The Cider Mill.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Tinder the blue New England skies,
Flooded with sunshine a valley lies.
The mountains clasp it warm and sweet,
Like asunny child to their rocky feet.
Three pearly hakes and a hundred streams
Lie on its quiet heart of dreams.
Its meadows are greenest ever scen,
Its harvest fields have the brightest sheen;
Through its trees the softest sunlight shakes,
And the whitest lilies gem its lakes. _ .
I love, oh I better than words can tell,
Its every nook and grove and dell;
Bat most I love the gorge Nihere the rill
Comes down by the old brown cider mill.
Above the clear springs gurgle out
And the upper meadows wind about,
Then join, and under willows flow
'Round knolls where the bluebeech whip -stocks
grow, .
To rest in a shady pool that keeps
The oak trees clasped in its crystal deeps;
Sheer twenty feet the water falls
Down from the old dam's broken walls.
Spatters the knobby boulders gray,
And, laughing, dies in the shade away,
Under great rocks, through trout pools still,
With many a tumble down to the mill,
All the way down the nut trees grow,
And squirrels hide above and below.
Acorns beechnuts, chestnuts there
Drop all the fall through the hazy air;
And burrs roll down with curled up leaves,
In the mellow light of harvest eves.
Forever there the still old trees
Drink a wine of. peace that has no lees.
By the roadside Stands the cider mill,
Where a lowland slumber waits the rill;
A great brown building, two stories high,
On the Western hill -face warm and dry;
And odorous piles of apples there .
ER with incense the golden air;
And heaps of pomace, mixed with straw,
To their amber sweets the late flies draw.
The carts back up to the upper door,
And spill their treasures in on the floor;
Down through the toothed wheels they go
To the wide, deep eider press below.
And the ..crews are turned by slow degrees
Down on the straw -laid eider ch
And with each turn a fuller stream
Bursts from beneath the groaning beam,
Art amber stream the gods might sip,
And fear no morrow's parched lip;
But wherefore gods? Those idle toys
Were soulless to real Ntsw England boys.
What classic goblet ever felt
Such thrilling touches through it melt,
As throb electric along a aravr
When the boyish lips the cider -draw ?
The years are heavy with weary sounds,
And their discords life's sweet music drowns ;
And vet I hear, oh! sweet, oh!' sweet,
The XIII that bathed my bare, brown fret;
And yet the cider drips and falls
On my inward ear at interval;
And I list at times in a sad, sweet dream,
To the babbling of that little stream;
And I sit in a visioned autumn still,
In the sunny door of the eider mill.
The Dairy Produce Trade of
• the Dominion.
The recent stiffening of the deman
for, and increase in the prices of butte
wad cheese, renders seasonable a revidw
of the dairy produce trade of the D6
minion, which continues animally
grow in importance. Indeed, the de
velopmeut in this department of Can
adieu industry has been remarkabl
during the last ten years, This is par
ticularly true of our production o
cheese, our exports of which have in
creased over 80a per- cent. since 1869
which must be considered rapid expan
sioa for a single decade. !, For a tim
the erection of cheese faotories had tb
effect of reducing the production o
batter, but it would appear, from. the
tatistics we are about to submit, that
utter -making rallied again during 1877
.nd 1878, the experts thereof .in the
ormer year being the largest but one of
ny year's production of which we have
record.
The fluctuations in our exports of
airy products during the last years can
e seen at a -glance by the -following of6.-
ial statements thereof:

That our exports of cheese should
ave advanced from 4,500,000 lbs. (in
and numbers) in 1869, to the large
uaraity of 39,300,000 in 1878, indicates
ow rapidly and extensively the cheese
actory system has extended itself over
e Province, as well I as the great
hange which must have resulted in the
ystem of farming. The foregoing fig,
ea also 'prove that our production of
utter is not falling off, buaremains as
xge as when the quantity of cheese
ade each year was comparatively

ry low during 1879, until a slight im-
ovement recently took place. This

crease of production, but we hardly
ink so, as the collateral advantages
the farmer from less grain growing
d keepiug more cattle, are likely to
crease the popularity of both cheese

How valuable this trade is to the Do-
minion, needs no further attestation.
than these statistics, which show a re-
turn of fifty-three millions of dollars in
ten years. . Great Britain continues to
be the chief marketfor our butter and
cheese. During 1878, for example, out
of 13,500,000 lbs. of butter exported by
Ca -nada, she took 11,400,000 lbs.; and of
39,300,000 lbs. of cheese, she took 37,-
600,000 lbs. Newfoundland purchased
over one million pounds of our butterand
the United States a.bout three-quarters
of a million.. Of cheese, the Americans
look one and a half million pounds!.
The British, Spanish and Danish West
Indies, all took a portion of our dairy
products, but the quantities were so
small as only to bring out into bolder
relief ' how dependent we are on the
British. market for the consumption of
the large surplus of butter and cheese
which we annually produce.
The Maritime Provinces, it is sur-
prising to find, continue to contribute
very little to our eiports of dairy pro-
du3ts. The quantity shipped from New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island
in 1878 was merelynominal. Nova
Scotia did a little better. Its exports
were 688,829 lbs. of butter, and 13,548
lbs. of cheese, which were chiefly sent
to Newfoundland and the West Thies.
Neither Columbia nor Manitoba yet ex-
port any butter or cheese, but we think
it cannot be long until the latter Pro-
vince, with its magnificent prairies, be-
comes a larger prodecer of both, and an
active competitor with Ontario for the
British markets.
Closely allied with our trade in dairy
products, has been the egg trade.
There being no 'United.- States duty,
Most of our eggs alio marketed in that
country. The growth of this business
has been very steady during the last ten
years, and was larger than ever during
1878. The returns of our exports fur-
nish ample proof of this, aud -they are
as fellows :

In our exports of eggs, we are glad to
observe that the Lower Provinces add
considerably to the figures. Taking
1878 as an example, we find that Nova
Scotia: exported 145,000 dozens, New
Brunswick 584,000 dozens, and Prince
Edward Island 444,000 dozens. Al-
though a tracle not devoid of risks,
money has been and continues to be
made by dealers in eggs, but in that, as
in every other department of business,
skill and experience are now absoltitely
necessary to success.
The progress made during the past
decade in these portions of our export
trade is highly satisfactory, and we have
every confidence that, future advances
will equal those' under review. It is,a
well -attested fact that as time goes on',
the wheat zone of America gradually
centres further west. And as we raise
less wheat in the older Provinces of the
Dominion, the farmers will naturally.
• turn their attention more to dairy pro-
ducts. We lhave, therefore, every ma:
son to anticipate the continued, and
steady development of this depart-
ment of Canadi u trade, thee) which
none is more ben ficial to the farmer,

try at large.—Honetcale Times.

to having 'them 1- made loose.. For a
warm foot a loose shoe is necessary; a
tight shoe makes a cold foot. The
shoe must be so large that several pairs
of stockings can be worn if necessary.
If one is not enough, then two; if two
are insufficient, then three or four.
When your measure is taken, have on
as many thicknesses of stockings as you
think you will treed to wear at the cold-
est season. So you cold -footed tribe,
see that there is ro6m enough in your
winter shoes to contain your feet and
enough stockings besides- to keep you
warm in the most Arctic weather!
Cork or felt soles on the inside, next to
the feet, will be found to be very useful
also.
A Curious Industry.
The principal industry of the town of
West Falmouth, Mass., is tying busi-
ness tags with bits of strings, by which
the tags may be attached to articles
which require to be labelled. A corre-
spondent writing froth that village says:
".These tags are cut elsewhere and. -sent
in bulk to West Falmouth. The string
is also' .sent , in skeins. The business
here. is to cut the string in suitable
'lengths, tie one into each tag and re.
turn it to the manufacturer in Boston.
This sounds simple enough and small
enough,.and yet it furnishes occupation
to, between 300 or 400 persons, and in-
volves an elaborate system of book-
keeping. The business has been car-
ried on by a woman for the last twenty
years. The orders which were once
j filled in ti bushel basket now require
large freight boxes, and amount to an
aggregate of forty millions of tags in a
year. The little pink strings are reeled
off and cut in given lengths and bunches,
each bunch having 101 strings. These
strings,are given out by the 1,010, to-
gether.with a corresponding number of
tags, to people coming to the office for
them, and are paid for at the rate of 12
to 17 cents a thousand. Young children
tie with their mothers, and even old
tnen, and it is the great source of pin
money in the cominunity."
New Invention.
Samples of hardwood lumbei made
from common wheat straw, have lately
been exhibited in Illinois. • The wood
has all the polish and finish of the hard-
est.black walnut and mahogany. An
ordinary straw board, such as is usually
made at any paper mill, is used for pro-
ducing it. As many sheets are taken as
are required to make the thickness de-
slred. These sheets are passed through
a chemical solution, -which thoroughly
softens the fibre and completely satur-
ates it. The whole is next drawn
through a_ succession of .rollers, dried
and hardened -during the process as well
aspolished, and then comes out of the
other end_ of the machine hard, dry lum-
ber, ready for use. It is said that the
chemical substances hardening in the
fibre entirely prevent water soaking,
and render the lumber combustible only
in a very hot fire. The hardened finish
on the outside also makes it impervious_
to water. The samples which have
been exhibited could hardly be distin-
guished from hardwood lumber, and in
sawing the material the difference could
not be detected

- Soft Beds.
There are differencesin opinion in re
gara-to the best. , beds for refreshing
sleep, some persons advocating soft and
some hard beds. The difference be-
tween them is that the weight of a body
on a soft bed presses on a larger surfaee
thau upon a hard bed, and, consequent-
ly, more comfort is enjoyed. Hard. beds
should never be given to little children,
and parents who suppose that such -beds
contribute to health by hardening and
developing the constitution are surely
in error. Eminent physicians—both
here and in England—concur in this
opinion, and state that hard beds have
often proved injurious to the shape of
infants. Birds and animals cover their
offspring with the softest materials
the can can obtain, and also make soft beds
for them ; and the softness of a bed is
not evidence of its being unwholesome.
But if it is not 'kept sweet and clean by
daily airings and frequent beatings—
whether it is hard or soft—is surely in-
jurious to health. _
Cold 'Feet.
Some persons are afflicted with cold
feet. Their pedal extremities grow cold
in September, and reinain so until the
following May. We often receive in-
quiries from this class of people as to
how they shall have warm feet. This
is the proper time to consider such in- I
quiry. It is fair to presume that if the
feet -are cold they are not sufficiently
covered from the low temperature that
surrounds them. If the body is not
warm in winter more clothing is put on
until no unpleasant sensations are felt
rom the cold. Why not treat the feet
n the same manner? We state it
our deliberate opinion that -the best way
