CREAM CHEESE.

Put quart of cream into clean
jug, with halfa teaspoonful of salt stirred
in, and let it stand a day or two till
thickish. Then fold an ordinary grass
cloth about six or eight times, and sprin-
kle it with salt, then lay il in sieve
about eight inches in diameter. The
sides of the cloth should come up well
over the sides. Then pour in the cream
y! -! ~ n. 81 til rs +
often as it becomes moist, and as the
cheese dries press it with the cloth and
sieve. In about week or nine days it
will be prime and fit to eat. The air
alone suffices to turn the cream into
cheese.
2.-Take about half pint of cream,
tie it up in piece of thin muslin
and suspend it in cool place. After
five or six days take it out of the muslin
and put it in between two plates, with
small weight on the upper one. This
will make it good shape for the table,
and also help to ripen the cheese, which
will be fit for use in about eight days
from the commencement of the making.
Stake a quart of cream, either fresh
or sour, mix about tablespoonful of
salt, and the same quantity of sugar.
Put il in a cloth with net outside,
hang it up and change the cloth every
other day; in ten days it will be fit for
use.

WEED SEEDS.

Many farmers hesitate to put weeds
in the manure heap, because the seeds
grow and become troublesome; but if
fermentation is encouraged, as it should
be, vitality is destroyed. Seeds of weeds
that have undergone any fermentation
will never terminate. Some on the out
side of heap may mott get exposed to the
fermentation in the interior, and such of
course may grow; but this only shows
that the head should be turned over oc.
casionally to destroy them; and as this
tlrning over is benefit to the manure
any how, it may be an argument in ia
vor of the use of weeds, that they will
compel one to do what should be done
in any event.-[X.

FLOWING WITHOUT DEAD FUR
ROWS AT CORNERS.

A correspondent in the Western Rural
gives the following as his plan of plow-
ing to avoid dead burrows: "If you wish
to pillow land ten rods wide, instead of
striking out land that width, take one
half width, pace off five rods from the
end and set in your pillow, and pillow
within five rods of the other end and
stop now back-furrow as usual the re-
quired width and then turn square cor
ner at the end, observing to have the
end furrow on parallel line with
the outside. By this means you will al
ways turn round on the stubble, thus
leaving the land untrodden, and instead
of dead burrows at the corners, you will
have ridges"

CULTURE OF SMALL FRUITS.

A correspondent of the New York
Fruit Growers Club lately asked the
following questions:
l. VIII it do to continue picking back
the young shoots all through the grow
ing season until frost, or should we stop
in the fall If so, at what time? How
long will blackberry and raspberry
plantations last? / understand that
some growers recommend taking up the
old plants every four or five years, and
setting out new plants in their place
8. have seen it recommended to plough
or furrow up to the plants in the fall.
Now should the soil be left there during
the next summer or taken away?
To these questions Mr.. A. S. Fuller
replied as follows:
l. 1t is difficult to give directions that
will suit all localities and soils. In re-
gard to pinching back the young canes
of raspberries, my practice is to pinch
black berries but once or twice in the sea
son according to the strength of the
plants, and then only the cane is check

their whole length, and prune them
back in winter or early in the spring.
usually commence pinching off the mair
cane in July, and if the upper buds star
and grow too strong, check them again
in August, but never later than thu
first of September. Late summer pinch
ing or pruning is always injurious
particularly if the plants are growing
very vigorously, because they are yer.
likely to produce new shoots which viii
, be killed by frost. Besides this th
fruit buds which al relied upon for tn
next seasons crop, will sometimes star

CULTIVATE YOUR FENCE CORNERS.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says that he knows first
class farmer who cultivated his fence
corners, or rather land which the plow
would not reach along the fences, in
grass and he found that the product
met all the expenses, and his fields suf-
fered very little from weeds. Fence COR
ners are generally nurseries for weeds,
which can now be destroyed with profit.
