. Queer way to Harden
Butter.

b An English butter-maker of large ex-
perlence, who is now on q visit to this
country for the purpose of looking over
u cheese and butter diaries, gives the
following information concerning q
method in practice among the best but
ter makers In England for rendering
butter firm and solid during the hot
weather
Carbonate of soda aud alum are
used for the purpose, made into pow
der. For twenty pounds of butter. one
teasp0onful of carbonate of soda and
one teaspoonful of powdered alum are
mingled together at the time Of churn.

of this powder is to make the butter
come firm and solid, and to give 1t a
clean, sweet flavor. 1t does not enter
into the butter, but Its action Is upon
the cream. and 1t passes off with the
buttermilk. The ingredients Of the
powder should not be mingled together
until required to be used, or at the time

Poultry on a Large Scale.

An old English poultry-breeder,
writing to the Rural New Yorker, says {:
Disease will not appear among any
poultry where the young have fresh,
untainted ground to live on, and where
the old birds have free range and are
not In families of more than twenty or
thirty. Put one thousand old hens In
families of about thirty, having two
ROSTERS with each family, and give to
each roost q space between 1t and the
next which will average five acres to
each, and less than two hundred acres
will be required then have the roosts
so constructed that they can be- remov-
ed easily ahd cultivate the land with
an eye to the welfare Of the fowls, and
wonderfully profitable results will fol-

her to other quarters away from all

Msssrs. Weeks g. Pata: ~Gentlemen-0ne year
ago I was seized with a severe attack Of rheuma-
tism in my right hip, to which I was subject. I
tried the various liniments and rheumatic cures,
but without the least benefit, when my son, q
druggist, suggested one Of your Collins Kohaic
Plastrs. The effect was almost magical, for, to
my grateful surprise, 1 was almost Immediately
we'll again, and was able to work upon my farm
as usual, whereas, before the application of the
plaster I could do nothing, and every step gave
me pain. A few weeks since, one year from the
first attack, the disease returned, but I am happy
to say the second plaster proved as ef1oaoious as
the first, and I I'm now we'll. My wife wishes me
to add that one plaster has cured her of O very

He vii, there learn that the breeding


He will there learn that the breeding
and rearing of stock successfully, re-
auires q knowledge of the laws Of life,
both vegetable and animal. He studies
into cause and effect learns that the
intelligent feeder requires a knowledge
Of the structure and functions of the
animal he grows ; that the food must
be adapted to the purposes intended
that as the animal has no power Of
Transforming one element Of food into
another, but can only appropriate what
IL finds ready made for Its use, the food
must contain Just such elements, and
In the proportion required to build up
the frame, the muscle, and lay on fat
that the starchy elements of food sup
ply animal heat, and that II the animal
Is exposed to O low temperature IL will
require just SO much more food to keep
1t warm, than If in a stable Of uniform
and moderate temperature. The study
of the vegetable will greatly awaken
his interest when he learns that 1t, like
animals, must be fed, and that the food
must be exactly adapted to Its wants /;
and on surveying the whole routine of
agriculture. he finds II an intellectual
process.
The interest of the children will also
excite the interest of the parent and
| farmer himself. 1t will soon cause him
to revise his opinion of book farming
He will begin to see that books are rs
necessary to the farmer as to the lawyer
and the doctor. The introduction Of
the elements Of sclentific agriculture in
to the common school will also be the
beginning of success to the agricultural
college. These studies In the common
school will develop the aptitude of the
boys fer the college course. Thousands
who would not otherwise have their at
tention turned to 1t, would here find
great delight In the study of these sci
ences. When a boy shows an aptitude
for this course he will be pointed to the
agricultural college as the place where
this taste can be gratiHed.

I did not love him. Long ago,
Instead Of Yes, gave him No.
I did not love him; but to-day
1 read his marriage notice. Pray,
Why was sad, when never yet
Has my heart known the least regret
Over that whispered No? and why,
Reading the notice, did sigh?
No analyst can guess the cause:
A woman's reason laughs at laws.
Sure, am glad TO know the wound
I gave is healed, that he has found
Loves blessedness and peace; and yet
A woman never can forget
The man who once has loved her; and
To-day 1 seem to see him stand,
With every glance a mute caress,
Still pleading for the longed-for Yes.
His early love for me is dead
Another lives in that loves stead;
And If he loves her well, as men
Should love their chosen ones, why, then
He must be glad that long ago,
Instead of Yes, gave him No.
Perhaps that is the reason why

IN THE HORSE CARS.-An observing
man, who keeps his eyes aud ears open
wherever he may chance to be, will
often meet with oddities and hear anus
ing or witty remarks worthy of being
published. Take the following as a
specimen -
"And how is yer precious health ?'
asked an old Irish woman of WELL
dressed, but rather plain-featured man,
by whose side she was riding in one of
the cars Of the Metropolitan Railroad,
few days ago. The gentleman inti-
mated that he was as well as could be
expected, if nOt'better. "And yer darlin'
wife, God bless her, is she we'll ?'i His
answer was curt, as though he din't wish
to prolOng the conversation. "Ah it's
beauty she is, and a mighty lucky
man We are to have her for wife," con-
tinued the old woman.
Our plain friends features relaxed
he liked to hear his wife's beauty
praised, especially if the commendation
proceeded from a woman. "She'll do, ,"he
answered, and he looked around the car
to see if the other passengers heard the
fiattering manner in which his wife was
spoken of. "Divil fear but what she'll
do ~ continued the old crone 'it's
many's the time I've bin at yer honOr's
house to do the washin', I've said she
aOaS too handsome intireIy for a honlely
man like ye"
The plain-featured gentleman turned
quite red in the face, as he heard a sup
pressed giggle from the lady passengers,
and before he had ridden many blocks
he suddenly thought of some business
that required his attention at the south
part of the city, and got out.

A FoRCIBLE STATEMENT.-ProbabIy
a good many have found out the fact for
themselves, but few have, if any, ever
heard it stated so forcibly as Professor
Huxley did it in a recent lecture: "That
a mans worst difficulties begin when
he is able to do as he likes. So long as
a man is struggling with obstacles, he
has an excuse for failure or shortcom-
ing; but when fortune removes them all,
and gives him the power of doing as he
thinks best, then comes the time of
trial. There is but one right, and the
possibilities Of wrong are infinite"
