The Butter-Plant.

The high price which butter has at
tanned within the last few years, and
which gives no indications of decline,
will eventually lead to one Of two results,
either Americans will learn, like their Eu-
ropean neighbors, to abstain from the ex-
travagant use Of butter in which they
now almost universally indulge, or a par
tial substitute will be found for butter
What is wanted is good vegetable oil,
of delicate nature, which will do for
cooking purposes, so that the use Of but
ter may be restricted to the table. There
is said to be plant in Japan which is
the exact thing needed. The natives call
it the butter-plant and use it precisely as
they would butter. 1t has no strong
odor Or taste, but d very delicate flavor. -
As Japan lies about on the latitude of
Pennsylvania, and as it is on the eastern
shore Of great continent, its climate
must be substantially the same as ours,
and consequently there would probably
be no difficulty in domesticating this Gu
rious and useful exotic. If it is as rep
resented we are tempted to think that the
experiment of importing and cultivating
this butter-plant would be grand success.
At the present prices, butter is actually a
larger item Of expense to most families
than bread. If clean, pure, delicate
vegetable oil could be cheaply procured
to take the place of butter in the kitchen,
while still leaving that article for table
use, great saving and an inestimable
benefit would be conferred.

Sagging of Gates.

In recent number of the Rural, a
correspondent, writing on this subject,
recommends method of preventing gates
from sagging in cases where they are
hung to trees or buildings. The support
described seems to me to be entirely use
less. A gate constructed as it should be,
will never sag if hung to tree or build
ing. The common difficulty comes fvom
sugging of the post. The constant trac-
tion in one direction tends strongly to
move the post from perpendicular posi-
ton 1t is next to impossible to set post
so firmly that it will not move some.
In the case of board fences there is sell
dom much difficulty experienced from
settling of posts to which gates are hung,
because the pulling Of the gates is dis
tributed to, and resisted by, many posts,
as they are firmly connected by the
boards.
Great frmness may be secured by
means of narrow plank of joist, one
end spike to the top Of the gate post, the
other to the J0t0m of the first or second
fence post.
If there is no fence post, as in the case
of rail fence, l set firmly a short post at
the proper place, "a foot above ground is
sufficiently and spike my stay plank to
that. A common fence board will an
swer in place of the plank, if sound
one, or two may be used, one on each
side of the posts. This is cheap, quickly
done, and eifectual. If it will not be in
the way, a stay may be run out the other
way also, to prevent the post from settling
in the direction of the gate when open.

To Make Good Coffee.

If persons wish good beverage of this
kind, care must be taken in making it.
One very prevalent custom is to leave the
grounds in for several days. This, if
you wish good coffee, must not be done.
The coffee pot should be cleaned and
dried after each meal, and if some of the
liquid is left that you wish to save, turn
it off carefully into some tight earthcn
vessel and re-heat it when you wish to
use. 1t will then be nearly as good as
when fresh made. IF the berry is nicely
Drowned - not burnt-and if care is taken
with the coffee pot as above stated it is
very easy to make good coffee.

gag- To make Grating Wax, take one
pound of tallow, two pounds bceswax and
five pounds resin. Melt together and
mix thoroughly. Cool off by pouring into
a pan of cold water. Grease the hands
before taking it out of the water, OR it
may stick. Work it thoroughly by pull
ing it. IF too stiff, add tallow; if too
soft, add resin. If it is desired to use it
for root grating, make it softer and paint
it on heavy newspapers with an old
brush. To take the wax off the hands or
out of the brush, grease the hands and
brush. Work the wax into the grease
and then wash with soap.

plentiful in clover heads. They are usu-

full bloom. We have before heard this
theory propounded, and it certainly seems
plausible.
