Fancy Diaries and Print Butter.

NEW IcAc A.-bunS-l
To my mind there il no department of
husbandry which affords wider scope for
D5usiness sagacity in its management than
dairy farming->botls regards economical
production and gainful marketing. 1t is
less at the influence of meteorological In
flaences, for the daicwman has it in his
power 10 avert t. great extent, the calsm-
lties with which Grouth and storm and heat
and cold threaten has stock and their pro-
ducts. When the butter producer has so
prudently provided forage that his stock
will have full supssly the year round, how
ever unfavOrable the weather may be, and
has so under oRtrol the whole process of
manufacturing butter that neither heat nor
cold can injure its quality he has yet a
- de range for the display of business tai
gnt in putting his product on the
market to the best possible advantage. In
my recent contri button to the Tribune
upon the subject OF enSilage, l had TO do
with the primary department of dairying-
the economical prod uction of milk. In this
letter deal with the commercial part OF the
business for | am convinced that the fancy
xrice-the "dOllar-a- pounds more in the
fancy customer than IN the fancy butter.
WRITERS who have written learnedly about
printbutter, and hSveSought to have their
readers believe t}sat If they should produce
a really choice grade of butter and put it in
the prints they could readily obtain from
20 cents to 81 per pound Tor II, nave ignored
the very first REQUISITE for success in the
fancy butter business. So long as We are
willing to sell at whatever buyers are pleased
. 10 give us, the business skill required in
FelliDg is insignificant, but when we attempt
ITO fix our own price upon any commodity,
I'VE have then TO find buyers who are willing
to pay that price, and right here the practic-
al dairyman, with only average business
capacity, is quite likely to strike upon a
rock that will wreck his extravagant expec-
itations of fancy prices.

Feeding Pasture Land Early i'm the Spring.
Massachusetts, Ploughman.l

Massachusetts Ploughman.l
Some farmers have an idea that they
make great saving by turning out to pas
ture their young cattle and sheep as early in
spring as il is possible for them to get a liv-
ing. 1t is true by so doing they save their
hay, but they lose more other ways than
they gain in this. Sheep and cattle when
turned out to pick up their living on short
feed rapidly lose flesh, and if the sheep have
lambs that are young the lambs not
only suffer in consequence of short
feed. but they also suffer by
the sudden changes of weather.
This alone would be sufficient reason for
longer. 1t may be said that the sheep may
be housed nights and in bad weather, and
that both the sheep and cattle can be fed
enough to keep them in good condition.
This is true. but there is another reason
why il is not best to feed pastures too early,
which is by beginning TO feed as soon as
the grass starts, IL is kept fed close during
the entire season, because by close feeding
early in the season the grass roots are so ex-
posed to the sudden changes of early spring,
and then to the scorching rays of the sum-
mer sun, that they become greatly weak
ened, if they do not entirely die out, and
leave room for some noxious weeds that are
always ready TO occupy any spot that is not
! occupied by the grass.
many pastures are ID urea DN leeUlnE DC
fore the grass has got high enough to show
green 1t is much better to keep both cattle
and sheep to the barn until the grass gets
well started. BY so doing it gives time for
the land to get well covered with growing
vegetation. Thus protected, the land retains
the moisture and isskept in a condition &c
/ furnish good feed throughout the season.
III pastures are not fed early il gives an Op.
portunity to SOW grass seed on the bare
spots and get the young plants we'll started
before the stock is turned in. When we un
derstand how to better care for our pasture:
we shall not only keep our stock out unit
the grass has got a good start, out we shall
be particular to manure them as we ar,
now to manure our moving lands, and thu!
we shall DE able TO keep more stock to tn,
acre and keep them in better condition
How best to manage pasture lands is one Of
the important subjects which is now occu
plying the attention of intelligent farmers.

Raising a Colt.

A colt is regarded as an incumbrance be-
cause he is useless until he arrives at a suit
able age for work, but il really costs very
little, compared with his value, to raise a
colt. When the period arrives at which the
colt can do service the balance sheet will
show in his favor, for young horses always
command good prices if they are sound and
well broken. One of the difficulties in the
way is the incumbraDce placed on the dam,

Away to the Woods,


JAMES HUNTER N'CULLocH.
Away 70 the woods. away,
To the woods on the first Of May,
And there TO be a rover,
Upon this holiday.
We are free as the birds are free;
We are off TO the weeds with glee;
Since winters sway is over,
And the face of spring we see.
We will drink at the kidden springs;
We will hearken when robin sings;
And watch the bluebirds flying
Upon such pretty wings
we are stirred ey the springtime sun;
We will dance, we will climb, and runs
In secret places prying,
And ever in search OF fun
We will wander FOR hours and hours;
We will catherine wildwood flowers
That have been watched and tenSed
By April's sur ana showers;
But long ere the crop we reap
The moon st the sun viii peee,
And 6aT with night he blinded,
Then homeward We will creep.

New York Girls.

At home the New York girl plays
the piano little and the harp, banjo
or violin a good deal-that is, the
last three instruments, and particu-
Iarly the violin, are throwing the
piano into the shade. The piano is
left almost entirely to the Wagner
enthusiasts, who from an extensive
and exclusive clique, and are known
personally as "Parsifals. The New
York girl is also wildly enthusiastic
in matters of art, from Kensington
embroidery to BarthOldi statues.
She paints on everything-silk, vel
vet, marble, tiles, plaques, walls,
wood, stone, dress materials, hOsi-
cry, furniture, and her enthusiasm
for working in clay is great. She
seldom or never produces anything
from the plastic mud, but her soul
scars, and she is enabl, d to wear a
square pastebOard cap and huge
bin with Queen Elizabeth shoulder
puffs. Then, too, she is a prodigi-
GUS worker at private theatricals,
charades and dumb-crambo-if that
is the way it is spelled. In private
theatricals no end of trouble is TAX
en-, and money is lavished in the
most reckless manner. Scenes are
painted, temporary stages erected in
bathrooms, orchestras employed, and
skilled dramatic teachers retained
for weeks. The most elaborate tab
leauX are given with richness Of
costuming never approached on the
professional stage.
The New York girl leads a busy
life, and, on the whole, rather hap
py one, and taken all in all, she is
about as charming as any other girl
on the bosom of the earth.-NeaC

the people have lately expressed
themselves, and TO steal away from
the Democrats a good deal of their
/ l0udest thunder. There was not the
usual experience of printing the
message all over the country before
it was sent to Congress. a rumor
was current in newspaper Row Sat
urday night that copy of the m s.

One or two, | believe. were taken in
by this bogus copy, but when Pres
ident heard the rumor he sent word
that be would like to get copy him
self, as his own was not yet fiuished,
aud this might save him al further
trouble. Though the Garfield Mon
umpnt Fair was not financially q
success il developed "a number Of
amusing incidents. Ona was the
dpvelopmentof Congressman Houck,
OF Tennessee, and one Virgins, of
somewhere, as Presidential candi-
dates. A good watch was voted to
the most popular candidate, and in

selves by the strength they were
found TO possess. But HOuck car
ried off the election.
All the gossiper8 have been indulg-
ing in more or less talk about The
coming social season at the Capitol,
which they generally predict is to be
usually lively. The season will be
short and we shall have here an uu-
usual number of people who come
just to spend the winter aud see
what is going on. TINS class is
growing yearly, and the peculiarities
OF the present situation adds To their
number good many who are inter
ested in political matter-the can
vass for the next speakership, the
revision OF the tariff aud other kin
bred subjects. The President will
take Il band in the social festivities
this season, which VIII be opened
with the New Years reception at
the White House. Having Il good
deal Of pride about doing such things
correctly and brilliantly, it is prob
able that the round of receptions,
and dinners will be in keeping with
the predictions aud expectations for
an unusually brilliant sed on. Last
winter while the President was
writing his communications to Con-
gresS and his notes to personal
friends on paper deeply bOrdered
with mourning, it was proper that IA
degree OF restraint should be obsery-
ed at the Executive Mansion. The
season OF official mourning was long
ago ended, and the occasion for it
has faded from the memory of most
people here. In preparation for the
fitting reception of guests at the
White House, the interior, as well
as the eXerior, has been improved.

Tho Process of Solar Printing Adopted by the
Pennsylvania Railroad
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has adopted process of copying plans
and outlines so simple and yet so effec-
tive as to have an important bearing on
all the methods of engraving. htho-
graphing, photography. and even draw
ing as at present conducted. 1t is what
is known as the ..blue print process. -
and is sort of easy photography, bv
means of which mere child NAV COPY
IN the most perfect and exact manner
any object whatever, the lines of which
can be embraced in the dimensions of a
large pane OF window-glass, for in
stance. Larger outlines can be copied,
but require more care and little more
apparatus.
A piece of pure. unlimited paper is tax
en- and made sensitive by means of a
chemical wash, consisting of Ii ounces
OF red prussiate of potash and / ! ounces
of citrie iron and ammonia, dissolved in
sixteen ounces of water. This, when
applied to the paper in dark closet by
means of broad cloth brush, gives a
peculiar rich, glistening, yellow surface.
This paper, when dry, is ready for
printing. If at this stage fern leaf is
taken or few sprays of grass or
feather or any drawing executed on
translucent material, SUCH as onion-skin
paper, it may be perfectly copied in ev-
cry minute detail within the space of
four or five minutes. The object is sim
ply laid ON the paper and piece of
glass laid over it To hold it in position
and then exposed 10 the meridian sun.
The yellow paper then turns rapidly TO
DOLL b. a
upon, at the expiration of about three
minutes, it is Withdrawn. But one
thing remains TO be done; the sensitive
paper is given bath in pure water, and
instantly a perfect copy OF the fern leaf,
grass, or drawing appears on the blue
surface of the paper, in white. as if
traced by hand. The philosophy OF the
process is that the black lines of the
drawing or the lilaments of the grass or
fern are Opaque, and consequently re-
fuse adnlittance to the light. which OPP
crates upon the open sensitive spaces.
causing them to undergo a chemical
change. AS utilized by railroads, iron
companies, ship-builders, and architects
and artists, however, in multiplying
their many maps and plans, and even
circular letters, the process becomes
little more complicated. Instead of
merely placing the design to be printed
over the sensitive sheet, and leaving the
rest to the light, large glass frames,
with wooden lids, are used, inside of
which tie drawing is placed, face down
ward, and GOV red with the sensitive pa
per. The frame Is then reversed, leav-
ing the plan exposed to the light. A
full bright sun is not absolutely requis-
tie, but a longer time is required for ex-
posure on Il cloudy day. There is one
light entirely. and prints by night as
well as by day. A step further has been
made also in producing a white back
ground with blue lines. Philadelphia
