The True Gentleman.

The following sketch of the true
gentleman was found in an old manor
house in Worcestershire, England, writ
ten and framed, and hung over the
mantel-piece of a tapestried sitting
room:
The true gentleman is Gods ser
want, the worlds master, and his own
man. Virtue his business, study his
recreation, contentment his rest, and
happiness his reward. God is his faith
er the church his mother, the saints
his brethren, all that need him his
friends. Devotion his chaplain; Chris
tianity his chamberlain sobriety his
butler temperance his cook hospi-
tality his housekeeper Providence his
steward charity his treasurer piety
his mistress Of the house; and discretion
his porter, to let in or out as most fit.
This is the whole family, made up of
the virtues, and he is the master of the
house. He is necessitated to take the
world on the way to heaven, but he
walks through it as fast as he can, and
all his business by the way is to make
himself and others happy. Take him
in two words-a man and Chris
tian."

The Origin of SILK.

If we put trust in tradition there is q
legend that Tchin, the oldest son of ia
phet, father of the Asiatic race, taught
his children the art of preparing silk,
as we'll as the arts of painting and
sculpture. BE this rs it may, it is Ger.
tain that about three thousand years be-
fore the Christian era a Chinese book,
the Chou-king, described silken cords,
which were stretched upon musical
instrument, invented by the Emperor
Fo-Hi. One of his successors, Chin
Nong, reputed inventor of the plough,
explained to his contemporaries what
beautiful stutfs could be obtained by
the cultivation of the mulberry tree
and about the year 2600 b. c., an EN-
press, to whom grateful posterity as
signed place in celestial constella-
tion, perfected the art of unravelling
the cocoon and weaving. From that
time silk culture had its principal seat
near the northern portion of the Vel
low river, in the province of Chan
Tong. There was produced the silk
for The royal household. Yellow was
the chosen color for the emperor, en-
press and prince imperial, violet for
the other wives of the emperor, blue
f0f distinguished officers, red for those
less conspicuous, and black for every.
one else. In the boz of rites, Li-Ki,
the ceremonies performed at 'he har-
vest are carefully described. Even
the empress did not disdain to gather
the leaves of the mulberry with he
own dainty fingers and watched over
the rearing Of the busy toilers of the
| cocoon.
For long time this valuable indus
try remained the exclusive property
of the Chinese empire, but about the
third century before the Christian era
a military expedition from China bore
the results of its civilization to the
Occident. Silk became known in Pei,
sia and India and was at last brought
to Europe. The soldiers of Crassus.
lifty-six years before Christ, saw silk
en- standards among the Parthians, and
| q few wears later an immense rel1ri3I5n
of silk protected the spectators in the
Roman circus from the rays of the
sun. From this time the Romans were
always provided with the beautiful
textures which were the admiration
of their legions. Yet silk was still the
privileged possession of the rich, and
in the time of Aurelian, who flourish
ed in the third century, was worth
about forty times its present value.

Chicken CholorM

It is epidemic, characterized by a
diarrhoea, as rule, and very destruc-
tive to life( says the Journal Of AgrjcuI-
tUre), The disease is generally sud-
den in development. Fowls will lay
on one day and the next day be carried
off by the disease. Still it is not always
or frequently so rapid in its course.
We had previously examined the prem
ises where the birds had been kept
through the winter. and found they
were too crowded, twenty-five birds
roosting in a space about six by seven
feet and four feet high, in one corner
of dark and badly ventilated
stable, and believe the cause of the
disease to have been virtually blood
poisoning, induced by uncleanliness,
careless feeding and close. unventi-
lating quarters at night.

Wet Pastures,

One of the most serious obstacles in
the way of successful dairying is wet
pasture Land that is saturated with
water produces unwholesome herbage,
the grass is rank and sour, and some
times the herbage consists wholly of
sedges and other coarse plants that are
not easily digestible. Such food can
not produce good milk, and the milk
made from such food will not make
good cheese or butter. But very often
yhis coarse, rank food produces disease
in the cows. This is more especially
the case with yearlings and young cat
tie whose digestive powers are not
fully matured. Another injury results
from the use of such pastures. Vapor
is constantly arising or settling over
low wet lands, and the presence of this
vapor greatly affects the temperature.
Every farmer knows how frosts occur
upon such low grounds when higher
lands are free from them. Now, all
these influences seriously affect the
health of cattle feeding on such lands.
The vapor arising from them is loaded
with poisonous germs, which infects
the blood when they are breathed into
the lungs. The moisture which settles
down upon them is cold, and as it con-
denses into visible vapor this absOrbs
from the cold air various unhealthful
and injurious gases which are always
arising from the decaying vegetable
matter in the soil. Every one knows
more or less of what malaria is and
how it affects persons. Cattle are as
subject to these atmospheric poisons as
human beings are, and what we know
as malaria frequently produces dis
eases which cause wonderment and
surprise to tho owners of the sick ami
mails. So the cold which causes the
frost in these low places chills the ami
mails, and chill to a milking cow is
most apt to affect the udder first and
produce garget, at which again the
owner wonders, and for which he can
not account. Pregnant COWS suddenly
chilled in this way, especially by lying
down upon the ground, lose their
calves, and still again the owners
wonder how that can happen, when
every care, as he supposes, has been
taken of the animals. But such
things are caused by wet, undrained
pastures, and every farmer should by
every possible means remove such a
constant danger from his farm by
draining these lands This is the sea-
son for such work, and wherever it
