Keep Up the Flow OF Milk.

During the month OF August aud the first
part OF September mich cows should have
special attention TO their feed, and not be
allo sed 10 shrink low in their milk. The
grass In pastures begins to Diet eriorate i'm
July, and during the hot weather usual in
August and September pastures fails TO Weld
a sufficient quantity of 81 cculent and nutri-
tlous food TO keep up the flow Of milk. The
failure of meadows this year in some sec
lions, and the lateness of the hay harvest In
others, must delay somewhat the time for
turning cows into the afterfeed. In the
meantime, If stock get no other food than
that which they pick in pastures, the Weld
OF milk will rapidly fall away. When the
now OF milk Is checked-even for n short
time-it Is dimcult TO bring the Weld M
again to the old standard, nOtwithst andins
the cows get an abundance of food. This
will have been observed BY every one who
has had the care Of dairy stock.

Where wheat is sown after barley or
oats, the land should be plowed as early
after harvest as possible. II this can not
be done at once, harrow the land. to break
down the stubble and destroy weeds, and
cause the seeds to germinate. The rub
bish will act as a mulch and keep the
ground moist, and Il will plow easier than
If LEFT unprotected to bake In the scorch
ing sun, The fallows must not be neglect
ed. Get everything ready, but do not be in
too great hurry too SOW. II the land Is
in good condition, from the 5th to the 25th
of September Is the best time In our lati-
tude. TO prevent smut, the old-fashioned
plan OF moistening the seed with ferlnent-
ed chamber-lye, and then drying II with
quicklime. Is safe. and IL thoroughly done,
effective. The liquid from the stables, II
fermented so as to develop the ammonia,
Is equally good. The main point Is To turn
over the heap until every seed and every
part of each seed l. moistened with the
liquid, and the same Is true In regard to
the lime simple and effective plan is 10
dissolve. for each bushel OF seed wheat,
three ounces OF blue vitrol in one quart Of
water When cool sprinkle 1t over the
wheat, and turn carefully until every seed
j. completely moisiened. Old wheat will
require three pints of water to each bush
ell No lime j. required 10 dry the wheat,
and. I'm fact. would probably do more harm
than good, as II would decompose the Wit
riol. The seed wheat after being treated
with the vitrioi. may be- kept Tor days or
weeks without injury, which Is not the
case in the old plan above described.
Wheat is sometimes treated with brine TO
prevent smut. but We have always thought
il rather risky.

Of sweet nitre added TO one pint of rain
water, is the best wash for sore or iufiamed
eyes that has been tried in the West /,

PoIATo SrARCH.-To make starch from
potatoes, wash your potatoes clean. and
then pare them. Take a large CRATER and
crate them into tub OF water. After il
becomes settled drain the water Of. put
ting fresh Oh again. pouring and changing
about three times, when the starch will be
ready to dry. This Is done by spreading
1t out on paper or muslin and il will be

MAKING OLD BUTTER FaEsH.-As the
pcNatlai Aa>Sc - uuc ~ Tic ucsciOpueDt OF
an unpleasant smelling and tasting acid,
called butyrid acid, an alikali may best re-
move it. kneading such butter with lime
water, or a very diluted solution OF wash
ing soda or potash will. perhaps do IT, II
the Objectionable taste is slight, simple
water Will improve il. Frequently butter
has not been worked, washed or kneaded
enough at the outset, and still contains
sone of the huttermik, which is a rapid
cause of rapid deterioration. The most
honest and best remedy, however. we con-
slider TO be thorough working over with
fresh milk. after that with pure water.
PICKING CUCUMBERs.-The great art
in getting good pickles is to have good
vinegar TO begin with. the best Of course
being that made Of good sound cider. As
this is not always at hand it is best to
prepare q brine strong enough to bear an
egg. When the tub is full OF pickles let
the brine cover them. Then cover them
over with cabbage leaves and a board and |
weight to keep them down in the heine. |
When they are ready for use you can |
ffeshen them in warm water and put them
In . bright brass kettle, with vinegar
enough TO cover them, and scald them for
fifteen or twenty minutes, then put them
n jars and pour hot vinegar over them.
hey can easily be favored with cloves,
mace, black pepper, an onion or two, and
! little horse radish and ginger. Good
'ickles are lgrest luxury.

The CHANNEL OF COMMERCIAL rail-
road that shall lessen the time consumed
and the money spent in going between
Richmond and Washington, is want of
the people at both ends, and along the
line, that must be supplied either now or
at some future but not remote time. That
the inclinations of the people tend in that
direction is just as evident as two and two
make four. 1t has always turned out,
sooner or later, that what the people want
they will have. 1t has been well said !:
Modern commerce is mathematical. Given
the latitude and longitude of departure
and consignment, and right line pro-
duced between them, whether by land or
water will be the channel of commerce.
Any attempt to divert this trade by COM
peting lines making any angle at all will
be failure. The hypothenuse of any
trade triangle will carry the commerce
the chord of any arc will supersede the
arc.
