Action Of Cold Upon Milk.

An abstract from paper read before
the French Academy OF Science gives the
results of numerous experiments made
by exposing milk to different tempera-
lures ranging from 320 Fair. to 1902
Fair. The following facts were elected:
/. The raise of cream is more rapid as
the temperature to which the milk is ex-
posed approaches go.
2. The volume of cream is greater
when the milk has been efficiently
cooled
3. The yield of butter is also greater
when the milk has been exposed to a
very low temperature.
4. Finally, the skinned milk, the but
ter and the cheese are of better quality
when prepared under the above circum-
stances.
While it is impossible to offer salts
factory explanation as to the reason why
artificial cold should produce beneficial
effect upon the yield and quality of pro-
ducts derived from the milk, it is prob
able that it May tend to arrest that fer
mentative decomposition which is prone
to set in with organic fluid, and thus,
by preventing incipient alteration, indi-
rectly to improve the quality of the ma
terial.
The practice of warming the dairy in
the winter time SO as to maintain its at
mosphere at a constant of about co., is
therefore Objectionable; the pans should
stand in running water, at as low tenn
perature as can be practically obtained.

Instinct of Wild Geese.

The St. Louis Republican says: CDR.
Landlord, who returned day Or two
since from the southeastern part Of the
state, mentions the following curious
fact in natural history, He gives the
statement on the authority of Mr.. w. R.
Smith "a leading farmer and miller liv-
ing near Morley, in Scott county, Mo.
About a year ago Mr.. Smith captured
two young wild geese, and raised them
with the balance of his domestic goslings.
The wild ones became quite tame, and
took kindly to the changes of civilized
life. They adapted their habits to the
ordinary delights of the barnyard, and
swan in the pond with the tame geese,
without showing a disposition to go Oh a
wild-goose chase. About the 18th of
November, the weather began to change,
and after being domesticated some eight
months, the wild fellows, prompted
by instinct to seek a more sunny
cline on the approach of winter, spread
their wings to the breeze and started on
migratory tour, flying southwark
Their departure was natural and to be
expected. After an absence of two
months, early in January, great was Mr..
Smiths surprise to find, on getting up
one morning, that the two wild geese had
returned to their old haunts on his farm
They not only returned, but eleven morn
wild geese came with them as visitors,
which they piloted safely from some
southern bayou. The new corners
made themselves at home, and were fed
and fondled by the children. They come
up to the mill at feeding time to get
their rations, and gabbled all together,
and put on the airs of civilized geese who
have had a good moral training"

The Value of Open Fires.
From Scribner for October.

From Scr1bner Tor October.
We grant as has recently been SAID,
that an open fire is 4" incompetent to heat
our houses" but we believe it can be
made such an important factor in the
culture of children that we have no
hesitancy in urging others to try it. In
houses that are wholly warmed by fur
naces, the family circle is likely to be-
come impaired. The children take their
friends to their own rooms, and the
mother rarely becomes intimately &C
quainted with their associates. Around
the wood fire all naturally come togeth-
er; what interests one, comes in little
while to interest all, and the children
learn to be open and free. The fire
warns the heart as well as the body A
wood fire lit early in the evening when
the children are home from from school
is all that is necessary. When the boys
get used to coming in from the cold and
snow to find cheerful hickory fire blaz-
ing on the parlor hearth, with the room
not too nicely furnished for them to use,
they will not want to leave it for any
outside attractions The moment the
familiar whistle is heard in the evening,
let some kindling wood be thrust under
the logs. The pleasant sensation pro-
duced by blazing fire, if repeated
every day, winter after winter, amounts
to great deal of happiness in a boys
lifetime, and will never be forgotten
1t is difficult to over-estimate the value
of this central gathering-place for the
whole family. Wood fires are not dusty,
and when used not for heat, but for
cheer, and only in the evening, are not
costly. The moderate heat of a fur
mace or stove is sufficient for the parlor
by day and but little wood in the fire
place is necessary to have it comfortable
at night. Indeed, the register often has
to be closed to keep the heat of the house
from rushing into the parlor. The wood
fire ventilates, and thus, not only are
the feet kept warm, the head remains
cool. Half cord of hickory lasts a
month, and we use it on Sundays after
church, and on other days if we have
friends at dinner or the children are to
be at home. In spring and fall, an open
fireplace is particularly useful. Every
one knows how the furnace is disliked in
moderate weather, but by using at such
times the wood alone, the desired heat is
obtained and far more than the cost
saved in the coal that would be burned
to waste. If the fireplace is painted
black, there will be a good background
for the red flame, and the bricks will not
be made to appear shabby by the smoke.
Let it be good hearty blazing fire or
none at all. Better to save in furniture
or in rich deserts, than put on logs
sparingly. Brass andirons are the best,
for they never wear out, and the labor
in keeping them bright is much exag-
gerated. The wood should reach clear
over both andirons A lot of corn cobs
will make a hot blaze, just before the
children go to bed, and will make their
slumber all the sweeter.

Rats and Mice.

These vermin do not agree, and rats
will soon drive mice away, so that when
the latter get really numerous, and
shrewd enough not to enter traps, as
they often are, the incoming of rats may
be hailed with gladness, for they are
much more easily destroyed. Last win
ter neighboring farmhouse was overrun
with rats. They were undermining the
foundations, destroying basket or two
of turnips and apples every night. They
would not look at traps; they could only
be destroyed at the risk of DESTROYING
the chickens, for all ordinary poisons
make the creatures sick, and they run
out of doors and throw off the load from
their stomachs, and this it is that poisons
the chickens. Some one mentioned the
use of plaster of paris (calcined gypsum),
so / brought some up from town Tor
them. 1t was mixed dry with wheat
flour and Indian meal. The rats ate
this; and it set and settled them, and
we laughed over this mortar mortality :;
but it does seem cruel-no worse, how
ever, than poisoning with rsenic.-Ag-
ricult,0iSt.

Glover Seed and Seeding.

The time for the fall seeding has
nearly come, and more critical period
in farm administration does not occur in
the whole year. VIII it catch" we'll is
the question, and as to this vital point
the farmer has anxious foreboding
Granted that the soil is we'll prepared
and the moisture sufficient, and still
there remains the question of the seed"
There is seed and then there is seed. :"
And we have had our agricultural soul
vexed out of its patience time and again
by finding, when too late, that the I" mis-
cradle stuff was a fraud, and wouldn't
come up" We prefer fall seeding to
spring or summer, and we earnestly adj
vocate generous admixture of clover
with the herdsgrass. 1t gets an early
start, roots itself rapidly and strongly,
endures the winter well, and comes out
in the spring ready to grow Indeed, a
generous percentage of clover ensures a
good paying crop the first year, even if
the herdsgrass be rather "gone back on
itself" Glover, also, is great help to
the soil, and makes splendid fall feeding
in the aftermath-that is, with good
seed, both clover and herdsgrass. And
we give this hint to our farmer friends
without money and without price, be-
cause of gratitude over our own happy
experiment. We would say that we
have seeded down in the last year nearly
forty acres with clover and herdsgrass,
and not a square rod in the whole that
did not "cOme up in fine condition.

Home Amusements.

A close observer of American life said
to us the other day that a great change
had come in the last ten years to the
home life of the country. And in an
swer to our interrogation, he proceeded
to point out the character of this change.
One point which he made was that a
great many games of skill and chance
were being played in New England
homes to-day, which were not known, or
if known, were forbidden by parents ten
years ago. Our own observation coin
cides with his on this point. We know
that chess within the last ten years has
captured for itself high place in popular
regard. 1t speaks well for people when
such an intellectual game can become
popular. For it takes brains to play
chess even moderately well, and none
but clever and thoughtful people would
ever like it. We notice also that cards
are no longer abjured as they once were
in households. Whist and euchre are
domiciled, to-day, in homes where, de-
cade ago, their names could not have
been spoken safely save in a whisper.
Checkers are not perhaps universal, but
they are more fashionable They have
fought their way into high life; and
whereas they once found their friends in
the village tavern and in the farmer 5
kitchen, they are now admitted into the
parlors of the wealthy and refined. The
games played with historical cards are
also numerous, and many of them pleas
antly exciting. And you find them in
almost every household.

Now all this is very pleasant and hone

Now all this is very pleasant and hope
full. 1t revealed to the thinker the
fact that home life is more vivacious and
happy than it used to be; that the long.
dull evenings are being enlivened with
sprightly and stimulating amusements
and that the home circle is charged with
attractions which it once sadly lacked.
These games are are helping to make the
homes of the country happier, helping to
make the children more contented with
their homes, and in doing this they are
helping to make the country more intel
igent and more virtuous. By wise pa
rents these games are looked upon as es-
sential. They help solve the problem of
home amusements and recreation; and
this, as all parents know, is one of the
gravest problems they have to solve.
Parents, make your homes as happy as
you possibly can for your children and
their mates. Fill them with fun and
frolic and the cheerfulness of spirited
social life. Play these games with your
children yourselves and thus share their
joys with them; and feed your happi-
ness on the spectacle of theirs. A great
many homes are like the frame of harp
that stands without strings. In form
and outline they suggest music; but no
melody rises from the empty spaces; and
thusit happens that home is unattractive,
dreary and dull. Let us hope that this
introduction of pleasant games-which
try both the wit and patience of the chill
dren, and of the older ones too for that
matter,-may become the fashion of the
times, until every home in the land shall
be perfectly furnished with these Access
series of profit and pleasure. For the
children's sake, let reformation go on I'M
til every child shall have, in his fathers
house, be it humble or costly, such ap-
planes and helps for his entertainment
that he shall find his JOY under his faith
er's roof and in his mothers presence

COTTAGE PUDDING.-One cupful of
milk, half cupful of sugar, one pint of
Hour, three eggs, two spoonfuls cream of
tartar, and one of soda, added before
baking.
LEAVES OF AN OLD Ivy SToCK.-To
make an ivy leave out between the pot
and the end of the vine, pinch off the
leaves at the end of the vine, and give
liquid manure fortnightly.
The Scientific american says: Borax
does not injure laces and cambrics. A
teaspoonful added to an ordinary kettle
OF hard water in which it is allowed to
boil, will efectually soften the water.
POUND CAKE-One pound sugar and
three-quarters of pound of best butter
beaten to a cream, seven well beaten
eggs Cheat yolks and Writes separately

crate and even oven.
SPONGE CAKE.-Two cupfuls of sift-
ed flour, two of powdered sugar; four
well beaten fresh eggs, whites and yolks
beaten separately; one-half teacupful
cold water; one teasDOonful cream of
tartar sifted in the flour; half teaspoon
full soda dissolved in a very little hot
water; flavor with the juice and grated
rlnd OF half lemon; bake 20 minutes
IN shallow tins.
APPLE BUTTER.-Boil down one bar
rel of cider to about one-half; then add
the quarters of two or three bushels of
sweet apples, according to the strength
required; as soon as the apples begin to
stew use stirrer continually until done,
being careful to have all pieces of apples
stew up; when the apples are stewing
you can season with cinnamon or sasa-
fras as desired; for sweet apple-butter
use sweet cider: use copper kettles.

10 soak it one night: cover it with a
plate to keep it down; before putting it
into the oven beat from three to seven
eggs, according to the size of the pud-
ding, milk enough to have it moist, but
not to have it run over in the oven; add
also little wine or brandy; to be eaten
With brandy sauce.
THE CARE OF GERANIUMs. = The
geraniums which have lost their foliage
most probably needs reporting. Shake
off all the earth from the roots, and set
them in soil which you have prepared
press the fresh earth around the plants,
and give them little water, placing
them in the shade for six or seven days.
Cut them back if they are we'll grown.
They do not require to be kept very
warm, only so that they Will not freeze.
The towering maple must be taken out
of the pot, and the roots washed. Scrub
the pot and fill it with new earth, in
which reset the plant. Wash slugs off
with whale oil soap, and if this does not
prove efectual, smoke the plant with to-
bacco, by putting tobacco in a saucer
with a live coal on it, and holding the
plant over the fumes

Value Of Manure.

Mr.. Frank A. Gulley read a paper on
making and applying manure before the
State Pathological Society, in which he
gives an account Of an experiment with
oats on field of twenty one acres, which
had been cropped for several years with
out manure. The soil was of equal fertili-
ty throughout. On the farm was pile
of COW manure a year old, which was
hauled on to twelve acres of this field
after the ground was plowed, and was
distributed evenly over the surface.
There were twenty-five loads of it, est
mated worth S35, and the cost of hand
ling was SO. The twelve acres MANFRED
yielded 543 bushels, or 49 bushels to the
acre; the unmanured nine acres gave
$50 bushels, or 20 bushels per acre. The
manure increased the crop 90 bushels per
acre, or 303 bushels, worth 80 cts. per
bushel, or $151.50.
The cost of preparing the ground, seed,
sowing and reaping was the same per
acre on the whole field. The cost of
binding, drawing and threshing was more
on the MANFRED portion, but as the straw
was twice as heavy we will let that bal
ance the extra work. The manure and
drawing cost $50; therefore, $50 expend-
ed in manure made an increase in the
crop of $151.50, or g profit of $101. so in
one season. In. addition to this the
clover made good catch on the MANFRED
land, while on the rest it hardly grew at
all. Mr.. Gulley makes a speciality of
onion-growing, and he finds that marsh
muck with manure increases the crop.
He had applied the muck to raspberries
with good results.-Detr0H Tribune.

An Old Vessel Recovered.

The fishermen living on the lonely
Island of Hitteren, off the coast of Nor
way, have had for generations tradition
that in shoals near the island, over a
century ago, large ship was wrecked.
Divers searched for the vessel this sum-
mer, and easily found her. Since then
PORTIONS of the cargo, including 90 can
non, II anchors and 200 pounds of lead
have been recovered. The cannon bear
the date of 1716. 1t has been discover
ed that the Inflated ship was a Russian
man-of-war, and that while on a voyage
from Cronstadt to Archangel in 1850, she
went down.
