Mis* Coyney was a maiden tody of in tense gentility, who possessed a small annuity—bestowed on her by the head of th® Ilans* of Coyuey, which was supposed to be a family of distinction-—and who inhab ited one of the prettiest aotlagre in Little Yafford.a rustic bower with white plastered walls, a porch of green treftta-work, cur- tairiad with clematis and woodbine, and a bandboxieal neatness within and without. The cottage was so small that a sfngl* fri*ud dropping in to tea fl'M it to overflowing, insotnach that th* small servant could hardly turn the corner of the parlor do«r with th* tea-tary. This sinallaMS Miss CoyOfy found economical. She visited a greet seal in Liul* Yafford. and was not caiicd upon to «3«rcisd any hospitality m retnm. ■ With my poor lltlte ptaca it would be ridiculous to talk about giving parti**,' ah* used to say; • but if my friends will drop in upon ma any afternoon they will always find a good wm of ten.'Thu* Mte* Coynay contrived to cry quite with th* bent people in Yafford nt th* cos* dertakor in Great Yaff.irJcnuld deviso to do honor to the dead wos done; and Little Yafford, draining tho dreg# of it# Christmas cun of dissipation, felt that Squire Haro- field's funeral made nu appropriate finish. Tho weather had changed ; the bare, barren fields were lightly powdered with snow ; the black ridge of moor-land was sharply ent against a bright blue sky; tha btack plume# tossed gaylev in the fresh frosty air. * It wa" t*n outing, anyhow,' raitj tbe people of Little Yafford. and there was a, good deni of extra liquor consumed at small way-aide bcvr-bouscs after the funeral. In the course of that afternoon the will wn# jirodaeed by Mr. Serntchell, who had drawn it, and who knew whore to look for it. Nothing could be simpler or more decided. It had been executed nine years before, and, with Iho exception of legacin* to old servants and five hundred p>uu<l* to Mr. Scratch^!!, it left every thing to Bea trix.

Mra. Dul- citnerltad harped upoa the curate's thought fulness, in sending for one of the cleverest men in London to protect her dear Beatrix from th* possibilities of evil. ' Il was very kind of him,' Beatrix said, somewhat constrainedly ; ‘ but 1 would much rather have dispensed with the Lon- d&n lawyer, or any other lawyer/ ■ My dearest Beatrix, Mr. Dulcimer and Cyril must iimterstAQd th* exigencies of the C&se far batter than you enu, and both agreed that tho inquest can not be too carefully watched on your behalf..

Thcmuwl# uf packages of the stock now ou hand would have brought fair prices if it had been sold whtn fresh. The croamefy system of making butter is compdliug attention everywhere.

PIE R C E’S STANDARD REMEDIES ATTENTION Laues & Gentlemen . ’ JBy J. n. B»iH. el mMolphlA} The dairy industry is now commanding n degree of attention commensurate with He importance from Loth consumers and pirdduricrs. The superior merits of Amer ican cheese and bnttcrrnQd the profitable ness of their production where given especial attention, have set all ialcregted in the subject to thinking, whilo-commtrco bugins to recognize their value to the trade of tho coantry,thom«gniluile of which faw realize. Aud jet the most intelligent observers, and those brat infor^ned on the sniped, regard the devclopemcut of the dairy industry as but yet in its infancy. A careful consider ation ofth^ question, in all its relations, will load any one to tho sama conclusion. ID less than thirty years the factory system of cbeoso making has grown from ono Mtnblinhinonl to three thousand. In that brief period the production has grown from 25,000,000 lbs per annum to over 300,000,- Compounds, and the exports have increas ed proportionately. Instead of a decline in price*, an advance of nearly one hundred per coni, ha# resulted, and they uro now relatively higher than ever before. Tun years ago ihera were no eheeso factories west of Control Now York, except on tlir Western Reserve in Ohio. Now a large district in tho comparatively now territory of western New York contain# hundreds of faefariej; one firm managing over forty. Northwestern Ohio baa anumbor. South ern Michigan is blessed with a score. In diana Ins a bakor'# dozen, Northern Illi-' note abound* ia them. Wisconsin boasts her hundreds, which turn out an article that almost m-iko# good, old Now York etnto blush for her laurels. Infant Iowa contains a score producing n floc article.

Tits larger the num ber of cow# tbs better, and the cheaper tbo maunfaotunug ean ba done, but huw- ever small tho number tho adoption ut this plan will in most sections incroaso the roturns to tbo producer fully one buudred per cent. As tho dairy industry extends, tho ten dency will ba to curtail tho cultivation of corn, thereby decreasing tho supply and advoncingtho price,and for this there seeu.s an actual necessity from this season’s ex perience. The pr ico of pork, which up to this year has favored the producer, but it. uow ngainsl him, would advance sufficient ly to raa've its production remunerative ; and with other causes I shall mention, would make it xuoro profitable to feed skim med milk, than to mauufsciuro it into cheese. In short, I believe the extension of the dairy industry’ and this particular branch, will provp beneficial to every ogii- cultural interest aa well us to those direct ly concerned. Thore is, however, serious danger of rttiii to the whole oulcrpiise, and it is my duty to point out tho rock, which if not atcidt d, will shatter the entire duiry sticcture. and that very soon. Il i# the produciion of an inferior articlo of either dinero or butler. Tho large increase, which is absolutely certain this year, iu both mitcles, will make poor qualities valueless, and scale dotvnlho prieo of fine goods. It is there, fore tho direct pergonal interest of every dairyman and of every mnoniaetnrer to discourage the production of any but tlio best cheese and the best butter. This fact cannot bo too gtrougly emphasized.

To tljo Illinois dairymen tbo cow is a never foiling opring. I have seen cheese factories in Hint stalo, m whiclv Hie cheese vat has pot aeon n holiday for three years. Tho low prieo of corn, oats, and pork ibis season has proven vary diseourajing to thio groat body of farmersMn tho W.-st. This, together with the groat prosperity of their neighbors in the dairying business, is leading to a change from grain production, iu whole or-part, to dairying.aud I am froe 'to encourage it.

Tliecbanzo will benefit tlw#» who continue general farming.’ As I have already indicated, if wo give the people fine cheese, they wilt eat all they can make, because it is cheaper, better,and root* wholesome than meat, Truo, tho Ji*me demand has not increased propor tionately with that from abroad, bnt the ncceMities of the ease are compelling great er attention to that outlet, and I believe it within tbs rangjk of possibilities to make such’ a demand for cheese at borne, while paying rtriet attention to Hi# foreign trade, »T>aV wffl evabto » doable production over Represent.

If tha manufacture of skim- , wed and inferior eheeso continue, ruinwill follow. If poor bailer is still made where good might be. all will sulur, but the chief danger »in tho cheese department as i( has not yet suffered to the extout that bniter has. The prosent almost valudess- uess of inferior butter W>R decrease its pro duction materially the present year, while a fioo article is apt to bo made nt the ex pense of our cheese. The latter therefore is in tho greatest danger. The milk pro ducer is tho one who will solve this spestiou of rise or fall. It is out of the manufactur er's hands. Ho is but tho instrument of the dairy men, whoso greed and shortsigbt- nos# has caused the markets to be flooded with ski turned and half skimmed cheese, and improperly manufactured tall creams. First, through a deeiro to get more than tho value of his milk ; second, by refusing to pay tho worth of skilled labor ar d tbo use of unfit ingredients; third, by the sup ply of impure or damaged milk. Aud ho will suffer the consequence of eoutinuiug all or either of these practices. In point ing to tho cause of danger I have indicated lUe course that must bo adapted for their avoidance, but I will be specific. First. Greater attention musx be given to the pro- ductiou of pure, rich milk. To this end proper kinds of cows, proper feed for thom and their proper care are necessary. The milk must then bo properly taken care of to keep it sweet and pure until it reaches the factory or creamery. Then tho intelli- gonco and enterprise that has produced the propsr kind of milk will have provided a suitable place for its manufacture and a skilled workman to convert it into cheese , or butter.
