The Late Baron de Palm.

An examination was to have been
made of the body of Baron de Palm,
yesterday, by the medical staff of
Roosevelt Hospital, but at the hour APP
pointed, none of the physicians invited
had appeared, and the only visitors
present at the vault in the Lutheran
Cemetery, Williamsburg, were several
representatives of the press, and Brock
hurst, the embalmer. The coffin was
opened, and the body was shown. 1t
presented a somewhat shrunken APP
pearance, was ashy gray from it's re-
cent coat Of powder, and was like
leather to the touch. The eyes had
dropped in their sockets, The hair of
the head was firm in its place, and the
whiskers on one side of the face were
perfectly preserved. The joints were
flexible. An incision made with a
lance in the calf of the leg showed the
muscles to be nearly dry, while the
body emitted no odor more offensive
than that of carbolic acid. Under the
same treatment continued, it would in
the course of time become hard and
dry. The health authorities of Brook
lyn have granted a certificate permit
ting the transportation of the body, and
on December 6 it will be taken to
Washington, Pa, twenty-five miles west
of Pittsburg, on the CHARTERS Valley
Railroad.-Ney York Times.

Horses should be Exercised Daily.

An experienced veterinary authority
says that daily exercise is necessary for
ali horses unless they are sick; it as
sists and promotes free circulation of
the blood, develops the muscular struc-
ture, creates an appetite, improves the
wind, and finally invigorates the whole
system. We cannot expect much of a
horse that has not been habituated to
sufficient daily exercise; while such as
have been daily exercised and well
managed, are capable, not only of great
exertion and fatigue, but are ready for
work at any season. When an animal
is overworked it renders the system
very susceptible to whatever morbid
influences may be present, and imparts
to disease an unusual degree of severi-
ty. The exhaustion produced by want
Of rest is equally dangerous; such
horses are always among the first
victims Of disease, and when attacked
their treatment is embarrassing and
unsatisfactory Post.

Household Hints.

BOTTLE THE APPLEs.-An Eastern
paper says, bottle the apples. Not all
of them, perhaps, but as many as
you can afford to buy bottles for.
Apples are about as near without a
market price now as we ever knew
them, and if preserved by bottling, they
will really cost but little more than the
expense of bottles, and If carefully
handled these will last many years.
Pare and cook the apples as for the
table, and after gradually bringing the
bottles to a degree of heat which will
prevent breaking, fill with the apple
boiling hot, and sealing Immediately as
for other fruits.
VIENNA CoFFEE.-The New York
Tribune says: Bleach the coffee, al
lowing to each person tablespoonful
of ground coffee, and one extra for
the pot; then to one quart OF cream,
nut into pitcher and set in boiling
water. allow the white of one egg
beaten to froth; then add three table
spoonfuls of cold milk to the egg, and

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Cement for Cracked Hoofs.

Mr.. Delay has discovered prepare
ton by means of which sand cracks or
fractures iii hoof or horn may be
durably cemented up. Even pieces
of iron can be securely joined together
by its means. The only precaution
necessary for its successful application
is the careful removal of all grease by
spirits of sal ammonia, sulphide of car
bon or ether. Mr.. Delay makes no
secret of its composition, which is as
follows: Take one part of coarsely
powdered gum-ammoniacum and two
parts gutta-percha, in pieces the size of
a hazel nut. Put them in a tin-lined
vessel over slow fire, and stir constant
ly until thoroughly mixed. Before the
thick, resinous mass gets cold, mold it
into sticks like sealing wax. The ce-
ment will keep for years, and when re-
quired for use it is only necessary to
cut off a sufficient quantity and re-
melt it immediately before application.

House Scraps for Fowls.

AS the weather gets colder fowls are
cut off from many insects. fruits, seeds,
&c. To compensate for this it is neces-
sary to supply your birds with an equiv
alent in nice bits. This can often be
done with scraps from the table, leaves
of vegetables, &c. This is especially
required if fowls are limited to small
pen, for though every one who keeps
fowls may not OWE q fve-acre lot for
them to run in, yet he can keep them
in health and with profit to himself by
giving them proper attention. When
fowls are supplied with the change of
food they require they seldom peck off
each others feathers, but if they once
commence, it is very hard to break
them of such q habit. Pieces from
the table are used with more profit to
feed poultry than pigs, and they supply
that variety which nature requires

THE WAN NG SEASON,

Lower and lower, day by day.,
The sun sinks from the southern skies;
The woods, in autumn's colors gay,
Reflect his glory as he flies,
Yet now and then he struggles forth,
Breaks through the walls of cloudy wrack
And-glaring fiercely at the north
Shoots his hot Parthian arrows back.
And swiftly round the sun, the earth
Along the ecliptic thunders on;
Successive seasons spring to birth,
A moment fourish-and are gone.
So man his seasons doth fulfil
Climbs the long steep to MONDAY prime,
Through breezy spring and summer still;
Thence down to age and winter time.

Requisites for Good Butter.

We prefer room, as before stated,
where the temperature can be main
tanned at about 80 or 81 degrees Fab.
We desire it to be well ventilated and
to have a much modified light, easily
regulated by using blinds.
Having allowed the milk to stand
until it begins to sour, we remove the
cream and churn within "a hours of the
skimming.
As our milk room is KEPT at the right
temperature, the cream is also right for
churning, which is of the utmost i'm
portance, as this determines in q great
measure the texture and keeping quail
ties of the butter. -l,tfo4 =
- In churning we are careful to secure
uniformity in revolution of the churn.
AS soon as the butter begins to separ-
ate from the buttermilk, we begin the
washing process, as we think this the
best time to secure this all important
end, for butter to keep well must be
entirely freed from buttermilk, and
this can only be done well by washing
before the butter begins to mass or
gather in the churn.
Having churned the butter, which
usually requires three-fourths Of an
hour, we take it from the churn and
place it upon the butter-worker, Aliens

absolute freedom from butter milk; we
