Pure air does not mean a strong &might, as the 'urines

moment for skimming Is depends on the temperature
and etanospherie conditions generally. In Holuein the
rule is—in the heat of summer (temperature 55 dega to
60dere Fahrenheit in the milk-room) skim after the
milk his stood for from 32 to 16 hour.; in spring and
autumn (at 40 'legs, to 50 digs.), about 46 hoots; and
in winter (43 dep. to 45 den.) about 60 hours. This
should get the whole of the cream; but if at any time

at one*. The crown, as it is removed, is strained
into the cream tubs, and kept occasionally
stirred. It remains there until it has sufficiently
thickened, and has acquired a pleasant acrid tut*.

1.111 PRINCI or WALES'S FARM AT SANDIUNCHAY.
The completion of the model farm piemises mark' the
f•ct that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has
become a practical agriculturist, and iome few
particulars respecting the royal farm will be read with
interest. The estate oonsista of about 7,000 acres,
2 000 of which are heath and plantations, sod about
500 of these are planted. The perk is only about 'OO
acres in extent, and • portion of it produces a useful
herbage; but some of it was wiry isferior till improved
by drainage an I moulding, with top dressing and
spinkling with seeds. For many years a small piece
of freehold land belonging to a man n.med Clark,
about three acres in extent, has jutted into the park ;
but this has just been purchased by the Priem and /ias
been thrown into the park, and all the cottages on this
(the West Newton) •ide of the park are being emoved.
The farm, which the Prince has taken into his own I
hands, is about 480 acres in extent, and includes the
home farm at Sandringham, and that which was
formerly Clark's farm at West Newton. Of this we
find there are 365 scres of amble land and 47 Wee
of grass, besides about 70 acres of marshes at Wolfer.

the estate has recently been considerably added
to by the reclamation' of the Norfolk Fetus y
Company. About • hundred acres of the Piece's ,
arable land cowing of good, bright and productive I
land, and about the same quantity is a fair mil on •
chalk subeoil, and the remaining 165 acres are poor,
on sandy, light land resting upon the carr sad
gravel on the West Newton heath. The poorest
of this land is prolific of buildingfro and road-
making meterial, It will be uen m what is
stated above, that including the perk his royal
highness farms about an equal quantity of a-able and

They ise built with a native cur will, stone and brick

ings contains two open yards, and this block is 168 feet

contains in the centre an iron water-tank, 13 feet 6
