PRIDE IN ONE’S VOCATION. 
We nrc of those who believe that, a man 
should bd iti love with and proud of his voca¬ 
tion—that, growing out of such pride is success. 
We do not believe In these half-and-half men 
and women, Every mun should magnify and 
honor his vocation; but ho should do this by 
his acta rather than his works. Farmers are 
too willing to he called and regarded as “ mud¬ 
sills,” “clod-hoppers,” and the like. Some 
seem to t ake pride in being so regarded, and to 
adapt themselves so nearly to the name as to 
be appropriately called so. This la, ID our opin¬ 
ion, all wrong. That, is not the kind of pride 
we would stimulate— not the character we 
would have farmer* assume, nor the one we 
would assume as a farmer. Nor would we cul¬ 
tivate any extreme sensitiveness about the ap¬ 
plication of such a title. But the intelligent 
farmer has right and title to respect, to respect¬ 
ful regard, and to respectful appellations. 
Pride In one’s vocation, such as we would 
encourage, means love for it, dignity growing 
out of consciousness of its capability to con¬ 
sume all the energies he can c.vokc in pursuing 
it, and-falth that It requires as much mental 
capacity, culture, enterprise, forecast and en¬ 
ergy to suooeed in It as in any other human 
employment. There should be no simulated or 
real self-humiliation. Nor should there be any 
egotistic, bombastic self-glorifications. Lei 
every farmer, young or old, attempt to learn 
what his every-day life on the farm will teach 
him he is ignorant of, and there will be abun¬ 
dant cause for humility : and let him once begin 
to learn whut every thoughtful, investigating 
farmer will soon find must be learned, and he 
will form new ideas of the dignity and worthi¬ 
ness of his business. 
OH! IF. 
Oh, if farmers had a wider range of reading 
and experience, what a crop of pecuniary and 
mental profit they might reap and gather into 
the garners of the purse, the mind and the 
heart! 
IVe find the above exclamation in a. letter to a 
contemporary. It evidently came from u knowl¬ 
edge of the listless, thoughtless, hum-drum 
lives that too many American farmers live-of 
that plodding, mechanical, aeml-bcastly exist¬ 
ence, which, looking all the time at and being 
familiar with results, discovers no laws, studies 
not the wonderful proc.*ssea of, and cares not 
for the knowledge which Nature Is ready to 
yield them if-lhey will but take the key and un¬ 
fasten the lock and open the door of her secrets. 
Lack of observation, want of vital Interest, ab¬ 
sence of Inquiry, taking things for granted, be¬ 
lieving in the fatality of all things in that blind, 
stupid way which palsies all moral responsibili¬ 
ty and free agency, fits the farmer tlf such a 
man may be called one) to be the poor, credu¬ 
lous, Ignorant, and apparently powerless bur¬ 
then bearer for other classes, which too many 
complain that they are and which, really, i-uch 
men are only fit to be I 
Oh! that we could galvanize such Inert souls 
into something like a realization of the oppor¬ 
tunities they throw away, the blessings they 
forego, the compensations they reject, and of 
the sweet fruits of life of which they never 
taste 1 If wo could do It bjr abuse and denunci¬ 
ation we would lake the risk of doing it!

RURAL NOTES AND QUERIES. 
Thu Milk and Cream Revival tn New York. 
—There is a great revolut ion in New York City 
In consequence of the sudden and extraordina¬ 
rily-developed regard on the part of Its citizens 
who lunch down town, for milk arid cream. 
The dairy system is becoming one of the most 
prominent, features of the city, and is affecting 
the old-time restaurants seriously. For in¬ 
stance, we now have establishments known as 
the “ Alderney Dairy," “ Durham Dairy," “ Qua¬ 
ker Dairy," (two or three of them,) and other 
dairies with different names. At. these dairies 
milk and cream, pure, cool and sweet, is served 
fo hungry New Yorkers, with all kinds of fresh 
bread, grits, oatmeal, puddings, fruits, See., See. 
The popularity of these institutions here. Is 
encouraging to the milk producers. The in¬ 
crease In the quantity of milk consumed In the 
city must be very large, for at some of these 
“ Dairies," 1,600 to 2.000 persons are served daily 
with it. It Is good. It Is one of t he beat reform 
agencies ever introduced. The man who drinks : 
milk loses all desire for liquor. We know men 
who have asserted to us that now, Instead of \ 
going for a glass of beer when thirsty, they c 
di Ink milk, and the desire for strong drink is 1 
banished for the day. Neat, accommodating ’’ 
and bright girls wait on their customers, and t 
tjmtr winsomenci-.H, neatness and deftness, to- * 
getlier with the health-giving fluid and the , 
wholesome I,read, pudding and pastry they | 
M i vo, render these dairies the most attractive i 
and satisfying lunch places for hungry and 
overworked New Yorkers. Besides, t hey are ' 
economical. Twenty-five cents will buy as sat- 
isfyirig a lunch as fifty and seventy-five cents i 
will purchase at one of the ordinary restaurants ^ 
—and a decidedly better lunch for active brains j! 
and exhausted bodies. & 
statement, a sadly abused man. If wo accept 
his statement. Hod. John Jay, Minister to 
ant transactions. From all we can learn, brew¬ 
ers are not liberally supplied with hops, and 
Austria, is responsible for all this disgraceful with a continuance of the present lively demand 
scandal, and whatever his motive may have 
been, he certainly has succeeded In preventing 
any good impression of this country to result 
for beer, they will soon find themselves com¬ 
pelled to come into market and replenish their 
stocks. Our advices from the growing districts 
from the efforts of American exhibitors. We report the vine ns being very backward, yet. wo 
ctannot help I (linking t hat the State Depart¬ 
ment has sadly blundered in its management 
are inclined to the opinion that if the Interior 
has been favored with a temperature anything 
o f l he matter, and that It would have been bet-i like that which has prevailed in New Y'ork 
The National Agricultural Congress. —This 
organization met at Indianapolis May 20. Ninety 
societies were represented and 150 delegates 
were present. From the reports we have seen, 
we gather that, the Coinn Ittee on Agricultural 
Colleges made two reports—the majority, report 
indorsing the efforts being made to seen re addi¬ 
tional aid for the Agricultural Colleges, favoring 
the Morrlll bill, and recommending the ap¬ 
pointment of a committee to memorialize Con¬ 
gress upon the subject. We do not know the 
recommendations of the minority report at 
this writing; but, after a spirited debate, both 
reports were laid upon the table, and we have 
no information t.hut they were afterward taken 
up. The Committee on Transportation also 
made an elaborate report, but the Congress 
does not seem to have indorsed its recom¬ 
mendations and no final action was taken, 
though much discussion was had upon It. The 
Committee on Railroad Systems’ report, seems 
to have been more successful, since it was 
adopted. 1 1 indorsee t he doctrine that railroads 
receiving aid from the State by luxation of the 
people should be subject to the power granting 
their charters in the limitation of their rates. 
A Vice-President for each Btate represented 
was selected for the current year, and provision 
made for the publication and distribution of a 
large number of copies of the report of the 
proceedings of the congress. Gen. W. 11. Jack- 
son of Tennessee was chosen President, and 
Chas. W. Ghken, Secretary. Atlanta, Ga., was 
selected as the place lor the next meeting, which 
will be held on the second Wednesday of May 
1874. 
tor, as we said at first, that American exhibit¬ 
ors should have been permitted to look out for 
themselves.

The Old and Reliable Advertising Agency of 
S. M. Pettenoii.l & Oo.—which has offices in 
Mew York. Boston and Philadelphia—Ls paid a 
deserved compliment by the Boston Journal. 
It says the firm commenced t heir Boston agency 
nearly a quarter a century sign at.No. 10State 
St., where it i»still located, carrying on a large | 
and successful business. They established a 1 
branch in New York city May, 1852, which has 
thrown to be ranch larger than the parent house, 
I increasing steadily year by year until now it has 
>!he agency of nearly every newspaper In the 
•United States and British Provinces, and docs 
• i yearly business of hundreds of thousands of 
i{ollar*. 8. M. Pkttenoill A Co. have recently 
opened another branch office at 701 ChoBtnut 
street, Philadelphia, whore they are doing a 
hiticcesaful and increasing business. They have 
, done advertising exceeding ten millions ol dol- 
liire. This firm is favorably known not only 
throughout this country but in all parts of the 
q orld. They established a reputation for hon¬ 
orable md fair dealing which any firm might 
unvy and but few attained to. We congratulate 
t,hem upon their success. We would recom¬ 
mend all who want advertising done In any 
Dart of the country to call upon them. They 
uan point to hundreds of business men who 
Dave followed their advice and trusted to their 
srtgaeity and availed themselves of their facili¬ 
ties who have tnado fortunes for themselves, 
and they are dally assisting others In the samo

Obituary.—In announcing the death cf Mrs. 
Dr. N. 8 Barnes, (well known to our readers as 
“ Kate Cameron,") which sad event occurred 
at Chicago on the 26th ult., we convoy mourn¬ 
ful intelligence to thousands of loving and 
appreciative friends of the sweet singer. In a 
notice of the exemplary and accomplished de¬ 
ceased, ttic Koch ester Democrat feelingly says: 
Just in the prime of n noble and beautiful 
womanhood, strengthened by a holy Christian 
fuitb, blessed with a disposition as lovely as it 
was sunny, with capabilities of mind and heart 
•- uigulorly combined to make the lives of those 
around her brighter and better, it seems very 
sad that her young and brilliant life should have 
been exchanged su soon for the marble drapery 
of deat h; that the hand that was always true In 
Its warm ami loving grasp should now He still 
and cold forever; that the eyes that looked 
with tender kindness into the heart of every 
tj lend can look no more Into the faces of those 
s’ib loved. 
-Mrs. Barkeh was the daughter of John («. 
IVilliams, lately deceased, and was born in 
Deerfield, Mass,, Alay 24th, INK). In 180(1 she 
came to Rochester as the wife of Dr. Barnes. 
•from her earliest years she had given evidence 
of more than ordinary ability a* a writer, both 
ol prose and verse, and when she came to our 
oil y her pen soon became constanly employed 
in contributing to t he columns of the Rural 
INew-Yorkkb, and In editing the Journal of the 
Mount. She was also the uuthores* or many 
hymns which were set to music mid have been I 
s,ung In almost every Sabbath School; "March- I

bidden City," ami “The Shining Hills of Glory"

The Vienna Exposition Scandal.— There are 
two sides to all questions. No matter whether 
there has been corruption or not, It cannot fail 
to be the opinion of all thoughtful men that 
the Government has sadly blundered In its 
management of the matter. The corrections, 
if any were to be made, might have been effected 
without giving all Europe an opportunity to 
laugh at us and point at us the finger of scorn. 
Qen ; Van Buken is irate, and, according to his 
< lean ihu Cellars !—That seventy-five-year- 
0 Id "Daily Rural Life" of ours, came into the 
office, with lire in his eyes, and throwing a 
b unch of Daphne, cncorum down on our table 
said, " There ! that smells sweeter by hall than 
the butter J buy in the country does, nowa¬ 
days! And, by the way, 1 wish you would tell 
people to clean their cellars! J’vo had to buy 
butter of some of my neighbors. It had such 
a horn I nable flavor, though made by excellent, 
butter makers, that wo could not use it. On 
investigation, we found that the milk had been 
nd in the collars before they bad been cleaned 
—set in the stench of decaying vegetables, fruits, 
j.c., and of course had absorbed it ail and com¬ 
bined os many perfumes as Cologne and as many 
flavors as a Spanish ollapodrida! Tell them to 
dean their cellars—at least, before they set 
their milk In them from which to make butter 
to sell to me I" And we said, Amen I 
Introducing Improved Slock in Canada.— 
j There is a proposition to ask the Legislature of 
Ontario to make appropriation lor the purpose 
of introducing into the respective counties of 
the Province the most valuable farm animals— 
the stock to be purchased by the several County 
and Riding Agricultural Societies, and sold to 
the members thereof under restrictions most 
beneficial to themselves, all moneys arising from 
such sales to be added to the Annual Legisla¬ 
tive grant. It is also suggested that the privi¬ 
lege of expending such appropriations for seed 
as well as stock be granted. Whether such co¬ 
operation will prove practical ar.J profitable, is 
what the agriculturists of CY . ida are now called 
upon to consider.

Cornell University.—A member of the State 
Legislature, not long since made a virulent at- 
n tack upon Ezra Cornell, the patron of Cornell 
a University, criticising his management of the 
| public land scrip purchased by him of the State, 
1’ located and held in trust for the University. 
e Mr. Cornell promptly denied the charges 
G made by him and asked Gov. Dlx to appoint a 
a Commission to investigate his action. Governor 
* Dix has complied with this request and ap- 
3 * pointed Horatio Seymour of Oneida Co., Wil-

dooa not, judging by his talk, go on a simple

means business; and we hope that his visit will 
result In practical good to the Country, os we 
believe it will.
