Keep stock I'm Good Condition.

1t is of great advantage TO the farmer
to keep his stock in good condition, not
onl y in the first of the winter, but thro'
the season of feeding, till they can sub
sist well abroad.
An animal may be kept short of food
in the latter part of the fall or first of
winter, at very small saving in food,
but at a great loss in the condition of
the animal. 1t is like sailing hog
with pound of salt-a saving of salt
but loss of Bacon. One dollar saved
by short keeping of animals, will be
loss of five dollars. 1t will cost more 10
keep the animals through the whole
winter, and the profit from the animals,
either in growth or milk will be lost.

DAILY Chronicle.
Resurrectionists.

On Tuesday afternoon, as Mr.. Samuel Young, a
city missionary, of No. 1913 Spring street, New
York, was passing along the warf at the foot of
Courtland street, his attention was arrested by a
beer barrel on the warf, around which number of
persons were assembled, and on examining which
he discovered the head out, and the bodies of an
old man and young woman, partly protrudng
,herefrom. After examining and finding them to
he fresh subjects, covered over with hops and the
dregs Of bier, he headed the barrel up again, and
FASTENED to the Coroner's office, but the Coroner
was not there to attend to the inquest on the bodies
The barrel directed to Mr.. S,illmaD, at Al
bany, and there is no dOub, that the bodies had been
disintered by some resuneconists, for the purpose
of being sent to Albany, to anatomst for dis
section. crowd continued about the barrel up to
the hour Of nighfall, and considerable excitement
was caused on account of the discovery Of these
bodies picked in the ba'rel.-Express.

Hints to Farmers.

1t is much to be wished that our far
mers were more desirous TO possess
good, fertile, productive farms, than
LARGE farms. If farmers in our coun-
try, instead Of increasing the number of
their acres, would bestow more care
and expense in the best possible mans
ner, on every acre they already possess,
they would live easier, and become
richer and happier. 1t has often been
remarked especially by those who have
travelled abroad, that the great fault of
our American farmers lies in their
eager desire to add field to field, which
often impoverishes them, keeps them in
debt, and renders them unable to bring
any Of their land into the highest and
most profitable state of cultivation.
The advice of Dean Swift should be
treasured up by every good farmer
This distinguished man said, "Whoever
can make two ears of corn or two
blades of grass grow upon spot of
ground where onl y one grew before,
does more essential service TO his coun-
try than the whole race of politicians
put together" Mer. Jour.

CREAM.

The peculiarly rich cream of Devon
shire, England, called clouted cream, is
obtained by using zinc pans of pccu>
liar construction, consisting of an upper
and lower apartment. The milk is put
into the upper apartment; and after it
has stood twelve hours, an equal quantl-
ty of boiling water is introduced into
the lower one. At the end of another
twelve hours, the cream is taken off
much more easily and perfectly than in
the common way, and is also more
abundant and richer. The result of
twelve experiments carefully made
were as follows: four gallons of milk
treated as above, gave in twcnty-iour
hours, four and half pints of cream,
which Welded, after churning fifteen
minutes, forty ounces of butter; four
gallons treated in the usual way, gave
in forty-cight hours, four pints of cream,
which yielded, after churning ninety
minutes, thirty-siX ounces of butter.
The increase in the quantity Of cream is
~ l-2 per cent.
The same principles may be applied
in the use of common pans. 1t would
be very easy, for instance, to prepare
some kind of trough, or tin, perhaps, or
even wood, into which the pans could
be set, and hot water afterwards intro
duced.
AS a close trough would be much
better than an open one, you may have
cover in which to set the pans. An
ingenious Yankee tinman would soon
make range in this way, sufficient for
a common dairy, at no very great ex-
pense. 1t would last indefinitely. If it
is true, that you would thus get some
two pounds more butter a week from
each COW, the apparatus and the trou>
BILE would soon be paid for; TO say no.
thing of the time saved in churning.
We do not sec why zinc pans, which
are said to be decidedly preierabl to any
other for the dairy, with the tin range
as above, would not be quite as good a,
the complicated and expensive Devon
shire pans. And it would be easy fol
a dairy woman to satisfy herself re
specting the principle, without either
By using cold water instead of hot, tn
range would serve to keep mlk s,gcc
in warm weather.

The Washington Monument.

This subject, which has lately been revived Is
not we trust, again to drop. The state Of the case
seems to he ihus The State Society of (jincinna.
ii are in possossi of SIC oOO large part of
which sum has from time to time been made up of
the voluntary contributions of our citizens, and by
them has been invested. The society are merely
trustees. Ano her fund IF about $4,000 is the in-
vcsiment Of committee appointed by the citizens
in 1924. A committee IN 1882 was again sp-
pointed, and one during the present year, under
whose auspices about Sc, 600 have been subscribed,
and models Of an equestrian statue Erocurej. But
$4,000 are required to construct a statue Of ron
b' auful in design and worthy of the subject, the
ma'e'ial ('he ron) having been rendered by Penn
sylvaniaD, one Of our Congressman. The amount
of about $4,000 remains to be raised, but our ci
tizens decline paying until they are assured the
work will Immediately proceed. This being GER
tain, there is no difficulty in raising the smount in
a month. The Cincinnati, however. seem to en-.
iettain doubt whether their committee should no,
have the exclusive direction Of the work, and fur.
ther that the money must all be raised before
commencement. AS 10 the first point, they are
mere trustees for the contributors, who are clamo-
rous to proceed. and there can be no objection to
the blending of the committees Of the citizens and
the society. The public wW not ,cait longer, and
these who have contributed aud wish 10 contribute,
have right to demand action forthwith. It is q
disgrace to city that this matter should stand as
it does. We understand, however, a plan is con.
templatod, which, if carried out will put an end to
further delay. A Washington Monument Asso
citation" is to be formed in each ward and township
in the city aad county. On the approaching birth
day Of Washington, public meeting is to be held
which ought to be one of the most numerous ever
held in this city, when the people will take it into
their own hands. Success must and ought to be
the result.-American Sentinel
