Firm Butter Without Ice.

From w. p. Hazards treatise on
butter and butter making, we ex-
tract the following: "In families. or
where the dairy is small, good
plan to have-butter cool and firm
without ice, is by the process of
evaporation, as practiced in India
and other warm countries. A cheap
plan is to get a very large-sized,
porous, earthen flower-pot, with an
extra large saucer; half fill the sau-
Ger with water, set in it a trivet or
light stand-such as is used for
holding hot irons will do; upon this
set your butter; over the whole
invert the flower-pot, letting the top
rim~of it rest in and be covered by
the water; then close the hole in
the bottom of the flower-pot with a
cork; then dash water over the
aower-pot, and repeat the process
several times day, or whenever it
looks dry. If set in a cool place,
or where the wind can blow on it,
it will rapidly evaporate the water
from the pot, and the butter will be
as firm and cool as if from an ice
house.

Observation.

The practice of noting things
and events in their simple exist
ence will gradually accumulate a
store of knowledge, from which we
may derive help in every turn of
life. 1t is the observant man that
is the man of resource. The happi
est inventions are the result of
much silent observation. 1t is in
dispensable to all whose business
it is to guide or rule their fellows.
In the family it supplies what is
most needed to prevent jars, to ease
discomforts, to remedy mischiefs,
to make up deficiencies. In socie
ty it obviates blunders, suggests
felicitous improvisations, steers
ones course clear of sunken rocks,
explains things which might other
wise appear anomalous, and nips
silly suspicious in the bud. To
the Statesman it is invaluable; for,
though there may be brilliant ora
torieal power without it, it is i'm
possible that there can be wise adj
ministration.

Carriers for Children.

Children should never wear gar
ters, as the stockings cah be kept
up perfectly well by an attachment
of elastic straps to the waistband.
If carriers are worn, it is important
to know how to apply them without
the least risk of harm. At the
bend of the knee superficial veins
of the leg unite and go deeply into
the under part of the thigh, beneath
the hamstring tendons. Thus a
ligature below the knee obsructs
all the superficial veins, hut if the
obstruction is above the hamstring
tendons keep the pressure of the
veins which return the blood 10 the
legs. Unfortunately most people,
in ignorance of the above facts, APP
ply the garter below the knee.
Elastic bands are the most inju-
rious. They foliow the movement
OF the muscles and never relax their
pressure upon the veins. Noaelas
tic bands, during the muscular ex
ertions, become considerably re-
taxed at intervals, and allow freer
of the blood.

A Mothers Worth.

Many discouraged mother folds
her tired hands at night, and feels
as if she had, after all, done moth
ing, although she had not spent an
idle monet since she rose. Is it
nothing that your little helpless
children have some one to come to
with all their childish griefs and
joys? Is it nothing that your hus-
band feels "safe," when he is away
to his business, because your care
full hands directs everyth ing at
home? Is it nothing when his bus
mess is over, that he has the blessed
refuge of home, which you have
that day done your best to bright
en- and refine? Oh, weary and faith
full motherl you little know your
power when you say: 81 have done
There is a book in
which fairer record than this is
written over against your name.

Truths.

That which the heart mos asks
is that which no word can convey.
Honesty, PATRIOTISM, religion,
these have had their hypocrites for
life, but passion permits only mo-
mentary dissemblers.
Friendship is dangerous word
for young maidens; it is, in reality,
love full fledged, and waiting for a
fine day to fly.
Praises OF the unworthy are felt
by ardent minds as robberies of the
deserving.
Love is like the sandal tree that
sheds sweetness on the AK that
wounds It.
Mems words to women are no
kinder when written than when they
are uttered.
Habit dulls estacy, and custom
is sad damper to emotion.
Our weaknesses cost us a thou
sand times more regret and shame
than our faults.

Two Ways.

81 declare, Willie has upset the
water pitcherr' exclaimed Mrs.
Smith. And hastily jumping up
and throwing down her sewing, she
pounced upon her two year old boy
like tiger, and seizing him by one
arm, gave him two or three smart
slaps, and with no gentle move
ment sat him on a chair at the
other end of the room, bidding him
remain there until he could keep
quiet. The scream Willie set up at
this mode of procedure showed as
much anger as grief. He evidently
felt that his mother was a stern,
unfeeling tyrant, aud, to his mind,
not loving, patient, and gentle
mother.
Now, by strange coincidence,
Mrs. Jones, who was sewing in a
house over the way, just about this
time happened to look up from her
work, and saw her little Johnny
just in the act Of upsetting a water
pitcher.
ooh, Johnny! mother is so sorry
you have spilled the water" said
Mrs. Jones, in a quiet but sorrow
Jul tone, as she gently lifted him
into chair, while she first wiped
up the water, and then with a low
ing, careful hand removed his wet
stockings and shoes, rubbed his feet
dry, and put on dry ones. Johnny's
little heart was melted, and looking
to his mother with fearful eyes, said:
Johnny sorry, mamap'
"Mother is sorry, too" said Mrs.
Jones. "Johny must never touch
the water pitcher. He won't touch
it again, will hep" said she more
cheerfully, as she took him in her
arms and kissed him.
mo; Johnny WON'T" said the lit
tie fellow, with heart full of love
to his mother and good resolutions
for the future, he went again to his
play. Which was the better way,
mothers?

For Farmers.


A contemporary paints the boy
on the farm wading in mud and
snow to feed the stock, hauling
manure, cleaning out bitches, aud
doing many other disagreeable
things through winter. In spring
he is piowing, rain or shine, and
planting in all kinds of weather.
In summer he is perspiring over
the culture of his crops and the
harvest. Fall finds him still har
vesting in heat and dust Life on
the farm, says our contemporary, is
but one constant burden, and he
adds: under these conditions he
is apt to form resolutions to fit
himself for other purposes or pro-
LESSONS in life, whenever he finds
it in his power to do So"
We are willing to admit that this
picture is not sadly overdone-
there is not enough in it, however.
Everything has two sides to it, as a
general rule, and farm life is no ex-
ception. Our contemporary has
given but one side in this case-the
darkest side. He has entirely left
out of his picture the bright sun
shine, the salubrious air, the sweet
song of the birds, the fragrant flow
ers, the fruit-laden orchards, the
fresh vegetables, the sweet scented
meadows, the waving grain fields,
the stalwart frame, the strong mus
cles, the active limbs, the sound
mind in healthy body-lovely ma
ture in her purest, freshest aspect, and
the farmers independence Of the
rest of the world. do not enter into
that picture. The farmer has hard
ships, must toll, often late and |
early, but he has also his pleasures
and enioyments, such as the city
cannot know.
Besides, does the boy who signs
for some other calling, and looks
longingly toward the city, ever
think of the toll and disappoipt
ment that would await him there?
Would be be a physician? No

morn or dewy eve. noon or mid
night, alike may summon him from
or his dreams; and, in
stead Of the delightful forms of
growing nature that surrounded
him on the farm, the pains, deform
tiles and miseries of humanity must
be his constant companions. Would
he be a lawyer? Toll, constant,
brain wearing toll, await
him there crime, in all it's hideous-
ness, must be constantly arrayed
before him. Would he be mer-
chant? Tramp, tramp, tramp-for

Who would succeed in it must move

which to float up to eminence; but
IN the farm each bitter has it's

For the citizen.l
TO ONE LOVE.

The one love they call her dove,
That name will never do;
She ne'er was seen the fields to glcan,
And like the dove sing coo.
But as love this precious dove,
She shall assume her name;
I'll wait it high to the azure sky,
Entwined with love and fame.
When on the hills or near the rills,
I'll help sweet birds to sing
And sound thy name combined with fame
Until these woodlands ring.
When near the spot of my sole cot,
I'll love this maiden fair:
Ny cot I'll view then think of you,
And wish that you were there.
May that bright sun on this fair one
Shed forth its brightest rays;
May sweet birds sing while on the wing
Her name with fondest praise.
When first met this darling pet,
A most enchanting thrill
Cheered this heart and did impart
Sweet charms that linger still.
When her you see you will agree
None with her can compare;
Her style is neat, with smiles so sweet,
And winning ways so fair.
Wit thou that heart to me impart,
While youth is bout my ways;
I'll run to meet and kiss you sweet,
And bless you all my days. RENEL.

The Cow for Small Farms.

We copy the following from the
Practical Farmer: Do men who
own small farms keep three or four
cows for the purpose of raising
calves for sale, or for the butter the
COWS produce? OF course the reply
is for butter. Then the breed to
be selected is that best adapted to
butter making. Observation and
experience both go to prove that
the Jersey, is above all others, the
butter cow. They are easily kept,
very docile and beautiful, giving
milk of superior richness, from
which is produced finely-colored,
solid butter, having an unequalled
texture and flavor.
There are prodigies in any breed,
but the ordinary Jersey COW can be
relied on to give one pound per day,
and to average that, the year round.
They do not go dry long; often
times it is difficult to dry them off
before calving. A record from ten
to sixteen pounds of butter per
week is not at all rare. How much
better then for the housewife who
aids her husband in his efforts to
gather around him the comforts of
a true home by purchasing house
hold necessities by the sale of the
dairy produce, to have cows that
reward her labor by giving guam
tity of rich golden butter, so solid
and waxy that it will command
few cents extra on the pound. A
Jersey costs less to keep than a
COW. If she produces a
heifer calf, if a grade it is worth |
more than the butcher will give for
a scrub calf; if a thorough, at five
days old it is worth from fifty to
one hundred dollars. On large |
farms where the raising of cattle
for beef is an object, the short-horn |
is the COW needed, but on all small |
farms where the butter is made for
market, the Jersey cow is exactly |
what is or should be necessity.
