oCoNsoIIDATIoN OF EXPRESS COMPANIES
Our neighbors of the Harnden Express are
about to leave us, SO says Mr.. Hill, the agent.
They have consolidated with the Southern
Elk press--owing to the drawing off of the
New Line Of Bay steamers. ~
We regret to make, this announcement;
but, if the interests of the Company will be
srbserved by consolidation, we say God
speed, and we trust that the. interests of the
community will not suffer blythe change. On
and after the lstof September, we learn that
the Harnden Company close their office, and
turn over their effects and good will to the
Southern, and all business formerly connected
with this Express, will be in future done
through the Southern Company, office 50
Church street, J. H. Rigney, Agent
When we consider the organization Of this
Company, we feel no doubt as to its success.
Underwood's Injunction is endorsement
enough to make it an institution. zen

yesterday evening fine looking seaman on

Confederate Navy during the late war. The
lberality of his sentiments might well fur

country He said, Il stood by the old flag
and fought against these gentlemen, but,
there te mentioned several names held in high

Agricultural,
Horse Stables.

II is a fault with most stables that they ere
built for men rather than for horses. We
wish To point out two common errors into
which no. a few builders are liable to fall In
constructing stables. especially these upon
farms. The first is IN having the doors and
upper floor 50 low as they generally are. On
account OF these low doors horses instinctIvely
learn to fear them, and they shy rear or
prance whenever led toward them. They are
alsV, among the most frequent cases of poll
EVIL. The horse, when passing through them
Is either uIprised by something 1t beholds,
outside the building, or checked by the voic.
or gesture OF the person leading him, when u ?
goes the head and crash comes the poll against
the beam of the doorway. violent brulse
often results therefrom, aud deepseated at
scess follows. Low hay floors also produce
the same trouble. The sudden eleva lion OF
the head IS, ii c1s h)-5;, exp ressive OF
very unexpected emotion. This effect il RAP
idly or al an Unsual hour. A sudden noise
will also cause the came upward motion of the
head With low stables an injury to the
horse is almost invaribly sure to follow.
Again, the easiest position in which the
horse can stand, is when the hind feet are the
highest portion of the body, or when the
flooring OF the stall slants in exactly the oppo
site direction to what it does In most stables
This Is the other error In constructing sta bles
20 which we alluded. Horses at liberty in
pasture invaribly stand, when az ease, with
their hind feet elevated somewhat. and it lie
almost a wonder that builders of stables have
notimproved upon this fact before, and adapt
ed floors TO the want of the horse. The
moisture from the horse, if the floor slanted
toward the forward feet, would help to keep
the forward feet moist, COOL and healthy,
whereas they are now generally bot, foil OF
ever, and require washing with cool soap
suds at least once a day, IN order to be kept
IN healthy condition. This is not ALL
Where the f)or slants back, the horse not
unfrequently attempts to case the heavy
strain upon the fexor tendons of the hind
legs By hanging blck on the halter. The prts-
sure upon the seat of the poll stops natural
circulation, and in time it develops isself into
d deep seated abscess- We should ike TO see
a stable in which the two errors IN building
we have pointed out did Eos occur.

Butter Making In DcvOnshtre.
(Fxtrast rom letter Of Cuthburt W. job nson
ark Lane

(Fxtrast from letter Of Cuthburt W. job nson 10
the Aark Lane Express"
Cows are MIXED twice day. morning
and evening, and the milk strained into the
milk-pans, which are generally made OF tin,
and should not be too deep, or the milk will
rot cool quickly. Early the next morning
soon as the fire has attained sufficient
heat, the milk is placed on the stove or steam
apparatus, to be scalded, beginning with the
previous mornings milk until all is scalded.
There should be from twelve to fifteen pints
In pan, ADD with proper heat 1t will take
from twenty minutes to half an hour to scald.
W hen t is sufficiently scalded you will see
the cream look rough, and ring or mark
will appear on the surface. just the size OF
the bottom of the pan. After scalding, the
milk is placed in the dairy to cool, and on the
following morning the cream is taken up from
each pan with q skinner. and placed IN a
large basin, where it remains until it Is re-
moved into the tub to be made into butter.
In the summer butter must be made every
day in the winter three times week will
be sufficient When you make butter you
IT ust pour off any clear or thin cream that
tn ere may be in the bottom of the basin, and
then put the thick cream into your butter
tub ; stir it with your hand or with a stick
round the tub, all one way, until it becomes
a very thick substance continue turning it
until you see milk coming from it, then pour
of the butreImilk, and wash well the butter
with cold spring water until there is no milk
lett IN 1t. and the water Is quite clear and
then add a little fine salt to make it a proper
saltness, wash it again, and continue working
it with the hand or stick, as may be, until
you cannot get drop Of water from it then
weigh the butter and make it up into pounds.
IL this plan is strictly followed your butter
cannot fail TO be excellent. In very hot
weather the mornings meal of milk must be
scalded In the afternoon, and the evening S
meal early the following morning to keep it
sweet The stick used In our dairy, and
which is preferable in every respect TO the
hand, is formed like small spud, with the
ha ndle about twelve inches long. When the
red earthenvare pans are ueed tor the milk il
takes nearly an hour to ecald each pan. We
consider tin pans preferable, for two reasons
first, economy OF time in the dairy work: ;
second the milk in hot weather is less likely
to turn sour when quickly scalded."

FEEDING BEEs.-Conib honey Is best. No
kind OF moiasses Is suitable, because they
viii rot cat it. A good substitute for honey
is made by dissolving any kind of sugar IN
just enough water 50 that when put into a
kettle and heated to the boiling point, and
scum taken of, it will be of the conslssen cy
Of strained honey when cool. This should
be poured from a pitcher upon empty combs,
filling the cells, and then placing the com b
where the bees will find 1t. On this plan
bees may be fed IN the winter season, in mild
weather, by placing the combs either be-
fore their hives, or within their supers, where
caps are placed for surplus honey, and rap
ping on the hives, to cause the bees to come

ONION GROUND.-In @ recent number Of
the Iowa Homestead e. a. s., OF Dubuque,
gives his practice IN he au'umnal preparation
Of the ground for onions. Prepare it IN the
iaIl by manrring and plowing, working It
till the soil is well mixed and commingling
it with the manure to the depth of eight OF
ten inches, Then roll or tramp the ground
hard, top-dressng it with ashes, and eave it
til. the ensuing season. When the frost is
in the spring, and the ground IS sufficiently
dry TO work, rake it over with an iron tooth
rake to the deph of three or four inches, and
put in the seed. This is all the spring prepa-
ration required. The most successful onion
grower ever saw managed pretty much in
this way, though the tai preparation vas omit
ted. Ire onion beds wee vel maDured aud
the ground stirred to &C Cd depth. 1t was
then r4ked over and tramped down c0mpactly.
~ onion planter, with TWO iron shovel teeth,
set apart The width Of the onion rows, and
handled Ike hoe, was drawn across the beds
and the seeds dropped in the burrows and COW
cred an inch deep or Whereabouts. The result
vas that me onions grew upon the top OF the
grouud-profuse in quantity and excellent in
quality. We should think the Iowa plan, of
TALL preparation OF the ground, improve
nent. L. is certainly worth trial.
