GOOD BUTTER The best method OF
abrldging the consumption oleomargarine,
butterine, and all such substitutes for but
ter, is for farmers 10 send good butter TO
market. 1t is because so much inferior
butter is offered for sale that the sale of
substitutes is possible.
One of the causes of inferior butter is thus
alluded too by thR National Lire Stock Jour
nal
Science and the hest practice would seem
to be on the side of churning sweet cream.
DR.. Voelcker, chemist Of the Royal Agricul-
tural Society OF England, has recently taken
strong ground against churning sour cream.
He lays as much stress upon having cream
sweet when it il churned as he does upon,
having it clean. Common sense would seem
to coincide with Voelcker. That milk when
1T has turned sour, is started on the road 10
is not questioned by any
body, even the advocate Of sCuriDg cream
What advantage it can he to the stability ot
butter fats to hold them for time, either
long or short, mingled with a r0ass of decom-
posing animal matter IN whateyer stage of
decomposition it may be, common sense is
unable to understand.

RAISING SEED PoTAToEs.-In the lower
counties of Virginia and southwark as far
as South Carolina large quantities of early
potatoes are grown for the northern markets.
The crop from the latter State come into
market as the supply from Bermuda becomes
exhausted. The seed from which these crops
are produced is procured for this special pur-
pose and are known as second growth po-
tat0es.
Towards the end of July potatoes of the
current years growth are cut and planted,
and from these late crops The seed is procur.
ed for planting the following spring. These
seed potatoes do not attain to large size.
but experience has proved that they make
earlier and better crops than can be pro-
duced from the earlier ripened potatoes, and
this method Of raising seed potatoes is now
generally adopted.

THE BRITISH GOAT SoCIETY.-This is
the name of a society which has been organ
lied in England for the importation, breed
Ing, and supply of goats. The demand for
goats, owing to the increasing popularity of
goats milk as food for infants and for in
valids has led TO the formation of society
to establish system of supplying these AM
mails, in order 10 meet this demand
The opinion is held that if goats milk
could he ob!ainable in large cities it would
meet With very considerable sale, as it is
stated that this milk is much better than
that yielded by the COW. Another advan-
tsge claimed is, that the goat is healthy
animal, and is not subject to so many dis
eases as is the COW, and is in consequence
more reliable as a healthy milk yielding
animal than the Alderny or Jersey.

EFFECTS OF FEEDING CORN TO YOUNG
SToCK.-Cornmeal is a very defectiEe food,
being rich in starch chiefly and deficient IN
nitrogen and phosphates. Itshould be gwen
very sparingly, but better not at all to
a young ANIMAL when it has become half
grown some corn may be given. But corn
produces fat, and this is not what young
animal needs. Bone and muscle are re-
quired, and corn produces neither OF these,
except to very limited extent. An in
stance of its peculiar effects may he noted
in the so-called leg weakness of fowls fed
chiefly on corn, and the effects of its highly
carbonaeeous composition upon pigs fed
wholly or chiefly upon it are seen in the
prevalent and destructive "hog cholera" or
anthrax fever. The French name of this
disease, chdrbon, distinctly characterizes it
as the effect of the super-carbonization of
the blood by too much carbonaceous or
starchy food.-American Farmer.

VEGETABLE IVORY Plaintiffs name is
given to 4 South American plant which
closely resembles d palm, but according to
-botanists it does not belong to that family
of plants. IL is named PhWcIephGs anac7o-
capa. The fruit OF this plant is formed IN
large clusters, each weighing when ripe about
twenty-five pounds. From six TO eight
clusters are produced at one time on plant.
and each Of the fruits contain from six to
eight Of the seeds, which are the vegetable
ivory nuts OF commerce. The seed at first
contains clear insipid fluid, which become.
milky, and changes by degrees until it ripens
solid and almost as hard rs ivory Animals
eat the fluid i'll its young green state A
sweet oily pulp incloses the seeds which is
collected and sold in New Granada under the
name of Pipa de Jagua. These nuts are
fashioned into number of fancy and useful
articles. which are as white as' animal ivory
and equally hard, unless put in water. and if
they are they become white and hard again
when dried. Vegetable ivory may be dis
tinguished from animal ivory by means of
snlphuric acid, with gives bright red color
with the vegetable ivory, but none with the
animal ivory; the color produced on vegeta-
BILE ivory gradually disappears in contact
with water.

The CAsTER-oIL PLANT, also called
the Palma Christi, is b0tanicaliy RjciRms
communiS 1t is a native of India, bat dis
tributed or cultivated in warm regions ali
over the world. There are many varieties
In cultivation, differing in size of growth,
color Of the leaves, and size and markings Of
the seeds The smaller seeded kinds are
said to produce the best qualities OF medic
inal oils; the Larger seeded kinds producing
coarser oils, which are employed for various
domestic and mechanical purposes; the
quality Of the oil is also dependent, in some
degree, upon the process of manufacture.
The cultivation of the Castor Bean. as il is
usually called, is minor industry with us.
Being tropical plant it requires dry, warm
soil well enriched. Wet clay soils are not well
fitted for its growth. The method of plant
ing and general culture closely resemble
those employed for Indian corn. The seeds
are deposited in rows which are from five TO
six feet apart, and the plants should be from
to some extent to suit the variety; some of
the kinds are very much stronger than 9TH
ers. The seed spikes are collected rs soon
as the pods assume brownish color. and
before the seeds are so far matured as 70
drop out of the pods in handling. The
gathering is troublesome, as the seeds rpen
at different periods and many gatherings
are required in order TO remove such spikes
only as are in proper condition.
The profits of this culture are said to be
but little over those of corn, taking an aver
age Of years.
The medicinal uses Of caster oil are we'll
known;-it is largely employed as a gentle
and efficient purgative. It's mechanical uses
are varied it is used in some parts of India
an burning oil; it is said to soften and re-
deem old leather better than any other oil
known.
Leather belts for transmitting motion to
machinery will last long time when creased
with castor-oil, as they always remain fiexi-
BILE and do not crack il also prevents slip-
ping, so that belt three inches wide i'm
pregnated with the oil will be equal to a
belt four inches wide without it, 1t is neces-
sary, however, to wait twenty four hours till
the oil has disappeared from the surface and
penetrated the leather, otherwiso the freshly
creased surface will cause slipping

SCUPPERNONG GRAPE FOR WTNE.-A

southern Ohio. This grape, and other varie-

FEEDING PIGs.-Mr. James s. Grinnell,
OF Greenfield, Mass, says that when pork
brings six cents a pound it will pay to buy
grain or meal for fattening The question
should be not how little to feed, but how
much the pig can get into him and assimi-
late in the shortest time. Cooked meal he
regards as about the best feed all things
considered, and eastern corn is better than
western.

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMERS.

Letme call your attention to the effects
of the tariff upon the farmer and pro-
ducer as compared to the benefits derived
from it by the manufacturer. OF the
1888, 100000 of domestic merchandise
exported during the last fiscal year 80
per cent. were products of the soil and
farm, the chief of which were cotton,
breadstuffs, provisions, tobacco and live
stock. The prices for this vast amount
of farm and agricultural products were
fixed in Liverpool and London. The
price of wheat goes up or down in the
Board of Trade at Chicago as it fluctu-
ates in London or Liverpool, so that the
foreign price determines the home price.
Our imports for the last year upon which
a duty was paid, as you have seen, was
over $446,O00,000 of this amount 80 per
cent. were articles of manufacture. The
price of these was fixed in Lowell and
other manufacturing centres in this
country, and not at the port at which
they were shipped. There might be a
difference of anywhere from 30 to 100
per cent. in the price there and here,
the price might be that much less IN
the foreign market than in this country,
but the consumer could have no beneht
from that for the tariff would absorb 1t
all. So that while the farmer and the
producer had to sell to the manufacturer
their products at foreign prices, and
they were compelled to buy both foreign
and domestic goods at home prices en-
hanced by protective tariff, the manu-
facturer purchases all farm products at
the lowest prices and sells his manu-
factured articles at the highest prices

TIE LegisIatnra has determined +

The Legislature has determined to in
vestigate the State Asylum for the care
and education of imbecile and idiOtic
youth. We observe some journals are
harping against the institution on ac-
count of the expense and that it does
no good, &c. We are satisfied that those
who thus talk, have not visited the in
stitutiOn to see and become acquainted
with the working and the results of this
most noble and and benevolent institu-
tiOn. A little acquaintance Herewith
would change their views, we are conf
dent. That most unfortunate class are
properly cared for, educated, taught to
labor; in fact, improved in every way
possible, to make them useful to them
selves, their friends and the State. Our
common public schools are not calcu-
lated to benefit imbecile children, and
the same arguments that are urged
against the Imbecile Asylum may be
used also against the public school sys-
TEN, and against the Blind and Deaf and
Dumb Asylums. We only advise people
to visit the Imbecile Asylum and see
and judge for themselves.

THE political campaign of 1882, COM
menced in New York, January I'd. At
Albany the Democratic members of the
Legislature refused to bargain with
Tammany. 1t is very good way to be-
gina good keynote.
That is something extraordinary then.
It is the first instance on record where
the Democratic party refused to bargain
for neutrality-suspicious..
The secret of Democratic success from
the first was and has been in avoiding
corruption and kicking out the corrupt.
This rule and adherence to correct prin-
ciple gave us victory under Jefferson
and jackson; and it is the way to vic
tory again. The Democratic party is
opposed to running the Government in
the interest of mOnOpOlists, or priVi-
legged few. Special chartered privileges
and special protection" to the favored
capitalists, by which schemes the people
are robbed and values and business rem
dered uncertain are not within the
scope of the Democratic creed, which is
well and fully expressed in JUSTICE AND
EQUALITY OF RIGHTS.
