Lying and Swearing.

Old Parson s., of Connecticut, was
a particular kind of person. One day
he had a man blowing in his field and
he went ont to see how the work was
getting on. The ground was very
stony, and every time the pillow struck
a stone the man took occasion to swear
a little.
Look here cried Parson S.. 'Eyou
must not swear that way III my field !"
"Well, I reckon you'd swear too, :"
said the man, IF you had to plough
such stony field as this
mot bit of it, " said Mr.. S. "Just
let me show you -
SO the parson took hold of the plow,
but he very soon had considerable
trouble with the stones. AS stone after
stone caught the ploughshare, Mr.. S.
calculated
Well, L never saw the like !"
And this he repeated every time a
stone stopped his onward way. As soon
as he had plowed around once he stop
ped and said to the man
"There, now You see | can pillow
without swearing"
But l guess it's pretty near as bad
to lie" answered the man, " and yorl
told dozens o lies. Every time the
pillow struck stone, you said, | never
saw the like, when the same thing
happened minute before ~

in tbs preservation of butter. In one
town, among the butter factories of
Orange Co., N Y, the account of which
was given in last years Rural New York
er, we referred particularly to these pre-.
servatives, naming the preseryative to be
used as thought best by Orange Co. dairy
men. We DOW present the Milk Journals
formula. To ten ounces of fine salt add
two ounces of the best brown sugar. The
different ingredients are to be evenly
min gled together, and an ounce of this
mixture used for every pound weight of
butter and well worked liz. Butter SO
treated, if closely packed aud kept in a
cool, well ventilated place, it is said will
keep sound for several years.
BRINING BUTTER.-Butter is sometimes
effectually preserved from the summer to
the winter time by mixing it with salt and
by merely enclosing Jumps of it in can
vass wrappers and putting these in Jars
containing a quantity of brine. The brine
does not enter into the substance of the
butter or render it in any way disagree
able. In the preparation of brine for but
ter we find it best to heat the brine scald-
ing hot, skimming it and then allowing it
to cool and settle, pouring off the clear,
cold brine which is then fit for use.
Another rule is to mix one ounce of a
finely powdered white sugar with one
ounce saltpetre and two ounces large
grained Cheshire salt, and after incorpor-
ating them we'll together one ounce of the
compound is used to every pound of butter.
The mixture must be well worked into the
butter, which is then closely packed into
clean earthen crooks or Jars These are
then set aside and kept in very cool place,
and the butter, it is asserted, will remain
in good condition for years, and has borne
Il voyage to the East Indies aud still been
serviceable. Butter thus packed, it is rec
commended, should stand untouched for
two or three weeks after being packed, or
it will taste rather unpalatable, but after
that time it is said to acquire a fire mar
rowy flavor.
The French method is to take one part
sugar, one part inter, and two parts salt
and reduce them by grinding 70 fine pow
into about two and a quarter pounds of
butter.
RESTORING RANCID BUTTER-Rancidity
Is caused by the presence of butyric acid,
and such butter is we'll washed with good
new milk, III which substance the acid is
freely soluble. After this treatment it is
to be washed with cold spring water.
Another plan is to beat up a quarter of
a pound of good, fresh lime, in pail of
water, and after allowing it to stand for an
hour, until the impurities have settled
from off the clear portion, wash the rancid
butter in that.
Other processes of preserving butter are
given, but we heve selected those which
seemed most practical and useful, adding
remarks Of our own when deemed neces-
sary.-Rurot New Yorker.

SaUcp from Rabbits.

The rabbit certainly differs from the
hare in that he can scarcely be said to have
''many friends His voracity and uhiquty
are apt, especially lust now, TO be brought
up against HIM, and sometimes his actual
determination is mooted. The sporting
correspondent of the Temps has, however,
a good word FOR him and notices the dictum
of Louis XIV: Considering the damage
done to your land by rabbits, we advise
you to kill them, more especially ao ex.
cellont sauces can be made of their flesh :"
In this guise, according to his friend Of the
Temps, he trIumphed over the asceticism
of n prior of the Chartreuse This digni-
tary, being invited to dinner by the Vice
legate of Avignon, had accepted, on Goa
dltiOn that nothing unsuitable to fast-day
should appear ut the table. After the
soup came magnificent trout, the sauce
ct which was most agreeable to the senses
of smell and sight The prior was about
to begin upon it with visible satisfaction,
when small monk in his train whispered
to him, " Do not touchit. father saw that
sauce being made. Two rabbits and "a large
piece OF ham were put into it. | shudder
ut the recollection !" My brother" re-
piled the prior, " will you always fall into
your besetting sin? / have told you a
hundred times, you are too curious. The
kitchen was not your place. Besides, you
are short,sighted and took onions for rab-
bits and carrot for ham," The young
monk thought he really must have been
mistaken, and the good prior resolutely
disposed of the trout, sauce and ali.

BURIED IN A WELL.
Long Seven Hours Under Ground.

IfoHi tut Dttroit
-Four or five days ago a man named
Theodore Black, a professional we'll
digger, took the job of digging well
for man named Thomas Foster, living
III Springwells. Black had to assist him
his son Henry and man named Hew-
son, they to draw up the dirt on a
windlass rs he shoveled it into bucket
below. The well was down thirteen
feet Tuesday night, with about eigh-
teen inches of water in it. The water
was not pure, smelling badly and tast
ing worse, and Black calculated to bail
1t out yesterday and see if he could get
down to a purer vein. The soil for the
last seven feet had been such that he
put in a few board to keep it from cav
ing, but would not take the
pains which his boy and the
man Hewson desired A slight cave
occurred Tuesday afternoon, and Black
agreed to take additional precautions
yesterday before commencing the work
of bailing out At SIX O'Clock Tuesday
evening Hewson went home, and Black
sent his son after meat for breakfast
The boy saw his father put on his coat,
as if ready to go, and then went on his
errand. 1t seems that Black had left
shovel in the well which he wanted to
take home with him, and he went back
and descended by the rope. He was
attempting to toss out his shovel when
it struck one of the props, and the next
thing Black knew was he was sitting
down, the water up to his arms, crowd
ed by the dirt so that he could not
move Two of the boards had slanted
across the well SO as to hold most of
rested on one of his feet, and the other
on his ankle.
Young Black went home about seven
O'Clock, and no anxiety was felt for the
father until about ten, when, as he did
not come home, the son went off and
searched several saloons for him. 1t
was about eleven o'clock before he went
to the well, and it was half an hour
after that before he could collect force
of diggers. They shouted to Black,
and he shouted back, telling them how
he was situated, and that they must
hurry, as the water was up to his should
ers The men had to work cautiously,
putting i'll boards and props as they
proceeded, and it was little after one
O'Clock before the victim was hauled up
The water was not an inch from his
mouth when they came to him, and he
would have been drowned in half an
hour more. His leg was SO badly in
lured by the weight of the dirt on the
board, that he could not use it, and he
will not be able to walk for week to
