TREATMENT OF MILK IN BUTTER MAKING.

Thirty six hours is the average period
for a pan Of milk to stand before being
skinned. Till the milk sours all the
cream cannot be obtained, and if left
longer, rancidity ensues. The Swimming
is required to be done exactly at the right
time. In winter we keep the milk pans
On shelves, in !. small room usually kept
dark, in our main dwelling, built for the
purpose, and adjoining stove-room. The
temperature, GO. is regulated by Their
mometer The cream when SKINNED is
put into tin vessels fourteen inches deep
by thirteen wide, and holding about
twenty-five quarts. Regularly three
times a day, these cream pots are stirred
round thoroughly with a wooden paddle.
We keep them at a low temperature no
matter how low, if above the freezin 6
point. This is to prevent mouldiness Or
rancidity. We do not allow the cream to
stand longer than a week before it is
churned. At churning time, these cream
pots are plunged into a boiler of hot
water and stirred rapidly around with a
wooden paddle, till the temperature Of
the cream reaches $50, ascertained by a
thermometer, or it may be determined by
testing it with the finger lit should feel

CHAPTER ON LEGS.

Anna Cora Mowatt Richie on Eng

Theoretically and Delicately Han

Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt Richie, in
her London letter to the San Francisco
Chronicle, handles the legs of some of
her American and English sisters in this

much in the ascendant in England that
ladies' OF rank have invented a Gew

put forth the gross SANDER that "a hand

an mpossibiiity-among American
women We do not believe. the IN
gallant libel, though American ladies
are not in the habit Of publishing their
charm by having casts taken Of their
shapely legs, as an ornament for draw

GREEN CCKN FUH SolIlNu CAIii4E
T. D. Curtis. Wee President Of the
n. Y. State Agricultural Society, in 6
paper read before the American Institute
Farmers Club, said:
To the stock breeder who is obliged to
keep some Of his animals confined thro'
the summer, green feed is an absolute
necessity. Corn fodder is extensively
grown and is most excellent Tor our pul-
pose. With clean, rich soil, it may be
sown broadcast at the rate Of three bush
els to the acre. Four bushels Of seed TO
the acre will make finer stalks and pre-
vent the weeds from growing SO much /,
for the reason that the ground will be
mere thoroughly shaded. Corn fodder
raised in this way can be Graded in swaths
and being bound up in small bundles
and placed in stacks, viii dry nicely, and
is splendid feed after frost comes, ana

For Young colts, calves and lambs dur
Ing the winter, such fodder is exceedingly
nutritious, and almost Invaluable. The
seed can be drilled in, or covered with
cultivator and the ground rolled. Plant
ing corn closely in drills is the safest way
to get crop for fodder, as 1t can then e
cultivated, and | should recommend this
way unless the ground is very mellow
and free from weeds.
The disadvantage of corn for fodder is
that but one crop can be obtained, and
the season is so far advanced before that
one is ready. For this reason many far
mer's think it does not pay, which is
great mistake. 1t should be grown for
late feeding green crop, to Increase the
income of the dairy and to keep up the
good condition Of the young animals.

HARD TIME FOR FARMERS.

The Western Farmer, recognizing the
fact that large portion of the farmers OF
the West viii begin the year in debt in

A Wonderful Negro in Ohio.


A colored man is at present stopping
IN this place, who attracts mere, as ne
has in other places where he has been, a
great deal of attention by the singular
power he possesses Of dlsarrahglhg Ger
tain organs of his body.
By some inward muscular action he
seems to have the no@ei CT changing IN :
location of his heart a5 pleasure. Rlac-
ing our hand upon his breast, at the
proper place, we could feel Its beating as
timely. He then commenced a series o.
coutortions with his abdomen, rolhng. II
over and over several Tunes; ~ tte
conclusion of this striking exhibition, we
placed our hand upon lump II his ieIt
side below his waist, and there was the
heart humping away as II nothing IN
usual was the matter. 4 few more con-
tortions, aud tEe frisky organ passed
across the abdomen, and or the right
site, kept up its work OF throwing, the
blood through the system as regularly as
If in Its natural position. More contor-
tions, and it travelled back home, It's
course being easily traced under the sam
till it passed under the ribs. The man
then commenced sort OF rotary motion
of the bowels, apparently turning them
over several times, when he felt a com
plete set of ribs covering the abdomen
the regular set being in their usual place.
Turning the bowels in the opposite dIree-
ton, the false ribs disappeared. On be-
ing asked if his mother had any more
children ike hun, he replied that he had
a brother over six feet high, who could
reduce his stature to something less than
three feet. We believe him readily. after
having witnessed the above performances.
Another curious feature about him Is
that he can not be choked. He allows
any one to grasp him by the throat, and
use his utmost strength to stop ms
breathing but in spite of all endeavorS
he continues to talk as Ii nothing was
wrong.

The simple method Of keeping milk

The simple method Of Keeping mix
fresh for long time, is now extensively
practised in the vicinity of Paris This
consists merely in adding to each quart Of
fresh milk, before the cream has risen
upon it, about six grains of bicarbonate
of soda or potash. and then placing the
milk in bottles, which are to be tightly
corked for four hours in water bath
heated to a temperature OF about 100
degrees, taking care not to so beyond this
limit. When the bottles are removed
from the bath, they are to be made per-
fectly tight by coating the cork witE wax
and then the milk can be kept u
long time unchanged.

Tue Newark Daily journal, in q
well written article, exhibits the scanda-
lous means resorlcd TO by the Radicals to
| carry some Of the Congressional districts
in New Jersey, at the late election. 1t
says: 'ln Morris and Sussex counties, the
reckless expenditure of money by the
Radicals, made some of the most eype-
Iienccd politicians tremble. They had
never before seen anything TO compare
with il; although the business was not all
done around the polls. The men who ex-
pended the money went arounI 10 the
houses of poor mcn, days before the cleo
ton, and made all the arrangements in
presence of the family. A ton of coal, an
oyercoat and barrel of flour were given
in not a few instances for single votes,
and one negro demanded and received a
ton of coal, barrel of flour and So
cash. In conclusion, the Journal sets
il down rs fact that New jersey was
carried "by outside contributions, from
what source we may never be able 10 as
certain exactly; but if the truth were
known, il is quite likely that the money
was drawn directly or indirectly from the
Federal Treasury"
