Correct Way to Sweep Carpet.

There are three ways to sweep a carpet
--one right and two wrong ways. One
wrong way is to hold the broom nearly
in front of the operator, with the handle
inclined backward toward him, then
press down as a forward thrust is given
and thus heave the heavier dirt half way
across the room while the light particles
are sent whirling about covering as it
settles, every article offurnture. Another
wrong way to sweep carpet is to move
the broom forward with heavy, drawing
stroke, by which the material to be re-
moved is pressed into the carpet rather
than worked gently along on the surface.
If either of these wrong ways is adopted,
the broom will wear out the carpet more
than it is worn by the occupants Of the
dwelling. When sweeper collects a
dust-pan half full of the nap of the carpet
every time it is swept, new one will
soon be required.
The right way to sweep is to incline the
handle little forward then give a light
drawing stroke, allowing the broom to
scarcely touch the carpet. Not one-half
the weight of the broom should be allow
ed to press on the carpet as the dirt is
moved forward. Let the dirt be moved
and rolled lightly. If generous
quantity of tea-g grounds, small bits of wet
paper, or clean and wet sawdust can be
spread over the carpet before the sweep
ing is commenced, all the fine dirt will
adhere to the wet materials. By using a
good broom, having long elastic brush,
touching the carpet lightly, it will scarce
ly require the strength of child to sweep
a large parlor in few minutes. Scarcely
one housekeeper in fifty understands how
to sweep carpet orrectly.-Science Of

To THE SUFFERING-An old retired
physician, who is candid enough to tell
the truth about progress, has declared
that the recent discovery by DIR. WALKER,
of California, of his herb remedy, VINE
GAR B1TTERs, is one of the most import
ant in medicine. He has tested them
thoroughly, in his own family, among his
friends, and upon himself; and he is driv-
en- to the conclusion that they possess
rare and unexcelled curative properties.
He says Of them: "They contain no dan
gerous drug. They never reduce the
patient-never render one liable to take
cold-never interfere with the everyday
business of life-never make their con
tinuous use condition of cure, and are
adapted to even the most delicate organ
ization. TheyHact as kindly on the tender
infant, the delicate female, or infirm old
age, as on the vigorous and athletic sys-
tenn; exercising healthful effects upon
every blood vessel-on the brain, nerves
and lymphatics-on the Blood, Bile, Gas

There is no mode of raising cream so
perfectas to separate all the cream from
the milk. 1t has been already remarked
that different parts of it rise unequally.
The larger globules meet with less resist
ance in proportion to their bulk than the
smaller ones, and hence they get to the
surface soonest. The smaller the globules,
the slower they rise; and some of them
dwindle down 10 such mlnuteness that
they would not rise through three inches
in week, if the milk could be kept
sweet that length of time. Cream will
continue to rise till the milk gets thick,
be that short or long. The best part rises
first
If milk is SKINNED every twelve hours,
and the cream of each period churned
separately, the products of the first period
will be the highest favored and
the highest colored, and the
color, quantity and flavor, of each
successive skimming will diminish to the
last, but the keeping qualities will grow
better. The 4th and 9Th skimmings will
be quite pale and insipid, but can be kept
sound a long time. Where high flavor
ed article is desired, it is not advisable to
continue the process of creaming too long.
What will rise in forty eight hours, at
sixty degrees, on milk four inches deep,
is all that is generally profitable to sepa-
rate. What comes up after that is so white
and tasteless as to do more injury, by de-
pressing the flavor and color, than it can
do good by increasing quantity.-Canada

The work begins with the causes which
nave aroused the American people
against the monopolists, and treats OF the
railroad system of the country, its growth,
actual condition and prospects. 1t then
SHOWS how this noble system has been
perverted to further the ends OF selfish
capitalists and railroad directors, who
seek gain at the expense of the eommdn1-
~; ana we are given terrible and thrill
ing account OF the crimes and frauds OF
the railroad corporations of to-day. The
author wlelds'a fearless and vigorous pen
and points out the evils which this selfish
greed has entailed upon us. he shows
now the great corporations have been
able to control the whole country; how
they have robbed the nation, and corrupt
ed our Congress, State Legislatures and
Courts o. Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists and their
outrages, the author takes up the cause
OF the wronged and oppressed farmers,
and gives us detailed statement OF the
evils from which the farming class is suf-
ferlng. He analYzes skillfully the causes
OF these evils, and shows how and by
whom the farmers are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted to history of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete &C
count of the organizations and objects of
the order is given; its laws and mode of
procedure are stated; and each feature is
explained at length
1t is decidedly the most interesting and
useful volume of the day, and as it comes
at time when the whole country is suf
fering intensely from the effects of the
evils it denounces, cannot fail to have a
tremendous sale. 1t is an ably written
work, and bold and vigorous plea in be-
half of the farmers and all who are op-
pressed and robbed by the grasping Mo-
noplies which are causing so much trou-
ble.-EGchaaage. q

Butter Making.

Milk for butter-making should be
cooled, not to make the cream rise faster,
but to prevent souring, and other changes
which would hinder the cream from get
ting up. The highest point at which
these changes can be stopped, or held in
check long enough for the cream to come
to thesurface, is the point to which milk
should be cooled. Every degree it sinks
below that point binders the dreaming
process, and prolongs the time necessary
for the milk to stand in the dairy-house.
Not to reach that point is to make the
milk ,thicken before the cream is all up,
thus diminishing the yield. The great
majority of experimenters agree in put
ting that point at sixty degrees, but varia-
tions that reach from five degrees above
to five below are made by some parties
with very fair success.
The common error in private diaries is
to allow the milk to be too warm in hot
weather. The cream will not rise per.
fectly in either case, and the resulting
butter will be imperfect. The loss sus-
tanned in failing to get all the butter that
a given quantity of milk is capable of
making is much greater than is generally
suspected. Few farmers know how
muCH milh tHey dIo tShluS W udhS
pound of butter. They seldom weigh or
measure, or even guess, at the quantity
they are using. From what we have seen,
and from facts gathered during series
of years, it appears that twenty-eight and
thirtylbs.- are usually required. Where
the facts could be got at, the amount has
varied all the way from thirty-fo down
to twenty pounds. If the practice in
Dreaming and churning could be suddenly
made so perfect as to get all the butter
from milk that is capable of yielding,
every fifth COW could be thrown out of
the dairy, and the same quantity as at
present obtained If farmers would take
little pains to know more precisely what
they are doing, such losses would not be
endured.
Creameries and butter factories usually
give us precise figures, but even they are
not always fortunate in showing the hap.
piest results. In factories recently Wis.
tied, the difference in amount required
for a pound of butter has run from
twenty-five to fifty-eight pounds, and this
difference is due, not to the milk, but tc
the different modes of managing it. In g
future number the practical operations 81

To Clean Last Years Silks-For the
remaking of last years black silks, may
be recommended an excellent mode of
cleaning. Rub each breadth carefully
with wooden cloth to get the dust from
the surface, then sponge it all off with
water in which one or two black kid
gloves have been boiled, a quart of water
for pair of gloves; iron while wet, with
extremely hot irons, on the wrong side.
For colored silks the same colored gloves
to be boiled. For this purpose it is well
to save old kid gloves Of all coIors. An
other mode tried with great success is
the same process of rubbing off the dirt
with wooden rag; then mix an equal
quantity of strong tea and vinegar, with
which the silk is washed by rubbing it
with a piece of flannel. 1t must be
made very wet. Smooth the silk
carefully, folding it, and in about fifteen
minutes iron it on the wrong side with
very hot irons. This applies only to
black silk, black ribbons, cravats, ETC.,
but might be injurious to colors.

Banking up cellars, to exclude frost,
can never be done so as to present an
ornamental appearance, and it is COM
monty very repulsive. A neat substitute
may be made by placing a lining of
boards (which may be thin lath boards, or
any thicker kind inside the cellar, oppo-
site the underpinning or part exposed,
and three inches from it, with a board
bottom. IF this is now filled with saw
dust, chaff or coal ashes, it will form a
better protection against frost than any
banking that can be given. The boards
are easily nailed into place, against
short pieces of plank or small scantling,
secured to the joists above, and extending
down as far as the underpinning goes.
Any farmer who knows how to use tools
can do this work in short time; and he
may leave the boards rough, or give the
whole neat and smooth appearance by
planning. Country Gentleman.
