THE British Journal, in an article
on the choice of clothes, which eXhib-
its much sense in most particulars,
takes it for granted that for protect
ion against extreme of heat from the
effect of direct solar rays, the texture
of the clothes is practically immater-
ial the protection in this direction
depends chiefly, if not entirely, in
color. White is the best protecting
color. For hot countries white is the
best next comes a light gray or dust
colored shade. While we are not
fully prepared to dispute this we were
much impressed by letter to an En-
glish paper by Captain Mayne Reid
in which he argues that dark clothing
is best suited for hot climates, and
white clothing for the Polar regions
We don't remember all his good
points, but one important example
cited by him as a natural indication
was the fact that the bears of the
North are white, and the bears Of
warmer countries are black Further
more, the fact that races in tropical
climates have very dark skins seems
to us a pretty good indication that
dark colors are the best protectors to
be worn in warm seasons and eli
mates. DR. Foote's Health Monthly.

The Model Cow.

is there such a thing as a model
COVE We often hear of her, but never
see one precisely like her. AS there
are no two leaves in a forest precisely
alike 50 there are no two cows in a
herd or no two COWS in existence eX-
actly alike; and when we think we
have a model, we find it an imaginary
type of perfection. A proposition
has been made that the Jersey Cattle
Club expend a part of its surplus in
examining a hundred of the best Jer-
sey cows in America, in measuring
the udder escutcheon, etc, and tax
ing accurate drawings of all the spec
ial points and general form of each
COW, and from these to select model.
1t would be as difficult or impossible
a task as to find living model of fe-
male worth and beauty in the human
race or any other living creature.
No agreement could be reached as to
which form of COW should be taken
as the model, for if the udder or the
escutcheon is to be accepted as sign,
there are large udders which give but
little milk pale-skinned cows which
are rich in butter yield; and immacu-
late escutcheons upon bulls oxen and
cows that are far from models III 9th
en- respects. 1t Is of no use The
model COW is the one which gives the
most milk and the most and best but
ter at the least cost. And every dairy
man must find his own model for
himself, and bring his herd up to it
by persistent and careful breeding,
and selection of the best Of the pro
duce. No breeder can breed model
cows. He may do what he can to
rerch as near as possible TO perfection,
but the perfect animal is but one in a
thousand, and it rarely reproduces 1t
self.
Cream varies in quality wonder
fully. To suppose that cream is
cream always, would be- a great mis-
take. The very nature Of cream
obliges it to act as filter TO the milk.
+ AS soon as the cream globules have
gathered into mass as they rise
from the bottom Of the pail or pan,
and begin TO ascend together, they
necessarily carry up with them any
thing that will adhere TO them or
whichewill arrest their upward pro-
gress. When, for instance, the milk
is ropy or contains strings Of adher-
ent matter, as pus corpuscles, or cells
from the mucous membrane Of an
udder affected by catarrhal garget, or
that is infiamed from any cause, all

with the cream-filtered from the

neer Store is still doing her share in the
way of making people happy.

Childstown Chit-Chat.

We are very glad to see that the agri-
cultural society has proved up" and
gotten its bends on the market.
Our Catholic friends here are contem-
plating the building of a church, and
the Lutherans meeting house. That
shows general intelligence, and a desire
TO improve society that is truly com-
fmendable. Messrs. VIM and John NJ.
Downer, of 97-55, who have lately ar
rived from Iowa. have each built a
fcommodious and neat house, one broth
er a nice large frame, the other a fine
stone building. Mr.. Rees, their neigh
Dor, an intelligent Scotchman, did fine
job of stone masonry. These buildings
are worth six or eight hundred dollars
each. These gentlemen are intelligent,
prosperous farmers, and are an impor-
tant addition to the township. This is
the township which the book agent and
school furniture man boometh. Verify,
the tree peddler is in she land, but he
representeth "home talent. Give all
others the G. b. BY the by, we see many
apple trees loaded with fruit, even out
on these mountains. Mr.. G. w. Mar
Fshall's are fine specimens. There is no
question but that we can raise fruit
here, for we have clay subsoil, which is
nicely adapted to fruit. Plums and
small fruit are doing fine. i have Con-
cord grapes fruiting for the first time
this season. We see that some of the
FARMERS in 97-55 do not take any county
paper. There are five to choose from,
but don't forget the Herald in making
up your choice. According to reports
Hurley pays the highest prices for pro-
ducts Of any of our county towns. Some
of our town people are putting out
flowers and trees, and otherwise trying
to beautify their homes. That's right,
for trees and flowers will well repay
you. Cultivation of the soil, trees,
shrubs, and keeping out of prairie fires,
add not only to the beauty and profit
of our township, but to its general
health. Our section of the county is
comparatively free from sickness and
disease, either among human beings or
animals, and | think every morning,
when l "rise with the sum-" and look
down upon the placid bosom Of your
classic lake, that shall live many
years longer, by reason of the beauties
that surround me. The only laughable
thing have seeu this week is in the
