AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND
LAZINESS.

1 hear the farmers complaining to-
day Of high tariffs, and it may be
that they have a right to complain :;
still no tax on iron was ever so great
as the tax he pays who leaves his
mowing-machine unsheltered in the
storm. The tax on land is high; but
he pays higher tax who leaves his
meadows to grow up to white-weed
and thistles. The tax forgood roads
is high; but a higher toll is paid by
the farmer who goes each week to
town in mud knee-deep to his horses.
There is high tax on personal
property; but it is not so high as the
tax on time which is paid by the
man who spends his Saturdays
lettering about the village streets.
All the farmers income arises from
the wise use of his time One-sixth
of his time means one-sixth Of his in
come. If he had learned to make use
of his time, all other ills will cure
them selves.- President D. S. Jordan
in the October Reform.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1891-10-01

And, lastly, natural love for the
dairy is essential, as l believe no man
or woman can make first-class but
ter without this love for the calling.
Every successful dairy man or wom-
an must throw his or her entire tai
ent and time as far as possible into
the work, making it study, reading
dairy works, talking dairy talk, COM
pairing notes with other dairymen
whenever opportunity offers, always
trying to climb to the very tip top of
the ladder.
So shall this world be redeemed
from old soap grease, and battle in
the sunshine of pure uncolored, I'M
adulterated, genuine, sweet aromatic
butter.

BETTER COWS FOR THE DAIRY.

The wisdom of having better COWS
in the dairy is generally conceded,
yet it seems that farmers have not
become very widely impressed on the
importance of the subject. Prof.
Cooke states that the average
yield per COW yearly in this state is
only 80 pounds butter, while there
are thirty diaries that average over
800 pounds per COW. The dairy
commissioner of Iowa is reported as
saying that the average COW in that
state gives but 5000 pounds Of milk
annually, while good ones yield from
5000 to 5000 pounds. The direc-
tor of the New York station says;
New York has 1, 100000 mich COWS,
probably producing on an average
less than 5000 pounds of milk per
year, and the annual average butter
product per cow for the state is I'M
doubtedly less than $50 pounds
This should not be when there are
whole herds averaging 800, and
some 400 pounds of butter per year
for each COW. Animals producing
these by no means phenomenal yields
are not confined to any particular
breed, and are often grades of our
so-called native or uo-breed animals.
Proper selection, systematic breed
ing, and judicious feeding have pro-
duced these profitable animals and
herds.
Why not keep better COWS? And
right here is another illustration of
hevalue of account to farmers, from
the Breeders Guide:
ut is so often necessary to work
over hours in pleasant weather that
when rainy day comes in summer
the farmer may proftablv devote it
partly to intellectual improvement.
He can at least then take time to es-
innate carefully what needs to be
done and plan as to the best way of
doingit. This will require study and
prove the best possible intellectual
exercise. 1t atleast requires as much
executive ability to keep everything

S574 IS
Profit on crop
1897 "a

Three hundred and thirty-seven
dollars and seventy-four cents is a
handsome profit for S5s acres. Why
any of the western states, Kansas
for instance, with quarter of the op-
pOrtunity the above account affords,
would have had within six days
after the last turnip was dug
more than 50 carloads of pamphlets,
charts, railroad guides, ETC., landed
here in New England announcing the
fact, and away would go lots Of our
young men and money. The moral
is obvious. Vermonters must howl
for Vermont; if they don't, who will.
By the way that account presents
some suggestions. 1t would seem at
first thought, that the allowances
for labor, as shown by the items,
were large, even extravagant, but it
must be remembered that had the
work been done less thoroughly,
the production would have been less
and profit less.
Evidently thoroughness in cultiva
ton is necessary if large results are
expected, and is it profitable for
farmers to attempt to raise larger
crops than what can be well cared
for?
Again, certain soils are adapted to
certain crops, yet how many farmers
know certainly whether this or that
crop can be proftably ground on
their particular farm? No accounts
showing cost of production or profit
have been kept, mere guess work.
Ascertain by actual figures whether
wheat, corn, oats or potatoes put
the most dollars into the pocket. Of
course an important item to be con-
sidered in such accounts is the keep
ing the farm in the richest state of
cultivation, some crops taking more
out of the soil than others.

A SINGULAR DISEASE.
Young People Made to Look Old and
senlle-Its Symptoms.

A new disease called germosphism.
has been described by Drs. Charcot
and Sou9ues says the Medical Journal.
The word means age-like, and the
disease produces an appearance OF
senility. The case reported was that
of u woman whose age was 21, but
whose physiognomy was that OF 60 or
20 years. Her apparent senility was
SO striking that her father. aged 80,
had occasionally been asked If she
was not his mother. The pathology
of the case is limited to the skin, es-
pecially on the surface. and Is a "de-
crepitude of the cutaneous system. I"
Otherwise the girl had nothing old
appearing about her. Her hair was
blonde and of average length.
Her intelligence was good, her
memory precise. and her judgment
reasonable, but she was readily fright
ened when in crowd or by railroad
and its noises; her emotional nature
was fairly well balanced, but she was
respondent on account of her appear
ance of age. which she had come to
think was incurable, and the slightest
indisposition begot fear OF death.
Her cutaneous sensibility was normal.
The special senses Of smell taste and
hearing were normal. There was a
slight impairment of vision without
contraction OF the visual field or color
blindness there was no ARGUS senilis,
The hepatic, renal and uterine func-
tons appeared to be normally per-
formed.
The wrinkling had begun about ten
years before. at which time she re-
ceived great fright She was then
bright joyous child very pretty
and refined in her appearance, and al
ways in the lead of her classes at
school. When he change in the skin
began there was for short time the
formation of pimples, which persisted
a few days and then disappeared
without liberation or mark of any
kind.
There was no Rdema of the cuta-
neous substance. The wrinkling
changes took place so rapidly that it
is stated, her friends were unable to
recognize her if they had not seen her
within the period of Il fortnight; the
skin at that time is described as re-
sembling the scales of fish" No
form OF treatment whether by cleo
tricity, hydropathy or tonics, has been
competent to improve her condition.
