Vinegar for Floating Curds.

a CORRESPONDENT of the Utica Herald
has been using vinegar for floating curds,
and thinks a better quality of cheese
can be made from this treatment than
from any other he has seen. He says
No one ever saw a floating curd made
from sour milk or milk that would sour
quickly after working was commenced.
This thought led me to the experiment
with tainted milk, as it is commonly
called, to use clean, sharp vinegar to
sour it. | work a vat of such milk the
same as good milk until the curd is hard
and tough enough to admit of running
OF the whey as closely as can be done
with siphOn, and then [ put in from a
pint TO quart of vinegar to the curd of
1000 pounds of milk and allow it to stand
long enough to spoil curd made from
good milk. The vinegar will, in five to
ten minutes, kill the offensive smell that
is always present with floating curd :"
and he adds, Il do not claim that such
milk will make the best quality of cheese,
but by such a treatment il will be better
than by any other that | have tried or
seen tried" The same result will be OBJ
tanned by using sharp, sour whey-the
whole philosophy of the matter being d
change of fermentation.
There have been comparatively few
floating curds in HerkimeT this year, the
season beng unusually cool and favor
able for the keeping of milk in good or
der both at the farm and factory.-RuraE

Gus rascal of a grandson who would even
play pranks on him, and, as he was mean
dering through the woods day before
yesterday, the youngster got into the
path before him and perched stuffed
squirrel on the limb of tree, tying it
fast As the old man came near, the
youngster showed himself and called
attention to the squirrel. The old man
looked. "Sure enough, there is a SOUR
rel, :" he remarked. BE still; I'll fetch
him" And, taking careful aim, he pulled
the trigger. When the smoke blew away,
there sat the squirrel with his tail over
his back, not in the least disturbed. The
old man loaded his gun with great care
and blaZed away again. The squirrel
stood this fire with as much equanimity
as the first. only his tail seemed to be
broken, and had fallen over his side.
The old man was nonplused He did
not, however, see his grandson, who was
rolling in commissions of laughter behind
a convenient log. He had become warmed
up to the sport and thought of nothing
else but fetching that squirrel. The third
shot cut the cord that bound the squirrel
to the tree and he fell, not with the usual
heavy thud so well known to sportsmen,
but bouncing several feet into the air.
This reused the old mans suspicious,
and going up to it he found the true
nature of the sell. His change of posi-
ton brought him in full view Of his affec-
tionate grandson, who was tearing up the
ground in his effort to laugh without
making a noise. A realizing sense of the
position crept over the old man. He
cast his eyes on the ground; they fell on
a piece of single, which he picked up,
and, approaching the convulsed boy una
wares, he atfectionately famed him a
couple of times on the seat of his
breaches This brought the youngster to
a perpendicular, and he took to his heels,
thereby stopping more loving demon
strations The boy is just ten years old,
and his grandfather declares he will at
some time be President of the United
States. He now has most unbounded
faith in the ability of that boy.-Jersey

Marshal BaZaine's Escape.

A REPORTER of the Figaro has Just in
terviewed BaZaine, and has obtained
from that hero a narrative of his escape
which in the main corresponds with the
picturesque account published by Nine.
BaZaine. He declares that his wife and
nephew did row the boat to the Island
Of st. Marguerite and take him off to
the steamer, and that the story of the
rope and the lucifer matches is quite
correct What is most astonishing is to
find the eX-Marshal cOolly relating the
part which Col. Villette played in the
attair-the Colonel who. before the court
at Grasse had declaredfhimself in per-
feet ignorance of the eX;MarshaPs inten-
tions. 1t was Col. Villette who arranged
the rope and who tossed it over the par
apet the next morning to prevent the
Warders perceiving it, and, in fact,
the aidede-camp played prominent
part in the escape. The Commandment
DOineau had not much to do with the
escape, because BaZaine was able to get
on board the steamer hired to take him off
but had the party been obliged to land
at Cannes, then Doineau was to be ready
with mules, etc, to aid BaZaine to reach
Italy. 1t seems to be more than impru-
dent on the part of the eX-Marshal to
make these revelations, for both Col
Eillette and DOineau are in the hands of
the Philistines, and then, as far as the
Colonel is concerned, one regrets to find
that he had not the boldness to speak the
truth. The two young English ladies
called Robe bleue" and Robe rose" had
nothing to do with the escape, but might
have been of service had the eX-Marshal
been obliged to fly by land. The ex-
Marshal was also indiscTeet enough to
hand to the reporter some letters written
t0.him after his escape and congratulate
iDgahim; also one to Nine. Bazaine from
Gen. de Castagny, who said, among other
touching things: He attempted the
impossible, and with the aid of God, who
knew he was innocent, he succeeded"
NJ. Louis NeuillOt also appears to have
written to Bazaine. tits rather amusing
to find how Nine. Bazainc twice Outwitted
VI. march,, the civil Governor. She de-
sired TO know the depth Of water at the
foot of the terrace, and so she dropped a
ring into the sea; the gallant NJ. March,
and her nephew descended to look for it.
and the latter was able to see that boat
could get close in. So as to learn what
length of rope would be necessary for
the descent, Nine Bazaine got one Of her
children to cry for water in order to
water her garden, and NJ march, aided
the girl to let down her wateringpOt into
the sea by means of some string. In this
way Nine. BaZaine ascertained the height
of the terrace.-PdU .udU Gazette.

Keeping Sheep in Good Condition.

The ample feed this fall ought to bring
all sheep in first-rate condition for win
ter. Both hay and grain will be high,
and, therefore, it will behoOve every
fiOCk-master to economic in every praC-
tiCable way. Nevertheless, it is not
economy to stint any animal much less
a sheep, in its food; for on plenty of
provender, carefully fed, depends the in
tegrity of the fleece.
1t matters but little whether food be
in the shape of hay or grain, for sheep
will winter perfectly and improve in
flesh on good hay alone if kept comforta-
bly, warm. Indeed, 4 per cent of the
live weight of an animal Of good hay fed
daily will not only keep an animal in
good health but furnish a full average
gain; according to the experiments of a
committee of the Board of Agriculture
of Massachusetts,, Of about two pounds
of flesh daily
In the West, hay, as a rule, is worth
more than corn; and while sheep do
well enough on hay alone they will do
far better if fed both hay and grain; and
this is also much cheaper to the farmer
than a nearly exclusive diet Of either hay
or grain.

be kept perfectly comfortable The
building where sheep are kept, whether
closed shed or stable, must be thoroughly
ventilated; for sheep, while it must be
kept in a pretty uniform temperature to
reach the best results in wool and car
cass, at the same time must have plenty
Of pure air They are essentially an
Alpine race, and only because their wool
and flesh is so necessary to man have
they become so universally dOmesticated
and widely distributed.
Ticks are often exceedingly veXatious
to tlOCk-masters. These parasites thrive
on indiferently-kept sheep. If the sheep
be fat and healthy they usually disap-
pear OF their own accord, and for two
principal reasons: one, that parasites
cannot live where much oil is present
and fat animal is always oily; another
reason is that they cannot penetrate to
the veins so easily for their sustenance.
Hence a little oiLmeal fed occasionally
is good to rid flock of these pests, since
a portion usually finds its way quickly
to and through the pores of the skin.
But if fed literally on good hay and corn
or other grain and kept comfortably
warm and with good ventilation but lit
tie trouble will be experienced from
ticks, and when shOrn the wool, from its
fine and homogeneous quality, commands
a much higher price from the expert
buyer than that of wool whose growth
has been repeatedly checked and there
fore rendered weak from irregular feed
ing. Sheep allowed to fall away from
cold or bad feeding in winter and then
by extra feeding suddenly forced into
growth will be troubled with shedding

The GOOd-Natured Dog.

OUR Newfoundland dogs name is
Donatello; which, again, is shortened to
Don in common parlance. He has all the
affectionate and excellent qualities of
his race He is the most good
natured creature | ever saw.
Nothing prOvokes him. Little dogs
may yelp at him, the cat or kit
tens may snarl and spit at him; he pays
no attention to them. A little dog
climbs on his back and lies down there;
one of the cats will lie between his legs.
But at night, when he is on guard, no
one can approach the house unchaL
lenged.
But his affection for the family is very
great. To be allowed to come into the
house and lie down EAR US is his chief
happiness. He is very fond Of my son
E, who played with him a good deal,
and when the young man went away dur
ing the war with a threemonths' regi-
ment Don was much distressed by his
absence. He walked down regularly to
the station, and stood there till a train
of cars came in, and when his friend did
not arrive in it he Event back, with a
melancholy air. to the house. But at
last the young man returned. 1t
was in the evening, and Don was
lying on the piazza. AS soon as
he saw his friend his eXultation
knew no bounds. He leaped upon him,
and ran round him, barking and showing
the widest signs OF delight. All at once
ne turned and ran up into the garden
and came back, bringing an apple, which
he laid down at the feet of his young
master. 1t was the only thing he could
think Of to do for him-and this sign of
his affection was quite pathetic.
The reason why Don thought Of the
apple was probably this: We had taught
him to go and get an apple for the horse
when so directed. We would say: Go,
Don, get an apple for poor Ruby" then
he would run up into the garden and
bring an apple, and hold it up to the
horse; and perhaps, when the horse tried
to take it, he would pull it away. After
doing this few times he would finally
lie down on his back under the horses
nose, and allow the latter to take the APP
pie from his mouth. He would also kiss
the horse on being told to do So When
we said: Don, kiss poor Ruby" he
leaped up and kissed the horses nose
