This kinder skeered some of our fellers, but they got ust to it pretty soon, and I think we bad a, good. meetin'. Jack Bwiggins be- gan by sayin? : 'I've been lookin' round to see how - the cows was managed in Bn gtown, and I cum to the coiaklusion that if the majority is rite, that the way to keep the cows in winter is at a straw -stack or in a fence -corner, fiir that's the way L ost of 'era is kept. But I've bin at three or four houses to dinner or supper since we had our last raeetin', and. I found that butter was mighty ska,ce, and what little thar wus, wus as white as lard. _They said it Wile the Corn- stalks that made it so white; but I guess 'twas the want of "em, fur I've been to Jehu Simses and he has been, feedire six cows on cornstalks, and has made a goad deal of butter, and it's lite yeller, too. I went down, to the grocery and I found that butter wus WU& at thirty cents a pound and. they couldn't get as smelt as they wanted. at that. The storeiteeper sed.: A good many of the farmers hey to buy butter when they hey company, and, go with- out it the rest of the winter, but -as soon 11.11 grass comes butter% be down to a dime a pound.' -" 'Where do you git butter now?' sez " Oh, that's a few farmers in Bung - town that's got some warm stables fixed up and is a feedin' their cows high, and they make a good deal of butter, but I don't believe it pays 'era.' " Now, Mr. President," sez I, this isjest what I want to findout. My old woman and me has come to the conklu- son that it don't pay to make butter in summer at ten cents a pound, and our cows are mighty apt to go dry in will - ter. Yon see the cold water set them to shivverilf so when we hev to cut the ice in the creek for 'em to drink, and they git -mighty poor, too, afore spring, and we thiiik we are dein" pretty well if -we get butter enuff to have it on the table once a day. But I want to hear what Jehu. Sinarcts has to say on this subject.” Jehu Simms said: "Mister President, I bought one of the Farmer account books, and ray gal that's been away to school has bin keepin' accounts in it, and. I got her to make a copy of the account she has been a keepin' with the cows for three months, December, January and. Feb- ruary. We heven't Charged nothin' fur the corn. fodder, as I allow the ma- nure is worth what that 'cost, and our cows hadn't had any hay. There wusent any fresh cows among them, either, but one of theta had been giving milk 21 mouths and another 12 when we begun keepin' the aecount, and the others was fresh in May and June. But here is the account." looked over it and was mighty well pleased, for it was ritten jest as nice as cood be, and A showed. how much but- ter they had na.ade each week, but as I allowedyou woodent hey room for it, I asked John's girl (for she was at the meetin'y to add it up for me, and here is what she gave me: Butter pthduced from 6 cows in 3 months-200 lbs Average per cow ' 33 lbs Cash_ value at 80 ets per lb $60 00 Cost of keeping: Ono ton of bran, — . . . . . ... $12 50 Tifty-sie bushels or 2,8601.1;a. of corn moil, at 25 cts. a bushel 14 00 Thir' thou bushele of soft corn, at 25 cents a bushel 3 25 s;29 75 Profit- ......... .. s .. . ... .....$30 25 When I finished readin' it, Jelin, said, You see that I got about two dollars back for every one I paid out fur feed, and when spring comes my cows will be wuth V; apiece more than th,e crobates that hev shiVered out doors all winter." Joe Tucker said, "1 want to ask sorae questions." "Go ahead," says Jehu. " Didn't you put your corn- pretty low? It's bin sellin" at sales fur mor'n that, and. you had to shell it an& take it to mill." I know," says Jehu, "that it's been sold at sales on 12 months' credit fur more, but 25 cents is as much as I could a got for it to hey hauled it off to whar they wus buyin' corn, and it didn't cost much more to shell it. We tramp- ed. out a hundred bushels inrhalf a day with four hosses, and we did it a cold day when we coodent a worked ou t a doors." Zebe Dobbs naked, Didn't the cold water make them shiver and dry them up like blazes ?" No, fur when it was cold we al - Ina pumped fresh water fur them, and if it wus any ways stormy we carried their water to thein in the stable." alus afeered to feed meal to cows," said Dave Hobson, "fur I've tried it three, times and they got pretty Isom so they woodent touch it, and I hed a cow wonst that wus poor as Job's turkey, and a little while before she had a calf I begun to feed her pretty strZaig with corn meal, and before her calf wils a week old she quit eatin', anti her bag swelled and got full of fever, and she dried up and didn't give a. drop of milk, and fluidly her bag spited so that she wasn't of any account, and we had to nook the calf in. the head." Jelin answered, " You've got to be keerfal how you feed your cows fur a week or two before and after they come fresh; whether the critter is Nor or fat, she ortent to hey inor'n half a feed. I want to ask Dave what kind of meal he fed. his cows, and how much at a feed ?" I fed corn -meal, half a peck at a time," Dave answered. I don't wonder you spiled their ap- petite," said John, " fur corn -meal is too rich and heavy to feed cows alone. slue Mh it with mien its bulk of brau, and besideou fed too heavy. A half a peck of corn -meal will weigh over six pounds. Now, my cows baxe kept fat all winter, and YOU kin see from the figgers that they hey a good deal mor'n paidtheir keepin', and. I've fed them iest nine pounds of bran awl meal mix- ed,apiece, each day, and 1 heveut hed one of them off her feed all winter. It we see that one of 'em dozent lick her troft clean„ we step feedin` meal fur a day or two and give nubbins instid. ust to hey 8. good deal of trouble when I let the boys feed out of a basket. for one cow wood git too much and another too Tittle, and pretty soon a cow wood be stalled and woodut oat a bite fur three or fore days, and pretty ,nigh go dry. I'me pinto grow sum beets to feed next winter, fur I beleeve that a peck of beets to a cow every day will keep her in such a condishun that she km vat more meal." 44 I thought," said Jack Parker, “that if you gave a cow a' peck of beets a day she wooden't need so much meal." "Well, she woodent need it if we jist wanted to keep her thru the winter with- out makin' her any fatter or increasin' her milk any. 13ut a cow is a kind of a masheen and it costs somethin' to run it, and if we don't feed her more than will run the masheen we git no profit, and if we feed too much the masheen gits clogged., and I think the best way is to find. out jist about how much it kin use and. give it that. Now, a poor boney cow is like a rickety old masheen and she should% be fed as strong as one that is fatter, at least until she gits a little ust to it. If I had a very poor cow/to feed, ide only give her a quart of meal at a feed at first, and increase gradual." I saw that it was time to go home, and I said, I've bin interested in what's bin said, and I would like to know how many of you think it'll pay to stable your cows and feed them well. Let's have a Vote on it. All that think the pint proved say 1! contrary, no! There was 24 voted I, and nobody but Zeke Dobbs voted no, and he said he'd ruther eat bacon sop on his bread than to be to so much doggoned bother. Yours, with great respect, Seinen BUNG. —Practical Farmer. Death of the Rev. George Cheyne, M. A. It is our painful duty to chronicle the death of the Rev. George Cheyne, M,A., of Saltfieet, at his reeidence'near Ta- pletown, on Monday, 1st April. I The deceased was born in the Parish of of A.uchterless, Aberdeenshire, Scot- land, on the 15th day of July, 1802. Was educated at Marshall College, Ab- erdeen, where he took the degree of M. A., April 1, 1822—just 46 years to a day from the date of his death. He was or- dained to the Ministry in 1831, and was sent out by the Church of Scotland the same year to take charge of the Presby- terian ehurch at Amherstburg, in this Province. At that tine' there were - only 19 Presbyterian ministers in this country—the subject of this sketeh be- ing the last of these oia worthies who have been gathered home. On his re- turn from the meeting of Synod M Kings- ton in 1832, he preached in a school- house where the city of London is now 'situated, it being then only a hamlet of log huts. The following Sunday he preached at St. Thomas,,which was a place then of more note. At that early day there was no Presbyterian church between Dundas andAmherstburg. He was in the habit of leaving his congre- gation for six weeks' at a time, and, mounted on horseback, he would travel through the sparsely settled country, preachnag to the people and baptizing their children. Ile labored for twelve years at'Anaherstburg, and accepted a call to Binbrook and &Meet in 1843, the year of -the disruption. He threw in his lot with the dissenters, who after- wards formed the Free Church. It was a matter of great consolation to him that he lived to see -the two churches,' which should never have been rent asunder in this country, so happily united together again. In 1856 he was elected Moderator of Synod at London and in 1870 was elected the first Moderator of the Synod of Ham- ilton. He was Superintendent of schools in Binbrook and Saltfleet for many years, discharging his duty with much acceptance and great fidelity. He revisited Scotland in 1872. In 1874 he resigned very reluctantly his pastoral care on account of age and. infirmity. His health gradually gave way during the past winter. Dr. Russell, of Bin - brook, for many years his physician, was frequently in attendance, but medi- cal skill was of no avail in restoring a constitution already worn out in the service of . his Master. He passed peacefully away without suffering a sin- gle pang. He was buried, at his own request, in Binbrook, 0 at the church where he labored so long and so faith- fully. An immense concourse of peo- ple followed his remains to the tomb. The Rev. Mr. Murray, of Grimsby, preached his funeral sermon by special request of the deceased, and quite a number of ministers of the Hamilton Presbytery attended the funeral. Mrs. Cheyne died about seven years ago. They had no- family, consequently no children are left to mourn their loss; but other relatives 4,nd friends will miss his genial face and kindly word, and hundreds will remember with grati- tude his faithful ministrations and god- ly exanaple, and his influence- for good will be felt throughout all successive ages, for emphatically it may be said, " Though dead, he still liveth." • Varieties.' —The evening before his - wedding Edward. went to raake confession to the priest of his parish. The :Confession ended. 'Pardon, father," said Ed- ward: " it seams to me you have forgot- ten to set me a penance." "Didn't you tell me that you were going to get mar- ried ?" "Yes, father." • "Very well, then—" —And now the story that Moody and Sankey drew their support from the sale of their hyimi books is branded as apoc- ryphal, and their daily- sustenance is consigned once more to the mysterious ravens; The revivalists, by the way, are having their customary success at New Haven. , . After his engagement there Mr. Moody promises a day or two to the Clinton; Massachusetts people. —Elbert W. Brown, Principal .of the Eighteenth Ward Evening School, at . York, deducted from the pay of one of his teachers, Kate Newell, two cents ' for being one minute late. But the Auditor fouud that this was one-third of a cent too much, and restored Miss Newell'salary- to its full figure, de- claring that "the city shouldwaive the fraction rather thau claim more thae the exact penalty!" —The 'Milwaukee St. ntin el tells the fol- lowing: At a supper -table night be, - fore last, a conversation had been car- ried. on for quite a while on a marriage ; to take place soon, and the merits (lithe bride were discussed quite freely, and I also the probabilities of her making a good wife.. A. little four-year-old boy at ! the table had evidently been... an atten- 1 tiye listener, though he had not been noticed. Th cotupany were surprised to hear him mark, as he 'leaned over THE HUM* EXPOSITOR. to kiss his mother, Ma, when I get big enough, I'm going to marry a lady just like yon. Wouldn't 'oo marry me, ma?' queried thelittle fellow. —" Sound," said the schoolmaster, "is what you hear. For instan.ee, you calmest feel a sound." "Oh yes, you can" said a smart boy. "John Wil- son," retorted the pedagogue, "how do you Blake that out? What sound cati you feel?" "A sound threshing," quick- ly replied the smart boy. "Correct," said. the schoolm.aster. "Come up." And the smart boy felt and smarted. —A. dinner was given in London re- cently M aid. of the Village Homes for Little Girls, established by the Prin- cess Mary in 1871. The object is to ed- ucate the waifs and strays of the streets The undertaking is in a very flourishing condition. The expenditure during the last year was £3,900 and. the receipts L3,300. The children number 180, and they are notkept all together but in sepa- rate houses, ten being the maximum number allowed- under one roof. —The London papers recently pub! lished a telegram from Australia, say- ing that the Governor of Queensland was the father of twins, the eldest a son. As the Governor is a bachelor, the announcement caused a sensation. Subsequent investigation proved the de- spatch originally read: "Governor Queensland turns first sod," referring to a railway. The operator in. England read "Governor Queensland, twins, first son." —Henry Ward Beecher's brother James preached. in Plymouth church Sunday, the pastor being off on a lec- turing tour, and said: "1 preach at home in a little school house in the wil- derness. We have a little cabinet or- gan and I play it myself, because we have no other organist. I am also sex- -kin and usher. I play simple tunes to the glory of God, and the rough back- woods people join in singing the hymns. I don't know anything about hell, but I know a great deal about heaven." —An attempted fraud on the Masonic Mutual Assurance Association has just been detected. M. S. Brownell, of Vi- enna, Elgin County, Ontario, was a member, and removed to Rochester, N. Y., from whence he one day set sail in a small boat on Seneca Lake. The boat was found several days afterwards with Brownell's hat and coat in it, but he had disappeared. Search for the body proved vain. The usual application was made for the insurance money, about 118,000, but payment was with- held. Photographs of the individual were obtained and one of them sent to Fort Worth, Texas, where the fellow was found living with an unknown wo- man as her brother. She is supposed to be a wealthy widow whom he had. met during his travels before leaving home. To Prevent Wornay Apples. A German pomologist has discovered a simple method of preserving apples from the nasty worms, which' so fre- quently lurk at the coke or which bore to the surface, leaving a trail of filth be- hind them. The moth parent of the worm., it was observed, oftenest lays its eggs between the leaves of the calix,, and the plan is to cut off the calix close to the apple when it has reached the size of a hazel or walnut. The prem- inent situation of the calix at that period of the fruit's growth greatly facilitates its removal, and several hun- dreds can be done in an hour. Da those instances in which the cutting slightly damaged the calix tube the wound. soon healed over and became covered with a yellowish green, cork -like sub- stance, the latter eventually closiug the tube, and thus creatinot'an impassable barrier to the insect. He regards the shape of the apple, this is somewhat al- tered by the above treatment, so as to render the variety less easily._ distin- guishable, but the slight diminution in length, resulting from its adoption, is more than compensated for by increas- ed. thickness, total absence of grub, and, consequently, generally finer appear- ance. For the purpose of comparison, a considerable portion of the fruit on each of the, trees selected for the orig- inal experiment had been left in its na- tural state, and the apples operated on were chosen quite at random, regard- less of aspect or situation. The fallen fruit under the different trees was found to consist exclusively of Such as had not been operated on. • Remarkable Event. The London Echo gives the following piece of true history: "Three weeks since the parish of Stirchley, in Shrop- shire, was happy in the possession of a parish church 700 years old, and a par= Son and parish clerk each of whom had seen four score summers, and had serv- ed in their respective capacities for more than half a century. On October 12, the parson died of old age; since then the clerk has followed him ; and on Sunday week, while the congregation were assembled within its walls for pub- lic worship, the church suddenly parted down the side walls, and entirely acress the ceiling and roof, causing consterna- tion among the parishioners, most of whom ran out of the building, while a few sought safety under the tower arch. If the late rector postponed restoration, sunder the idea that the building would last his time, he made a remarkably ac- curate estimate." - Health of Cities. London is healthier than New York. The mortality in London is only one in 41, whereas in New York it is one n 34. Yet London is five timesas lar as New York, with only one-third. Jnore park room. Central Park, co ming 776 acres, is just double the size of Hyde* Park, the boast of England. Leave out Hyde Park, the Central Park is larger than any othertwo parks in London. The Croton water is the purest supplied to any large city in the world. Yet with the purest airage and the finest water, more persons die every year iu New York than in any other large city on the surface of the globe, whose statistics are known. What is the cause? It is found in our dwell- ings. Too many people live in the same house. Too many sleep in small, dis- mal, ill -ventilated rooms, attics, cellars and the middle one of three rooms deep. Ami London streets are kept clean, both from mud and heaps of garbage and other putrefying matter. Nothing but the grossest neoligeuee on the part of its officials could reduce New York to such a sanitary condition as would augment her rates of mortality above those of Loudon, which has not a tithe of the natural advantages of New York, in a sanitary point of view.
