How to Buy and Sell.

One great secret of success in dairy
ing is the adoption of the principle of
buying at wholesale and selling at re-
tail. This is a common business prin-
ciple that every farmer should be able
to see the necessity for adopting in all
his doings. This simply means that
when you are obliged TO buy any thing,
wheat, bran or oil-cake meal. be sure
and prepare for it beforehand. Save
up your money so as to be able to make
your purchase by the ton instead of by
the hundred weight. When you come
TO sell follow out the same business
principle and sell at the highest price
that your situation and circumstances
will admit of. This does not necessari-
ly mean that you sho0ld have individ-
ual customers TO consume the butter or
cheese you make; this can usually be
done to better advantage by commits
sion men, but see that you get the best
price that your goods are worth in the
market. 1t is well enough for you to
be modest in regard TO the quality OF
your make. but ~ the same time you
are entitled to what IL will fetch. IL
rarely does harm to kick. while the
man thai Is too good -natured to kick is
just about sure 10 be imposed upon. -

FARM AND FIREslpE.

1t Is noticeable that the season
gets somewhat of its complexion from
the farmer--the good farmer has few
bad seasons, and the poor farmer has
few good ns.-American Agricul-
turist
Nothing on farm is more valuable
than well-cured hay, and it should be
fed to stock instead of being sold. The
price usually obtained for hay in the
market &c less than its real feeding
value.
Graham Cake: One cup of brown
sugar, one cup of sour cream, two eggs,
two cups of graham flour, one teaspoon
full of soda, u little salt and cinnamon
If liked. If the cream is not sour use
less soda. DO not stir too stiff.-.De-
troit Free Press.
Colts should have the run of yard
or better, a small field for exercise
each day, although kept in warm quar-
ters at night. A colt handled and fed
in this way will make u satisfactory
growth and remain in perfect health.
Country Gentleman.
Cutting down thistles that are just
bursting into bloom is labor thrown
away. The same work month previ-
Gus would have accomplished much to-
ward preventing growth next year.
Now they are sown broadcast. A cut
in time saves more than nine in work
of this kind.
DO not walt until the ground sh all
have been frozen over before putting
rough shoes on the horses, as they may
be injured should the ground become
slippery. Blankets should be procui ed
now, and the stalls put in order for
winter use by covering all cracks and
crevices.
Potato vines contain large amu ant
them evenly on the ground and plow
them in. If dug by hand then bury
the tops as you dig. This is cheaper
and easier than to draw them in, COM
post them and draw them out again,
all of which adds nothing TO their
value. as they quickly decay when
buried.

Porous Earthen-Ware Floors.

A writer in one of the technical
journals advocates porus earthen-ware
floors as preferable in certain respects
to those of wood, brick, stone, or tiles,
especially if raised above the ground
on wooden joists, as they should be, in
order to avoid taking up the moisture;
if laid directly on the ground they
must be asphalted on their under side.
1t is urged that their non-conductivity
to cold, on account of the cellular air
spaces which abound throughout their
structure gives them peculiar ad-
vantage over the other materials
named, which when not covered, are
SO cold to the feet. The surface be-
comes as hard and durable rs stone
when properly cemented, that is, when
the wares are first thoroughly wetted
before the cement is applied to them;
it will then be Il long time in setting,
and becoming thus thoroughly incor-
porated with the wares, insures per-

THE DAIRY.

Bean straw, cut just before ripen.
ing, but when the beans are formed,
and steamed, makes q fine food for a
COW.
When you breed up your herd your
neighbors will soon want to buy some
OF your stock. Breeding up pays in
several ways. Western Rural.
Feed sweet and nutritious food to
the COWS at all seasons of the year.
Musty hay, and off favored food are
not the material out of which to make
good milk and butter.
Many man would learn heaps
about the needs of calf If he could
study the attentions of an experienced
and intelligent mother to her baby.
The calf is baby, and if we expect it
to mature properly, it must be properly
cared for and fed in way that will
furnish it the material to make growth.
"A practical test will convince the
dairyman who has tried it that his
COWS are capable of consuming and di-
gesting much larger amount of food
than the usual allowance. Expert
ments of this kind will soon denote
which of the cows pay best by noting
whether the excess of food is converted
into increased quality of milk or into
flesh.
BE sure to take from the udder
every drop of milk that the COW gives.
Nature responds to demand. If you do
not demand the milk she will shrink
the mass accordingly. She will not
work for nothing. Call on her for
every drop and she will keep up the
flow. She is generous to our needs
when nationally manifested, but quick
to take advantage of our neglect. Milk
clean.-St. Louis Rambler.
The vices OF COWS are often the re-
suit of bad management. A heifer
may be trained to become gentle COW
or she may become refractory. Milk
ing is relief and pleasure to cows
that fill their udders quickly, and they
will not offer resistance to the mixer,
but if the milking is done in u rough
manner, or the COW is kept in a condi-
tion of excitement, the work is re-
tarded. The proper milking of the
cow is as important as any other work
in dairying.

A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
Some of the Prominent Chara o. teristics OF
tho Late Maria Mitchell.

the Late Maria Mitchell.
From an open letter on Maria Nit
chell, the astronomer, by Anna. g.
Bracket, in the Century, we quote the
following: "Nothing was more char
acteristic of her than the way in which
she accepted the position and the sal
ary offered her, without ever thinking
to inquire whether the salary was the
same as that given to the other pro-
fessors. Il was the chance to work
that she wanted, the chance for in
huence in one of the first colleges for
women. The money she was to re-
ceive was a minor consideration, and
quite as characteristic was her indig-
nation when, after being there for n
considerable time, her attention was at
last called to the fact that she, u ma
ture woman, with European fame,
was receiving salary less than that
paid to some of the professors who
were young men, almost entirely with
out experience. and quite destitute of
reputation. The indignant protest,
which then called for an equal salary,
was not q personal affair. She famed
out in behalf of all women, and of alb
stract justice, with glow which
forced an immediate increase in salary.
The excuse for this injustice must be
found first in the fact that, at the time
when Vassar College was established,
women had not proved what they can
do in professional lines, and, second, in
the very conservative influences which
guided the policy of the institution. In
her religious belief Maria Mitchell was
attached to one of the so-called liberal
sects. The children of the old Quaker
families of Nantucket generally went
over to the Unitarians if they departed
from the strict faith of their fathers. so
that in this matter also she was almost
if not quite alone at Vassar. But she
was appointed on the ground of her
reputation as an astronomer, and for
tunate was it for the college that the
question of her religious belief was not
raised till after her appointment.
s'The absolute truth which, as / have
said, was the keynote of her character,
could not fail to make her teaching
thorough, for a love OF truth is one and
the same, whether in the intellectual or
the moral sphere. But, as with all
true teachers, it was the force of her
personal character that acted most
upon the young women with whom she
came in contact. No one of them but
was lifted and strengthened by her
strength, sincerity and single hearted
ness. 1t was difficult for her to use di-
plomacy in ever so small degree, and
what skill in it she did gain was the
outcome of long years of experience,
and she never employed it without
mental protest. She gave the New
England stamp to whatever thing she
touched. and the lines of influence she
has left on many characters are as in
delible as those on the rock surfaces OF
New England's granite hills"

THE GOLD DOLLAR.
According to n Banker Bangles Have Cap
tured the Little Coin.


A New York banker: "In this spec
ulative age little difficulty is encoun-
tered in literally procuring So for 81,
if the fortunate man only happens
to possess the right kind of a dollar.
1t was common saying, not many
years back, to speak of a conservative
business man, not inclined to specu-
late, as being so cautious that he would
not pay more than eighty big copper
cents for a small gold dollar. Nova
days a man can walk into bank with
yellow gold dollar and exchange il
for from $1.50 to 81 in white silver, red
copper or crisp notes.
1.-The fair sex, as rule, is not given
to speculation. Nevertheless it has
actually, unintentionally perhaps. and
dollars. The craze for bangles has
about ended, but only for the reason
that the women of America are carry
ing almost the entire gold dollar cur
rency of the country upon their necks,
arms, fingers and ears.
I'm Mdrcn d, lofJ, une OHlueu otdteS
Mint was authorized by law to coin 81
gold pieces. The weight of the coin
was to be 25.S grains, and the degree
of fineness was fixed at 900. The same
year the first gold dollar coin was reg
istered, but from the beginning it did
not meet with popular favor because
of its inconveniently small size.
"Along in the fifties the coin was
made of larger diameter but thinner.
During the war but little gold was cir
culated, and upon the resumption OF
specie payment the small gold coin was
not received as we'll as the silver cart
wheel of the same denomination. So
apparent is the objection to the gold
dollar as circulating medium, that
for the past decade its coinage has
virtually been suspended, except the
issuance of a few special copies each
year. "-Jewelers' Weekly.
