PURE BUTTER.

The fresh sweet pasture of June. furn-
ishing that abundance of succulent feed
which new mich cows need to give rich
milk In abundance, make this month pre-
eminently the butter month. We present
herewith the views of good butter maker
expressed IN communication by H. A.
H., which has lain for some time ON our
table: L am very particular about thor
oughiy scaldlng and summing my pans In hot
weather; do not ill them more than half
full, and skim after the milk thickels sufh-
ciently SO that the cream viii come off
smooth without taking any milk with it,
which, l think, is apt TO make curdle in the
butter, and that Injuries the looks OF it.
ChurnTng should be done every day, if suf-
ticient cream should be obtained If not
the cream in the pot should be thoroughly
stirred whenever any Is added, and | add
little salt, which certainly is not a bad idea.
| design, when churn to have the cream
the right temperature, neither too warm nor
too cold, so a. to avoid adding any warm or
cold water, and as soon as IL Is gathered [
take it out and wash it in cold water until
it Is thoroughly freed from the butterniilk
salt II to my taste, and set 1t in a cool place
until the next morning, when | work it over
until it presents firm and uniform appear
ance. Last summer | worked my butter
three times before packing. At the last
working ] add small quantity more Of salt
After packing 1t smoothly | sprinkle ia
ble-spoonful Of loaf sugar and little salt
over the top between every layer, and ap-
ply on the top of that a cloth pressed down
closely to keep the air from it during the
time that must intervene before the pack
ing of the next layer After the jar or fir
kin IS well filed, put the cloth on the top
and apply another thicker one. and filed up
with salt packed tightls, and even with the
top Of the jar then laying on another
cloth to fit the top. | also put another one
over the jar and have it come over the edge
and paste it tight to the jar, then put on a
board and weight Or anyother way:
Instead of putting in salt | take melted but
ter and turn in on the thin cloth even full,
and lastly. apply salt sprinkled over the top
before putting on the last cloth and weight.
Then again, have had butter kept well az
ter packing thoroughly as | have stated,
to ill up the jar with strong brine,
which should stand two inches deep on the
top without being filed up with butter, and
it is necessary to put 2 little saltpetre in the
brine. Any one. whether he has very
good place 10 keep butter or not, if he at
tend TO the strict observance OF these rules,
can have good butter-and keep it for months,
and that through the hottest weather. -

Something About the Hair.

How many hairs on your head! The num-
Der varies with different persons; the aver
age Is statel on good authority to be 293
hairs TO every quarter Of square inch;
from this each can calculate somewhere near
the sum of his own. Flaxen hairs are fin
est, brown and red next, and black the coars-
est. 4 space containing I4I black would be
occupied by l62 brown, or lS2 tiaxen. Each
hair springs from q root imbedded in the
skin. The outside Is composed of horny
scales Overlapping each other like shingles on
roof, though not with the same regularity,
and these scales form a tube enclosing a mar
rowy pith The hair Of different races of
men, varies In structure as well as IN
color: thus that of the negro may be Jeited,
that Is, formed into solid compact mass
like cloth. The property Is owing 10 the
prominence of the scales composing II.
Straight hair Is nearly round, curly hair Is
more hattened, the most SO In the negro,
whose hairs are nearly fat ribbons The diff
ferent colors depend on minute particles Of
coloring matter within the hair; age, sick
ness, severe mental exercise, or sudden fright
may destroy the colorine matter, and cause
the hair 10 turn gray. in animals having
'-whlskers, as the cat, tiger, rat, etc, the
hairs are applied with nerves, which render
them very delicate ''feelers, by which they
are aided in stealing on their prey. In pas
sing through narrow spaces, these give no.
tice if the opening Is not large enough to ad-
NIT the animals body. In some forms of
disease the human Lair becomes extremely
sensitive at the root, and liable TO bleed.
Frequent cutting causes 1t to grow coarser,
but not more thickly and those who desire
to retain soft silky boards should not shave
at ali. Oils. pomades, and such prepara-
tious clog the pores of the scalp and prevent
the healthy growth of the hair washing

dition Human hair Is an important article
of trade; tons of 1t being sold every year.
In large districts Of Europe the peasant girls
are shorn Of their locks annually. receiving
from two to twenty dollars each Tor the crop.
Most of this Is used by those who cannot
grow enough of their own. some of it for
making jewelry and other ornaments.

To RkmoVe Flies From Rooms.

Now that hot weather approaches, the
following method of trapping flies, as prac-
ticed and endorsed by correspondent Of
the Irish agricultural Gazette, Will be found
useful: A hand glass. commonly used by
gardeners "a square one Is the best,) is the
instrument 10 be used This has 10 be tight.
IL covered at the bottom with thick white
paper 4 circular hole. 64 inches in diane
ter, Is then cut in the center of the paper,
and glass is placed on three bricks over
plate filed with beer. sugar and little rum.
a moderate distance from the affected spot
The effect is magical; in a few hours the
glass is crammed with flies. which, having
tasted the sweets, fly upward to the light.
4 common sulphur match, made by dip
ping brown paper into melted birthstone,
viii destroy thousands. The constant hum
of insect life viii attract all TO the glass. and
the scent of the rum is sure 20 induce the
most fastidious wasp as no insect can resist
its powerful attraction. This is stated to be
effectual in alluring hornets and wasps from
fruit trees, though We imagine it would
take large glass TO hold all We have seen in
some neighborhoods. -

SaturdaV Evening.

How many kiss has been given-how
many caress-how many look of hate
how many kind word-how many prom
ise has been broken-how many q heart has
been wrecked-how many soul lost-how
many loved one lowered to the narrow
chamber-how many babe has gone forth
from earth to heaven-how many little
crib or cradle stands silent now, which last
Saturday night held the rarest of the treas
ures OF the heart 4 week Is history A
week makes events of sorrow or Of gladnesS,
which people never heed. Go home, you
heart-erring wa.lderer Go home TO the cheer
that awaits you, wronged waits on earth S
pillows. GO home to your family, man Of
business. Go home to those you love, man
Of toll and give one night 10 the joys and
comforts fast flying by. Leave your books
with complex fgures-leave everything
your dirty sbop-your business store. Rest
with those you love; for God alone knows
what next Saturday night may bring them.
Forget the world of care and battles with
which life furrowed the week Draw close
around the family hearth. Saturday night
has awaited your coming with sadness, in
tears and silence GO home to those you
love, and as you bask in the loved presence,
and meet TO return the embrace of your
hearts pets, strive to be better man. and
to bless God for giving His weary children
so dear a stepping-stone in the river to the
