Percentage OF Cream and Butter.

In speaking of the percentage of
cream from a given quantity of milk, an
exchange says there is mo necessary re-
~lationship between the percentage of
cream and butter production of the
milk, and experiments have proved that
OF two milks, one with the smallest
quantity of cream, as indicated by the
percentage glass, yielded the more but
ter. Indeed, the per cent of cream in
dlcated by the narrow cream guage is a
fallacious guide. There is only one way
at present known to test the quality of
milk, and this is the making butter from
a known quantity of milk. 1t may be
satisfactory to claim forty per cent. of
cream from milk, bat is it useful? The
quantity Of cream milk will yield is of
importance to tn seller Of cream. 1t
does not indicate the butter yield of a
COW. Per cent. of cream and per cent.
OF butter are two entirely different mat
ters when used to express the richness
OF a cows milk. \ quart of milk which
throws up four per cent. Of cream, may
make more butter than a quart of milk
which throws up ten per cent. of cream.
1t is probable that the percentage glass
may give indication of the quality of
the butter from a COW, and tell some
thing of the c~hurning quality of the
cream, but it does not and cannot tell
the butter richness of the milk"

Farm vs.. City Life.

An aged correspondent Of the Maine
farmer gives a short history Of the
family Of one of his neighbors: He
has a family of three boys and three
glrls-all are now living and have fam
lilies. One Of the sons and one of the
daughters went to Boston to- seek their
fortunes when they became Of age, while
the others remained and settled as far
mers and farmers wives, within a few
miles OF the p%aternal roof. In their
younger days the Boston couple would
occasionally visit their old birthplace,
and by their fine clothes and a liberal
display Of jewelry became almost the
envy Of us country boys, we inferring
that Boston was a good place to get
rich, speedily. Twenty years have now
passed away-the boys and girls who
settled down in Maine have fine thrifty
farms well stocked-nice farm buildings
are out Of debt, enjoy all the comforts
OF life, and in fact are what is known as
well-to-do" families. Being in Bos-
ton a few months ago, / called to see my
old neighbors. They resided in hired
tenement houses, in the fourth story on
a narrow and confined street and COM
planned Of very dull times, with but lit
tie employment and small compensation
for labor; and they informed me that if
it were not for assistance received from
their brothers and sisters in the country
they could not make a living during the
present dull times"

Domestic Economy.
Boil everything slowly.

Boil everything slowly.
Tea does not give strength.
Apples are the healthiest fruit.
"Middlings" -four contains the best
elements d wheat.
Slow and long cooking will make
tough meat tender.
The following is a good recipe for ma
king purple ink: Boil one ounce Of
ground logwood in one and a half pints
of soft water and half an ounce Of pull
verified alum. Boil for twenty minutes,
strain, and bottle for use. Keep the
air out, and it will keep for a long
time.
When your Canary bird is affected
with the asthma, dip a small feather in
pure sweet oil and pass up the nose; if
once does not effect a cure, try again,
being careful not to get any oil around
the eyes; at the same time give the bird
red pepper tea, and a little milk in it.
Paint brushes that are as hard as a
bone can be cleaned perfectly, and made
soft and silky, by putting into soft soap
for a day OF two, when the paint can be
washed out. Care should be taken that
the soap does not extend up over where
the bristles are fastened, as it would
cause them to fall out.
To make cream fritters, take one and
one-half pints Of -four, n pint of milk,
six well beaten eggs, one-half nutmeg,
two %teaspoonfuls Of salt, one pint of
cream; stir the whole enough to mix the
cream; fry in small cakes.
To wash Shaker flannel use tepid wa
ter; soften the water with pulverized
borax; use very little soap-it hardens
the flannel; also, use a little borax in
the rinse-water; be careful to rinse the
soap well out, and, after ~wringing, shake
well before hanging it up to dry,
Any one will find relief for earache
by putting in a spoon two OF three drops
OF sweet oil, or, better still, almond oil,
the same of molasses and laudanum;
warming it all together. Absorb some
OF the mixture in COTTONWOOD; put it in
the ear with a piece Of the wool outside
to keep out the cool air: repeating the
thing if necessary. A roast onion-heart
dipped in this and surrounded with cot
ton is also often very eficacious.
TO prevent the hair from falling out,
pour a wine-glassful of dry table salt
upon a sheet of paper. While the hair
is dry dip a metallic hair-brush or a stiff
bristle hair-brush into the salt, rubbing
1t into the roots of the hair. Apply ev-
cry day until the hair ceases to fall;
then discontinue it. Alum water will
check the fall of hair that has become
saturated and drowned with the use of
oils, acting as an a%stringent. A strong
decoction of the herb 'boneset' is a
good tonic for the hair.
To put a durable dark blue on iron or
steel without heat, apply nitric acid, and
let it eat into the iron a little, then the
metal will be covered with a thin film
of oxide. Clean, oil and burnish.

A New Manure for Flowers.

A manure called "Le Floral" has been
produced in France, which appears to
have a wonderful effect upon flowers by
promoting a bright color, accompanied
by a robust habit and rapid growth.
The manure is in the form of powder,
and is quite soluble in water, and is
said to contain all those elements Of
food which are essential for producing
the finest plant growth.
As a test Of the extraordinary power
of lie Floral, it may be tried upon plants
placed in pure sand, or any still less fer
tile material, such as powdered glass.
There are four different preparations Of
the manure, and Messrs. Sutton & Sons
state they have been prepared according
to the following principles:
1t has been found by experiments that
the flow of sapi is regulated by the supply
of suitable plant food to the roots, by the
amount of moisture Tor water) given off
by the leaves of plants, and also that
this evaporation occurs in proportion as
the leaves are large and porous.
Stable manure, and other slowly de-
composing products, can only gradually
ne TAKEN up as lOOu ny pants, Dul by
applying lie Floral the roots Of plants
are not subjected to any effort in alb
sorbing its nutritive elements. as these
are presented in the same chemical com
binations as they occur in the plants
themselves.
When, on the other hand, plants are
treated with unsuitable manures, the
mineral constituents taken up by the
roots deposit themselves in solid parti-
cles in the tissues of the leaves. the re-
suit of which is that evaporation is
checked and the leaves become yellow
and droop, and the plant loses vitality
of growth. AS, therefore, the growth
of a plant depends on the supply of
proper plant food, and on the sufficient
flow of sap through the stem, branches
and leaves, we must endeayor to supply
plants with food which is at once capa-
Bile of being absorbed by the roots, and
will not check the evaporation from the
leaves.
In the preparation of lie Floral the
amount of mineral-plant food has been
regulated according to the evaporating
power of plants. -London Farm.

The Bruneau System Of Strengthening
Cattle.

The following description of this the
French system of slaughtering cattle will
interest many of our readers: A lea
Their mask, called the forehead pin
mask" is strapped over the bullock's
eyes and face. In the center of the
mask directly over the mid-forchead, is
al iron plate, fitted into the leather the
under surface being fiat and close to the
head. In the middle Of the plate is a
round hole, into which the bolt or pin is
inserted. The death-blow is dealt with
a wooden mallet on the head of the pin,
which pierces the brain an inch or two,
usually killing the bullock at once
Finding that death would come quicker
the inventor adopted a pin that was hol-
lowed out at the lower end to form a
punch, and conveys enough air to the
brain to render the brute insensible.-
The blow is now given obliquely, forcing
the bolt into the spinal marrow, and
finishing the work instantly. The ap-
paratus costs in France about six dol
lars, and the time consumed in killing a
bullock is scarcely more than half a
minute. The mallet used measures less
than one yard weighs only five or six
pounds, and may be handled effectively
by a boy, while blindfolding renders the
most fractions animal perfectly quiet
and gentle
