Si1O and Enstja.e Fever.

The Neac England Farmer has been de.
votiaga very considerable amount of space,
with the statement of material facts, to the
matter of solo and ensilage; it accepts the
fact of "fever" upon this subject, declares
that many are 80 crazed by wild expec-
tations that they are rendered unable to
judge with any degree of reason, and con-
clndes by intimating that when the expert
ment has been more fully tried it will Gu
deavcr to say something mere definite as
to its value. There need not, from the
first, to have been any doubt as to the worth
of the claims made by DR.. Bailey. Their
extravaganza was as obvious as was that Of
the unlimited claims for his fertilizers by
DR.. Stockbridge. That the silo fever will
have somo good results is ns certain as it
is that comme1ci fertilizers are some-
times valuable addition to the
resources Of the farmer. Mr.. J. w.
Snnborn of the New Hampshire Agriculture
al College, prcnounces the ensilage system
as described by its friends, t. be fallacy,
because the have claimed utter impossi-
biities, as when they report more product
IN milk from COW fed on ensilage than
they amount of food given contained. 1T
is, he says useless to proclaim that some
thing can be produced from nothing, even
by siio process"
But there will be, in consequence Of the
discussion Of this question, and the growing
Of forage crops for the silos, and q better
appreciation of the value of Indian COIN .
= more thorough study of the care of COWS,
and a general gain Of Information which
will be worth all that it will cost. Silcs
and cnsilago are old adiuncts Of the farms
on The continent of Europe. They will
prove in themselves beneficial to the farm
ers WHO know how to manage them, and
works on scale sutli ;iently large to make
them profitable.

An Ohio paper says young lady who
graduated in calico dress few years ego

who has an income of half million q year.
This may be taken al he basis for the reg

she blossomed forth in white swiss she
might have captured the president of tho
concern, with untold millions; had she
worn silk. with point lace and diamonds,
she might have scooped in the conductor OF

and alabaster walls to her house, ard cut
the wives Of officers on the road rs society
altogether too thin for her style. This
thing ought to be a lesson to girl graduates
md warning to them to patronize their

How to Do Some Things.

Take cup Of cream off the milk pans
every morning when you make bread; it
will make the bread moist, white and deli
cate, and you will hardly miss it from the
cream.
A merino or cashmere dress may be-
mendea neatly by we:ting piece of court
plaster Of exactly the same shade as the
goods, putting it on the wrong side, PRES
sing down every frayed edge and every
thread, and lying q woi8nt on it until thor.
oughly dry.
Take coach varnish and renew oil your
oil-cloths. Wash them clean, wipe dry,
and apply co ) of varnish. BE careful
not to step on them until they are dry. II
this is done once year the l-cloths will
last twice as long Us they will without it.
For the top Of your round table that
must reflect your face use the following
polish. Take one ounce of yellow rosin
and a pint of raw inseed oil; melt the rosin
in II pipkin, and add to it by degrees one
half Of tho oil: when thoroughly incorpor-
ated, add by degrees the reminder. Be
fore using tho polish, it will be best to
wash the table we'll with warm water and
rub itquite dry.

About Kerptng Butter.

Brinlng butter is very usual process, re-
marks the agricultural editor Of the Now
York World. In this plan rolls of butter
in CANVAS wrappers are packed in jars or
tubs containing brine. In the report of the
Vermont Dairymen's Association Mr.. " A.
Willard stated that he knew from actual
experience that good bntter put up after
the following directions will keep in sound
condition one year: Use for package
tub somewhat tapering, with heavy slaves
Ind heads provided at both ends, SO as to
make package that will not leak. In
packing the tab is turned on the small end
and a sack OF cotton cloth is made TO fit the
tub, and into this the butter is backed I'M
til it reaches to within Gil inch of the groove
for holding the upper head. A cloth is
next laid npon the top Of the butter and
the edges of the sack brought over this and
neatly pressed down; then the head is put
in its place and the hoops driven home.
The package is now turned upon the large
end and tho sack of butter drops down,
leaving O space on the sides and
top. Strong brine is then poured through
hole in the small end until it will float the
butter. The hole is tightly corked, and the
butter Is pretty efectually excluded from
the air. Where only a. small quantity of
butter is to be preserved, L. B. Arnold ad-
vises packing it in self-sealing fruit-jar
By this plan little brine is put irto the
jar, which is then packed not quite full of
graduated butter Some bleached muslin
is laid over the butter, then the little space
above filed with salt, and finally enough
strong brine, made from butter salt, poured
in to fill the can. Mr.. Willard advises
when packing roll butter in jars that the
brine be made strong enough to bear an
egg. TO three gallons of this brine he
suggests adding quarter Of . pound Of
sugar and one tablespoonful Of saltpe.re.
Boil the brine, and when it is cool strain
carefully. Make the butter into rolls and
wrap each roll separately in white muslin
cloth. Pack the jar full, we:;,,: the butter
down and submerge in brine

intellectual Position or Woman.

The PuN -MuU Gasette says Of NJ. De.
launay's scientific inquiry: He shows that
among some lower forms of animal life the
female is superior to the male, but that as
we ascend IN the scale the superiority Ct
the male in al respects becomes more and
more pronounced. So in the case of the
human race; in the lower types of humani-
ty the two sexes are very nearly equal, as is
also the case among iiliterate peasantry and
the laboEiEg class. As we ascend to the
higher types of humanity and in the social
scale. the difference between the sexes
tends more and more to widen, the advan-
tage being on the aide Of the male. So al
so when the subject is looked al in point
Of age; up to about twelve years girls intel.
!ectually are, if anything, superior to boys,
but after that the latter leave the former
far behind. Physiologically, NJ. Delaunay
tries TO show, the same result comes out
His main conclusion is that woman is only
undeveloped man; that the pre- emiuence
Of the female over the masculine sex, be-
ing met with only among certain inferior
species. or races, marks a lower degree Of
evolution. But rs even he admits that this
evolution is largely dependent on surround
ing conditions, his investigation rather
strengthens than weakens the position o;
those who contend that no obstacles should
be thrown in the way Of the complete intel
lectual development CT "undeveloped man.
