Farmers Daughters.

Here is fact that may interest the
young girls who live in farm-houses.
The London Pal Null Gazette says:
England can no longer furnish her own
butter. The cheaper kinds come from
America, for Americans, even with
their rich pastures and improved
stock of COWS cannot make the
best grade. The high-priced grades
come to Southampton from Nor
mandy and Brittany. And why is
good butter not made in England? Be-
cause the dairy-maid with her pail is a
thing of poetry and the past. Because
farmers wives and daughters now think
dairy-work degradation"
The Gazette proceeds to state the enor-
nous income which dairy farming
carried on by women has brought to
France; the daughter of a dairy farmer
often receiving a dover of twenty
thousand dollars on her wedding day.
work, skill and management.
We might go on with the inquiry:
Why cannot Americans make the best
grade of butter? Because the business
has gone out of the hands of the farm
er's wife and daughter, and is done by
machinery. Near Philadelphia, in the
rich hill-farms, there are few old Quaker
danes and their daughters who are not
ashamed of this old-time craft; whose
yellow fragrant pats of butter, wrap
ped in COOL leaves, and packed in tubs
delicately clean, are known all over the
country and command 81 or $3.50 per
pound in any city market.>
'.But," say the farmers, 'sare our
daughters, who have received modern
education, to go back to the old drudgery
of their grandmothers?'
We question whether the modern ed
ucation has not made them despise too
much the old drudgeryp In the majority
of cases, these daughters are still COM
PEELED to work for their living. They
crowd into the cities, as poor artists,
china decorators, clerks, shop-girls. or
they besiege editors with mawkish
verses. In this sighted dairy-work is
a paying business which belongs to
women, and which, could they master
it, would yield them as certain an in
come as it does the Breton or Norman
girl. 1t is business which requires
intelligence, scrupulous cleanliness and
delicacy of manipulation. A roll of
clover-scented butter of the best grade
is a higher work of art than a bad picture
or are trashy verses. Our girls who are
looking from their country homes. pin
Ing for a career, should dig under their
own hearth-stone to find if the pet Of
gold be not waiting for them there

Economy on the Farm.

The period of low prices through
which farmers have passed during the
past few years have taught many of US
valuable lessons in economy. 1t has
shown us more clearly than we have
ever seen before the importance of
practicing careful economy in all the
affairs of life. We mention a few points
where some farmers may practice
greater economy in their management
and thereby save what otherwise might
suffer loss or go to waste altogether.
One of the most common wastes about
farm is in relation to the various
homemade farm fertilizers. Badly
constructed and improperly-mana
barnyards are source of great waste
to fertilizers on some farms. Manure
until they have become seriously inJur-
ed by being ..fire fanged'' are quite
common. Great waste in fertilizing
materials may be traced to our pig pens
and hen roots from which might be
gathered with the right care and man.
agement large quantities of valuable
manure that would cause our fields to
yield better crops and hence more
profit. A compost heap should be made
in the vicinity of every house and gar
den. 1t should consist of a large box,
holding fifty or more bushels, made with
out a bottom. This box should be a
receptacle for grass and weeds taken
from garden and all of the large class
of substances which are usually thrown
from back doors and door yards. In
this way a good load of valuable ma
nure may be collected each year which
would otherwise be worse than wasted,
for when kitchen Stops, etc. are thrown
carelessly about they must needs pol
lutte the air with noxious odors and
cause much unpleasantness.-

Keeping Celery.

From time to time we have printed
our mode and the modes of others for
keeping and blanching celery through
the winter. We have covered it care
fully in the rows in which it grew, and
found it to answer very well, when ap-
piled to that which is intended to be first
used. We have found it to answer bet
ter to take it up and set in rows close
together. leaving only space enough to
prevent the plants from touching, and
packing the earth firmly around them.
leaving only an inch or two of the tops
sticking out, then covering either with
boards, placed so that the water cannot
penetrate, or with corn5talks thickly
bent over and fastened. Drains should
be dug around the celery to carry off
the water. We have kept it in this way
until May and well-blanched.
1t is well known that stalks of celery
stood in spring water under a shed,
where it is not likely to be frozen, will
become perfectly white and tender.
But it is only few persons who can
have the spring water at hand for this
use.
We have known celery to be perfect
ly blanched and preserved by packing
the roots in wet earth and keeping
them in q cellar. Large boxes were
obtained and a few inches thick of
earth placed on the bottom and made
as wet as possible. The plants were
then packed upright. side by side as
close as they could stand, until the
boxes were full. The upper leaves
were of course exposed, and attempt
ing to grow a little by the encourage
ment given to the roots by the wet
earth. caused growth enough to blanch
the whole. There is an advantage in
this over keeping it in the cellar. as
many do, where it retains its greenness
all winter, and is scarcely fit to eat. But
we prefer the outdoor plan, when it is
we'll done.-Gernaantoa Telegraph.

The tradition that Cologne Cathe-
dral would never be finished took its rise
as follows: A young architect in de-
spair at the refusal of his plans by Arch
bishop Conrad went to the bank of the
Rhine meditating suicide, when there
appeared the devil himself, who offered
him, in exchange for his soul, the plan
of the Cathedral as it stands to-day.
The young man demanded twenty-four
hours for reflection, and submitted the
matter to his confessor, who suggested
that on the morrow, when Satan showed
him again the design, he should seize it
with his left hand, and drawing rapidly
a relic of St. Ursula from under his robe
with his right, strike the evil spirit with
it on the brow. This was done. Satan
said: "That's cunning trick of the
Church, but the design which you seize
shall never be finished, and your name
shall remain unknown AS he spoke,
he snatched away the upper part of the
design. The young architect died of
modification without reconstructing the
plan. For years events seemed to bear
out the old legend.
