TEACHING THE GIRLS TO CoOK.-Some
of those persons who have growled the
loudest about the bad cookery in this
country, are the first to say that the sub
ject is being rather overdone. We don't
think so. The agitation has started IL
healthful reform. and it should be kept up
until no girls education is thought to be
complete unless it includes knowledge of
the principles and practice Of cookery
not necessary for use, but as II part of the
equipment necessary to an adequate dis
charge of the duties that fail to the lot of
so great a proportion of women. Miss
Parloa's plan of schools of cookery is an
excellent one; but the domestic editor of
the Tribune touches an important phase of
the subject in urging the training OF girls
at home, while young,-an excellent plan,
when the mother is competent. The
writer says: at has always seemed to
us that the best time to confirm a girl in
the habit of cooking and habits of general
housekeeping is during the years occupied
by her Transition from girhood TO woman
hood. All teachers of girls know of how
little comparative account those years are
in the school room. But in Homework
they may be turned to the greatest account.
There is variety in the manifold tasks of
the housekeeper that furnishes just the
change required for the growing girl, and
habits formed at this time of life are apt
to be permanent. They may by long
disuse seem lost, but upon occasion they
will come back fresh and strong rs ever.
When once girl has learned how to
perform all the offices necessary for her
own physical health and comfort and for
that of the household of which she is Il
member she has n trade upon which she
can depend for II living, for while the
world stands there must always be cooks,
chambermaidS. laundresses, and seam
stresses, and she holds in her own capabil-
tiles the guarantee of food and shelter.
There are connected with a large num-
Der of literary institutions facilities for
teaching girls and young women all house
hold accomplishments, and in our cities
and villages. cooking schools are being
established. A literary woman who has
not written II cook book is becoming Il
curiosity, and it is fashionable for women
in the highest circles to be as accom-, pli1h-
ed in the culinary art as in the musical art
or the arts of hospitality. ~ Bellows F,ttfs

Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen
The little time that | shall occupy on
the occasion will not be spent in discussing
the merits of the different breeds of cat
tie and sheep, or the value of Sanford
corn; not that in any way ignore their
Importance, but in inquiring why men OF
the same natural ability vary so much in
their social standing in society, so much in
the amount of pay received for given
time of laborp
The fact that all men were once bows,
and that in their boyhood no man could
tell their future until education and priv.
lege developed the man, we cannot deny.
There are two kinds of education-onc OF
the head and the ether of the hands. The
first can be acquired without the other
you can cultivate Il mans brain until he
becomes an intellectual giant, if you
please; and yet, he may he as dependent
as child for food and shelter, and if all
men were thus educated we should be n
helpless race.
The education of the hands can never
be acquired without thought, without
mental culture, without brain work.
No man can have too much of what we
call book knowledge, but all men cannot
live by book knowledge alone. All men
cannot receive a college education; they
could not be spared from The industrial
pursuits of life for the requisite amount of
time, if all had the means, Neither is it
necessary, for in civilized society we need
as many kinds of education as there are
kinds of occupation. We need the minis
ter, the lawyer, the doctor, the teacher,
the mechanic, the merchant, the farmer,
the laborer,-all are equally useful men,
bers of society, consequently all are alike
honorable, and if all alike understand their
calling or business. each is alike educated,
not in quality but in quantity; for he that
can make a boot is as well educated as he
that can read Latin; he that can shoe a
horse, rs he that can plead at law; the
lady that can cook a dinner. as she that
can play an organ. And it often takes
more lessons to learn the cooking than it
does to learn the music All these persons
may be professors in their several depart.
ments of business, each being alike de-
pendent in degree upon the others, and
all should stand upon the same social level
and their pay should be nearer alike than
VIC uuu iL'
But this is an agricultural meeting, and
we are supposed to talk about the farm, or
at least the farmer. If we inquire after
the importance or usefulness of the several
occupations of men in civilized society,
the farmer always stands first, for without
agriculture civilized society can never
prosper, for agriculture is the arm that
feeds the world, that furnishes the material
for the commerce of nations; railroads
are built to move the produce of the farm.
There was a time when the farmer was, by
some people. associated with the idea Of
an illterate. unconth, awkward lower
strata of society; a part OF which is true,
for the farmer is the foundation on which

the rafters, the boards and the shingles in
the building of civilization. All other oc.
equations are useful in this building OF So
ciety, as ornaments, as teachers and
guides, lust as necessary as paint and wall
paper in our dwellings. or pictures in the
parlor, which cannot exist without the
building. No more can society without
agriculture. The pillow is the main spoke
in the wheel of civilization, and should be
introduced to the Indian.
Daniel Webster once said that no man
was so high as to be independent Of agri-
riculture, or none so low as not to be affect
ed by its prosperity or decline.
That the farmer as rule is uneducated
is not always true. They are not wordy
like the college graduates, but fruitful in
ideas which they can communicate as &C.
casion requires in style altogether unlike
the popular orator, who, with multiplici'
ty of words, so covers up the idea he
would convey that it is lost in the rich and
gorgeous drapery of eloquence.
There was once a rule in ancient Lap
land that the Young man was not of age.
that he could not assume the responsible
position of head of family, until single
handed and alone he had killed a white
bear. When that feat was performed he
had graduated-he could marry. He, nc

ance in the graduating class of Harvard
or Williams, but not whit more awkward
than would such graduates on the ice fields
of Lapland with spear and knife and Il
white bear for an audience. Each was
educated for his position in life.
Then let us from this day on never say
that a man is uneducated until we know
that from his acquaintance with the bool
of nature he has not digested more o.
truth than we ever read.
The cultivation of the earth is the mos
important labor of men; man may be civ
ilized in some degree without grea
progress in manufacture, and with littl'
commerce with his distant neighbor, bu
without tillage of the earth he is, in al
countries, savage.
Farmers. therefore, are the pioneers o

DRINKS FOR DAIRY Cows,-If you de-
sire to get large yield Of rich milk give
your cows, every day, water slightly warm
and slightly sailed, in which bran has
been stirred at the rate Of one quart TO
two gallons of water. You will find, if
you have not tried this daily practice, that
your cows will give twenty-five per cent
more milk Immediately, under the effects
of it. and she will become so attached to
the diet as to refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty. But this mess she
will drink almost anytime. The amount
of this drink necessary is an ordinary
water pail full at time, morning, noon

How TO FEED COARSE FoDDER.-Every
farmer has more or less of coal So fodder
such rs straw, corn stalks. meadow hay,
and the like, which he is sometimes puz-
zed to know how to dispose of to advant-
age. If fed to cows they soon shrink in
milk and fall ont of condition, and it seems
hardly profitable TO dispose of it in that
way. If fed TO young stock. they will Just
make out to live, and possibly hold tEeir
own, but usually they fall off in flesh and
it seems doubtful economy to feed them in
this way. If fed TO sheep they scarcely
make out to exist under such treatment.
some perhaps dying and others falling out
of condition to such an extent as to greatly,
for the season injure their usefulness and
protitableness. In fact, if fed 10 any kind
of farm stock. there are decided disad-
vantages attending the practice and the
question how to best dispose of the
coarse fodder on the farm, is quite fire.

There are ways however, we think, in

The straw and the corn fodder have had
the grain removed, are left in an incon
plete condition for food, and when fed
should have the deficiency supplied. This
can be done to the best advantage by
adding cotton seed meal to the straw and
stalks in this way supplying the deficiency
in nllro9enous and fatty elements. The
cotton seed meal is very rich in ni,roge-
nous and fatty elements, and offer II g
most economical means of making the

led daily to the young stock, decided

it would probably have to be mixed
with bran or corn meal to induce the
animals to eat it but they will soon relish

Some farmers may think that they can
not afford to buy cotton seed meal to feed
with their course fodder, but if they will
try it one season, they will be likely to
conclude that they cannot afford to get
along without buying it. The ga on the
