Old Style Shuttle Superseded
Vertical Feed! Self Adjusting Needle.
SEWING HACHINE FOLKS
LOOK HERE!

The American Button Hole Overcoming and
Sewing Machine Company, Philadelphia. have
produceu anew Shuttle Sewing Machine whchs
SIMPLER THAN ANY SINGLE THREADER
Anybody can run it. The feed can be raised
or lowered for light or heavy work.
No more bother with the old style shuttle
with Its crude, incouvenient, and difficult tension
adjustment, produced by threading through
row of holes, attended with vexing uncertainty,
great expense of time, and breaking thread.
The Improved Shuttle admits of being instant
ly adjusted by the inexperienced with any de-
gree of tension required for sewing anything
from LEATHER to ONE THICKNESS OF
TISSUE PAPER, (see samples) These Ma
chimes make the Lock Stitch alike on both sides
of the work, are large, strong and roomy, and are
supplied with extra cloth plate and leather nee
dies, for sewing leather, if desired.
Their superior workmanship, style of finish,
durability, speed and power, running stlller anu
easier than other shuttle machines, attract the
attention and elicit the admiration of machinists
and mechanics everywhere. This, and the fact
that it is almost impossible to make them break
the thread or miss a stitch commends them to
the general favor of all.

Prunin1 the Currant--The Borer.

There is no shrub, bush, plant or tree
that pays more generously for pruning
than does the currant. Yet few ever touch
it with the pruning knife, while they use
it TO excess on the grape, apple and pear.
To have large, well developed fruit and
paying crops, rich, moist, cool, friable
soil, made so by feeding and mulching,
and judicious system of pruning is all
important. For mulch there is no sub
stance 50 valuable as chip manure, or leaf
loan, etc, from the forest The borer is
becoming serious drawback upon the
growing of the currant. As remedy we
know of nothing so efectual as close prun-
ing and burning the trimmings. Garden
ers are often perplexed at the sickly APP
pearance and decay of the two and three
year old growths Of their bushes. 1t is a
very easy matter to trace out the cause

A Novelty in Butter Making.

Something like the following has been
floating about in the newspapers for some
time past. We hope our rural readers will
try the experiment indicated and report
upon it:
\ singular method of making butter has
recently come into rather extensive use in
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 Nor
mandy and other parts of France butter is
prepared on a large scale in this way. The
process consists in placing the cream in a
linen bag of moderate thickness, which is
carefully closed then burying the bag
about foot and half deep in the earth,
and allowing il to remain from twenty
four to twenty-five hours. After the expi-
ration of this period, the cream is found to
have become hard and it is then broken
up by means of a wooden beaten into small
pieces and sufficient water poured in to
wash out the buttermilk. To prevent any
mixture of earth it is advisable to enclose
the bag in a second one of a larger size and
coarser quality. This method of making
butter saves a good deal of labor, and sep
arates the butter more perfectly than the
ordinary process and til said that butter
thus prepared is of more excellent quality.

In examining the minutes, it is
we'll to bear in mind that in
some instances the ministers
live on their own farms laying

hence do not receive as much
as they would if they lived on
their work; also, that in many
instances where the figures are
low the labor has been but
for part Of a year.
