The mask WAS torn off now, and, stepping
out of the crowded room on to the wide
piazza, Rhoda Brcnt's flashing eyes
looked up into Philip Farnham's face,
demanding an answer.

Then they both laughed in each others
eyes, and the moon shone down brightly
upon them, the sea murmured softly to
them, and the summer night stars
twinklcd merrily over their heads.
The "affair" vas all settled quite
amicably between them there; and when
an hour later Rob. Sherwood stepped out
on to the piazza in quest of his cousin
and his friend, and beheld in the shadowy
moonlight Minnehaha's dark tresses half
hid behind Lord Dundreary's red whisk-

rHs BALDHEADED rYRANr

Oh the quictest home on earth had l.
No thought Of trouble, no hint Of care;
Like dream OF pleasure the days fed by
And Peace had folded her pniOns there.
But one day there Joined in our household band
A bald-hcaded tyrant from No-man's-land.
oh. the despot came in the dead Of night,
And no one veutured to ask him why;
Like slaves we trembied before his might,
Our hearts stood still when we heard him cry;
For never soul could HE power Withstand,
That bald dheaded tyrant from Noman's-and.
He ordered us here and he sent us there.
Though never awOrd conld his small lips speak
With his toothless gums and his vacant stare,
And his helpless limbs so frail and weak,
Till cried In voice OF stern command:
"Go up, thou badhead from NO-man's-land"
But his abject slaves they turned on me;
Like the bears in Scripture, they rend me there,
The while they worshiped with bended knee
This ruthless wretch with the missing hair;
For be rules them all with relentless hand
This bald-headed tyrant from No-man's-and.
Then searched for help in every cline,
For peace had fled from my dwelling now,

And low before him made my bow.

And a smile came over his features grim.
"I'll take the tyrant under my care;
Watch what my hour-glass does to him.
The veriest humbug thatever was planned
Is this same bald-head from No.man' sland."

But, ah with sorrow my heart will swell

For the loss Of Peace have ceased to care;

Making Good Butter,

THE american Grocer gives the follow
ing directions:
I. Avoid worrying the COWS in any way,
or getting them excited.
2. Milk in clean, well-ventilated
place, free from all foul odors, and under
shelter in rainy weather, letting the COWS
stand awhile, to drip and dry off, before
beginning to milk.
3. Exclude all filth from the milk and
strain as fast as milked. 1t if can be at
once strained into the pan for setting
and the straining can be done without en-
tering the milk-room, all the better.
4. The best way is to have the milk
room SO arranged thatits temperature can
be kept uniformly at about sixty degrees,
and then to use neither water nor ice
around the milk and leave the temper
ature of the milk to sink gradually to that
of the room. The cream will continue
to rise as long as the temperature is fall
ing, and more slowly afterward. II will
all be up in forty light hours. 1t should
then be skinned and kept at the temper
ature of sixty degrees until 1t becomes
slightly acid, then it is fit to churn. If
any other method of setting is adopted,
it should not be one to keep the milk
sweet forty-elght hours, nor one which
will not permit all the cream to rise IN
that time. 1t is more or less injurious,
according to circumstances, to have the
temperature of the room higher than
that of the milk.
5. Never let cream get more than
slightly sour before churning, and churn
it at sixty degrees, with motion equal
to that given by thirty or forty strokes to
the minute by dasher covering three
fourths of the lateral space of the churn
at the largest point
6. Before the butter is gathered, and
while in Jumps about the size of wheat
or buckwheat kernels, draw off or strian
out the buttermilk, and thoroughly
wash the butter with clear, cold water
at about fifty-fve degrees, but do not
pack the butter together. Then sprinkle
on and carefully stir in, still avoid
ing packing, abont one ounce of salt to
each pound of butter Set the butter
away in sweet, cool place, not above
sixty degrees, nor below fifty-fve de-
grees, until the next day, when it is
ready to work and pack for the market.
7. The packing should be done in clean,
sweet packages; and if the butter is in
tended for long keeping the packages
should be air-tight They can be made
so by proper use of the brine.
8. Butter so packed should be kept al
temperature not above sixty degrees,
nor below fifty degrees, and in an apart
ment where there are no foul odors from
vegetables, damp earth, or any Other
source.
o. The milk of sick cows OF COWS in
heat should never be used for dairy pur
poses, nor milk known to be impure from
any cause whatever.
10. If from any accident, neglect OF
oversight a batch of butter is not per
feet, it should not be packed for long
keeping, but at once put upon the mar
ket and sold for consumption while In
its best condition. But imperfect butter
should never be made to eat.

What, then, has the Democratic Con-
federate House done during its nine
months continuous SESSION. II has
passed the appropriation bills, but, to its
disgrace be II said, failed to pass one of
them until after the fiscal year had begun,
leaving the Government without money,
and compelling resort to temporary bills
every few days. No such disgTaceful in
competency was ever shown by any pre-
vious House IN the history of the Gov
ernment.
This is the full and complete record of
the Democratic Confederate House,
which, with its 80 to 100 majority, failed
to enact one measure of reform; to even
propose the reduction of one penny of
taxation; which left Che currency, bank
ing and silver questions untouched, and
which has closed its labors with the moro
passage of the appropriation bills, which
might have been done in three months.

wheat has only himself TO blame IL he
allows the threshing machine to do the
work in an unworkmanlike manner. The
most of the threshing is done by men
who own the machines and go about
from farm to farm, threshing by the
bushel, so that the more grain that is put
through the machine in day the greater
will be the profits, and they are apt to act
on this principle by crowding their
machines to their greatest capacity.
With careful management on the part
of the machine men great saving may
be made to the farmer and satisfactory
results to themselves; for, with the inn
proved machinery, which has been
brought almost to perfection during the
last few years, the work may be done
well and rapidly enough to satisfy the
ambition of the tbresher or the econo-
MIXING spirit of the farmer. AS the ma
chine brings with it large gang of men
and horses to pay and feed, the farmer
naturally feels some as the owner of the
machine does, that he would like to get
through with the job as soon as possible.
So, while the hurry may be on both sides,
the loss from the sighted work all comes
off the farmer. Grain may be and often
is wasted in the cutting and handling,
but the greater waste Is in the single OPP
Grafton of threshing, often without any
body's knowing It, or stopping to think
about it.. Insist ON saving all the grain
possible and have the work done well.
Barring the danger of fire, steam is the
most economical power for threshing
purposes, giving more steady speed to
Nhn &c -. =, fl
through at an even rate there is no dam
! ger of the grain being blown through
with the chaff at the moments of high
speed. Besides, it is decided cruelty to
animals to press horses into succession
of full days work running the threshing
machine during midsummer, while the
days are long, the heat oppressive and
flies infiict their severest punishment.
Give the horses all the protection they
can have from the flies and the machinery
will be less liable to be broken and the
| grain wasted by an irregular motion.
AS the straw has now become matter
of great Importance it should be put upon
the stack over a carrier. In this way the
chaf and whatever grain which would
otherwise be wasted, by being left scat
tered upon the ground on account of its
fineness, the pitchers not being able to
put it upon the stack with the use of
their forks, would be saved.
Ordinarily, we think it economy to put
the grain in the stack during sufficient
time for it to go through sweat" be-
fore threshing, for no doubt it improves
the quality and condition of the grain to
some extent, will require less help on
threshing days, and the delay will be in
favor of the straw while it is not exposed
to the summer rains. OF course, when
the farmer is compelled to sell soon after
harvest, he had better thresh out of the
shock, and for no other reason would we
advise threshing grain before or during
the "dog days. Western Rural.
