A university, which is open to all classes, was recently established t in Odessa, and a report, just issued, * shows that it is a pronounced success. Popular lectures have been delivered on history, geography, chemistry, = geology, physics, literature and other p subjects, and they have been attended by 4750 students. The lectures on literature proved ? most attractive, the number of stu1 dents attending them being 814, while ? those on geology attracted only 413 f students. Most of tbe students come 9 from the State schools, and the others * received their early education at \ home. Of the entire number more than a thousand belong to the labor' ing class. A similar university has been opened in Moscow, but has not li, proved as successful, and apparently i- for the reason that certain unpopular r- restrictions are imposed on the stu10 dents. J. A third university of the same kind will be established in St. Petersburg at an early date. In taking this step the Russian authorities are following the example of England, which has had popular schools and colleges for Z several years. ?New York Herald.

As soon as the corn is three or four 6ei inches high, I put on a large smooth- Pr' ing harrow which covers three rows, aD letting the team walk astride the middie row. After the harrowing is com- 1 pleted let the boys go over it and nn- r?c cover any plants that may have been ' pulledjdown or covered with the har- J 1 row. This work can be done by means | of-sinall hand rakes made as follows: ?r< For the head take a piece of board ^ lxl J inches. On one edge drive four- inch Avire nails one inch apart. For a handle use an old broom handle or a rake handle cut to the proper length. Cross harrow in about eight days, . if the corn is not too large, and nncover with a rake as before. After this discard the harrows and use one Jj* . horse cultivators for the remainder of .ai the season, going over the ground at in? intervals of from eight to ten days, ^ according to the -weather, whether "~ weeds are present or not. This mode ? of culture may seem cruel to some, a? es* dehorning cattle or severely pruning ?e! an orchard. However, it has been s?c my plau for the last two years, and a.T my neighbors all admit that I have sir one of^the best cornfields in our part . of the country. Scarcely a hill is miss- P01 ing and the field is perfectly clean. Some may want to know how the 60] corn escaped the fate of the weeds in ou its early treatment. The weeds at this ?ei stage are on the purface and a .single stroke of the harrow turns them out and if not completely destroyed, tbe 8 second stroke eight days later will kill ' them entirely, while the corn on the Ff_3 contrary has been planted two or three 1"* inches deep. The roots strike down, ?er, and are so thoroughly set by the time a' the plant is from three to five inches ? high that a very few hills will be disturbed by the harrow. The ground is a thoroughly stirred around the roots, as which is a benefit to the crop after- mB ward. On light, loamy land, care mu6t be taken to use a light harrow. .I0 For corn ground all strawy manure re or stable should be well plowed un- . der. If this has not not been done . the harrow will be clogged and the ?us cultivator interfered with later. The more frequent the rainfall the more |an frequent must be the cultivator, for Q the crust must b* broken as soon as 9 possible after the rain.

U8< rec Charred Grain For Stock. mil It is always customary with farmers th? who feed much corn to fattening hogs, sta to give them a little charcoal daily, to cr correct acidity arising from its fer- tur mentation in the stomach.

The gizd of a hen is so strong that it proby does no harm to punish it with oe charred oats, which with tbe bull rned off are as pood as wheat, and i perhaps even better. In the coldweather in winter we have fed irred oats to both fattening hogs I to poultry while the grain was II wartn.

The process of cream ripening is a id of fermentation, just as the uiation of alcohol or vinegar is a mentation. The cause of the fersntation which takes place in cream the growth and development of an mense number of bacteria. The Dper ripening of cream takes place ten the right kiud of bacteria proce the fermentation, and the pro*8 is allowed to proceed to exactlj b right point.

Considerable trouble can avoided if the creamery operators e the proper methods. One of the wa dairy school instructors is often at to creameries that are unable to duce the desirea qnanty 01 ontter d he assists them to fix the trouble d provide a remedy. The methods is instructor generally uses to cor;t these faults are to require strict anliness about the buildings end jnsils, rejecting milk which has not en cared for in such a manner as to jvent it from becoming tainted, and the use of good starters. These > all applications of the principles bacteriology. Good, clean milk is absolutely lential to produce the best results. buttermaker can take milk foul th dirt and filth and all that goe9 th them and make a lirst-class Kluct. There are. of course, cer> n ways iu which such milk can be proved and serious results someat averted. What we want to proce a good butter flavor is cream it will sour with no o'ther taste, jecially of nnpleasant taints Bugjtive of filth contamination. Tc sure this there are two points to be fays kept in mind: First, undeable fermentations must be kept t; the second point to be kept in nd is desirable fermentations must present, i. e., those which causc iring. Simply keeping bad flavor ; is not always sufficient. The ms which produce a good flavor st be added if not already there, is is accomplished by the use of rters. le used in dairying a starter is a :tion of milk or buttermilk contain; a large number of the germs of mentation supposed to give a good for. The purpose of its use is netimee to hasten the Bonring, but greatest value is in controlling the vor. I consider the use of a starter absolutely necessary if the butter,ker expects to make uniform highide butter. Under the beBt condins, that is when the milk is clean, e from filth bacteria, as is more apt be in summer, butter can be made ;li no starter probably sometimes it as good as with one, but at least the state with which I am most ailiar, it is impossible to make good tter in the winter time without a rter. When a starter is in the proper idition it has a sha'-p acid taste, with unclean or disagreeable taste or jr. It does not wjeyoffas Boon as thickens, but remains in a solid d with no bubbles showing gas. e only way to tell when a starter is bt is by taste and odor, and the ir should learn to judge this coritly. The temperature at which Ik is ripened is not so material if s ripening is stopped at the proper ge. It can be ripened at fifty-live r>inofv ili?i/rppR. At hich temoera e it must be watched very closely, ripening advances very rapidly, wever, prefer p.bont seventy to enty-five degrees in the winter 1 sixty-five to seventy-five degrees tbe summer.

Tradea-Cnlons Tromote Temperance. Employes have 6peoial interests,"apart from the desire to retain their places and earn good wages, which make for temperance, says Henry \V. Farnam, in the Atlantic. The development of labor organizations, and the increase in their power and responsibilities, has given them a strong incentive to watch the habits of their members. A great change has taken place in their practice in this respect. In the early part of the century drinking was Incorporated in the rules and regulations of some of tho societies as a regular institution; the place of meeting was commonly in a public house; the rations at grog were a privilege, the withdrawal of which might involve a strike. But the unions can no longer afford to subject their members to this temptation. The magnitude of their financial operations necessitates < the election of temperatemen to the higbei offices, while tho development of an etaborate syslem of Insurance benefits gives each member a direct interest in the so- 1 briety of his fellows. No member of a ' uuion likosto see his contributions, labori- 1 nusly saved from small earnings, squan- . dored in the support of a drinking fellow member. The importance of conciliating public opinion during strikes furnishes another : powerful motive for maintaining temper iinee in tue unions. iuu resuu is >u? already mnny by-laws and rules of our larger unions contain special clauses inculcating moderation. In some cases no steps are to be taken to reinstate a man discharged on < account ot drunkenness; in other cases a i man is excluded from the union who en- < gages in, the liquor trf ffic; in still others | men are lined who attend meetings in an intoxicated condition, while in very many cases any person who loses his work, falls sick, or meets with an accident on account of the use ot liquor is excluded from the benefits which he would otherwise enjoy. ; rnu?
