The Aldine, while issued with all the reg.
ularity, has none Of the temporary or time
ly interest characteristic Of ordinary peri
odicals. II Is an elegant miscellany OF pure
light and graceful literature and q collec-
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen OF ar.
tistic skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords a flesh
pleasure to its friends, the real value ano
beauty OF Yhe Aldine will be most appreci.
ated after IL has been bound up at the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior eheapness, Us compared with
rivals OF similar class, the Lldine is an I'M

in price or character.

KNOWLEDGE of Ones Business.

In the late address before one of our
Dairymen's Associations, the following
truths were uttered:
1T is one of the greatest mistakes OF
our farmers that, as a rule they suffer the
buyers to know more about the quality
and value of farm products than is known
by those whose labor makes them. The
buyer has tests which the farmer does not
have. | notice that when the wool-buver
comes around he takes out his glass and
sees at glance the structure OF the article
in hand, and knows more about it than he
who has toiled year in its production.
The same theory is true of seeds. The
magnifler is applied to pork to see if it is
infested with trichina | think it is true,
as n rule, that buyers OF farm products
know more about them than the producers
The man who knows the most always gets
the best OF the bargain. 1t is certain that
knowledge is power in making trade
1t can safely be put down as a rule that a
man. who for natural or artificial reasons,
can see a hundred times as much rs his
neighbors. will know the markets

To Sweeten Butter Eirkins.

Our readers who are engaged in the
manufacture of butter often experience
considerable difficulty in keeping The
tirkins sweet A failure to accomplish
this very frequently entails upon the
manufacturer Il severe loss. and to them
we present the following Information con-
cernin@ this matter which will be found
Of considerable benefit: Before packing
butter in new irhins. put them out of
doors in the vicinity Of the we'll, fill them
with water. and throw in a few handstull
of salt Let them stand three on four days.
and change the water once during that
time Butter tirkins should be made cl
white oak, and this process cl1ectually
takes ont the acid contained in that wood,
and makes the firkin sweet. If the butter
is well made and rightly packed, it will
keep good all Summer, even il the tirkin
be kept in store above ground TO cleanse
old trkins in which butterh has been packed
and left exposed some time to the air, fiji
with sour milk, and leave standing twenty
tom hours. then wash clean and scad
with brine This makes them a. good a-

Cleanse the Manger.

The managers of horses, cows and oxen.
when supplied with cut fodder and meal,
frequently become Extensively sour, in
consequence of the decomposition of the
wet meal that adheres to the corners OF
the feed boxes. This is apt to be the case
especially when animals do not lick the
corners entirely clean. If small portion
of feed is allowed to remain in the manger
only portion of warm day it will be-
come sour, and the offensive etf1uvia will
taint the entire manger, so that an animal
will often refuse to eat his accustomed
allowance, unless compelled by keen
hunger. The true way to manage managers
is TO scrape the corners clean ut least
twice per day, removing every particle OF
rejected food Then, if the manger does
not smell as sweet as butter bowl. let the
corners be washed ont with hot water,
wiped clean and a handful Of caustic
Stacked lime be sprinklcd in the manger.
If hangers are kept clean they will seldom
become Extensively sour. Ii m animal
leaves 4 portion of his feed, new mess
should never be given on the rejected
feed

To Keep Hams in Summer.

The Germantown Telegraph says:
There are q number of modes given TO
keep hams through the warm season free
from the attacks of insects. Some bag
them and whitewash the bags, which is
troublesome and somewhat expensive:
some cover them with dry wood ashes and
pack them in barrels; some pack them in
barrels and cover thoroughly with pine
shavings. But we think the best plan of
all, and certainly the least expensive with
all who have a smoke-house, and every
farmer should have q good one, is to keep
the hams hung up in the smoke-house,
which should be kept perfectly dark at all
times. We have eaten hams so kept two
wears old, and they were among the very
best we ever tasted. Uniform darkness is
complete protection against the attack
of insects

Farm, Garden and Household,
Hor.s Mule or Cattle Teams?

A correspondent, II, g.. writing to the
Country Gentleman, says
This question is largely governed by
circumstances Where there is much
work and Mrgc amount Of power en-
ploved the mule is the animal to use, as he
can be obtained cheaper, kept cheaper,
and is much longer-livcd than either the
horse OF the OK; besides, he is tougher,
less liable to injury and disease, and has
more work in him where endurance is the
test. He is therefore the animal for the
farm where economy is considered.
Hence, where farming is largely carried
on, the mule is not only the animal
wanted but he is by tar the most protita

SHEEP ON OLD MEADOWS. Mr. Ii. Sf.

the effect of sheep on meadows:

has improved both in quality and in guam

cutting the grass the past season, the hay
makers said they should think there had
been a heavy top dressing of ashes applied
the white clover was so abundant. am
now satisfied by my own experience that
these sheep are as much before cows to

Arkansas Farming.

One great peculiarity of Arkansas is the
way in which farm hands are paid. In
stead of being fed and allowed so much 4
month as wages, they are given share OF
the profit derived from the land which
they cultivate The landlord or planter
furnishes land houses, teams and tools,
while the laborer gives all his time and
supplies his own food. When the crop is
harvested and ready ior the market, it is
divided between the master and servants.
In this way an industrious and economical
farm hand. with wife and three or four
children, estimating that the family will
assist the lighter work during the busy
season. can cultivate about fifteen acres OF
cotton and five acres of corn the product
OF which can he sold in average seasons
Tor about 81 2J0 OF this sum. according
to the share system, the laborer receives
about SiO0, and the master the balance
In addition to the money thus earned, the
hand is allowed small garden Of his own,
and in the prairie districts "a range" on
which to teed his cows and hogs The
mules and oxen are the only stock that are
stall fed during the working season.

five young ones. approach the spout, the
old mother holding a straw in her mouth,
and the five little ones each held the straw,
and were led in this manner to the edge
and placed in row. The old one then
takes the first one, winding her tail around
it, letting it down to the water, then
placing it to the right in the row Of small
rats. Then she takes the one at the left,
and letting it down to drink, places it
to the right again, and so on with the
whole; after which they all take hold of
the straw, and the mother takes the
