TO KEEP BUTTER FOR WINTER USE

Make the butter into small balls,
rolls if desired. Wrap each one in a
piece of cotton cloth to keep it free
from dust, pack them closely in jar
or firkin, put plate on the top, and
cover the whole with good strong
brine. The brine must be boiled and
strained and stand until it is perfect
ly cold before it is poured over the
butter. This is some trouble in the
beginning, but a person will appreci-
ate it when they come to use it. It
is all ready for the table in nice
shape, at a moments notice, and the
last pot will be as fresh and sweet as
the first, because it cannot come in
contact with the air if kept covered
with brine. A FARMERS WIFE.

FOR THE LADIES.

Gold arrows an inch long are
fashionable as earrings.
-Sashes are not worn as long as
they were. Much Of the material il
used to form huge bow or loop a
the side.
There is conspicuous absence Of
over-skirts in full dress; they seem to
be reserved to wear with jackets a.
outdoor costumes.
Scarlet is one of the most fashion.
able of this seasons colors. 1t is
shown in the new bonnets, and hand.
somely blended in many Of the new
promenade costumes.
Street dresees-walking suits
should not touch the ground by two
inches all round. This new fashion
does away with the atfectation Of
catching up the skirts on the left eide
to cross imaginary mud-puddles.
The long apron fronts of over.
skirts are now the objective points
for trimming. There is a fancy for
trimming these aprons with three
curved or horizontal rows that give
the effect of borders for three aprons.
Feminine bonnets and hats are
very similar. The hat has a long
veil twisted around the crown, and
the two ends crossed at the back OF
the neck and tied in front like a
scarf. White or blue are the colors
in wells.

with proper management, the crude

ing only a little water at a time
and changing often; a soft fan
mel cloth or sponge is better than
cotton or a brush a piece OF
pine wood with a sharp point
should be used for the corners.
Where the paint is stained with
smoke, some ashes or potash lye
may be used. A soft linen tow
ell should be used for wiping dry,
Glass should not be cleaned with
soap; a little paste ofwhiting and
water should be rubbed over,
and with another cloth it shsuld
be rinsed off, and the glass pol
lshed with a soft linen or old
silk handkerchief. Alcohol Or
benzine is a good thing to clean
glass, and clean paper is proba-
bly, better than any cloth, sponge
or towel; dry paper leaves an
excellent polish. Marble may
be cleaned with a mixture of two
parts of common soda, one part
of pumice stone, and one of
chalk, finely powdered, and tied
up in a fine muslin rag the mar
BILE is wetted with water, the
powder shaken ever it, and it is
rubbed with a soft cloth until
clean, then washed in clean wa
ter and dried with soft linen or
silk handkerchief. No soap or
potash should be allowed on
marble. A good furniture pol
ish is made by melting two oun-
ces Of beeswax, one ounce of tur-
pentine and one dram OF pow
dered rosin together, with a gen
tie heat, and rubbing on with
cold, with a soft flannel cloth,
and polishing with a soft linen or
silk cloth. If Tor mahogany, a
little Indian red may be mixed
in. Cracks in furniture may be
filled with putty, mixed with In
dsan red or burnt umber, to get
the desired shade. When dry it
xill take an equal polish with
the wood.-Christain Leader.

Trees as Historians of the Past.


Mr.. Charles Gros has recently
communicated a note to the
French Academy of Sciences on
the study of the yearly rings,
shown when the trunk of tree
is transversely divided. These
layers,by which, las is well known,
the age of the tree may be de-
termined, do not diminish in re-
lative thickness by a constant
law. In view of this, Mr.. Gros
seeks a cause for the irregular
ity, and, it seems, has arrived at.
the conclusion that the data,
mean and extreme, OF meteoro-
logical phenomena, when known
and tabulated, might be compar
ed year by year with the annual
igneous layers formed during
such periods in many different
varieties of trees. From the com
parison, it is not impossible that
some interesting ideas relative
to the laws of development Of
trees may be obtained. But,
moreover: these laws, once estab-
lished, the trees in their turn
might become precious collec-
tons of meteorological evidence
for places and times where oh
seryations cannot be made. Les
Nondes suggests rather a strik-
ing example of what might be
learned from ancient trees, as
follows: '.Snppsse that there
should be found in Egypt a very
old, though living, tree, the orig
in of which dated back to the
time of Joseph. If, OH cutting
the trunk, the rings correspond
ing to that period showed seven
thick and seven thin layers, there
would be tangible evidence of
the truth of the Scriptural tradi-
tion of the seven years of plenty
and seven years of famine, be-
sides of the immediate causes of
humidity, temperature, etc., to
which such phenomena might be
due.n

Flax Cultivation in Nebraska

1t was once supposed that fax
would only thrive on the sea
shore and hence Holland had
what may be regarded as great
monopoly in the growth of flax,
and the manufacture of linens.
But the plant flourishes in Ne
braska and the soil is toe rich
for even this exhausting crop ca
silly to affect it. The cultivation
Of the crop is therefore yearly
increasing-at present with a
view to the oil expressed from the
seed, though (as there is now no
linen manufacture worthy of the
name in the State it may be ul-
timately to provide fibre for the
mills. Certainly the people of
Nebraska may look to this con-
clusion and settlers in the State
ought not to forget that flax NAV
be made profitable crop.
At recent meeting of the
Farmers Association, of Lancas.
ter County, held at Lincoln, 1.-THE
county seat and capital of the
State, discussion took place on
the probabilities of flax crop
for this year, and it was stated
that some eastern gentlemen had
offered to build an oil mill if the
farmers would guarantee suf-
ficient quantity of the raw mate
rial. The correspondent who
sends this item of information in
the interests of farmers moving
west, says that in Ohio, the flax
crop used to be a most profitable
one. Half a bushel of seed to
the acre would produce from 10
to 20 bushels, worth $3.50 per
bushel. Taking the yield at 10
bushels, the seed was worth SIS,
90 per acre and allowing $500
per acre for expences, (which
included the delivery of the seed
to the mill, the net profit to the
farmer was 800 per acre. The
straw also was worth 5000 perl

and carry it with the adhering
earth, to the place where you de-
sire it to grow. The ground and
the whole should be previously
prepared, the latter just about
large enough to admit the ball
of earth without allowing it to
fall to pieces; slip 1T from the
shovel carefully. draw the loose
earth up with ycur foot, press it
down slightly, and the work is
done. In general, the young
plant will not wilt, even if the
weather be warm, and will con
tinue to grow as if nothing had
happened to it. Perhaps one in
ten may wilt. But it is not an
alarming symptom at all it will
almost always recover at night

Farm and Household.
Transplanting Raspberries in
Spring.

Most persons who attempt to
cultivate such raspberries as pro-
pagate by suckers, allow the
suckers to stand during the cur
rent season, under the mistaken
impression that they cannot be
safely removed until the seasons
growth is completed. Then they
are transplanted, cut back, and
must grow another season before
fruiting. The result is, that two
years slapse from the time the
young plant appears, before it
fruits. But there is a better way
than this. In the spring, when
the sucker appears an inch or
TWO above ground, take a round
pointed shovel and cut it out,

players to bring out a panto-
mime Of his contest with Count

the court. The court were de-
lighted with the play, for the ter
rible mallet of Maillard, and the
