the usual output, according to the season.
The butter-milk is of course utilized.
The working system is as follows: Each
patron uses the Cooley milk pail. The
cream is tested and paid for, according to
its value, on tickets. These tickets are
cashed monthly at the office of the cream
cry. A correct book account is kept with
each patron, and all get the same price per
season for cream Of the same standard of
test. The utmost neatness is observed
throughout, and the operatives are all ex-
perus.
The advantages are: the butter is of bet
ter quality and more uniform than can be
procured in small dairies, and sells for a
higher price; it saves much labor on the
part of each individual dairyman; and the
dividends or net proceeds are greater than
would result to individuals acting alone,
because the aggregate expenses are much
less. There is cooperation, a division of
labor, and an equitable distribution of the
profits. .-Inder-Appeal.

Mother Goose.

Mother Goose's maiden name was Eliza
beth Foster. She was born in Charles
town, Mass, in 1886, and married Isaac
Goose, of Boston, in 1868. She was his
second mate, and began her maternal life a
step-mother to ten children. She added
six more to that number. Think of it'll
Sixteen goslings to a single goose. Is it
any wonder that she poured out her feel
ipgs in the celebrated lines:-
"There was an old woman who lived in shoe.
She had so many children she didn't know
what to do!'
Yet her family cares sat lightly upon her,
and she survived Father Goose many years.
Still, she staid by her nest and led and fed
her flock until they were able to swim by
themselves. One of her daughters married
Thomas Fleet, printer by trade, with
whom she went to live and insisted on BE-
ing nurse to his children, and there she
lived aDd sang from morning until night
up stairs and down stairs,
And In my lady's chamber"
Thomas Fleet sold songs and ballads at
his printing Office, and one day happy
thought struck him. So, while she sat in
her arm chair or shuffled about the house
lost in sweet dreams, he carefully wrote
down what he could of her rhymes which
fell from her lips. Soon he had enough to
make volume. These he now printed and
sold under the title of 'NIother Goose Mel
odies for Children. T. Fleet, Printer
Pudding-lane. 1719. Price, two coppers."
The Rev. J. M. Manning, D. D., formerly
pastor of the Old South church, Boston, at
festival not many years since spoke very
truly, to my mind, when he said ''Not
Homer or Shakespeare is so sure of immor-
tai fame as Mother Goose. Considering
the love in which her melodies are every
where held, their freedom from anything
which might corrupt or mislead the infan-
tile mind, their practical wisdom, their
shrewd mystery and motives Of human con-
duct, one is in all soberness forced to ad-
init that her name is among the brightest
of the jewels which adorn the brow Of the
Old South. Let US hope that the day is not
far distant when a memorial statue will be
erected to this venerable lady in one of the
parks or squares of Boston,"

If there is anything in this world that we
hate to see, it is solemn, long visaged,
graveyard christian, one of those fellows
who think their piety is measured by the
length of their countenance, and who make
you sneeze if you look at them second
time. A man does not please God more by
eating bitter aloes than by eating honey.
A cloudy, foggy, rainy day is not more
heavenly than day of sunshine. A funer-
al march is not so much like the music Of
angels as the song of birds on May morn
ing, and the man who is a perpetual icicle
is not the one that the Lord can use for
any good purpose in this world, and we
have puzzled our brain. in vain to find out
what use he can make of them in the next.

Edward Hersey, in Mirror and Farmer.
Because college does not teach a hoy how to
hold pillow and dig a posthole better than his
father can, it should not be condemned it is the
business of the farmer rather than the college,
to teach these things. The college is established
to teach the students advanced practical ideas,
that, as yet, have not become familiar to the
common farmer; so il becomes the duty of the
professors to teach the students the condition of
the soil that is best adapted for the growth of
the different crops, rather than the particular
manner of holding the plow; the different ele-
ments and the different properties of plant food
III different kinds of manures, rather than the
particular manner of loading it into the cart;
the nature of a tuber and the best method
of preparing it FOR planting rather than the par
ticular method of digging potatoes; the nature
and amount of animal food in an ear of corn
Their than how to husk it. The first duty of the
colleges Is to teach the minds of the scholars;
this may be followed bv training their hands, es-
pecially in the performance of such work as
they cannot be trained in at home Because our
colleges not just what we think they ought
to be we should not try to tear them down, but
we should exert ourselves to build them up and
improve them until they become as near perfect
as possible We must remember that perfection
is not found among the works of man. It should
also be remembered that agricultural colleges
are new institutions, therefore they open new
field to explore.
1t is very difficult to find the proper men to fill
the different Offices of the college. 1t requires
time for men to properly fit themselves for the
new duties, but if we will be patient they will,
in time, come up to the required standard.
There can be but little doubt that the farmers,
when they fully understand the objects oe our
agricultural colleges, and fully realize the
sty of giving the coming farmer higher educa-
ton than the present have, will undoubtedly ex-
ert themselves to place the colleges where they
will be in condition to do well the important
work assigned them. Because every student
that graduates from an agricultural college does
and become rich, we should not get mad and try to
kick the institution over; it must be remembered
that we live in free country, where each man
follows the occupation that seems to offer him
the best opening. and it should not be forgotten
that the money to support the colleges comes
from all classes

Converting corn into Pork.


Farm, Field and Stockman.
Pork and corn seam to be inseparable articles
But unless the corn is properly fed the pork will
be expensive. Corn and pork only go together
when it is desirable to fatten the hogs If corn
is used in any other manner. or for different
purpose. the pork becomes a very expensive
product We do not advocate feeding corn in
the summer to any class of stock, and expert
ence shows that while it is invaluable to the
pork-raiser, and the most convenient article he
can use pork can De produced more cheaply
when the corn is fed in judicious manner
Many farmers, though aged, do not know
that clover hay can be fed with advantage
to hogs, and yet such Is the fact We have long
separated the hog from all other classes or STOCK
and denied him the privileges of being fed on
grass, cut hay. ground oats and other food that
is more acceptable to him during mis- growing
period than corn, and the consequence is that he
fails under the long-continued diet of corn, and
becomes susceptible to diseases that were before
unknown. To keep the steer stuffed with dry
corn which is a concentrated food, and deprive it
of bulky provender and pure water, would cause
it to succumb in very short time, yet this is
just the treatment the hog Is compelled to under
go, simply because corn is king" and supposed
to be cheap, when the fact is that when fed
under such circumstances 1t Is very ccssly.
What the hog requires is a variety, including
bulky food, and corn will then perform IA i'm
portant service

hold that the negr,S of the United States is
not at all likely to emigrate from the land of his
birth in the vain hope of placing himself in more
favorable circumstances than those which sur
round him here. Those who indulge the dream
that he will betake himself to some region of the
earth VIII ere he can build up nationally of his
own color mistake his character, and are sure to
meet with disappointment He is here, in the
land of his birth. the land of freedom and equal

tempt of the vulgar and the persecution of the
proud l am also certain that in proportion as
the negro qualities himself by education and re
finement to share the privileges and amenities of
cultivated society. he will find the color of his
skin no bar to these advantages. Gradually
bat surely the vulgar prejudice of color will
fade out of the hearts and minds of people of
culture. and black skin, no more than red hair
or blue eyes, will be regarded badge of social
inferiority. Nor do shrink from avowng my
belief that when this day arrives marriages be-
tween whites and blacks, ii they do not become
common. will be far more frequent than they
are now. without exciting either wonder or OPP
dosition. Ignorance whether among citizens of
a white or black complexion, will always be q
source OF danger to the country; but | am con-
fident that the day is not very distant wien the
negro will be useful and valuable factor in the
hody-politic. His advancement will not be the
fruit either OF concession or self-assertiou ex-
clnsively but of a wise resort to the one or the
other method. as circumstances may require
We may in this particular safely confide in his
own Judgment and tact, which have been so

respectable family, but it has not long been en-.

family that was ever ennobled and the title of
countess was given her by the father of ex-Queen

maid TO her daughter. When Isabella assembled
