ABOUT MACKEREL.

When woman puts three mackerel tosoak
over night in a dish pan. whose sides are
eight inches high, and leaves the pan on a
stairway, she has accomplished her mission
and should go hence. This was what q Di-
vision-street woman did Friday night. Fill
cd the pan at the pump, and then left it
standing OH the steps to he stoop, while
she went into the next house 10 see how rI.a
ny buttons would be required to go down
the front of the redingote And1 mighty
important affair That was, to be sure. And
there was her husband tearing through the
house in search of a handkerchief, and no,
finding 1t, Of course. And then he rushed
OUT into the yard, wondering where on
earth that woman could be, and started down
the steps without seeing the pan, or even
dreaming that any one. could be so idiotic az
to leave 1t there. OF course he stepped on
it; or, at least, that is the superstition, as
the neighbors who were brought out by The
high dish pan, and three very demorallze(
mackerel shooting, across the garden, anC
smashing down the shrubbery. And he wa,
nice sight, was that unhappy man, whel
they got him on his feet. There wasn't
dry thread on him, and his hair was iulI O
bits OF mackerel. and enc of his shoulder
was out of joint, and his coat was split tn
whole length of the back, and he appeare,
to be out ofEis head. He was carried in tb
house by some OF the men, ard laid on
bed, while others went after a doctor. an,
sixteen women assembled in the front room
and tailed lin5whispers about the inscrutabl
ways Of PtoYidence, and what q warning thl
, was to people who never looked where the
were going DGn6~ry, NeeOs.

In his remarks upon the different wheys
sent him for analysis, DR. Yoeleker says
that Mol. bas far too much butter left in
1t, and No. 2 also contains too much, the
proportion in No. 5 being about what we
ought to have and he says thatin clesrest
samples OF whey he has found as small a
quantity of butter as three FER cent, and
that we shall! not arrive at perfection until
our whey contains no more butter than this
when it comes fresh from the curb, and we
are afraid we shall be some time before we
approach so near perfection. Upon inform
ing DR.. Yoeicker Of the difference in the
samples of the whey, he writes, ''The perfec-
ton of cheese waking in the lChedder fash
ion is to produce whey fir N which no butter
VIII atever can be made, and l am delighted
to find that you are approaching this happy
condition of the whey" e uo.-a
At the Winter NEE tirg of the Vermont
Dairymen's Association, Mr.. Wood, of POM

from one cow as from many. He said
There nee be no tear OF glutting the mark

ABOUT SELLING COTTON.

The Westville News gives the following
advice TO the planter
You have worked long and faithfully to
raise it, and has not only cost you your labor
and time, but it has cost you money, under
the present system of labor it has cost You a
great deal. Then you should be very dill
gent in saving it, and our opinion is as fast as
you get one bale ready for Market sell it. do
50 with the whole crop, you can have it all
gathered and sold by the middle ofDecember,
if the fall season is favorable.
Now we will give you some Of the reasons
why we think it should be sold immediately
Tie last few years have taught the Inter
that the long expected spring rise, a tit is
termed, seldom ever occurs, not, rhaps,
more than once in five years. Ask those who
held over cotton the past season how well it
paid, and they will tell you that they have
lost money by holding. and it has been the case
for several years past. There is large cot.
ton crop raised this year; reports are good
from almost all parts Of the cotton producing
belt; even on the WORKOUT hills Of Georgia
and the Caronas they have good crop.
Now if we can get ours gathered and on
the market before the rise in the large streams
and their tributaries takes place. we will re-
