Artificial Butter.

Experiments having demonstra-
ted that cows living on very scanty
diet still secreted milk containing
butter, it became evident that the
butter must have been prepared
from the fatty tissues of the animal.
This led to q series of experiments
on splitting up animal fats, which
have resulted in the preparation of
an artificial butter from suet. The
suet is first finely divided by circu-
lar saws in a cylinder. 1t is then
treated with water, carbonate of
potassa, and finely-divided fresh
sleeps stomachs, at temperature
of 45 G. The pepsin and heat
separate the fat, which floats on the
surface, whence it is decanted, and
when cool placed in 4 hydraulic
press, which separates the stearine
from the semi-fuid oleomargarine,
which is employed rs follows in the
preparation of the butter: so kilo. s
Of the fat, % liters Of milk and 20
liters of water are placed in the
churn; to this 100 grammes of the
soluble matter obtained from cows
udders and milk-glands is added,
together with q little anotta. The
mixture is then churned, when the
butter separates in the usual man
ner.-Scribners for February.

Hire Your Farm Hands Now.

Much difficulty is experienced by
farmers all over the West in obtain
ing competent help when most need,
ed. Repairing of fences, drawing
out manure, blowing, planting, and
other work which is imperative with
the return of spring, require men
experienced in farm work.
Invalids, who have retired to the
country for their health, disappoint-
ed statesmen, clerks and book-kcep-
ers, who find their way to rural To-
calities, AS last resort, do not usu-
ally make the most efficient tillers
of the soil. If farmers persist in
putting off employing their help I'M
til the day or week it is most need
ed, then they must content them
selves with sccond-rate hands, or
with whatever may be floating in
the labor market.
Farmers are often compelled to
pay exorbitant prices for labor in
harvest and haying, not that this
work is more laborious than some
other parts of farming, but because
there is usually at this season such
a demand for labor in the construc-
ton of railroads, canals and other
public improvements. Just now
the best of labor is obtainable, and
at fair compensation.
Farmers are not slow in taking
advantage Of the markets in what
ever they are necessitated to buy,
then why not improve the present
state of the labor market by hiring
at once the help needed for the
year.

Poultry.

Mr.. L. Wright, in his Illustrated
Book on Poultry for August, makes
the following observations upon ma
ting fowls with a view to regulating
the sex Of the issue:
We have limited that the poultry
breeder has some control over the
sexes Of his produce, and we may
repeat here moro definitely that tho
following have long been verified
by general experience as ordinary
rules, though numerous exceptions
occur:
l. fla vigorous cockerel be ma
ted with not more than three adult
hens, the cocks almost always pre-
dominate in at least the early
broods; and later this becomes I'M
certain.
9. If an adult cock be mated
with not more than three pullets,
the result is very uncertain, the one
sex being as likely to occur as the
other, but usually there is decided
PiCuCiHAuaIISC Oh viz SItC, IdtDCI
than equality.
3. If an adult cock be mated
with five or more pullets, the pullets
are generally in excess; and what
cockercls there are will be most nu-
merous in the earlier eggs.
4. Young birds or adult birds
mated together are very uncertain;
but the fewer the hens and the more
vigorous the stock, the greater the
proportion of cockerels, which are
always more numerous in the earli-
er eggs Of season than in the
later.
1t is also curious fact that
chickens Matched late in the season
are often pcrceptibly shorter legged
than the earlier birds; we have
often remarked this in our own
yard, and it has also been observed
by others. From these facts, while
nothing like certainty can be OBJ
tanned, it is manifest that the breed.
er possesses considerable power
in obtaining such results as are de-
sired.

THE FORTY-ACRE FARM.
By JOHN r YATES.

: nj thinkin, wife of neighbor Jones. that man
with stalwart arm
lie lives in peace ard plenty on a forty acre
farm;
While men are all around us, with hearts and
hands asore,
Who own two hundred acres, and still are want
ing more.
Ills is pretty little farm; pretty little house;
He has loving wife within, as quiet as \ mouse
His children play around the door-their faith
er's life to charm
Looking as neat and tidy as the tidy little farm.
No weeds are in the comfelds, no ,histles in
the oats,
The horses show good keeping by their fine and
glossy coats;
The cows within the meadow, resting meath
the becchen shade,
Learn all their gentle manners of the gentle
milking maid.
Within the fed-on Saturday--he leaves no
Graded grain
To be gathered on the morrow for fear of COM
He keeps the Sabbath holy--his children learn
And plenty fills his barn and bin after the har-
vest days.
He never has Il law suit TO take him to the
For the very simple reason, there are no line
fences down:
The bar-room in the village does not have for
him a charm
can always find my ncighbor on his forty acre
farm;
His acres are 20 very few, he plows Them very
deep,
IT'S his own hands that turn the sod-'ts his
own hands that reap;
He has place for everything, and things are in
their place;
The sunshine smiles upon his fields, content.
ment in his face.
May we not learn a lesson, wife, from prudent
neighbor Jones.
And MOTOR what we tayn't got--give vent to
signs and means?
The rich amt always happy, nor free from li(c's
alarms:
But blest are they who live content, though
small may be their farms.

VARIETIES OF PoTAToEs The
1mericam Rrdl Home says: Not
withstanding the new varieties in
troduced within few years, we
have not succeeded in supplanting
the old Peach Blow with better
kind. Yet it has several faults,
chief of which is it's late period Of
ripening and the amount of labor
required in digging it. It'll almost
impossible to get it into market in
time enough for shipment in the
fall. We want very much potato
that will keep as well as the Peach
Blow, look as well, be as fine fla
vored, yet ripen from two weeks to
a month earlier. The Harrison is
abandoned; the Peerless grows
large and hollow, is good variety
to grow for feeding hogs (when
cooked), and no new variety prom
Uses remarkably well. The Early
Rose leads on an early variety, but
it does not quite fill the place Of the
Peach Blow.
