Charming cream to make good butter IS

It must be churned at the proper tune anu
at the proper temperature, ana the cn'fh

broken, but lefore the butter has gathered

great Importance to watch the process close

take place. At this time add enough cold

of the mass to about N or So degrees, and

a layer of butter into the tray, and sprinkle
on finely sifted salt, at the rate OF about an
ounce of salt to the pound (more or less as
consumers may wish). Then take out an

ing before preparing it for marketing. If
the butter is soft and white, it is from lack
of proper cooling before churning, and it
may be hardened by putting in about three
times the usual amount OF salt and working

tus, monstrosities or even abortion, 1 have
vet to be convinced that, rs a general thing,
when the mother is not III this condition,
the diseases Of one parent are any more
likely to@be transmitted than those OF the
other. end | should like very much to see
the facts which prove that any disease OF
the mother has an influence on the embryo
after i~mpregnation, i'll any other way than
by al increase or diminution of the nutrl-
ton of the latter, or by the action 'of con-
tagious germ. Are we to believe, dor III
stance, that curb, SPAWN or blindness, are
no more apt to be transmitted by the moth
er than by the father?
The last assertion of Stonehenge brings
us face to face with the old theory OF But
fon. that has been copied by one writer az
ter another down to the present day, that
the male transmits his characters i'll the gen
eral conformation, the bones, muscles and
particularly the head neck and fore limbs
while the internal organs and hind limbs
resemble the mother. The mule and hlnny
have been most often pointed to as confir-
nations of this theory but Colin, who has
examined them with great care, concludes
that both of these animals resemble the ass
more than the horse. In addition, Samson
has brought two positive facts to bear OH
this theory, which about annilllate it. They
are as follows: The, ASS has five lumbar YER
tebra, the horse six; If, then, either parent
alone transmits unchanged the bony system,
the number of these bones in the mules
would be constant, and we should know
from which of the parents they were de-
rived. | may also add that if either the
male or female were alone prepotent, or il
either possesses the greatest hereditary liz
fluence, we should still expect to find the
number constant in this hybrid. But care
full examinations have shown that this num-
Der is not constant-sometimes the mule
has five, and sometimes six lumbar verte-
brn. Again. the offspring from camels
having one and two humps. are resembling
ene or the other parent, without regard to
their sex. We are consequently justified in
denying these theories, and in demanding
positive facts in support of others before &C
cepting them.
There are then, according to the obserya-
tons of the best authorities on the subject,
two general laws MAlich may be received on
this poipt, and which are, besides, quite
generally accepted. [ hope they will be
borne in nuind, as they will influence my
decision on some very important theories
to be discussed in my zen article. They
are as follows:
/. Tie respective influences of the par
ents on the offspring are about equal.
z. Wien this is not the case, other things
being equal, the influence of one is as like
ly to predominant us that of the other.-D

MILK FEVER.

BY sore experience | think [ have now
learned the only safe preventive of milk fe-
yer. A year ago l brought "Rosa" up to
calving in bony condition. She went
through safely. This year l allowed her to
get tat, though on OR ass only, and trusted
to Il reduction, by purging of the system.
previous to calsing. On the second day she
was taken sick, and OH the third day died.
This, with previous losses, has effectually
cured me of allowing Il COW to be fat at
calving time. Cows, different from all 9TH
er animals, it seems must not be in a pletl-
oric condition. have purposely to try it,
fed and forced brood mares. and never even
had one sick. Whether IL butter COW, from
the richness of her secretions. is more liable
to congestion, when. from the calf leaving
the body. those secretions have to be shifted
to the udder. | leave tor Psychologists to
say. But certain it is. that is the critical
time, and one that is fatal TO many of the
hest. | have lost five Of my choicest ami
lRals, and owners of some OF the best have
suffered in the same way.
For COWS in poor pasture Or that keep
their best COWS in fat condition. Will. SOON
er Or later. find that prevention will save
where cure would be impossible.-Cor. Ru-

WORKING BUrrRR.-Do not work too
much or too fast. Work slowly until all
salt is thoroughly ana evenly absorbed, If
the salt is not evenly absorbed the butter
will not be of uniform color. Working it
too fast Will destroy the grain and the but
ter becomes salyy and lard-like in it's text
ure. Let it stand or put it away in a tray
for twenty-four hours. Then work it
enough to remove all the buttermilk or
surplus brine so that the butter may become
dry or like Il piece of cheese. Mold into
rolls, then set them away Tor twenty-four
hours or until they are hard and firm. The
cloth should now be put on. so as to cover
one end while the other is left open for the
stamp. The cloth should be cut in pieces
OF the exact size and dipped in brine and
the butter rolled when the cloth is dripping
wet. Butter should never come in contact

Signs Of Q Prosperous Farmer.

When you see his barn larger than his
house, it shows that he will have large pro-
fits and small Affections.
When you see him driving his work in
stead of his work driving him, it shows that
it will never be driven from good resolutions
and that he will certainly work his way to
prosperity.
When you always see in his woodhouse q
suiIiciency for three months or more, it shows
that it will be ninety days wonder in farm
ing operations, and that he is not sleeping
in his house after drunken frolic.
When he has house separate from
the main building, purposely for ashes, and
an iron or tin vessel to transport them it
shows that he never built his dwelling to be
funeral pile for his family, and perhaps
himself.
When his sled is housed in summer, and
| his farming implements covered both in win.
ter and summer, it plainly shows that he
will have good house over his head in the
summer of early life, and the winter of ole
age.
When his cattle are properly fed and
shielded in winter, it evidences that he i.
acting according to Scripture, which say,
that 'a merciful man is mereiful to hi,
beast"
When he is seen subscribing for a news
paper and paying in advance, it shows thai
he is speaking like book respecting the la
test improvements in agriculture, and tha
he never gets his walking papers to the lane
of poverty.

How 10 Have Healthy Pigs.

Keep your pigs clean. Protect them from
the hot, reekipg bed of manure and close
sleeping place, where the emanations from
decomposing dung, urine, straw and other
organic matter are added to those of their
own skins and lungs when huddled together
in great numbers. See that both food and
water are clean, in the sense of being free
from disease germs, and from the microscop-
c particles of decomposing organic matter
which within the system as well as outside
of it, furnish appropriate TODD for the disease
poison, aud favor its increase, while they
depress its vital powers, and lessen the chan
ces of the virus being thrown off.
And it is here that the pork raisers are
most frequently at fault. Fifty or hundred
pigs are allowed to crowd together in filthy
manure heap, rotten straw stack, or under
a barn, subjected to the droppings of other
animals as we'll as their own products. Their
feeding troughs and drinking water are sup
piled that they can get into them with their
filthy feet, and they must devour the most
obnoxious matter or starve. If under this
abuse disease is developed, the healthy are
left with the sick, as "they all will have it
anyway" and the result is clean sweep.
When hog cholera exists, the sick should
be placed by themselves under a special at
tendant, and the free use of disinfectants
the healthy should be carefully watched, and
on the first sign of sickness or increased
temperature, as ascertained by the clinical
thermometer into the rectum, they should
be at once taken from the herd and careful
ly secluded. This, with active disinfection,
will enable the owner to cut short an out
break, and save, perhaps, the great majority
of an already infected herd. Again, the sale
of animals from an infected stock to be re-
moved from the premises alive should be Sc
verely punished, aud the disinfection of the
buildings where the sick have been, should
be made imperative. We shall obtain the
greatest success with this disease when we
treat it as contagious malady, and wherev-
er it be found to exist, give our main atten.
ton to prevent the further generation and
disnfection of the poison.

CHARCOAL FOR CHIcKENs.--"There is
one thing which nature does not supply, and
civilization, the Germantown Telegraph
thinks, renders quite necessary to fowls.
1t is charcoal. But charcoal made of wood
does not answer the purpose; 1t has no taste
of food, it is not attractive to the fowl, and
is seldom eaten. But if any one will put an
ear of ripe corn into the fire till the grains
are well charred, and then shell off the corn
and throw it to his flock, he will see an ca
gerness developed and healthy condition
brought about, which will make a decided
improvement All pale combs will become

laying will be heard, and the average yield
