The Advantage Of Dairylug.

1t is proverb among farmers that
dairying enriches the land and the far
mer too. We have heretofore shown
how it is that the production of milk
does not exhaust the soil, and how i,
must necessarily continually improve it,
so long as the dairyman leeds some kind
of purchased food to his COWS, which all
do more or less. But although this may
be one result of this business. it is not
one that operates by itself without tbs
AID of the dairyman. Plums may fall
from tree into mans mo 1th; but he
must take care to he there with his
mouth open when the plum falls, or II
drops without advantage to him. And
80 the dairyman shonld have the credit
for this result of his business-first, be
cause he has the good sense
to choose it; next; because
he generally manages it we'll; then be-
cause the very nature of his business
compels him to he studious man, and
lastly because the nature of his business
is such that the study OF it makes him
thoughtful, and this makes HIM inQuir-
ing, and that induces him to gather him.
self together in meetings to talk over
his business and discuss it's intricate
points, and moreover te seek in papers
and books all the possible information
he can in regard to the conduct of his
affairs. Moreover, all these things make
him q sharp business man, and he stud
les the markets and suits his products to
the demand, and SO gets the iull value
of them. Being all this, and being con.
sequently prosperous, the dairyman
may very we'll be studied by the farmer
and bis ways and methods adopted as
far as they may be, for, being sound and
pra .tical, and moreover, successful,
these ways and methods will serve the
ends of the farmers as we'll as they have
done those of the dairymen.

SnOhhiSh.

When Gen. Grant was inaugurated
president, after his first election, it is
said that few families who had long
ruled Washington society combined to
exclude the new corners from their Cir
Gle. Tue official families were to be rec
ognized as officials; but socially, they
were to be ostracised.
The alleged cause for this sentence oil
Punishment was the fact that the pres
ident had once been tanner, and had
frequently been seen driving cart IN
the streets of St. Louis. A brilliant oall
was given by one of the leaders OF
fashion to which none of the new corners
were invited and the hostess took Occa-
sion to observe to a foreign minister who
was present.
1--WE may have to accept tradesmen
mechanics as our rules, but we are not
Oh iged to associate with them"
The remark was repeated widely. A
few days later paper was privately cir
culated, bearing the names OF nearly
all the American guests at the dinner,
with an appended note of their origin,
as
"Mrs. A-,daughter of blacksmith.
"Mrs.-,grandaughter Of a horse
"Mr. C-made his money by swind.
ling the Sioux" etc., etc.
The act was that of q vulgar and ma.
lignant nature. but one cannot deny
that the punishment was deserved.
Wealthy Americans now an lncreas-
ing to be ashamed of the shops Of their
fathers, and to affect disgust at trade,
and an exclusiveness which they i'm
agine belongs to the nohly born in Eng
land. They forgot that the me mory. OF
their low origin is kept alive by this
pueriIe vanity, while. If their bearing
was manly and simple, no one would re-
member. except in their honor, the OBJ.
stacles through which they, or their
fathers, have climbed upward.

Farmers Health.

An essayist discourse Of health of the
armer and his family. Many of the dis
eases classej as zymotic or contagious
are due TO dampness, dense shade and
general uncleauliness. Trees are ofte n
set too near the dwelling, and cellars
are mouldy and unventilated. Sleeping
apartments should be on the second
floor and on the sunny eide of the mouse
The best rooms are none to good to be
occupied by those who own them. Farm.
ers eat too much pork and potatoes and
too little chicken and fruit. German
and French housekeepers could teach
rs something about the economy of good
cooking. We use too much fried food.
too much sugar and spice, too many
Dies. Farmers eat TOO fast and work too
hard, and break down their constitu-
tons. Many wives are killed by over
work. while many become insane. There
should be less farm work in the house
rhe four prime requisites for good
health are pure air, proper food, suit
able exercise, aud plentiful refreshing
sleep. The farmer ABOVE all others can
nave these if he will.
