HOlstein - Cattle.

The Maine Farmer says that this
stock seems to be making its way into
many sections of the state. Farmers
seem to be searching for the best, and
are disposed to give this promising
breed trial. We venture to warn our
friends in Maine against taking much
stock in these falsely-named Dutch cat
tie. Like the Shorthorns, they are
adapted only to level and rich grass
farms, of which there are very few in
New England. They require the very
highest kind of keep and care, such as
Yankee farmers are not accustomed, or
as rule prepared, to give them. The
beef is not liked by consumers. The
milk, though abundant in quality under
proper care and feed, is very watery,
and much more of it is required to
make a pound of butter or cheese than
of any other breed of cows. Jersey
milk diluted thirty per cent with water
will average better in quality. For
producing milk already diluted for the
city trade this breed is unexcelled,
when properly fed and handled for that
purpose. They have been tried suffi-
GENTLY to prove that they are utterly
unsuited to average New England
farms.

Another Grass---Cabbage- Worms.

A. W., Worcester, VT, writes:
" Thanks for naming the English Bent
grass. 1t is getting to be quite COM
mon grass in this locality. But here is
another, stranger, that l should be
glad to know the name Of"
AS we could not make the grass out
we have sent it to botanical friend,
and will give his reply when received.
A. w. adds: CT tried the bran rem
edy for cabbage-worms. Before l had
gone over more than half the cabbage
patch, | concluded that if used it as
freely as formerly did the dry dirt, the
cost of the bran would be more than
the worth of the cabbages. Moreover,
the hens went through the garden and
ate the bran off the cabbage-heads.
concluded not to feed them that way
again"
Road dust is, in first cost, the cheap
est material to apply to the cabbage
worm. But if labor is of any value we
find bran, or rather shorts, the cheap
est, as it does not wash or blow off so
easy and is more effective. One
dollars worth will go over an acre of
cabbages. There is no cheaper food
for hens, and it is merit that it attracts
the fowls into the cabbage garden, as
while there they will pick up many
noXious worms and insects. The neat
est and most effective remedy is the
pyrethrum fy-powder. Five cents
worth used in "puffer" will go over
two hundred cabbages, but it has to be
repeated for every new brood of worms.

and the other half in the afternoon.
They would get exercise and sun,
and the yard would afford all needed
room for manure-making and storage.
We believe that if such yards were tried
by few enterprising men their advan-
tages would cause general adoption
of them by our dairymen. AT Cornell
University, Ithaca, n. Y, the practice
for years was to haul barn-yard manure
from Ithaca, about a mile away from
the farm, and uphill. 1t was found not
to pay. On the farm the manure was
better saved, but it was found to have
been poorly cared for and badly wasted
on leaky floors, in large uncovered yards,
or in overheated and fire-fanged piles.
This led Professor Roberts to build a
covered yard. He obtained better re-
suits in saving manure. The tramping
of the cattle on it packed it so that it
did not heat, the straw and other stuff
used as bedding absorbed the liquid
droppings, and the roof prevented wash
ing and teaching by the rains. The first
analysis of manure saved in this way
showed the following results, estimating
the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash at the current market price:

A Pretty Custom.

In some portions of Tyrol peculiar
and beautiful custom still prevails.
When a girl is about TO be married, be-
fore she leaves her home to 90 to the
church her mother hands her hand
kerchief which is called tear-kerchief.
1t is made of newly-spun linen and
has never been used 1t is with this
kerchief that she dries her tears when
she leaves her fathers house and while
she stands at the altar. After the mar
riage is over, and the bride has gone
with her husband to her new home, she
folds up her kerchief and places it, I'M
washed, in her linen closet on the day
of her marriage. Generations come
and 90. The young, rosy bride has be-
come wrinkled old lady. She may
have survived her husband and all her
children. All her friends may have
died off, and still that last present
which she received from her mother
has not fulfilled its object. But it comes
at last. AT last the weary eyes close
for long, long sleep, and the tired,
wrinkled hands are folded over the
pulseless heart. Then the tear-kerchief
is taken from its place and spread over
the placid features of the dead, never
to be removed until we are summoned
to come forth on the resurrection
morn.-Erchdnge.

OleOmargarine Notes.

According to the Boston Journals st.
Adams correspondent, our Franklin
county dairymen think that the opera
ton of the new oleomargarine law will
not help the price of the poorer grades,
and the tax is too slight to help the
better grades. The provision requiring
imitation butter to be branded as such,
they say, will do little good, because
boarding-houses and hotels buy the
fraudulent stuff knowing what it is.
This last is quite different from the
most of the talk previous to the passage
of the law, but the attempt to establish
an internal protective duty of ten cents
a pound seems to confirm the idea that
many have had no confidence in the
disinclination of the public KIN owingly
to use the imitation butter
When the English corn-laws, which
were heavy tax on imported food, were
repealed, all rural England thought the
agricultural interests of that country
were ruined. But experience proved
that agriculture prospered better than
ever. The free admission of foreign
food products compelled the English
farmers to farm so much better, and to
so improve their butter, cheese, beef,
mutton, ETC., that it took thirty years
before foreign countries could send to
England anything to compete with
them in quality and price. If oleo COM
petition has the like effect in improv-
ing Vermont dairy products, so that all
of our butter becomes of high grade
it will be the same here. People know
ingly eat oleomargarine only because il
is cheaper than good butter and tastes
better than poor butter. The remedy
is plain. There are many economies
on our dairy farms that need to be, ant
must be, learned. The compulsion o.
competition will teach many that butter
can be made both better and cheaper
than they now make it. Perhaps thu
mission of Oleo is to abate the sin o
making good grass into bad butter,

Dear Onions.

Onions promise to be 80 bushel,
and scarce at that, this fall. The white
onion maggot has been worse than
ever, while the old "greasy cutworm :"
has developed new taste for onions,
and has swept over the onion fields
all over the country, reducing the
yield greatly. But undoubtedly grow
ers will find remedy. Professor Riley
of the national department of agri-
culture believes that the onion crop can
be grown successfully, even in a
marked cut-worm season, by adopting
the following measures: As prevent
i've treat the land early in spring with
mixture of lime and ashes, preferably
wood ashes. This mixture should be
lightly spread over the land after plow-
ing, and narrowed in. If after the
seed is sown and the plants begin to
come up the worms appear and threaten
damage, employ the poisoned ball sys-
tenn, which, in brief, consists in placing
lhO IoWo, dt a ulotdiCC VI llllCCu
or twenty feet apart, small punches of
fresh-cut grass or other green plant:
cabbage leaves answer good purpose.
These punches of grass or green plant
should be previously sprinkled with
Paris green or London purple. Should
the worms still appear in great num-
bers by migrations from surrounding
fields, sprinkle the ground at night,
while the worms are at work, with a
dilute emulsion of kerosene. A Goshen
grower has used pure kerosene for kill
ing the worms, simply blackening, not
killing, the onion tips. The free use
of pure kerosene may injure the plants,
hence an emulsion is recommended as
safer and cheaper The kerosene is
emulsified with soap or milk in order
that it may readily dilute with water.

There's the Lords Answer.

Many years ago, when in my country
charge, returned one afternoon from
a funeral, fatigued with the days work.
After long ride, had accompanied
the mourners to the church-yard AS
neared my stable door | felt strange
prompting to visit poor widow, who,
with her invalid daughter, lived in a
lonely cottage in an outlying part of
the parish. My natural reluctance to
make another visit was overcome by a
feeling which | could not resist, and |
turned my horse's head toward the cot
tage. l was thinking only of the poor
widows spiritual needs; but when /
reached her little house | was struck
with its look of unwonted baroness and
poverty. After putting little money
into her hand | began to inquire into
their circumstances, and found that
their supplies had been utterly eX-
hausted since the night before. asked
them what they had done. CT just
spread it out before the Lord' Did
you tell your case to any friend?" sob
no, sir; naebody kens but himself and
me! | kent he would ma forget, but l
didna ken hoo he wad help me till l

At the Queens Table.

Frederick the Great, King of Prussia,
had palace at Shonhausen. One dav
Queen Elizabeth, the wife of Frederick.
was walking in the garden connected
with this palace. Her gardener had a
niece named Gretchen with him in the
garden. She was on a visit to her uncle.
Gretchen lived in the city of Berlin.
Her father was a gardener, too. The
queen talked with little Gretchen, and
was so pleased with her simplicity and
her bright and intelligent answers to
the questions she asked her that she
told her uncle to let her come to the
palace and make her a visit. SO Gretchen
dressed herself very neatly and went to
the palace at the time appointed. One
of the court ladies who knew about it
saw her coming, and told the queen,
who was then at dinner. The good
queen was much pleased to hear that
her little visitor had come. She ordered
her to be brought in at once. Gretchen
ran up to her kind friend, courtesied
to her very respectfully and kissed
her dress. AT the request of the queen
she was placed on chair by her side,
where she could see at once all the
splendid sights which the table pre-
sented. There was a large company
dining with the queen Lords and
princes and officers of the army and
ladies were there, sparkling with gold
and jewels. 1t was the first time this
innocent girl had ever seen such a sight,
and the queen felt curious to know
what effect it would have upon her.
Gretchen looked quietly upon the costly
dresses of the company, and at the
beautiful dishes of china and gold that
covered the table, and was silent for
awhile. Then, while all the persons at
the table were looking at her, she closed
her eyes and repeated, in simple,
touching way, this verse of hymn her
father had taught her:
(" Jesus thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are-rny glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall lift up my head"
The company was greatly surprised
and deeply moved. One of the ladies
said to the queen, with tears in her eyes,
Happy child. We thought she would
envy us, but we have much more rea-
son to envy her. "-The Fountain.

A subsequent analysis showed about
the same results, but little less of all
the ingredients, because less cotton
seed meal was fed. On this basis, the
savings of herd of twelve spring calves,
seven winter calves, one bull, twenty
four COWS, twelve horses and one colt
fifty-seven head in all-was valued at
S6l0 for five months. The first seasons
manure saved in this way was valued at
$1,6S4. 1t pays to shelter manure.

Covered Barn.Yards.

These have rarely if ever been tried
in New England, but we have often
wondered why not. A yard seventy feet
square, with rough stone-walls four
feet high laid in mortar, and timber
sides of the same height on top of them,
set full of windows, the whole covered
with rain-tight roof, would afford
yard-room for herd of sixty cows.
