Some distinguished writers have laid


down very simple principle for the guild


ance of ordinary readers. Read, they said,


good books and good books alone. Be


and preserve your mind from the trash OF


the circulating library. The motives which


prompt the advice are only too palpable.


In days when q large proportion of the


population is more or less reading, it is


melancholy to see that the effect is in one


respect the very reverse of what might


have been hoped. The greatest writer's,


though they may have positively larger


audience, have relatively O smaller audi


ence than ever. Their works are pushed


aside by masses of ephemeral literature,


and even when read they are read with


little attention. The mind becomes de-


moTalized by the habit of desultory and


superficial study =; and man who reads at
ga;lop expects that Shakespeare will yield


up his secret as easily as the last new nov
eiist. The greatest men are distinguished
from the little men in nothing more than
this, that the tenth or twentieth reading of
their books is more fruitful than the first


whereas a modern reader is far too impa-
tient to give more than one audience to the
most venerable of teachers. Nothing,
therefore, Is more natural than to denouace
as debilitating practice all study of infe.
rior authors. Life is shorter than ever 10
proportion to what has to be crowded into


~ u uui uiaSs are DOt larger. We
should, therefore, lay down immovable
regulations against the invasion of dis
tracing influences. The time which we
oawdle away over the valueless parts of
newspapers would enable us to become ia.
mlllar with the thoughts of the wisest and
best Of men. If man had to choose
whether few months hence he would be
familiar with the ins and outs of the Itch
borne case, or have made a careful study
OF the Greek dramatists, no reasonable
being could hesitate. In one case he would
simply have enjoyed questionable
amusement, which leaves no trace behind
1t, In the other his imagination would have
oeen stored with perpetual source of de-
light. Yet hardly anybody has sufficient
foresight or resolution to sacrifice the tenn.
porary excitement in consideration of the |
permanent advantage. The case, indeed, |
ls, up to certain point, too plain to admit |
OF argument. Every body should have an
inner circle of friends amongst books, to
which none but the really great writer's |!
should be admitted. So far as the reading |
Is not mere pastime, but part of the |
Systematic cultivation of the faculties, it is |
only valuable in proportion as it implies
close and intimate knowledge. No poetry
ls really worth reading unless it is worth
learning by heart. A man may say that |
he has read Shakspeare's sonnets, if he has
through them as he glances through |
. leading article ; but he has not read them |
in any profitable sense, until they have |
fascinated his imagination and sunk into |
his memory. Really great books, in short. |

The mode of preparation is as follows:
otrain the milk in tin pans from four to six
inches deep-pans with handle on each side
are more conveniently moved-allow it to re-
main in the dairy, which must be too cool to
suffer II to sour, from twelve to twenty-four
hours that is, the milk OF one day is at
tended to on the following morning. Set the
pan ON stove, not too hot part, or bet
ter still in gently boiling water; watch
for twenty minutes more or less, until the
milk becomes ve:y hot and the cream
thoroughly ''crinkled," or until II be-
gins to contract so as 10 leave the
sides OF the pan; puncture the centre Of
the cream with sharp wooden stick; if the
hole made becomes larger, showing a con-
traction OF the cream in the centre as well AZ
the sides, then ii is time to remove the nan
IRON the fire. Remove carefully to a cooi
place and let it be undisturbed until thur
ouShly cold-for twenty-four hours. some
writers say. Then skim Off this thickened
cream, and either fresh or salted. it is an ex-
cellent substitute for, and many think a
great improvement, upon butter. If cutter i,
wanted, it is only necessary to rub the cream
with the hand Tor few moments in a smooth
wooden bowl, 10 have it separated ready for
washing. For each pound of butter there
will not be more than hali-pint OF butter
milk. This method does away with much of
tbe labor Of churning, and with the handling
OF an immense bulk oil butiermilk, aud ITS
d.fhcult removal by washing or working.
When properly made, the quality of the but
ter is excellent; and there is the advantage,
that the skinned milk remains sweet and tit

in small quantities, and will not therefore
need salt; and will have the delightful, fresh
taste Of French butter.

We claim for our own state, all the credit
which is connected with the introduction of
this valuable variety of clover into the Uni
ted States. Those of our citizens who some
years ago made trial of the seed, were prob
ably indebted to the agency of some member
of the Board of Agriculture, for its distribu-
ton. The first importation of seed into
Maine was made in 1857, by Hon. S. L.
Goodale, then Secretary of the Board, who
imported a quantity from Scotland at his own
expense, and divided it among the members.
The farmers in our remote county of Aroos-
took, had tested its merits and obtained sue
cessful results, long before the Department
at Washington had cultivated any practical
acquaintance with it. We notice that some
OF our Western exchanges ascribe its intro
duction to the enterprise of the Commissioner
of Agriculture; in making the correction
we no not desire to diminish his bard-ealned
laurels, but merely to take the place of the
veraclols historian.

Mr.. Peter Taylor is just in from DR..
Winston's ledge on the San Gabriel,
where he spent week giving direc-
tions to the hands at work on the
mine. On his first visit there he pro-
nounced it u valuable mine. The
quality of the ore and the indications
were so much like the famous Com
stock that Mr.. Taylor resolved to see
it opened. But he at once informed
the Doctor that the tunnel which had
been run, and which was intended to
cut across the ledge, was run parallel
with the ledge and south Of it. About
200 feet from the mouth of the tunnel
they drifted north and had run but q
few feet when they struck the ledge.
1t is twelve feet wide, well defined,
with smooth walls. Z This settles two
i'm portant facts which it is well for
our people to know-first, that there is
n rich and extensive mine on the San
Gabriel river only half days ride
from Los Angeles; second, that brains
and experience are both requisite to
succeed in mining. We need dozen
such men as Mr.. Taylor to look at the
vuarious mines in our county, and, Ii
only known, we believe that we are
living almost in sight of some of the

The following brief and comprehen-
sive statement concerning bee culture
in Los Angeles county comes from one
Of our most successful and enterprising
bee men and can be relied upon. It
will convey much information to
those at distance who are interested
in this subject.


EDITOR HERALD: In accordance with
a promise given some time since, I will
attempt brief statement in relation
to bee culture in this county.


LOCATIONS.


The finest grade of honey is gather
ed from elevated lands where the veg
citation seems to be peculiarly adapted
to this industry. The brush lands are
unavailable for the pasturage of sheep
and those animals are great enemy
in the destruction of flowers yielding
honey.


OF various styles are in use and from
the fact that many persons regard
their hives as most men do their wives
i. e. that each for himself has the
best, we withhold an opinion.


The yield of honey in 1874 Of this
county taken from reports only rela-
lively correct Is as follows,
viz: 17s,OOO pounds strained hon
ey, $4,000 pounds extracted hon
ey, $4,000 pounds comb honey.
The average production of different
apiaries range from so to 240 pounds
per swarm, the estimate being made
from the parent stock of last Spring.


BREEDING.


Comparatively few who are engaged
in this industry have tried to improve
their breed either by the introduction
of italians or breeding from their most
productive common stock. The main
aim of most has been to accumulate
in numbers without regard to excel
lency


The advantages we possess in not
being compelled to "winter bees" and
the peculiar honey yielding plants
which abound in the vicinity of the
mountains, have caused this to be-
come leading industry of this county.
While in the East honey is regarded
as luxury, here it is matter OF
economy, doubly so, when its health
fulness is taken into account.

BA1KY HoRsEs.-The Society for

mails, puts forth set Of rules for the
treatment of balky horses.


!. Pat the horse upon the neck
examine the harness carefully, first
on one side then on the other, speak
ing enouragingly while doing SO
then jump into the wagon and give
the word go; generally he viii obey.


2. A teamster in Maine says he
can start the worst balky horse by
taking him out of the shafts and
making him 90 round in circle till he
is giddy. If the first dance Of this
sort doesn't cure him the second
will.


8. To cure a balky horse, simply
place YOUR hand over the horses nose
and shut off his wind until he wants
to 60.


i. The brain Of a horse seems to
entertain but one idea at time
therefore continued whipping only
confirms his stubborn resolve. II
you can, by any means, give him a
new subject to think of, you will
generally have no trouble in starting
him. A simple remedy is to take a
couple OF turns of stout twinc around
the fore leg, just below the knee.
tight enough for the horse to feel. and
tie in a bow knot. At the first
check he will generally go dancing
off, and after going n short distance
you can get out and remove the
string. to prevent injury to the ten
don in your further drive.


3. Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs, and tie it by a
cord to the saddle girth.


6. Tie string around the horses
ear, close to his head.
