HOW TO PAPER A ROOM.

Several lengths of papers should be
laid one on another upon the floor or
bench, allowing the fair edges to pro-
jeet over, so that the paste may not
touch the figured surface. The back
should then be smartly brushed over
with paste, covering every part, but
taking especial care not to soak the
the paper. The more quickly and
dexteriously this operation can be
performed, the better will be the re-
suit, and no time should be lost in at
once placing the wet paper upon the
wall. The more common papers have
less power of resisting water than
those Of good quality, and speedily
become so rotten and weak that thew
will not support their own weight.
while at the same time they expand
so much that it is often difficult to
match the patterns; in fact, some Of
the very common and cheap papers
can only be hung when they are half
dry, and one person should paste the
back while the other is engaged in
placing the previously pasted piece
upon the wall. As it Is difficult to
manage very long length of wet pa
per, the best plan is to fold it loosely
back into about halfits inallength;
and when the upper part is fixed to
the wall, uD fold the lower portion and
place that in its turn. The proper
place to commence hanging is the
left-hand corner of the room, work
ing round to the right. OF course
great care must be taken to fix the
hrst length perfectly upright, as, if
this be not done, the whole Of the pa
per will, in following 1t, Be out OF the
perpendicular, and most unpleasant
effect will be produced. When the
first length has been properly placed,
the exact lines of the ceiling and skirt
ing board should be marked with the
back OF the scissors, and the paper
gently drawn away from the wall, cut
on to the line, and replaced. All air
bladders and wrinkles should be press
ed out, and the whole smoothed down
with a soft. long-haired brush. While
the paper is wet, a very little viii
cause it to smear; and it is eonsequent-
yof the first importance not to touch
It's surface more than is absolutely
necessary. The first length being
properly placed, the others NAV be
liked in the same manner, until the
whole Of the longer lengths are in
position; when the smaller portions.
such as those over the windows and
doors, may be filed in with the REM
nants before mentiOned.-EE.

PASTURES Am RUTTER.

The local requisites for the manu-
facture Of good butter are air, whole
some water. and sufficieney of sweet,
nutritious herbage. Fresh, rich, Juicy
feed will enhance both the Quality
and quantity Of milk and butter.
The requisites named belong gener-
ally to somewhat elevated or hilly
districts, rather than to those Of an
opposite character. A rolling, eleva-
ted country, hilly oftentimes, abound
ing in springs Of soft water, and drain
ed by clear rippling streams flowing
over gravelly beds, constitute the pre-
dominating character of the best
dairying districts Of Vermont, New
York and the Middle States, so fa-
nous for their dairy products. On
such lands the best and sweetest nat.
ual grasses obtain, and perhaps half
dozen more different varieties abound,
in Themselves full of the best milk
producing qualities. In nearly all of
our hilly pastures the white or Dutch
clover abounds, the presence of which
indicates a good range for cows.
Another essential Is a change of
pasture. This, 1 believe, Is contrary
to the teachings of some, but think
where practicable it is the better way
to give the COWS a change of range
every ten days or so. Fresh pastures
are clean, the grass Is even, full and
nutritious, and the animals will fill
themselves. and then lie down and
digest their food in quietness. A pas
ture long run over, becomes solid with
the droppings and treadIngs Of the
cows upon it. A better flow of milk
follows a change into new pasture
than continuance on an old one, and
it is more economical. Turning off
from a close fed pasture the rains
bring it up anew, and in a few days
or weeks it is ready for the COWS again,
while the one last fed grows up again
to supply its place when that is ex-
hausted. During the fall the feed in
the pastures gets short. The defici-
eney may be made up wholly or in
part, at least, by extra feed from drill
ed corn, or second crop grass from the
moving field.
Cows, to yield the best returns,
should always have ready access to a
plenty of good water. This is almost
indispensable, for it is impossible to
make good butter without a good sup
lures where the water fails in dry
time, have probably observed how
rapidly their cows shrink in their
milk when water is scarce and the |
do not get their usual supply. |
When we consider that about eighty |
seven parts of the constituents Of I
milk are water, a COW that gives a |
large quantity of milk would require /
q good supply to keep up a uniform /
dow of milk. 1t would be far better /
to induce them to take all the water /
they will, than to have them putupO |
short allowance. Inducing cows to |
drink large quantities of water will |
increase the flow of milk certainly;
but to what extent the quantity Of 1
milk may be increased without detri-
ment to the quality, by inducing
The animal to take an abundant sup
ply Of liquid, am not prepared to
'ay. But am satisfied that milk Of
good quality may be increased by this

HOW 10 KEEP CIDER

1 am aware that there are as many
recipes for keeping cider as for
curing colds or rheumatism. Some
doubtless are good, but most of them
are worthless. Here is one which I
have found TO answer the purpose ad-
mirably, and, as your readers win
observe, it is very simple one. I
allow the cider, after it comes from
the press, to stand until the pumaee
settles. When this point Is reached,
1 put it in clear vessel, and let it
come to boil, skimming Off the scum
carefully. It is then put into kegs or
demiiOhns and tightly cOrked and
sealed. By this process / have excel
lent cider, not merely for the entire
winter, but for years. This method
would not ofeourse be available where
large quantities are made, but for an
ordinary family 1t answers admirably.

AIKars BIanket . Horse.

A horse when blanketed in the
winter will eat less foOd-it requires
less to generate heat. 1t has been OBJ
served that he will eat one-third less.
So, farmers, sell your oats and buy

the sake of trying to save two or three
dollars, TO neglect this matter.
It is poor economy in another re-
spect. Many noble horse has lost
his life by the carslessness of his

The following story is related of the
late President Lincoln:


There lived in Springfield in 1860,
and probably lives there still, an Irish
day iaborer named John McCarty, an
intense Democrat. Some time after
the presidential election, Mr.. Lincoln
was walking along the public square,
and John was shoveling out the gut
ter. AS the President elect approach
ed ,McCarty rested on bis shovel, and
holding out his hand, said bluntly:
"An' so yer elected President, are
ye? Faith, an it wasn't my vote, at
all, at alll'
"Well, yes, John, I" replied Mr.. Lin
coin, shaking hands very cordially
with John, "the papers say Pm cleo
ted, but it seems odd Ishould be when
you opposed me-"
HWell, Misther Lincoln, ~ said John
his voice, lest some brother
Democrat shoHld hear the confession,
''T'm glad you got it, after ali. It's
little pace pve had wild Bid
dy for votin' forninst ye; and If ye'd
been bate she'd ha' drive me from the
shanty as shure's the world"
"Give my compliments to Hiddy,
John, and tell her Ill think seriously
IF woman suffrage" said Mr.. Lin I
colin, with a smile, as he passed on to !
his office.

Professor Townsend says: " Tradi-
ton and reverence for the man Of
God have resolusely protected many
one in the pulpit, who would have
fallen fiat on the platform or at the
bar. But the day of this divine inter-
ference and defence is passing. Spe-
eial talents andsnOt the garb, other
things being equal, are now to win as
elsewhere, so in the pulpit. The
mere gOrb has lost its charm; il is too
easily eounterfeited, and has con-
eealed too many hypOerites longer to
blind the eyes of the discerning. A

many yards of black cloth, and a

qualification for the pulpit. The eleri-
cal oftie must heneeforth stand upon

When General Boynton was in the
South, a swarthy, gOOd-natured darky
became quite attached to that iolly
son o. Mars and quill drill. The
General, in course Of time, sent him
to his father in Ohio. The old gent
asked Sam if he knew anything about
horses and carriages, "Spec I does,
massaI was massais ole cOachman,
dis chile was !' He was told to 90 to
the barn and "grease upn the buggy,
which he did. The old gent then got
in, but thought the dasher was rather
stickey as he lay his hand on it to
assist himself in getting in. But
what wss his horror to find that Sam
had literally 'greased up the buggy;ii
for he had applied the wheel grease
to every part Of 1.-THE seat, top, sides,

was not cooled very much by Sans
remarking, as he scrambled out Of the
sticky concern, "Golly, massa, couldn't
grease dis yers harness, COS de grease
it's all done gonei"
The same darker was Gfterward
taken to the village with Mrs. B., who.
wishing to leave short message with
a lady friend, and not desiring to get
out Of the carriage, told Sam to get
out and ring the bell. Sam got out
and stood in the road, peering and
gazing up in the air and around the
sides Of the house, with his great
hands stuck in his trowser's pockets.

The CHRONICLE.
THE HILL OF FAME.

Did you ever know a man
To reach the hill of fame,
Who always claimed that he is right
That others are to blame?
No, his soul is quite too small;
Ten thousand such could stand
Upon a tiny needle point,
And yet have vacant land.
Did you ever know a man
To gain himseifrenoWn
BY talking up his neighbOrs' failings
All about the town
The man who tries TO build a name
By tearing others down,
Will surely meet with sore defeat,
A rough and thorny crown.
A man who would be truly great,
Must have generous mind;
Instead Of talking of the bad,
The good traits try TO find,
And what e'er he's called TO do,
'Tis best TO do il well,
And leave his deeds. IL they are good,
For other folks to tell.
A man who would be free from care,
Must never worship self:
Twill surely mar his happiness
Blockad his way to wealth
Remember on the mill OF fame.
There's room enough for all,
And If you push a brother back,
You'll surely catch the fall.
