How to Make Butter Hard in Summer.

An English butter maker of large ex-
perience, who is now on q visit to this
country for the purpose of looking over
our cheese and butter diaries, gives us
the following information concerning a
method in practice among the best but
termakers of England for hardening or
rendering butter firm and solid during
hot weather: Carbonate and soda and
alum are used for the purpose made into
a powder. For twenty pounds of butter
one tesspoonful of carbonate of soda and
one teaspoonful of powdered alum are
mingled together at the time of churning
and put into the cream. The effect Of
this powder is to make the butter come
firm and solid, and to give it a clean,
sweet flavor. 1t does not enter into the
butter, but its action is upon the cream,
and it passes off with the buttermilk.
The Ingredients of the powder should not
be mingled together until required to be
used or at the time the cream is in the
churn ready for churning.- Waterto,cn

Fail Flowing.

A correspondent gives his reasons
for fall blowing as follows: By expert
ence and observation 1 am satisfied that
all soils ought to be plowed in the fall,
especially green sward for several rea.
sons. First, the sod rots during the win
ter, and thus supplies the soil with nutri-
ment ready prepared for the young crop.
Second, the Jumps become pulyeriz ed
sooner, permitting the land to be stocked
down in better shape. Third, team
can work much easier in the tall, and the
farmer is less hurried. The action of the
atmosphere upon the soil for longer
time is also beneficial" A correspon-
dent of an exchange, discussing the same
topic says: 81 have tried the fall plow-
ing on light and heavy soils. On light
soils which never produce cakes or clods,
it does we'll. On heavy soils it is COM
monty detrimental. Iffollowed by dry
winter it sometimes succeeds, but COM
monty it produces hard, cloddy soil,
which is long in becoming mellow. l
have known this hardness to last full
year afterward. Even when the land
was thoroughly and regularly drained,
this unfavorable result followed. 1t is
therefore necessary to use caution in
blowing heavy or adhesive clayey land
in autumn-and as q general rule it
should be avoided Exchange.

WEIGHT OF PIGS FOR MARKET.-It
was only few years ago that swine
breeders were vieing each other for the
greatest weight of carcass; but this is
now all changed. Hogs that will weigh
500 pounds are sold at less price
per pound than those of 25O to 800
pounds. The market in England has
long favored light weights. London is
chiefly supplied with pigs ofnot less than
200 pounds weight. And this tendency
of the market to pigs we'll fatted but of
small weight is just what the farmer
should encourage, for it is exactly in the
line of his interest. 1t costs more to
make the second hundred pounds of pig
than the first, and still more to make the
third hundred pounds, and SO every
pound added becomes more expensive

To Determine the Age Of Eggs.

I
An egg is generally called fresh when
it has been laid onlyone or two days in
summer, and two to six days in winter.
The shell being porous, the water in the
interior evaporates, and leaves cavity
of greater or less extent. The yolk of
the egg sinks. too, as may be easily seen
by holding it toward a candle or the sun;
and, when shaken, slight shock is felt
if the egg is not fresh. To determine
the precise age of eggs, dissolve about
four ounces of common salt in a quart
of pure water, and then immerse the
egg. fit is one day old, it will descend
to the bottom of the vessel; but if three
days it will float in the liquid. If more
than five days old, it will come to the
surface and project above in proportion
to its increased age.-Erchange.

Relief for Burns and Scalds.

DIR. R. II. Allnat writes: "The late
lamentable accident on board the Thun-
derer recalls to my recollection remedy
for burns and scalds which was suggested
to me some years ago by Lord Ebury.
As an old medical man, and from per-
sonal observation, I can vouch for its
efficacy, and in the absence of profess
sional assistance the application may
prove of.inestimable value. The remedy
is simply this: The common whiting
of commerce, reduced ny cold water to
the Conscience of thick cream, is to be
spread on light linen rag, and the whole
burnt surface instantly covered, and thus
excluded from the action of the air.
The ease it affords is instantaneous. and
it only requires to be kept moist by &C.
sprinklings of cold water.-Lon-
don Builder.

Adv..t.s. i. the Use Of the Roller.

An old English authority away back
as far as 1917, gives four principal opera,
tions in the processes of agriculture, viz.
draining, manuripg, cultivating and
rolling. 1t may be truly said that fifty
years of experience since that time, have
not lessened the value ofthe field roller
in the estimation of thorough and careful
agriculturists, either in England or
America. The advantages derived from
the use Of the roller, are many and I'M
portant. IA clod crusher it is indes-
pensable. With it the toughest and
most lumpy soils are rendered fit for the
reception of seed and easy Of cultivation
by the ordinary implements Of the farm.
After spring grains have been sown, the
ROLES does, perhaps its best and most
important work. The earth pulverized
by its previous use and by the plow and
harrow, is now firmly pressed down about
the seeds, giving encouragement to the
growth of the plants and keeping their
tender rootlets in position also prevent
ing evaporation, so that even light soils
are not much the worse for any except o
very severe drought. In spring, winter
wheat is greatly benefited by a good
rolling, and no field should be laid down
to grass, especially for meadow, with
out having its surface made smooth and
fit for the passage of the mower and rake
by the implement under consideration.
Another good work that the farmer finds
the roller to do for him is toexterminate
large numbers of slugs, wire worms,
chinch bugs and other yermin SO destruc-
tive to his crops. In briefit may be said
that there is no other implement of the
farm whose use gives such varied and
permanent advantages as the field roller.

Where barns and outbuildings are
already closely adjacent to running
streams or good ponds, the utility of a
barn cistern will not be apparent. But
when the nearest water supply is from
a quarter to half mile distant, what is
the result? Irregular and inadequate
watering to begin with, and in stormy
weather endless Inconvenience to the
owner and his stock. A serviceable
barnyard cistern could be made at q
trifiing actual outlay. The digging
could be done by the farmer himself at
odd hours, and all other expenses con-
nected with it-water-lime, plastering,
boarding, etc.-would cost but trifle
compared with the great subsequent ad-
vantages conferred.-Rural World.

Mr. H. K. STEVENS: 40
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine of the greatest val
ne We feel assured that it has been the means
of saving our sons life. He is now seventeen
years of age; for the last two years he has suffered
from necrosis Of his leg, caused by scrofulOus
affection, and was far reduced that nearly all
who saw him thought his recovery impossible.
A council of able physicians could give us but the
faintest hope of his ever rallying; two of the
number declaring that he was beyond the reach
of human remedies, that even amputation could
not save him As he had not vigor enough 10 EN-
dure the operation. just then we commenced
giving him VEGETINE and from that time to
the present he has been continuously improving
lie has lately resumed studies, thrown away his
crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfully
and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
ETINE, but lately uses hut little, a5 he declares
he is too well to he taking medicine.

To Preserve Eggs a Whole Year.

I'm the following manner we have re-
peatedly kept eggs perfectly sweet and
good for whole year: After Matching
time is past, collect from thirty to fifty
dozen eggs, (or buy them fresh when eggs
are from fifteen to twenty-five cents per
dozen) and prepare liquid thus: one
pint of common salt, one pint of lime,
dissolve in four gallons of boiling water /;
let it settle and put the eggs into the
liquor in stone jars when cold. Cover
the eggs entirely with the liquid, and use
stone, not soft crockeryware jars. Thus
embedded eggs will keep for twelve
months and come out in good shape,
though after all they will not be equal to
new laid eggs.

THE MORTGAGE.

I've been sitting by the west window,
And thinking the livelong day
Ofthe mortgage foreclosed tomorrow,
When my homes to be taken away.
Twill be just three years tomorrow,
How well remember the day,
When my husband went out to borrow
And mortgaged our homestead away.
How little he then thought the future
Would leave US no friends or home,
Or that we'd be driven abroad
And LEFT in the wide world to roam.
But life is made up Of changes,
And soon the great change will come,
When shall find rest with my Saviour,
Nevermore in the wide world to roam.
All! then there will be no mortgage,
No house to be taken away,
But shall dwell in mansion;
A house that's ne 'er mstie up Of clay.
