WHEN TO Skim MILK.-A Country
woman writing to the Rural New Yorker,
SAYS that the right time to skim milk is
just as the milk begins to sour IN the bottom Of
the pans. Then the cream is all at the surface,
and should at once be removed, with as lille
of the milk as possible. If allowed to remain
until the acid reaches the cream, or to become
thick, it diminshes the cream, and impairs it in
quantity. That housewife, or dairymaid, who
thinks to obtain a greater quantity by allow
ing the milk to stand beyond that time, abors
under Almost egregious mistake. Any one
who doubts this, has only to try it to prove the
truth of this assertion. Milk should be looked
to at least three times day"

The PoULTRY YARD.-H G. Palmer, in the
Boston Cultvator, discusses the question of
poultry as follows "rhe question of the
proftableness of poultry keeping must ncces-
sarily depend upon a variety of circumstances
which cannot be alike in two localities. For
instance with all the convenience for keeping
a good market near by for the sale of super
fuous stock, can almost invariably make
good profit, if the birds kept are of the quail
ty that will secure ready sale at good prices.
Another person with equal care, but living at
great distance from market, may at the same
ume make losing business of it. BUT all
does not depend upon the market; as a gener-
al thing, the care bestowed upon the fowls
tells the story. Ii they are but slightly taken
care of, you must expect, as a general thing,
but slightly remunerative returns. Care is
necessary in connection with poultry raising,
as with any other branch of farming. Give
your poultry good comfortable apartments, both
in winter and in summer, good food and
enough Of it, and you embrace the cardinal
points OF profitable poultry.yard On
the contrary, stint your fowls as to
food, and allow them no apartments calcua-
ted for their comfort and good health, and
your verdict is already sealed as poul-
try-raiser you fail through your own
negligence. Give your hens, in connec-
ton with what grain they can eat other
food, such as oyster shells pounded fine,
gravel, bones, and meat Keep food Of
this sort before them invariably, and twill en-
nance very much the productvcness OF your
fowls by having at all times a supply Of such
kind OF food placed before them, they are not
as apt to commit those depredations upon the
vegetable garden, so much to the annoyance
OF the farmer or gardener. Therefore you re-
celye double pay for your care in this quarter.
Many Il New England farm ard will nrpsrnt
TO your view, if passed near sunset. the dis
tasteful scene OF some iavorite tree covered
with the poultry connected with the farm.
The owner of these fowls will tell you that
ponltry'raising is Improbable, for if he ne.
elects to provide for them good building for
their comfort, it is impossible for them to be a
source OF any profit but on the contrary, ask
the man who studies the comfort of his fowls
with regard To their proiimbleness, and he will
Don demonstrate to you that with ordinary care
armers will find fowls to be profitable stock.

Others remaining dormant-the eyes obtaining
the first start appearing to have exhausted the
nutriment in the potato before those slower IN
growing had got ready to claim their share
The same potato cut in two, three, or even
four pieces, would give about the same num-
Der Of shoots to each set, though the smaller
the sets the weaker were the shoots. 10
these rules there were some exceptions, tor oc-
casionally most of the eyes in a whole potato
would commence growth about the same time,
and good many small shoots would be the
result, while sometimes very small set would
give one or two strong shoots.

tending to be seeking the release Of some near
and dear relative, ard thus fraudulentfy abusing
the generosity and Kindness Of antrslavery meu
aud women; and as many an impostor Of this Kind
has had to 10 exposed In the past, SO many more
may be looked for 10 tho future, This shows til,
ne'd OF the utmost%c caution, on the part of the hu.
name, in examining. and especially in authenticat
ing the documents in the possession Of those osk
ing Tor assistance to redeem father or mother, hus
band or wife, parent or child, from bondage.
To tho charge, that Mr.. Garrison and the lik o
give no money, but only plenty Of sympathy il
the cases described, we reply
l. 1t does not follow that evory one, pretending
to 6e seeking the freedom of lis mother and sis
tcrs,' is worthy Of credit or aid; and of this W.
claim to be as com petent to judge, rs those wht
lose no opportunity to inpench the sincerity ant
libel the character Of Abolitionists. We have re
fused giving our money and also our sympathy,
70 various instances, where we saw nothing tC
inspire confidence, either in the person soliciting
Or in the object professedly aimed at; and we shal
10 SO again, even at the risk Of being sueered al
as hypocriiical in our anti slavery profession.
Q. IL is not true. Mr.. Garrison and the like
have not only responded to multitudes Of cases oil
this kind, but they have often allowed their sym.
pathy'to carry them too far 10 that direction, tc
the Gripping Of their pecuniary ability to aid the
anti slavery cause, which aims to overturn the
entire slave system, and liberAte four millions oil
slaves OF a blow.
3. Tie object of Mr.. Garrison and tho like is
not the buying up Of Southern slave population,
either in the mass or in detail. We deny the right
of the stakeholder to any compensation whatever.
As n matter of consistency, it is for those who
recognize that right, and who pretend to be the
friends of the colored race. to give libera'ly to mp.
pIicants, seeking the means to redeem themselves
or others from bondage, but they seldom do Guy
thing of the kind.
4. Tho purchase Of individual slaves does moth
ing towards abolishing slavery. 1t is a serious
question, whether it does not tend to prune the
poison-troe, to invigorate the foul system, and
thereby retard the cause of emancipation; especial
ly at the present time, when the foreign slave traf-
fc is in full operation, and importations are daily
increasing at the south. A stakeholder who sells
one slave at the Forth for u thousand or fifteen
hundred dollars, has thereby the means put into
his hands, and will be very likely to use them, to
purchase half a dozen newly imported victims
from Africa!
5. If the hundreds Of thousands Of dollars that
have been contributed at the North to ransom in
dividual slaves, had been given directly in aid of
she great moral struggle going on for the utter
extinction of the slave system, the number of
slaves redeemed would have been incomparably
greater, and that system would now be just ready
to fall LiJerator.

Last evening We attended q meeting in the

have the pleasure Of making an honorable excep-

told him | wished to call the attention of the peo.
pie to the abolition e slavery. We fully concur
red in the ~propriety Of that, and after touching me
gently upon tho righteousness Of indiscriminato
criticism of the Church and the Republican patty,
cordially referred me to gentlemen Of influence in
the neighborhood, aud said as | left, i will be there

The meeting, though with a limited notice, was
very respectable in numbers, and attentive with
intelligence. MIR. Smith followed my remarks,
with hearty approval of the condemnation of Sla-
very, the exhibition of its power and resources, and
the business of my criticism upon the alarming
alathy Of the Church and Ministry on the subject,
aud could only differ with me in this, that althoug
the Republican platform did not cover the ground
in favor of the abolition Of slavery that he desired,
and did seem to afford some hope to the SIavebold-
der, he thought the change. on the whole, greatly
in favor Of freedom, aud must therefore, and hon
