NOVELTY IN BUTTER-MAKING.--A
singular method of making butter has
recently come into rather extensive use
lin France, based upon the fact that
cream is changed into butter by being
simply buried in the earth. The theory
of this result is not very Ineligible,
though the fact is stated to be beyond
question and in Normandy and other
parts of France butter is prepared on
large scale in this way. The process
consists in placing the cream in linen
bag of moderate thickness, which is
carefully closed then burying the bag
about foot and a halfdeep in the earth
and allowing it to remain from twenty
four to twenty-five hours. After the ex-
piration 70 this period, the cream is found
to have become hard, and it is then
broken up means of wooden beater, in
to small pieces, and sufficient water
poured in to wash out the butter-milk.
To prevent any mixture of earth, it is
advisable to inclose the bag in second
of larger size and coarser quality This
method of making butter saves a good
deal of labor, and separates the butter
more perfectly than the ordinary pro
cess and it is said that the butter thus
prepared is of more excellent quail
ty.

BRIGHT RED ON ANIMALs.-We have
never yet been able to arrive at solu-
ton Of the curious effects of the sight Of
scarlet, or brilliant orange, or crimson,
on some animals. No treatise on natur-
al history we ever have seen has given a
satisfactory explanation of facts which
must often have been noticed by the
most unobservant. An exchange says
Many persons have PROFESSIONALLY
lost their lives in consequence of wear
ing articles Of dress which provoked
domesticated animals to such pitch of
fury as to lead to melancholy results.
Females, for example, in attempting to
cross a pasture, wearing red shawl, a
red covering for the head, scarlet dress
or flowing scalret ribbons, where bulls are
grazing, hazard their lives. Oxen, 9TH
erwise peaceably disposed, become in
tensely Infatuated at some seasons by the
sight of bright red hankerchieis, or al
most any article of female dress of that
particular hue. 1t is equally curious
that turkeys manifest the same restless
ness and ultimate excitement aired flags
or dresses. The turkey cock on such
occasions assumes extraordinary dignity,
gobbling most furiously, and creating i'm
mense excitement in the family, not ac-
customed to thesight Nearly all the wild
grazing animals exhibit extreme sur
prise, if not positive fright, when a red
cloth floats before them"

Wood Ashes.

Many farmers are in the habit of sell
ling the wood ashes that they make, to
soap makers for fifteen to twenty cents
per bushel. Our advice is, thatthe next
time an ash cart comes along, the driver
exclaiming, Any ashes to sell? :" to re-
ply No" emphatically; you need not
call here again. We are not such fools
to sell ashes at fifteen cents bushel,
when they are worth fifty cents bushel
to us"
Well, they are worth fifty cents BUSH
81 to any farmer, if they pure wood ash
es. Coal ashes are not worth carting to
the.feld. The chemical constituents of
wood ashes are silica, alumina, oxide of
iron, oxide, phosphoric acid, chlorine
and carbonic acid.
These constituents are all essential to
the growth of vegetation but potash,
the principal constituent, is the mostim-
portant. 1t decomposes organic substan-
ces, and renders many inorganic substan-
ces soluble. rra
Sandy soils are benefited by the APP
plication Of wood ashes, and the follow
ing crops are particularly increased by
applying ashes Potatoes, carrots, corn
beans, peas, clover and grass generally.
A compost made of hen manure, soil
and ashes, is a wonderful fertilizer for
corn. Put about three parts of any fine
ly pulverized soil to one part of hen ma
nure, and two parts of unleached wood
ashes. Mix we'll in March or April, wet
ting the compost thoroughly and at
complaining time it will be in good con-
dition to use. Apply handful to hill
and the result will be satisfactory. -E:r-
change.
The abovesin the main is good advice.
though the farmer should be careful
about mixing ashes with any kind of ma
nure unless soil or other absorbents are
used with them to retain the ammonia,
which otherwise would pass off and lessen
the value of the compost. Homestead.

STONE IMAGES ON EASTER ISLAND
Much attention has been excited lately
by the discovery on Easter Island-a
small speck in the midst of the Pacific
Ocean, about forty degrees west of Chill,
not thirty miles in circumference, with
out trees, without metals, and supporting
only scanty population of half-staryed
savages-of an immense number of pi.
gantic representations in stone of the hui
man head, from twenty to fifty feet in
height, and supported, in many cases, on
long platforms of masonry. There are
no means of ascertaing when or by
whom the curious figures were construc-
ed, the present inhabitants of the island
having no traditions in regard to them,
and venture no suggestions. What tools
were used in their production can not be
learned, as no implements of any kind
seem to have been discovered in associa.
ton with these huge remains. They are
said to resemble very closely the figures
found in Mexico and Central America.
and to be of about the same character o.
Workmanship. A curious appendage to
many of these statues consists of crown
OF volcanic tufa placed on the top of the
figure. These, in some cases; are six feet
high and five feet in diamter, and must
nave been placed on the top after their
erection by no means an easy task as
is suggested by the writer of the account
from which we derive these facts.
KEELING CooI.-The intensely hot
weather of summer is on us, and persons
working out of doors, are liable to sum-
stroke, and if that is not always immi.
nent, other ailments are that an Intense
heating OF the blood and brain makes
more or less sure.
If the head is kept cool, the man is
generally safe; and an experience in the
bayfield, that reaches over nearly doz-
en- summers, before mowing-macbines
were in general use leads us to saw that
a bunch of green grass worn in the hat
