1t is of no little Importance to have at
hand a convenient and reliable mode of
testing the richness of milk.


This is usually done by the mere rule
of "guess." We will give more rclia-
Bile way, within the reach of all, and one
whereby any person may safely govern
himself in deciding upon which of any
number of milkmen he will patronize, or
of which of any number of COWS lie will
purchase.


Procure any long glass tesseI--a CO.
longe bottle or long phial. Take a mar
row strip of paper, just the length from the
neck to the bottom of the phial, and mark
it off with 100 lines at equal distances
or, if more convenient, and to obtain
greater exactness, into so lines, and count
each as two, and paste it upon the phial,
50 as to divide its length into 100 equal
parts.


Fill it to the highest mark, with milk
fresh from the COW, and allow it to stand
N perpendicular position "a hours
The number Of spaces occupied by the
cream will give you the exact percentage
in the milk without any guess-work.


Now, if you wish to carry the expert.
ment furtheri and ascertain the percentage
Of butter in your cream, set the milk i'll a
large dish, and collect say 100 or 200
ounces of cream; make gbtr butter, and
you will know the percentage of butter in
your cream by ascertaining the number of
ounces of butter you have made from it.
Thus, if 100 ounces of milk give 10 ounces
of cream, and 10 ounces of cream give
ounces of butter, you will know that 100
ounces of milk will give 5 ounces of but
ter.


Such experiments are worth being made
and carefully. In no other way can you
know what you have in COW or milk, or
what you are buying. In this Hay also
you may test the exact nutritive value Of
different kinds Of milk from your COWS
a very important matter.


Farmers may derive much benefit by
making few experiments, now and then,
They need not interfere with any of the
regular duties of the farm; and nothing,
but a spirit of ofhabitual Incidence of fthodghs
and action will keep them from doing so. :
Such experiments often lead to important
results, and evoke interesting and instruc--
tive facts.

Mr.. EDITOR The following is an ex-
tract from letter from Beaufort, S. c.,
relative to the observance of Memorial

"'Down in Southern CLINE, amidst
the silent waves of tideless sea there
lies a weary land, whose life is only in the
past and future How often these words
of Mariatti in writing Of Italy come to
my mind in these fair days in this sunny
Southern land-as | think of its gay and
luxuriant past, and its possible and proba-
BILE future. | greatly wonder and sur
mise how far apart, how widely different,
will be that past and future. No one
can tell. We know something of the for
mer, can only conjecture and hope in ref
erence to the latter--and how ardently
hope, only those can know who from child
hood accustomed to comfort luxury and
ease--come as teachers of the Freedmen
to forego the society of friends, hazard
the dangers of the climate. and undergo
privatons of Life among the Lowly, to
do something for that uncertain, hoped
for future.


Admitting the fact that there may be
many of these teachers possessed Of no
missionary spirit, mere mercenaries, who,
as in other vocations labor merely for the
loaves and fishes, few and small though
they be,) yet there are those whose self
denial, earnestness and devotion are SUBJ
lime. | have two in my minds eye just
now both independent in worldly means,
one educated abroad, who have spent
eight successive years in this glorious en-
nobliug work; their faith growing strong

the fruit of their works is manifest in the
higher types of manhood and womanhood
growing up around them as the result OF
their untiring labors and undiminished

As most of our readers have not read
the dogma of Papal lnfallibility which
has been adopted by the Ecumcnical Coun-
Gil at Rome, we insert the articles, five
in number, as follows:


]. IF any one should say that the epis-
copal chair of the Roman church is not
the true and real infallible chair of Bles-
sed Peter, or that it has not been divinely
chosen by God as the most solid, inde-
feeble, and incorruptible rock of the
whole Christian church, let him be ana
thema.


2. If any one should say that there
exists in the world another infallible chair
of the truth of the gospel of Christ our
Lord, distinct and separate from the chair
of Blessed Peter, let him be anathema.


3. If any one should deny that the
divine magisterium Of the chair of Bles-
sed Peter is necessary to the true way Of
eternal salvation for all men, whether
laymen or bishops, let him be anathema.


4. If any one should say that each
Roman pontiff, legitimately elected, is not
by divine right the successor of Blessed
Peter, even in the gift of the infallibility
of magisterium, and should deny to any
one of them the prerogatlve of infallibili.
ty for teaching the church the word Of
God pure from all corruption and error
let him be anathema.


5. IF any one should say that general
councils are established by God in the
church as power Of feeding the eivine
flock in the word of faith superior to the
Roman pontif, or equal to him, or neces.
sary by divine institution in order that
the magisterium of the Roman bishop
should be preserved iafallible, let him be
anathema.

BY this time we were going very fast.
1t was, to use horse phrase, nip and tuck
between the two pair, with tuck THAT was

My friend grasped my arm, exclaiming
with great excitement:


"By Jove, this is fun! Let 'em out n'
and | did $3.50 did our opponent.


There was no urging required-no whip
used The two pair sped forward with
railroad speed. Now we would lead, then
the other. Not break for fully half
mile.


Cant we leave him in the rear ?" ask
ed my friend, and, for the first time |
shouted $50 on, Billy! !" which was very
rash, for Billy knew his business better
than we did, and he broke.


"We are lost" said my friend. awe
are ruined"-mixing the race up with
some important suit in which he was en-
gagged.


"Hold on" said the driver, "perhaps
not. Wo, Bill wo Billy !-steady-do
not disgrace us, my boy"


A wicked jump or two, and he was
back into frightful trot, when we both,
at the same breath, exclaimed "Go on,
Billy"


EYES," shouted the Presbyterian, "go
Billy for all you are worth, if you never
did before" and sure enough he did go as
if fully realizing the situation. Both
went. Yes, all four went, at a terrible
gait regardless of life or limb; the gravel
few as fast as hail.


"Cover your mouth" said l, "for the
home-stretch, or you will require the SER
vice Of the dentist tomorrow"


"Don't talk to me about dentists or
teeth, but beat that fellow, and | will
square our accounts tomorrow, SOS you
shall know how little conscience Chicago
lawyer has.


Having had some experience in that di-
rection, and as this reduced the race to a
financial matter, (no betting, however,
we again spoke to Billy and mate, when
they again increased their speed, and were
soon far ahead, leaving us fully master Of
the situation in view of Hyde Park.


Now this may have been wicked, ac-
cording to the beliefof a great many wise
and good people, but neither Of us thought
so, for it brought the oxygen to our cheeks,
vigor to our bodies and recreation to our
brain.


The good Methodist sister on tie Mis-
sissippi thought boat racing very wicked
when the race commenced, but she fed the
furnace with bacon when the wood was ex-
!
hausted, and she thought the fact of her
being there was providential. Besides,
she was commanded to cast her bread up
on the waters, and as she had no bread
she did the next thing she cast her meat
into the furnace, which was close unto the
water.


We are fully aware that large portion
of the Christian world think keeping a
fast horse is wicked, and would not look
at horse race unless it was through their
fingers, as the Quaker did at the statuary
for fear of committing some unpardon,
able sin


Now we, are of decidedly different
opinion, and we can see no more harm in
looking at trial of speed between two
horses than between two swallows.


We do not think the eloquent sermons
of the Rev. Mr.. Spear, of N. Y, any less
forcible because he was fond of fast horses
and offered $4,000 for the Flora Temple
of his time. Better thousand times for
a minister to own and drive a fast horse
than to preach with diseased brain or a
dyspeptic stomach.

THE winter of 1740 is described in an
old book quoted by German paper as
very terrible. This work, "Brockes' Con-
tentment in God," thus speaks of it: "An
unheard of frost seized with extraordinary
severity on the world and the elements, so
that it is scarcely possible to number or
relate the many strange occurrences that
took place through its violence. Men telt
so oppressed that days passed by unheed-
ed. One would and could hardly speak
one sat and thought, yet could not think
ifany one spoke word it was with hard
set face. Many hens and ducks, even the
cattle in the stalls, died of cold; the trees
split asunder. Not only beer but wine in
cellars froze. Deeply sunken wells were
covered with impenetrable ice. Crows
and other birds fell to the ground frozen
in their fight. No bread was eatable, for
it was as cold and hard as stone
Brockes further relates that this extfaor-
binary winter was followed by an equally
uncommon spring. In May no sign o.
verdure was yet to be seen it was still
cold in July, aud vegetation was then still
further hindered by drought. The hsr
vest was not over till late in the autumn
and by the middle of October the fros
returned, before the fruit in the gardens
had had time to ripen.
