A New Pan for Setting Milk.

The St. Adams, Vermont, Messenger
gives the following description Of the Com
par,ment Milk Pan and Cooler aud ex-
presses the opinion that they will soon come
into general use.
W. o. Campbell, Esq, of Montgomery
Centre, VI, has invented and patented q
large milk pan aud cooler, which seems to
us, after careful examination Of others,
to fulfil all the requisites the most perfect.
~ The pan has a partition dividing it
into a pan Of large size aud one Of small
size, thus adapting it to the varying wants
Of the dairy throughout the year The
cooler is so constructed as to secure cur.
rent Of water both under and around the
pan, and is free from the objections Of in
accessibility, and Of liability to rust, which
we so often hear raised against the Jewetl
pan. The educt Of the pan passes through
that OF the vat, aud there seems to be nc
principle that science has suggested or prac-
tice demanded, which the combined pau
aud cooler does not comply with

Keeping Cream.

Next in Importance to having milk per.
icctly pure and sweet, and free from all
animal odors, comes the matter Of keeping
the cream after it is taken of the milk. -
In the first place, the less milk there is
with the cream at the time it is set in the
cream jar, the better. A great deal Of
carclessness is shown in this matter, for be
it known that milk makes cheese, while the
cream only makes butter, aud the more
milk there is IN the cream at churning time,
the more oheese.aavorod will be the butter,
aud therefore the more likely to spoil after.
ward, unless excessively sailed. Really
pure, good butter requires very little salt,
while butter as ordinarily made, will soon
spoil unless well sailed or kept covered in
brine.
Secondly, the cream jar must be Of the
very best quality Of stone ware thick
glass would be still better, and it must
have a cover that will exclude all dust and
insects
Thirdly, the cream jar should be kept in
a place where no noxious odors or gases
can be absorbed when the jar is open to add
more cream, and also where the tompera-
ture can be kept cool and squable, say at
about sixty degrees aud lastly the cream
is to be made into butter Just as soon as il
begins to sour, aud when the jar is emptied
IL is to be thoroughly cleaned and scaldod
in boiling water beiore again used - Bos'01

The Value of a Potato.

Prof Tyndall illustrates the value of a
single potato by supposiug that every pota-
to in the world but one were destroyed
that would contain in itself the possibility
ofagain stocking the world with an invalu.
able article Of food. II one potato would
produce, when planted, only crop of ten
potatoes, in ten years the total product of
the produce Of this one potato would be
equal to ten thousand millions, which would
be sufficient to stock the whole world with
seed. The real value Of that single potato,
then, would be such that it would be better
that the city OF London or New York
should be totally destroyed than that tuber
should be lost to the world.

Preserving Summon Butter.


When butter was plenty and good in
summer time, we had more than we
could use, but we did not sen it to the
country store-keepcr at the lowest price Of
the year-prices that were ruled by the
miserable quality Of most Of the stuff we
bought for butter-nor did we buy rancid
roll or frkin butter at twice that price, the
next winter We made a brine that would
bear an egg that is, brine with salt
enough 10 it to make It's specific gravity
ABOUT the sameas an eggs The egg should
just float at the surface Of tho brine, aud
not above it. This brine was boiled aud
skinned to cleanse it Of any impurities IN
the salt, and about one tcaspooulu Of salt
petrc [loyel measured was put to two gal.
ons OF brine The brine, being put iuto
the vessel to be used, was now ready to re-
ceive the butter.
Of course the butter must be good in
all respects, or no method will preserve
it even as good as it is but this method
has the great merit Of not allowing bad
lot Of one week to SPOIL good lot Of an
other week
Roll the butter into Jumps of from one
to five pounds, and carefully wrap it up III
rag or cloth, which should be secured by
a string, Then drop it into the brine, and
keep it under with board aud light
weight on it. Next week do the same way
and so on just as long as you please Be
sure that it is kept under the brne--my
wife insists on that point, as if she thought
it was poiut Of common failure so that
repeat it.
BY this method, which am sure is moi
new, one lot Of butter is not disturbed by
the putting in or taking out of another
aud the butter can DO thus kept about as
good as it went in, ! can testify, - Coaatr5

Clover Management.
now TO PREVENT IT FROM ouowiSo TOO
COARSE.


1t is sometimes objected TO clover that
it is too coarse as feed-this being the
case where it is grown on strong ground,
making a large stalk. This can be renee
died by sowing thick, and thus getting a
fine stemmcd crop, also shorter in length,
the stalks varying from fifteen to twenty
five inches, according to the quality Of the
land, the season, and whether plaster has
been used. But the point is, to SOW thick
from ten to twelve quarts per acre, even
ly scattered on even, mellow soil, and brush
ed in if sown with spring grain. This
forms a close growth and must be cut be-
fore it lodges much, and this is generally
about the time Of towering Else, if lodg-
ed badly, and permitted TO remain so for
some time, it will partially rot and lose
much Of its quality as a feed. But harvest
ed in time aud well cured, there will be no
deterioration Of the high value which this
plant has obtained among our best dairy.
men Three tons per acre may thus be
realized and if the season is a good one,
the amount may be doubled by two cut
tings and clover should always be cut
twice, each time at about the blossoming
period. We prefer the medium size or
june clover, as it is earlier and finer stem
med than the large kind, and less apt to
lodge, and always permits Of two cuttings.
On poor land clover may be grown sue.
cessully, improving the land. But it may
be raised on the richest Of land with the
most gratifying results; only get it close
so as to have it fine stemmed, and cut it in
time.

Choosing Matching Eggs.

Eggs for Matching should be chosen Of
the average size, usually laid by the hen
they are from, any unusually large or small
being rejected. Some hens lay immensely
large eggs, and others small ones. A fat
hen will always lay small eggs, which can
only produce small and weakly chickens.
Absolute size in eggs is, therefore, Of but
little importance. Round, short eggs are
usually the best to select very long eggs,
especially if much pointed at the small
end, almost always breed birds with some
awkwardness in style of carriage. Neither
should rough shelled eggs be chosen they
usually show some arrangement Of the or.
gans and are often sterile. Smooth.shelled
eggs alone are proper for Matching. II is
a farce to suppose that the sex of bird
can be determined by the shape of the egg

Raising Cabbages.

raising cabbages tells how he managed
them
We sowed tho seed 10 hotbeds about the
first Of April, AMI by time it was warm
enough to set them, they had attained a
goodly size were in fact, as strong, thrifty
plants as | ever saw They were set out
on a cloudy, owery day. The next day we
took fine salt, and put about teaspoonful
around each plant, not minding at all if il
fell on the plant. This served to kill all
worms that might be in the soil After
the plants began to grow, stirred the ground
as often as possible, keeping it loose and
iriable As soon as these pests, the butter
fly, that lays an egg which forms the green
worm appeared, we got half pound oil
