BUTTERNuLK.-Persons who have not
been in the habit of drinking butter
milk consider it disagreeable, because it
is slightly acid, in consequence of the
presence of Tactic acid. There is not
much nourishment in buttermilk, but
the presence of the Tactic acid assists the
digestion of any food taken with it.
The Welsh peasants almost live upon
oat-cake and buttermilk. Invalids suf-
fering from indigestion will do well to
drink buttermilk at meal time.

ROTATION IN CRoPs.-A five years
rotation, adopted in England, for light,
loamy land, is: First year, roots
second, barley; third and fourth, clover
fifth, wheat. The advantages of the
system are, that the land gets thorough
cleaning, and mellow seed-bed is pre-
pared for the barley; and a young sod
is held to be, when broken up by single
ploughing, a good preparation for a
sound seed-bed for the ensuing wheat
crops. In the west, roots are not raised
as part of the rotatisn, but the corn
crop should be used fer the same pur-
pose that roots are in England-one of
which is, clearing the soil from weeds.

AGRICULTURAL

THE VALUE OF FINE FRUIT.-It is a
common event that fruit is found on an
overstoolSed market. Some years il is
one kind of fruit, sometimes another
but there is always a day during the
season when there was absolutely no
sale, and the fruit on hand had to be
thrown away.
But this is true only of common fruit.
There never yet was time when fine
fruit did not meet with ready sale, at
good prices. No matter how the mar
ket may be gorged, the large luscious
specimens are always sought after, and
found to yield an excellent profit to the
raiser.
The moral of all this is, that fruit
growing, in order to be good business,
should be intelligently pursued. Only
he who thoroughly understands what he
is doing can achieve excellence in any
pursuit. Any one can raise fruit. One
has but to set out strawberries or plant
orchards to get some fruit; but to get
fruit which is emphatically good, fair
knowledge of the principles and practi-
ces OF culture is desirable, and when this
is possessed no one need fear making
frult-growing pay whether in poor
seasons for fruit, or in those seasons
when SO many complain that every av-
enue to the popular demand is complete
ly glutted, and that they intend another
year to get into better business.
1t is in this as in every business, those
who understand it best succeed and in
fruit-raising the principal avenue to sue
cess is in the direction of the production
of first-class fruit.

LINE IN CRoPs.-There is said to be
carried off from the soil nine pounds of
lime in twenty-five bushels of wheat,
nine pounds in fifty bushels of oats,
and fifteen pounds in thirty y-eight bush
els of barley. There are thirty-five
pounds of lime in two tons of rye grass,
one hundred and twenty-six pounds in
two tons of clover, and one hundred and
forty pounds in twenty-five tons of
turnips, and two hundred and seventy
pounds in nine tons of potatoes. Some
soils contain abundance of lime for a
thousand years, while other soils require
an occasional application of lime as a
fertilizer.

NECESSITY OF GREEN FooD TO
FowLs.-The first requisite in the shape
OF diet is regular supply Of green food.
Here, again, fowls kept on grass will
need no attention but for birds penned
up, the daily provision of it is an abso-
Lutte necessity, though most beginners
are ignorant of it. We well remember
in our own early experience, how our
fowls died, yet we could not at first tell
why; and one fine buff Cochin cock
whose only fault was a strong vulture-
hook was, in particular, greatly regret
ted. An experienced friend let us into
the secret; and after that we had no
difficulty in keeping fowls, even where
it is often said they cannot be kept in
health-viz in yard paved with large
hagstones. The best substitute for nat
ural grass is a large turf thrown in
daily to each four or five hens; and even
in towns it is often possible to procure
this, by giving children few pence
every week to keep up regular supply.
Where turf is not allowed to be taken,
grass may be cut or pulled; but in this
case must be cut into green chaff with
shears or a chaf machine. The latter
plan is how we actually managed for
years in a yard only sixty-eight by thir-
ty-fve feet, divided into six pens; pay
ing some child few pence to bring
fresh cut grass daily, cutting it up and
mixing it with their soft meat.-Es-
change.

DELICACY OF BUTTER.-It is well
known to all dairy-women of experience
that butter, to be sweet, requires the
cleanest and most delicate handling and
care. A farmers wife says: "Of all
the products of the farm, butter is the
most liable to be tainted by noxious
odors floating in the atmosphere. Our
people laid some veal in the cellar from
which a little blood flowed out and was
neglected until it had commenced to
smell. The result was that the jar of
butter which was then packing smelled
and tasted like spoiled beef. Another
lady reader observes that there was a
pond of filthy, stagnant water few
hundred feet from their house, from
which an offensive efluvium would be
borne on the breeze directly to the milk
room, when the wind was in a certain
direction, the result of which was that
cream and butter would taste like the
disagreeable odor coming from that
pond. As soon as the pond was drained
we had no more damaged butter"

FRoM ESGIAND We have a rumor, which we
fear Is toogood to be true, that Mr.. Gladstone
intends at the forthcoming session Of Parlla-
mcnt to introduce grand, comprehensive

pal prNheSoS 50 nycr the British isieS. based
on the principle of Local .--.,ion. The de.
land Is to be divided into four sections Scot
land into two or three, and England into six.
The practical effect Of this would DO to re-
lieve Parliament Of much work that It Is now
Obliged to perform, and enable It to give
more time to the really great questions that
press upon It's attention. II is undoubtedly a
step republlCanism, and yet no better
means could In all probability be taken to
strengthen the monarchy.
