FACTS ABOUT MILK,

Cream cannot rise through great depth
of milk. If, therefore, milk is desired to
retain its cream for time, it should be put
into deep, narrow dish ; and if it be desir-
ed to free it most completely Of cream it
should be poured into broad, fiat dish, not
much exceeding one inch in depth. The
evolution of cream is facilitated by rise,
and retarded by depression Of temperature
Atth usual temperature of the dairy-5O
degrees of Fahrenheit the cream will
probably rise in thirty-siE hours; but at 10
degrees it will perhaps rise in half that time; !;
and when the milk is kept near the freezing
point, the cream will rise very slowly be-
cause it becomes solidifed.
In wet and cold weather the milk is less
rich than in dry and warm, and on this ac-
count more cheeseis obtained in cold than
in wram, though not in thundery weather.
The season has its effects. The milk in spring
is supposed to be the best for drinking
hence it would be the best for calves; in
summer it is best suited for cheese; and in
autumn the butter keeping is better than
that of summer-the COWS less frequently
MIXED, give richer milk, and consequently
more butter. The mornings milk is richer
than the evenings. The last drawn milk
of each milking, at all times and seasons, is
richer than the first drawn, which is the poor

A GOOD PRACTICAL JOKE.

An English paper tellsa story of scientif
io lecturer, whose popular discourses on
medicine and various sciences Herewith con-
nected, had given offence to the more ortho-
dox members of the profession. A couple
of embryo NJ. DIS. resolved upon testing his
medical skill.
They accordingly called upon him, and
one of them, fine healthy young man, with
roguish eye, complained of certain pains
in the chest, a cough, night sweats, &c.
The Doctor heard his tale, asked a number
Of questions, and, after long diagnosis, de-
clared him to be in deep consumption
This was just what was wanted, and the
young gents could hardly control their mirth
while DR.. Mills wrote his prescription, sealed
it up ina envelope, and directed it to one of
our first chemists, pocketed his fee, and
bowed them out of the room. To the chem
ists..they rushed to enjoy the pent up laugh,
and handing him the note he read: "This
young man is suffering from cerbia hernia in
the region marked "self-esteem" by phren-
ologists. Pray, therefore, give him common
sense grains; wit, l drachm, horsewhip,
ad liJituns-J. NJ" We hardly expect the
Doctor will get another professional patient

informed the applicant that he could not

But there are only four of US, sir re-

'Not one less than fve,' persisted the oth-

The gentleman was about leaving, when a
barber, well known to our citizens, velun-
teered his services, making the number
complete.

when the gentlemen left.

advantages. In order to effect it, select the
most likely laborer on the farm put the i'm
plements under his care, and make it a strict
rule with all the men, that each implement
done with for the season, shall be brought
to one particular place, say near the pond or
pump; the man having charge of the imple-
ments must then wash and clean them we'll
before putting them into the shed, and at
convenient time, when not otherwise engag-
ed, or in weather when outdoor work can
not be performed, get them repaired and
paint them. The man should be encourag-
to make his duty pleasure, and to feel a
pride in showing his Employers Implements
in fine order"

the ears of many farmers but it is sound
and judicious, and if followed strictly. there
will be fewer complaints in regard to the

THE ORCHARD AND FRUIT GARDEN.
Before this number reaches our remote
readers, the fate of all early Fruits will
probably be settled for his season. At pres
ent, (March 15) the prospect for Peaches,
Nectarines, &C., hereabouts, is very good; ;
but We know not what "chilling blight"
may fall upon them hereafter. The Peach
crop is not really safe before the middle of
April. Something may be done towards
protecting the blossoms in gardens and small
orchards, by burning piles of partially de-
cayed wooden frosty nights, but no feasible
and practicable plan has yet been discovered
for counteracting the frost in extensive Or
chards, speading over large surface. The
most critical time for the blossoms is (accord-
ing to one of our pomological friends) "when
the anthers are scattering their pollen" So,
look sharp for your fires, and raise huge
smoke, should frosty nighte come at that
time.
Young trees, if properly planted and trim
med, will need no stalking; but if they are
inclined to blow about in the wind, tie them
up to a firm stake with stout and broad
strip of cloth-tailor's "listing" or "selv-
edge" is excellent for one season. Should
the spring be dry and warm, they must be
Immediately mulched heavily Gas directed
for Roses below,) and watered, through the
muzching, from time to time. Do not delay
the mulching beyond the middle of April, at
all events. It is one of the most important
operations connected with tree culture in the
South.
Spare the birds in your orchard and gar
dens-they are your best friends they "pay
their rent" not only in music and in the de-
light which they afford the eye and the heart,
but also in the destruction of myriads of
rapacious insects. As further protection
against predatory insects, hang up a number
of wide-mouthed bottles, half filled with
molasses-water, in your trees-you will catch
a great number of them.
