Shaking The t. ble-ClotL.

"Morcy on us! Carrie; where did
all these pieces of bread and cheese,
cake and sandwiches, dried beef
and pie, come from? Enough to
make some hungry child meal"
Carrie looked out of the window.
1t was her father who had spoken.
He was standing on the icy pave
ment before the door regarding her
curiously.
co." said she, "it is where I
shook out the table-cloth."
"Where you shook out the table
cloth, my daughter!"
Her father was all ready for 4
walk but he turned and came back
into the house, and sat down. Car
RE knew that a lecture was coming.
Now she was not fond of lectures,
but, knowing she deserved 1t, sub
mitted with the best possible grace.
"My daughter, if you want to

how you shake your table-cloth =
Many man, despite his hard toll
and labor, had been kept a poor
man for life just because his wife
did not know how to shake the ia
BILE cloth. If You want to have
something to help the poor and
needy, the aged and infrm: and such
as are not able to take care of them
selves, whom the Savior said we
should always have with us; if you
want to have something to lay by
for sick or rainy day; if you want
to have money to buy books and
magazines, that you may be able to
store your mind with useful knowl-
edge; in short, if you want, when
you come to be woman, and be-
gin life for yourself, to have things
comfortable around you, and be in
dependent, and enjoy competence,
you must be careful how you shake
your table-clo.h."

Turnip Flavor in Milk and Butter.

A correspondent of the America,1
.4griculturist states that last winter
he fed turnips in the usual way a.
milking time to FIVE cows, until the
milk became so strong that it could
not be used. He then commenced
feeding Immediately after milking
and found that "there was not a
particle of turnip flavor i'll the milk
or butter" After time the taste
returned. On investigation he
found that one ofthe cows was near.
ly dry, and was MIXED onl ! once a
day, while she was fed with turnips
twice a day. She gave but a pint
Of milk per day, SO that when fed
in the morning she could have had
only about half a pint Of milk in her
bag; yet this received so much
taste from the turnips that it spoiled
the milk of four other cows in full
flow. To make the test complete,
he had her MIXED twice 4 day,
when the difficulty at once ceased,
and did not recur.
Evidently very small amount OF
milk in the uddcr will suffice to do
the mischief, and if drying off cows
are MIXED only once a day while
on turnip feed, their milk should
not be mixed with that from the
rest of the herd.

Points of a Good Cow.

The New England Farmer enum-
crates these as the "points" or quail
tiles of a good COW:
l. Age.-A COW is at her best
when from to 6 years old. The
best time to buy is after her second
CT third calf.
Q. Milk Veins.-These run down
toward the udder. When not visi-
BILE they can be felt with the hand
unless the animal is very fat.
3. The Udder.-It should be
broad projecting behind the legs
and extending well forward under
the belly. 1t should be soft and
thin to the touch. freshness and
thickness are not favorable signs
The full number of four teats is i'm
portant. One less than this means
a quarter less milk, for the udder is
divided into four separate eompart-
ments or glands. In the mixers
the teats stand well apart, are uni
form in size, and point downward
and outward.
4. Coat.-The skin should he
soft and the hair smooth.
5. Temper. Il Large, clear eyes
indicate quiet disposition, which
is eminently favorable to the secre-
ton and yield of milk. The gene
raj appearance Of contentment
which thoroughly good mixer
has, is very strong point in her
| favor.

1t is seldom the seasons in Iowa
are too short for sound corn crop.
But it is frequent that the planting
of corn is late, owing to the fact
that in much of the State all spring
wheat is sown; in which case, il
extra care is not taken. the sowing
Of barley, wheat, oats, flax, &c
pushes the time Of planting corn
late in May. The entire energies
of our farmers should now be exert
ed to overcome this difficulty. Do
not let cheap corn tempt any one to
raise poor corn. Raise good crops,
and if it will not sell, keep it till
stock can be raised to consume it.
Stock will pay, and let no careless
ness on the part of large number
bring dear corn when you have
none to sell.-St0te Register.

A paragraph in the Bucks Coun.
ty, Pa, Agricultural Society's re.
port on the above subject, is sug.
gcstive:
A short essay by Miss Kate Cra-
ven, of Newtown, was read in re-
Spouse to the question-"Can but
ter be packed to advantage in June
or July for winter?" Miss Craven,
was decidedly in favor Of packing
butter in early summer, when the
price is usually so low as to be I'M
profitable. Improperly put up then
it can not be surpassed. 1t must
be fresh and good, or it will not
keep well. Her recipe is: for TWEEN
ty pounds of butter, take one and a
fourth pounds of salt, one ounce
pulverized saltpeter, and small
quantity of white sugar, which
should be worked into the butter,
and left over night. Next day work
again, make into Jumps, put into a
stone vessel; and cover with brine
strong enough to bear an egg. Lay
a bag filled with salt in the vessel,
sci, and replenish when empty. Do
not remove the butter long before
it is needed. II. T. Darlington re-
marked that in the Northern coun-
ties of Pennsylvania it is customary
to pack butter in the early summer
for sale in the fall with the best
success. Captain w. Wynkoop
said the object was to find out if
butter could be packed to advantage
in the months when the price is
lowest, to be sold or used when it
is worth more. If the system can
be adopted, it may be Of great adj
vantage. Isaac Eyre thought the
practice of putting bag of salt on
the top was good, as it did not af-
feet the butter so much. Captain
Wynkoop had sometimes made fiji
teen or twenty cents pound by
packing butter in June, when there
was an over-supply.
