Working Butter.

Do not work too much nor too fast
Work slowly until all the salt is thor
oughly and evenly absorbed. Other
wise the butter will not be of uniform
color. Working it too fast will destroy
the grain, and the butter becomes salvy
and lard-like in its texture. Let it
stand or put it away in the tray for
twenty-four hours. Then work it enough
to remove all the buttermilk or sur
plus brine, so that the butter may be-
come dry or like a piece of cheese.
Mold into rolls and set these away for
twenty-four hours, or until they be-
come 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 exact size and dipped in brine,
and the butter rolled when the cloth is
dripping wet. Butter should never
come in contact with the bare hand.
When in bulk it can be easily handled
with ladle and a fiat paddle. -Ameri-

1t takes a smart man to be sue
cessful farmer. am well aware that
quite different opinion is entertained
by many. How often do we hear the
expression: He is only farmer" or
hear the business spoken of in depre-
catory manner by presumably intelli-
gent and otherwise well-informed peo-
pie. This is great mistake and only
shows lamentable ignorance. The bust
ness of farming is a strictly honorable
one, and, if rightly conducted, one of
the most healthy, pleasant and profita-
Bile employments that man can en-
gage in.
In order to be a successful farmer,
however, man must be as intelligent,
and must understand his business as
thoroughly, as he who is a successful
merchant or professional man. In order
to succeed in any business, man must
understand it fully in all its branches,
and must also attend to it. This is the
great secret of good farming. All our
most successful farmers-those who
have made money by the business
who have built up for themselves beau
tiful homes-who have broad, fertile,
well-tilled acres, made so by the result
of their industry, who have improved
breeds of cattle, hogs and sheep, these
| are they who understand their business,
and not only understand it, but attend
to it. The business is a good one, and
the reason why so many farmers make
Il failure of it, only eking out bare
! living-hardly that sometimes-andr re-
main in debt year after year, working
hard, yet having little, is because they
don't understand their business. They
run it by brute force instead of brains.
They pattern too much by others (gen-
orally after a poor eXample), and do
not look into the why and wherefore of
raising crops. They are not able to
tell how much it costs them to raise a
crop, or what their profit may be, if any.
They are generally st too poor to take
a paper. They use the same old and
clumsy tools that their fathers did be-
fore them, and are not in favor of i'm
provements. Is it to be wondered at
that such farmers are not successful?
Another way to improve is to watch
those of your neighbors who are most
ccessful-observe their management,
the crops they raise, manner of tilling
and handling, Watch closely, and you
can learn as much from their hlunders as
you can from their successes. When
they make mistake, remember it, and
do not do the same, Keep an account
of each crop you raise, expense of seed,
culture and marketing. Find out
whether it pays you or not Discard
those that are Improbable and adopt
others that will pay. Keep an account
of all your receipts and expenses. Many
dollars slip out every year on foolish
expenses that would not if you made a
practice of writing down all expenses.
See to it that the balance is on the right
side of the ledger at the end of the year.
Spend your leisure hours in making
improvements on the farm, or in use
full reading at home, instead of sitting
around in the grocery at the corners y
Try to make your home pleasant and
the most attractive place on earth.
These are all helps toward becoming a
good farmer.-B &. Packard, in Cou1a-
| t'y Gentleman.

A Boston Girl.

The following, from a Wisconsin COR
respondent, shows at how early an age
people born at the g HUB take on their
self-consciousness:
Not many days since, in a Western
city, a young lady of ten summers was
engaged watering the plants on the
lawn. A lady stopped at the garden
gate, and the following dialogue oc-
cured:
''Sissy, is Mrs. W at home?'
"Did you address me, madam" (Se-
verely.)
Yes; 1 asked is Mrs. W at
home"
"No, madam. Mrs. W is my
aunt, and Mrs. W is not at home. ="
"Will you tell her Mrs. M
calledp'
Certainly, madam" (Graciously }
You won't forget the name?'
Certainly not, madam. l am not
much acquainted here, but shall re-
member the fame: an Boston
girl" And she serenely continued to
water the flowers. Editor s DrGUer, IN

The following comes from Vermont,
and the reader can believe it or not, as
seems to him advisable: Recently a
young son of John Anderson, in Crafts
bury, got about half an inch of a sewing
needle into his side, near the short ribs,
which the doctor failed to remove (the
needle, not the ribs). A woman said
that the tongue of Il fox would extract
it, and, sure enough, when one was
procured and applied, the bit of steel
was drawn out in about twenty-four
hours"

Household Economy.

The housekeeper or cook who studies econ
omy in the kitchen, can do so in one direction
by always using DooLEY's YEAST POWDER. 1t
will be found truly economical and valuable
assistant in baking biscuits, rolls, bread, cake
Of all kinds watfes, mullins, and most all ar
ticles prepared from flour; and why! Because,
in using the Dooley Powder, you save in eggs,
in shortening, in patience, in everything; and
when the baking is DONE it is turned out light,
palatable and wholesome, so that every morsel
is eaten UP and no waste.

The city Of Pssth has almost accom-
plished the task OF obtaining an un.
limited supply Of nearly boiling water.
which will be available for public and
private use. The ready heated huid is
obtained from q deep artesiAn well. from
which. when completed, the water will
issue in a mighty fountain to the hight
Of nearly fifty feet. The deepest srtesian
well in the world has hitherto been that
at Paris. which measures 1894 feet in
depth. The Pssth we'll has already al
tanned q depth Of $3.50 feet. and will.
when bored the required depth. more
than double the depth Of its Paris rival.
The water now issuing from tho bowels
Of the earth. thrse-hiths OF n mile below
the surface. has q temperature OF lGl
degrees Fahrenheit. and the work will
be prosecuted until = warmth OF i7s do
gress Fahrenheit is obtained. The
meaning OF these figures will be better
understood when IL IL remembered that

degrees. while that Of boiling water is
2l2 degrees. The daily supply Is
already 10000 gallons. q quantity
which will DO greatly increased at the
enhanced depth. The work progresses
at the rate OF fifty feet q month. and
