CURE FOR RANCID BurTER.-A wri-
ter In the journal Of Iaduaviai Progress
recommends that butter should be knead-
ed with fresh milk. and then with pure
water. lie states that by this treatment
the butter is rendered ~ fresh and pure
in flavor as when recently made. IIc
ascribes this result TO the fact that but
yric acid. TO which the rancid taste and
odor are owing. is readily soluble in
fresh milk, and thus removed.

A MACHINE FOR DARNINo STOCKINGS.
We have had sewing and knitting ma
chimes for some time, but the latest ad-
dition TO our stock is that Of n darnine-
machine, which is desc ribed by the Sci.
e,nific American as follows 1.-TWO small
plates, one stationary and the other mo.
vable, are placed one above the other.
The plates are corrugated. and between
them the holy portion OF the stocking Is
laid. Twelve longeyed pointed needles
are arranged side by side I'm q frame.
which last is carried forward so that the
needles penetrate opposite edges OF the
hole, passing in the corrugations between
the plates. Hinged just in front Of tho
plates Is an upright bar, and on this Is
cross-piece carrying twelve knobs. The
yarn Is secured 10 an end knob. and then.
with bi. OF fiat wire. pushed through the
needle eyes. Then the loop between
each two needles l. caught by tho hand
and hooked over the opposite knob, so
that each needle carries really two
threads. Now the needles are carried
back to their first position, and. in SO
doing, they draw the threads. which slip
OF the knobs through the edges Of the
fabrick. A little push forward again
brings the sharp rear edges Of The nee
dle-eye against the threads, cutting them
all at once. This is repeated until the
darn is finished, and beautifully finished
