Educated Farmers.
en Ohio farther writes the following
instructive and interesting article: '
I ha;e-e been &waged in working on
farms more than' -fifty years. Fifteen
years laboring for farm.ers during sum-
• mers, and teaching. school during win-
ters: In 1834, with aged parents and
vo dependent sisters, I came to Ohio
from the east when but seventeen years
old, with bat $45 and very little beside.
Thirty dollars. ;were used to get a con-
tract on fifty acres of wild land at the
beginning of a severe winter. I paid
for the land, working and teaching at
$10 to !$12 a month, besides studying at
night, payiug my expenses at a good
high school, and assisting my sisters
also to obtain an education so that they
might help themselves and others
The farm has been added to until it
consists of hundreds of acres, and upon
which their are thousands of bearing
•fruit trees, which this year paid .me
nearly $1.000. Also, I have raised a
large fanijly, and so educated the mem-
biers that all those old enough are
tes,chers of schools, and' when out of
sane' they are not ashamed•to labor
on the farm or assist in. the housework,
and not one ever drank intoxicating
liquors. I do not tell these facts to
boast, but to shone what education can
do—education in books, edu.cation in
farming, and education in horticulture;.
and, in addition to the above, for
twerTty years I have Carried on an ex-
tensive 'nursery, e.ud held several re-
sponsible county offices in the last
twenty seven years. r.
I have kept for forty years from one-
. to two hired hands, and the better
educated iia books and intelligence, the
better I liked. them the better they
would.understand their work. Thanks
to our good system of common scheols,
we have no natives who cannot read
and. write, and I will not hire inexperi-
enced foreigners. They are -but " eye
servants," and tog many of them rob
and murder their empfoyers.-
- One of the best farmers in our county
began as as poor boy, and has now re-
tirecVevealthy in his old age, to live on
the interest of his money after filling a
-life of usefelness, hielding township aucl
county offices, honorably occupying the
office of County Judge, and practising
the art of surveying. The wealthiest
man in our township is Dr. B. He and
• his father began life poor; both are
well educated in books and. are now
rich in farms alai money. Their splen-
did buildings well repaired, are kept
painted, fences bcreed and ,fruits fine.
And so the rule will hold. good
throughout our entire country, and
the successful ignorant mau is the ex-
ception.
Whe.t is the object of life? What
should be our aim and object? Is it
only to delve and, heard dollars and
eents, to add acre to acre, aud keep our
laborers in ignorance like the serf or
'lave? Shall wo, like the swine always
keep our beads down and. our noses
turning up the soil, never looking about
or above us; or shall the object of life
be to educate ourselves and our families,
to be useful to theinselves, useful to
their families and useful to all about
them ; useful to .society the church and
the state? I commonly take from five
to ten papers of different kinds, and
possess a library well filled with books
on theology, law, history, farming,
architectiare, hor•ticulture, -floriculture,
stock raising, poultry, landscape gar-
dening, etc., etc. My children- and my-
self readthem all. • I think the best
way is to crise them amuseme t nd en
joyment at home; to: .keep them away
from the saloone and dens of vice,
better thau all of the commands and
floggings of- parents. Oue farmer near
me tekesno papers and buys no books.
The result is hie boys pilfer the neigh
bor'sJruit trees. One of them has been
in' the penitentiary; and pne enlisted in
the army and deserted, taking his horse,
and equipments. I consider it too late
in the day to plead for ignorance in any.
,class of persons.
• Counterfeit Eggs.
The following from the British Medi-
cal fotirnat shows what a high opinion
the ordinary Briton has of the genius of
%of the Yankee: It is well known that
-in-America every thing iS counterfeited;
the wooden hanis and.1 nutmegs sent
from the New England States are -well
rem.embered. Eggs a0 now also
counterfeited, and this anufacture is
carried out on a large cale. On one
side of a large room the reporter saw
several large copper vess ls filled with
a thick glutinous yellow xiass which a
man Was constantly stir). ne This was
the yellow of the egg= he yolk. On
the opposite side were s nailer vessels,
in which the white s as fabricated.
The eggshells were made of a white sub-
stance resembling plaste of Paris, by
-means of a blowpipe, jus as soap bub-
bles are blown. After b ing dried in an
oven, the egg shells we e filled, first
with artificial albumen, then with
some of the artificial yolk, and lastly
with a little of the artificial albumen.
The small opening at -the end of the
egg was closed with white cement, and
the greatest achievement of modern
civilization, the artificial egg, was
ready. In appearance it resembles a
natural egg; but whether • cooked or
raw, it was indigestible and injurious
to health.
, A Cup of Coffee.
—To make a cup of good coffee is an
essential art. Many women who pride
themselves, and justly, upon their skill
fail here. For early risers and those
who require -an early breakfast there is
a mode of making coffee so generally
practised as to be almost universal
in tlils country, and that is simply to
boil the ground coffee foria few minutes
and then either settle the- grounds with
cold water or give them time to settle
gradually. This mode can be greatly
improved by corking the spout with a
cork, cloth or .paper, thus preventing
the escape of steam which arises from
the boiling coffee. By the escape of
the steam we lose much of the aromatic
flavor that renders the coffee so pala-
table. Let those who cook coffee after
this method try our plan, and they will
find a vast improvement. An eminent
chemist recommends the -following
as a -favorite way of making this
now universal beverage: Three-fourths
of the, coffee should be boiled and
the remaining fourth infused, after
which the whole should be mixed. By
this means both the strength and flavor
are increased. To preserve the flavor
of ground coffee it should be wet with
the syrup of sugar ; in this wak the
volatile parts of the coffee are prevented
from escaping. As heretofore said,
coffee after being retested should be
excluded from the air and kept in a dry
place if not used at once, as it alsorbs
from the atmosphere and gradually
loses its fla,vor.
Dairy Management in Winter.
Dairymen - are learning every year
more and more about their businessns
It usecl to be considered good manage-
ment for a dairyman to get through the
winter season with as little expenditure
of food'as possible. It was a common
thing for a smart one to boast how
cheaply he had carried his herd through
the cold. season, principally on straw,
saying: " They are a little thin, but
they will pick up when grass comes."
This man did not seem to _realize that,
the " picking up " would all be expend -1
ed on the recovery of lost condition, and
• that very little milk would be produced
while this was going eon.. Most dairy-
men have learned, ere this, that a cow
in poor condition in spring will.yield a
comparatively poor return. of milk
through the season. They have learned
that "something never comes from
nothing,& and that no policy is more
suicidal than for a dairyman to winter
his cows OD innutritious food,so as to re -
deice their flesh. Every dairyman who
has observed the effect oficondition on
the flow of milk after calving, knows
that extea flesh represents an extra yield
of milk. It, is not difficult to deter-
mine very -closely how much milk every
pound of, extra fat and flesh represents.
A deep milker is very apt to draw so
heavily upon her own flesh as to become
thin at the end of the season, having
used all the extra food. consumed during
the summer in the secretion of milk,
besides her extra flesh in the spring.
If a, cow has accumulated. 100 pounds of
extra flesh or fat during the winter, she
ill yield (if a good milker) at least 500
pounds more milk during the season, or
5 pounds of milk for oleo of extra flesh
or fat. We think'six Pounds of milk to
one of fat is nearer the actual yield.
The dairyman, therefore, who does not
feed his cows well through the winter is
not 6nly unmindful of the comfort of
his cows, but is cheating himself out of
the profits of the next season.

The best sap weather is when
away in clouds. You see the light of
• other fires in the distant woods where
Other,lonery watchers like yourself are
busy at their work, and after a while
the waning moon names up and her
light struggles in among the trees. If
the air is clear and still the tinkle of
the falling drops of sap can be heard at
• a distance of many yards, a clear
melodious sound, like a single stroke of
a tiny silver bell; and as the pitch
varies somewhat according to the
bucket orthe depth of sap, or for some
other reason, you may enjoy a - unique
concert, if twenty or thirty trees stand
close enough together to enable you, to
heanthem all at once. Now several
drops fall all at once, then the filter -
vela gradually widen, then narrow again
while others chimein, giving rise to a
sort of irregular sort of rhythm and
cadence. No one notices it in the' day
time, and the distance at which it is
audible at night is surprising. That

A Prime Article of Vinegar.
The•faet that a prime article of vine-
gar always finds a ready market at a
remunerative price makes it worth the
while of every farmer having a surplus
amount of apples and cider on hand te
turn his attention to the manufacture
of cider -vinegar, which is the best 'kind
• made.
When vinegar is manufactured direct-
ly from the apples the usual method is
to grind the, fruit coarsely, cutting it
up just sufficiently to gain juice, and
let the pomace remain in a vat for sev-
eral days, long enough to undergo fer-
mentation. Then press, cut and expose
the juice. in open vat. or vessel two or
three days, after- which draw it off into
barrels or casks and let remain in a
warm place, with the bungs out, until
ready for drawing gff and bottling or
storing in closed barrels.
To convert eider into vinegar by al-
lowing the acid feementation to take
place in a proper temperature requiies
considera,ble time. The eider is placed
in casks or barrels—irou-bouind whiskey
casks or old vinegar barrels are best—
with the bungs out and stored either in
1Oft, out -house or similar spat, warmed
by the sun's rays or kept at the right
temperature by artificial heat. Farmers
not unfrequently add a small amount of
vinegar, water or a little "mother to
hasten the operation. When a rapid
conversion is desired the cider is moved
to a higher temperature and poured
from one barrel to another, to bring it
into more direct contact with the air;
or it is divided and. exposed to the air
.by placing. it where it will trickle
through a cask filled with oak, beech or
birch shavings previously mcistened m
vinegar. By allowing the liquid to pass
through the shavings two or three
times it is soon converted into strong
inegar.
The Coldest Town on the Globe.
People who are not satisfied. with
New York winter weather may go to a
town which Humboldt and other travel-
lers have pronounced the coldest on the
Globe. This is jekutsk (or ,Yekootsk),
chief town of the province of that name
it Eastern Siberia, on the left bank of
-the River Lena, 62 deg. 1 min: north
longtitude, 119 deg. 44 min. east, and
distant from St. Petersburg 5,951 miles.
The ground remains continually frozen
to the depth of 500 feet, exeept in raid -
summer,. when it thaws theee feet at
the surface. During ten day S in August
the thermometer marks 85 degrees,
but from November to February it
ranges from 42 to 68 degrees below
zero, and the river -is solid ice for nine
months out of the twelve. The entire
• industry a the place—population about
5,000—is comprised of candleworks, and
yet it is the principal market of Eastern
Siberia for traffic with the hunting tribes
of the Buriats. The former, mostly
nomadic, having large herds of horses
and cattle, bring to market butter,
which is sent on horseback to the Port
Okhotsk. The Buriats, also nomadic,
bring quantities of skins of sables, foxes,
Martens, hares, squirrels and the like,
and many of them are sold at the great
fair in June, which, with May, is the
active period of the year. In May the
collected goods are conveyed to the sea-
ports, whence they are sent in every
direction. The merchandise, chiefly
furs and mammoth tusks, sold at the
fair amount in value to 400,000 roubles
($300,000.)
