churned than it is afterwards. About
five months after calving the milk un-

only less in quantity, but the butter
milk froths in churns is, that when ii
sours, alcohol is formed by the decom-
position of the sugar of the milk, and
this causes the milk. when shaken or
beaten, to foam or froth. If this froth
exists to large extent, butter will not
come, and the milk is useless for churn-
ing purposes. The longer a cow is
MIXED after calving the less is the yield
of butter, and the less nour;shment is
there contained in her milk.

DR.. SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLS.
These medicines have undoubtedly per-
formed more cures of Consumption than
any other remedy known to the Ameri-
can public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain no
thing which can be injurious to the hu-
man constitution. Other remedies ad-
vertised as cures for Consumption, pro-
bably contain opium, which is some
what dangerous drug in all cases, and if
taken freely by consumptive patients,
it must do great injury; for its tendency
Is to confine the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make a
cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup is warranted not to contain
particle of opium: 1t is composed of
powerful but harmless herbs, which act
on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood,
and thus correct all morbid secretions,
and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by
which Consumption can be cured, and
as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only
medicines which operate in this way, it
is obvious they are the only genuine
cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each
bottle Of this invaluable medicine is ae-
companied by full directions. DIR.
Schenck is professionally at his princi-
pal Office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.

Sour STocK.-The base of soup should
always be lean, uncooked meat, to
which may be added chicken, turkey,
beef or mutton bones, well broken up.
To four pounds of lean beef (the in
ferior parts are quite as good for this
purpose) put five quarts of tepid soft
water. Wash the meat and put it in the
water without salt; let it come slowly
to a boil, and then skim well and set ii
back dnd let it simmer along for six or
eight hours until the meat is in rags /;
then strain into an earthen jar, let it
cool and remove all the grease. The
stock will keep for many days, and
from it can be made all the various
kinds of soups. Whatever will be added
to this, such as rice, tapioca, vegetables,
etc., must be cooked before being added,
as much boiling injuries the flavor of
the stock

WHEAT FROM INDIA.7Some of the
American journals are jumping at a
hasty conclusion. that the importation
OF wheat into England from India is
fraught with trouble to American wheat
growers, because the cheapness of ag-
ricultural labor and production in
India enables that country to compete
successfully against us in the English
markets. If that were so, Indian cot
ton would long since have driven Amer
lean cotton from Europe. But the tor
mer is inferior in quality to the latter,
and hence American cotton rules the
market. So it is with Indian wheat. 1t
is inferior in quality to American, and
Is only used in England to mix with
better grades. Samples of this Indian
wheat have been seen at the New York
Produce Exchange and tested, with this
result, agreeing in that respect with
the English reports. As to cheapness,
We have our doubts. The ryots of India
are subject TO the most merciless taxa
ton. Their system of taxation is prim-
tive They have no such implements
or processes as ours. And the means
of transit to tide-water are sadly def
cient, while ours are superabundant.
Ii Indian wheat was as invaluable as
represented, does anyone suppose that
the English merchants would load
four hundred ships every year with
wheat at San Francisco and take it
eighteen thousand miles to England by
seas OF course not. We need only in
crease our exports of wheat and corn
As fast as possible, in order TO hold the
ascendancy We have gained in the
breadstuff markets of Europe. We have
beaten Russia effectually, and her agri-
cultural labor was cheaper than ours.
But her means of transport and hand
ling were far behind ours.

TIE "WHY" IN VEGETABLE COOKERY
"A Boston correspondent of the Ger
mantown Telegraph, contributes the fol
lowing to that paper:-
Why should beans never be put int
cold water to soak, as Is often recon-
mended? Because all the nutritious
portion of the bean is extracted by the
process. They should be washed in
warm water, then in cold, be tied loosely
in a cloth, be put into boiling water
with a spoonful of dripping and little
salt in it, and be kept boiling for foul
hours. They are then excellent il
served with gravy, and not with melted
butter. They serve as garnish round
roast mutton or beef, and are excellent
eating served whole or as a puree. TC
make the latter, when the beans are
done throw them instantly into cold
water, when the skins will slip off. Rub
the beans through a cullender, and mix
a lump of butter with them. A little
stock, or milk, or cream is excellen,
mixed in.
Why should plenty of fast-boiling
water be used in boiling vegetables,
potatoes excepted? Because the greater
the body of boiling water the greater
the heat. If only little water be used,
the whole affair soon cools, and the
vegetables become tough, so much SO
that no length of time in boiling them
will render them otherwise. Broccoli
sprouts in April, if properly cooked by
boiling them for eight minutes in boil
ing water, will be tender as marrow
but, if not properly done, hours will
not cook them.
Why should onions be always cut in
round and very thin rings? Because
the fibre is thus cut across, and in SO
cutting them, whether for frying or for
making sauce, they are rendered very
tender when cooked. With turnips and
carrots it is just the same; neither OF
the three should be split or cut in any
other way.
Why should parsley never be boiled
with soda-only in boiling water and
salt? Because parsley, having no oil in
it, would be spoiled with soda, and all
flavor would be extracted. All parsley
should be picked free from the stem, be
put into plenty of boiling water with
salt, and in summer be boiled only one
minute, and in winter two minutes,
and be strained and chopped on the
back of a plate. If only little water
is used i'm boiling it, the water becomes
brown, and the parsley tough and ILL
favored.
Why should vinegar for plckling
with never be boiled? Because boiling
takes all the strength from it. What
ever vegetables are to be picked should
first be made soft with boiling water
strong with salt, and then be well
drained and the vinegar poured over.
Why should two ounces of salt and a
bit of washing soda always be put in
tine water to boil greens in? Because
the salt crisps the greens and fiavors
them, and the soda extracts the oil,
which is greatly injurious to the diges-
tion.

FROM an elaborate and thorough
analysis of the composition of wood
ashes by Prof. Storer, it appears that
they contain, unleached and dry, about
eight and one half per cent. of potash,
somewhat more than the lowest grades
of German potash salts. Either leach
ed or unleached the dry ashes contain
about two per cent. of phosphOric acid,
of which none occurs in the German
salts. In Storer's field experiments,
wood ashes, unleached, applied in large
quantities, brought larger yields of
barley, beans and rutabagas than barn
yard manure, city stable manure, or
any single potash salt.

To destroy plant parasites, carbolic
acid is as good as anything else known
to nurserymen. The acid may be mixed
with water in the proportion of one
part to one hundred parts, and literally
applied to the skin. The dark-colored
impure acid is preferable to the pure
specimen, some of the allied products
being more destructive to the parasites
than the genuine carbolic acid. The
addition of a little tobacco liquor will
make the mixture even more efficient.

LINE AS FERTI.IZER.-It is a great
mistake to apply common caustic lime
TO land with the expectation that it will
answer or act as fertilizer.
While it is true that lime is found in
the ashes of plants, it is also true that
its main value consists in its mechani-
cal action in fastening the decomposi-
ton of plant food already in the soil.
1t acts as solvent, and has also the
effect of loosening the soil and making
the stiff clay friable. A man may i'm
prove the quality of some kinds of soil
by applying lime, but can never make
one that is poor rich by its use. The
old couplet current in England, which
runs as follows:
He who lines without manure
VIII leave his farm and family poor,
furnishes the true key to the value and
use of lime on ordinary soils. Lime
must be considered as mechanical ma
nure and applied accordingly. II the
soil is full of vegetable matter, lime
will hasten its decomposition, and
thereby increase its fertility for the
time, but not permanently. Lime will
usually improve cold, wet soils, clays
and sand, provided the latter contains
some vegetable matter requiring de-
composition; and light applications say
eight bushels of fresh lime, or twenty
to twenty-five of air-slacked or gas lime
are preferable TO larger applications at
one time.
