HANDLING MILK.

There is not little complaint often.
times of the manner in which some pa
irons of cheese factories and creame
ries handle milk. The Western Ratq'aI
has repeatedly enjolned upon its dairy
readers the prime necessity of cleanli-
ness at every step in the entire process
Of handling milk intended for either
butter or cheese. Suggestions have
often been given covering the whole
subject, and these have been embodied
in rules which some factories have
adopted to govern their patrons. In
substance these are:
Never, under any circumstances
put pail of milk into your can before
straining. One pail of unstrained
milk may spoil whole can, and one
can of impure milk will certainly in
jure all milk or cream with which il
comes in contact In the name OF
decency we beg of every patron to be
particular about milking and properly
straining his milk.
2.-Cans containing milk should
never be kept in q milking barn
during the night. The scent of the
stable (however we'll kept, will injure
the milk and spoil the nice flavor fresh
butter should have. An open shed, a
little distance from the barn, your
woodshed, or a cool kitchen, are the
only proper places for keeping milk
over night.
3.-Insist that your milking is done
in cleanly manner. Too much pains
cannot be taken in this particular.
Carelessness here will entail great
loss on the manufacturer and insult
the customer.
bed your COWS with sawdust, if
possible; it will keep your cows clean
and the stable sweet.
5.-Do not, under G9ay circumstances,
leave your pals and strainer in the
barn over night. Garry them to the
house and insist that they be properly
washed both morning and evening.
Much depends on this.
6.-Use only tin pals for milking.
Tin strainer pals are the best
for straining milk. Some dairymen
use strainer pals and also cloth
stretched across the can-thus strain
ing the milk twice. We advise this
double straining of milk. It costs you
but little trouble while it will great
ly add to the value Of the butter and
cheese made from your milk.

ITEMS IN POULTRY KEEPING.

DR.. A. M. Dickie, in the Southern
Poultry Journal, gives the following
items in the daily management of poul-
try: M
The hast floor for poultry house is
an earthen one. 1t should be smooth
and solid, and covered over with short
straw, hay, dry earth OF some such ma
terial, which shonld be frequently
changed to insure cleanliness. Every
time the floor is cleaned up, the whole
inside OF the house should be sprinkled
with solution Of carbolic acid-tWo
tablespoonful of acid to pail of wa
ter is enough; spray it thoroughly
through the whole house, floor, walls,
lroOsts, everywhere. Where the
runs are small, care must be taken to
prevent them from getting foul and
dirty. If the yard is very small, por-
ton of it should be spaded up every
day or two, and green food supplied
from without in the shape of sods,
grass, cabbages. lettuce, etc.
A little rack OF trough with a lat
ticed lid, is the best place to put green
food; otherwise the fowls will soil and
waste great deal of it. A feed trough
may be made by mailing together, V
shaped, two boards, one five inches, the
other four inches wide. Nail on end
pieces, to prevent upsetting, and then
it is done. Some people do not like a
trough to feed in, but where fowls are
confined to small runs. it will be found
best to use the troughs. Of course
they must be kept clean. Water YES
sells are needed unless there is running
water within reach of the fowls. Tin
pals are good water vessels. They
should be so arranged that the fowls
cannot scratch dirt into them, or foul
them with their droppings.

HELPING HUSBANDS.

Scribner's correspondent gives an
amusing description of one class of
husbands, and while we must admit
them to be too numerous, let us not
forget those who are really the help
they appear to be.
There are laboring man-farqners,
who think it is quite enough that the
wife should have the care of the little
ones through the day; and I have
known such men to carry a restless,
teething child half the night, so that
it's mother might rest. And another

waterfall before the mother thought
there was cause for alarm. And third.
who was called to distant State, and
his inexperienced wife was wasting her
little strength in the attempt to fill the
place Of nurse to the suffering little
one the father had never seen. He
came at last, an angel angel in disguise.
for who could suspect that the man of
forty years, who had never had the
care of childred, should so suddenly
develop a faculty for ministering to-
the wants Of the little one, that many
mother might envy? TenderlY he
relieved the overtaXed mother; using
the same gentle sense required in deal
ing with adults, reasoning from cause
to effect; he soon had the mother rest
ing, with the perfect assurance that
her child had competent nurse. One
of this class of husbands will not only
help dress one, but will wash, comb,
and dress two Or three, and hear the
older ones recite their lessons, while
the mother prepares the breakfast. OF
course farmer would not have the
leisure in the morning, but he could
follow in the wake of the thoughtful
man who relieves his wife of load of
care, by spending his evenings with his
amusing and instructing them
in so many different ways, that thew
scarcely realize that they are review
ing the same dull lessons they have,
puzzled their brains over through the
day.
And here is where fathers work
"a husbands helps most appreciat-
ed. He cannot employ his hands
through the long evenings in making
and repairing his children's garments,
but he can carry on the work that the
with her never-ending cales,
finds progressing SO imperfeetly, under
her exclusive management. If there
were more of this class of fathers,
there would be many mere cheerful,
happy wives, and noOler sons and
daughters Western Rural.

degrees less heat, SO many more deaths,
and Uice 0e7sG. In arecent fortnightly
report, MI. Russell says: THE death
rate in the first week Of the fortnight
was tWenty-one, and in the second
week twenty-five. The mean temper
allure in the former week was 40.8 de-
grees Fahrenheit; in the latter 39.5 de-
grees." He attributes the low rate of
the first week to the high mean tenn
perature Of the preceding fortnight,
which was Alb degrees, and adds
''This is a good illustration Of law
which we frequently observe in these
reports of temperatures and death
rates-that a week of low temperature
produces d rise in mortality the week
following"
In our climate it would probably be
difficult to find more frequent cause
of serious ailments than taking cold.
Whatever weak place we have, what
ever constitutional disorder we be sub
ject to, cold will surely discover. We
take cold because our vitality is too
low to ward off the effects of the re-
duced temperature around us. AS a
matter of the first Importance, then, to
resist cold and the various derange-
ments consequent, it IS necessary by
proper nutrition to maintain our nat
ural animal heat; second, to retain this
heat by sufficient quantity of cloth
ing; third, to regulate with care the
temperature of the air we breathe.
Contrary to rhe opinion current among
lovers of cold weather, a fire in a bed
room in the winter is cheaper and bet
ter than doctors bill; for, owing to
our inactive condition during Sleep
the circulation of the vitalizing blood
is both slow and imperfect, and hence
the danger of taking cold by breathing
cold air is greatly increased.
A cold is the beginning of every
thing that is bad. If any one con-
scious of having caught one feels cold
chills creeping up the back, let HIM up
ply mustard plaster to the bottom OF
the spine and lower part of the back
at once; and by SO doing he may avert
dangerous illness before it is too late
and medical advice can be procured

CHANGE OF FORTUNE.
From the Chicago Post.

q. .ls FROM the CnlcagO Post. sa5i##
1t was one of the effects of The So
called "good times produced by the
war that many very illiterate. and vul-
gar people, because of suddenlyacquir-
ed wealth, wera elevated, or attempted
to elevate themselves, to positions
which they were utterly incompetent
to fill, where they made themselves the
laughing-stock of those around them
by their absurd mistakes and supercil-
ious airs. The strange and sad coun-
part of this is now seen in the wide
spread impoverishment of people of
wealth and refinement by the refuent
wave of fortune, and the placing of
thousands OF them in positions to
which they are almost as iH-adapted as
those SO suddenly elevated.
The impoverishment of those whose
wealth consisted in real estate and
whose income was derived from rents,
or of the hundreds of thousands of
those who held bonds Of now bankrupt
railroads and manufacturing compa-
MES, has inflicted an amount of suffer
ing which cannot be realized by those
who have been accustomed in some
way or other, through this employment
OF that, to secure at least a comforta-
bic living. With income absolutely
cut off, with 10 preparation or adapta-
bility for seeking employment in the
usual channels, and with the already
OvercroWded ranks of those seeking
employment to contend with, there
comes time when there is no food, no
fuel. Then comes the sacrifice of per-
sonal effects. The first things to go
are usually the watches and jewelry of
the family. Then follow such articles
of furniture as are ornamental rather
than useful. The pawnbrokefs' shops
and second hand stores in all cities tell
tales of distress, of sacrifice, of morti-
fcation. But even this dependence
fails at length, and then there is actu-
al hunger and cold; and education re-
fnement and capability do not I'M the.
least mitigate the pain Of these. Tn
der such circumstances, and with such
levers upon them, men and women
will accept any employment and any
position.
We have in our mind a brilliant and
cultivated young lawyer who started in
life with twenty thousand dollars and
a refined, beautiful and accomplished
wife. He is now sort of factotem in
carpet mandatory, running hither
and thither at the beck and call of
those whom he secretly despises, doing
heavy tasks far beyond strength, yet

HOW ICAN sTRAWBERRIE,

AAO w CAN Ina w DEhh1EkC.
1t is usually considered a difficult
thing to can the strawberry so that it
will endure the heat Of Summer. We
give our experience and the manner in
which. for eighteen years, we have
canned this delicious fruit for our own
use. We put the fruit in porcelain
kettle, with sugar enough to sweeten to
our taste, commonly one-third of a
pound of sugar to pound of the ber-
ries. This, however, will depend upon
the relative acidity of the fruit, some
kinds containing more acid than 9TH
ers. Then cook till the air is all ex-
PEELED. The glass cans meanwhile are
tempered by standing in hot water.
The boiling fruit is then placed in
those cans and the covers at once fast
ened on. When the cans are cooled,
we look them all over carefully, and
tighten any that may be loose. On an
average, during all our experience, we
have not lost to exceed five per cent,
and this is no more than we lose of
other fruit.
We formerly canned the Wilson's
Albany exclusively. but have found it
required SO much sugar to render it
palatable when cooked, that it was too
rich to be delicate and like the natural
fruit. This led us to try the less acid
berries, the Green Prolific and LUCINDA.
These we found were. far more delic-

There is a scene that haunts my sight,
Arrayed in every mournful light,
AS sunsets pensive CLEANS;
There memory gloomy pinioned scars ;,
There Pity walls of anguish pours
There Meditation dreams.
It's but waste of curling surge,
Where fixed upon the glimmering verge.
An islet looms alone:
Where seas in untitled thunders beat
To believing caves, and winds repeat.
A requiem deemed mine own.
IT'S where the Orb in fiery wrath
Through heaven cleaveS a middle path.
Where heel has seldom been;
And voice of man is rarely heard
Unawes the veering ocean bird
That hauntS the pillows green.
Amid the southern deep it lies
Once viewed with rrow-laden eyes,

mOurnful scene, yet sanctifed

And there entOmbed- there girded fast
