Preparations Necessary 10 Change From

Preparations Necessary 10 Change From
the Old to the New system.
The present Is the time to begin
preparations for making butter in
winter. The first requisite Is that the
cows shall come in during the months
of September and October, and calcu-
lations must be made accordingly
The advantages Of changing from the
old system of summer dairying to win
ter operations are so great that many
of the most intelligent and progress
sive dairy farmers have adopted the
latter method. They thus escape the
daily and exacting labor OF the dairy
during the busy summer months, when
the general operations of the farm de-
mand the most attention. The cows
go dry during the sultry days of mid
summer. when the pastures are the
most parched and scanty There is no
butter to be kept over through the
hot season, when keeping it in good
order is the most difficult and prices
are the lowest. These and other ad-
vantages are greatly in favor of win-
ter dairying, which has been made
practicable by the modern improve
ments in deep setting, preserving sod-
der in silos. centrifugal separating,
etc. With this, as with other impor-
tant changes, it is the first step which
costs.
The first step, as indicated above, is
to hold the cows back so they will
come in during September of next
year. In the vicinity of butter fac
tory it is desirable that the majority
of the patrons shall agree TO make the
change, that the factory may be kept
| running through the winter. Those
who already have cows which will
come in next fall, or can buy them
must see that good shelter is provided
with plenty o. ensilage. means fol
taking the chill from. the drinking
| water, etc. 1t is idle to object to this
system as unnatural" for the cows

is an artificial product any how, which

breeding and care. 1t is only a steI

Between the economy practiced
from choice or a sense of duty, and
that which poverty or the force of
circumstances renders imperative,
there Is wide difference. The form
or possesses for some dispositions a
certain fascination amounting almost
10 pleasure; and even the latter, as
long as there is any thing at all to do
with. has a sort of compensation in the
feeling that the best possible has been
done with the means at hand.
We talk of human life as a
journey, but how variously Is that
journey performed There are those
who come forth girt and shod and

A Brazilian Custom Which Would Find No
aver IN This Country.
The typical American girl has often
been eensured for too great freedom of
manner. People disposed to eriticise
have declared that the social freedom
enjoyed BY her has detracted from her
modesty of mien. IF she is forward,
however. she may point to her South
American sisters as examples of an OPP
posite mode of culture. A traveller in
Brazil was one day entertained by
middle-aged couple, who led the con-
versation TO marriage.
The lady asked if the guest were pos
sessed of a wife. When he replied in
the negative. she enlarged upon the de-
lights of married life, saying, at the
same tine. that she had i've unmar-
ried daughters. This was broad hint,
which the visitor eou- d scarcely ignore
altogether He therefore expressed

appeared within a dark chamber. He

saying: The girls are not aceus-
toned to seeing strangers. and are
afraid"
The hostess thereupon disappeared
within the room, whence sounds Of
whispers and giggling presently issued.
When she returned she led a modest
looking girl of eighteen or nineteen
years, and was followed by three
others, all of whom seemed to be over
whelmed with intense shyness and
hysterical desire to laugh After
formal introduction they were hustled
away; and the key was once more

Description of Regulation Bear Hunt IN
Tapinnd.
A peasant generally goes out in
search OF n bears trail, and, having
found it, moves in ring some miles in
circumference. to make sure Of having
him within 1t. He then gradually con-
tsaets his circles, till he comes to the
retreat itself Of the animal. Weeks are
sometimes expended in this search; the
peasantry are then summoned to sSall
by the Landshoroding. or Governor of
the province, and put under the direc-
tion OF the jogmoestare, or ranger OF
the district, who mmshals them, and
commands their movements. The
peasants are generally formed into cir
cles. and come armed with Whatever
weapons they can procure. Though
opposed singly to whole host, the
bear often spreads havoc among his
assailants. Every ball that enters his
huge carcass but ndds fire to his fury,
and woe to the individual whom his
wrath has singled out It ceases to be
a mere pastime, and nothing but the
greatest self-possession can save him
from a miserable death.
While at Hernosand I saw a repre-
sentation of an event that took place at
skall in the neighborhood. in 1881,
and which shows that bear-hunting
must be quite equal to tiger-hunting in
excitement and peril. The bear on this
occasion was very large; nothing like
an American bear. with which an In
dian can grapple, but an enormous
beast able to carry OFF a pony under his
arm. His temper, probably never very
good, had been rulied by ten shots
lodged in different parts Of his body;
all present intrenched themselves and
awaited some desperate effort on his
part, should not lucSy shot through
the head speedily give him his quietus.
At this moment. a man. bolder than his
companions, advancing before them.
the bear rushed upon him. tore the gun
from his hands, and began to wound
| him with his tremendous claws.
The wretched man was unable to con-
/ tend with his muscular antagonist; al
| ready his wounds were letting out his
life. when young Norrlander. unable
to look quietly on. rushed to his assist
ance. Besides the danger which he
j himself incurred. and which. of course,
he had no feeling of, there was some
/ difficulty in shooting the bear without
I striking the man. As he advanced, the
bear rose on his hind legs to meet his
new opponent; his victim dropped be
fore him; the Norrlander seized the fa-
vorable opportunity, raised his gur

feeling more than sight, discharged hi:

agreeably so, at what he saw. The first
apartment entered was the large and well
lighted studio ON the walls of which was
displayed q large number of erayon por-

The work was in the best style of the por-

An Instructive Glimpse at Life in the Early
Colonial Days.
Every one went to church in the
colonial days of New England. Fami-
lies living at a distance from the meet
ing-houses came prepared to spend the
iutermission between the morning and
afternoon services in the s.Sabbath-day
houses
These houses. according to descrip-
ton published in Sanford's History of
Connecticut, were small log struct-
ures, twenty-five feet long, ten broad
and one story high. A chimney in the
middle divided the whole space into
two rooms. for the use of the two fam
lies who united in building the house.
The furniture consisted of few chairs,
a table, plates, dishes. and some uten-
sis for warming cooked food. On a
shelf were a Bible and two or three re-
ligious books.
In winter, on Sunday morning, be-
fore starting for church. the mother of
the family put up food for dinner, not
forgetting a jug. of cider. The family
rode in a large two-horse sleigh.
stopped at the Sabbath-house, kindIed
a fire, and then went into the cold
Westinghouse, where the minister
preached in an overcoat, with a muffier
about his neck, and mittens on his
hands.
The women carried heated stones in
their muffs, and the men drew bags
over their feet. No chronicler informs
US how the boys and girls managed to
keep warm during the long service.
At the conclusion of the morning
service, the family hurried back to the
warm room of the Sabbath house,
where they took their dinner and drank
their cider from pewter mug
Th2nlxs were then returned, and the
review of the sermon began. If the
sermon failed to furnish sufficient mat
ter to occupy the hour, chapter in the
Bible was read, or a few pages from {
religious book
Singing and prayer sent them to the
afternoon service in devotional frame
of mind, at the conclusion of which
they returned to the Sabbath-da,
house, extinguished the fire, locked th,
door, and started for home. Youtt'.

Among the ways which men en-

none is more common than an exhibi-
ton of their social connections. One
whose cousin is a Governor, whose
uncle is a General, whose brother has

well in society. Reputation is of the

There is wide gulf between youth

"You can't put an old head on young

expects continually that the young man
will be along saying, II didn't know it
