The Louisville Courier greases the
reputation of a landlady in that city with
the foliowing butter story :
'There' is a private boarding house in
the city which is a kind of rendezvoue
lor medical students at least it is gener
ally considered so as much from the
fact, perhaps, that it affords the necessa
ries of an ordinary boarding house to
some thirty of these young fellows as that
it is devoted exclusively to the accommo
dation oi this class of persona. Not long
since the landlady made a purchase of
some butter, i- Among the lot was a lump
which was rather aged. It was put on
one of the tables for dinner the same day,
and no one there took butter. The next
day it was put upon another table, and
likewise remained intact. ' So it passed
around to ail tne tables, ana at the end ot
a week, when it had swung completely
around the circle unmolested, the land
lady was puzzled to know what to do with
it. It cost trfo much to be thrown away,
and she had kept it too long to return it
now to the grocery man. She could'nt
afford to lose it, and she didn't mean to ;
so she took it and padlcd it over into
another shape, making it more rotund,
and in no respect similar to its former
appearance. It appeared in its brand
new dress at dinner that day, but met
with, the lame cold reception. Around
it went again, day by day, from one table
to another, till it arrived at that of a real
specimen of a student a wild, rollicking,
don't care, jolly fellow, always ready and
eager for some mischief, lie watched
his opportunity, and. when the landlady
happened to step out of the dinning room
for a moment, he took the big ball of
butter, which was then just soit enough
to hold itself ' together, and with one
swing it went Bpat against the ceiling,
and stuck there in a kind of hemisphere.
The landlady entered just a moment lat
ter, and her attention was immediately
. attracted to the unusual situation of the
butter by the giggling and tittering of
the boarders. " Who did that V she
screamed in a terrible rage. There was
no answer, when the fellow who had done
the mischief, looking slyly up at the
greasy substance, which was just hanging
. over his head, says, " Speak, butter ;
yci'er old enough to talk for youself."
George Feancis Train Compli
mented. The New York Tribune thus
compliments Train : " We grieve to
say that an old and eloquent friend of
ours, who has ofteen been particularly
mentioned in these columns the Amer
icon Demosthenese, otherwise known as
Mr. George Francis Train is most re
spectfully spoken of by several of the
"Western journals, and that he never was
pasquinade! before with such versatility
of rhetoric and ingenuity of abuse, ex
cept, may be, in some Woman's Conven
tion. He is called : 1. 'An addled
pated windle-bag.' 2. lie is thus ad
dressed : ' Good-bye, old windy ; good
bye, old gas-pipe ; go home and soak
your head in whisky, so as to give some
. strength to your apology for brains '
all of which, to say the least, is not very
complimentary to Mr. Train, phrenologic
ally. "We must, with all our force, pro
test against this light method of men
tioning a man who, in our opinion, can
in One hour talk more and say less than
any other being that has ever existed or
is likely to exist. Honor to whom honor
is due.
- Prof. J; E. Schmidt recently presented
Lis new maps of the moon to a meeting
of astronomical savans in "Vienna, Aus
tria. They are the result of thirty years
study and observation at Hamburg, Bonn,
Olmutz and Athens. This atlas is to
consist of twenty-five plates ; which are
six Paris feet in diameter, twice the size
of Lohrmann's and Madler' lunar maps.
Nor is their size the only point in which
they excel the earlier works. While only
5,000 craters are maked on the latter ;
from 20,000 to 30,000 are to be found on
the Athenian map, and a proportionate
number of mountains, hills,, etc., have
been " exactly determined. Since the
disappearance of the- crater, Linnaeus,
which was confiirmed in 18G6, has proved
1 that changes . take place on the moon's
. surface of dimensions great enough to be
observed on our earth, the want of a
large map has been keeniy felt, and this
want Mr. Schmidt has now supplied.
Scientific men attribute the late severe
Summer and Autumn weather, the
storms, floods and earthquakes that have
prevailed in various places, to the influ
ence of the sun, which they assert is in
a highly agitated state. It is also as
serted by them that the body of magnet
ic light now shooting lrom the sun in
every direction will, by the beginning of
' next year, have extended far enough to
exercise material influence upon the
earth, and then it is said we may expect
. that phenomena will be observable such
as have not yet come under the notice ot
"the human race. .
Charcoal "should be fed to fattening
toga twice a week; tbey eat it with
great avidity, and it supplies carbon in
its purest state. A pan of it might be
kept in the pen, and a trial made of its

useful condiment which hogs eat greedi
ly. Whether it is ( essential to their

that they relish it much more than we

Good Farming How Not to Do It.
More pleasing than the dew-drops that
sparkle on the roses are tears that pity
gathers upon the cheek of beauty.
BY W. A. CROFFCT.
If you are a young man, bend all your
energies to acquiring the fastest horse in
the neighborhood, and show your activity
by cutting a swell behind him around
the country. Wait patiently until '-the
old man" dies and bequeaths to you his
farm, then hire Dan Tucker to take care
of it, instructing him to use Jus own
judgment and not bother you. Kncour-
age the raising ot live-stock by attending
horse-races, and patronize breeders by
staking your money on the result. Con
nect yourself with the agricultural press
by subscribing for some journal that
gives rural advice from the standpoint of
"the Turf and King."
Show your interest in the growth of
rye, barley, and hops by partaking of the
beverages therefrom concocted. Give
your interest in the same way to tobacco
culture. Don't get married ; you can
hardly afford that sort of husbandry. In
about four years, if you are as frugal as
you will be likely to be, Dan Tucker, or
a more enterprising neighbor, will fore
close sundry mortgages, take your worth
less property off your hands, and leave
you to go to sea and complain of your
"bad luck," denounce farming as an oc
cupation, and wonder what has become of
your money :
It you are an old hand at it, without
expensive vices, and still manage to keep
a farm going on slip-shod principles, the
following rules, closely followed, will en
able you to do your work uniformly in
! the worst post-iblo manner :
I Concerning Land. Buy all you can
on credit, and mortgage everything to
insure its payment. To farm it by the
thousand acres is Nepoleonic it shows
genius, you know, and sounds well.
Purchase poor land at a low price,
rather than the best at a high price ; you
will thus get, at least, half as much har
vest for your subsequent labor, and you
will have all the improvement for noth
ing if there should happen to be anjr.
Never drain : if you do, the farm-work
will be hastened, crops increased, and
manure saved besides which, you will
lose the stagnant water and the "buried
crockery."
Plough shallow ; keep doing as your
grandfather did, and stick to it that
"yaller earth is pizen."
Concerning Jlunure. Build your hog
pen, and, if possible, your barn-yard,
across a running stream ; this will carry
the filth off your farm, and you will not
be troubled with it. Some of our best
farms are always stuck up with manure ! j
If there is, unfortunately, no stream
handy, move your barn, when the ma
nure has become packed five or six feet j
in your yard, to another side-hill, and
start aeram : the original deposit will
wash away in time. By this philosophi
cal method of flanking do thousands of
farmers throughout the West git rid of a
nuisance, and promote that cleanliness
which is said to be next to godliness.
Don t be persuaded to sow clover and
then waste it by plowing it under ; be
assured that these "book-farmers" who
advocato such doings have clover-seed to
sell!
If, after the above treatment, your
soil yields any crops, never feed or plow
under the straw or corn-stalks, but al
waysfcurn them ; you will thus "get them
out of the way," and will gradually di
minish the growth of straw and stalks,
till ultimately there will hardly be any
to burn.
Concerning Crops. Plant and sow
very late ; by so doing you will diminish
the crop equal to the whole net profit
that is, you will get nothing for your la
bor. Allow your corn-fields to be filled with
a dense undergrowth of weeds, and your
potatoes, turnips and unions with a dense
overgrowth of ditto ; it will not cost
half so much to harvest your crop, and
money paid out in the fall is an import
ant item.
Don't be fooled with the cry of "rota
tion." Dirt is dirt, isn't it ? and if a
field will grow potatoes, of course it will
grow wheat. Keep your corn in the
"corn-lot" all you life, as your father and
mine did ; if you were to jump around
from field to field, as the book-farmers
advise, your corn crop would very likely
outgrow the granery, and then what a
fix you'd be in !
Concerning Stock.Se how little food
will keep a cow alive. All you save is
clear gain, and it is astonishing how this
sort of economy counts up !
Feed as irregularly as possible. Wait
ing an hour or two for breakfast will
whet tho cow's appetites; and it will
save them anxiety if" they don't know
exactly when to expect it.
I wouldn't waste many oats on horses ;
how do horses get along in those coun
tries where oats won't grow ? Besides,
oats make horses frisky ; get them used
to going without, and they will be soberer
and more manageable, and just as well
satisfied to gnaw the wood-pile or the
fence. A "friend of ouns, a carpenter,
who fed his horse frugally, took it into
his head that the animal ate the shavings
wherewith he was bedded, which were
supposed to serve as a divisor and dis
tender. So he saved all other food and
taught the sagacious animal to rely
wholly on pine-shavings. The horse
lived some weeks and finally died, as the
owner believed, of over-eating.
- Never throw corn to pigs; men can
eat corn, and there has been enough
wasted on hog-troughs to keep thousands
of human beings from starvation. Above
all, never feed pigs until they stop squeal
ing. . To ' squeal is bad manners, and
well-bred swine ought to be broken of it.'
Let neat cattle, so-called, lie in their
own droppings as much as possible, for it
will . keep them warm. Never curry
them it makes them tender.,
Teach your cattle to jump; it will not
cest you half so much to keep them, and
if it costs your neighbors more, that is
their lookout. A careful observer says :
"Cattle may be taught to go over any
fence by careful training as follows :
First give them very little and very poor
feed, which will make them light and en
terprising. As soon as they go over the
lowest part of the fence after provender,
put on another .rail and make them jump
back again, saying ; .'Plague take yon, I
fuess that '11 keep you out!' Next
ay drive them out again, repeating the
objurgation and adding another rail. In
a short time they will be able to take
care of themselves."
Cattle will live with very little care.
Stables and sheds are a needless luxury.
You will be surprised to see how much
exposure to snow storms cattle can stand
when they are once hardened. When
winter sets in, turn all your etock to the
hay-stacks, pull down the fences (unless
you have disciplined them according to the
last paragraph), and make them earn
their own living. In the spring you will
have land-pike pigs, hump-backed cows,
and horses of gothic architecture, with
appetites as sharp as their hips. Don't
fail to teach your stock self-reliance. In
this way the cattle will go further before
you kill them, and their meat will go fur
ther after you kill them pound for
pound.
Have nothing to do with agricultural
books or newspapers. Remember the
honored adage : "The betterthe scholar,
the worse the farmer."
By a careful observance of the above
rules, you may dispense with keeping an
account of annual profits and losses.

THE simplicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe
riority of the "Gay" Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate :
We, the nndersizned. citisens of Linn countv.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood-work being con
structed of wrought iron no castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad
vantage over Other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nec
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not throwing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better' work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand. !
We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat"
Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior in Oregon.

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commis
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa
nies, says , " The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security.
and not for dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity, and render all that they promise,
and furnish the best security, with tne most up
right and judicious management."
" By the Stock plan the full cash effect of the
premium is immediately secured to the insured,
the Company taking all the risk. By the Mu
tual plan, the full value in insurance of the pre
mium paid, is not secured to the policy-holder,
who takes a portion of the risk himself."
