COOP HEIFER.-Mr. Editor with your
leave will state few facts about nv
COW. She is half Jersey and half native,
four years old the goth of October last
She came in the 18th of May, we COM
menced using the milk the 18th, we have
made to the first of January 1-2 months
lS7 lbs. of butter, sold and used quarts
of milk per day. She has earned in that
7 10 months $79,6l reckoning the butter
and milk at the same price as that Sold
She has not been dry day since she first
came in when 2 1-2 years old. On the 23d
of December. just three months from the
day she is to come in again, saved the
days milk it weighed 132 lbs. of strained
milk, on the 29lh | stirred the cream
from that days milk and had 1t lbs. of
nice yellow butter, strong weight. My
manner of keeping her since stablng
has been. first. good warm dry stable,
good early cut hay, one peck of beets in
the morning, two quarts of wheat bran
and one of meal at night You will see
from the feed that the quality of the milk
can be charged to that, l am OF the
opinion that there is bat little cream in
either bran or beet. l have card and
brush which l use every day. she is in
good flesh and very hardy and healthy.
Now give us your opinion of the COW and
her treatment. d. MCDONALD.
Swanton, VT,
IAnd our opinion is that she is an extra
COW, and more, that her owner knows it,
and cares for her accordingly. 1t will be
safe to double the quantity of meal, and
the extra yield of butter will, we think,
pay for the additional expense. How's

WINTER DAIRYING.-It depends much
upon the situation of the farmer, whether
he can run the most of bis dairyng to the
best advantage in summer or winter If
he has plenty of good, sweet ,pasturage,
nd poor moving and corn lands, he can
undoubtedly do best with summer dairy
But with poor, braky pasturage, and good
meadow and corn lands, we find the most
profit in having our cows new milk in
fall and early winter, and give them their
vacation when there is little to be obtained
from pasturaoe. 1t is necessary 10 feed
the cows generously in order to receive
good returns from them, but it is not
essential that their feed be mostly hay
Corn fodder and straw may make up Il
large part of their ration If corn meal,
middllngs. bran, or cottonseed meal be
added sufficient to 14ake up perfect food
for them. BY thus feeding, we are able to
utilize all of the C, arse fodder of the
farm to a winter dairy stock at fair
profit. We feed but little hay to our
mich cows, give corn fodder and oat
straw what they will eat, and three quarts
of corn and cob meal (corn ground with
the cob) with one pint of cotionseed meal,
twice day. The cows do we'll on this
ration, and it is quite as cheap as a feed of
hay and meal. A. w. Cheever regards
good early cut oat straw worth three
fourths AS much as hay to feed to dairy
stock as part ration. Our COWS give
quite as much milk when led corn fodder
as when fed upon hay. We fed about two
quarts of meal from corn ground upon the
ear daily to each COW, in the summer,
when in milk. On such feed our mature
cows made an average of 80 pounds of
butter last year. INV.

As warning to the advocates of the
free sale of oleomargarine we would
instance the butter from Holland, which
for many years In the past stood very
high in the London market, but which is
now rated very low by reason OF the
extensive adulteration with oleomargarino
oil, which the too thrifty Dutch have
lately been practising. For long time
Holland has been the largest foreign
customer for American oleomargarine oil,
and we only wish she could be induced to
purchase our entire manufacture. 1t is a
great pity to reduce the standing and
reputation of the American dairy by such
questionable methods as are pursued by
the Dutch.-An1erican Cultivdtor.

GIN. H. A. Powers of Braintree keeps
herd of forty-eight from each of which he
averages to make annually 275 pounds Of
butter. He says that for a number Of
years that there has not been one when
the average has fallen below $50 pounds.
Mr.. Powers keeps only ten COWS In any
one barn in the winter though they all
run together in the summer. He says
that the notion that as good an average
cannot be obtained with largo number
of COWS as with few is erroneous. A
man may get just as good results from
each cow In large herd. as in small
one, If they are only taken as good care Of.
Mr.. Powers also uses the old fashioned
small pans, though he says he has set of
the large ones in his garrett. After trial
the small pans have proved more profitable
to him than either the use of large pans
or deep setting. and he says that profit is
what he is working Vermont Farmer.

good, steady farmers boy or industrious

ments of a dandy Jack, with gold chain
about his neck, walking stick in his paw,

never make up the loss of kind father s

of brothers and sisters. These affections

Take heed lest ye fall into the "snare of

shame and disgrace, and then thrown upon
their own resources, TO spend their few
remaining days in grief and sorrow, while

will all that may be allured by his deceitful
snares, and many fair one to the shame
of his artful villainy.

FOURTEEN MIsTAK EST is a great
mi stake to set up our own standard of
right and wrong and Judge people accord
ingly,to measure the enjoyments of others
OF our own, 10 expect uniformity or opin-

and experience in youth, to endeavor to
mould dispositions alike, not to yield to
immaterial triaes; to look for perfection
In our own actions, TO worry ourselves
and others with what cannot be remedied,
not TO alleviate all that needs alienation as
far as lies in our power, not TO make al.
lowanee for the infrmities of others; to
consider everything impossible that we

finite minds grasp, to expect to be able TO
understand everything, the greatest of
mistakes is 10 live only for time when apv

BAD ENTHUSIASTICALLY all family and
ncighborhood troubles originate in bad
manners. Some one gives way to irrita-
tion and says something that is harsh eth
ar In substance or manner. and this pro-
vokes reply In kind. Thus the peace is
broken and after that the influences that
work to intensity and spread the quarrel
develop themselves with wonderful speed.
Or, one NEEDLES with what does not con.
Germ him, asks too many questions or makes
remarks that it is not his business to
make and he has no right to make, and
arouses jealouses and resentments. Nine
tenths Of the difficulties that occur would
have no beginning if every one would
make the effort persistently to be courte-
GUS at all times, and would always honor
thu principle of keeping strictly within
bis own line Of businessmen forgetting
to give soft, if, answer to those who
may venture to intrude over 1t.

which all other classes are exempt. .
1t ia perfect example of unequal
taxation. If special discriminating tax
of two per cent could DO taken from one
class OF men alone, one hundred per cent
could be taken from any man or class OF
men,"
This act of the New Hampshire
Legislature referred to express companies
only. The injustice is not the less because
it embraces more persons or corporations,
nor can it be considered the more Just
because they are exempted from local
taxation, for there is no equality of basis
on which to assess the tax. Two per cent
of gross receipts may be two hundred per
cent of actual property or profits, for the
profits of person or corporation is its
property or accumulation. But the
injustice of the act is perhaps the most
clearly shown in the section named (37)
which enacts that all county taxes are to
be assessed on polls alone. There is shown
the wedge well entered. by which all
property is exempt from all except town
or corporate taxation, and clearly points
to all taxation being on polls alone and
we wonder how such provision could
have secured such vote in the House if
the members knew what they were voting
for.
Now in this we have given the view of
n farmer. not OF lawyer; but the opinion
is a candid one arrived at after a close
attention to the subject, and if we are
wrong we shall no doubt be shown where
we are wrong, and that the scope and
effect of the law is not such as we
understand it to be; but we hardly see
how it is possible for us 10 so entirely
misunderstood the meaning of plain
English text. We have waited little to
see whether some ADLER pen might not
explain its intent and effect, but seeing
nothing, we cannot refrain from expressing
our fears to its working rank injustice in
its execution and of the great danger to
our equal rights which its provisions
contains.
Injustice is a keen and dangerous
weapon, no matter whether it be in
taxation by color of law or violence in
of law. Though one may hold
the weapon safely at one time no knowing
how soon its sharp point and terrible edge
may wound him who had but lately
welded it to his own advantage and to
others hurt.

Hired Girls.

EDITOR HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT.
At this late day I am not sure that I
remember the text of DR. Hoskins' article
perfectly, and perhaps had better keep
silent, after 'Maude Merton" has so we'll
spoken. But treating the subject lightly,
not to say tiippantly as has been done, will
only make the doctors keen eyes twinkle
the more, for he will value a woman,
argument as little as woman's notion.
and feel not in the least vanquished.
Could we not answer the question why
good help in farmers kitchens is so hard
to get, by asking another? Why is Dr..
Hoskins not hired farm laborer insscAd
of owner of Memphremagog nursery,
fruit, and seed farmp Perhaps he inherited
his farm, but if he did not, we can safely
say that he would be the owner of n farm
instead of hired laborer. He may have
begun by being "hired man" but what
sort of a man would he be considered If
he remained servant instead of master.
If woman has good abilities she will
cease to be another woman's "help," and
this will not be to the discredit of either
mistress or maid. 1t will not be because
two women in house cannot agree. A
woman has a right to rule her own house,
and her Kitchen girl" however intelligent
she may be has not chance to exercise
the creative faculty of the feminine mind,
that results or is ever striving for, the
symmetrical whole which constitutes a
home.
Home means more to a woman than it
ever can to man, therefore she will leave
another woman's home, where she is not
mental for home of her own even IL a
poor one. AS to the poor class of bred
girls, they are poor, worse than no help at
all, and what overworked farmers wives
are going to do don't know. Wonder il
simpler style ofliving than now prevails
would not make matters less complicated
