Large Pans For Milk.

The st. Adams (Vt.) Messenger says
that Mr.. A. II. Buck has one of the best
equipped farms in that country, and
thus describes the pans used in his but
ter dairy:
Mr.. Buck has four pans, which are
sufficiently ample for forty cows. They
are made square or rather oblong, of
tin, and are each six feet long, nineteen
inches wide and twelve inches deep.
They are set in wooden watts, and kept
from the bottom by sticks an inch or so
in thickness. In this wooden vat water
is poured, or may be kept running, so
as to regulate the temperature of the
milk. Running down from the bottom
of the pan at one corner is tin spout,
one and three-quarter inches in diane
ter, and of less rather than greater
length than the thickness of the wooden
bars which hold the pan from the bot
tom of the vat. Drawn over this and
wound closely with thread is piece of
rubber hose, which runs down through
the bottom of the wooden vat. 1t is
cut off, nearly even with the bottom,
and wooden plug inserted, which has
the double effect to stop the escape OF
both milk and water. By drawing this
plug the SKINNED milk is removed

Uses of Ashes.

Dry, clean wood ashes are richly
worth twenty-five cents bushel, we
think, to any farmer who wants more
manure. You can scarcely use them on
a crop without very sensible results. A
handful thrown around the corn plants
at the first hoeing will greatly increase
dark green color. Scattered in the hill
before the potato is covered, or about
the hill just before hoeing, will have
similar results. Sown broadcast on the
moving fields at the rate of as small
an amount as five bushels on the acre,
will greatly increase the growth and
color of the crop. Besides this, their
beneficial results will continue for seve-
raj years in succession. Strewed over
young cabbage plants, squashes, melons,
or any of the garden vegetables, such
as tomatoes, beets, onions, turnips Or
carrots, wood ashes not only tend to
disturb the insects that infest the plants,
but has a decided influence on their
growth and quality. All the ashes made
on the farm should be collected with
care, kept dry, and applied to the crops.
Nothing could be better for the young
orchard. Spreading ashes broadcast
over the surface would be more useful
than as mulch for the trees. The roots
will soon find it if spread. 1t is better
to use moderate quantity annually,
than to apply a large amount at one
time.
Ashes may be safely used in composts
of loan, muck, straw, or dry fbrous
materials /; they would tend to reduce
them. If in composts, where the drop
pings of cattle are portion of the ma
terial, the ashes should be applied i'm
mediately before the compost is to be
used-and the compost be slightly
covered by the soil. The earliest and
best way, however, is 20 apply ashes in
a dry state and unmixed.-N. E. Farmer.

The Situation i'm France.

The Paris correspondent of the World
writes under date of August | The
state of affairs here is becoming critical.
M. Theirs influence is wanting out of
doors, where there is growing feeling,
except among the men pledged to the
Republic, that the temporary arrange
ment must end and some stable govern
ment be formed. Men are indisposed to
risk their money in commercial transac-
tons upon the strength of NJ. Theirs
life, or upon the union of M. Theirs and
the national assembly. The national as
sembly refuses to confess entertaining
these sentiments, but it is very evident
they are daily making progress in the
assembly. The assembly desires a COM
plete change of ministry. 1t has shown
this by voting against all the ministers,
and by voting on yesterday against the
minister of commerce, although he
repeatedly declared he opposed, in the
name of the government, the PROPOSE
ton before the house.

Table of DAYS.

The following table is not, of course,
infallible, as every bee-keeper knows
but it is an approximation.
After collating many books, the fol-
lowing is believed to be fair average OF
the times so frequently desirable to
know. If the inquirer will place the
word about before these figures, he will
not be far out of the way.
Twenty days from the laying of the
first drone egg the queen cells are
begun.
Eight days after queen deposits an egg
in a queen cell it is sealed.
One day after the queen cell is sealed
the first swarm goes off.
Seven days after the (irst) swarm leaves
listen for piping.
Two days after piping is heard, look for
second swarm.
Fourteen days after the first swarm the
virgin queen leaves to meet the
drones, if no second swarm issues.
Two days after wedding tour the queen
lays eggs.
One day after hiving, the virgin queen
of a second swarm leaves to meet the
drones.
Thirty days after hiving large early
swarm, the same swarm may throw off
another.

Care of Sucking Colts.

In the Horseman's Manual is the fol-
low article on a subject which we fear is
too little considered and the evil re-
ferred to guarded against:
"Those who raise colts, usually exer-
else care in the selection of good stock
to breed from, but great many neg
lect to give the colts proper attention
during the hot weather, while they are
running with dams. It is not uncom-
mon to see those that were healthy and
well developed in carly summer, look
ing puny and poor, and their hair fall
ing OFT, before autumn. The trouble
arises from allowing the colt to draw
milk while the blood of the mare is in a
high state of heat from violent exer-
ton.
When the dam is used in hot wea-
Their upon the farm or road, so as to
heat her blood, the colt should never be
allowed to suck until she has fully
cooled off. Let him fill himself before
the mother is put in the harness, and if
1t IS important that he should accompa-
ny the dam, tie him at her side so that
he will be unable to draw milk until he
is liberated for it is much better that
ne should go hungry few hours than to
take his food while it is in a fevered
state.
IT the mare is to make a long dis
lance on hot day, and return at night,
it is best to leave the colt at home, and
draw the milk from the udder by hand
once or twice during the day and upon
returning, then allow the colt to fill
himself gradually as the milk is secre-
ted.
Colts injured by heated milk seldom
recover from it for a year or two, and
many times never. They become re-
duced in flesh, get lousy in the fall, and
during the first winter of their existence
when they need health and strength,
as, under any circumstances, it is the
most critical period Of their growth,
they have just life enough to move, and
the second summer, the proper time for
development, is spent in recuperation of
lost vitality"

Facts for the Household.

Orange Creama.-One pint cream, yolks
OF three eggs, six ounces powdered SUI

suit your taste flavor with lemon.
Tomato Omaelet.-Beat six eggs, mix
two tablespoonfuls of flour, with lit
tie butter; and add some salt and pep
per. Peel four tomatoes, and chop
very fine. Stir all together and fry.
Oyster omelet is made in the same way,
substituting a dozen chopped oysters for
the tomatoes.
Beef Steak.-In broiling beef steak,
whenever the GOALS blaze up from the
drippings, pinch of salt thrown upon
them will instantly extinguish the
flames. By carefully attending to this
matter, you may have your steak broiled
or chicken crisped, but not scorched,
and juicy, yet well done.

cups of powdered white sugar one and
a half cups of butter; the yolks of six

To Whiten Linen.

1t is said that flannel which has be-
come yellow by age may be restored to
it's original whiteness by the use of a
solution of one and a half pounds of
white Marseilles soap in fifty pounds of
soft river water, to which is added two
thirds of an ounce of spirit of sal am
moniac, and the whole thoroughly
mixed: The flannel is to be immersed
in this solution and well stirred around,
and afterward washed off in pure water.
The same result may also, it is said,
be obtained still more quickly by i'm
mersing the flannel for an hour in a
dilute solution of acid sulphate of soda,
and then stirring in dilute hydrochloric
acid in the proportion of one part of
acid to fifty of water. The vessel is
then to be covered over and allowed to
remain for quarter of an hour, when
the articles are to be removed and thor
oughly washed.

from the pan. 1t is well to have
another drain pipe for the wooden
vat, so that the water can be drawn if
need be without disturbing the milk
In this way the milk of forty cows can
be taken care OF as easily as that of five
COWS in the old method, and it is be-
ieved with greater profit. Mr.. Buck
has as yet made but one comparative
test, but from one hunred and seventh
pounds of milk he realized quarter of
a pound more butter in this than in the
old way, while its flavor was considered
superior. He believes that longer ex.
perience will show more favorable re-
suits, which seems reasonable Prairie

Another Revolution i'm Paris.

Advices from Paris, dated Aug. 10th,
say that the city is excited, the situa-
ton is threatening, and trouble is APP
pretended from various sources. The
10th was the .fete of Napoleon l., and
the air was full of rumors that the army
will revolt against the Versailles Assem-
bly,, declare Mcmahon regent, and de-
mand the Empire. People were leaving
Paris in stampede. Some believe that
the Orleanists' scheme is ripe for a coup
d'etat, being pushed by the proposition
to make Theirs the permanent Execu-
tive, which, it is feared, would establish
a government not monarchical. Theirs
has no friends. He is hated by Repub-
icans, Royalists and Imperialists alike.
A crisis is approaching.
