One moment LET my life blood stream
From boyhood fount Of fame
Give me ono Ciddy, recltning dream
Of life all love and fame.
My listning angel heard the prayer,
And, calmly smiling, said: -

Thy hasty wish hath sped.
"But is there nothing in thy track
TO bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished-for day

There are probably hundreds OF farmers who
were born and brought up on rocky farms,
who think there is some peculiar art, or mystic
ry, ID blasting a stone, and who have never ia
ken hammer and drill in hand and attempted to
do it,
We have occasionally seen an ugly rock in
the door-yard, or in SONS road leading from the
barn to the fields, where the stock have STUN
bled over il for century, and wheels enough
have been wrenched aud axles enough sprung
to pay for blasting it out ten times over And
yet tho nuisance remains there, and will con-
tinue to until the property passes out of the
family.
SO we have often seen a lair field with SIN
gle rock in it, of most inconvenent size and
shape, and lying in the very spot TO mako IL
the most dangerous aud troublesome. a pillow
has been twisted against it, u horse rake broken
three times upon it, and the cattle have barked
their shins about as often as they have been
driven near 1t. And the rock remains there yet !
There is no mystery in blasting a rock. 1t
requires a good hammer and good drills, IN order
to do the work comfortably and well. The
hammer should BIO of proper weight, evenly
balanced and the handle just of that shape to
be grasped without cramplng the hand.
The drills should be OF the best OF STEEL and
! their cutting parts hammered out somewhat
: wider than the body Of the drill If this is no!
done there will be no ROOM to turn and work il
:. after each blow The drills ought always to bs

The common error in blasting is not drilling

TnE WAY TnRY MAKE BUTTER IN FRANCE. 1t
is well known that cream may be converted into
butter by simply being buried in the ground
but it is not generally known that this mode is
in common use in Normandy and some other
parts France. Theprocess is as follows 1.-THE
cream is placed in linen bag of moderate thick
ness, which 10 carefully secured aud placed in a
hole in che ground, about foot and hall deep I;
it Is then covered and left for "a or % hours
When taken out, the cream is very hard and
only requires beating for o short time with a
wooden mallet, after which half glass of water
is thrown upon it, which causes the butter milk
to separate IRON the butter. IL the quantity of
cream to be converted into butter is large, It is
left more than 25 hours in the ground. la win.
ter, when the ground is frozen, the operation is
performed in "a cellar, the bag being we'll covered
up with sand. Some persons place the bag
containing the cream within second bag, in
order to prevent the chance of any faint from
the earth. This system saves labor, and is stated
to produce larger amount Of butter than churn.

The WAY TO BUILD A STACK.-There is much
more science involved in building a stack OF either
hay, loose grain or bundles, ia a correct manner,
than there is in erecting pyramid that will stand
the test of wasting and raging elements Of time
and changing weather.
The main point is to build stack so as to turn
all the rain off the stack, instead of turning it
towards the middle of the stack, where it would
produce more or less damage.
Beginners will almost always commence at the
circumference instead Of the middle II stack
is to be made Of bundles or of loose materials it
should always be commenced in the middle. And
the middle should always be kept fuest-from
one to two feet higher than the outside, and well
pressed down. The middle should always be trod
down more closely than the outside. so that when
the stack comes to settle, the outside will settle
more than the middle, and thus tend to give a
good inclination to the straw on the outside, and
will carry off the water readily.
II is better to make round stacks than those
having square corners, because such square corners
will never settle down evenly with the Sides and
they will not carry off the rain as well as il the
top were round.
As soon as the stack is built as high as the bilge
care must ue tAeitlstu W give iuulS lhNlhhtlOi
to the sheaves, by keeping the middle fuller anC
the sheaves must be crowded as closely togethe
as they can be, to keep the water from 6liinI
down on to the course Of sheaves below.
When stacks are built of loose materials tn
stacker must be careful to place as many of tn
straight punches of straw up and down the STAG
on the outer course, as he can conveniently
These long straws will turn of the water almo'
as well as board.

PRINTING PAPER MADE FROM BAMBoo.-The Al
bany Jour nal and New York Tribune are now
printed on paper made from bamboo. The BAN.
boo is brought from Jamaica, where it is pro-
duced in unlimited abundance, and costs deliv-
cred here, from ten to twelve dollars per cord
1t is cut into five feet lengths, conveyed to the
mandatory, where it is soaked in warm water
for time it is then put in steam guns of the
form of ordinary cannon, where it is thoroughly
saturated with steam and then exploded, under
an immence pressure, which tears it into fibres
When thus sorn it is boiled under pressure Of
60 lbs to the inch, and from thence blown into
a receiving tank. 1t is then perfect pulp, ready
to be made into paper.
