A century ago wien there were n
ofilolal records kept by the Registe
General, family archives were oftei
preserved in extremely inconvenlen
crevices and. crannies. As a rule, al
important matters of ecclesiastical o
semi-ecclesiastical Interest, such a
births, marriages and deaths, were en
tered on a Ily-leaf of the family Bible
and it is to this day a rule of law to ad
mit such entries.as ind1sputable evi

In-a parish register. Deeds, however
such as title deeds of land, leases
copies of entries upon the rolls of ti
manor, mortgages, releases, and noiie3
bonds, were somewhat more jealousi

house in England which, if It wer<
thoroughly ransacked, would be fount
to contain treasures of the most valua.

floor-old oaken chests, the contents ol
which the family lawyer himself, un
less he be an expert in black-letter lore
hardly pretends to understand. Col.
leges, cathedrals and other venerablh

AGRICULTURS.
MILK PRODUCING FooD.-We think
dairymen have not suflicleitly appro- TI
elated the value of the pumpkin as a
food for producing milk. Tho'preju- cI
dice against this food for milk cows has I,
arisen fron the effect of seeds when el
given in too large quantity. The seeds SC
have a diuretio eifect, operating on the of
kidneys, and( this sometimes lessons ol
the flow of milk; but if a small portion c
of the seeds are removed, this danger el
is wholly overcome. Ind6et, the cases bt
of ill eflect have probably occurred at
from feeding more than the due pro- TI
portion of seeds. We have seen pumtp- ti
kins fed quite freely with excellent re- .to
suits in quantity and quality of milk ; bi
but it is not fit or econvinelal to feed too a
largely of any one food. Potatoes fed i
li moderation are excellent for inlk; .
but given in too great quantity, they a
will reduce the yield. Turnips or beets m
uist not be given too liberally, corn- 0t
f odder, given as a sole 'ration, is un- to
profitable; but fed with half pasture, fo
they k eep up the yield of milk and add Lh
greatly to the profit of the season. So e
pumpkins are excellent, to keel) l) the e
full flow of milk. Having fully the s
value of turnips, per weight, they are ro
more cheaply raised, and should be ad- o
ded to the yearly supply of food by m
every dairyuman. Wheagrownalone,It ca
is I'oUid that as many tots per acre may dr
be produced as of turnips; but the cus
tom mostly is, to grow tie ptumpkin
with a corn crop. From one to three
tons.may be gkown with a good yieldo
of corn, requiring little more thai, plae- 1
Ing the seeds at distances of 20 feet, li
apart, in alternate rows of corn. The th
cultivation of corn is sufficient atten- tr
tion to the pumpkin crop; and this crop so
will often equal, in fobd value, ten
bushels of corn per acre.
FARM AND EDUCATION.-The farmer inl
should understami chemistry, geology, b3
botany, zoology, mechanics,.in order to th
conduct his calling intelligently. This atE
is beginnitig to be understood by polit- U0
leal economitst abroad. Even Irel!td inl
has over two hundred farm schools. In W,
this country where almost universal aF
culture exists, the farmer is a constant w
student, and by the help of hisagricul- w
tural paper, keeps thoroughly posted in tr
all the new discoverles, and the record
ed experiences relating to his special
calling. The first agricultural school of
was founded by Fellenberg in Switzer- 01
land, in 1800. Thousands of pupils il
were graduated there; giving to t,at, br
country a great and lasting impotus in jl
the progress of civilization, i'ntellige nec il
and wealth. One of the first duties tn- th
dertaken by the French, tiunder Mac- at
Aahon, in 1873. was to organize a sys- bL
tei of agricultural education. In Pris- or
slia there is not a province but canl boast- sp
its agricultural school and '1odel farin. k
Such sWIeepIlg statements as these (o cl
injury. It is not true that, a "farmer ia
should understand chemistry, geology, ve.
botany, zoology and mechailes, in order St
to conduct his calling in tell igeint ly,,'' i
and the proof is in the fact that there bi
are thousands of very Intelligent per- se
sons who knowi nothing of any of these bi
things-men who have money at their
calling, and who have made it. inteIll
gently inl this )Irsiit Of f.ourse all
these accomplishments are useful, but. S1
they are Just as useful to the great ma- at
jority of miankind in other pursuits as LI
in farming. a

horses, it will only be necessary to re
new shoes when the root has outgrown te
the 0o(d ones, or when they become st
loose or worn out. Horses that are em--t
ployed on roads and hard ground, wviii

HUMOROUS.
A FORMER president of a New Eng
land college after getting a seat in a
horse-car noticed one of the Freshmen
of his college curled up in front of him
and exhibiting obvious signs of vinous
exhilaration. A close Inspection re
vealed the fact that the state of inebriety
was not hastily put on (like a hat), but
had been worn closely (like an under
.shirt) for several days. For a few
moments the. president sueveyed the
undergraduate with an expression of
mingled commiseration and disgust,
and finally he exclaimed, "Been on a
drunk I" The half-conscious student
rallied his straying senses, and with a
gleam of good-fellowship In his eye,
somewhat unrespectedly ejaculated,
"So-h1c--have I l"
Somm time ago a well-known Wall
Street, N. Y. character, of convivial
habits, slowly made his way down Ex
change-place on a pitr of crutches. As
lie did so his eyes were filled with a
inaliclous exulting light, an expreesion
which we sometimes see upon the faces
of those who have realized the fulill
ment of some disagreeable anticipation
disbelieved in by everybody else.
"Yes"' said he; "swollen kneel Now
don't say it came from drinking. Only

LITTLE NELLIE was looking at some
pictures of wild animals when Mr.
Jorkins called, and Pho appeal.d to that
gentlemai to explahi oac of the pic
tures. "That is a*wild boar," said he;
and the little lady looked at it thought
fully and replied: "It doesn't look
like you, does it, Mr. Jorkins?" "I
hope not," responded the guest. ' Why?'
"Because," said the artless Infant,
" a mma s-id, when your card was
sent uI. 'Thei e is that old bore Jorkins

A YOUNG lady was sitting with a gal
lant caitai n in a chariulngly-decorated
recess. On her knee was a diminutive
niece. In the adjoining room, with the
door open, were the rest. of the coml
pany. Said the little niece, in a jeal
ous and very audible voice, "Auntie,
kiss ie too. Evidently something had
just happened. "You sliould say twice,
Ethel dear; two is not gramniar," was
the immediate rejoinder.
"PAPA," said lie, as lie wag ehown

11. S.-"Yaas. Lovely, indeed. And

MOTHER, at teatable-"Jack, who
helped you to those three tarts?" Jack,
age seven-"The Lord." Mother
"The Lord ? Why, what do you mean
Jack?" Jack--"Well, I helped myself;
but father said not long ago that the
Lord helps those who help themselves."
VisiToR: Well, dear, you see I have

A MAN, passing through a gateway

The Orange and Lemon Crops.
The failure this year of the orange and
lemon harvest in the Greek Archipelago is
not a suddin calamity. For many years
past there has been in the islands lying be
tween Greece and Asia a progressive reduc
tion in the rainfall and the fruit garnered.
The Island of Rhode, which was at one
time urged upon the British cabinet as
iore valuable than Cyprus, has been the
principal sufferer, butt its demands as we1l
as those of the Western markets will be
met withottt diflicully by the increased pro
duction of the mainland. In fact the fertil
ity of Asia Minor and Syria seems only
now to be becofning known. And it is
rather a curious reflection on the political
enthusiasm of certain statesmen to find
that it is not the Greek and other Christian
inhabitants of the East, but the careless
and supine Turks, who have managed to
preserve their orchards and gardens by the
application of the necessary labor, and the
use of a certain amount of foresight
and common sense. From tie remotest
times, the oraniges and lemons of the island
of Rhodes, forinstance, have ben planted
in precisely the saie spots, and s a i nati
ral consequence the trees and the land are
alike exhausted, and nature has developed
that forn of parasite which imost thrives
upOn its undisturbed food. - It is new blood,
in the shape of new soil and new trees,
which, in the Archipelago, as in the
French vineyards, as repuired to restore
the vitality to the now cevasted crops.
Seifhelp anild comlilon sense. not scientific
compounds, are the mo-t certain army
with which to vanquish the phylloxora,
the potato disease, and the orange tree
blight.
