To Keep the Cream.

STONE jars are sweeter for cream, in
our estimation, than tin ones. When the
first skimming of cream is deposited, add
one teaspoonful of salt and one heaping
teaspoonful of saltpeter. At every fresh
skimming, mix the whole contents of the
jar thoroughly, taking care that no par.
ticles shall collect around the edges. A
clean cloth should be used every morning
to wipe the inside perfectly dry down TO
the cream.
Half of the cream is spoiled before it
is made into butter by neglecting this
precautiOn. The saltpeter prevents any
tendency to mold or bitterness. We con-
suited the highest chemical authority in
the State as to its properties, aud were
assured that teaspoonful in six quarts of
cream could not be in the least degree IL
judicious. 1t makes no difference in the
taste of the buttermilk, which is used for
many culinary purposes and drank by
several members of.the family, but it does
improve the sweetness and purity of the
butter. Small stone jars are preferable
to large ones. They can be kept in the
ice-house when filled, and if one skim
ming filled a jar, we should think it better
to use small one.
When the jar is cleaned, a tablespoonful
of saleratus is added to the warm suds,
and sweetens itperfectly. A cheesy smell
about milk utensils is utterly fatal to
sweet butter.-An9sricdn AgTiculturist.

Implacabiiiiy OF the Kentucky De.
mOcracy.

The reader will recall the story of
Dame Partington who, when the tide rose
and inundated the house, undertook TO
keep out the ocean with her mop. The
old lady worked with great industry, but
the Atlantic was too much for her. She
was compelled, in the end, TO subside, and
"give it up"
The Democratic party in Kentucky has
embarked in the same kind of io6 that
overpowered Dame Partington. They
built their shanty on the sand bank of
slavery, but the rising tide of freedom and
equality has flooded back into the
wretched hovel, and the whole organiza-
ton has set to work with white Mans
party mop, to sweep back the waves Of
human progress. They are doing their
best. There is a great splash and spat.
tering, but the tide ever rolls inward, and
the great ocean of liberty outside shows
the utter feebleness and futility of the eff.
fort. While they are vigorously mop
ping, the sand-bank is melting away, and
the whole structure will speedily cave in,
or be carried out to sea, and engulfed be-
yond the hope OF recovery. That tide is
resistless.
The Kentucky Democracy have set up
as their platform the repeal of the Fiji
teenth Amendment, and the restoration of
slavery to all intents and purposes. They
propose to fight it ont on that line. SO
supreme piece of absurdity has alarmed
all the outside press of the organization,
whose editors know anything, and the
entreaties for change OF programme are
among the most comical productions of
the times. 1t is boldly proclaimed that
the real purpose should have been kept
secret, and that the true plan of the cam
paign would haze been to raise new and
false side issues; then, having run on
them, assume that the people had decided
against manhood suffrage, and proceed to
abolish 1t. The great error of exposing
their hand at so early date is very clearly
and forcibly set forth by the Louisville
Courier Journal Cincinnati KnQuirey,
and other papers of that class. But the
old line regulars, who make voting for
Jackson an annual test of fealty, do not
see the point. They love the old order of
things, and it is quite past their compre.
hension why they should be compelled to
vote for free trade, as measure of restor-
ing chattel slavery. They cannot under
stand the relation of the two things,
and some OF them blurt their thought
right out, terribly to the disgust of the
more sagacious leaders. Quite contest
has grown up in the ranks upon the oues-
tion of substituting policy for honesty (;
but the great mass of the party are evi-
IDENTIFY determined to stick to the White
Man issue. This will insure a Republi-

the trees remain thus till the latter part
OF the summer or early In the fall, when
they may be cut down. Some of the trees
will die previous TO cutting, others will
remain green throughout the summer,
But whether alive or dead when cut, you
will rarely If ever see stalk from the old

A MAN in Wheeling recently drank;frec-
~ OF ice water at dinner, and was soon
after seized with cramp and died. Several
other instances are announced of death
from the same cause. The habit of gulp-
ing down large quantities of ice-water Is
one of the most pernicious into which
the heated season leads men. If they
escape death, they are sure to iniure the
stomach and shock the system to danger
GUS degree. But the chief danger Is In
sudden and rapid drinking. Large uHan-
titles OF ice water may be taken If the
drinking is done gradually. The safe
way would be TO take sip at a time.
There is positive and serious danger to
the most robust person in rapidly drink
ing more than half tumbler full of ice
water, or very cold water DR.. Hall tells
of robust soldier who reached spring

Mood Ashes.

MANY farmers are in the habit of selling
the wood ashes that they make to soap
makers for fifteen to twenty cents per
bushel. Our advice is, thst the next time
an ash-cart comes along, the driver ex.
claiming, "Any ashes to sellY" to reply.
Nc" "tempbatically; "you needn't call
here again. we are not such fools as to
sell ashes at fifteen cents bushel, when
they are worth fifty cents bushel to u.s."
Wen, they are worth fifty cents q
bushel to any farmer, If they are pure
wood ashes. Coal ashes are not worth
the carting to the field. The chemical
constituents of wood ashes are silica,
alumina, oxide of iron, oxide of man
ganese, potash, soda, sulphuric acid, phos-
phoric acid, chloride, and carbonic acid.
These constituents are all essential to
the growth of vegetation but potash,
the principal constituent, is the most i'm

EARN AND HOUSEHOLD
Canning FrnIt.

LIKE many others, tried, again and
again, to seal fruit cans 80 rs TO keep the
fruit without 'molding upon the top. I
was particular In following the printed di-
rections In general use, but found that my
cans, when cold, would not be more than
two thirds full, and in few days white
mold appeared on the top. i finally ap.
pealed to friend who, knew, canned
large quantities for her own use. She
showed me fruit over year old, quite
fresh, the cans full, and no mold. / at
once adopted her plan, which have since
followed with great success.
Fruit can be kept just as well without,
as with, sugar and those sealed up for
pies are better without any, as they will
retain their flavor far better. Brass Kettles
should never be used. Tin pans or kettles
lined with porcelain, 80 as to preserve
the most perfect flavor of the fruit, are
the best. While my fruit is being scalded,
put gill of cold water in each can, and
fill up with hot water, putting the covers
and rubber also into hot water. The fruit
need not be cooked-only heated to the
boiling point-unless in preparing pears
and ounces, or some other hard fruits,
that may require more cooking, and then
only just so that q straw may be passed
through, always being careful TO have
juice enough to cover the fruit. As soon
as boiling hot, empty can and fill; then
another, or as many as can well be at
tended to. Let the cans stand open until
! you can comfortably bear the hands upon
them. Meanwhile more fruit. may be
| heated.
Cut thick writing paper in round pieces
! the size of the top of each can, and when
] the contents of the cans are cooled, slip a
! piece over the top of the fruit in each
can, and at once fill up on top of the pa
per with boiling juice (saved for the pur-
pose), and put on the covers as soon as
filled, according to the directions given.
] often seal up cherries and tomatoes,
only for winter use, in one gallon stone
jars that are small at the top, prepared
just the same as for glass. Leave off the
covers, seal with melted resin, adding a
little tallow. Try it on piece of cloth
If too brittle add more talloW, and eic,
0erSG. Cut q paper also for the top of the
jar, Just 30 it will come over the edge
and dip piece of thick cloth into the
resin, only upon one side, spread over the
jar and tie down; now, with SPOON din
and spread on the hot resin until entirely
covered, pressing down the sides with the
hands dipped in cold water. When cold
If the jar is air tight, the cover will be de-
pressed a quarter of an inch or more. But
If 1t is level, then you will have to seal il
over again. Those who can common aoul
cherries will find them greatly improved
by draining of all the juice and then GOV
ering them with water-scald and drair
of, and cover over again for sealing, can,

Be on Your Guard,

The unexampled euccess which for twenty ars
has accompanied the use Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters provokes the envy Of ignorant nostrum-
mongers in all parts Of the country, and the
counterfetting business having been neasurably
played out in consequence of the numerous suite
instituted against the offenders, new system of
tactics has been adopted. In the South and West
especially, legion of Bitters," prepared from
worthless materials and bearing a variety of
names, have been got up by irresponsible adven-
turers with the hope Of substituting them to some
extent for the Standard Tonic Of the Age. In
some cases country druggists are the concocters
and proprietors of these unscieutilc and trashy
compounds, which are warmly recommended by
the venders. who endeavor to PAIN them off upon
the credulous in lieu of the great specific which
has never yet bad a successful competitor either
among proprietary preparations or Inc medicines
prescrl ed in private practice. This notice is in
tended to Put the public on their guard against
persuasions Of parties engaged in the attempt to
substitute mere rubbish for the most efficient
stomachic and Alternative at present known. At
this season of the year when debility and COM
plants arising from a lack of vital energy so
generally prevail, it is the greatest consequence
that no tricks should be played with depressed
and enfeebled systems. Ask, therefore, for Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the great vegetable in
Vgorant and Alternative, and reject, with deserved
contempt the worse than useless medleys offered
in Its place. 1t is important 20 the public TO
the proprietors OF the famous restorative, that
this advice should be needed.

Republican Rule.

THE hrst documentary gun of the cam.
palgn was fired by Senator Morton on
Monday night last at Terre Haute, Ind.
1t bIisues with striking points, but its
Chief strength is in the exhibit it gives of
the financial success of the Administration
and the reduction in both the taxes and
the publicl debt under Republican rule.
Ihe last Congress left record which
Will doubtless secure another Republican
national legislature. II is a fact, however
amazing it may appear, that Congress re-
duced taxation eighty millions Of dollars,
hfty-seVen millions Of internal taxes and
twenty-three millions of tariff. This was
done in full view Of the fact that we must
have an annual yield of one hundred and
sixty millions of revenue, and in the ex-
peclstlon that this sum could be mainly
collected from luxuries. The tax was,
therefore, taken off or reduced wherever
II Waspo ossible. The internal tax remains
only upon whisky and tobacco and upon
the sale of these. The ANNOYANCE of
stamping receipts was removed by abol.
lshipg stamps on receipts, and notes under
$lOO no longer require to be stamped.
The reduction of twenty.three millions
In the tariff was made mainly upon those
three articles which touch the purse of
the laboring man and the man of moder-
ate circumstances, viz. coffee, tea and
sugar. = . .-.s .s--
The enormous deduction should satisfy
even our Democraticfriends Those who
have been compelled to go ill.clad and
ill.fed, and to deny their children the lux
uries of their richer neighbors because of
the great burden of taxation which has
rested. upon the country, may now invest
their proportion of the eights millions in
such comforts and luxuries as they have
long suffered for. At the same time, the
Administration will conspire with Con.
gress TO better their condition another
year, Tor 1t is largely due to faithful col
Iectlon OF the revenue and economy in
administering the Government, that Con.
gress has been able to make the reduction
mentioned. Up to this time, the Admins.
tration has reduced the public debt about
one hundred and forty six millions of dol
iars During the first sixteen months, up
10 the hrtt OF July, the decrease was over
one hundred and thirty.nine millions, as
shown by Mr.. Boutwell's statement II
our Democratic friends had had the power
they would scarcely have done better
than this, for, during the last sixteen
months OF their johnson Administration,
the amount Of the public debt paid off
was somewhat less than nine millions.

they live on such dirty food and in such
dirty places. Cats seem 10 lose some oi
their instinct Of cleanliness when they
have to live as rats live; but rats clean
themselves after eating, IS carefully as
the most domestic cats and no heas or
oShtr insects are ever found upon them.
Rats are not easy to tame, and yet they
have sometimes made excellent nets. The
driver of London omnibus once found
in his haylolt young rat of piebald
color, which he brought home for his
children TO play with. The little thing
soon grew tame, and was great favorite,
the children naming him "Ikey after
their eldest brother. Hewould lie before the
fire at full length, or run round and round
after his own tall like cat. His master
often carried him in his pocket, or put
him in his dinner basket TO guard the
dinner. Ikey was always honest except
when there was plum-pudding in the
basket and then he had not moral courage
enough to resist nibbing at the pluma,
But If others touched the basket,
lkey flew at them, and drove them
away. In return, his master taught him
to sit on his hind legs and beg; to jump
through a hoop, to drag a little cart, and
TO carry money In his mouth.
l once saw a series of sketches, by q
young lady Of Boston, representing a
sleigh.Iide of cats drawn by rats. In the
first sketch they were trotting off very
finely. In the second the cats had grown
hungry and were dropping whips and
reins to spring upon the frightened rats.

Then, in collection of the revenue, the
present Administration has also the adj
vantage over the acknowledgements
ic Administration. Comparing the
last sixteen months of Johnson's term
with the first sixteen of Grants,
we find difference in favor Of
the latter of over ffty-one millions, over
thirty-two millions OF internal revenue
and over nineteen millions of customs du-
ties. It is this difference which is so
rapidly reducing the burdens which rest
upon the people, especially upon the
Democratic back, for, as an unwilling
heart doubles the burden, the Democracy
carry much the heaviest load. A calcu
lation will show that Grant has paid more
per month than johnson did per year,
and 1t Is not unfair, therefore, to infer
that Democratic rule would require as
many years to remove the public debt as
Republican rule would months.
Some other facts are worthy OF note in
this connection Besides reducing the
taxes eighty millions, Congress, in the ap-
propriations, reduced the amount $31 ,000-
zoo below the estimates. Another fact is,
that while the Democracy complain 30
much of the tax burdens, none of the
Democratic members voted for the tax
bill making the reduction of eighty mil
lions on It's final passage Toledo Blade.
