Packing Butter for winter Use.

The butter must be packed while perfectly
fresh. Immediately after the final working
it should be put away in the packages. If
only but five or six pounds, it is safe there !;
while if kept in lump or roll, it is exposed
on all sides to the air, begins TO spoil from
the first, and communicates its faint TO the
whole contents of the package with which it
is intermingled. The salt should be pure.

AFAcr NOT GENERALLY Known was

4 FACT NOT GENERALLY Known was stated
to us the other day by furnace manufacture
er, and people who are setting up stoves may
perhaps profit by it, The furnace man says
that heat passes readily in house from north
to south or from northwest TO southeast,
while only under the most favorable circum-
stances will it take the opposite direction. If
you have a stove in a room on the south side
Of your house, you will not be able in cold
weather to heat an adjoining room TO the
north Of it, no matter how good your stove
may be- while an able-bodied stove in the
north room will heat both Of them. The
idea is that the heat follows the course of the
wind outside, and the prevailing winds in
New England are northwesters. The fact as
to heat is one We have never seen stated be-
fore, but those who have had experience with
stoves will generally confirm til L,

There is a great difference of opinion in re-
gard to fattening turkeys, but experience has
shown breeders that the best way to get the
greatest number of pounds of flesh is to feed
all the birds will eat, right from the time they
hatch out till they are ready for market.
While they are running at large is the time
TO develop them. They undoubtedly get
much food in the fields, the shattered grain,
the choppers" worms, etc, but then this
must be supplemented by daily (or twice dai-
not bear confinement, especially when in
small focks or singly, and should never be
confined longer than a week or ten days be-
fore killing. An ordinary rail pen is one of
the best for the purpose, for they like to be
on the ground. At this time feed principally
on cooked or soft food and plenty of milk if
you have it to spare, giving occasionally hard
whole grain.

GIVE THE BoREB TASsY.-Eight years ago
planted an orchard Of l3j apple trees. and
planted the field with corn, giving it thorough
cultivation. One year from that time 1872 Of
my trees were dead-literally honeyeombed
by the borer. The remaining three were
healthy and sound They were on ground
previously occupied by garden, and there
was tansy growing at the root of each tree. 1
at once concluded there was something about
the tansy which was offensive 10 the fly which
lays the egg that produces the borer. re-
placed the dead trees with living ones from
the nursery, being careful to plant sprig of
tansy root at the trunk Of each tree. l have
not been troubled with the borer since, while
other trees in the neighborhood, not having
the tansy planted with them, are more or less
infested with the insect-COr. Farm and

How to Build . smoLehou.e.

A New York farmer sends the following to
the secretary of the Elmira Farmers "A
good smokehouse for the farmers purpose
can be built for $50, if the material used in
its construction is stone, of which most farm
ers have plenty and to spare and there will
be no fear of its burning up and spelling the
meat. A building ten by twelve feet would
be sufficient for a large farm, and if it is
thoroughly undetermined the ashes will not do
any harm. Not long since saw smoke
house, the floor of which was a single large
stone and there was but little moisture there
on. In this house the meat WAS hung around
the sides and the fire made in the middle
The great difficulty in smoking meat is to get
q sufficient amount of smoke without too
much heat. In many cases too much fuel is
used, making the quantity of smoke too great.
as well as producing too much heat for the
perfect curing of the meat No blaze should
ever be allowed, nor should the smoke be
kept up too long-an hour at time, twice a
day, is sufficient. The advantage Of this
plan will be fully realized when once tried. I
do not believe any better material can be used
for producing smoke than corn cobs, as they
impart good flavor TO the meat.
