BRINE THAT WILL PRESERVE BUTTER.

BRINE THAT WILL PRESERVE BUTTER.
Among the many devices for keeping
butter in manner that preserves the
fresh rosy favor Of new, with all its
sweetness, is the following, which is
said to be entirely successful:
"To three gallons of brine, strong
enough to bear an egg, add a quarter of
a pound of nice white sugar, and one Ia
blespOOnful Of saltpeter. Boil the brine,
and when it is cold strain carefully
Make your butter into rolls, and wrap
each separately in clean muslin cloth,
tying up with string. Pack a large
jar full, and pour in the brine until all
is submerged. This will keep good but
ter perfectly fresh and sweet for whole
year. Be careful not to put upon ICE
butter that you wish to keep for any
length Of time. In summer when tn
heat will not admit Of butter beinl
made in rolls, pack closely in small
jars, and using the same brine. allow
to entirely cover the butter to tn
depth of at least four inches. This ex
cludes the air, and answers very nearl
as well as the first method.

Coop RULES FOR MILKING.-The pro-
prietor of an extensive and successful
cheese factory in New York issues
code of rules to his patrons, from which
we select the following, which will be
useful to all concerned in the care of
cows or in the dairy interests;
Mich cows should have free access at
all times to good running water.
They should never be heated by be-
ing run, stoned or logged.
The utmost cleanliness should be OBJ
served in milking, and by no means wet
the hands in the milk while milking.
No can of milk should stand where it
will absorb the barnyard or stable Odor
or any other scent.
The milk should be strained and well
aired Immediately after having been
drawn from the cows.
Some arrangement for quickly and
effectually cooling is at all times very
desirable, and when the milk is kept al
home over night is indispensable.
Scalding all vessels used about mill
at least once a day with boiling water
and rinsing them with cold water a
night is essential.

SHEEP.-Sheep should have some bet
ter feed than the bare stubble at this
season. With some grain or mixed feed,
sheep will pick around the fields and
consume much of the rubbish. No an
imal has a more vigorous digestion than
sheep, or can more readily turn fodder
into meat and fat-but it must have
something from which it can produce
these. Not even a sheep can bring
something out of nothing. and yet many
farmers who keep few sheep, seem to
act as though they thought sheep could
do this. Those who make business of
sheep raising, know that they must have
good food and the best care, or that with
their low nervous system and small sup
ply Of blood. they 60 down very quick
| ly. A sheep has very small brain,
and but four or five pounds of blood,
and possesses no force or power to re-
sist misfortune. But having little ner.

it eats into profit. This explains why

1t is time to skim milk when the fin
gers can be drawn through the top with
out having the cream close behind it.
When cream will do this it is about ripe
enough TO churn. When cream foams
in the churn it may be cured by warm
ing. Cream should not be ehurued as
soon as taken from the milk. 1t should
be stirred and allowed to ripen all alike.
This will occur in twelve hours or So
But cream should not stand until whe,

A Monkeys Housekeeping.

The writer says: was making cake
one day, preparing for company, and
the monkey followed me into the pantry
and watched every thing did. Unfor-
tunately, dinner was announced in the
midst of my work, and left it, making
him 60 out, too, rather against his will.
l knew him too well to trust him in the
pantry alone. After dinner | returned
to my cookery. Having carefully locked
the door, l was surprised to find my pet
there before me. His attitude was ON
inous; he on the top of the barrel two
thirds full of flour, and busily occupied.
He had got hold of my egg box, broken
two or three dozen, smashing them into
the flour barrel, with all the sugar with
in reach. These he was vigorously beat

to see my materials so used up, and we

if he meant, "Look! the main opera
tions of the party are now over"
had forgotten the broken pane of glass

Before and After Marriage.

"GOu love me no longer" said a
bride of few months to her better

"Why do you say that, Puss ?'' he
asked, quietly, removing cigar from
his lips.
"You do not caress me nor call me
pet names; you no longer seek anxious

answer.

An Exciting Adventure With a Buck.

One day recently three young women,
residing near the Big Brink Pond, in
ShOhOla township, Pike County, Penn,
started to 90 berrying. They We're
obliged to cross the pond to reach the
woods. Before entering the boat they
saw something in the distance swim
ming in the water. Thinking it was a
dog, they paid no further attention to
it, but started on their way across the
pond, which is about two miles wide
After rowing for several hundred yards,
the girl who was plotting the boat saw
that what they first thought to be dog
swimming in the water was a buck,
which was coming directly toward them
Having clumsy pair of oars, it was
some time before the boat could be
turned, and then the deer had reached
to within a few yards of them. The
girls became greatly terrified, for the
deer was fast gaining on them, and from
the way it snorted and plunged, they
were satisfied it meant mischief While
the one rowed with all her might the
other two padded, thus somewhat in
creasing their speed; but the deer was
slowly gaining on them, and knowing
they could not reach the shore before
being Overtaken, they ceased rowing to
prepare for the inevitable battle. When
the deer, snorting and plunging, had
reached to within few feet of the boat
the brave girls brought down their
raised paddles upon it with such force
as to drive it under water The girls
again raised their only weapons, and as
the head rose to the surface they again
brought their paddles to bear npon it
with the same result.
When the deer again raised from the
water it seemed to realize that this was
to be the death struggle, and its eyes
cleaned like balls of fire. 1t made q
lunge, and threw its fore feet over the
side of the boat, near the oar locks.
This nearly capsized the clumsy craft,
and threw Maggie Jordan, the oldest of
the three, into the water; but as she fell
she caught the edge of the boat, and was
hauled in by one of her companions
Then the heroine at the oars, as she felt
the animals breath in her face, raised a
paddle and struck for her life, and as
the blow fell across the deer's head the
blood streamed from its nOstrils, and it
sank back helpless and seemingly dead,
but really only stunned. The girls then
started for the shore, leaving the deer
struggling between life and death in the
water.
Reaching the shore, one of the girls
ran to a small log cabin, an eighth of a
mile distant, in which lived family by
the name of Berger, and told what had
occurred. Mr.. Berger seized his rife
and went to the pond, where he found
the wounded deer yet struggling in the
water, a few rods from the shore. He
rowed out to it, and seizing it by the
antlers, cut its throat, and then tOwed
the body to the shore. The deer was
the largest ever killed in the neighbor-
hood, weighing 227 pounds.-NeO York

SEPTEMBER.

BY GEORGE ARNOLD.
Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
In meadows where the downy seeds are flying;
And soft the breeZes blow
And eddyiBg come and go
In faded gardens where the rose isdying.
Among the stubbled corn
The blIthe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden places,
And glittering insects gleam
Above the reedy stream
Where busy spiders spin their hlmy laces.
At eve, cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes in purple turning,
And pearly yapOrs lie
Along the eastern sky
Where the broad dharyest-mOon is redly burn
ing.
All. soon on field and hill
The winds shall whistle chill,
And patriarch swallows call their hocks to-
RetheT,
To fy from frost and snow,
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms of balmier weather.
The polen-dusted bees
Search for the hOney-lees
That linger in the last flowers of September,
While plaintiye mourning doves
Coo sadly to their loves
OF the dead summer they so well remember.
The cricket chirps all day.
40, fairest summer, stayw
The squirrel eyes askance the chestnuts
browning;
The wld-fOwl fly a'ar
Above the fJamy bar
And hasten southwark ere the skies are
frOwninS.
Now comes fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees
And round about my temples fondly fingers,
In gentle playfulness
Like to the soft carfss
Bestowed in happy d Iys by loving fingers.
Yet though q sense Of grief
Comes with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the summer doubly
pleasant,
In all 10Y autumn dreams
A future summer CLEANS

But you have guessed the end. Dur

on the line, the two thieves-darkening

using their own key-had left the car

night as cleverly as they had managed

him.

An Indiana Woman Burglar,

A female burglar has Just been Gagged
in Indiana whose ingenuity and daring
would be worthy of admiration were
they exercised in n different field of Ia
Dor. Her name is Nellie Spencer and
she is reported to have under her COM
mand as desperate a gang of thieves rs
ever fiourished. The latest operations
of her gang were undertaken in Evans
vile, where Nellie was so unlucky As to
get caught. She is described as young
woman about twenty-three years of age.
She is a pretty woman and wears a de
termined look upon her face. She is of
good, large figure, and her movements
are extremely graceful. Her eyes are
coal black, and a very winning smile
plays about her mouth. She wears her
hair short and curly, cOmbed back from
her forehead, and she has n very pretty
way of throwing it back by q dash of
her head She is no ordinary woman,
and has little of the timidity which
characteriZes her sex. She has discard
ed the garments OF her sex with all the
other feminine attributes, and dOnned
the clothing of the sterner sex, while
carrying out her plans. Her gang
would usually meet at two O'Clock in
the morning. The. party assigned for
the work of burglary would be assisted
by one person to hold the swag, while
the others would be posted around to
give warning. The signals were vari-
ous-sometimes a gentle rap on fence,
and again low whistle. When any
one approached, the party laid low un-
til he passed, and the business was
again resumed. No one person was Sc
lected to do the burglary, the risky
work being divided among the MEM
bers of the gang. Frequently, however,
Nellie is said to have accomplished 4
neat job single-handed. Her yalise was
found where she boarded, and among
its contents were two suits of mems
clothes.
