We received the following letter

luded to as having appeared ii idaho.
But, referring to Il correspondence
from "Tcmus," Of Grangeviiie, pu'

lect of having eaten the dog, IL was
surprised that be should voinit up such

A Contrast.
BY MORO.

In this world, where all are human,
What means the gaudy show
Which some people seek to muster
When to ball or church they go:
Do they think that they are better
Than are those Of less parade,
Or that in the charm of fashion
They give God serenade?
Some folks are blest with riches,
If blessing it can be;
While some, not robed in jewels,
Are clad with brains see.
Now of the two which choose you
The fading hue of gold,
Or the priceless gems of wisdom
Which eternal wealth unfold?
Madam rumor quotes wedding,
Which will soon enthuse the town,
And the rich are All ambitious
For the finest coat and gown.
How much better hearts united
In the simple bonds of love,
And the sacred seal Of union
Softly whispered from above.
The wealthy church is warning
In jealousy and strife;
The house OF God is peopled
From the humber walks of life.
In one the christian standard
Is measured by the pew;
The other is the test of faith
And amount of good you do.
Neighbor A has coach and coachman;
Neighbor B these can't afford.
AS table is a banquet;
BIS not sumptuous b ard.
A counts his many thousands much
And character as naught;
BIS pride is not in worldly goods,
But his honor cant be boaght.
Call not this an erring picture,
1t is true the wide world DER,
And conveys its moral lesson
To the rich - well as poor.
Be cheerful frankie honest,
Not selling soul for peif;
Be gracious to your fellows,
And, above all, be yourself

THE DAIRY.

The Aylesbury (England) Dairy Com
pany offer prizes to farmers whose milk
supply stands highest in quality be-
tween October and March 81, the tests
to be made at the company's laborato-
ry, Bayswater, by skilled chemist,
whose whole time, the British Medical
Journal says, "will be given to the
study of the conditions under which
the best qualities of milk are produced,
and the variations noticeable at the
different seasons of the year in relation
to the food made use of and to the other
scientific conditions involved in the
production of milk, cream and but
ter"
BARLEY is an excellent food for COWS,
producing good and rich milk. 1t can
be mixed with shorts in equal proper
tons. But it will pay you better to
sell the barley and buy corn, as barley
brings more for forty-live pounds than
corn does for sixty pounds in the mar
ket. A COW may have four pounds of
corn or barley meal and four pounds of
shorts daily; if she is a good mixer
she will pay better for this than for
half rs much. But as no one can say
what effect the feed will have on any
particular COW, it is well to try differ
ent quantities, beginning at two quarts
at feed, aud varying up or down until
the capacity of each COW is known.
GOOD cheese is always close grained,
cuts smooth, but has q slight regular
roughness of surface, yields TO the
pressure of the finger, breaks easily,
but does not crumble, has a smooth,
elastic rind, breaks down mellow and
rich, but with no harsh feeling be-
tween the thumb and the finger, dis
solves readily in the mouth, but has
no strong or rank flavor, and leaves a
relishable taste. Most people like
such cheese, but seldom getting it.,
they fancy that cheese has for them nc
special relish. If only such cheese
were thrown on the market the home
consumption would double in n year,
and in a few years it would be tenfold
what it now is. 1t is a great mistake
to keep home consumers feeding upon
the inferior grades of cheese, and it is
a greater mistake TO make cheese OF
oleomargarine, or in any way increase
the amount of the inferior grades.
PROF. SHELDON believes that on al
most any land, of whatever kind ol
quality, it will pay man to give grain
to his cows-that is, the cows viii be
all the better for little dry concen
trated food along with the bulky sue
culent grass; they will be the healthier
and stronger, and so will give more
and richer milk. And the more grair
or cake man uses, within limits, the
more cows he may keep, and the richer
his land may become year by year
There is, in fact, no better way of i'm
proving grass land than by consuming
cake upon it. 1t may be true tina
nothing is equal to grass of good quail
ity for producing milk; but even of
good thing it is possible to have to-
much, and change of food-even {
change of pasture-gives, as every in
telligent dairy-farmer knows, a lillil
which is found in the milk-pail Tr.
it. Prof. Sheldon says he can recon
mend it.

Infected Water.

On the 10Th of January, 1879, there
was sudden outbreak of typhoid fever
at Caterham, Eng, and on the Goth a
similar outbreak at Redhill, a town
eight miles distant. There were forty
nine cases of this fever within fort
night; and by the end of February, in
both places there were three hundred
and five, of which fourteen were fatal.
The patients were scattered over a wide
area, and were confined to no particular
class. The localities had previously
been remarkably free from disease. The
Government Board of Health instituted
a thorough investigation into the cause
of this outbreak. All ordinary causes
sewage, milk-supply and personal in
fection, etc.-had to be set aside, since,
in all these particulars, the families
had little in common. 1t was, however,
at length found that most of the persons
affected had their er-supply from
the mains of the Caterham Water
works; that others who were attacked
spent the days at the houses where this
water was used, and drank of it; that
at the Caterham Lunatic Asylum, with
two thousand inmates, and at the
Caterham Barracks, with five hundred
soldiers, both of which had different
water supply, not case occurred; nor
a case at Reigate, which belongs to the
same sanitary district with Redhill, but
is supplied with water from a different
source. 1t was plain that the Caterham
Water-works were somehow the cause
of the epidemic. But that it should be
so, was a mystery. At length it was
found that one of the workmen en-
ployed in establishing an underground
connection between the existing wells
and new bore, had been suffering
from a mild form of enteric (typhoid)
fever. The eXcrements of this patient
had been allowed to pass into the water,
and were thence distributed through the
company's water-system.
The facts here given indicate that the
cause of the many cases OF typhoid fever
in the towns mentioned, was the poison
germs in the water that had been pol
luted by this workman. They convey q
lesson to every householder, and to ev,
cry person who has the care of typhoid
patient YOUTHS Companion.

Advantages Of Live Stock.

Too many farmers on fair sized farms
do not pay enough attention to live
stock. Too many farmers continue to
grow grain and grass for sale, year after
year, without returning anything to the
soil in the form of plant food. They
simply keep enough stock to do the
work. / think this is q very iniudicious
course in farming, and those who prac-
tice it will find, sooner or later, that
they can't make it pay.
One of the best modes of manuring
land is to pasture it. On many farms
there is considerable waste land that
cannot be cultivated proftably, but can
be used to good advantage for pasture.
1t is easier and less expensive to feed
the grain and hay on the farm and then
ship it off in the form of meat than it is
to ship the bulky grain and we have the
manure left on the farm. In commu-
nifty where stock is raised and fed you
will find higher plane of intelligence
among the people. The farms will be
better improved and be worth more
than in country where no attention is
given to stock.
With good care any ordinary farmer
can raise stock at fair profit, all ami
mails should be well cared for and kept
in thriving condition till they are
ready for market. There is great loss
in getting animals fat in the fall and
then starving them through the winter,
for it will take them half the summer
to gain what they have lost. Twas i'm
pressed with the sound sense of an ar
ticle the other day on wintering calves.
In closing the writer says: 81 always
aim to have them plump and fat when
l turn them onto grass and then it is
just fun to see them kick up their heels
and grow. Cor. Prairie Farmer.

Transplanting.

Dealers in plants, remarks the New
England Times, will hear many COM
plants this year from customers, fail
ure and will be asked to duplicate orders,
but in most cases the fault is with the
buyer rather than the seller. Plants
cannot live and grow in a soil that is as
dry as dust and little sprinkling of
the surface now and then is often worse
for the plants than no watering what
ever. 1t should be remembered in set
ting plants, that they must take moisture
chiefly, if not wholly, through their
roots, and in order to do this, the earth
must be moist down where the roots
are. 1t must also be remembered that
water cannot rise from the subsoil and
moisten the upper portion, unless the
latter is compact enough to carry the
moisture from particle to particle by
capillary attraction. A plant set in a
very dry, light soil, should, at the time
of setting, have its roots first wet so
that the dry dirt will adhere closely to
every portion of root surface. Then,
after pressing the soil firmly around the
plant, water enough should be poured
on to wet down the moist soil. Then
if the surface is covered by dry dirt,
there will be perfect connection"
as the telephone operators and light
ning-rod men express it, between the
roots and the moist earth, while ditfu-
sion of moisture by evaporation will be
prevented to a considerable degree by
the dry earth, which acts as mulch
on the surface.
1t is not the quart of water one ap
plies to newly-set plant alone that
saves it, but it is the throughfare
which such quart of water establishe:
through the soil from the lower mois
strata upward and through which the
moisture travels on its way to the sur
face, and yielding portion to the root!
that are met in its course. Skillfu
gardeners will transplant at almost any
season of the year but then they under
stand the laws of plant growth and sur
round it with the conditions necessary
to success.

A Modern Cinderella.

BOSTON COurier'S Newport letter;
"Last year, when the French vessel Wis
tied these waters, one of the officers,
strolling into Seabury's shoe store, was
struck with faded satin boot, of tiny
dimensions, which lay with its wooden
overshoe in a collection of international
pedalogy in an interesting case. He
took up the boot, which he was told
figured at a ball given here in honor of
Lafayette, one hundred years ago, and
he laughingly declared to a companion
that he would certainly try TO find in
this old town modern Cinderella
who could wear that little old satin boot.
If he succeeded or MOTIVE know not, but
this we do know, that little Irish foot
with an American instep attracted the
eye of a young Lieutenant who came
here with the Bellerophon. After three
days OF counting at the feet of his inamo-
rata, the gallant tar was obliged TO sail
away with his ship. This week, in Paris,
they will stand up together, and Miss
Theodosia Parnell will become Mrs. 81.

MIDSUMMER.

WHITE as n blossom Is the kerchief quaint,
over her sumptuous shoulders lightly laid /;
Fairer than any picture men could paint,
In the cool orchards fragrant light and
shade
She stands and waits; sofne pensivc dream
enfolds
Usr beauty sweet, and bows her radiant
head;
The delicate pale roses that she holds
Seem to have borrowed OF her cheek their
red
She waits, like some superb but dropping
flower,
To feel the touch of morning and the sun,
And DER her head the glowing petals shower,
And to her feet the shifting sunbeams run.
follow to her feet their pathway fine,
And while my voice the charmed silence
breaks,
What startled splendors from her deep eyes
shinel
Into what glory my rich flower awakesl
