CHEESE AND BUTTER coLoRINe.

We think it is pretty certain that through.
out the United Kingdom fluid annatto has
displaced nearly every other article for CIV
ing tint to cheese and butter. 1t is cho-
sen for its perfect solubility and convenience,
and for its wholesomeness. But we are IN
formed that in America, where cheese is dali
ly growing in Importance as national pro-
duct this valuable preparation is but little
known. In some parts they use carrots ex-
tensively, but generally they color cheese by
melting down roll annatto in water. Both
of these processes have drawbacks the first
is inefficient, and if enough is used to Obtain
the right color, an undesirable favor is also
communicated; by the second process good
colorinO is obtained suspended in water, but
along with it a certain organic matter which
generates gas when mixed with the cheese.
We are informed that it is very necessary
that a certain tint should be maintained for
each market; the cheese sent to London, for
instance, being different in this respect from
that consigned for Liverpool. We cannot but
think. therefore, that American druggists
would find it profitable to introduce some OF
our British preparations Of fluid annatto,
which have been so thoroughly tested. There
are many makers of acknowledged repute, the
announcements of several appearing in our
advertising pages We fud in the Journal
of the Chamber of Agriculture a description
of the best method of coloring butter; and
we should state that the preparation referred
to is the excellent fluid extract prepared by
Messrs. McMaster, Hodgson 4 Co., Of Dub
lin. We quote the process, as the hint may
be serviceable :-"The quantity required is
exceedingly small, a single tablespoonful be-
ing sufficient for about cwt. Of butter. The
best method of applying it is by adding to
the water in which the new butter is to be
washed few drops of the extract until the
required tint is obtained; and during the
process of washing out the milk, the yellow
particles, which have an affinity for oleagin-
Gus matter, pass from the water completely
over to the butter, thoroughly permeate 1t
with rich, even, and beautiful tint without
in the slightest degree altering the favor. 1t
Is sometimes added to the milk before being
ehurned, but this is a negligent and inaccu-
rate method of proeedure.'-The Chemist
and Druggist.

youth, "Yes," replied the unthinking pro-
prietor; whereupon hopeful pulled out the
cent and got the drink.

OF all the disagreeable habits the world
was ever tormented with, scolding is tha
most annoying. To hear a saw filed, tohear
steamboat whistle, to hear an ass bray, to
hear peacock scream, or TO hear an Indian
yell, is music compared with it.
Men who see into their neighbors are very
apt to be contemptuous but men who see
through them find something lying behind
every human soul which it is not for them to
sit in judgment on or attempt to sneer out Of
the order Of Gods manifold universe.

DISTANCES FOR FRUIT TREES.

This subject was discussed lately by the
Ontario Fruit Growers Association, and the
conclusion came to was this, that the most
suitable distance for apple orchards was thir-
ty feet each way; but in case of using kinds
which did not have spreading heads, such as
the Early Harvest, Duchess Of 0ldenburgh
Northern Spy, &c, these might just as well
be planted more closely, say twenty feet each
way.
Close planting should be the rule in more
northern localities and those who had prac.
ticed it together with low training had been
uniformly successful.

Much In Little,

Ammonia, or, as it is generally
called, spirits Of hartshorn, is a
powerful alkali, and dissolYcs grease
and dirt with great case. 1t has
been recommended very highly for
domestic purposes. For washing
paint, put a tcaspoonful in a quart
Of moderately hot water, dip in a
flannel cloth and then wipe of the
woodwork; no scrubbing will be
necessary. For taking grease spots
from any fabric use the ammonia
nearly pure, then lay white tlotting-
paper over the spot, then iron it
lightly. In washing lace, put about
twelve drops in a pint Of warm suds.
To clean silver, mix two teaspoon
fuls Of ammonia in Il quart Of hot
suds. Put in your silycrworc and

toothbrush for the purpose, For
cleaning hair-5rushes, etc, simply

Wrought Iron Ties.

The rapidity with which wooden
ties are destroyed in India by the
action of the climate and white ants,
has induced railroad mel in Eng
land to look for material which will
prove more durable in tropical eli
mates. This has led to the inven-
ton of M iron tie, which is described
in the following language:
The new sleeper is made up Of a
number of webs and plates Of rolled
iron, rivotcd together, and pierced
with bolt holes for the chairs. This
is estimated to save about two-thirds
of the labor of laying, and leaves but
little work to be done by native or
other labor. The direct cost isfound
to be not moro than one shilling
each above that of the best wooden
sleeper, and they are calculated to
last ten times rs long i'll tropical
countries, and three times as long III
Europe. Many eminent engineers
and railway constructors, who have
examined these Shoppers, express
great confidence in their superior
adaptation.

New England's Grain Product.

or the six States east of the Hud-
son, Vermont comes nearest to rails
ing it's own bread, producing $4,000
bushels of wheat in 1869, or about q
bushel and a peck to each inhabi-
tant. Taking the army rations of
30 ounces per day as a basis for COM
putting the consumption of bread,
it follows that Vermont raises bread
enough to supply the people of the
State thirty.seyen days, and that tc
make up the deficiency they are
obliged to purchase 3,S3G,000 bush
els per annum, Maine makes the
next best showing in the cultivation
OF wheat, producing in 1860 278,-
600 bushels, sufficient to last eleven
days, and purchasing s, 800 OOObush-
els. New Hampshire, with n de-
creNsing population, was n trine b..
hind Maine, producing l03,O0Obush-
els-a little more than a half bushel
to each inhabitant-and purchasing
4,2GO,OO0 bushels, or ten days sup
ply. Connecticut makes a poorer
showing than New Hampshire, pro-
ducing $4,000 bushels --enough to
supply the people with bread for ten
days-and purchasing 100000
bushels. Massachusetts, though
having n larger area than Connecti-
cut, raised only 34,000bush-ls, which
ground to powder, vas sufficient to
give the inhabitants Of the State
bread enough for breakfast and din
ner, but not enough for supper
The people of this Commonwealth
purchased q 100000 bushels of
wheat. Rhode Island raised 1888
bushels of wheat in 1860, and pur-
chased about 100000 bushels per
annum. The six New England
States together purchased in round
numbers from 100000 to 5O,OOO,-
900 bushels OF wheat, and quite as
much Of other grains, or in round

Jealousy, says Arthur Helps, the
well known English cssayist, is at
ouco the meanest and the most I'M
accountable Of vices. What belongs
to us we shall have, inevitably, and
what we want and have not we shall
never win by unreason. If we are
lovely we shall be loved; and if we
+ unlovely we shall not be loved,
no matter whether any one takes its
place or not. Jealousy Of tho wealth,
the social importance, or the happi-
ness Of others, is alike unaccountable
and absurd. Your own house is not
loyeller because your neighbours is
four stories high and brown stone.
If he should fail, and have to give
mp his carriage, it would only crowd
the horse cars n little more, and by
no means provide you with chaise or
buggy. What is it in human nature
that makes our poor fare seem poor.
er because our neighbor is eating
roast duck and drinking champaign?
To envy the love seems equally idle.
Hearts keep their accounts, usually,
with very tolerable fairness. We
shall receive that which we are
worthy, no more-and what is our
own by virtue Of our desert no fate
can take away.

Is INSANITY increasing? The Brit
ish Mcdicai JOmnm says no. There
is since 1871 an apparent increase.
But it is due in great measure to
more complete returns. The stand
ard Of common sense has been raised.
Many more is registered as lunatics,
who formerly passed only for MIN
compoops or rather eccentric people.
Taking all things into fair consider
alton, the evidence does not show
any serious increase of insanity,
Judged by the meaning of that word
twenty years ago. Ono element is
not considered, which in California
would be important, that insanity
takes the form of self-destruction in
it's early stages and before it is fully
developed.
