MILK CLEAN.-In some careful experiment
made by DR.. Anderson, the quantity Of cream
obtained from the first drawn cup Of milk was
in every case smaller than the last drawn /;
and those between afforded less or more, as
they we're nearer the beginning or the end.
The quantity of the cream obtained from the
last drawn cup from some COWS, exceeded that
from the first in the proportion of sixteen to
one. In others the proportion was not SO
great. Probably" says Dr.. Anderson, on
an average Of great many COWS, it might be
found to run as ten or twtiue TO one" The
difference in the quality of the cream was also
much greater than the difference in quantity.
From this it appears, that the person who,
by bad milking of his cows, loses but half a
pint of his milk, loses in fact about as much
cream as would be afforded by SIX or eight
pints at the beginning and loses, besides, that
part Of the cream wAich alone can give
richness and high favor to the butter"

HINTS TO LADIEs.-Lady readers, will the
following hints be useful
Britannia should be first rubbed gently with
a wooden cloth and sweet oil, then washed in
warm suds and with soft leather and whiting.
Thus treated, it will retain its beauty to the
last. New iron should be gradually heated at
first; after it has become Injured with the
heat, it is not likely to crack. 1t is good
plan to put new earthen ware into water. and
let it heat gradually until it boils, then cool
again. Brown earthen ware, particularly
may be toughened in this way. A handful Of
wheat Or rye bran, thrown in while boiling
will preserve the glazing, SO that twill not b.
destroyed by acid or salt. Clean brass ket
tie, before using it for cooking, with salt and
vinegar. The oltener carpets are shaken the
longer they will wear. The dirt that collects
under them, grinds out the threads. If yor
you wish to preserve the teeth. always clea,
them thoroughly after you have eaten your
last meal at night. Wooden should be WASHED
in vary hot suds, and not rinsed Lukewaru
water shrinks wooden goods. Never allow
ashes to be taken up into wooden vessels Of
put into wood. Always have your matches
and lamp ready for use in case of suddel
alarm. Have important papers all together
where you can lay your hands on them at onc'
in case Of fire. Do not wrap knives and fork
in wooens. Wrap them in good, strong pa
per. Steel is injured by lying in woolens
Old bread may be made almost as good a
new, by dipping the loaf in cold water, the
putting it the oven after the bread is drawn
or stove, and let it heat through. Isingas

When boiling common starch, sprinkle in
little fine salt; it will prevent its sticking
Some use sugar.

FARM TO READ AROUT.

The Ohio State Journal give the following
description of the farm oil Gen. Worthington,
near Chillicothe -
while in Chillicothe few days since, we
awaited ourselves of an opportunity Of visiting
the fine farm of Gen. Worthingtou, which is
located about two miles north of this city,
upon the high grounds that overlook the beau.
tiful valley OF the Scioto.
This farm contains about seven or eight
hundred acres of the best land in the garden
Of Ohio, we'll supplied with the purest wpter,
and adorned with magnificent groves of forest
trees. Fruit of the choicest kind, and of
every variety are to be found in the spacious
orchards, for there are several, while the grape
and the melon vines that were growing luxu.
riently on every hand, satisfied US that the
General would never suffer for the want Of
friendly visitors during the grape and melon
season. Figs from the land Of Smyrna, fri.
oles from the plains of Mexico, and peas from
the semi-civilized country of Japan, flourish
in bis well cultivated gardens, objects of curl.
osify to the stranger, and of pride and graft.
fcation to the well cultivated taste of the Gen
A large stone mansion built for durability,
comfort and convenience, by his ancestor. the
late Gov. Worthington, stands upon the bluff
from the top of which may be seen country
all up and down the winding Seioto, that il
our humble opinion surpassed anything tina,
can be seen this side of Jordan.
Fronting the farm on the east, at the foot o
the hill, Is lake constructed by the Genera
himself, from marshy piece of ground. con
tanning about fifteen acres, which is now stock
ed with various kinds of fishes, that await hi
pleasure whenever he may choose to have then
served up at his table.
A large ice house built npon the verge o
the lake, stands conveniently ready to receiv
the frozen liquid into its capacious NAV
whenever old winter with his hoary locks ma
choose to present the Offering. From this re
ceptacle Of one of the chief Injuries Of sun
mer the General is enabled to supply III
wants Of the people of Chillicothe during tn
hot season. Is
At convenient distance from the temptin
waters Of this beautiful lake, the milk Of fift
short-horn Durhams is kept, from the sale {
which alone, the General realized the snu
little sum Of four thousand dollars"

which were exposed the wonders of the jewell
ler's art, or posted in the quarter where the
cashmeres we're exposed. Soaietimes he was
found near the rich lsces, and sometimes IN
the gallery where the Lyons silks displayed
their magnihcence.
Young ladies who did not know they were
watched, expressed frankly their impressions
and their wishes before these wonderful and
splendid articles. oh, what beautiful dia-
monds, and how fortuuate one would be who
could marry and have such,' they cried. ooh,
what admirable cashmcres, | will have enc

cent, will have this toor That hAke'
three All, well, we have got half through
the list, husband who knows how to live
could he do less than put six cashmeres into
the csrbeille.'
Thousands of young ladies expressing them
selves thus, showing their covetousness, theil
vanity, their exaction, their coquetry, CANT
before him, and every evening as he quittet
his post, pensive and melancholy, he said
with sigh,
They are all the same. I must still remai'
bachelor Every day the sad truth becsm
more evident to him which he bewailed II
something like these words
AT the present time in Paris, galan
man who has only ten thousand francs income
is not rich enough to marry. He must selec
between celibacy and ruin!
But he was wrong to be so absolute in hi
despair, end to include all the marrigable Ia
dies in the circle OF his Reproduction. Their
are exceptions, at least there was one.
After three months distressing trial tn
despairing bachelor saw young lady pas
near the diamond case who only threw upo
the jewelry disdainiul glance. He followe
her to the cashmeres, she barely threw, upo
them careless look. Laces streatched gu
like nets, did not detain her single minute
Rich silk stuffs found her Indifferent, she di
not honor them with glance. But on th
other hand this extraordinary young perso
stopped a long time before the household
utensils, examined them with care, and made
to her mother who accompanied her, very sen
sble observations upon the advantages o
these various Objects aud the economy whic
would arise from their use.
The bachelor, enchanted and ravished, fol
lowed this admirable young lady-he did nc
breathe freely until he learned she was III
married. He asked her hand, offered her hi
ten thousand-was accepted, and will evel
lastingIy bless the universal exhibition
least he hopes to.

Through the boughs Of the wild cedar tree,

Bright angelic visions my vigils keep
And in that mystic land see

The smile upon the cheek so fair
Which brings me sweetest thoughts Of thee. j..

STACKING Corn STALKs.-A correspondent
Of the Boston CuhirdtJr has tried various
methods of curing his corn stalks, but without
satisfactory success. Last fall after the stalks
were sufficiently cured. he carted them into
the barn, and instead of setting them up, as
formerly, he packed them down and on every
layer of stalks put layer Of fine salt, say a
bushel to ton. The cattle eat them up clean
and he is satisfied with the result.
