The Science of Churning.

Mr.. =. B. Arnold, Secretary of the
American Dairymen's Association, dis
coursed thus concerning churning, at a
late meeting of Vermont dairymen. He
analysed the operation by going back to
the structure of cream and showing what
was necess airy to be done. The fatty
matter in milk is not uniforms part of
it consists of the essential oils OF the
grasses, which correspond to the oil Of
peppermint, wintergreen, etc, of the
druggists, and which give the nutty
flavor to butter and cheese. These exist
in small quantity and in a naked and
uncom bined condition, and may be sepa-
rated from the cream by treatment with
ether The bulk of the cream consists of
minute globules of fat in the form of an
emulsion with albuminOus matter and
water, and covered with thin albumi-
nous envelope. The existence of this
envelope is denied by some investiga-
tors, but it is reality. AS an evidence
of the tendency in the secretion of milk
to coat over the globules MI. Arnold
exhibited microscopic illustration of
one large globule and several smaller
ones inside, with a portion of the envelope
broken off and Topped over on the side of
the globule. The globules Of cream con-
tain yellow and white fat-olein and
margarin-in the same envelope. To
get off the envelope and leave these little
specks of mixed fat unbroken and unal-
tered is what we desire in churning
These skins, so to call them, can be got
off in two ways; one is by wear
ing them off as with the paddles of a
rotary churn when the cream is sweet,
the other is to loosen and peel them off,
which is done by souring. The watery
part OF the envelopes separates from the
solid by souring, just as it does from the
curd Or solid part of milk, and the en-
velope shrinks and cracks and peels off
with little effort, very much as the bark
is loosened and peels from the body of a
tree by partial decay. By using a dash
churn with dasher that will fill three
fourths of the section of the churn the
cream will be subjected to a Welding
pressure at each stroke, and the sacks
are peeled off with the least injury to the
glObuies. By wearing the sacks off as
is done when a dash is used that is so
small as not to insure something of pres
sure on the cream, and as is done in most
of the 5000 patent devices, the skins
of the larger globules wear off
first because they meet with the
most friction, and the work is
done unevenly. If the churning is
continued till the small globules come"
tie larger ones will be OverchGrned, and
the emulsion become greasy. Relatively
there is often as much difference in the
size of the globules as there is between
cannon balls, musket balls, and shot; and
hence, when the work is done by wearing
off, it is done very unequally. Just
souring enough to effect coaglla-
zion is best. Too much souring pro
duces new products and Injuries the but
ter, and makes the churning more diff
cult.

Well clad in blue frock and white pnafore.

Sure yer little child, if ye have one, can't be
More better behaved or more lovin' than she.

While he passed his hand slowly DER eyeld and

Then his voice, like woman's, was tender and

How to Make an Orchard.

In commencing to make an orchard
bear in mind that it is not for day or a
year, but for lifetime, and if we make
mistakes 1t may take years to find them
our and many years more to correct them.
we should, therefore, consider carefully
what we will plant, and where and how
we VIII plant to bring the best returns.
a small orchard well tended is worth
more than large one that is neglected,
and no one should plant more than he can
care for
Select, if possible, the highest ground
on the farm for your orchard site and have
1t naturally or artifcially drained so that
water will never stand about the roots.
The soil should be well prepared by
thorough and deep blowing the fall be-
fore planting.
Having the ground selected and pre-
pared for the orchard, go to the nearest
reliable nursery and get the trees fresh
from the ground. If notconvenient to go
to the nursery, make up a club with your
nelghbors, and select the trees or send
your order to some reliable man. If you
cannot find any better way to get your
trees buy of peddler rather than go
| without, though it is much the better way
to buy direct from the man who grows
| them 9G t ".'5
Do not expose the roots to sun or air,
and as soon as you get them bury them
IN moist earth, taking out only as wanted
for planting. Never dig large, deep holes
for water to stand in under the trees, but
have the ground all we'll worked. Throw
out enough earth TO give the roots ample
room to set your trees in and fill up care
| fully with fine mellow earth, pressing it
| firmly about the roots The planting
| should be done when the ground is in
| good order for working and not too wet |;
| if dry, water when the earth is nearly
| filed in, and then fill up with dry earth
| to prevent baking.
On good soil, not too light but well
| drained, plant two or three inches deeper
| than the trees grew in the nursery. If
the soil is tenacious and not well drained
plant almost on top and ridge up to them,
leaving dead burrows for drains between
the rows, and raise the earth about the
trees three or four inches, so they will
stand deeper than they grew.
In a light, sandy, well-drained soil
plant five to six i'll 3hes deeper than the
trees grew
My experience teaches me that the best
time to plant is in the spring before the
growth starts, but it will do to plant until
the buds are fairly opened.

A Mother Dies of Grief.

AN indianapolis gentleman, who came
in from Charlottesville last evening, gives
the particulars of the death of a lady in
that city Sunday night under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. A few nights
since the ticket Office of the L., G. s. S. W.
K. X. was robbed Of large number OF
tickets. An employe saw the thieves as
they were escaping and recognized one
of them as lad by the name of O'NeiI-
Michael, he thought his first name was
and as soon as the robbery was discov-
cred lodged the information with the
authorities. On Sunday night a warrant
for the boys arrest was placed In the
hands OF couple of policemen, who pro-
ceeded without delay to the residence OF
his parents and made known the nature
of their Grand
The mother, woman about forty years
of age, and mother of siE children, one
of whom was babe, when she heard the
story, vehemently denied that her boy
could have been guilty of the crime with
which he was charged. So excited did
she become that she finally tainted away,
and on being restored to consciousness
again relapsed into a swOon. On recov-
ering from the second nervous attack
Mrs. O'Neil pleaded with the officers not
to take her son, protesting with all a
mothers power that he was guiltless.
The police at last consented to go with
the boy to the man who had given the
information, and f lie failed to identity
him he would be brought back immedi-
ately. The policemen, who were deeply
troubled by the scene, hurried away and
aroused the man, who announced that it
was the wrong boy. Inwardly rejoicing,
they started back, but before they had
proceeded far they were met by Mr..
O'Neil, who informed them that his wife
was dead-had died from the stroke of
hearing of her chiId's disgrace, as she
supposed.-IndGanapoJls Journal

Lost in the Woods.

Both your brothers and your brother
in-law are excellent at making their way
through the bush, and as each carries d
pocket compass they are in little danger
of being lost. Just before we came here
the whole settlement had to turn out in
search of a settlers wife who had gone
to look for her COW one fine afternoon
with two of her own children and two
of her neighbours, who coveted the pleas
ant walk and the chance of berry-pick-
ing. As evening came on and they did
not return much alarm was felt, and
when the night had passed it was thought
best to cali out all the men. Accordingly
twenty men were soon mustered, headed
by skillful trapper, who has been many
years here and knows the bush well.
They made a "trapper's line" which
means placing the men in straight line
at considerable distances from each other,
and so beating the bush in all directions
as they advance, shouting and firing off
their guns continually. Atlength, towards
the afternoon, the trapper himself came
upon the poor woman and the four chill
dren, not many miles from her home, sit
ting under a tree, utterly exhausted by
hunger, fatigue and incessant screaming
for help. Her account was that she had
found her cow at some distance from home,
had MIXED her, and then tried to return,
but entirely forgot the way she came and
after trying one opening after another be-
came utterly bewildered. The forest in
summer is so unvarying that nothing is
easier than to go astrav. AS night came
on, she divided the can of milk among
the poor, hungry, crying children, and at
length they all slept under large tree,
the night providentially being fine and
warm. In the morning they had renewed
their fruitless efforts, getting farther and
farther astray, till at length they had sunk
down, unable to stir from the spot where
thew were found -Nnrch AtLn7flc

A Love Story Told by Mr.. Beecher.

Tom was strapplng, healthy boy,
with great appetite. He lived up IN the
mountains among the charcoalburners
until he was nineteen. Then he went
down into the valley and hired out to
farmer Tom was a scullion and drudge,
and at first the farmer hesitated TO trust
even the hogs TO his care. But there was
a glimmering of something in him that
showed just little through his uncouth-
ness. After year or two he became
full farm laborer-a broad-shouldered,
deep-chested, powerful fellow, who made
himself clumsily useful. Well, about that
time the farmers daughter came home
from school. What revelation she was
to Tom. He never knew until then what
it was to worship anything, nor how
awkward and coarse he was. He would
have given all he had, which wasn't
much, to learn how to get into room
without hitting the door, or what to do
with his hands, or how to sit down right.
He began to change his clothes for better
ones when he came in from the days
work. and there was about him the dawn
ing of improvement. Finally the great
day came. He stood trembling before
the farmers daughter, the hard word was
snoken. and she didn't repulse him. L
think there is nothing in the life of a
man which so rouses and stirs him as
love. Tom went to the wrestling matches
and what a vim there was in him. He
read. he went to church, he wanted to see
how people acted. And when after a
good life he grew to be an old man, and
talked in trembling voice TO his grand
children, he used to say, ooh, what wife,
she was to me. Whatever | became she
made me-" The world is full of Just such

A full grown specimen of the dog
headed monkey from Abyssinia has been
presented to the Museum os the Univer-
sity of Geneva This Abyssinian mon
key is characterized by the long hair
upon his cheeks and the greater para of
his body. 1t was held in veneration by
the ancient Egyptians, and enjoyed a
certain celebrity from the rank that it
occupied in their cosmogony. It's figure
is engraved upoa the monuments OF an
cient Egypt, and there have been found
mummies of the animal well preserved.
According to Ehrenbesg, this monkey
served as the emblem for the god Thoth,
the Egyptian Hermes, or Mercury, the
mythical inventor of the arts and SCI

cially of speech and hieroglyphs, or
letters, over which he was supposed to
