is accomplished most profit
ably as the cool weather of autumn ad-
vances, the animals having plenty of
water or mud to roll in if they choose.
with good shelter in which to lie. The
feeding place should be kept clean, and
corn, on the ear or shelled, fed night
and morning as much as they will eat
up clean, and slop or meal at noon, with
pure, clean water night and morning In
the early stages of fattening, hogs need
room for exercising, with wheat bran,
charcoal and sulphur occasionally, to
keep them in condition and increase the
size of bone and muscle, for when quite
heavy they need only rest.

ThackeraH and Boston Society.

When Thackeray went to Boston to
deliver his lectures he had made an
agreement with a friend, a Bostonian
whom he met in Germany, to go and
hear Theodore Parker, but was advised
by his newer acquaintance there not to
do so, as it would not be thought the
proper thing, and might possibly hurt
his lectures.
1t was in the winter, and one Sunday
morning (there had been rain and the
streets were glazed with ice) Thackeray
started with two friends, a gentleman
and his daughter, to church, they to go
to Music Hall and he to st. PauPs. It
was uncomfortable travelling, and of a
very different sort to which the great
way by taking the gentleman's arm and
pacing his other hand on the lady 8
shoulder.
When the entrance to Music Hall was
reached, his friends were about bidding
him good morning, but looking about
him he said: "Well, if I go on | shall
certainly fall and break my neck, SO I
must go in with you" 1t happened to
be Parker's sermon on Amos Lawrence.
Thackeray was immensely pleased, fas-
cinated.
The same evening a company was as
sembled at the house of a distinguished
literary gentleman of Boston. Thack-
cray was of the number, and could talk
of nothing but Theodore Parker; he was
all aglow with enthusiasm and admira-
ton from him. Presently the host re-
marking the blank countenances of his
guests, slowly said, "We-don't meet
Mr.. Parker. He moves in another
circle"
There was pause, and the great sati-
rist, Strengthening himself up, said:

company in Boston yet"

SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.
A Complaining Farmer

Circumstances sometimes determines 9
man to engage in farming, but chance
seldom, If ever, indemnifes him against
the loss he incurs, or satisfies him with
his business. Some men take their places
in nature with right royal mien, and
break through the bond of circumstances
as if it were but rope of sand. Such
men know their work and do it, but there
are few that are so ordained, and the
masses have only that which, rightly
employed, will give them cOntentment
and happiness. Sympathy for our bust
ness supposes an aptness for it, and it is
the source of much of the comfort allotted
to us here below. 1t exorts from labor
inefable joys not dreamed of by those
who stand aloof from duty, and with
cold hands and feet shiver their way
through life. The world is characters
tic, and God has assigned to each man
his role and the talents with which to
make himself felt, but if he assume to
play the part which belongs to another
by bent Of mind, he does but injustice to
himself. But while many are largely
the victims of circumstances and are
forced to contend with obstacles, may
find some relief in the fact that every
man has cerSain pliancy OF character, a
certain susceptibility to culture, which
makes him in great degree the creature
of adaptability, and although his path
shall not be without thorns, if, in over
coming his unfortunate surroundings he
grows strong in will and the power to do,
he has fulfilled his destiny, although in
round about way. Even if a farmer
does not like his business, if he but do
his duty he will succeed moral growth
will attend his labor; with each succeed
ing dawn and sunset fresh glories will
float athwart his soul, and his love of the
true, the beautiful and the good, will
develop with his strength.

Flowing.

There is not only necessity to have
a good, sharp pillow, but thorough work
should be done with it. When we say
thorough work, our meaning is, the soil
should be thoroughly pulverized, dis
solved into such fine particles that the
ground is fully and finely ground up.
The beauty and benefit of blowing is to
deepen the seed bed and bring the sub
soil into contact with the light and air
for chemical operations. One acre well
plowed is worth two badly done. In
doing this kind of work, stand like
a man square between the plow handles
with stiff arms, and do not permit the
pillow to swerve from its course. Lift a
little on your handles, with your eye
ahead of the horse, turning every inch.
And after using the pillow, do not hang
it on the fence, or in tree, to be ex-
posed to the weather, but clean it well
and put it away under cover.

There often comes before my mind
the picture of room spacious and luxu-
riously furnished, while the Hastings of
bright wood fire Pickering over shelves
of books lighted up their sombreness as
if some of the brilliant thoughts within
had escaped, and were illuminating
them. In this room in which I, a child
of fourteen, sat unnoticed upon foot
stool by the fire, with an open book in
my hand, there were standing an old
man and a young one.
The old man, and he looked then to
me much older than he was, had hair
long since gray and fast whitening. I
loved his face then, and have learned
since to love it still better, for it was a
very noble face. He was great in
character and reputation. He had won
fame and fortune. He stood foremost
in profession in which were skilful
and daring competitors.
Fur half an hour these two had been

If there is any animal on the farm of a
planter more neglected than dry COW,
we do not know what animal it is. When
a COW goes dry, she is pretty much neg
lected, almost suffered to feed and board
herself, and often turned out on the pub
lie to make a living. What injustice to
the COW, and what poor economy on the
part of the owner. Then, too, the result
of such treatment is diminished product of
milk, both in quantity and quality, when
she does come in. There is a large draft
on the system to sustain the calf while
the cow is carrying it, and to keep the
COW in good condition good feed is as i'm
pOrtant as when she is giving milk. An
animal in poor condition can not
d gest as much food as an animal in
good condition. If the cow is poor when
she comes in she will not digest enough
food to support the system, and at the
same time make large quantity of milk.

Why So 9

A correspondent writes asking why
farming is called a science and an art +?
As a science it teaches why it is neces-
sary to pillow; as an art it teaches how to
pillow. When we speak of the art of
planting, it has reference to the manner
of putting seed in the ground, the manner
of cultivating and wO, king the crop and
the care of it. The science of farming
teaches of what they are composed and
how crops and plows are built up from
the forces of the soil and the atmosphere.
The effect of the art is to wear out the
soil by constant cropping. Science is
employed to restore exhausted fields and
to give knowledge of the means to use
to accomplish it,

SUGGESTIONS.

The amount of manure made or secured
by the farmer has great deal to do with
the value and return from his crops to
be cultivated next season. The weather
still continues favorable for beginning the
work of preparation. The stock of fer
tilizing material should be increased as
much as possible. Farmers, by practice,
can see the value of fall blowing and
cultivating the soil, both as 10 the bene-
fetal effect upon tho land and the adj
vantage gained by the saving of time in
the hurry of spring work. Especially
should stiff clay soils be pIowed deep in
the fall, so that the frost may penetrate
them, exercising a beneficial influence
through aiding in the vigration Of the
fertilizing matter in the soil. Through
the action of the frost the fertile ele-
ments are rendered more available as
plant food. Almost every soil contains
material enough to render it fertile if
made soluble, and one of natures most
powerful agents in effecting this is frost.
One of the best aids to the important
work of the frost is iudicious blowing in
the fall before the ground becomes frozen.
