details Of an experiment made by him to

and morning, for three days and three
nights. The stalk increased in length
four inches in three nights, and three and
a half in the three days; showing great

Origin of Aroma in Butter.

The aroma of butter has aNelN complies
origin 1t springs from certain volatile
oils which exist in the plants on which tile
animals feed Noelcler reports butter to
contain two per cent Of these oil To
these are given the names but l1in. rapr"u
and caprVolin, and from them are formed
the butyric, caproic and capryolic acids
which are the occasion OF rancidity in but
ter. The easy formation ot these acids is
one Of the greatest obstacles To the manu-
taclure of good butter But the volatile
oils in butter are not confined to three nor
tonr varieties. Every species of herb upon
the farm has more or less volatile oil
peculiar to itself, on which lis peculiar
odor and flavor depend. 1t is easy TO see
how the flavor and odor Of butter are
affected by the food the COW consumes A
cow eating peppermint INTO her blood, aud
thence into her milk where combining
with the cream. it is carried into the but
ter, giving it the flavor and aroma OF the
mint Cows do not live on Il single
variety OF herbage. Twenty different
kinds are more likely to be found in Il SIN
ole pasture than one. The mingled oils OF
lll these constitute the aroma of the butter
made from their milk, each one hay inc its
| modifying influence. though some may be
distinctly recognized, when, like onions,
garlic or cabbage. their influence is greater
than that ot all the rest
These kinds Of food furnish the food
for The dairy BY Il little attention,
most agreeable aromas are the most de-
sirable lor dairy pasture, though they may
not yield the most More people are more
pleased with the aroma from Kentucky y
blue grass than with any other; hence
blue grass is regarded as the best food
for the dairy. By u little attention,
every dairyman can determine for himself
what food is most suitable for his herd
and that little attention will impress upon
I'him the fact that if he would make clean
ilavored butter his COWS must not live on
garbage, litter or strong scented weeds.
There is another peculiarly about the
essential oils in herbage, from which the
dairyman may sometimes derive adNan-
tage. 1t is the different degrees of LIGHT
| ness they possess, the rapidity with which
their essential oils are eyaporated by heat
For instance, the pungent oil of the horse
| radlsh IS so volatile as to escape in short
time by exposing the crushed radish to
the air; the poisonous oil Of the mild par
snip and of ivy escape while the foliage is
willing; an offensive oil in green clover,
which affects butter untavorably, escapes
while it is drying, SO that the dry plant
makes a better product than the green
The aromas of tunips, cabbage, onions
etc, are heavier, and are not entirely
carried away by drying, But by heating
the treshly-drawn milk, even these oils can
IN many instances be entirely driven out

Dry Food for Horses.

The SPIRIT ofthe Times says: "We
never have believed, and never shall
believe, that chopped hay and corn
meal, saturated with water, is proper
for working horse as a general diet.
We firmly believe that the food Of a
working horse who cannot be pas
tured should be good sound oats aad
sweet hay for at least five days a week.
look at the South, where the CON-
mon run of working horses are fed on
corn. What is found there? Why,
the bigh-head-a terrible and almost
incurable complaint. We also think
that wet corn meal is the very worst
way Of feeding corn to a horse that
was ever practiced. And the chopped
wet hay is not half so good as fine,
bright timothy from the nov. We
like to hear the horse grinding up his
good timothy hay like grist-mill,
after he has finished his oats. 4 nice

SOMETHING ALL SHOULD KNOW

SOMETHING ALL SHOULD KNOW
There are many remedies for scalds
and burns; one which we have lately
seen highly recommended is an en-
brocatiOn of lime-water and linseed
oil. These simple agents combined
form thick, cream-like substance,
which effectually excludes the air from
the injured parts and allays the infam-
nation almost instantly. This rene
dy leaves no hard coat to dry on the
sores, but softens the parts and aids
nature to repair the injury in the read
lest and most expeditions manner.
The mixture may be procured in the
drug store; but if not thus accessible,
slack a lump of quick-lime in water,
and as soon as the water is clear mix
it with the oil and shake well. If the
case is urgent, use boiling water over
the lime and it will become clear in
five minutes. The preparation may
be kept ready bottled in the house, and
it will be as good when six months
old as when first made.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

The Christmas tree is doubtless Of
German origin. Though in its pres
ent form it is comparatively of recent
date, yet its pagan prototype enjoyed
a very high antiquity. The early
Germans conceived of the world as
great tree whose roots were hidden
deep under the earth, but whose top,
fourishing in the Walhalla, the old
German paradise, nourished the she
goat upon whose milk fallen heroes
restored themselves. Yggdnafil was
the name Of this tree, and its memory
was still green long after Christianity
had been introduced into Germany,
when much of its symbolic character
was transferred to the Christmas tree.
At first fitted up during the Twelve
Nights in honor Of Z, rchta, the god
dess of spring, it was subsequently
transferred to the birthday of Christ,
who, as the Goldman, is become the
resurrection and the life" The ever
green fir tree, an emblem of spring
time, became the symbol of an eter-
nal spring. The burning lights were
to adumbrate Him who is the light
of the world" and the gifts to remind
us that God, in giving His only Son
for the worlds redemption, conferred
upon us the most priceless of all gifts.
This symbolism extended also to the
most usual of Christmas presents, ap-
pies and nuts; the former being con-
sidered as an emblem Of youth, the
latter as profound symbol of spring,
while the "bOy's legs relate to Sat
urn, who devoured his own children,
and the KroPfeI to the Thunderstorm
of Thor.-Harper's Magazine.

Winter Food for Fowls.

1t is hardly possible to speak too
emphatically of the Importance ofpro-
viding a winter diet that shall, to a
certain extent, take the place Of and
resemble the food eaten in summer.
And in doing this we must remember
that in summer the fowl obtains, by
her own exertions, many articles that
We must endeavor to supply. The
grain that was furnished throughout
the summer was sufficient, indeed, be-
cause it was supplemented by insects,
worms, grass and the like. In winter
the snow and frost cut off all these
sources ofsupply, and the breeder who
thinks that in allowing an unlimited
Quantity ofgrain, leaving open barrels
Of corn, ETC., he has done his whole
duty to his flock, is very much mis-
taken. We cannot, indeed, supply
the exact articles eaten in summer, but
in place of worms, grubs and grass
hoppers, we can give scraps of meat,
and in place of the vegetables we can
furnish boiled potatoes, raw cabbages,
onions ane the like. If the house
hold department is managed to this
end, the women understanding the
matter, this diet can be provided with
out much extra trouble or COST
