THE DAIRY.

A QUART of milk for every six inhabi-
tants is the rule by which the amount
of milk required to supply the popula-
ton of any city is calculated.
II oleomargarine. says the London
Lire Stock Journal, acts as a spur to
our dairymaids, causing them to i'm
prove the quality and condition of the
butter they make, it will fill a not alto
gether ignoble mission.
CoPPERAs has no odor itself, but alb
serbs and disinfects the atmosphere OF
a room rapidly. If every dairyman
would keep a little of it dissolved in
water in his milk-room, changing it
every day or two, it would repay the
cost.
WHEN cows gnaw fence-boards and
pick up filthy matters, they are troubled
with Indigestion, and this causes their
so-called depravedappetite. To remedy
this, give pint of linseed-oil, and re-
peat it the next day. Then give a
tablespoonful of salt daily until the COW
does not care for it. The trouble is
caused by pasture or feed that is de-
fcient in some nutritive quality, and a
few good feeds of wheat Or rye bran
might be useful for them. = Erchdnge.'
AN old dairyman says during the heat
of summer the COW should be MIXED
three times day, at regular intervals
about five o'clock in the morning,
one in the afternoon and nine in the
evening. The quantity of milk and
butter is considerably increased, and
fbn f,Ila litU it,,,,rnuo1 hu fbic ,Nraof;oo
The milk is injured by remaining in
the udder through the heat of the day,
and the cow is made uncomfortable,
which, of necessity, dininishes her use
fulness. When cows are MIXED but
twice day in hot weather the udder
becomes too much heated and feverish,
and the milk is in a similar condition =
the cream seems to be melted, the
milk soon becomes sour, the cream
does not rise well, and the butter is soft
and oily. These difficulties, almost
universally attending butter-making,
during, the summer months, are mostly
overcome by the practice of milking
three times a day, and the COW being
near at hand it is a small matter to
adopt this practice"
SouE cows will not, or rather cannot,
give rich, yellow butter, and some can.
1t is an attribute of the cows and not of
the feed given to them, Coioring the
butter is not Objectionable in the Slight
est degree if the coloring is pure. Car
rot juice is subject to decompositi II
and is, therefore, not SO good as the
preparations OF annotto. Annotto is Il
vegetable product, and is not only
harmless, but useful, as it adds to the
flavor as well as the appearance of the
butter If it were not that the pur-
chasers and consumers Of the butter in

knowing that this color is artificial, and
paying more for lit so colored, pro-
ducers would be under no obligation to
color it 1t is foolish or stupid to per-
sist i'll opposing an innocent popular
fashion or taste, more especially when
it hurts no one and pleases the multi
tude. But in this case the eaters of
butter are right and their critics are
wrong, for butter well colored is posi-
lively better for it. -Enchange.

Abstemiousness as a Cure.Au.

DIR. j. FRANK PERRY, prominent
Boston physician, in an interview re-
garding the Tanner fast, told a Herald
representative:
If person would find out lust what
his system Graves, and what his digest
i've organs can deal with proftably and
successfully, and take that food never in
excess of these conditions, then, the
medical fraternity would find a great
part OF their occupation gone. Nine
tenths OF all the pains and aches, the dis
orders, cardiac affections, melancholies,
irregularities call them or class them
as one may-result from overloaded,
overtaxed digestive organs. A POO
pound man, doing hard days work,
mental and physical, every day, will
find that, with bit of steak the size of
his two fingers,a single slice of toast, and
one cup OF coffee or tea at meal, 6 day
in and day out''-reference is now made
to quantity and not to kinds or qualities
he can do more work, keep up to the
maximum his strength and general
health, and actually increase constantly
in buoyancy of spirits and freedom of
bodily powers. The testimony is uni
versal and absolutely uniform wherever
this experiment is tried. OF course,
there must be remedy for defective
health, foundation of soundness upon
which to build the new structure of
daily life, but these will be more readily
attained in conjunction with the practice
of abstemiousness, and the reform itself
largely contains the conditions of its own
success.
Without doubt the body, habituated
to indulgences unlimited, will rebel for
time against the establishment of such
q reformation; but the struggle will be
short, and soon the matter will be de-
cided in perfectly natural way. Even
the method of eating will become revolu-
tionized. Nature has ordained that even
in the process of mastication of food
there is satisfaction of the natural appe-
tite, and one who is observing in this
respect may be surprised at the devel-
opments of his own experiment. A
half pound of beefsteak bolted in the
ordinary boarding house style-ssfamily
style' would be equally descriptive
is almost certain to be the precursor of
an ola podrida of meats and vegetables,
and condiments and pastry, the share
of which falling to one man ought to be
sufficient to victual neighborhood for
time-many of the articles ought new
er to be eaten at all by sensible, consci-
entious persons. But bit of nicely
broiled steak, eaten by person who
knows very well that, when that is dis
patched, his meal is ended, and also
means to make the most of the eating,
will be disposed of lin far different man
ner. 1t will be thoroughly and slowly
masticated, the eater excepting time''
with his table companions, and there
will be plenty of lively and pleasant con-
versation and by-play between the
mouthfuls. Once used to such meals
and such disposition of them, the sensi-
BILE man, who eats to live, will forget he
has stomach, or at least he will never
know anything of its existence through
those disagreeable reminders which tor

Col. SCOTS Model Barn.

AN american reporter, in his rambles
over the county, ran across"W oodburn, :"
the beautiful residence of Col. Thomas
A. Scott, near Darby, and would like to
say word about Mr.. Scott's new barn
and its many conveniences. The barn
was completed in March last and cost
nearly ten thousand dollars, and in
architectural style can not be excelled.
The carriage or coach room is at the ex-
treme eastern portion of the building,
and has capacity for nine coaches.
There are about eight vehicles in it,
which cost from $500 to 81, 800 apiece.
The coach house.h has six large windows
with shutters, and the ceiling has fancy
tissue paper, Z" fiy-catchers, nicely ar
ranged and cut in a tasty and beautiful
manner. The harness room has twelve
separate cases with glass fronts, and not
q particle of dust can get to any of the
harness. There is telephone commune
cation from the harness room to the
mansion house, from whence the coach
mans orders are received. A peculiar
beam with projecting crosses is used as
a holder, in cleaning and blackening.
The stable has accommodations for
twelve head of horses. At present it has
ten horses, two donkeys and one pony.
The ten upright posts, near the horses,
and forming part of the stalls, are
carefully covered with straw plaits, for
about four feet from the ground The
flooring of the entire first story of the
barn is of granite, but Immediately I'M
der the horses are wooden false floors,
laid upon the stone. These come out
and are cleaned twice week. Just at
the edge of the false floor is perforated
iron strip about foot wide and level
with the stone floor, which allows all
liquid to pass through. Just back of
this is straw plat about yard wide
and which is covered with loose straw,
forming bedding. Just back of this plat
pretty cocoanut, carpet is laid, and is
kept as clean as though it were parlor.
1t is put down at 8 a. m. and taken up
at 8 p. m. An iron watering trough is
placed against the wall, still further
back. The " fiy-catcher paper is neatly
arranged overhead in all the stable. In
front of the horses is space five feet
wide, and from here the horses are fed.
Spoutings come down from the various
bins in the second story. These are fit
ted with patent gauge attachment
which measures just four quarts of feed.
There is one large stall set apart for
sick horses. In the upper story found
a bathroom and water closet, nicely
lighted with gas; four bedrooms, ele-
gantly furnihsed, and numerous bins, adj
mirably arranged for the purposes in
tended. Joseph Staddon, formerly
coachman for Baron Rothschild, Lon
don, has charge of the stable. The
stable is built of brick and finished
throughout the interior with yellow pine,
oiled.-Me0liG (Pa.) american.

Management OF Dairy Stock.

In paper on this subject, recently
read by DR.. A. S. Heath before the New
York Farmers Club, many valuable
suggestions were made upon the subject
of feeding dairy stock.
Grass causes the most liberal secre-
tions of delicious milk. But this con-
dition of young, succulent and plentiful
grass cannot be relied upon as alone
sufficient food for the largest milk pro-
duction for more than sixty days of the
whole year. The rest of the three hun
dred and five days the cows must have
extra feed. This must consist of the
different kinds offodder for the different
seasons. In the early season, green'rve,
green oats, earlier and later roots, green
corn and hay. But green corn cannot be
prohtably fed till in early tassel, nor
should corn meal be fed in hot weather,
nor for the same reason should cotton
seed meal and linseed cake be fed I'M
til the cool or cold season, for less ami
mated heat is required to be supplied to
the COW.
Pure water and salt must be supplied
to mich cows ad libitum, as eighty
seven per cent. of the milk consists of
water, and where salt is sparin ely sup
piled the digestive powers of the COW
are enfeebled, and the milk is defective
in keeping quality, and probably, also,
in quantity and quality. es
Care, kindness, quiet, moderate ex-
ercise, regular and judicious feeding
are all important factors in milk supply
The largest percentage of flavor in
nhancn and ht,t &c f1rnl
grasses, but in very young fodder-corn
these essential ualities-caseine, but.
ter, sugar and aroma are deficient,
but improve up to the time of early
Towering, when the sweet corn fodder
is at its best, and should be fed with
shorts or bran sprnkled over the cut
and wilted fodder.
Green oats is good soiling crop, and
bran is an admirable food in slop. 1t
produces large quantity of milk, and
it can be fed with safety in the hottest
weather. Meal may be added to bran
as the weather becomes cooler.
Milk removes much phosphate of
lime, and the pastures should be sown
with ground bones OF rock phosphate of
lime. Wool removes sulphur, and
therefore Sheep pastures are improved
by plaster or sulphate of lime. Ashes
and salt are of the highest value to
pastures. But when the pastures have
too far failed, it is better economy to
pillow them up as fast as possible, and
SOW them to pasture grasses and seed
to oats, to shade the young shoots and
tender roots. Meadows may be past
ured in the dry season after the crop
has been removed, but never in the
early spring or late fall. The air sup
plies most of the organic matter, and
thus helps to keep the land good when
we sell off part of the products, which
are part of the farm or soil itself.
Good milk requires good sound food,
and a large yield of milk requires a
large supply of good sound food.
Warm and airy stables, great cleanli-
ness with the animal and her products,
judicious feeding of cows, and feeding
of pastures, are the indispensable means
to supply milk in quality, quantity, and
soundness capable of resisting decay.
EVERY person in America writes an
average of twenty letters per year.

THE SOCIALIST FNIGR1NTS.

IF the expatriate1 Socialists who arrived
here recently from Hamburg are ut all we'll
informed about the condition of affairs in thls
country. they will not make the mistake of sup
posing that because they have been cordially re-
ceved b. a num0er of the German residents of
Newly 0rk there is IN opening here for the prop
agation OF their peculiar doctrines great
deal of sympathy is felt in tins country for
their movement in Germany, not because its
scheme for revoutionzing society is approved,
but because it is courageous protest against
the iron system OF government by military force
which is REFRESHING the energies of the German
people and ruthlessly destroying rights which
are here regarded as the secure results of CEN
turtles of progress in the path of civilization.
We arc not accustomed in America to seeing
newspapers suppressed for advocating ideas
antagonistlc to those of the men who run the
Government, or to seeing good citizens taken
to jail for making gIimace at the picture of
Cabinet Minister in u shop window. These
things occurring III Germany naturally excite
admiration for the men who denounce and re-
sist them, and we do not inquire very closely
about the kind of system such men purpose to
set up if they can Oyerurn the existing form
of authority.
Our Socialist guests will fall into a grave
error, however. if they imagine there is a
call for them 10 continue on American soil the
agitation they have bravely begun in the
Ola World. Government in this Republic is
not represJive force to curb the intelligence
and limit the activities of the individual. Ii is
the product of the collective will of the people,
and works for the common benefit. Its form
and administration may not come up to the
ideal standard of philosophers, but it S a pretty
good institution, and the American people are
content with it. rhe Socialist rxiles will do
well to spend year or two getting familiar
with It's structure, history and operations be-
fore they begin to denounce it, as some of
their brethren who have preceded them have
done. This IS free country, and they can
print or declaIm whatever theories they NAV
entertain if they can pay printer oI hire n
hall but they will show good sense if they drop
their peculiar notions about upsettng society
and modestly fall into the ranks of the great
army of industrious independent self govern
ing American citizens. They cannot teach the
public Oh this side Of the Atlantic any valuable
lessons about labor. politics or government.
They may reasonably suppose that the people

ing the last twenty-five years has been the
change of direction in political power. The
provinces have been steadily losing power, and
the Pekin Cabinet has been strengthening itself
at their expense. The changes in the CONNER
cial policy and customs regulations have been
effected by centralized Government when
was once nervelcss but is now vrile and IS
becoming stronger year by year. This tendency
toward Capitalization is promoted by foreign
influence, and IA q natural consequence the bar
riers by which the ancient monarchy has been
shut in arc gradually disappearing. This is, in
the most comprehensive sense. the real signiii-

SOMETHING Els TO INVESTIGATE

A
| Speaking of the Congress which is presently
to blazr up briefly, flicker a little and drop into
the socket with an ncoberent splut!er it
occurs to us that, it it will not throw itself upon
the investigation of the Morey forgery by which
that poor innocent man. Mr.. Barnum, was i'm
posed upon, there is another direction in which
it can exercise its talent for Investigations to
an excellent purpose. Ii is in connection with a
subject in which the party press has just been
awakened tn a profound interest to wit Civil
Service Reform The belief seems to be GEN
eTal among Democrats that the cause of Han
cock and Change, like that Of Tilden and
Reform which preceded it, was tremendously
damaged by the opposition of the Office holding
class who, either by assessments or voluntary
contributions, raised vast sums Of money TO as
sst in continuing the Republican party in power
and themselves in Office. Ii is thought that IL
this factor could be eliminated from Presiden-
tial contest the Democrats would stand much
better chance OF winning. To this end the re.
form OF the service is aRitatcd, and one pro
posed plan is to first divide the Offices fairly
between the two parties. and then make the
tenure permanent, or forbid removals except for
cause. The first question that arises as to this
plan is whether the removal of the principal in
