Causes of Impure MIX.

The principal causes of impure milk
are: Impure air in the milking place,
bad food, foul water and filth; and as
they are all causes readily controlled,
they are inexcusable. The farmer who
exposes his cows to such conditions has
no right to complain of low prices and
lack of customers. On the contrary, he
should be fined for imperiling the pub.
lie health by attempting to place on
the market tainted article which Ia
liable to spread disease. If farmers
would only unite and bind themselves
to observe scrupulous cleanliness in all
the branches of milk production they
might readily double its consumption.
The "cowy" odor and the black sedi.
ment are the greatest hindrances to
the rapid development of the industry.

whcre to Locate In tho South.

OF the thousands and thousands of North
ern families who contemplate locating in
the South this fall, in the hope of improv-
ing their health and bettering their fnan-
cial status, the vital question is which point
in the South is the best to locate in. The
three important questions to q farmer, as
far as location is concerned, are
l: Soil capable of growing all the cereals
he Is accustomed to cultivating.
3. A healthy climate.
3. A point where a ready market can be
found for everything he raises.
These requisites can be separately found
In any of the Southern States, but in the
great mineral belt OF North Alabama they
are all found together.
1t was this belt that originally attracted
the eyes of the world to the South. II is
about fifty miles wide and two hundred
miles long, and reaches from the Northeast t
corner of the State as far south as Tusca-
loosa. Within the mineral belt lie all the
coal, iron, limerick and other mines; ali the
furnaces and most of the manufactures of
the State, thus providing employment for
immense numbers of operators OF all kinds,
which create market for every pound of
produce raised by the farmer within this
region at a high price, and practically at his
door. In fact the consumption of the prod
ucts of the farm is so great within this min
eral belt that the farmers located therein
are unable to supply one-twentieth of the
demand, and this cannot be said of any
other point in the South.
The increase in the value of lands within
the mineral belt of North Alabama is more
certain than any other point in the South,
hence no mistake can be made in locating
there.
The land throughout the mineral region is
high and dry, though watered by many pure
and limpid streams. Its elevation is such
that it enjoys the luxury of q pure atmos-
phere derived from it's altitude, thus giving
to all this region the uniform climate of the
South with tle benefit of the
Birmingham is the center of this mineral
belt, with the beautiful city of Fort Payne

story of queer coincidence in which
he figured recently. In November,
1861, Col. Parrish, with the Eighth In

Georgetown, Mo. Negroes were then
contraband of war, and under the IA
nous order of Gen. B. f. Butler any

owner within the union lines could be
reclaimed. While at Georgetown two
mounted men rode into camp and
asked if certain young negro was
about headquarters. They gave a

troublesome Garden Pest.
Although called the cabbage-root
uaggot, this insect will also feed on
the roots of caulihower, borecole, Brus-
sells sprouts, radish, collard, broccoli,
rutabaga turnip, winter cress and
hedge mustard. Many remedies have
been recommended for this pest The
only preventive that has proved eff
fectual on large scale is the tarred
paper disc. These discs, which should
measure three inches in diameter, are
made of thin roofing felt, being cut by
special tool, the dotted lines in the
diagram showing the position of the
edge of the tool. The discs should be
placed about the plants at the time of
transplanting. BY bending the card
slightly the slit will open sufficiently to
admit the stem of the plant to the
center, after which the card should be
spread out, and the points formed by
the star-shaped cut should be pressed
snugly about the stem. 1t is essential
that the ground be smooth when the
cabbage plants are transplanted, and
the discs must be pressed close to
the ground, leaving no chance for the
flies to crawl under them.
As a preventive measure would only
cause the flies to abandon the cabbage

They Drive n hard Bargain But Are
Trustworthy.
Each night we called a council after
dinner and discussed many things with
our people, says a writer in Nine
tcenth Century. Our hunters were
summoned, and, while Joseph inter
preted, their swarthy faces peered
through the tent door into the light,
and when the conference was over
they received a handful of tobacco,
coveted even moro than food. These
men were as anxious for successful
hunt as we could desire, but their ad
vice was not always sound.
They are like children, and think
that if they have observed thing once
it will always recur. In my opinion,
the sinister reputation which has to
some extent attached to these Arabs of
Sinai since the tragic murder of Prof.
Palmer at the time of the Arabic rebel
lion is undeserved. They were probably
induced. by secret messages from Cairo
to regard his mission to obtain camels
as an act of war, and they treated him
and his companions as they and their
people have always treated their enc
mics. ...t
found them trustworthy. They
drive hard bargain, but this, ratified,
the conditions are kept faithfully.
Their goats are tended on the noun
tains by the unmarried girls, sure
sign of good manners. My daughters
soon found that they could wander, un-
attended, for many miles from camp,
secure of an unaffectedly gracious re-
ception from any casual tent dweIler
that they met. Could this be said of
any civilized. country on the shores of
the Mediterranean?

ENGLISH WOMEN CHANGING.

Utterly Unlike the Sentimental Creatures
OF the Old Keepsslres.
In his, "Notes Upon London" M. Au-
gustln Filon claims to have discovered
the new women in England. The
English girl of to-day, he says, is utter
ly unlike the sentimental, languishing
creature of the old keepsakes. She is
dry and hard, and her form is tall and
straight. The race is developing on
Darwinian principles. Men are giving
up marrying, or, at all events, they
marry less than they did. The women,
therefore; no longer seek to please the
men as they did. They go out into the
world and compete with the men. There
are womcn's clubs where every sort
of SUBJECTS eagerly discussed. Accord
ing to M. Filon, here is specimen Eng
lish family: The mother is,the widow
of Cambridge professor, and she has
four daughters, of whom the eldest
is thirty. The mother has very ad-
.vanccd political opinions and constant
ly speaks in public. She lives alone.
The eldest daughter, who is n journal
list, occupies chambers and is as free as
any young man. She is intelligent,
happy, irrcproachable. The second
goes in for higher studies and teaches
at Girton. The third has founded a
colony for women gardeners. The
fourth is sculptor. NJ Filon finds
everywhere in England n continual
physical and mental activity. He is
inclined, on the whole, to think that
there is a good deal of good, as well as
some harm, in the new woman move
ment.
