Butter and Cheese of the Ancients


From the fact that ancient writers of the
Hebrew and Greek schools do not mention
butter or GREEN, some have concluded that
neither was known or used up to nearly the
close OF the first century of the Christian
era; but this must be a mistake, for no
doubt one of the oils mentioned in the Old
Testament was of butyraceous description
The milk of herds and of goats is spoken OF,
consequently there must have been cream,
and butter also, produced by the conveyance
of milk in skins on camel back, as it is fire.
quently carried in what is called the Holy
Land today. The climate in patriarchal
times, as at present, would not allow butter
to remain long in a solid state; and hence
its mention as oil. This is, however, specu-
lative, though more than probable. Pliny
speaks of ''cow-cheese," which he calls but
yrum: and the nomad Arabs made what
they called ''Kymac,' which is a thickened
preparation of cream almost like butter. 1t
is made by shaking cream of goats milk in a
calabash The native East Indians made
butter from buffalos milk which they call
''ghee," which is simply butter of thick,
oily consistency. Homer and Virgil both
mention cheese, the former as an article that
could be cut by a knife-Hercamede being
described in the Iliad as having shred and
scraped goats cheese into a posset he pre-
pared for the wounded Machaon. Virgil
leaves cheese with no greater consistency
than curd, which the Scythians used to mix
with mares blood and feast upon. Long
before the Christian era the buttery extract
from milk was used by barbarous nations,
and by the Romans as an ointment with
which they anointed children when teeth
ing, and applied to their skins to defend
them from injury from the sun. This was
butyrum, ghee or melted butter; and, if it
looked then no more tempting than when
presented forty years ago, under an Arab
tent at the second cataract on the Nile, it
must have been then, as now, very repul-
sive appearing article of food, with most Of
fensive smell of MULTIPLICATION Guilt

Cutting Hav.

There was true economy in the advice of
the farmer who recommended that the low
er joint of grass be left in the field for the
old brindle COW rather than be cut and cured
for her. He was one of the numerous army
of mowers who has learned there is nothing
gained by cutting too close.
The testimony with respect to the height
from the ground at which it is best to cut
grass is conflicting and tends to confuse and
oftentimes mislead a novice in the bayfield,.
Cultivators vary In practice from one-half
inch, or as close as possible to four inches.
The general tendency is, however, to cut
close, and many fine meadows have been
seriously injured therefrom.
Close observation has taught that timothy
cannot be cut low, in dry weather especially,
without inflicting injury. All attempts at
close shaving the sward should be avoided.
Many of our most successful farmers cut
timothy near or quite four inches from the
ground. Others in gauging mowing-ma-
chimes for this grass take care to run them
so high that it will not be cut below the
second joint above the tuber.
Close moving of upland meadow ought
also to be avoided, as the action of the hot
sun and dry weather following the harvest
affects the roots of the grass unfavorably
when left without some protection. On the
other hand, low, wet moving grounds will
bear cutting close as possible; these are ben
Gifted by the influence which would dry and
burn up an upland meadow. Again, when
the practice is followed of top-dressing the
meadow Immediately after taking off the
grsss, the moving may be done low and a
smooth surface left to cut over the next
time.
Generally speaking, grass cut two inches
high will start much quicker and thrive bet
ter than when shaved close to the ground :;
the finer grasses, as rule. when the season
is not very dry one can be cut lower than
coarser ones.-N. Y. World

Fertilizers for Corn.

Many experiments to determine the best
fertilizers for corn have been tried the past
two or three years. The attempt has been
made by the use of fertilizers containing pot
ash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid singly
and combined in various preparations to de-
termine what the soil needed to produce a
good corn crop. Of large number of ex-
perlments tried by farmers in various parts
of the country, it was found according to
the American Agriculturist, that on the av-
erage the largest increased yield of corn,
4St bushels, was obtained from using the
complete chemical fertilizers containing nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash, applied
at the rate of $153S per acre Including So
per ton added for freight and handling the
fertilizer) The next best yield was with
farm manures, the increase being As bushels
per acre.
The most profitable yield, however, was
formed by using combination of fertilizers
containing potash and phosphoric acid with
out nitrogen. This combination consisted
of 300 pounds of superphosphate made from
burned bones, and 200 pounds of muriate of
potash per acre, costing $S75. The yield of
sheled corn was forty-three bushels per acre
costing trife over twenty cents per bushel.
In few cases one hundred and fifty pounds
OF muriate of potash produced quite as good
results, showing that upon such ground pot
ash was the needed element to secure good
crops. Corn and the slower contain a large
amount of nitrogen, but the small effect pro-
duced in these experiments by supplying nj
trogen indicates that corn is able to gather a
large amount of nitrogen somewhat as clover
does, and needs an artificial supply less than
it needs phosphoric acid and potash-Leec-

The Value of T'oads.

Many gardeners already appreciate the
valuable services of the common toad and
afford them protection for their insect de-
stroying propensitiese, while as many more
perhaps, are ignorant of their usefulness.
To the latter class it may be interesting to
know that toads live almost wholly upon
slugs, caterpillars, beetles and other insects,
making their rounds at night when the farm
er is asleep-and the birds too-and the in
sects are supposed to be having it all their
own way. English gardeners understand
these facts so well, that toads are purchased
at SO much and turned loose, and the best of
1T ia that the toads generally stay at home,
so that the gardner is not troubled with buy
ing his toads over again every few days.
The toad can be tanned and will even
learn to know its master, and come when
called; the writer has not only had such
pets himself, but could give other instances
OF toad tanning that have come under his OBJ
servation. Toads can be made very useful
about the house, and will do not little
good in destroying household pests. Thay
are sometimes known to eat worms, which
they grasp in the middle with their jaws,
examining in the writhing ends of the unfor-
tunate articulates by means of the rapidly
darling tongue, which always secures the
victim as it is about to fly or run away

Flowing by Electricity.

The London Times has an article on plow-
ing by electricity, from the pen of Mr.. J. S.
Cocksedge. One of Mr.. Towards double
furrow plows has been used at the Sermaize-
les-Bains, France, in experiments with cleo
tricity as a motive power, and these are said
to have resulted in complete success. "The
plow," says Mr.. Cocksedge, "worked steadi-
ly and completely to the satisfaction of all
present. A gentleman whom 1 have known
for many years, M. Gourguillon, of Virty-le-
Francois, who saw the experiment, speaks
OF it in the most assuring terms. The mo
ton is conveyed to a drum from the electric
machine, and thence by coil of wire to the
pillow. There was no stoppage of any kind
but the pillow did its work steadily about S
ill., deep. The inventor is M. Felix, owner
of large sugar manufactory at Sermaize-
les-Bains." The writer adds: cit may be
many years before this can be brought into
profitable practical use, but if it can, what a
evolution it will accomplish
