A Young Mems Christian Association
of England has sent an accredited agent
to this country on a novel mission. His
object is to arrange with reputable farm
ers in the United States, especially in the
West, for the placing of them with
youths from l6 to Is years of age, to be
thoroughly instructed in practical farm
ing. The young men are to be selected
by the association from among those who
are not fitted for business, and have no
chance to enter business, and who have
no other opening in life There are. in
fact, large numbers ofyouths in England,
who after serving an apprenticeship to
merchant lind that there. is no work for
them to do. The association intends to
send as many young men as possible to
this country,s where their opportunities
will be so much larger than at home.
They will only be sent to farmers who
are we'll established, and who will in q
measure be responsible for those intrust-
ed to their care. 1t is believed that
there are many such farmers who would
be glad to have the services of respecta-
BILE lads at nominal figure. It is also
proposed to provide homes in this country
for girls, as domestics, who are unwilling
to take such positions in their own coun-
try, and many of whom rapidly go to
ruin. 1t is to be hoped that the plan will
be as successful as it deserves to be.

The National Banks.
49, uAIllAaAAI.

n.y.. ,GRAaY- y uSTstazANs
On September 3D., the ! bonds sup.
porting the bank circulation were $685.
$3.50. OF this amount, 500, 2S7,.
$50 was in three per cents. n Conae,
quently the redemption Of these will
extinguish the larger part of the bank
circulation. This may be expected to
happen within the next two years, un-
less the surplus revenue of the govern
mentis abolished forthwith. Hence the
problem Of the currency should be
grappled with and solved before the.
three per cents are redeemed. The
amount of bank notes now outstanding
is about 1852 millions but good part
of this will be destroyed the moment
the notes are sent to Washington, for
the bonds now held against the circula.
ton justify the issue Of but $318,307,.
935 in the notes. What circulates
above that sum-about $4,000, 600
is not supported by bonds, but by law
full money on deposit in the treasury
for that purpose. Consequently, we
are on the eve OF contraction which
endangers, not the national banks, but
the business interests of the country.
The steps to be taken towards relief, is
to repeal the surplus revenue of the
government Boston Advertiser.
From reading the above article,
there seems still to be some apprehen'
sion as to the safety of the future cir
culation of the national banks. The
relief proposed by the Advertiser, sis
to repeal the surplus revenues of the
government" In other words, let the
present Indebtedness of the government
remain and pay interest on the matured
three per cent. bonds for the accom-.
dalton of the banks. While we are
friendly toward the banks, and believe
strongly in the national bank system,
as the best and safest under proper re.
strictions, and favor gradual reduc-
ton of the revenues, we are not in ia.
vor of paying interest on tie national
debt any longer than necessary. Ger
tainly what surplus funds we have
should be applied to the payment o.
the national bonds. Give the bank,
non>interest bearing bonds as basis
and relieve them of all government
taxation and banking capital can and
will take care Of itself. Tax not thu
people to pay unnecessary taxes wher
it can be avoided. '5.' ay

We arrived here safely on the 18th,

expected. We had come very disa>

when we got into Kansas we struck
norther, cold and rainy, and some
snow. This was very disagreeable to
her, she has been quite poorly for some
days, but yesterday seemed better, and
this morning she is still better.
Weather was unfavorable up to
yesterday when it cleared off and is
now nice and pleasant. 1t has rained
twice, light showers. We had sand

wants to go West to take such trip

this, but in all my travels have never
seen anything equal to this trip. As

. Being a reader of your estimable pa
per, and seeing occasional letters in it
from this great State, but none from
this immediate section, / have thought
perhaps few dots from here would
not prove uninteresting.
On the 10th Of this month ten years
ago, after leaving McMinnville on the
9th, I landed at my destination 125
miles Southeast from here. We have
raw land enough it seems to me, to
settle every family in Tennessee, and
then have plenty Of elbow room. If a
man wants prairie land to settle on, it
is here; if he wants timber land, he
can get it, and if he wants to get into
the mountains he can be grati6ed.
We have but one stream of runs
ming water in this section, the
Bosque. Springs are few. We have
to dig from II to 115 feet for water.
This section of Texas is being fenced
up for the grass. Three pastures have
been fenced since l came here, the
three including about 1900 acres,
though these are but garden spots to
the pastures West.
Does it rain here? Well if some Of
of my old Tennessee friends were here
now they would think it never did.
We have had no rain to amount 10
anything since about the 4th Of July.
My COWS go several miles for water,
and then it is about half mud.

Milk and Butter Production.
BY MRS. NJ. S. HAMPTON,

III
For the benefit Of your lady read
ers l will give my experience the past
twelve years in handling milk and but
ter for dairy purposes. The first and
most important point in the production
of pure milk and butter is cleanliness.
l always use tin vessels for my milk,
these should be scalded and then wash.
ed twice with cold water before they
are ready for milk. Those who have
a spring.house in which to keep their
milk and butter, have very many ad-
vantages over those who are deprived
of it. 1t is very essential that the
milk should be freed from animal heat
as soon after taking from the COW as
possible. When you have a spring
house it is best to have pans with
raised lids, holding from onehalf to
two gallons, with fine cause wire in the
top of the lid to allow the escape of
animal heat and impure odor contain
ed in the milk. About one gallon of
milk to each pan is sufficient. Never
agitate, or add fresh milk to this,
until all the cream has come to the
surface, which is usually from twenty
four to thirty-six hours, then remove
all the cream from the surface with a
skinner made for the purpose. The
cream is placed in a vessel to itself,
and the skinned milk, if sufficiently
turned, is stirred with a common Dip
per, which furnishes my table with as
nice buttermilk as any one could de-
sire. | usually save the strippings, or
last milk and pour up with my cream,
as the last milk contains the largest
amount of butter. The cream when
ready for the churD should never be
under $50 or over go to make fine
quality of butter. l use a thermome-
ter to test the temperature of my milk
or cream before churning. When your
cream is within this range it takes but
g few minutes to separate the butter
from the milk, but in proportion as
your cream is too warm or too cold, so
much more time will be required to
separate the butter, with an inferior
grain to it, than if churned at the
proper temperature. Be sure and new
er churn too long, or you will destroy
the grain of the butter. Milk when
viewed through microscope, the but
ter is enclosed in globules or sacks, and
when these are broken by churning too
long, the softer will be your butter.
Another great mistake that ladies make
in the winter time, the milk is made
two warm by setting it around the fire,
or adding boiling water to bring the
milk to the proper temperature, the re-
suit of this course is white spongy but
ter. When the cream is too cold it is
best to set your vessel containing the
cream in vessel of hot water unit
you bring it to the right temperature,
1t should never require over ten tc
fifteen minutes to churn when your
milk is at the temperature mentioned
above.

HON. E. L. GARDENHIRE.

We heretofore wrote an article on
the influence of fruits, and of shade
trees and shrubs. The subject is wor-
thy of further consideration. Let US
see how circumstancesaffect the human
race in different regions of the earth.
First, in the highest northern ATTITUDES
inhabited by man there are no vegeta>
bles except moss. The inhabitants
live entirely on flesh, oil and milk.
DIR. Comb, who was native of Scot
land, Travelled in Lapland, and found
no food there except flesh. oil, and the
milk of the Reindeer, which lived on
the scanty moss of that country. He
did not want vegetables, not even bread,
but ate flesh and drank pure oil with
the keenest relish. The people of that
country are degraded and have only
enough intelligence to preserve mis-
cradle existence. ~ -a
Between the tropics the people live
almost exclusively on vegetables
They, too, are semi-barbarians, and
know nothing of the refnements of
highly cultivated society. But for the
people of the temperate zones Provi-
dence has provided a mixed food OF
meats, fruits and vegetables. In the
far north, where they eat flesh and oil
exclusively, they are barbarians and
sometimes cannibals. Within the
tropics, man is barbarian and often q
cannibal. 1t is only in the temperate
zones, where the food of man is a mix
ture of meat and vegetables, you find
the highest type of man. In these re-
gions che has cleared, drained and fer.
tilted the country, and built towns and

machines innumerable; he has bull

there is no comparison between this and

will be one of the prettiest farming
