Differing Tastes of the Races.

From the San Antonio (Texas) Express
The report of DIR. Smith, stationed with
the troops at Fort Clark, Texas shows that
there is quite difference in taste between
the white and the negro troops at that place.
the troops are furnished with certain "a
tons. If they do not care for these, they
can sell them and purchase other groceries
and supplies in their stead. The doctor finds
that the negros sold most of their coffee and
salt, whence it might be inferred that they
did not appreciate these articles. On the
other hand, the white troops sold their pork
stance was the fact that the negro soldier
consumes twice as much sugar as the white
one; still stranger fact, the declaration
that the darkies use, on the average, three
times as much soap as their white brethren

mother in law to do the milling. Every
woman who, properly conducts her house
affairs, in the country has. enough to do
without going to the field or barnyard to
help her husband In making the butter
and taking care of the milk, she does more
than her half of the work, and that is all any
reasonable, sensible man should ask of her.
We are not speaking Of this matter from
city gentlemans point of view, butas y prac-
teal farmer, who has seen many hundreds
of mothers and daughters who were COM
PEELED by their husbands or fathers to do the
milking as well as making the butter and
cheese, or were brought up to believe it
was woman's work. Such work for women
is degrading especially when made COM
pulsory and constant. We will however,
60 so far as to say that every country girl
who expects to marry farmer or man
who will probably keep cow. should
learn how to milk q COW, harness horse,
drive one, or ride him. because there may
be times when to know how to do these
things will prevent severe losses in proper
ty and suffering TO animals. A husband
may break his arm, leg, or otherwise be
incapacitated for doing such jobs as we
have named when no other person is within
call !; then the wife or daughter may proper
ly come to rescue and do a mans work fol
a short time or until other assistance can
be obtained, but we do not believe daily
visit to the COW stables should be forced
upon any woman worthy of the name.

Charming Winter Life at Nassau.

Mr. J. r. Hazard staff correspondent
of the New York Tribune, is wintering at
Nassau, New Providence, one of the Ba-
hama Islands. and in his last letter says:
There is a great charm to the overdriven
American in the atmosphere which broeds
over these Isles of Incidence. Approach
ing Nassau from the United States, you
never see rock or island until you suddenly
come upon New Providence, rising out of
the blue with nothing else in sight except
its outlying reefs, and it seems to be thou
sands Of miles from any shore.
The weather in this delectable isle, where
the summer lasts all winter long, contin-
ues to be very like the northern June. 1t
is true that the general disturbance of the
elements which has vexed both hemispheres
this season has not been without some in
fuence even in Nassau, but the deviations
from the normal warmth and sunshine have
not been great The thermometer of late
has stood three or four degrees below its
customary mark, but it has been as steady
as ever, almost invariably recording 20 or
II degrees at breakfast time, and 73 or "a
at dinner, which is certainly comfortable
and genial temperature. A day and half
of rain was followed by day of wind squalls
and there have been several days of alter
nate sunshine and cloud. The people of
Nassau call these days of bad weather. I
wonder what they would think of our wealth
er at home.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Brief Notes on Various Subjects.


DR.. G. A. Greene, Lancaster, Penn, took
the sensible ground, in a recent address,
that a tight check rein is cruel, binders q
relic of barbarism, and the crupper unde-
sirable with the majority of horses.
The Illinois State Board of Agriculture
sets up somewhat unusual standard for
officeholding. 1t has recommended that
Mr.. Emery Cobb be appointed Commits
sioner of Agriculture under Gen. Garfield,
on the ground that he is famous raiser of
crops and breeder Of cattle. 1a '..-.
A bone SPAWN that has been permitted
to fully develop itself without being check
ed is somewhat difficult to cure But if the
animal is valuable it is worth trying Give
the mare rest and put on high heeled
shoe. Foment the joint at first, then ap-
ply counter irritants. Blisters of almost
any kind will usually prove beneficial on
young animals, but on old horses with con-
stitutiOnal bone diseases all remedies will
sometimes fail. Do not keep on the blist-
ers 50 long as to cause deep sore, but long
enough to produce a free exudation of
matter from the parts; then remove, wash
and cleanse the flesh, protect from the air
then, after few days, repeat the applica-
| ton, if necessary.
The barb wire business, so the manufac-
turers say, increased from eight tons in
1875 to 40 900 tons in 1880 and ton makes
two miles of three strand fence.
Elk Governor BE-. Cue, of Iowa, has
good words-and we believe them entirely
deserved-for the state Agricultural college
at Ames, where a thorough practical educa-
ton is within the reach of moderate means

There is story current of an Ohio far.
mer who, having a fancy for sheep i'm

'' Notions of the First Settlers,

Mr.. w. H. H. Amidon, one of the first
settlers in the town of Chinatown, Wis,
and one Of the most industrious and hard
working men in the county, has been very
severely troubled with rheumatic pains dur
ing the past few years, SO much at times,
that he was disabled from performing man
ual labor Learning of the wonderful cures
effected by the use of st. Jacobs Oil he

Haas's Hog Cholera Remedy.

This nostrum, which has recently been
extensively advertised in Western agricul-
tural journals as sure cure for hog chole-
"a, turns out to be of little or no value as
medicine; in fact, it is little else than soap,
lime, and magnesia. The chimist of the
department of agriculture at Washington
has made an analysis of the remedy" and
reports that it is composed of about ten in
gradients, but principally Of magnesium
OXIDE, carbonic acid, sulphuric acid, and
organic matter present in common soap.
Western farmers, or at least a large number
of them who have tested this quick remedy,
report that it is not worth as much as med
icine for hogs as ordinary soap, which by
the way, has been used with good results in
some instances for hog cholem.

MINNESOTA CAPITOL BURNED.
The Members OF the Legislature in Ses.
sion Have a Narrow Escape
From Burning. ~
Description of the Contiagration and Some
of the Scenes and Incidents.

At about o'clock on Tuesday night, while
both branches of the legislature were in session,
St Paul was alarmed by the cry that the cap
itol was ON fire. Never did contlagraton
spread so rapidly. In less than twenty minutes
after the cupola was first Illuminated it had
fallen into the abyss below, caused by the crash
ing in of the roofing timbers over the central
stairway. The cruciform shape of the build
ing, with its transverse halls, did not, as may
well be imagined lessen the drawing powers of
the furnace it soon became, and drafts OF heat
ed air tore through the corridors, carrying in
their front intiammable matter enough to set the
city ablaze.
The origin of the fire is wrapped in mystery.
The true origin will, in all probability, never be
known, as of positive knowledge there is not
an iota procurable.
At 9:2O the flames had surrounded the cupo-
la and were licking the flag staff, at the top of
which the national emblem tloated in its red
dened majesty. Soon the flag was a glare of
flame, and as it fell tongues of fire sprung from
the roof of the east wing, followed almost in
simultaneously by whole seas of flame, so fierce
in intensity and so mighty in volume that the
petty streams of water by this time playing up
on the building from all sides, produced no eff
feet, but fell harmlessly and kissing, as if in
hooking of mans preventive mechanism.
Eating their way steadily downwards, the
flames, by quarter of eleven, had IN their
grasp the woodwork of the basement, and for a
few minutes showed even more terrible inten
sity and fury than before. By eleven the acme
had been reached, and the streams from the
hose commenced to have perceptible effect, but
nevertheless the whole structure, save the brick
walls and iron pillars, was reduced to ashes.

Bronze for Vanderbilt's Palace.

Charles Heaton, of the firm of Bureau
Bros. g. Heaton, bronze founders, of New
York, has signed a contract in New York
for $40, 900 worth of bronze railing to be
furnished to William H. Vanderbilt for his
new residence on Fifth avenue. The rail-
ing is to be of an elaborate scroll pattern,
and 700 feet will be required for the work.
1t will take six months at least to finish the
contract, and the bronze used will be of the
finest quality, and highly polished. Sever
al offers were received by Mr.. Vanderbilt
from the famous bronze foundries of Mu-
Mich and Paris for the contract, but upon
the recommendation of J. Q. A. Ward, the
celebrated sculptor, and Herder Bros, OF
New York, it was awarded to the Philadel
phia firm.

Wendell Phillips, Orthodox.
Hartford Courant.

Hartford Courant.
1t is noticeable that Wendell Phillips is Il
man of most positive faith. In this he re-
sembles Carlyle. He seems to belong to a
faith more conservative than that of the
most orthodox. Holding apart from the
forms of organized christian communions,
and often launching thunderbolts of critic
ism at them, he stands rooted and ground
ed in faith that contributes to his charac-
ter and opinions all the strength of the
most sinewy Calvanism. His positions are
always chosen, or rather seized, as if by a
supreme moral instinct, with reference to
their bearing on great moral questions. He
is uncompromising and severely radical for
this reason.

The Pennsylvania railroad has been max
ing long and elaborate inquiry into the
duration of steel rails, and it is found that
soft steel rails wear away less than hard
steel rails. This is because the little parti-
cles which rise on the surface of steel rail
break off under the wheels when the rail is
hard and hammer down if it is soft.

Seven Points in Milk Setting.

From the New York Tribune a CORE
spondent-who says he has succeeded so
well in making butter that he is able to take
premiums at the county fairs-complains
that the Tribune has never told him what
creamer is best. He uses the common
pans, and hesitates as to what change he
had better make for dairy of ten to twelve
cows. Among the many excellent modes
for raising cream. l would not like to say
which is best, if indeed anyone is best I'M
der all circumstances. 1t will suffice to
state few general principles and let each
one decide for himself. l. To make the
finest favored and longest-keeping butter
the cream must undergo ripening process
by exposure to the oxygen of the air while
it is sweet. This is best done while it is
rising. The ripening is very t,rdy when
the temperature is low. 2. After cream be-
comes sour, the more ripenipg the more it
depreciates. The soonerit is then skinned
and churned the better, but it should not be
churned while too new. The best time for
skimming and churning is just before acid
ity becomes apparent. 3. Cream makes
better butter to rise in cold air than to rise
in cold water, but it will rise sooner in cold
water, and the milk will keep sweet longer
a. The deeper milk is set the less airing the
cream gets while rising. 5. The depth of
setting should vary with the temperature;
the lower it is the deeper milk may be set
the higher, the shallower it should be-.
Milk should never be set shallow in q low
temperature nor deep in high one. Set
ting deep in cold water economies time,
labor and space 6. While milk is stand
ing for cream to rise, the purity of the
cream, and consequently the fine flavor and
keeping of the butter. will be injured if the
surface of the cream is exposed freely to
air much warmer than the cream. Z. When
cream is colder than the surrounding air it
takes up moisture and impurities from the
air. When the air is colder than the cream
it takes up moisture and whatever escapes
from the cream. In the former case the
cream purifies the surrounding air; in the
latter, the air helps to purify the cream.
The selection of a creamer should hinge
on what is most desired-highest quality,
or greatest convenience and economy in
time, space, and labor.-Professor L.. B.
Arnold. @ yet ~ ar.g
