Milk will sour quicker if the cows ar
fed sour milk. This is not obiectionabl,
for butter making, but it is Objectionable
for cheese making
Cream from iarrow cows milk will no

mich cows. The mixed cream will max,
more butter than the cream from new miIct
cows alone, bat not as much as if the cream
is churned separately.

Cream can be raised by freezing, but this

If milk is kept at low temperature the
cream rises slowly.
The effect Of a sudden change in milk or

The more aroma in butter, the less time

In the spring would work all the cream

The cream from ordinary cows can nearly

To avoid greasy butter, churn with

Why Farmers Keep Poor.

A correspondent says "After long OBJ.
servation have come to the conclusion that
great majority of the farmers that are
poor might have made money. If you in.
quire into their business habits you will
find that they always sold the best and
kept the poorest. For instance, if they
have too many sheep on hand, they pick out
the best to be sold If you ask them why
they do SO they will say, Because they
bring twice as much as the others, and am
hard up, just now, for money. | know
that it is not good plan, and | do not 10.
tend to follow it always | think the
habit of selling the best a very poor plan
for any man, | have seen farmers in
the fall pick out their best pigs to fatten.
because they would make a few more
pounds Of pork than the others. This
call poor economy. Probably no ten of the
best would make one hundred pounds of
pork more than would have been made had
they taken ten of the poorer. BY max.
ing this one hundred pounds of pork
extra they think that much is gained
They are very much mistaken. BY revers-
ing their rule they might make ten times
that amount"

A tall, portly and dignifed citizen of the
Quaker persuasion, well known in Phila.
delphia, arrived in New York, the other
day, and having no baggage but a light
travelling satchel, was utterly oblivous
to the appeals of the hackmen as he
emerged from the railroad station.
"Feeth Ayonoo Hotel Filth Avenoo-
goin' ritup! Filth Ayenoo ?"
Broadbrim stalked right on without a
word Anotherk knight of the whip charged
down on him.

No response from the passenger and not
muscle moved at this appeal. Then there
was rush of half-a.dozen.

" Ere you are kerridge sir2"
The traveller looming up like ten.pin
among vinegar cruets, with face as placid
as pan Of milk was calmly and silently
moving away from the crowd of jarvies,
who looked after him with something like
amazement, when sudden thought seemed
to strike one, who, running after him seized
hold OF one Of the handles of his travelling
bag with -
" Deaf and Dumb Asylum, sir2 Coin

This was too much. Dignity relaxed
into laugh, and the hack driver got fare

it was noticed that Aunt Patty took unusual
pains with her dress whenever be was ex.

The Grandeur of Faith.

We recently called on lady of culture
and refinement, who, having just taken pos.
session Of new house with elegant sur.
roundings, bad suddenly been called to face
the approach of fearful disease that seemed
beyond human power to avert. With a
loving husband and winsome daughter,
with home filled with evidences of wealth
aud TASTE encircled by warm, true-hearted
friends, with everything earthly to make
life glad and joyous, we remarked, You
have everything to live for. Does it not
depress you to think that all this must be
given up if this disease is not stayed ?"
The reply, simple, earnest, truthful, was,
Why, have everything to die for !"
O,the grandeur and the beauty of that
faith which sees through the rifted clouds
the glory beyond which can say, amid
deepest darkness the morning cometh !"
that faith which, with things seen and
temporal" most beautiful and attractive,
can raise one up into full appreciation of
the things that are unseen and eternal /;
that faith which bridges over the river en-.
abling the believer to tread with firm foot
step and alone the way that leads to the
unknown land that faith which will lead
one encircled by richest earthly gifts to say,
" have eyerythingt to die for "-Adpance.

No thought ofpurity, or virture, or truth,
that God gives US to set aAoat in this world,
can ever perish. And so of the words we
speak we may utter them and they are
gone. We may never think of them again ;
but this universe is vast atmosphere of
waves, and they run on and on, and stop
and knock at the door, the ear leaving the
human heart to take it in, and on again, on,
and IT there be thought worthy to be re.
iterated, another voice takes it aud sends it
on. And il is thus that what is vile drops
as into the ocean to be buried out of sight,
and yet not lost; for the vile has made a
stain that, save by the blood of Christ, can
never be washed away; but the pure and
true lives on until its consummation finds
its home with the purified in heaven.
