According to the Poona Observer,
recent experiments made in India
have proved that roasted coffee is
one of the most powerful disinfect-
ants, not only rendering animal and
vegetable ctfiuvia innoxious, but
actually destroying them. A room
in which meat in an advanced state
Of decomposition had been kept for
some time was instantly deprived
Of all smell on an open coffee-roast-
cr being carried through it contain
ing a pound of newly roasted coffee.
In another room the effivium occa-
stoned by the cleaning out of a cess
pool was completely removed with
in half a minute by the use of three
ounces of fresh coffee. The way
coffee is used as disinfectant is by
drying the raw bean, then pounding
it in a mortar, and afterwards roast
ing the powder on a moderately
heated iron plate until it assumes a
dark hue. The coffee must, howev-
er, be pure, as chickory possesses
no deodoriZing power.

Cutting Grass in Blossom.

A farmer of thirty years. standing
informs the New York Tribune that
he has tried cutting grass, for this
length of time, while in blossom
and at various subsequent stages of
growth, and he invariably found
that he got as much in bulk by the
early as by the later cuttings, while
the quality Of the former was great
ly superior, as shown by its effects
upon the stock. 1t made more
bone, more butter, cheese, beef and
veal. But to the end that hayma-
king may be finished before the
grass is badly injured by standing
too long, he would start the mower
a day or two before the period Of
full bloom.

Working Butter"

When we have succeeded in ma
king butter, it is only half made
A very important part Of the opera
ton yet remains to be done. The
idea that butter can be "worked''
too much, may be new to many
There was time in my trial days
when it was so to me; but the
Western Rural truly says, "thcrc
is n golden mean," and it were well
if we could all hold fast to it. Some
people think that butter, like bread,
needs great deal of kneading.-
There never was i more mistaken
notion, for the life of butter, so to
speak, may be beaten out, and in
stead Of the firm, compact, sweetly-
favored article so much desired, it
will become flat, oily, oleaginous
mass, only fit for lubricating any
thing but the palate.
The question often arises whether
water should be used in separating
the milk from the butter. Some
have answered in the negative;-
others in the affirmative. unhesi-
tatingly take the affirmative, and
think there is no way of securing
the desired end so efectually as by
using cold water-not icc-cold-but
the common spring or well water
If the butter is hard it requires less
working" but the milk must all be
worked out or removed, and that
with as little manipulation as posi-
bic. No more working ever should
be used than is absolutely neces-
sary.
Some butter-makers use an ounce
Of salt to the pound, but the more
fastidious prefer less quantity. If
right in any other respect, one-half
ounce of salt is sufficient to preserve
one pound of butter from rancidity.
l am rather suspicious of that but
ter which requires a prepondcrance
of salt, in order to preserve it. /
have often seen it clad in coat Of
mail, which, if it had been iron in
stead OF salt, would have effcctually
preserved it from any harm.
After the salt is thoroughly incor-
porated in the butter, it should be
set in a cool place from twelve to
twenty-four hours. l usually let
mine stand twenty-four, as | think it
takes that length of time to we'll
dissolve the salt. l then make it
into balls or rolls, if not required
for packing. For our home market
l use halfpound stamp or press
which is very much liked for COM
mon table use. l have always used
the common dasher churn in pref
GRANGE to any of the Improved pat
cnts," but from what have heard
and seen Of the Blanchard churn, /
should pronounce it decided inn
provcment, especially for large dai-
rics.-Mrs. s. e. Robinson IN Vest

Honey bees are governed by an
instinct, and not by an art. They
never deviate from the course they
were created in. The first comb
they ever built was rs perfect rs at
the present day; no art has improv-
ed the shape or size. One bee lays
all the eggs, while the others raise
the young and protect them; each
bee does it's part in the labor Of
gathering in the store and nursing
the young; and have noticed for
several years past their mode of
gathering pollen or bee bread. 1t
is this: When a bee goes out after
food it alights on some kind Of a
flower and gathers part Of it's load;
and then goes to another Of the same
kind and perhaps \ third, to obtain
load. Another bee goes out, and
it alights on another kind Of flower,
it keeps to that kind till it gets a
load. But how is this known? You
go to the hives and watch them as
they come in; some have yellow
pollen on their legs; others have
light color; others have dark; but
no bee has two colors on his legs.
IT, you see any You will see more
than have, for I never did, and |
have supposed that they slowed it
in differen: cells for change of food.
The other day, in overhauling a
hive, / broke out a new piece of
comb and found the different colors
in different cells, which confirmed
my belief, for l suppose they like a
change Of food as well as humans.
Another curiosity is their coming
out and alighting before going off;
for among the hundreds that |
have hived I never had one swarm
leave direct from the hive. Anoth-
CIR curious thing is their rearing the
males and nursing them 50 tendcrly,
and after they become useless they
destroy them. But instinct has di-
rected them to do it. Another GU
rious thing is that when they get to
be too numerous the mother bee
should call out a part Of the brood
to 90 with her and leave the others
to take care Of the young. Why
not call all out to 60 with her? Be-
cause instinct has ordered it other
wise. Certain ones go out with her,
while others are coming in with
stores for future use. A certain
part of them don't seem to have any
inclination to follow the mother bee,
nor do they mourn her loss, for an.
other is provided s. ". Cote, IN
