uted only to magical agencies. They
came to tell me" writes the traveller,
that the water they had left in their
cooking pots was all bewitched. They
said it was white and would not shake;
the adventurous Fund.- had even hit il
with stick, which would not go in.
They begged me to look at it, and
told them to bring it to me. They de.
clined, however, to touch it, and i'm.
plored me to go to it. The water, OF
course, had frozen solid. handled the
ice, and told the men they were silly tc
be afraid of it, for this change always
came over water on the tops of high
mountains. l put one of the pots on the
fire and predicted it would soon turn
again into water. The men sat around
and anxiously watched it; when it ha6
melted they joyfully told me that the
demon was expelled, and l told them
they could now use the water; but
as soon as my back was turned they
poured it away and refilled their pot.

The Florentine Epicurean.

Your typical Florentine is epicurean
to the toe tips. His enthusiasts and
yearnings are quite other than those of
the northerner. Give him two francs
a day for life and he will toll no more.
He may be a marquis, but he will be
content to forego the assertion of his
rank SO he may thenceforward enjoy
the priceless boon of leisure and indie
pendence. His leisure he will dissipate
at the cafe, with perhaps two or three
half-penny sweet fluids per diem; and
you may study the effect of his indie
pendence in his courtly manners, even
though his hat be worn at the brim
and his coat-back be deplorably shiny
He is pellucid brook-shallow as you
please, yet engaging for his pellucidity
AS he sits on the red velvet cushions
and looks forth at carriages and gowns
of fashion in the Via lorna buoni, he
shows no trace of envy on his open
countenance. What, in effect, have
these rich ones more than he, save the
ennui of modishness and the indiges-
ton of high feeding? The monuments
and blue skies of Florence mot to men
ton the glorious or stirring memories
of it's history are rather more his than
theirs. Magazine.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Keep no more cows than can be fed
and handled proftably.
Sweet cream poused into that which
is sour does not all churn.
If a cows attention is attracted, she
Immediately let's down her milk.
So far as is possible discard all cows
that develop Objectionable habits natu-
rally.
The real test of COW is her perform
ance after the first three or four
months in milk.
If milk is to be used for butter OF
cream, deep setting and speedy sepa-
ration give the best results.
A heifer is valuable in proportion to
the smallness of the feed required by
her to make a pound of butter.
There are three general faults in but
ter-making, overripening of cream,
overchurning and oyerworlling.
A good quantity of good, rich milk
for ten months in the year is what
every dairyman should have from every
COW in the herd.
While fat cows may present rather
a better appearance, it is pretty GER
tain that when the mich cows are put
ting fat on their backs they are not
putting it into the milk pail.
By selling giltedged butter dairy
man is not impoverishing his farm.
He is selling his crops to his cows at a
profit, and returning the manurial ele-
ments to the farm, which becomes
more productive every year.-Rural

FARM AND GARDEN.
WORK FOR CONvICTS.


lad Men Can BE Employed IN the buho-
ing of Good Roads.
In a good many of the states the in
mates of penitentiaries are already en-
ployed, to greater or less extent, IN
improving the highways, and every
where the verdict is that good roads
have been secured where they would
not have been built for a century TO
come if the taxpayers had been obliged
to initiate the work and bear the whole
cost of it. Curiously enough, this most
excellent scheme has made most prog
ress in the communities where it is
connected with prison system that is
strongly and justly reprehended. In
those states of the south where they
have what is known as the sc Jain gang
system" the idea of putting the prison
ers at work on the highways suggested
itself naturally. The convicts were kepte
in Open-air camps with guards fur
nished by the state, and nothing was
more natural than to engage them in
road repair in the vicinity.
Where convicts are housed in great
buildings of stone and iron, and where
lilS nave DCCll pun W lclDOl az lllC-
chanical employment, the transition Is
not so simple and natural. Still it can
De made to a certain extent, and that
without destroying or impeding the
work of prison reform. In South Caro-
lima there are now said to be about 500
convicts at work on the highwa--s ants
the value of what they have done has
produced such an effect upon the peo-
pie of the rural sections of that not par
ticularly progressive state that county
commissioners everywhere are stirring
up the subject of systematic road con-
struction. Tennessee has a law that per-
mits it, and New York has authorized
similar experiment. 1t seems to us that
the New York law might very profitably
be adopted in Minnesota at the next ses-
sion of the legislature This contem-
plates the employment of only a por-
ton of the states convicts, to be selected
by the prison warden, probably with
the assistance and approval of the state
board of charities and corrections, who
should be put to work on road improve
ment under the direction of experts
III IObu NOllSIl uSllOll ny lllC
state.
1t is unquestionably true that the
work of reforming the criminal, of
which we must never lose sight by eX-
alting the commercial motive, is en-
tirely consistent with utilizing con-
Wet labor on the highways. There is
very large percentage of prison popula-
ton for whom this would be the most
desirable form of labor. By judicious
selection of men, and by engaging
them in small gangs upon the highways,
it is probable that more wholesome in
fiuences might be brought to bear upon
them even than in well-conducted
prison itself. At any rate, here is an
I occupation which does not compete
with honest labor, which is available
for great number of convicts to whom
mechanical pursuits are not naturally
adapted, and whose results would be in
the highest degree beneficial to the
state. We believe that further expert
ment along this line should be made at
once, and that our own community
should attempt it.-St. Paul (Minn.)

OPEN YOUR EYES.


Go to the City and Get Rid of Conceit
and Prejudice.
The farmer who never leaves his farm
except when he goes to the cheese fac
tory, creamery, post Office, grocery or
to church, is usually the most con-
ceited and egotistical of all men; knows
the least about his business, makes the
poorest dairy product, and grows the
poorest and lightest crops. If he will
once go to the city and note the arrival
of his butter or fruit, compare it with
other arrivals, and note the comments
thereon, he will go home with better
knowledge of his needs. The best and
most profitable lesson l ever learned.
says a prominent writer in Farmers
Home Journal, was on such a trip, and
the conceit and self-esteem | disposed
of on that occasion would have filled
volume. Go some day and see for your
self. You will come home vastly wiser
and with a determination to discard
prejudice and make butter. AS much
loss comes from using inferior pack
ages and poor products, ship only the
best goods, and in the most attractive
and neatest packages. You will hnd
that small packages, if neat and at
tractive, sell for the best prices; there
n no room for poor goods of any kind.
