MOnOtOnOus Lives Of Farmers Wives.

1t is said by DR.. Maudsley that statis-
tics show that a larger per cent. of
farmers wives become insane than
any other class Of women. The cause
is not, as might naturally be supposed,
the hard work they are obliged to per-
form, but the monotony of their lives.
Many woman who is in comfortable
house, surrounded by highly cultivated
land, is almost an automaton so far as
the acts of her daily life are concerned.
Her life was mapped out for her COM
pletely on the day she entered the
farm house bride, with the exception
of u:h slight events as the birth and
pos Id y the death of children. While
her husband goes about the country to
transact business she stays at home, re-
freshing herself by piecing a bed quilt
When he sits down at evening to enjoy
his pipe, and his agricultural paper, to
which perhaps he has contributed some
article on sheep husbandry, or the most
approved method of onion raising, she
sits by his side, busy with her knitting
work, or with carpet-rag cutting, Won
dering meanwhile how she will be able
to get money enough to buy the
warp. He carries out the old patri-
archal idea; he is the head of the
house; he determines how the money
saved during the year should be
invested; he selects the pew in
the church; he subscribes to relieve suf-
ferers by flood and fire. She, like a
new and uncertain player at euchre,
simply passes. 1t would be an unwar-
rantably sweeping assertion to say that
this is true of all farm lives. Many a
farmers house is as nearly the true and
ideal home as any in the land. but it is
tue too often. If man has married
a wife who has no opinions of her own,
he ought to seek to develop some la
tent mind force in her. Let him, as the
wiser half, suggest to her that she try
to retain health of mind with health of
body by taking active interest in some-
|. thing. Where the materials for the
study of, let us say, botany lie before
her all the time, what an excellent
thing it would be for her to study that.
This is only one illustration. Too many
women who begin to have some leisure
on the shady side of forty think they
are too old to learn, or to be-
gin to do things they, once as
pred to do. They believe they have
lost the capacity for mental labor, when
the reverse is true. There is another
aspect OF this subject that women would
do well to think of, and that is that
nothing will SO etfectually preserve
good looks and the spirit and strength
of youth and early womanhood as to be
filled with intense and hearty interest
in the best things of this life.-Cor. N.
Y. Post.

THE DAIRY.

"A COW becomes impatient under the
hands of a slow mixer and holds up her
milk. The richest part is the strip
pings, and COW MIXED quietly and
quickly will give more and richer milk.
The quantity of foreign cheese inn
ported into Great Britain has doubled
since 1870, and is now said to be about
27S, $40, 600 pounds per annum. This
lis greater than has been generally sup
posed, and serves TO explain why the
demand for American cheese has con-
stantly increased, to the establishment
of many of our dairymen and produce
dealers. f8 ItE
+; The Boston CultiUator truly says:
Whoever places much dependence on
the strainer for securing clean milk will
never make gilt edge butter. Allowing
dirt to get into the milk and then de-
pending on the strainer to get it out is
"a poor apology for cleanliness. More
or less of the dirta especially everything
of soluble nature, and some that is
not will find its way through the meshes
of the strainer.
During the Indictment season warm,
light, well ventilated stables should be
provided, but the former conditions
should not be secured at the expense
of the latter. so long as both can be
easily obtained. Tight, smooth and
clean managers are also essential to per-
feet success, and no system of butter
making is complete which does not pro-
vide at regular intervals full supply
of clean water for the stock. Feed at
regular hours, in small quantities, Civ
ing variety of food each day, rather
than rotation extending over several
days.
To Remove Warts from Cow s
Udder.-Apply caustic potash two OF
three times week, and it will soon dis
appear, or, tie silk thread tightly
around the base so as nearly to cut into
it and wholly stop the circulation. and
it will come off in a few days. When
the wart is broad and fiat or crowded
by others this may be impracticable, in
which case it may be removed by cut
ting it off and touching the cut with a
hot iron to stop the flow of blood; OF
by applying very strong pyroligneous
acid to the wound. Lunar caustic in 8
strong solution is also recommended.
AS the operation is painful, only small
number of the warts-if there are many
should be treated at time. -Rsrd

Foul Cistern Water.

Our cistern is about six feet deep
and the same in breadth. Formerly
the water became so unpleasant that
we were obliged to pump it out and
clean up thrice from the last of March
to November. In order to obviate this
we first resorted to putting half a
bushel of charcoal Jumps in the cistern.
This enabled us to get along with only
two cleanings during the season. We
then added two bushels of pure white
sand to the charcoal, which rendered
the necessity. of cleaning still more
seldom. But as the cistern had tight
wooden cover over it, we thought it
might be still better for the water if it
could be well aired. To effect this we
cut hole six inches square in the
cover, inserted wooden ventilator in
to this, on the top of which wire gauze
was fastened, so as to keep out flies
and all else. The fresh air now enter
ing the waste pipe passes over the water
of the cistern and out through
this ventilator, and thus keeps up a
good circulation, and prevents its be.
coming foul there. A wire screen is
fastened over the outside end of the
waste-pipe to prevent insects or any
thing else getting into the cistern
through it. The water now is kept
free from any unpleasant smell; still
the cistern ought to DO pumped and
cleaned out annually, as substances of
various kinds are carried into it by the
pipes from the eaves-troughs. The roofs
of buildings will gather these not
withstandinO the best of care, Screens
placed over the tops of the Leaders will
obviate this pretty well, however,

TO Keep Tires on Wheels.

A practical man writes on this sub
ject; II ironed wagon some years
ago for my own use, and before putting
on the tires, l filled the felloes with
linseed oil, and the tires have worn out
and were never loose. also ironed a
buggy for my own use, seven years ago,
and the tires are as tight as when put
on. My method of filling the felloes is
as follows: | use a long cast-iron
heater made for the purpose. The oil
is brought to boiling heat, and the
wheel is placed on stick so as to hang
in the oil. An hour is sufficient for a
common sized felloe, of which the tim
Der should be dry, as green wood will
not take oil. Care should be taken
that the oil does net get hotter than the
boiling heat, else the wood might be
set on fire and burnt. Timber filled
with oil is not susceptible to water and
is much more durable. l was amused
some years ago when / told a black
smith how to keep the tires tight, by
his telling me that it was q profitable
business to tighten tires; and the
wagon-maker will also say that it is 8
profitable business to him to repair
wheels; but what will the farmer, who
helps to support the wheelwright and
smith, sayp '"

A Nocturn., Ranbls and What Came OFF,

A Nocturnal Kamble and What Came oft
Some genius-we suspect him to belong to
the jovial order of1Aumanity-has said:
"The day to drone and dream, the night to
learn and ramble." We do not propose to
dispute this worthy's view Of the matter, but
present herewith the experience Of Phila-
delphia journalist, Mr.. William H. Cum
nington, 1712 North Twentieth street, one Of
whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to,
beginning his narration rather peculiarly,
however: &c am not rheumatic, and have
been troubled very little with bodily pains.
Last Tuesday morning experienced very
annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew
worse as the day wore ON. Toward evening
it became very severe, and l could scarcely
turn my head in any direction. Arriving
home at tea time. it was with difficulty that
could eat my meal. My wife wanted to
rub my neck with St. Jacobs Oil, but re-
fused, saying 1 thought the affection would
soon pass away. Tea over, against the re-
monstrances Of my family, 1 left home to
ramGle toward the new Chestnut Street
Opera House, about two and a-half mile.
from my residence. started In the midst
OF heavy snow storm, and remained at the
theater until the close of the performance,
although 1 could feel my neck getting worse
and becoming very painful. Leaving the
play the trouble came to reach home. The
storm continued; the car in which was be-
came blocked in nearly every square, cold
current Of air swept through the car, and
did not reach my home until toward two a.
M, by which time my neck had become abb
solutely rigid. Then l consented to the use
Of St. Jacobs Oil. which my wife applied
two or three times before ! arose. contin-
ued its use that day and by evening Twas free
from pain, and the next morning amused
myself by twisting my neck in any direction
that suited me, and not vestige OF stiffness
remained. o-Bostom Herald.

A Bold Robbery.

A passenger train on the Chicago &
Alton railroad was stopped and robbed by
masked highwaymen, four miles east of
Independence, Mo-, on Wednesday night.
The express safe was rifled and the pass
engers robbed of money and watches to
the amount of several thousand dollars. 1t
is believed the express safe did not contain
more than $500. The express messenger,
Fox, was badly beaten by tho ruffians. After
securing their plunder, the whole job oc-
cupying about quarter of an hour, tho
robbers rode off to the woods. II is be-
lieved their leader was the leader
in the robbery of the Chicago &
Rock Island train at Winston on July II.
The train was stopped by obstructiOns and
a rcd lantern on the track. As soon as
the alarm was given by the train at Kan
sas City, posses of men went in pursuit of
tho highwaymen, and it is reported that
six of them have been captured. The
governor of Missouri has issued prOela-
nation calling ON the people "to rise en-
masse and exterminate the robbers"
