considerable masses are settling in Fayette

Superstition dictates game of tag after
a Scottish wedding. Three weeks ago two
couples from Fearn were married and, as
matter of custom, proceeded, each with
their best men and maidens, to the church
to be "kirked." Now the fishermen on
that coast have been taught to believe that
the couple which first returns from
"kirking'' will be the most prosperous in
the district; and, naturally, before the
sermon was ended there were signs OF
uneasness in the congregation. When
the preacher made final pause, one OF the
bridegrooms, more anxious to run the race
that was set before him than to share in
the benefits of the benediction, made a
bound for the door, and beckoning to his
Young wife to follow. led off in a helter-
skelter home-stretch. The rival bridegroom
with the attendants was close upon his
heels, and in few minutes all the wedding
guests had scampered out Of sight.

Making Good Halter.

The American Grocer gives the follow
ing directions
/. Avoid worrying the cows in any
way, or getting them excited.
.. 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 of,
before beginning to milk.
3. Exclude all filth from milk and
strain as fast as MIXED. Ii it can he at
once strained into the pan for setting,
and the straining can be done without
entering the miikroom, all the better.
4. The best way is to have the milk
room so arranged that its temperature
can be kept uniformly at about sixty de-
grces, and then to use neither water or
ice around the milk Then leave the
temperature OF the milk to sink gradu-
ally to that of the room. The cream
will continue to rise as long as the TEN.
perature is falling, and more slowly
afterwards 1t will be mp in forty-eight
hours. IL should be skinned and kept
at the temperature of sixty degrees until
il becomes slightly acid, then it is fit to
churn. II any other method of setting
is adopted, it should not be one that will
not keep the milk sweet forty.eight hours
nor one which will not permit the cream
to rise in that time. 1t is more or les.
injurious, according to circumstances, tc
have tn. temperature of the room higher
than that OF the milk.
.. Never let cream get more than
slightly sour before churning, and churn
ing it at about sixty degrees, with mo-
tion equal 70 that given by thirty oil
forty strokes to the minnte by dashcl
covering three-iourths of the latera
space of the churn at the largest point

while in Jumps about the size of wheat
or buckwheat kernels, draw off or strain
out the buttermilk, and thoroughly wash
the butter with clear, cold water at about

carefully stir in, still avoiding packing
about one ounce of salt to each pound OF
butter Set the butter away in cool

day. when it is ready to work and pack

7. The packing should he done in clean
sweet packages and if the butter is in,
tended for long keeping, the packages
should be alright. They can be made
so by proper Use of the brine.
s. Butter so packed should be kept at
a temperature not above sixty degrees
nor below fifty degrees, and in an apart.
ment where there are no foul ordors from
vegetables, damp earth, or any other
source.
.. The milk of sick cows, or cows in
heat, should never be used for dairy pur.
poses, nor milk known to I've impure from
any cause whatever
10. II from any accident, neglect, OF

Hold" cried Jenkinson, "can the
squire have this lsdy's fortune if he be
married TO another? ?'
Undoubtedly he cannot" replied the
baronet.
"Well," said Jenkinson, "he is married
already; and, if the company restrain'
their curiosity few minutes, they shall
see his wife"
10 saying he darted of, and presently
returned with-Olivia
Squire" he cried, "this is your law
ful wife, and here is the license! You
commissioned me to get false license
and false priest, to deceive this young
| dy, but ] got trne license and true
priest"
y burst Of pleasure now seemed TO fill
the whole apartment. Mr.. Thornhill's
assurance forsook him, he fell on his
knees before his uncle and implored
compassion. Sir William promised him
bare competence to support the wants
of life, and ordered him to be gone.
All now hastened TO salute Olivia,
whose death Jenkinson and my wife had
thought it necessary to persuade me OF,
to procure my submission to the squire.
Sophia did not seem perfectly satisfied,
but Sir William soon relieved her doubts
by claiming her "a his own "loveliest
most sensible Of girls"
The next day there was joyful double
wedding, seasoned with the good news OF
the recovery of my fortune from my mer'
chant in town, who had been arrested at
Antwerp. All my cares were now over
it only remained that my gratitude in
prosperity should succeed my former
submission in adversity.

Fim~ Manure W. Long u,,wr-


Mr.. Ives, a successful New York farm
er, says:
have come to believe from repeated
experience in practice, that by applying
the manure while in raw OF fresh state,
il it is only fine enough to mix well with
the soil, it will do the most good that it
ever will though possibly a load might
60 farther after being fernented and rot
ted down, for in doing that the weight
and bulk is very much reduced. BY APP
plying it while comparatively fresh, the
process of rotting is done where its good
ness is all saved in the soil, like the vege.
table matter from good turf, OF a clover
crop, or from any vegetable growth
plowed under for green manuring. We
are told by scientific men that these-tbe
unfermentod manure as well as the green
vegetable matter = 90 through slow pro.
cess OF fermentation while rotting in the
soil, so that all their qualities are saved
and believe that the farmer using cut
feed, 81 that all the material that goes to
make the manure heap in fine, would find
no advantage in letting it ierment or 70,
before using it, when with long coarse
manure he must OF necessity put i,
through that process to have it short
enough to use
might also state that the amount Of
manure obtain yearly averages about
ten loads per head of horses and cattle
kept ; the horses being kept up through
the year, and the cattle six TO sever
months, besides being taken in every
night through the summer. All tn,
manure is kept under shelter, and tn,
horse manure so mixed with t at of the
cattle, and lrodden down, that it seldom
heats before it is drawn out ior use. Ter
loads to the acre, spread from;the wagor
as draw it, is the way generally use it
Taking up cattle every night through
the summer to augment the manure
heap. is an excellent practice Sheer
should be managed in the same way All
stock ought to have dry soft bed tc
sleep on, or in, such as straw or dry
forest leaves will furnish. 1t is perfec
comfort, so far as possible, that yields
