To Keep milk Sweet.

In very warm weather, when it is diff
cult to preserve mi K from becoming sour
and spelling the cream, it may be kept per-
fectly sweet by scalding the new milk very
gently without boiling, and putting it away
in the earthen pan or dish in which it has
been scalded. This method is adopted in
all the large diaries in England, and partic-
ularly in -Devonshire. Cream already
SKINNED may be kept quite sweet for
twenty-four hours il scalded, but if as much
powdered loaf sugar be added as viii
sweeten it, an then scslded, it will keep in
cool place for two DAYS.

A farmer saw an advertised recipe to
prevent wells and cisterns from freez-
inc. He sent his money and received
tern on cold nights, and keep it by the
fire.
Is it all? Is there nothing more than
tilling well the generous SOIL than rising
and harvesting the increasing crops,
than feeding the improving stock To
work, to live-are these the sum OF
life?
To remove proud flesh, pulverize loaf
sugar very fine, and apply it to the part
affected. This is the new and easy
remedy, and is said to remove it entirely
without pain. 1t has been. practiced i'll
England for many years.
Texas has recently established several
cotton and wooden factories, and their
profits are said to be quite sufficient to
encourage the establishment of other en-
terprises. and also to guarantee the de-
velopment of those already started.
Pm1ey's Magazj7oe says to get rid of
mosquitoes take a few hot Goals on
a shovel or chatting dish, and burn
upon them some brown sugar in your
bedrooms and parlors, and you effectu-
ally Danish or destroy every mosquito
for the night.
When, as in case of sickness, n dull
light is wished, or when matches are
mislaid put powdered salt on the candle
till it reaches the black part of the wick.
In this way a mild and steady light may
be kept through the night by a small
piece Of candle.
Many farmers a little behindhand in
their work, will wish to make good use
of all the time This is well, but a
word or caution may not be uncalled
for For neither man nor beast, is VIC
lent of very severe labor good after a
long season Of comparative idleness.
An Australian newspaper says that
the practice has been very successfully
adopted in gardens, of sowing rows Of
common larkspur, the leaves of which
attract grasshOppers at once, and when
eaten is certain death to them, and that
thousands of grasshoppers have been
thus seen lying dead.
A Texan tells this story Of lost oppOr-
tunities, "Now, you see" said he,
land was cheap enough at one time in
Texas. | have seen the day when |
could have bought square league of
land, covered with fine grass and timber,
for pair of boots" And why didn't
you buy it?' asked his companion
''Didn't have the boots, said the Texan.
A correspondent of the Atchison,
Kan, Champion says that of the drive
of Texas cattle, this year, fully sixty
per cent, or about $780, 600 head, are
stock, short-horncd, square-built, and
well graded into the Durham. He
thinks that no better for farm or rancho
can be had than Texans crossed with Il
full blood Durham,
The Port Huron, Michigan, Times
says farmers in that vicinity have adj
opted a novel way to get rid of rancid
butter, and at the same time get three or
four times the value of good butter.
1t is to spread the butter evenly on
tleeces of wool, which are then laid in
the sun, and Of course the wool absorbs
the butter, thereby increasing the weight
of the fleece.

For a general mulch there is nothing
equal to the soil itself. A thorough
pulverizati0n of the surface is the same
as a coat of sawdust, cut straw, or any
similar fine application. There is.some
fertility, it is true, in these latter; but
then there is some enrichment secured
also by working the SOIL the labor in the
two being about equal, though the latter
can be increased; but then its benefit
from increased fertility will balance and
more than balance this. Our corn fields,
therefore, are mulched to advantage by
the use of the cultivatOr. Whether it
would pay, when this ceases, to apply a
special mulch is question. 1t will with
potatoes. The mulch, if a thick one,
will keep moist, will prevent weeds and
the crusting of the surface, thus giving
access. to air, which it is now understood
is benefit. Besides, it will keep the
ground cool-what the potatOe wants.
The best mulch for this, as well as for
shrubs and young trees Of all kinds, is
one of green grass or weeds, applied i'm
mediately after the last stirring of the
soil, and sprinkle well with leached
ashes. The ashes will draw moisture
from the air and protect the green coat
which, in turn, will protect the soil be
low. This also, will add fertility. We
have used it for several years with tie
most gratifying results. The seyerest

line growth. seeming in defiance Of the
weather We also apply it to grapes,
an with benefit.
This for summer mulching. For win
ter there needs equal protection. Grass
must have itself or the snow to protect
il. A good aftermath or well-drained
soil is sure to dc this. 1t will lessen the
leaving; and there will be considerable
fertility, furnished by the plant itself,
which is not lost but goes at once to
form pabulum for the roots, the plant
thus reproducing itself, being an add
ton to the usual growth where the
ground is fed close. Straw is a good
mulch for winter wheat. In some parts
Il is rule to apply it. You protect the
strawberry by evergreen bOughs, the best
protection, among the many, that can
be applied. 1t prevents smOthering, and
it keeps off the cold. The roots of
graprvines, shrubs and small trees should
i've covered with leaves held down by a
little soil. 1t will lessen the frost both
in intensity and in depth. The winter
Of 1912 was a test. Besides, the leaves
will add manure in the spring, and of
the right kind
