The trouble in churning is not an
swered correc tly, as w. H., of Earl, H..
will find out by little more expert
menting. Instead of laying all of the
trouble to the kind of COWS, advise
him to try the following plan, and see
that the management of the milk and
cream has most to do in the trouble of
churning: Ny plan is to use tin pans
to strain the milk in, and in the cool
part Of the year to set the milk on the
stove in the pans as soon as strained.
and let it remain about fifteen minutes
or until the cream starts then set it in
a room adjoining the kitchen, in cup
board with shelves and doors to it, so
that it seldom freezes. Let the milk
remain in the pans about three days
and skim off the cream and empty the
pans. Put the cream in a stone jar, and
let it remain in the same cupboard un.
til the day that ! intend to churn,
which is once in three or four days, then
in the morning set it in the kitchen so
that it will get warm enough to churn
in the evening, about 60 degrees by the
thermometer.
Before we tried this plan we had the
same trouble Us A. W., OF DesMolnes,
Iowa. We have still the same cows. An
other gain is sweet butter and sweet
buttermilk, instead Of bitter, worthless
trash. am convinced that the trou-
BILE is not heating the milk. The cream
will rise more in twenty-four hours,
when it is heated, than it will in four
days without warming. Cream that is
taken from milk that has been sitting
around in cool weather for FIVE or six
days, without being heated, seldom
churns quickly to butter.
Many persons lay the trouble to the
cream not being at the right tempera-
ture at the time of churning, but that
is not the trouble, nor either is any par.

The Thief'S EXpedient.

In looking over one of my old manu-
script lectures the following caught my
eye. Where | originally found it | can
not remember, but we will call it as good
as new:
There is fable among the IIindoos
that thief, having been detected and
condemned to die happily hit upon an
expedient which gave him hope of life
He sent for his jailer, and told him that
he had a secret Of great importance
which he desired to impart to the King,
and when that had been done he would
be prepared to die. Upon receiving
this piece Of intelligence the King at
once ordered the Gull rit to be conducted
to his presence, and demanded Of him
to know his secret. The thief replied
that he knew the secret of causing trees
to grow which would bear fruit of pure
gold. The experiment might be easily
tried, and his Majesty would not lose
the opportunity; so, accompanied by
his Prime Minister, his courters, and
his chief priest, he went with the thief
to spot selected near the city wall,
where the latter performed series of
solemn lamentations. This done, the
cOnuelneu man pfOuuceu piece OF gOIu
and declared that if it should be planted
it would produce tree every branch of
which would bear gold.
But" he added, "this must be put
into the ground by hand that has
never been stained by dishonest act.
My hand is not clean, therefore | pass it
to your Majesty"
The King took the piece of gold, but
hesitated. Finally he said
81 remember, in my younger days,
that ! often filched money from my
fathers treasury which was not mine
! have repented of the sin: but yet
hardly dare say my hand is clean. /
pass it, therefore, to my Prime Minis.

would try yet this one day. All the
morning he was hard at work. At noon
he found it absolutely necessary to
lengthen his rope He had still the
whole afternoon and evening before
him, and i'm these hours he might con-
quer Fate; but without the rope he
could do nothing. He went about from
neighbor to neighbor trying to borrow,
but nobody had rope to spare. There
was still the store to 90 to, but his cred
it there was worn out. Yet still he
might try; only one yard of rope-sure-
ly they would give it to him.
He went in as bravely as he could /;
but the sting of former refusals was in
his mind, and he made his request
humbly, like the beggar he felt himself.
"No, they really could not sell anything
more on trust; rope was in great de-
mand-not even yard
Hope was quite over then. He turned
away, and got back to the hotel some
how, and to his wife. She was busy
putting together the fragments that re-
NAMED Of their wardrobes but when
he came in, she understood at once that
he had broken down in the depths of
her own heart she felt the sudden pain
of utter failure that was in his. She
went to him and taking his arm, drew
him to a seat beside her, and comforted
him as best she could, with love and
some poor shadow of hope. She had
not word of reproach for him then,
not a thought even. Now that all cas-.
ties had fallen down, they were as much
hers as his. So, partly by the help of
her absolute sympathy, he began by and
by to bear the consciousness of defeat
with little calmness. He sat by while
she finished her packing for tomorrow s
journey; and when the baby awoke
from its sleep, he even proposed that
they should 90 out together and bid
good-by to those who had been kind to
them in their troubles.
They made their little round; and
then, with last wish to look at the
scene of so many hopes, which early to-
morrow morning was to be stripped of
its appliances, and left to utter neslect,
Patterson drew his wife to the empty
well. She sighed as they drew near il,
and would hardly look. Suddenly her
husband sprang from her side he stood
upon the rough bank of earth, his face
flushed, his breast heaving, trying to
call to her with inarticulate words. In
a moment she was beside him. Yes,
Fate was conquered; there at their feet,
filling the hollow already to its very
brim, lay a dark precious lake-lay the
oil, which meant plenty, easy wealth,
the uttermost fulfillment Of all our pho
tographers dream.-Belgrav,a.

Remarkable Electrical Phenomena.

A correspondent of the Baker City
Oregon Democrat gives the following
account of strange electrical phenome-
ma noticed in that State: Our tent is
pitched about 400 yards below the
Clover Ferry, on Snake river. The sur
rounding country gives evidences of an
early spring. a the grass has fully ma
tured, giving the hills a brown tinge.
The weather is oppressively warm. |

instantly pealed forth terrific shock.
and, before its reverbations had died
away in the distance, we discovered the
grass on fire on the mountains side. di-
rectly in the track of the electrical cur
rent. The question arose: Rad the
lightning set fire to the grass? NV

any hostile Indians III this vicinity |
should regard it as a signal fire.. Be.

marks another discharge came down a
hillside 200 yards nearer to us. Again
the grass was ignited. While express

non, another discharge descended the
hillside parallel to the preceding cur.
rent, and again the burning grass
marked its course. This was something
rarely seen, and never before witnessed
by any of us. Inside of ten minutes the
grass was three times set on fire by cleo
lricity. The same phenomenon occurred
twice, during the same storm, on Mr..
Edleman's ranch, one mile up the river.
While we were witnessing the freaks OF
electricity on the north side of the river
a fire burst forth on the south side.
From deep gorge few hundred yards
below camp, dense smoke came roll
ing down to the river, showing that the
storm king had been playing his pranks
there, too. A smart shower of rain soon
extnguished the fires, dssipated the
smoke, and purified and cooled the at

And the priest said
" You forget have the collecting of

fee"
At length the thief exclaimed:
" Your Majesty, think it were better
for society that all five of Us should be
hanged, since it appears that not an
honest man can be found among us"
In spite of the lamentable exposure,
the King laughed and so pleased was
he with the thief's cunning expedient,
that he granted him pardon.

The Fete Champetre.

The opening of the fete cham
petre at CarrolltOn Gardens last night
was brilliant The place was beauti-
fully Illuminated by gas, and the booths
were more elegantly arranged than they
have ever been at any similar festival.
Early in the evening there was offered an
athletic contest for various prizes, the win
ners having the privilege of browning the
queens of their choice. In this the young
people engaged with the highest zest, and
1t was certainly most enjoyable feature
Duringa short stay on the ground several
booths were visited, the first being that
presided over by Judge Caulkins and
Messrs. Preston, Tresavant and Wilson.

The next visit was to Miss Lizzie Hickok
and her punch bowl, and then to the imme-

which could be discerned Mrs. Burbank,
who offered doll babies and other articles.
Mrs. Fellows presides over a table at
which any taste may be satisfied. Miss

were excellent. The evening closed pleas

The festivities will be resumed again this
