your hands press it well around the
hams in the bags; tie the bags with
strings, put on card of the year, to
show their age, and hang them up in q
garnet or some dry room, and they will
last five years, and will be better for
boiling than on the day you hung them
up. This method costs but little, and
the bags will last forty years. No flies
or bugs will trouble the hams if the
hay is we'll pressed around them; the
sweatings of the hams will be taken

flavor to the hams. The hams should
be treated in this way before the hot

How 70 MANAGE RrNAwAY HORSES. -

How TO MANAGE RUNAWAY HoRsEs.-
Always stick to your horses 50 long as
they are fast to the carriage. If a line
breaks or the bits give way. step out of
the fore end of the carriage, even when
the team may be running, take hold of
the harness and spring on the back of
one Of the animals. Once astride OF a
horse, one can reach forward. grasp the
nose, and soon check his speed. When
a horse is running toward you, as he
comes up stand SO that he will be with
in reach as he dashes past; then make
calculations to seize his reins near the
bits with one hand and to grasp his
name or the top of the names with the
other hand. A man may expect to be
carried twenty rods; but if he will hang
to the reins horse will soon stop. The
numerous accidents in consequence of
horses running away, suggest the emf
nent Importance of teaching them
the signitication of the monosylable,
"whoa." A horse is never half trained,
nor half educated, until he has learned
that whoa signifies to halt. But, in
the first place, teamsters must be edu-
Gated to employ that word at no other
time than when it is desirable to have
n team stop. When the word is used
let it be spoken with full, open and
round voice.

BUTTER CurRN1NG MADE EAsY.-Strain
the milk shallow; the more surface, the
more cream, hence large pans are the
best. Keep it in room free from jars;
do not churn in the room; keep it at an
even temperature; it must have light
and air; it is much like the rest of us,
and spoils for want of good, pure air,
but it is averse. to draughts. Watch it,
if you want good, sweet butter, and
skim when the milk is thoroughly thick
or Topped. If you skim sooner, you
will lose some cream; if later there will
be spots on it OF mold, and your butter
will not keep. After skimming your
cream into your cream pail, stir alto
gether with case-knife or spoon; a
knife is best, as it manipulates the par
ticles against the sides of the pail more
thoroughly. This process takes but a
moment, and if you do it each time
that you skim, when you come to churn
(if your milk is at proper temperature)
your butter will come in less than ten
minutes, as the particles are already
half churned.

The magnets in the Nonparcil Telegraph in

Persons ordering instruments to operate
lines of more than half a mile in length
should state the length of the line and size
to work them, in order that magnets of pro-

general use the desire to became familiar
with its operation has also increased. The
low price at which the Nonpariel is furnished
makes it no eXaggcratiOn to say that this
knowledge may be acquired by its use at less
than one fourth of what it would otherwise
