ES A writer in the Scientific American
recommends to the ladies very simple ar
rangement for keeping butter nice and cool
in the hottest weather. Procure large new
fowerpot, of sufficient size to cover the but
template, and also saucer large enough for
the fowerpot to rest in upside down place
trivet or meat stand (such as is sent to the
oven when joint is baked) in the saucer, and
put on this trivet the plate of butter now
fill the saucer with water, and turn the flower
pot over the butter, SO that its edges will be
below the water. The hole in the fower.pot
must be filled with q cork the butter will
then be in what we may call an air tight
chamber Let the whole of the outside of
the flower-pot be then thoroughly drencI ed
with water and place as you can. If this bc
over night the butter will be as firm as rock"
at breakfast time or, if placed there in the
morning the butter will be quite hard for use
at tea hour The reason Of this is, that when
water eyaporates, it produces cold the po-
rus pot draws up the water which in warm
weather quickly evaporates from the sides,
and thus coolS it, and as no warm air can now
get at the butter it becomes firm and cool in
the hottest day.

SQuAsHEs.-Many persons fail to get good
squashes in consequence OF the bugs making
such havoc with the young and tender plants,
what they do not eat being so mutiIated and
poisoned as to prevent their growth. Vari-
Gus modes have been reSorted to, to prevent
these ravages, but with little effect. The
squash is strong feeder, and needs rich
and warm soil, and when it has these, and
can be kept out of the way Of the bugs, there
is no difficulty in procuring good crop. The
best preventative however, of the bugs, is to
plant late-say from the 18th to the Goth of
June the plants come thick at that season,
il the soil is suitable and go on with rapid
and uninterrupted growth---Haine Farmer

Clover Hay.

The clovers are just considered as among
the best and most valuable of the cultivated
grasses Yet, owing to an error in cutting
and curing them, very considerable portion
Of the rich nutritrive matters they contain is
lost. As preventive of this, correspon.
dent of the Germantown Telegraph gives the
following
have now a NOW of red clover, sparsely
intermixed with which are small quantities
of white clover, red top brown top and herds
grass which was cut when honeysuckles was
in full bloom, and made in grass cock, accord
ing to the rules laid down sometime since in
the columns of your paper for curing this
kind of hay. must say that although had
not much faith in the matter at first, the re-
suit has fully proved the correctness OF the
writer's views, and that | no longer doubt
the theory upon which the practice is based
If clover is cut when in bloom and permitted
to remain undSturbcd in the swath till the
forenoon of the second day and then turned
exposing the under and unwilted side to the
sun for few hours, and then pitched carefully
into cocks of sixty-pounds weight, cured hay,
and there allowed to stand till cured the hay
will be heavier, brighter of better favor and
possessed of far greater nouriShmeit than hay
of the same kind made in ordinary manner.
The leaves and fine heads, which are inevit-
ably lost in drying in the ordinary way in
consequence Of their brittlencss when dried,
are in this way preserved. The flavor of the
hay is also vastly superior One ton of good
clover, made in this way, is worth, for feed
ing, two tons cured the old way, and deprived
by turning, spreading and ilchng of its heads
and leaves. The fermentation which it un.
dergoes in the cock is never sufficiently vigor-
GUS to diSsipate any of the elementary proper
ties ana is rarely sufficient to be perceptible
by the hand. That the heat is very moder,
ate is sufficiently attested by the fact that
the color, not only of the foliage which is nat
uraly of deep and vivid green, but the
bright crimson of the flowers, is retained
which would not be the case where the fer
mentation as vigorous as many would lead
US to believe. Any grass cured in this way
will be more nutritiYe, of better color and
greater weight than the same grass made il
the old way.

FACTS FOR THE FARNER-Fence posts
should never be set in the soil till seasoned
although wood is known to be more durable
in wet ground, if the degree of moisture is re-
gularly kept up. Constant wetness promotes
rather than decreases the durability of posts ;
stil the lamentations of the natural sap will
induce rot. We ought to mention in cou-
necton with this the fact that all timber used
in the lower and more exposed parts of build
ings, ought to be thoroughly seasoned before
it is used. When it is necessary to put in new
sills seasoned timber ought invariably to be
selected. A sill or sleeper that is perfectly
dry, if not placed too Eear the surface of the
ground will last much longer than stick of
the same size freshly cut and hewn. The
higher building sets above the surface the
longer the sills last Carpenters and other
observing men assert, that wood cut in the
shortest days Of winter, does not prove dura-
BILE as that cut in June Wood partially sea-
soned, is also preferable, in many respects tor
fuel, to that which is thoroughly dry 1t is a
mistake to suppose that the entire mass of fluid
contained in wood, is mere water Like the
blood of the human system it is compound
liquid, of which pure aqueous particles con-
stitute the base but in both cases chemistry
has developed the presence of numerous other
substances. In wood partially dry, the wa
ter is in great measure absent, and all that
is combustible, in the fluid is left in the pores

PREPARATION OF SEEDs.-Somc seeds are
so slow of termination that weeds grow in ad-
vance of them, and thus render their cultva-
tion more difficult. Many of these, such as
the carrot, parsuip, &e, may be buried in
bag in the soil a few days before use, and
thus swell materially, by the humidity and
other necessary conditions found in the soil,
before final use. This mode of treatment, in
many cases, will do away with the necessary
for sleeps, and render early termination quite
certain. Care should be taken not to have
them buried long enough to cause material
spronting, as the new sprout might be broken
OF or injured during planting.-Ohio Valley
