It is said that sweet or olive oil

The quantity of milk annually
consumed in Boston is estimated at
l2,o76,6oo gallons, which, at six
cents a quart, costs $2,s9s,15s to the
consumers. The large amount OF

the sum to So, 100000.
A leading dealer in dairy products
in New York, informs the Dairy,,aana
that the introduction of oleomarga.
rine has increased the sale of good
butter. It has also increased the
quantity of good butter by driving
the inferior qualities out of the
markets.
The P'iarie Farmer doubts if five
bushels of corn to the acre will be
harvested in the corn belt from mid
die Ohio to central Nebraska, 1000
miles long by $50 wide. That will
perhaps be news to most of the far
mers in the domain indicated.
A Maine correspondent of the
American Grange Bulletin thinks
that insects are-so multiplying in the
older cultivated regions that "per-
sons must even have place among
farm supplies. That may be, but
newly cultivated regions of the West
have been devastated by grasshop-
pers, Colorado beetles, chinchbugs
and army worms.
A Colorado potato bug has just
created sensation in England. It
was discovered on an American YES
sci. The fact was telegraphed to the
Lords of Privy Council; they tele-
graphed that it should be killed and
forwarded for inspection. ALI 1 of

A Correspondent of the Ne,o

with stable manure, plowing it under,
and scattering it on the surface after
blowing and planting has been done,
and gives the preference to the sur

farmers to give both plans test, be-
Iieving that they will agree with him
that the surface mode is the better.
Heretofore cotton seed oil has been

IN the hands of capitalists. Now
small machinery is being employed,

which will afford a market for cotton

on private property. These gentle
men also say that the shipment of
cattle on the hoof reduces its weight
and quality one-half before it arrives
in Chicago, besides which they have
to pay the same rate for horns, hoofs,
intestines, ETC., as for the valuable
portions of the carcass. In conse-
quence of these drawbacks, it is
urged that Texas beef has been com.
PEELED to rank low in the market.
They expect to be able to manufac-
ture their own ice, on a large scale
and at comparatively insignificant
cost for the supply of their cool stor
age-houses and refrigerator cars.
If they decide to adopt the plan on
which they seem at present resolved,
Eastern consumers will certainly be
able to buy beef at a lower rate than
for the past few months.

The latest report from the Agri-
cultural Department as to the wheat
crop of 1882, says "The aggregate
of winter wheat, as indicated by the
September returns, is about 3so,ooo,-
900 bushels, spring wheat about l4o,.
900, 900, or $40, 100000 bushels in all.
The threshing test may slightly mod
ify these figures. The first threshing
generally exceeded expectations;
later thrashing has, in many sections,
been disappointing. 1t is quite GER
tain that the percapta supply OF
wheat will not be quite as large as in
1879 or 1880.

A southern agricultural paper ad-
vises that as agricultural machinery
is new in the South, great caution
should be exercised in the use thereof,
and laments that many sad accidents
have already occurred. This was
true in northern States on the first
introduction of farm machinery there.
But machinery is no more to be re-
jected on account of an occasional
accident than is the plow, or the axe,
for accidents ard deaths have often
attended the use of both.

Sweet Sixteen.

Be glad that you are little girl yet,
Keep your childhood as long as you can.
Those days are the happiest you ever can
know in all your life.
You may believe that to be grown up,
and to have the pleasure of society, will
be better; but you never made a greater
mistake in your life. With womanhood
comes duties, cares, anXieties, of which
you have no knowledge. To marry
means generally to leave home and be
gin new life that may be full of trials
and troubles, pretty as the bride looks in
her wedding tfnery.
In these last school days, with no
greater anxiety than your music lessons,
and encompassed by the affection Of your
parents, warm and snug in the home
nest, with no more knowledge of the
outside world than hewly-hatched
spring bird has of winter. How many
stylish woman envies you, even as YOU
envy her gorgeous robes and her train of
admirers. Be content. Time will pass
all too quickly. You will have many
years in which to wish yourself q little

Don't rush into matrimony, my dear
young ladies; enjoy youry youth while you
can. If you are butsiXteen, don't allow
any such idea to get into your head for
at least four years. Don't even run the
risk of it by permitting any young man
to get so far as the proposing point.
Fight him off and make him wait or 90
away to somebody who is ready. Don't
live under the impression that YOU must
accept the first loye-sick youth who pro-
poses. BE patient, deliberate and sara
cious. There is a world of happiness for
you between sixteen and twenty. The
world would be dreary old waste if if
were not for the sweet faces of vounp
girls with their piquant savings and
melting smiles. Your father has BOUGHT
you piano, and you have learnt how to
play after many long and wearisome les
sons. Don't spoil all by getting married.
for after that you won't have much use
for your piano. After you have reached
twenty it will be well to consider the
matrimonial problem with some seri-
BUSINESS. And even then, if you have a
good home, you need be in no hurry to
solve it-RuraJ Ne1O Yorker.

A Wonderful Recovery.

One week ago last Monday the HsraM
chronicled the fact that little girl named
Ada WOrden, twelve years old had fall
en- from a window in her residence on
fremont Street, to the ground, q distance
of sixty feet, and that there was slight
chance of her ultimate recovery from her
injuries. The fact that the child could
have sustained an unbrOken fall of sixty
feet, striking at its completion on Il brick
walk, and not be killed outright, was IN
itself marvellous, but the rapid recovery
of the little one, and the fact that in five
days it was up and dressed and as well
as ever, borders on the miraculous. DR..
Perry, who attended the child, says that
perfect quiet and nature were the agents
that brought about so happy u concIu-
sion; but the child's mother, who IS 4
very devout woman, clings firmly to the
belief that it was the hand of God. A re-
porter visited the scene of the accident
and saw the child, who took him to the
room from the window of which she fell
and, with barely perceptible shudder'
she pointed to the sill upon which she
stood when she lost her footing. A
glance down is enough to make one
head swim. and how the child could have
had the courage to step from the wndo"
sill to another three feet away, As she
had done several times before falling Is
thing which no one but child can eA'
plain. Boston Herald.

FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND.

On the sandy beach my friend and
Sat together one summer day;
Blue was the sea and blue the sky,
And the children happy at play,
Little they cared for wind or heat,
Flashing the surf in happy bands;
Leaving the prints of their small bare feet
On the wet sands.
Maidens went slowly sauntering by,
Dreaming their first sweet dream of love;
What did they care, with the dear one nigh,
For the blue below or the blue above?
They spoke of Beauty and all things fair.
Holding each others willing hands,
And leaving their footsteps unaware
On the wet sands.
Many a mother with patient grace
Watched her little ones bold and gay;
Many a wife with thoughtful face
Talked with her husband in sober way.
The crowd went on in Il ceaseleSs flow,
Footsteps minging on the sand
That never again would touch, know,
In any land.
"See, said my friend, " how the rising tide
Washes the footprints all away!
So the hopes of life no longer bide
We lose their trace in single day.
What plans were laid and what hopes were
born,
As the straying feet made prints to-day,
That the tide of life tomorrow morn
viii wash away
" All, we'll" said, " but tomorrow morn
Feet will wander again, you know;
TO-morrow'S hopes may be better born,
And to-morrow's plans to fortune grow.
And good is the tide that can elface
Mistaken steps and useless strife, p
For Hope will spring in its secret place i
To the end of life"
