In the N orth, where there are no good deiry terms, 2the Swedish government has eterted two deiry schools for girls. at each of which air ere being educated, but these heve been eetebliehed eo recentlv that their results ere lceroely epperent. When we turn to ' the tables which accompany this erticlo, the in- fluence of this educeiiou in econ. In 1861 the export of butter from Sweden wee 20,- 574 klios., end the import 1.110.181 kilos. In 1885 the export was 11,446,189 kilo... end the imports 2,844.599. In the Ohio Valley there is objection to flax on the score of injury tothe soil. “ It is hard on the land,"is a common remark of correspondence. Such is the first greeting of the Statistician of the Department 0! Agriculture, December, 1885, to the flax In- dustry of the United Statesâ€"an industry which produced 12,000,000 bushels (at Chi- cago’s average price, $13 500.£00) of teed the last year. Its several manufacturing plants in the West are valued at $6,000,000, with an annual output of $15,000,000. The right of discovery of the true character 0 the flax plant awarded to the Ohio Valley (in other words, State) is not quite correct. All intelligent writers on agriculture from the days of Pliny and Virgilâ€"all cultivator-s of the plant from the date ([629) of the le al forced planting on Massachussets’ ster la shores to the utilizing of its appetite for mineral manures in subdulng the fresh-turn ed soil of Dakota- have conceded its soil- exhausting capabilities. There seems a lack of wisdom in political economy that forces ‘ the farmer to export the raw products of the farm, freighted as they are with the valuable maunrial constituents of the soil, or causes the Western pioneer farmer to waste his own most valuable fibre (estimated at 162,500 tons), while to bind his sheaves he buys (estimated at 20,000 tons) twine made from the interior fibers of India. By an act passed by the New York leg- islatule and approved b the governor, the dairy commissioner is irected to employ expert butter and cheese makers, not ex- ceedin five in number , whose duty it shall be, an or his directions, to examine and in- spect butter and cheese factories and the methods employed therein, and attend to such agricultural fairs, institutes, meetings conventions within the state as shall be designated by the commissioner, to impart thereat information as to the best methods oi making butter and cheese. Five thousand dollars have been appropriated for‘the pur- pose. On or before Dei'. 15 next the com- missioner must resort the number of experts employed under t e act, together with their compensation and expeneee, and must in- clude the whole in his annual report. An~ other appropriation of 82,500 has been made to the State Dairy association to be expend- ed in holding a number of dairy conference: in various parts of the state to illustrate butter and cheeee making.

This consignment is the largest ever taken from England by one vessel, and the animals include a great many of the finest sheep in the country. Nearly all of them are show animals, and in many cases the sheep have been exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Show held at Notting- ham a hw days ago, at which some of them were prize winners. The Oxenholme will convey the shoe to Montreal, from which place they will drafted to various farms In Canada and the Western States. The sheep are mostly of the Shropshire down class, and some of them are exceptionally valuable. â€"‘[Maneheeter (Eng) Examiner, July 23. Very few are aware of the fact that hay is very beneficial to hogs ; but it is true nevertheless. Hogs need rough food as well as horses, cattle, or the human race. To prepare it you should have a eutting~box (or hay cutter), and the greener the hay the better. Cut the hay short and mix with bran, shorts or middlings, and feed as other food. Hogs soon learn to like It, and if soaked in swill or other slop food, it is high- 1 ii relished by them. In winter use for hogs; t 6 same be you feed to your horses, and‘ you will fin that, while it saves bran shorts, or' other food, it puts on flesh as rapidly as anything that can be given them.

One or two Liberal papers object rather strongly to his present course. Theee points, however, are not the main points, except so for as they relate to the commission end to Mr. Pernoll’s sup- osed intention of Asking the commission to eley notion because of the Scotch suit. There was. as I long since said, n time when he might have prevented the appoint- ment of I. commiuion b bringing en notion. It is not at ell likely t It the notion will now hove any influence whatever in the proceeding before the three judges. Sir James Hennen, I hear, dislikes the teak before him, but will go through it to the end and precisely as if politics had no thing to do with the matter. Now that the time is approaching when the summer resorts of Britanny and Nor- mandy will be patronized by seekers after fresh air, it is well, the Paris correspondent of the London “ Telegraph ” remarks. to draw attention once more to an old subject. Among the English, as well as French, visi- tors to. such places ev year there are nu- merous antiquarians, co [actors of ceramics, and those whom the American humorist iacetiously called “ brie-a breakers." Now the members, or rather imitators.- of the " Black Band " are as numerous as ever in, France, and they still take a diabolical and professional delight in outrapping unwary antiquarian tourists by offering sham curios, articles cfvertn, pottery, coins, and medals for sale. These people cunningly distribute reputed antique bedsteads, chairs, bahuls, medallions, and pottery-ware in old farm houses near watering places. The dos, hotel touts, villagers, and similar to k are told to sound the raises of these things in ‘ the ear of the tourist, who is flattered and delighted at the prospect of being able to pick up a bit of genume old china, a rococo cabinet, a jar of " Old Gaul,” and perhaps a buckler oi javelin owned by one o Caesar‘s ligionariee. The diplomatic guide or tent is never gushing about the antiquities; but be generally insinuates in an off handed, distant kind of way that he knowa or has heard of some old woman living leagues 03' who had kept such things in her family for years. The amateur antiquarian goes to; the bonus mere, who shows him her collec- \ tion and narrates their history; how they were heirlooms from her mother, who had been in the chateau of a local magnate. and had hidden them at the time of the revolu- tion. and soon. Of course, the bovine-mere could not, on any account, part with the things ; but, as monsieur is so pressing she has no chooticu to letting him have some of them at a fair price. The amateur then goes on to bid for the articles, and finally epsrts with half a dosen old lates, a con- ple of jugs, or a rusty javelin, eeming him- self lucky to have found his curios himseii. Next day the hrioa bras dealer from Paris receives notice oi the succesfnl sale, and he at once rooeeda to pocket the peli, to pay the us montage to all his oouiederates, and to rep the curiosities sold to the in- nocent and unsophisticated stranger by others. Thus the trade in the sham an- tique, goes on irom year to ear. and, des- pite exposures, there are stil numerous vic- ‘ time annually. “ Mu umlly mury their opposltol.” aid Cholly, reflectively. “ Thou in hue," and ltho old mm, 3 little ourPI-lud oh Cholly‘l no.
