Professor Boedeker has analyzed- the milk of a healthv cow at various times of the day, with the view of determining the changes in the relative amount of its -con stituents.

In the morning they amount to 2.17 per cent, at noon 2.63 per cent, and in the evening o.52 per cent. This fact is important in a practical point of iew; for while sixteen ounces of morning's milk will yield nearly half anounce.of buttr,' about double this quantity may be obtained from the eve ning's milk. ; .-The casein is also increased in the eveninir's milk from 2.24 to 2.70 per cent; but the albumen is diminished from 0,44 per cent: to 0,31 per cent 1 . 1 ' . . -.. gar is least abundant at midnight (4. 19 per cent) and most plenty at noon (4.72 per cent).

Joshua JNaylor succeeded; and why? Because he added the lights of experience to the innate' or acquired elements of success in his character. Those elements were, concentration of mind on a definite object, with a will to dare acd to do; a .

Jr. L. from Emery's ioarnal of Agricnltare. Artichokes A Response. In No. 14 of your Journal, you have an article on artichokes and ask for mforma tion. Now, what knowledge I have of them, I impart to you with the greatest good will. In all our (I say our, for there is more than one who joins in with me yjnn- what I say of the artichoke) experience with them, wLich has been over twenty years, we have found no good in them. So then, the good qualities I will leave for some one else to tell. With us they have been evil and continually evil. Mr. Somebody says they yield bountifully; no doubt so do most bad things. I suppose the Canada thistle would yield many lUB auaua bushelsio the acre; but for this reason tunii : shall we raise them ? Of a truth, I had rather have the Canada thistle sown on my larra than the artichoke, and l-had I iVaw ami . w . .si-t A v.1.a .!..

A ' portion of the lacd infested by thera wo fenced oJ, and turning a dozen hoj into : it, we said with John, the ostler, "Root, , hog,or die." To-day we are farther t from success than fifteen years ago. I had a garden spot, in which there were some of -thess land plagues; at a. rouh guess, I Jug uja3bout a thousand as tho tops appeared, some cf thera a foot and a half deep, and many more which were in , the rows I cut off as often as once a week ' in eight or ten weeks; I thought - I Lad : conquered them, but this ' spring I find many of thera thee yet. . , Now to those who think of planting . them, I would raise a warning voice, and say, beware ' how any one imposes on -you. Why will you make this mistake, for if you pknt thna, you will find it to ' be the greatest mistake you evsr made in farming. If any of your readers can tell us how to rid our farms of this plague, we will remember his name as long as wo live and at the same time tell us if the whim about the Lombardy Poplar being ' poison and breeding a deadly worm is true or not. u . L. B. Statistics. 'A Minnesota pioneer" writing to tho Journal of Agriculture of the importance of establishing an exchange of experience among farmers, says : Statistics are what we want, and if every one, or a part, at least, would, on the coming spring, begin a report of his operations on one field or all, of one kind of his crops or more, and give a systematic report in full to this or . some other good agricultural paper, at the close of , his work, giving the time of plowing, plantiug or sowing, hoeing and harvesting, kind of weather and soil, the cost and the price obtained, or its value, and if he has a thermometer give its mean indications, he will give as valuable a re cord and confer as great an amount of knowledge as though he wrote a rolume theories, and commented in glowing lan..' guage upon the beauties of some fanciful may-bes. ' As yet, we have no railroads or tele- graphs whereby we are the immediate '. recipients of the experience of the States, or lean we be acquainted with the condi- tion of the markets, except through the medium of a journal or paper, and for some time we must depend upon this -mode of acquiring these facts. Let them come before the sons of the soil, that they i may be profitedthereby. Farmers, one and all, look well at this point; keep a : register and record of your circumstances and work, and see the coming fall if you can't add to the metorological tables of . our country, an! tell us if you can get ; paid for your expenditure of tune and money, if you do not give your result to the perusal cf the readers of any agri cultural paper, you will know what it ; costs you to live, and how you stand with our farm whether a loser or gainer. It will take but a little tune, and soon it will I be a pleasure, I am a farmer, end will contribute- ; In Season and oat of Season. . I take it for granted thai all farmers ' have their programme for the eominr season well considered, and will be ready for action at the earliest practicaale mo ment. It is a too common failing, with even very good farmers, indeed, to neg- - ect this most important part. ith sys tematic arrangements which anticipate the needs and wants in proper season, the ' abor of four men upon the farm is equal " to six without system. We too often com. mence in the spring with the intention of making certain improvements if we have time and nothing happens to prevent, and when that is the planning, most invariab- y we are behind tune, and something does happen to defeat our designs in part. and that part is often essential to success as a whole. The prudent and calcuktin? armer says, such and such thing must be done, it will pay to do thera, by goo4 managing I have the means, and, "by the Eternal," they shall be done. Men who make up their minds in this war. are generally favored by the Great Eternal, and their purposes are accomplished, the old proverb, "God help those who help themselves," holding good in agricultural as in other pursuits. L, G. C. To Care Bots. We find the following in the N. Y. Spirit of the Times : "When your horse has the bots, first give him some sage tea. Boil the sage in a quart ot milk, and sweeten with molasses. Half an hour after drench your horse with two vials of laudanum; in three-quarters of an hour after, drench with three-fourths of a pound of salts, and your horse will be well in three hours, or as soon as the salts operate. The tea will make the. bots let loose, the laudanum will put them to sleep, and the salts will cause them to pass from your horse. I warrant the en- ' oa a fair triaL" You are setting fence posts.
