EecOing CreQin.

Next in Importance to having milk
perfectly pure and sweet, and free
from all animal odors, comes the mat.
ter of keeping cream after it is taken
off the milk. In the first place, the
less milk there is with the cream at
the time it is set in the cream jar, the
better. \ great deal of carelessness
is shown in this matter, for be it
known that milk makes cheese, while
the cream only makes the butter, and
the more milk there is in the cream at
churning time, the more cheesy-aavor-
ed will be the butter, and therefore
the more likely to spoil afterwards I'M
less excessively sailed. Really pure,
good butter requires very little salt,
while butter as ordinarily made will
soon spoil unless we'll sailed, or kept
covered in brine.
Secondly, the cream jar must be of
the very best quality of stone ware !;
thick glass would be still better; and
it must have cover that will exclude
all dust and insects.
Thirdly, the cream jar should be
kept in a place where no noxious
odors or gases can be absorbed when
the jar is open to add more cream, and
also where the temperature can be
kept cool and equable, say about 60
deg, and lastly, the cream is to be
made into butter as soon rs it
! Just begins to sour, and when the j:r
is emptied it is to be thoroughly clean.

FALKLAND. GARDEN.
The Management Of Clover Hay.

4cs Inc management VI sNloNe' nay sss
Clover shouldsbe moved as soon as
it is well in blossom. There is no
necessity to wait for brown head;
there will be plenty to be seen before
the crop is we'll down. Cut when the
dew is off, and allow to dry until the
afternoon, when it should be shaken
up and turned before tho dew falls.
If a tedder is employed, it's constant
use will fit the clover to DO put in cocks
the same day. If turned by hand, it
may lie till noon the next day, when it
may be put in cocks, made as high and
narrow as possible they will shed the
rain better in this shape, and if caps
are used, a yard square will be suffi-
GENTLY large to cover them. Caps are
to be strongly recommended, and the
above size is sufficient, as the top only
needs protection. Put up and thus
protected, the hay may stay in the field
until it is all made, when it may be
hauled together. If any cock should
be damp inside. spread it out for few
minutes, it will dry rapidly. Glover
cured in the cock is much more valua-
bic than that dried in the sun, and
wastes less in handling. Put away
the first cut hay by itself, in place
convenient for use in the spring.
Cows coming in early in the spring
will thrive on this hay the milk will
be largely increased in quantity, and
be richer in quality, while the butter
will come easily, be free from white,
curdy specks, and in color will not be
far behind that from June grass.

Breed for. Milk as Well as for Beet. :.

- VSW IVA AAAAA dS VIII 40 AVAr OGCAs
DR.. Schneider, of Thionville, treats
an important subject from new
point of view. He demands-why not
encourage precocity in animals for
milk as well as for meat! In the lat
ter case the object is to fatten an an.
imal in thirty-six instead of sixty
months, by good feeding. On the
contrary, the powers of reproduction
that is, yielding of milk-are most act
i've or precocious where the dietary is
sober, is not miserable. Poor families
are most prolific, and weeds most pro.
ductive. Fecundity is the ally of
humble rations, and fat, the emblem
of opulence, is not an attribute of vir-
ility. Embonpoint is incompatible
with the faculty of generation. If a
sterile cow or an OK exact thirty.six
months and good diet, to be precocious-
ly converted into meat, heifer could
in that period have produced, upon a
modest regimen, one calf, perhaps
two, and from twelve to fourteen
months of milk. The production of
milk is less costly than that of meat.
1t can be less extensively disposed of,
and if meat has increased in price, so
also have butter and cheese. The
properties for fattening are but one
and the same thing, and pre.exist in
the animal only, but aptitudes cannot
be developed at the same time. Thus
in France. Dutch or Normal cows are
kept for tho express purpose of yield
ing milk to the calves of the Durham
breed.

Early Printing In America.

The first work known to have been
printed in America, was sort of hand
book for the Spanish priests, issued in
l54O, having the following title y:
'sChristophorous Cabrera Burgenses
ad lectorum. facet baptismi ministr.
sEicOlOn IcastichOn.'
!. The author was Christopher Ca
brera, of Burgos, Old Castillo. The lat
ter portion of the book is translated as
follows - Es.a$z f47E -.
"This Manual for adults was printed
in the great city of Mexico, by the
command, and at the expense of the
most reverend men, Bishops of New
Spain, at the house of Juan C0mber-
ger, in the year of the nativity of our
Lord Jesus Christ one thousand five
hundred and forty. On the 18th day
of the month of December.
But one copy of this work, and that
sadly mutilated, is known to be in
existence !; it is in a private library
at Madrid. Comberger, who has
thus achieved Immortality as being
the first printer in America, died in
Mexico about A. D. 1914. Before
leaving Spain, he had been the propri'
etor of a large printing Office at Sci.
Vile. After his death his foreman.
Juan Pablos, who had followed his
master to Mexico, succeeded to the
proprietorship of the first American
press.
The first book known to have been
printed in South America was vocab'
ulary, issued at Lima, Peru, 1886.
The first printing Office in the Eng
lish colonies was established at Cam.
bridge, Mass, in January, 1899.
Among it's early issues was the Bay
Psalm Book, ''a most barbar0us metri-
cal version of the Psalms Of David, .
printed by Stephen Daye. Isaiah
Thomas History of Printing notes, as
singularity in this book, that Eat the
head of every left.hand page the word
Psalm is spelled as it should be
while at the head of every right-hand
page it has an final, thus 'Psalme.' .
Copies of the book are rare, and 1t is
said that a perfect one would now
bring five hundred dollars.
The browning achievement Of the
Cambridge press was the production
of Elliott's Indian Bible, in 1868. This
is now book that no man can read,
the nation in whose tongue it is writ
ten having long since passed away,
leaving no trace of their language save
in this book and in the euphonious
names they have bestowed upon GER
tain localities in the Empire State.

Some Wonderful Stories by DR.. Doreums.

The celebrated chemist, DR.. Dore-
ums, showed the following manner, in
a recent lecture, how extremes meet:
Eggs can be cooked by the extreme of
cold as we'll as by the extreme of heat.
Butter can be made like ivory, so that
it can be turned. We may, by the
agency of this, solidify many Of the
other liquid substances, and, indeed,
many of the gaseous; but more in
ense degree of cold is used, and we
Employ laughing gas. This laughing
Jas, which is heavy, is the carbonic
cid we have shown; when squeezed
orcibly by the pump, it becomes as
beautiful and pellucid liquid as car
Donic acid, and if allowed to remain,
produces most intense degree of cold.
We can, however, show the liquid.
Let me ask you to observe, prior to
making that experiment., very curl
ously interesting one in regard to the
spheroidal state of matter. We have
here a glass lamp, and we place over
this lamp a platina dish. In the pla-
tina dish we place some of the mixture
of solid cafbonic acid, and in the mid
die of it introduce the mercury, and we
shall find that the mercury would
freeze, showing that we have cold at
least forty degrees below zero. We
used to make an experiment, such as
melting lead intensely hot, and then
putting one hand III and lading it from
one vessel to another for if, in lieu Of
this, you take quantity of melted
iron, you can plunge your head into it
with impunity, and workmen have
been able to walk on a bed of melted
iron. Take a poker and put it in a hot
coal fire, get It very hot, and you may
lift it or wipe it on the tongue with
impunity. We may have it so hot that
the vaper actually protects us. 5.
Here we shall have a more extraor.
binary illustration of it, for we cannot
only make ice, but can freeze mercury.
We will gil this little thimble with
mercury, and as soon as it is intensely
hot we will introduce the mixture,
and will show this curious illustration,
and attempt to freeze the mercury.

The Lungren Squash,


This is new and rare variety. The
leaves are singularly variegated with
yellow, the depths of color varying in
different plants from the pale yellow
to the bright orange, and differing also
in the amount of yariegations as the
season progresses. The color is most
profuse at the base of the leaf, and is
distributed thence, in separate stripes,
toward, but not reaching the borders.
the fruit is bottle-formed, much re-
sembling the "Puritan,' entirely
white, about one foot in length, eight
inches in the greatest diameter, and
weighs from eight to ten pounds. The
stem is thick, short and fleshy. The
flesh Is pale yellowish white, thick,
fine-grained, dry and sweet, and pecu.
liarly free from the strong flavor COM
mon to many varieties. 1t cooks well,
early or late in the season, and even
before it has attained its full size, and
is also good keeper.
Weight of Honey for Wintcling Bees.
Mrs. Topper says that in the case OF
a number of strong colonies Of bees
the consumption of honey in October
was 4 lbs. in November, 1 1-2 lbs.
December, 2 1-2 lbs. January, lbs.
February, l.2 lbs. March lbs. and
April, 7 - lbs; total of 80 lbs
This was ascertained out Of doors
But as the amounts vary in various 10
calities and seasons it will be safe toset
that the hives contain more than thi:
amount when the bees go into winter
quarters.
Every empty hive OH being made
ready for occupancy, should be care
fully weighed, and the weight dull.
marked upon it, or registered in
book. When the bees are put into i
they can also be weighed, and tn
weight of combs and honey also be as
certained from week to week. Suc]
facts will always be of interest and i'm
portance.
