BUTTER MAKING.-lf we have made
a discovery. or if somebody knew il be-
fore us, we will tell it all the same. As
soon as the cream shows signs of ''com-
ing" pour into the caurn two or three
quarts of water-as near ice cold as it
is possible-and the butter will gather a
great deal quicker and come ird and
firm. We tried the cold water on the
start and found it made the cream too
cold and kept the butter from coming,
but put in at the last end it is a capital
idea, and will save hours of churning
in the course of the season. Butter will
come in fifteen or twenty minutes, as
rule, if the cream is in the right condi-
ton and temperature.

How TO CAN FRUT.-Glass and stone
lars are the only kind to use-for the
acids of fruit will not be healthful If
preserved in tin-and they can be pur-
chased very cheaply. Nearly all the
fruits retain their flavor better if they
are steamed instead of stewed, rs they
are not so much broken up. To four
pounds of the fruit take one pound OF
lump sugar, as it is less subject to adul-
teratiOn. Fill the jars within TWO inches
of the top with the fruit; melt the sugar
in very little water and turn 1t bolllng
hot upon the fruit; place the jars In a
pan of boiling water. and let them
steam about ten minutes, or until the
fruit, by expulsion of the cold air, has
been forced TO the top Of the jar; put
the cover on at once, with ciCth, SO
as not to burn your hands, and screw
it down tightly while in boiling water ;
set the jars on the table to cool, and II
any bubbles appear in them take on
the covers and boil again until the
fruit is again forced upwards Fruit
canned in this manner will keep It's
flavor perfectly. Tomatoes can be pre-
served in stone jars with great success.
Stew them for two hours in the jars, IN
the oven or i'm pans of boiling water,
filling them up as the juice evaporates
then cover with a cotton cloth, and put
i'm the large corks that came with them,
so as to prevent the hot air escaping.
Make sealing-wax of one pound OF
rosin, two ounces of beeswax and two
ounces of mutton tallOw, all melted
together. Put it on while hot. with a
brush, covering the cork and sides OF
the jar completely. Keep in dry, cool
cellar

BARNYARD AND PAsTURE.-The saw
ing OF trouble is not the only nor the
principal reason why it is better to have
the BARNARD and pasture connected.
If the yard opens directly in the pas
ture, or into the lane leading thereto, so
that the cows can go and come at will.
they will make their way leisurely to
and from the barn. This is a matter
concerning not only their comfort, but
also their health. In very hot weather.
such as we have sometimes in summer,
cows are often injured by being driven
TOO fast on their way to the pasture, or
from the pasture to the barn. The
boys who do the driving on many farms
are in haste to get through with their
work at night, and are very likely to
hurry the cows too much.

On DRIVING OUT MOSQUITOES. -
Mosquitoes can be driven away from
room by the smoke of incense powder,
burned on a hot shovel. When it is
not easy to get fire, put bit of gum
camphor ina shovel, light it, and the
gum will catch as quickly as alcohol.
then sprinkle tablespoonful of insect
powder (pyrethrum) on the flame, let
it take fire, and blow out the blaze,
close the windows and let the smoke
rise for five minutes. 1t will not injure
walls or furniture. and does not harm
human beings. though obnoxious to In
sects. Hanging cloth on which a
teaspoonful of carbolic acid is poured,
at the head of the bed, will keep mos
quitoes away, and the writer has re-
peatedly gained good nights sleep by
this means when others failed. Take
care to place the cloth or sponge SO that
there is no danger of touching it with
the hands in the night, as the acid
burns like caustic. Ii is not generally
known, as it ought to be, that the rem
edy for burns by carbolic acid is
Canada fir balsam, sIread on the part
attacked.

HoT SHoEING.-In the opinion OF DIR.
Eleming. the evils supposed TO result
from fitting the shoes hot to the hoofs
of the horse are purely chimerlcal.
Cold shoeing has had its advocates, but
the process, in addition to being difficult
and expensive, is held TO be injurious
from the fact that the rasp and knife
have to be used so freely in order TO OBJ
tain fit. The hot shoe burns away the
INEQUALITIES OF surface, and readily
adapts itself to the foot. Fusing the
ends of the fibres of the foot destroys
the spongy, absorbent properties OF the
horn and prepares it for the resistance
of moisture. Horn" writes DR.. Flem-
ing, lis a very slow conductor OF heat,
and il requires very prolonged appl-
cation of the hot shoe 10 affect the hoof
10 any considerable depth. Three min
utes burning of the lower face OF the
sole has been found necessary TO pro-
duce any indication of increase OF tenn
perature by the Thermometer on its up
per surface. 1t is never required that
the shoe should be applied longer than
a Few seconds" DR.. Flemming furth-
er explains that the action of caloric
softens the surface of the horn, allow
ing the nails to enter more readily, and
giving the farrier better opportunity
TO imbed the clips and other inequali-
ties. The shoe should always be ap-
piled at red heat, and never at black
heat.

FEEDING LARGEAND SMALL ANIMALS.
experience, says an eX-
change, if such proof were necessary,
shows that there Is more profit in feed
ing the larger breeds than there is with
the smaller breed of animals, whether
for milk or meat. OF course there are
exceptions to this, as in all general rules,
the small Jersey COW tor example,
which is expected TO produce an excep-
tional product of high colored and fine
lv favored butter; but tins does not ef-
feet the rule above stated. 1t is only
necessary to consider that, when We
feed two animals of 200 pounds each,
we have to supply the demands of two
sets of breath, circulating and muscular
apparatus. which are considerably
more extensive and expensive than
those of one animal of 400 pounds.

ACID DEINKs.-During warm wea-
ther, people tIoubled with biliousness
crave acid drinks. This want may be
met by the use of unfermented juices of
fruit, mixed with water. a little tar
taric acid added TO water, just enough
TO make it pleasantly sour, is of service,
of course emitting sugar if one would
secure the best cooling effects, since all
sweets counteract the intended good
results of the acids. One should not
drink for the mere pleasure of drink
ing.

4 captain had returned TO the camp for
getting to post letter which the Cen

commander said was: Il can imagine
no excuse for such carelessness, Cap
tain" Not long after, the General
himself discovered in a Winter coat,
which had been packed away, letter,
which long time before he had re-
ceiyed from the surgeon with the re-
quest that he post it. He had taken ii
to the station, forgotten to post it, and
il had remained in the pocket for six
months. The conscientious General
first apolOgized to the surgeon. and
then sent for the captain and said /:
