SETTING FEScE Pos1s w here it is necessary
to set wooden posts. it will be found that their
DURABILITY will be greatly promoted by slightly
charrng or caibonizing the surface before in
sorting them IN the soil There are lew cub
stances more iudcstructibe than charcoal when
buried beneath the surface and kept constantly
IN contact with the moist soil, or soil that is
constantly wet. We have seen posts thus pro-
tected, taken from the soil alter having stood
upwards OF thirty years, IN perfectly sound con

Commissioner NEwroN has issued his report
Tor the month just closed 1t relates chiefly to
farm stock. In the summary be states that
the average amounts consumed in gieat Britain
and Ireland ia about So 600 900 of bushels
more than produced The deficit of this year
will then make it about one-third greater, or
- 600 900 bushels II may, however. be much
greater. The immense corn crop Of this coun.
uy, now safely grown, will enable us to ship
largely Of wheat to foreign countries, although
TIE wheat crop has been injured fully as much
as eforted in the last monthly, and the quality
of the new crop Is not good IN many States
The amount Of old wheat will not be- as great
as Anticipated The buokwheAt and potato
otops may b. very large, but the danger Of tie
rut is 10 imminent to basa any calculations uf.
on the latter eror.

SIGNS or A Prosperous farmer. We cir
from an exchange the following appropriate OBJ.
servatIons on the eigns OF successful farmer
and we earnestly commend them to the consid-
Grafton Of every thoughtful reader
When lights are seen burning in his house
before the break of day, in winter especially, it
shows that the day will never break on the
breaking in OF the winter Of adversely.
When you see his barn larger than his house,
il shows that he will have large profits and small
affections.
When you see him drive his work instead Of
his work driving him, it shows that he will
never DO driven from good resolutions and that
he will certainly work bis way to prosperity.
When you zee in his house more lamps for
burning lard or grease than candesticks for
more expensive purposes, il shows that economy
if Lighting hls way to happiness and plenty,
with that light which should enlghten every
farmer IN the world.
When he has house separate from the main
building pufposely Tor ashes, and an iron or tin
vessel to transport them, it shows that he never
built his dwelling for funeral pile for his fam
lily, and perhaps himself.
" hen bis bog pen is boarded outside and in,
it shows that be is "eoing the whole hog or
none in keeping plenty inside bis house and
poverty out.
When his sled is safely housed in summer,
and bis farming Implements covered both winter
and summer 1t plainly shows that be will have
good house over his head in the summer Of
carly life, and the winter of old age,
When his cattle are properly shielded and
fed in winter it eyinces that he is acting accord
iuq to Scripture, which says that mercful
man is merciul to his beast"
When he is seen subscribing for newspaper
and paying for it in advance, it shows that he
IS speaking ike book respecting the latest
movements in agriculture, and that he will
never get his waking papers to The land Of
poverty.

BOILED BUTTER.-Our correspondent, whose
interesting series of articles entitled Il lan6fe
Farmer among The .4Ips We have prescnled from
time to time gives US some account OF The metz
cd of preparing boiled butter in Switzerland, n
article as every traveller in that picturesque coun-
Try knows, which neither becomes rarcid nor ever
assumes that nasty saltish taste not uncommon n
our cheaper snd poorer qualities OF butter, which
constitute, we are sorry to say very large pro-
portion of the stuff sold under the name Of but
ter in market. Would MT 1t be well for some
Of our readers to try the experiment and let US
know the result
Into clean vessel made of copper, or better
of tin, put any desired amount Of butter, say
from 20 to 80 lbs, and set it over gentle or
slow tire, so that it may melt slowly, graduating
the heat 80 that the melted butter shlII come 10
boil in not less than two hours on an average.
While this heat is going on, let it be stirred every
five or ten minutes 30 that the mass may be thor
oughly Mixed the top and bottom changing
places from time to time. When il comes to
boiling, keep it at slow boiling for couple oil
hours more, stirring from time TO time as before,
though not necessarily so frequently. Then take
the vessel from the fire and set it TO cool and set
tie, gradually. The cooling may be 90 gradua
as to to take two hours more. The melted mass
ia then while still little warm, poured into the
jar where it is to be kept.
In cooling there is cheesy sediment, which IS
palatabe and nutritious, and used an food but
which should be prevented from mixing with tn'
butter in the jar.
OF course the butter to be used should bC
sweet, but il it does not happen to be the Swis
use slice Of bread 10 it when melting which re-
moves the rancdty. Some use a very slight por
ton Of salt in the early stage Of boiling.
All agree that the butter so preserved will keel
for years perfectly good without any extra pre-
cautions being taken to keep it from the air, ant
without addition Of salt. We have often TASTED
butter so prepared many months after it was pu
down and found it without raint. 1t may l4ol
the delicate favor Of fresh butter but it will b.
far more pastable and heallhful than the ordinar,
qualities Of sated butter. 1t is used as an tricl
for cooking, not SO much with bread, with which
of course, fresh butter is preferred For cooking
it is preferred to new made butler. Won't some
body try it aud report Ploughmdn

ITE EUREKA TOMATO" Cosmo," the agri

The changing of the lazy lie-down tomato

theory correct. have got Just such tomato

than any other have seen, is more solid, con-
tans fewer seeds, the skin peals of read ly when

matoes are uniformly round, smooth and hand

all the large red tomatoes generally grown.

age, among winch the fruit hangs sngly, and
pen4ens ike apples, believe the fruit ripens
about ten days earlier than any other sort
know Of
My plan Of growing The plants early has been
to scoop out a good large turnip to shell, say
halt an inch thick, fill the cavity with rich soil
adding about tablespoonful Of fine charcoal
dust and teasEoonfu of fine salt to the soil in
each she'll mixing the material thoroughly, and
planting two or three tomato seeds in each tur-
zip she'll as early as the first Of March, place
the prepared shells in box of fine sandy loan
burying the turnps to within an inch or less o.
tho top, and set the box near the stove in The
kitchen, where it will DO exposed to pretty
even temperature, and water with soft, teplC
water about twice week. Every warm, sun
shiny day set the box out for the benefit Of th'
young plants, and as soon as all danger from
lrosts IL past, plant out the turnips with thu
tomato plants in them where you intend then
10 grow Leave only the strongest plant in esct
shell, plant them three feet apart in good, rel
soil, cultivate thoroughly, keep all weeds killed
Of, and you will have early tomatoes, very gooC
ones, and plenty Of them.
