Dairy Affairs.
Mr. D. N. Farrand, of Morristown,
writes that intending to adopt the deep
pans or pails for his whole dairy, he
engaged a supply, which reached him
when in so great a hurrv in haying that
only one-half of the pails were set, concAnnanflw

bad to be put in the old-fashioned pans.
His wife suggested that the cream be
kept separate to see which produced
the most butter. The cream from the
pans made the most butter the first
three days, when the following three
experiments were made: Weighed the
milk, set one day in pails, the next day
in pans, and so on for six days; then
churned, and weighed the butter. In
the second trial there was one more
morning's than night's milking; in the
third, one more night's than morning's
milk. The depth of the milk in the
pails in the first two trials was from
seven to ten inches; in the third from
ten to twelve; and in the pans from two
to two and one-half. The temperature
of the air was generally from 56 degrees
to 70 degrees; that of the water from 60
degrees to 66 degrees; when the air
was above 60 degrees we oooled the milk
set in pans before setting in the milkroom.
We skimmed the milk as soon
us it began to change, which was in
about forty-eight hours with the pails,
and thirty-six with the pans.
To make a pound of butter it took in
first trial: with pails, 27 pounds of milk;
with pans, 25 pounds. In the second
trial: with pails, 25 pounds 13 ounces;
with pans, 21 pounds 10 ounces. In the
third trial: with pails, 27 pounds 13
ounces; with pans, 25 pounds 2 ounoes.
These trials were made in August, commencing
the 10th.
Rlng-Bone.
"G. H. D." asks: "Is there a cure

V* IVVUV^?J *v* M AUIK VVUV VM Ml JVUUQ
horse, that is bnt little lame frem it
now, without cutting or disfiguring the
foot?"
Reply.?Ringbone does not always
oause lameness. It is generally constitutional,
and is an effort of nature to
strengthen a weak postern joint by Betting
up an additional bony growth, or
by converting the elastic "cartilages of
the foot into a rigid inelastic mass, better
ablo to resist the hard work with
which the joint is otherwise incapable
of sustaining. In this case, where the
subject is a young horse, much may
probably be done. First, all heat and
inflammation of the parts should be removed
by applications of cold water
with cold wet cloths wrapped around
the joints for a few days, removing
them at night. Then a salve of half an
ounce of lard with half a drachm of
biniodide of mercury should be rubbed
upon the ring-bone for ten minutes.
The horse's head should be tied up for
60vera i nours, mat ne may not bite tne
part, (the salve is poisonous.) The
next day the part should be washed with
warm water and soap, and each day for
a week clean lard should be applied.
Afterward the treatment should be repeated
once more.
Fultz Wheat.
The Department of Agriculture for
August and September gives us some
experiments in wheat growing, both in
Pennsylvania and in Yates Co., N. Y.,
wherein of twelve varieties planted the
Fultz wheat yielded the most straw and
much the Jaigest yield of wheat. The
manager of the Eastern Pennsylvania
Agricultural College Farm says :
"From the experiments of the two
past seasons I advise farmers to try
the Fultz wheat, just enough at leust to
show its suitability to their soil and
climate. With us it hasproved a hardy,
btifl'-strawed, early, and productive
wheat?grain small, but plump. The
Rogers is also good, not so productive

of wheat, and would probably yield

The Fultz is a bald or smooth wheat.
In Yates county it yielded in an experimental
plot thirty-fold on the seed
sown, while the Tread well, 60wu the
same day, yielded but ten-fold on the
soed and was two weeks later in
ripening.
Squire Richards.
A man seventy-six years oli3> familiarly
known in Memphis as " Squire
Richards," one of the most efficient of
the workers who waited upon the victims
of yellow fever, kas fallen a victim
to it himself. The Memphis Appeal
says: From the first of the fever he
went about doing good, and till the
past few days might have been met with
moving through the infected district
as vigorously as his condition
would admit, visiting first one
aud then another of his friends,
and carrying consolation to their families
nnd comforts to their sick. His
was a noble, a pure, a good example.
Old, and so crippled as to be compelled
to use crutches, he yet managed to go
about among those stricken with the
fever, and nurse and console them.
Always an example as a good, faithful
neighlior aud citizen, ho would not,
though he might have found good excuse
in his extreme old age and gathering
infirmities, leave the people he had
served 60 well in the dire extremity of a
terrible epidemic.
A Legal Question.
We clip the following from the Pitts|
burg Law Adviser, as it will be of in|
terest to all, in a legal point of view:?
Several weeks prior to the suspension
of Jay Cooke A Co., a party deposited
with them a certain amount of money,
for which a certificate of deposit was
given "payable on return of this certificate
with 6 per cent, interest." The
! depositor presented it at a oountry
National Bank, received the amount in
currency and indorsed the certificate.
The bank held the certificate as an interest
fund without presentation until
subsequent to the suspension of the
firm alluded to. Was the bank, in
order to hold the indorser responsible,
chlitredto nresent the certificate at once.
or was it optional with the bank ?
The question whether the bank should
have, at once, presented the certificate
of deposit in order to hold the indorser,
is a secondary one. The main question
is whether the indorser is at all liable;
that is, whether his signature amounted
to .an indorsement with all its consequences,
or whether it was merely an
assignment of his right to the money
deposited. This is answered by finding
whether a certificate of deposit is negotiable
or not. This has Deen decided
in tho negative in Pennsylvania, in
Patterson vs. Poindexter 6 W. 4 8. 227
(and approved in Charnley vs. Dulles,
8 W. & S. 353). In that case a certificate
of deposit was issued by the Mississippi
Union Bank of Jackson, Miss.,
and read as follows :
"I hereby certify that C. S. Tarply
has deposited in this bank, payable
twelve months from 1st of May, 1839,
with five per cent interest till due, per
annum, three thousand siz hundred and
ninety-one dollars and sixty three cents,
for use of It Patterson & Co., and payable
only to their order upon the return
of this certificate." Signed,
C. W. Clifton, Ass. Cashier,
The indorsement was: Pay Edward
York, Esq., or order It B. Patterson &
Co., without recourse to me.
E. Yobke.
Chief-Justice Gibson deoided that
the instrument was net a promissory
note, that " for purposes of transfer
merely it was payable to order; for
purposes of commercial responsibility,
it was not negotiable." But " that it
was a special agreement to pay the deposit
to anv one who should present
the certificate and the depositor's order."
The contents of the certificate in this
case not being given full, we have
Sioted literally tne one upon which
e above decision is based, but believe
that, from the few words given in the
questions, " payable on return of this
certificate with 6 per cent, interest,"
there is not much, n any, ainerence
between them ; and in that case the
indorser is not liable, but the bank has
to suffer the loss, if any.
As the question may possibly now
arise also In other localities, we may
state that the above is not the general
law of this country. In Mississippi,
Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, New
York, California and Iowa, it has been
decided that a certificate of deposit is
in effect a promissory note, and accordingly,
an indorser of such instrument
in these States would be liable. This
question, as far as we know, has not
been deoided in Virginia or W. Virginia,
but we think that, should such case
come before their courts, they will follow
the Pennsylvania decision, as it
stands more to reason, to construe a
certificate of deposit &s a special contract,
than to class it :is a promissory
note, it wanting the essential feature
of a promissory note?a direct and unqualified
promise to pay.
Fretful Babies.
Babies often cry, says an exchange,
without any apparent reason; but a
mother can usually discover a reason
if she stops to think about it;
and it is worth while stopping
to think about, no matter if
the house-work or sewing be delayed
in consequence. Perhaps she hae
eaten something which disagrees with
its stomach ; perhaps it is thirsty, foi
little babies are often thirsty, and will
drink a teaspoonfnl of cold water with
the greatest "eagerness, and be quiel
and satisfied after it. Perhaps its lit'
tie sock is tied up too tightly, as my
baby's was the other day. I found e
deep red mark around her little ankle,
which at once explained her fretfulness.
More likelv than anything else, th<
flannel band around its bowels?if happily
one is there?or its skirt band
is pinned too tightly. I know a baby
who has cried a great deal sine?
its birth. I think the chief cause
of it is because he has alwayt
been dressed too tightly. The
mother said to me one ofternoon, wher
the ohild was so cross she hardly knew
what to do, " I've a great mind to undress
him and put on his night-gown
lie is always real good then." So she
did, and he commenced to be good a<
once. Mothers should search for all
possible causes when their babies gel
fretful. They should not be too ready
to attribute their crying to nervous
temperament or to hunger, for it is
more likely to bo caused by the pricl
of a pin or an over-fed stomach thai
either.
Sepulchral Sympathy.
A Canadian paper notes that a curioui
circumstance is related of the lad Kings
ton, who lost an arm recently by i
thrashing machine in Adelaide. It ap
pears that subsequently to the amputa
tion, and the limb having been buried
he complained that his hund was cramp
ed, causing him extreme pain, and de
sired the arm to be disinterred. No at
1 tention, however, was paid to the re
quest for some time, but the boy stil
1 persisted, asserting that if the arm wai
not raised he would not recover. Thi
li^ib was accordingly disinterred, an<
the ?and found to be firmly shut to
gether. During the operation of open
ing the hand the patient evinced grea
agony, and altervrartlV' declared that h<
felt relieved of the son **tion of cram]
from which he appeared to suffer s<
' acutely. The circumstance if true, sayi
the Strathroy Dispatch, is certainly i
curious one; not more so, howe yer, thai
many others in the reoords of n?e<bca
experience.
Dueling in Pennsylvania?Thi
Law.?The article on dueling in the
Pennsylvania Constitutional Conven
' tion was passed in this form : "Anj
person who shall fight a duel or senc
a challenge for that purpose, or be aid
j er or abettor in fighting a duel, shall b<
deprived of the right of holding anj
office of honor or profit in this State, anc
j may be otherwise punished as shall b<
I prescribed by law.
Guy Fawkes.
At midnight, on the 5th of Novem
ber, in the year of grace one thousand
six hundred and five, Guido Fawkes
"gentleman," was discovered, " bootee
and spurred," in the vicinity of St
Stephen's Chapel, having on his persoi
"three matches, a tinder box, and i
dark lantern;" and purposing, bj
means of gunpowder, to blow up, savi
King James, " the whole nobility, th<
most part of the knights and gentry,'
besides " the whole judges of the land
with most of the lawyers, and the whol<
clerks." For this one discretion, Guide
Fawkes has forfeited his gentility, anc
become a proverb of wickedness. L
boyhood, we looked upon Guide
Fawkes, gentleman, as one a little
lower than the devil: he had fom
horns and a dozen tails. " Years the
bring tne philosophic mind " have di
vested him of these excrescences ane
appendages, and Guido Fawkes no*
appears to matured charities merely i
person of a singularly eccentric dispo
sition.
Some five-and-twenty years ago i
was the patriotic custom of the author
ities of an Isle of Shepley dockyard t<
bestow upon their apprentices a fev
wagon loads of resinous timber, that t
bonfire worthy of the cause it celebratec
might be kindled from the public pursi
?that the effigy of the arch-fiend Guy
might be oonsumed in a fire three timei
hotter than the fire of a furnace. Sucl
fierce liberality was not lost upon thi
town's people ; their ardor in the burn
ing business smouldered not; ever
man subscribed his plank or log ; and
from the commission in his uniform U
Bobby in his pinafore, the 5th of No
vember glowed, in the calendar of thei:
minds, a pillar of fire. For a montl
before the day, the coming anniversary
busied the thoughts of boyish ezecu
cutioners, resolved to show their patri
otism in the appointment of their Guy
?in the grotesque iniquity of his face
in the cumbrous state of his large arm
chair. To beg clothes from door t<
door was then the business of ever
lover of Church and State. To ask fo:
a coat, a pair of breeches, a Bhirt (th<
frill could be made of paper), hose, anc
hat, was not mendicity, but the fulfill
ment of a high social duty.
Guy Fawkes would at length b<
dressed. A philosopher might havi
found good matter in his eleemosynary
suit. In the coat of the bloodthirsty
arratsdi Via mirr}it liavfl rfnnmiizfid fchi
habit of Scum, the slopseller, a quie
trader afloat of ?10,000 ; in the vest o
the villainous ruffian, the di scar dec
waistcoat of Smallgrog, the hones
landlord of a little home for sailors
in the stockings of the atrocious mis
creant, the home of the equitable wee
vil, biscuit contractor to his Majesty'i
fleet; while for the bother of the fiend
like effigy, Guv Fawkes was to be ex
hibited, and afterwards burned, in thi
broad-toed shoes of that best of men
Trap, the town attorney.
The chair, too, in which Guy Fawkei
sat, might it not have some day en
shrined a Justice of the Peace ? an<
the lantern, fixed in the hand of the
diabolical, lynx-eyed monster, might i
not have been the property of the mos
amiable and most somnolent of th<
Blue Town watchmen ? And then th<
mask fixed upon the effigy, or the lum]
of clay kneaded into human features
and horribly or delicately expressed
according to the benevolent art of th
makers, might not the Bame visor hav
been worn by a perfect gentleman, wit]
considerable advantage, at a masquer
ade?might not the clay nose anc
mouth of the loathsome traitor hav
borne an accidental likeness to the ver
pink of patriots ? Let philosophy pon
der well on Guy Fawkes.? From Jer
rold's "fireside Saints and Othc
Papers," in press by Lee <1* Shepard.
End of the Stokes Trial.
The Stokes trial has come to an end
says the New York Tribune, with a vei
diet of manslaughter in the third de
gree, and a sentence of four years a
hard labor in the prison at Sing Sing
, This is the lame and impotent conch
, sion of two years of incessant activity
during which time the jury system c
. the country was fully as much on trie
i as was the slayer of Fisk. Trivial an
inadequate as the verdict and sentenc
will appear to many people, it will nc
' be on the whole unsatisfactory, becaus
it was more than was generally expected
| When the counsel of Stokes succeede
' in securing a new trial, most peop]
gave up all hope of a verdict. It wr
almost universally predicted that th
jury would fail to agree. It was thougl
impossible that twelve men cculd b
found in New York so absolutely fre
from prepossessions on the one side an
the otner, that they could harmonis
upon a verdict wnicli should acquit c
punish the homicide. The public e:
pected a long and tedious trial, to en
at last in a disagreement of the jur
and to be followed by a declaration <
the District-Attorney of an intention t
prosecute the case no further, on tb
ground of the improbability of attaii
ing any result.
But this last trial has been full <
surprises. It took several days, it :
true, to fill the jury-box, but it wt
filled finally by a dozen men of fair ii
; telligence and character. The procei
then went forward swiftly and easily.
There was little time wasted on ca]
tious pleas or wrangliugs. The ne
trial was, however, justified by new an
startling evidence. We know how del

This is the last trial of any impc

Disease and Diet.
There can be no doubt, says Dio
I Lewis, that, within certain climatic tl
, conditions, a virgin soil, when first tc
I turned up to the sun, emits an invisible, ir
, subtle poison, known as malaria. This si
1 poison produces in man various forms tl
1 of painful and dangerous diseases. C(
r These maladies are very difficult to a!
3 ai
i manage, often undermining the consti- 0]
' tution, and leaving behind effects which ci
i remain through life. The malarial
| poison is, on the whole, with perhaps a
1 single exception, the most insinuating, ^
j obstinate and destructive of all the w
j poisons known to man.
5 While it is probably impossible to 2
. escape malarial diseases in certain lo- 0
t calities, there ean be no donbt that a a.
. considerable part of what is supposed
I to be the result of malaria is due to 3
, "hog and hominy." In my visits to
t the West I have been astonished at the p
quantities of pork and corn oonsumed
by the people. An Illinois farmer eats B]
t twice as much as a New England farm- <?
er, and liis food is twice as rich, while n
j he performs less than half the labor.
T The influence upon his digestive ap- ?
3 paratus may be easily imagined. It re- a
j quires but little malaria to Are such a j,
9 train.
* I have known more than one family 0
3 to remove from New England to ma- g
j larious districts in the West, and break a
3 npa new farm, without suffering from u
malarious diseases. They carefully
~7 observed the laws of health, used beef
instead of pork, wheat instead of corn, h
j and stayed in-doors from sundown till
an hour or so after sunrise.
r Many of the diseases of the farmers, P1
j and much of the yellow skin, may be
traced to the same causes as produce /
_ the diseased and discolored complexion w
] of the South?a bad diet, bad drinks.
' neglect of bathing and other kindred
violations of the laws of health. ?

> A Chinese Burial.
' A Ohina woman died at Sacramento,
^ Cal., and her husband being well pro- ?
j vided with money, gave her what he ?,
- considered a flrst-class . funeral. The j
Sacramento Union describes the cere- v
I monies : "About 5 o'clock in the after- i
noon the body, inclosed in a coffin, was c
j placed on the sidewalk in front oi hor late n
3 residence, and by its side were ranged B
t tables loaded with r<*st chicken, roast *
f pig, boiled rice, candy, nuts, brandy, 0
1 whisky, Ac., sufficient in quantity to
t keep the spirit of the deceased from
; being hungry for a month. These ar*
tides remained on the sidewalk until n
- late the next forenoon, surrounded by ?
s paid mourners, who seemed to be car- ?
- rying on a lively oompetition in the ti
- matter of giving full value for the u
e money received. At the cemetery,, after M
i the coffin had been lowered, hired J
mourners and the two children of the <
b deceased walked round the grave once, JJ
- while the husband remained standing *
1 silently by. Then vessels containing \\
b food were put in the grave at the head
t and foot of the coffin, followed by a E
t small quantity of earth. Next to be Jj
b put in were" live chickens and ducks, p
b and these were promptly covered with J
? earth. The grave having been filled up,
i brandy and whisky were sprinkled
, upon it in a liberal manner, while a

The Advantages of Advertising?An 8
Example to the Point. t<
I After the crash of '57, says a Milwau- fl
' kee paper, when everybody was almost
scared to death, and the croakers pre- s
dieted that the country had gone to
^ smash, a dry goods house was opened
!- in that city, which proceeded on the
r, principle that in order to reach the
hoarded money in the pockets of the o
j people the proprietors must sell at very -
u e
reasonable prices, and advertise very
>t largely. They worked vigorously on o
e this principle. Their brother merch- J
1. ants who did not advertise predicted J
d that the new-comers would be ruined, "
ie as they paid too much for advertising. 1
is Nevertheless they persisted. In a sin- a
ie gle year they paid five hundred dollars it
in gold to the Daily Wisconsin for ad- 1
e vertising, and at the end of seven years
!6 they retired from business with a ford
tune of one hundred thousand dollars, 1
;e while the merchants on the same street, jj
>r some of them opposite their store, had a
i- failed. f
d The lesson of '57 should not be for- i
7, gotten in '73. There is money in the <
>f pockets of the people. It is being 1
:o hoarded. The merchants must draw it \
ie out. That can be done only by low J
l- prices and extended advertising in es- !
tablished journals. Commercial travel- |
>f ers bring plenty of credit business to
is the merchants, but comparatively little j
is cash. It is clear as the noonday sun
i- that the more credits the merchant has
38 on his books the worse he will be off. 1
He wants the solid cash, and that can

The Value of Gold and SUrer.
Many people have a desire to know
le value of gold and silver in bulk, and
> this end we have secured the followlg
from Professor J. F. L. Schirmer,
iperintendent of the branch mint in
lis city, and it may be relied upon as
jrrect. The fineness of Colorado gold
ad the calculation of values on gold
ad silver are also given. It is a matter
I considerable value, and should be
at out and preserved.
One ton ('2,000 pounds avoirdupois)
f gold or silver contains 29,163 troy
unces, and, ^therefore the value of a
>n of pure gold is $602,799.21, and of a
>n of silver is $37,704.84.
A cubic foot of pure gold weighs 1,18.75
pounds avoirdupois; a cubic foot
f pure silver weighs 656.25 pounds
roirdupois.

Pulmonary Constimption: I have wltneaaed
;a effecta on the young and the old, and I can truly
ay that It la by far the beat expectorant remedy
1th which I am acquainted. For Cougba, and all

? be a certain cure, and If every family would keep

ae phlegm and matter to ralae without Irritating

trength to the system, stops the night-sweats,
nd changes all tbe morbid secretions to a healthy
