HOW TO IMPROVE OUR YOUNG WOMEN.

A primal defect in our social life is the
notion that girls have nothing to do. Boys
are brought up to some employment, but
girls to none, except where pecuniary want
compels them. The family that is "well
off " has busy boys and idle girls. The
young man, after eating his breakfast,
starts out to his daily occupation and re-
turns at the close of the day. The young
woman, after eating her breakfast usually
at late hour, saunters about in quest of
amusement. Novels, gossip, shopping flor
unnecessary trihesl, dressing in three or
four different costumes, formal visiting,
drawing (if able), and lounging, are the ele.
ments of the young woman's day. In the
evening, by way of recreation (i), she goes
to the theater or ball. This unequal dis
cipline of the sexes is the basis of innumer-
able evils. 1t makes the girl careless and
selfish it turns her mind to personal
adornment and other frivolous matters as
the great concerns of life it takes away
the sense of probability, and produces fee-
bleness and disease in her physical consti-
tuition. 1t also prevents her from asserting
her true dignity in the eyes of man for
the life of utility is alone dignified. Wo-
men thus brought up in Incidence are
looked upon by men very much as were
the women of the old dark times of the
world, as mere playthings, expensive toys,
not as as counselors and friends. Mar
riape in such circumstances belongs to
a low, sensual plane, and the girl
Is prepared neither in body nor mind for
the serious responsibilities and lofty duties
which marriage implies. Her training,
moreover, or lack of training, has made it
necessary for a long purse to apply for her.
Economy, helpfulness, co-operatien-these
are not coming to the new household from
this vain source. Dresses, drives, enter
tainments-these will form the staple de.
mands on the young husband. According
ly, in city life, where this class of young
women is chiefly found, a young man is
greatly to his hurt often kept from marry
ing by reason Of its costliness, whereas
society should be SO ordered that marriage
would help the larder and not beggar it.
We want simplicity of life, frugality,
modesty, industry, and system. II We
could introduce these virtues in our higher
society, we should diminish the despair,
envy, jealousy, dissipation, and suicides OF
the single, and the chickering's, wretched-
ness, and divorces of the married. Let
our girls have as regular daily duties as our
boys. Let idleness be forbidden them.
Let recreation be indeed recreation, at
proper times and in proper quantities Let
US open more numerous avenues OF female
industry, and let every woman be clothed
with the dignity Of q useful life. Can such
a reformation be brought about? My dear
madame, begin it yourself. Rule your
household on this principle. Have the
courage to defy fashion where it opposes.
Be bold leader in this reform, and YOU

ANTS WITH WINGs.-The Marysville
appeal Of October 3Oth SAYS

About 10 o'clock on Sunday morning
when the sun was shining brightly, swarm
of winged ants filled the air at the corner
of d and Second streets. There seemed to
be thousands of them on the wing. They
had all emerged from tiny hole in the
sidewalk. The bodies of the ants were
black and very small. The wings were
white and twice as long as the body. The
wings could be seen to fall from the insects
while they were still in the air. Professor
| Charles Lucas, one of the closest observers
among the naturslists of northern Califor-
nia, says that all ants have wings at GER
tain stage of their existence; that by
means of these they migrate, and that
when the insects have huttered far away
from their parent nest the wings drop off,
and they are compelled to make for them
selves new habitstions, remaining creeping
| insects for the remainder of their days.

Wisconsin cheese factories ropon

-Weedy pastures make poor and
bitter butter. When pasture is in a
very foul condition it should be plowed
and planted with some hoed crop.
"A quart of good milk should weigh
about 2.15 pounds, or nearly two
pounds two and one-half ounces. II
milk is weighed, this rule will give the
monthly yield in quarts more exactly
than measuring.
Every cheese factory should have
what every cheese factory has not got,
shed over the delivery door so that
the wagon is out of the rain. There
should be shed long enough to cover
several of the teams, and there should
also be rules requiring the teams to
come in line, and posts planted so as to
compel this order. 1t will save great
deal of quarreling and providing to get
in first. especially on rainy day.
When you select your calves to

Mr.. A. w. Cheever, editor of the NesU
England Farmer, and practical dairy
man, recommends that wooden milking
pals be discarded entirely, unless the
wood is completely filed with shellac
varnish, or some substance that will
make the surface about as hard and i'm
pervious as glass. Common paint is
Objectionable at any time, besides, it
soon wears of, leaving the wood ex-
posed to the drying influence of the air.
Tin is probably the best material for
milking pals, and, while new and
bright, answers well for setting the
milk and holding the cream. After
the tin becomes worn off, so the iron is
exposed, sour cream Is liable to be af-
fected unfavorably by remaining in con-
tact with it. With careful usage good
tin utensils will last in good condition
in the dairy for long time. But for
churns, butter-workers, trays, ladies,
and stamps there is nothing equal to
good, clean, hard wood, thoroughly
soaked before using; and this thorough
wetting is of more importance than
some may suppose.
Cold water is just as good MS hot, If
time enough is given it to penetrate the
wood, but hot water takes hold of the
wood much quicker and is therefore to
be preferred. His own methods he
gives as follows:
s'Our rule would be to wet every
wooden utensil used in the dairy, first
in hot water, to save time in swelling
the wood, and then in cold, to bring 1t
down to suitable temperature to use.
Care should also be taken to keep the
wood wet at the time 1t is in use A
butter-worker set away for short
time, with the butter in it, will dry at
the edges, and unless again wet before
using, will be likely to absorb the but
ter when brought in contact with it.
Whenever butter sticks to wood, the
wood is not in fit condition to use, and
the chances are that it can never be
quite thoroughly cleaned again. Look
at any piece Of dry wood through
magnifying glass, and it will be found
full of deep cracks and holes. Now,
let grease once get well into these
crevices, and it is there to stay. Wash
ing cleans the wood to the surface, but
swells it at the same time, and thus
shuts in the grease which is deeper in.
Our practice for many years has been
to wash the churn and other wooden
dairy implements, wipe dry, and then
place where they will come to the air,
but not where they will become very
dry. A clean churn does not require
much drying. On no account whatever
should any wooden butter utensil be set
in the sun to dry. The wood will be-
come warped, the joints start, and
leaky, shrinking old churn" will take
the place Of what might, with proper
care, have lasted and remained sweet
score of years. Dairywomen often
complain because their butter stamps
and cups check or split after little
use, SO as to become worthless. A but
ter stamp should be washed and scalded
after use, and then put away damp,
and where it will keep damp until
wanted again. Any wood used for
handling sailed butter will soon be
filed with brine, and there is no neces-
sity Of drying it through and through.

look upon butter-making as one Of
the fine arts. No man or woman can
make good butter without the sensitive
ness Of good taste to recognize what
constitutes the excellencies of butter.
AS butter comes to me, and / sell it
for twenty or twenty-five cents pound;
BIS sells a little higher; Cs higher still;
while DIS brings thirty cents regularly.
l have been in diaries where the flavor
and working of the butter was excel
lent; but it goes down into the cellar
and stands several weeks before it is
sent to market. There is hole in the
cellar wall where the air constantly
enters; the temperature is constantly
changing, and the butter changes, too,
or gets tainted. II farmers will make
their butter well, then put it where il
will keep, it will do much better in
the end. Perhaps the soil of man 8
farm is low, springy and wet, then the
feed will be sour, and you cannot get
nice butter out Of that, either dairy or
creamery. The flavor of the butter de-
ponds largely on the flavor of the feed.
In order to make fine butter in the win
tertime, the utmost cleanliness must be
observed; must wash the cows udder in
warm water and dry with cloth. If
the atmosphere is bad, your milk will

stances whether it is safe to set your
milk down in an improperly cleaned or
IN improperly ventilated stable. As
soon as the milk comes to the exact
of the surrounding air, it
absorbes the impurities therein. Aus
