Curiosities of the Voice.

DIR. Delaunay, in n paper read recent
iy before the French Academy of Medi-
cine, gives some details on the history
and limits of the human voice, which
he obtained after much patient research

.nhabitants<of Europe were all tenors;
heir descendants of the present day are

fcrent races, he calls attention to the
fact that inferior races, such as negroes.
etc., have higher voices than white

he former being usually sopranos or

.'Tenors." Says the doctor, ARE slcn-
o~rly built and thin; BASES arc stoutly
made and corpulent." This may be
the rrlc, but one is inclined to think
there are more exceptions 10 it than are
necessary TO prove the rule. The Same
remark applies TO the assertion that
thoughtful, intelligent men have always
a decp-toned voice; whereas triflcrs and
frivolous persons, have soft, weak
voices. The tones of the voice are per-
~ptibly higher, he points out, before
than after q meal. which is the reason
why tenors dine early, in order that
.neir voices may not suffer. Prudent
singers eschew strong drinks and spir-
itaous liquors, especially tenors. but the

How the Supreme Court is Opened.

~S 1aH-1Ao 011 1RSA14A
To begin with, says the Washington
Star there is a degree of dignity and
stately bearing about the court and
its members which perameates even to
the most humble attache. There is q
quiet in the courtroom which recalls
the Sabbath of the Covenanters. When
one enters the involuntary feeling
m on that the room is set aside on
ly for the contemplation of the sober
side of life, and woe to him who jibes
Or jokes in the presence of the court
The court is opened about this fashion;
AT II O'Clock (noon) the justices come
In from the consulting-room and take
their seats on the bench. Away to the
left Of the chamber is seen u youth
ful officer, whose business is to catch
the first glimpse of the advancing
Judges. Then comes three raps with a
ponderous gavel by the same officer.
This is meant as a signal for the
audience to rise. Then with the chief
Justice in advance. the judges enter
from the right of the chamber. To the
real of the Justices seat is an aisle. In
the centre Is an arched entrance for the
chief justice. Through this aisle tho
judges file and take positions on the
right and left. None enter until the
chief Justice emerges from the centre
entrance. After all have filed in, the
chief justice makes a graceful obeisance
to the audience. Then the judges take
seats, a stroke Of the gayel is made.
and the audience seats itself. The
opening of the court falls upon a youth
full official. 1t is after the old English
form, ''Oh, yea; oh, yea.' etc, and con-
cludes with the words, ''God bless the
honorable supreme court" The court
is now ready for business. All the JUS
tees are clad in black silk gowns with
an ecclesiastical cut.

THE DAIRY.

-Gentleness, and gentleness only,
will overcome a vicious, turbulent ais
position in COW. Shouting at her,
kicking or otherwise maitreating her,
will never mend her manners; but 1t IS
a bad creature indeed that will not yield
to perseyering gentleness of treatment,
1t is worth while to remember that
gentle treatment and rapid and close
milking will tend to the greatest devel-
opment of the milk in COWS, while the
opposite practices will have the effect
of materially reducingthe quantity. But
with kind treatment and careful milk
ing there must be an abundance of the
best feed provided, if the best results
are desired.
I'm reply to correspondent who
asked if it would be advisable to build
an ice-house with milk-room attached,
and have the drain from the ice pass
through the milk-room the Rural NeW
Yorker says; Your plan will not work.
Many persons have tried it and all have
failed. 1t wastes the ice and does not
cool the milk. Your best plan is to set
your milk in deep pals, in a cistern, a
trough or pool covered from the air,
and use the ice in the usual manner to
cool the milk directly. A water tight
box is easily made of plank for this pur-
pose. 1t would require many times
more ice to cool the air of a milk-room
than to cool the milk itself. Fifty
pounds of ice will cool 200 pounds Of
milk to forty-ive degrees in close
non conducting box or refrigerator.
The box should be lined with tin.
--Dairying during the season of 1881
promises we'll from the outlook at pres
ent, especially in the northwest. In
Wisconsin cheese will be the main prod
act of the dairy. although not a few
factories will adopt the plan of making
butter, if not through the entire season
they will as soon as the cheese season
closes. A number of new factories will
be erected in various portions OF the
state. In Iowa butter will be the prod
uct, and from reports the make for 1881
will greatly exceed that of 1880, when
the product reached fully $4,000, 900
pounds. In Illinois few new cream
cries will be erected and butter and
cheese will both be produced as former
ly. In none of the foregoing States can
much cheese be found at present and
the opening of spring will give good
market, especially for the better class
of goods. Utica (M Y J Herald.
-Withgood management soiling may
be made a very profitable practice. No
dairy can well be managed without it,
excepting where land is very cheap and
one has abundance of grass and pasture.
One COW has been kept ON an acre the
year round by good system of soiling,
but it is very easy to keep COW on an
acre and a. half or two acres. The crops
usually grown are winter rye or wheat
for the first green fodder to be cut in
May and June; clover and grass to be
cut in June and July; oats, or oats and
peas, to be cut in July and August; corn
to be cut in August and up to Novem.
Der with Hungarian grass or millet if
need be; then mangels for fall and
winter feed with dry corn fodder and
hay until the rye omesagain the next
spring. 1t is necessary to plant the
crops for cutting at intervals SO as to
have them fresh and not too ripe.

Where to Locate an Orchard.

When the country was new it made
very little difference where the first set
tiers located their orchards; they grew
thrifty and bore we'll wherever they were
planted. Since the forests have been
cut away, and the hard winds in winter
and summer have been let in upon us so
freely, 1t makes quite a difference with
the farmer where he now locates his or
chard. The variation of soil, or subsoil,
in different parts OF the farm, would
favor some particular kinds of apples as
more specially adapted to particular To-
cations. But the main object will be in
reference to the prevailing winds, either
TO plant the orchard whereit will be pro-
tected from them, or locate it where the
orchard will protect the farm buildings
and gardens and small fruits from such
winds, acting as windbreak for them.
The prevailing winds in this section are
from the west-southwest, and will give
what l consider the best plan for locat.
ing an orchard here, and the reasons for
1t, which of course would have to be
changed and modified to suit the cendi-
tons of other localities.
Suppose the farm to lie on the south
side OF an east and west road, and to
have middling even surface. | would
have the house about at the middle OF
the front, at a good distance from the
road, and a lawn with some trees and
shrubs, extending in good breadth each
way on the front. The barn should
stand at a fair distance to the southeast
OF the house. and the garden east of the
house, lying between the barn and the
lawn. Then locate the orchard south
and west of the buildings, planting as
near them as twill do to look we'll, and
have it front into the lawn or road as il
extends beyond the lawn. This, of
course, will be aiming to have the or
chard shelter the house and adjoining
buildings from the prevailing winds.
The orchard should have the shelter of
one or two rows of thickly planted for
est trees along its west and south bound-
aries. This would make more effect
ual windbreak if evergreens like our
native white cedar were planted between
the forest trees, where they would grow
readily and add much to the warmth of
the grounds. A
The difference between living in such
q sheltered place as this, or in an ex-
posed location, Is 80 much that man or
beast or even plants find it decidedly
in favor of the former. In the garden
here, other things being equal, it will
be comparatively easy to grow its prod
ucts early and to great degree of per-
lection; while in the one exposed to the
driving winds the plant growth will be
slow and unsuccessful, even after spend
ing more time, care and work over it.
There is only one other plan that I think
might be preferable, and that can only
commend as theory. 1t is to plant for
est timber in the place of this orchard,
and four or FIVE times as thick on the
ground, for permanent growth, and
plant the orchard east Of the garden
and building, when all would be more
completely sheltered. The farmer
would derive more comfort and benefit
from the forest growth than most farm
ers do from their native wood lots.-.H.

Butter Preservatives.

AS FRESH butter is very perishable
product, and to large extent in both
small and large diaries is required to be
preserved in good condition for length
ened periods, the methods OF preserv-
ing it are worthy of notice. At the out
set it is necessary to utter q caution
against all the so-called butter powders
which are offered for sale and pressed
upon public notice as agents for in
creasing the quantity of butter as well
as for preserving it. Some of these de-
serve to be called frauds, for they are
not what they are set forth to be and
the stuff produced by them is not butter
but mixture of butter and curd made
by means of alum. salaratus and other
similar substances, with sufficient col
oring matter to give it some appearance
of butter. But it is not butter by any
means. and can only be disposed of bv
false representations. AS a matter of
course, no person would make such
stuff for his own Use; but many might
be deceived by the delusive advertise
ments into purchasing and trying these
butter powders to their own disap-
pointment and injury. AS general
rule. all these mixtures by which the
quantity of the butter is proposed to be
increased, may be considered as injuri-
Gus, because the butter cannot be in
creased in any manner whatever, ex-
cept by the addition of milk, curd or
water and any one of these is hurtful to
the butter and to the extent that the ad.
ditlonal weight and bulk are not butter
it is deceit and fraud.
Saltpeter, sugar, borax and some

and are used in packing but
