Butter.

2. M. Hall, writing to the Chicago
Tribune, offers the following instruc-
tons for making, packing and handling
butter
FJrst-Be particular to take the cream
off in the proper time, and do rot allow
it to stand long before churning, which
should be done in the cool of the day,
not failing to work out all the butter
milk while it is yet hard, after which
let it be thoroughly worked in clear
cold water until it leaves the butter
quite colorless.
SecO71d-A proper use of the right
kind of salt demands the mo careful
attention, for too much destroys the
sweet and delicate flavor and an insult.
fciency is attended with we'll known re-
suits. None should be used but Ash
tons Liverpool dairy, which is free from
carbonate of lime and all impurities
common to domestic salt, which are ia
tai to tue safe preservation of butter
and meats.
THird-The kind of packages to be
used also deserves important mention.
Secondhand ones should be invariably
avoided, for conclusions as to cleanli-
ness are commonly jumped at, and,
while jars and pals generally meet with
ready sale to the local trade, they are
entirely neglected by shippers, whose
competition has wholesome effect, and
when the market is well stocked, such
packages are of dull sale.
All things considered, the New York
covered tubs and covered ash pals, for
present use, are preferable, but, if it is
desired to be well-kept for any length
of me, tight, well-bound oak butter
irkins are Indispensable.
Be careful to pack the butter solid,
completely filling the package, keeping
the different shades of color separate,
for streakedness must be avoided.
Spread piece of clean new bleached
cotton cloth, dipped in brine, over it
neatly, tucking it in at the edges, so
that, when it is removed, it will present
an inviting appearance to the buyers.
Packages, before filling, should be
we'll soaked in strong brine, to neutral
ize any acidity in the wood, and prevent
its tendency to faint the butter.
As trifing as these points may seem,
they are all-important to the desired
end, and butter thus handled, and kept
in cool, dry place till sent to market,
always commands the highest price, af-
fording pleasure to the consignee and
satisfaction to the shipper, while neg
lect and indifference are detrimental to
all interests and fruitful source of
unwarranted complaint. If it becomes
heated, its delicate flavor is lost; so it
is advisable to ship by express during
hot weather

A hollow cylinder will bear greater
stl ain than solid one. Many of us
know by experiment what a hard pres
sure an egg will resist when placed end
wise between the hands. This curious
strength in a round but weak substance
is due to the exact, orderly arrangement
of their particles, i. e., in perfect curves.
A memorable illustration was seen in
the mock artillery set to play guard in
front of that creation of imperial within,
the ice palace of Catharine, of Russia.
Before the palace stood six cannons of
ice, and two mortars, formed like cast
pieces. The cannons were six-pound-
ers, which are commonly loaded with
three pounds of powder these, howev-
er, were loaded with a quarter of a
pound, and carried a ball of stuffed
hemp and sometimes of iron. The balls,

a board two inches in thickness the
ice of the cannon could not have been
more than three or four inches in thick
ness, and yet it resisted the force of the

Cooling Moth and Sheep.

We have repeatedly urged for years
past the importance of turning focks
of sheep and swine into orchards at the
time the young and wormy fruit is
dropping. These animals will get at
least part of them. One of the most
successful experimenter in this way is
Joseph Harris of Rochester. He gives
in a late Agriculturist some striking
proofs of the advantages of the prac-
tice. He holds the codling moth in
check in one orchard by pasturing it
with sheep. Another orchard, forty
years old, has always. been used as
hog pasture, ard the apples ara entirely
free from the codling moth. Outside
the orchard IN which the sheep run is "a
row of seven trees, which produced last
year from two to five barrels of apples
per tree, and being unprotected by ami
mails from the cOdling moth, all the
good apples from these seven trees were
put into one barrel. In his garden,
where the animals can not run, from fif
ty sorts of dwarf apples there is scarce
ly fair specimen.

Use of Horse-Flesh in France.

The committee for introducing the
use of orse-fesh into France reports
that during the first six months of 1867,
1913 horses, asses and mules were sold in
Paris, the weight of which amounted to
166, 900 kilogrammes. During the first
six months of 1870 the number of ami
mails amounted to ], 1892, or $50, 900 kilo-
grammes; while in the same period of
1873, 5,618 animals were exposed in the
markets, the flesh alone weighing $685.
$40 kilogrammes, not counting the
heart, brain, liver, tongue, ETC., which
were also used like those of beef cattle.
A similar extension of the use of horse
flesh was manifested in the provinces.
The usual price paid by the butchers
for these horses amounts to $25 to $50
each, the animals being killed only after
their period of utility has passed, and
when they are worth little or nothing.
Allowing 500 as the increased sum re-
allied from each animal in consequence
of It's conversion into food, we have the
food resources of Paris alone increased
by the amount of SOB, 100. A similar
estimate, based upon the entire number
of horses sold as food in the whole of
France, indicates that the food resources
of the country during 1873 will have
been increased to the amount of $780,
600; while the saving to the public by
the difference between the cost of horse
flesh and the more expensive kinds is,
of course, much greater.

About Bran.

Wheat bran is very much richer in phos-
phoric acid than corn bran. Wheat
contains in the whole grain SO per cent.
of phosphoric acid, and corn only SIP
per cent; but nearly the whole of the
phosphoric acid of the grain exists in
husk or bran. Thus wheat bran con-
tains nearly twenty-nine per cent. of
this valuable substance. What per
centage is in the bran of corn we have
no means of ascertaining, but it is GER
tainly less rich in phosphoric acid than
wheat bran.
Rye bran is richer still than wheat
bran, containing over thirty-four per
cent. of phosphoric acid, which is a
larger proportion than is contained in
any other article of food for stock.
Wheat bran is also far richer in lime
than corn, and is therefore better food
for poultry than the latter. If wheat
bran is preserved free from damp or
mold it will not deteriorate in quality
or keeping for any moderate length of
time. a wear for instance.

Liver and Blood Diseases.

BY K. v. PIERCE, d.
A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains q
great amount of waste material taken from
the blood When the liver becomes torpid or
congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount
of noxious substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to
every part of the system. What must be the
condition of the blood when it isreceiving and
retaining each day two and half pounds of
poison? Nature tries to work off this poison
through other channels and organs-the kid
neys, lungs, skin, ETC., but these organs be-
come over-taxed in performing this labor in
addition to their natural functions, and can
not long Withstand the pressure, but become
variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical GEN.
ter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood which passes to it from the
heart and it fails to perform its Office health
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning
which are dizziness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impairment of
memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings, and irrItability of tenn
per. The blood itself being diseased, as it
forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin,
it is so irritating and poisonous that it pro-
duces discolored brown spots, pimples,
blotches, and other eruptions, sores, boils,
carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The
bowels and other organs cannot es-
cape becoming affected, sooner or later, and
we have as the result, costiveness, piles, drop
y.
common, as bitter or bad taste in mouth, in
ternal heat, palpitation, teasing cough, I'M
steady appetite, choking sensation in throat,
bloating of stomach, pain in sides or about
shoulders or back, GOODNESS of extremities,
etc. Only few of the above symptoms are
likely to be present in any case at one time.
The liver being the great depurating or blood
cleansing organ of the system-set this great
q housekeeper of our health" at work, and
the foul corruptions, which gender in the
blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery
of life, are gradually expelled from the sys-
tenn. For this purpose my Golden Medical
with very small doses daily of my
Pleasant Purgative Pellets are pre-eminently
the articles needed. They cure every kind of
humor from the worst scrofula to the common
pimple, blotch or eruption. Great eating ul-
GERS kindly heal under their mighty curative
influence. Yirulent blood poisons that lurk
in the system are by them robbed of their ter
rors, and by their persevering and somewhat
Drotracted use the most tainted systems may
be completely renovated and built up anew.
Enlarged glands, tumors and swellings dwin-
lie away and disappear under the influence of
hese great resolvents.

Salt Brine for Lice.

In answer to many inquiries for a
remedy for lice, the Rural World states
that an application of brine, as strong
as can be made, is a certain remedy.
It will kill the lice outright, but not al
ways the nits hence a second or third
application is required to be effectual.
Hogs are greatly peste ed with lice,
and they should be destroyed. Watch
the colts and calves carefully, and if
you see any failing, look out for lice. A
close inspection will reveal hundreds of
them feeding upon the poor animal. An
on a warm day, of brine
will bring great relief. A decoction of
tobacco applied will also rid the animal
of these pests. A thorough greasing
is also remedy. Don't let the poor
animal suffer. These applications are
as good for human beings as for brutea.

q Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Haked the meadow sweet with hay"
Her clustering tresses, backward flung,
AdoWn her graceful shoulders hung.
Beneath her rustic hat of straw.
Her eyes shot glances that would thaw
An ice-berg's frozen heart or, felt
Their IRE, the SHOWS would melt
Upon yon handicapped pile, Pixies Peak.
And tEickle down his rugged cheek.
Her lips, like ripe, red cherries cleaned.
Her cheeks with health and beauty beamed.
Her hands, oh dainty brown were they,
And deity raked the new-mOwn hay.
Her form, perfection's self enthroned:
breathing Psyche, gOlden-zoned.

tear stood in his bright blue eve.
His thoughts were on the checkered past;
rive loves, i've graves, and on the last
The wild flowers scarce fortnight old
His latest, keenish anguish told.
Nor wealth, nor power, nor laws renown,
His stately home in Denver town,
His fellow-townsmen's love and praise.
The proudest fame, the greenest bays,
Held aught Of happiness for him.
FOR death, the spoiier, cold and grim,
Had snatched with all their wifely charms,
rive loving spouses from his arms.
All vretched man Five times bereft,
To him what earthly joy was left?

What elasticity is thine!
He gszed entrsnced. Straight from the skies
She seemed to his enraptured eyes,
A gift from love. from heaven sent.
To cheer this vale Of discomfort.
Such sweet simplicity such grace!
Such queenly form, such peerless face!
He gazed, he sighed his heart away,
He kueeled before her on the hay,
And breathed a tale of deathIess love
That must have moved the gods above.
She softly smiled and looked away,
sui raking up the new-mown hay,
Then paused; and grandly, like queen,
She pointed DER the meadow green
To where stalwart yeeman stood.

THROUGH all the ages of study and

quiries and speculations of philoso-

rope have sought, but sought in vain-a
vegetable non-poisonous Elixir, which,
by cleansing the blood, removing from
