It is scarce to Te wondered at that we

vulgarity in' society, when we look at the
Dlaces where the ceoDle bnn? ud aheir

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. He found the solids of the
evening imilk (13 per cent) exceeding
those of the morning milk (10 per cent),
while the .water contained in the fluid was
diminished from 89 per cent to 36 per
cent, lne fatty matters craduallv in
crease as the 'day .progresses. 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

We see by the Eastern papers that the
Pastors of) the different denominations in
theEast have" become "so .zealous"' in .the
cause of religion that they not only 'pray
for the cpnver5ion of mankind in general
but are offering ud upnlicaions to Deity
for the conversion of ministers of other
denominations in particular. For instance
the Rev. Mr. Chambers prays thus for
the Rev Xheoore Parker :

her charcterhad been traduced," and hence
this quietus upon her life. When will

''Don't know," says Jacob, "he's a mighty

he'll make in the tree years, constantly

Joshua JNaylor succeeded; and why?
Because he added the lights of experience

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

gently set ourselves upon checking1 their '.
farther conquests, and we have been bet ,
tling with them ever since. Last spring ,
and summer we hired a few toliiert of
the hoe to come to our assistance. 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

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- '
