Peril of a Revivalist.

An anecdote is told of Fenny, the "revival-
ist," and a canaler, to the following effect
He was .'holding FORTH IN Rochester, and in
walking along the canal one day, he came
across boatman who was swearing furiously.
Marching up, he confronted him and abrupt iy
asked:
"Sr, do you know where you are going7"
The unsuspecting man innocently replied
that he was going up the canal on the boat
Johnny Sands.
S"No, sir, you are going to hell faster than a
canal boat will carry you"
The boatman looked at him in establishment
for minute, and then returned the same ques-
ton.
"Sir, DO you know where you are going7"
81 expect to 60 to Heaven"
ono, sir, you are going into the canal!'
And suitiDg the action to the word, he took
Fenny in his arms and tossed him into the
murky waters, where he would have drowned
had not the boatman relented and fshed him
out.

A Word on Making Butter.

The amount of the butter crop of the United
States, is estimated at G5 600 600 of dollars
The value of this article might be greatly on
HANGED by stricter attention to its manufacture.
No produce of the farm is So liable to deprcci-
alton as this.
1t is said that at the present time, scarcely
one firkiu in four opens perfectly sweet. This
deterioration arises not from any real chemical
Or practical difficulty, but solely from want of
knowledge or want Of care in making it.
There is one ESSENTIAL in butter making,
namely: the thorough removal of the butter
milk. To accomplish this. some recommend
two or three wastings of the butter in cold wa
ter, till the water brings away no butter milk +,
whilst Others rely upon thorough workings
Bnt whatever method is used, the removal Of
the butter milk is sine qua non.
As the milk is warm in the process of churn
ing, the first requisite of the butter on being
removed is to be cooled. A small amount Of
salt may be worked in with as little stirring as
possible, and then it should be placed where it
will cool rapidly. After few hours it is work.
ed, adding as much salt as may be needed to
prepare it for market. Care should be taken
that the salt is pure and good. A little more
than an ounce per pound is sufficient. Five or
six hours afte., the butter is TO be worked
again: the manner Of working being to press
with ladle or butter-scoop, not to cut it
through nor spat it, the most common method
and the poorest of all.
For keeping for family use, stone jars are
unquestionably the best. For packing for
market, new tub should never be used till it
is thoroughly saturated with brine. Cover the
bottom of the tub with thin sprinkling of salt,
and pack solid; and, placing cloth cover over
the top, sprinkIing on a thick layer of salt,
pouring on gill Of water to form an air-tight
covering of brine. When it is to be sent for.
ward to market, the brine should be poured of
and a new coating of salt laid on.

Blind staggers in Hogs.

The symptoms are: one or both ears hang.
ing loosely, head turned to one side, so that the
animal cannot walk straight; and if very hard
they will walk in a circle until very weak they
will fall and die. A majority of writers on the
diseases of hogs consider the cause to be an
excess of blood on the brain, and prescribe
bleeding back of the ears and Physic. 1t is not
at all improbable, however, that it is caused by
hydatids on the brains, (hydatids are parasitic
animals found in nearly all the cavities of the
body) The disease is difficult to cure, and
when apparently cured, is liable to appear again
in few months. The proper remedy is pre-
ventive; that is, keep the hogs on such food as
is wholesome, and give them healthy apart
ments. The usual way of keeping them in
cold, damp and filthy places, and allowing them
to eat all kinds of otfal, is sufficient to cause
staggers, as we'll as numerous other diseases.

When to Pick Apples and Pears.

Most people let apples and pears become too
ripe before they gather them. They want to
see them fully ripe-ready to fall off the tree
before they pick them. This is wrong. If
picked few days before maturity, they will
keep longer, color more highly and command a
higher price in market. The precise time to
pick is rather difficult to determine The best
criterion is to raise the fruit up, and bend the
stem over, and if the stem parts from the shoot
without breaking, the fruit is ready to pick
whether apples or pears. Pesrs should be pick
ed proportionally earlier than apples. The
quality of the fruit is also improved BY early
gathering. After being picked, il should be put
in tight boxes or barrels, and kept few days in
the dark, if Of summer or fall varieties. Here
they undergo sweating process, and when
the barrel is opened, the fruit will be found of
the brightest crimson and richest golden colors.
Half OF the secret of success in orcharding, is
in knowing how and when to pick fruit, and how
70 get it to market SO as to command the high
est price and readiest sales. Every ones ex-
perience must govern him, and the more he
studies this matter the more expert he will be-
come. We are anxious all our readers should
think while they work-that the mind should
be exercised as well as the muscle in all farm
operations, and particularly should this be the
case in fruit growing, where skill of the highest
order will always be suitably rewarded.

Abolition Of Fences.

The abolition of fences in now being agita-
ted among farmers, and there seems to be no
insurmountable obstacles to such a reform in
many districts. 1t is estimated that the fences
of the country constitute as much as half the
value of the farms, and these have to be con-
tinually renewed. By having strictly executed
laws against stock running at large, all fences,
except such as surround pastures and stock
yards, may be dispensed with. Besides the
saving in money, the room occupied by the
fences is also save. and the chief harbor for
weeds is done away with. A communication
was recently read in tth New York Farmers
Club from Livingston County, in Illinois, say
ing in that County the plan is in successful
operation, the general practice of farmers be-
ing to dispense with fences. Scion Robinson
states that he was informed on good authority
that the unfenced lands in that County are
quite as highin price as the fenced farms OF
other Counties. showing that this simple regula.
ton will save the great expense of fencing the
Western prairies. Mr.. Ely, the President, re-
marked that the same system is in operation
in the valley of the Connecticut River, both in
Cenneetieut and Massachusetts,.

Heart Disease and Tobacco.

NJ. Decaisne, in communication to the
Academic des Sciences, exhibits another clause
in the heavy bill ofindictment against the abuse
of tobacco. He states, that in the course Of
three years he has met, among eighty-th
inveterate smokers, twenty-one instances Of
marked intermittence of the pulse, occurring
in men from 81 to AZ years of age, and not to
be explained by organic lesion of the heart
The absence of such lesion or other conditions
of health capable ofinducing intermision of the
action of the heart, and the fact that in nine of
these instances, in which the use of tobacco
was abandoned, the normal action of the sys.
TEN was restored, M. Decaisne believes, will
justify him in concluding that in certain subjects
the abuse of tobacco may give rise to condi-
ton which may be termed "narcotism of the
heart" characterized by intermission in the
movements of the organ and in the pulsations
of the radial artery; and that, in some cases,
a suspension or diminution in the practice Of
smoking is sufficient to cause any entire disap
pearance ofthis irreguarity.

Collie and Inflammation Of the bowels are two

with the charcoal internally, and brisk friction

a spoon full of powdered cinnamon may be
given. Ginger tea is also useful.

cut hay and straw wet with water, sprInkled
with ont and Indian corn meal, at least twelve
quarts, besides some roots daily; let them have
clean water as often as they are fed. and not
require them to drink that which is impure, or
stagnant; give them at least two hours after
feeding to chew their cud and rest, and thew

increase in flesh at the same time, and will
usually be found to be more convenient for
many purposes than horses. Let it be reitera-
ted that it is not the hard labor that oxen per-
form that e1hausts their energies. Oxen were
made for hard work: and if treated kindly
and carefully, they will labor hard every day,
and still grow fat. But when fed stinted allow

much one drinks-indeed, the more he takes,
the less thirsty be is likely to be the next day;
for this reason, the Bedouins, following the e1-
