French GirlhoOd.

It is almost impossible to give
foreigners an idea of the swaddling
bands that constrain French youth
and warp its spontaneous growth.
A mothers one ambition is to
launch her child suddenly into the
wild vortex of life utterly ignorant
of its dangers; the more ignorant
she is found, the more perfect is con-
sidered her education. Her mann
mas anxious vigilance has followed
her day by day, from the hour OF
her birth, until she has triumphant
ly placed her darling as innocent
as a newborn babe On her marriage
day in the arms of a man the child
scarcely knows by sight, and who
is often a Paris libertine in its high
bred phase. It is surprising that
such a bride should experience cruel
disappointments and often end by
seeking consolation in those forbid
den attachments where heart break
ing remorse follows new and deeper
disenchantments that end by shat
tering belief in all love, and leave
the young mother powerless IN her
turn to lead her child through
the untrodden paths of natures
own simple laws Of love. Neither
can young man attempt to reform
present customs and seek wife OF
his own choice, for gentleman IS
in honor bound never to court girl
without having previously asked
her parents permission, and as the
slightest attention to girl assumes
Immediately in France a serious
character, he must either ask this
permission before knowing his bride
or he must run the risk of being
shot down by chivalrous brother,
should he afterward decline marry

We are asked to give the proper lem
pcraturo tor Charming. II can hardly
be DONE The following explains why:
One OF our dairy writers says use n
Thermometer in churning and watch
closely the first time 70 observe the best
result for having butter come in salts
factory form. While sixty-two IS the
mos. common temperature at which
churning is best effected, that tempcra-
ture is not always satisfactory. Certain
breeds of cows, or cows on certain
feeds. produce milk the cream of which
must be churned higher or lower than
the average. Having ascertained the
temperature at which cream best
breaks into butter by close observation,
start the churning the next time with
the cream at the desired temperature.
This is the only intelligent way to use
n thermometer, and once having learned
how to use it the dairymen viii never
dispense with it.-Farmers' Voice.

srnnn Ing a Dairy Farm.

The business of dairying should not
be mixed with other branches of farm
ing, but should be made a speciality.
The farm can then be laid out in three
equal fields for the three-year rotation

of the farm undesirable for cultivation
can se seeded to permanent grasses for
pasturing young stock, dry cows, etc.
The tinable portions of the farI-, then,

euAilage, wheat for money crop and
the straw for bedding. The wheat
money can be reinvested on the farm,
In the shape of wheat bran or oil meal,
which win make the business self sus-
tanning, and give, with the sale of sur
plus stock, source of income which is
constant and reliable. All fertility re-
mains where it belongs, on the farm,

| a rev davs after this the long siege
| of Petersburg and Richmond ended in
the capture of both, and when, April
9-12, our schoolboy friends, then but
little o-cr nineteen years of age, were
drawn up with the cOnqUering legiOns
of the north to witness that most joy
full vet pathetic event, the surrender of
Lees army, they were saluted by their
troopers, one as Capt. Leslie and the
other as Lieut.. Ainslie. though neither
had had time to get, and, in fact, never
did get the uniform of his rank.
Gen. Lees army had been by this
time more than decimated by deser-
tions-if. indeed, that may be called de-
sertion which was a simple returning to
their desolated homes of men who,
worn out by war and suffering, saw,
even sooner than did their commander,
that the cause, for which they had so
bravely fought, was hopelessly lost
little knowing then that from it's
ruins should arise a reunited and
regenerated nation, the wonder and
glory of mankind!
All the formalities had been complied
with; the exhausted, yet, doubtless,
secretly rejoicing private soldiers of
the moribund confederacy had marched
out in funeral-lilze procession and piled
their arms; their detected officers had
individually signed that historic parole
which assured the peace of the coun-
try, and by no word, look, taunt or
gibe, during all these solemn proceed
ings, was either rank or file once in
suited or further humiliated by their
generous conquerors-the citizen-sol-
diery of that great union their own valor
had preserved.
Herbert Leslie and Fred Ainslie,
their hearts filed with devout graft
tude, sat quietly talking in small tent,
which, being now both officers, they
once more occupied together, when an
orderly entered and, saluting, said:
Captain, confederate colonel desires
admittance, but gives no name"
"Well, orderly, ask the gentleman to
come in without ceremony" replied
Herbert, and, STOPPING his lofty crest,
Sydney Temple walked into the TENT
With simultaneous shout of Joy the
young men sprang up and fairly hugged
their old friend, while, in the first ex-
uberance of their delight, they could
only say, over and over again: "oh, sgd,
dear old Syd!''
The youthful colonel (he was Lot yet
twenty-one years of age) was pro-
foundly affected, and his pale, high
bred face, though sweetly grave and
tender, showed deep traces of care and
suffering, as he gently said: "Well,
dear boys, we meet once more in our
old-time fashion, and with no dread
before us to mar our friendship. Our

just here is the advantage of the

and letting the oily parts separate from

separator uses strong friction to
break the film, when the cream or fatty

thus secured requires very little churn-
ing; the film being broken, there is
practically nothing to do but to gather
the butter and separata it from its but

residuum of caseinc and tibrine that
cannot at first be wholly separated
from the lat. There is no doubt that
these methods get from the milk

quite as anxious TO visit Mrs. Ainslie as
was Fred himself. From an equally
unaccountable motive, the goal of Col.
Temples desires seemed to be New
York, but he cheerfully stayed for a
few days at Fred's home and made the
acquaintance of his mother and sister,
who returned his own hospitality with
interest.
Then he and Herbert, leaving their
friend to follow and resume his mercan-
tile life at leisure, went on to Gotham
and were received with rapturous de-
light by Mrs. Leslie, who insisted upon
her sons friend making her elegant
mansion his present home.
1t very strangely happened that when
the two young men arrived Miss Jennie
Glynn was spending the evening with
Mrs. Leslie-a circumstance with which
both, and especially Sydney, seemed
rather pleased than otherwise, but, of
course, only because it gave him an op-
portupity to see her safely home that
night and renew his acquaintance with
her motherl
Being thoroughly IL earnest, it did
not take long for young Temple to
make arrangements for entering the
Law ocice of Sharp & Pierson along
with Herbert, and in the course of few
months both Mrs. Ainslie and Mrs.
Temple removed to New York for good;
and Fred once more engaged with the
great firm of Draper & Moore in his
favorite pursuit of selling dry goods.
Twenty-six years of blessed peace
have succeeded those awful four of civil
war. The warm-hearted, impulsive cit
izens of the south have joined hands
with the cool, determined men of the
north in all enterprises which go to
make a people great; and their united
progress in this one quarter of a cen
tury mas justly dazzled, by its transcend
ant magnitude and glory, the eyes OF a
wondering world.
Our three friends, only now in the
prime of vigorous manhood, have sue
ceeded as pluck and energy ever do
succeed.
The famous law firm of Temple and

little Ainslies. AS a matter of course,
the youngsters are in the same muddle

CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE.
Garlicky Flavor of MILK and How tn Re-
,uoya tho Taint


The writer has had no experience
with garlicl<y milk. l do not have
garlic in the pasture but there are
many who are sometimes seri-
ously inc )nvenienced by it and
for their benefit the follow
ing is taken from the American Cream
cry: We know of no way to entirely
remove this taint, though it can be so
modified that the average consumer
will not detect it. Twice aerating vii |
help it wonderfully. When you churn
the cream :rom such milk always gran
ulate to somewhere near the size OF
No shot.
Draw off the bnttermilk and cover
the butter with ice-cold water. Let it
stand ten or fifteen minutes and draw
off, then repeat. This will free it from
the taint as much as you can by me-
chanical means. For long time we
have wanted to try to neutralize this
taint, and wish that some of our read
ers, who ere troubled in this way, would
put about an ounce of rose water 10
sixty gallons of cream before churning
and report their experience with 1t.
We believe it would work but the lack
of garliclxy cream prevents our making
the experiment at some future time.

lection of this sort, the surest way to
prevent freezing on the walls IS to
sheath up with matched boards on the
outside of the studding, thus maxi
ing dead air space. You
should, however, hang with hinges a
board jointed close, near the bottom,
and another near the top. These
should be left open until it becomes
cold, and should be opened again as
soon as the wealth. grows warm in
the spring. This allows a circulation
of air and dries out the moisture from
the walls of the silo to prevent decay.
To prevent the ensilage frosting from

the silo tightly covered, and a close
fitting door where you enter.-A. T.
