There has been in the past too little concentra-
ton in the education of girls. They have studied
too many things and perfected nothing. While
the course of study should not be limited, they
should pay particular attention to that art or
science or branch of industry where their tastes
and talents stand as signboard to point the way.
Success will depend almost entirely on the degree
of perfection attained and the degree of earnest
ness which is carried into the work. Whenever
you attain q reputation for superiority or thor
oughness, no matter what your calling may be,
you will never go begging for something to do.
There is nothing degrading in honorable work,
and the fact of being engaged in business, either
at home or away from it, should throw no shadow

ABOUT SOME AUTHORS.

1t is said that Fennimore Cooper became nov
elist through his wife's challenge. One evening
while reading a novel, he threw it aside saying,
81 believe | could write better book myself.
sLet me see you do it, y said his wife. In few
weeks he had written several chapters of ''Precau
tion,' which he published at his own expense. 1t
attracted little attention, but he continued and
wrote sThe Spy The wife's challenge -in-
tended, doubtless, to spur him to use the talent
she knew he possessed-made him the author of
thirty-two works of fiction, five more than Scott
wrote.
Hawthorne, too, it is said, was induced to write
"The Scarlet Letter" by remark of his wife.
Moliere used to read to his housekeeper portions
of the comedy he was writing, that he might learn,
from the effect they produced on her. whether or
not the piece would please the public If she
seemed to be unnterested, he did not charge her
with stupidity he erased the passage If she
laughed at it, he let the lines stand.
Sir Walter Scott read the hunting scene of the
"Lady of the Lake" to an old sportsman. ''He
will spoil his dogs" said the critic, and Scott pro-
flied by the criticism.
While ''The Pilot was passing through the
press, Cooper read portion of it to a shipmate,

shipman in our navy. When he came to the de-
scription of the ships beating out from the
"Devips Grip" his shipmate became restless.
Rising from the chair, he paced up and down the
floor. But in the midst of his excitement, he re-
tanned the seamans instinct. cts all very well,
my fine fellow, but you have let your jib stand too
long!" he exclaimed, as if addressing the pilot.
Cooper accepted the criticism, and blew his jb
out of the belt ropes.

When to Now Grass.

New York Star;
Every year the question arises
among farmers, "What is the best
time to NOW grass?" and much
light is derived from its annual dis
cussion in the agricultural journals
and otherwise. OF late years the
early cutting Of grass is coming into
vogue among the more intelligent
and experienced farmers. Here are
some facts touching the matter, as
regards timothy, which are timely
and worthy of note:
AS a result of careful chemical an
alyses of timothy at full bloom and
at subsequent stages of growth, made
at the Massachusetts, Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station last summer, the
following conclusions were reached I:
81. 1t was found that the amount of
water in timothy diminishes very
rapidly after the period of full bloom.
3. There is large increase in crude
fiber in late-cut timothy over that cut
at the period of full bloom. 3. AS
the grass approached maturity there
was a considerable diminution in the
per cent of sugars and an increase in
starch. 4. The proportion of albu-
minoids-the nutritious elements
to the other organic constituents di-
minished after the period of full
bloom; and in late-cut timothy the
albuminoids were much less digesti-
BILE than in that cut at the time OF
full; bloom. 5. The experiments Of
Professor Ladd show that the in.
crease in the quantity of timothy
after the period of full bloom was not
sufficient to overbalance the lower
digestibility of the albuminoids, to-
gether with the large increase in
fiber. 6. Professor Ladd concludes
that it is preferable to cut timothy
for feeding at the period of full bloom
rather than after the seeds have
formed"

Color of Cotton-Seed Oil.

The refining of cotton-seed oil is
now carried on to such a degree of
perfection, and so clear is the color
thus insured, that in using it for
adulteration of olive oil there is no
longer any reddish tint 10 indicate its
presence, which can only be proved
by chemical analysis. The extent of
this admiXture is sometimes found to
reach, and even exceed, seventy-five
per cent. One mode of really testing
for this adulteration is by the use of
nitric protoxide of mercury, the yell
low simple basic salt of this chemical
combination being employed. About
one-seventh to one-sixth of an
ounce of this is dissolved in a
cylindrical test glass, in about one
sixth to one-ffth of an ounce of nitric
acid. On this solution the oil to be
tested is poured in such quantity that
the test glass is about two-thirds full;
the two fluids are then shaken to-
gether for about five seconds, the
change in color being at once noticed.
Treated in this solution, cotton-seed
oil becomes dark brown or almost
black. but after short time the solu-
ton becomes colorless and clear. Pure
olive oil has agreenish or light yellow
tinge, while the solution under the
layer of oil assumes a dark red OF
brown color. Mixed with fifty per
cent. of cotton-seed oil, the olive oil
assumes in this process brick red to
a brownish red tinge, and mixture
of twenty-five per cent. makes orange
yellow TO red yellow. M Y Sun.

DAIRYlNG ON FAR!dG.
How / t Can BE Made Profitable ia More
Than One Respect.

Anuh Oho NthpcC'
Dairying and pasturing Lave b on
SO long considered rs on and the
same occupation that but few f rmcrs
will venture to engage in tie furncr
without first devoting large ortioh
of the farm to grass upon which the
cows may be allowed to Craze during
the day. When this method is changed
for that of feeding at the barn-yard,
it Is termed "soiling' the cows, Even
those who do not believe selling can
be done proiitably involuntarily prac-
tice the soiling method to certain
extent during the winter season, for
at that time the snow covers the
pasture ground and compels the dairy
man to prepare the food for the
cows and give them his attention in
the barn-yard. The principal objec-
ton to soiling is that is requires
q large outlay for extra labor,
yet there is rs much profit
derived from winter dairying as there
is during the summer The real benefit
is in the saving of manure, which is
the most important occupation on the
farm, and the expense of providing
long fences is done away with. Prac-
tical experiments show that by the aid
of the manure saved when soiling, o
sufficiency of green food can be grown
on small plat to feed quite a. number
of COWS, as we'll as to provide better
variety of food and secure greater
yields of milk and butter. Prof Stew
art, in his book on feeding animals,
mentions how to feed four horses and
seven cows for fifteen days on the food
grown upon forty rods of ground; and
he has estimated that forty rods of
ground will produce enough to equal
the summer feeding of one COW, but
sets aside half an acre in clover as the
allowance for COW during the sum-
mer This result is not the expert
ment of n single season, but
the work of fourteen years
devoted to soiling, by which
method the COWS give twenty per cent.
more milk than when kept on pasture;
and rye, clover, orchard grass, timo-
thy, green oats, and fodder corn, with
ground grain when required, compose
the daily diet. The system is one that
permits of the gradual accumulation
of wealth in the annual increased fer
tility of the soil, and though extra
labor may be necessary, yet it is more
effectuNl in operation, as it is not dis
tributed over q large space, conse-
quently there is economizing in haul
ing loads to great distances over the
fields. Selling may not be profitable
to those who have plenty of pasture
and large tracts of land, but it will
enable those having limited areas to
engage in dairying, when, by the
proper application of labor, they may
realize larger profits than those who
devote more land TO dairying but ad-
here to the pasturage system. -PhiIa-
