Beautify Your Farm.

Every man owes it 70 the COM
munity in which he is living to
contribute to the general reputation
and public enjoyment by making
his surroundings as attractive as
possible. A measure of time and
expense should be devoted by every
one to the making of his farm and
home more beautiful year by year
Many farms everywhere should be
improved in appearance by a few
days extra work each year Our
country towns are improving rapid
ly, and while the Improvement fever
is on, it should extend into the ru-
raj districts. 1t speaks loud for a
people where there are respectable
looking farm buildings dotting the
valleys, with everything about them
neat and modiously arranged.
Look around and see If there isn't
you can 10 that will help
the looks OF Jour property.

Eome-Mada Feather rustar

A feather duster is an article the
convenience of which every house
wife appreciates, but it is often too
expensive for many farmars to buy.
For all such. some hints as to how
a duster of equal utility and dura-
bIlity TO store one may DE made
at home from the feathers that
would otherwise go to waste, may
be useful. If beauty IS not sought,
any round stuck of the proper size,
such as the end of broom handle,
will serve for the handle of the
brush; if one happens to have an
old custer handle, that can. be used
once more. With a saw make a Sc
ries Of grooves or deep uOtehes in
the lower end of the handle. By
the aid of hammer the lower por
ton of each quill should be so fat
tened as to pass into the grooves.
As fast as the feathers are put In
they should be tied with strong
Irvine; and as the work proceeds
glue should be added, that the
feathers nay be the more firmly
fastened. In this way new rows of
feathers, followed by the irvine and
glue, may be added until the end is
completely covered and the buster
Of sufficient size, after which the
finishing row of large feathers, Sc
lected for the purpose, is placed
around the whole and tightly
bound with Irvine. Outside of the
base of this last row of feathers a
neat strip of leather may be glued,
to both improve the appearance and
render the feathers more secure.
A brush thus made will serve all
he purposes of a purchased one,
and if the work is carefully and
thoroughly done it may present as
heat an appearance.

The Future Lady Of the White
House.
New York Graphic.

View LUX IfapillC-
Mrs. Hancock, the wife of the
General, is a few years his junior in
age and, as a woman, IS as impos-
ing in appearance as he is as a man.
Tall and well proportioned, with a
most winsome smile, a manner that
puts you at your ease at once, and
a pair of eyes that animate every
line of a handsome face, she is still
a beauty, although her hair is be
coming streaked with grIy. She
was married when the General was
hut young Lieutenant, doing duty
IN the far West. It was entirely a
love match, and neither of them has
since regretted it. In fact, their
home is one OF the happiest imagi-
nable. Mrs. Hancock has always
been opposed to her husbands be
coming a candidate for the Presi-

A society belle, even after her mar
riage, she has all the seIf-cofidence

Milking and Mi1kinr Tine

Aay one who has had to do with
dairy farming knows that there are
great many poor mixers, against
few who understand and prac
tice the proper method of removing
the milk from a COW. II is a well
known fact that some persons can
obtain more milk from a COW with
greater ease and IN quicker time
than others. In the first place,
there must be an air and spirit of
gentleness about the nilh.er, which
the COW is quick TO comprehend
and appreciate. It Is not to be ex-
pected that COW, and especially a
nervous one, viii have that easy,
quiet condition SO necessary to in
sure an unrestrained fow Of milk.
when she Is approached in a rough
way, and has 4 person at her teats
that she justly dIslikes. There
must be a kindness OF treatment
which begets a confidence before
the COW will do her best at the pail.
She should know that the mixer
comes not as 4 thief to rob her, but
simply to relieve her CT her burden,
and to do it in the quickest quiet
est and kindest way possible. The
next point in proper milking is
cleanliness; and it is of the greatest
est Importance if irst-class milk
and butter are the ends to be gain
ed in keeping cows. No substance
Is Sc easily tainted and spoiled as
milk; 1t is particularly sensitive to
bad odors or dirt of any kind, and
unless the proper neatness is OBJ
served In the milking, the prod ucts
of the dairy will be faulty and sec
Ond-class. Those persons who can
and will practice cleanliness while |
at the COW are the only ones who /
should do the milking. 1t matters
not how much care to be neat in all |
the operations of the dairy If the /
milk Is made filthy at the start; no

The Farmers Pest.

A correspondent writes; II find
draining pays on my land, and
when | manure whore my land Is
drained the results are astonishing.
And I find it will not pay me to let
weeds grow. Better far to cultivate
less land and keep it free from
weeds than TO have Il great quantity
Of land smothered with these pests.
Better for me If I can keep a crop
free from weeds to let the present
crop go and exterminate the weeds.
Farmers do not know how much

Preserving Eurtar.

First, the butter must be good
when made, all the buttermilk must
be worked out, and in doing this
keep it out of water. don't have
any water come in contact with it,
for it spOils it. Butter that is
washed IN working, as it is termed,
if good, would be much better if it
had not been washed. Salt to suit
the taste of those who are to eat it.
Half an ounce of salt to a pound of
butter is about right. Keep out all
your saltpetre, sugar or other cGra-
tive ingredients; 1t viii keep better
without them and perhaps, too,
without salt, butsthen it would not
be SO palatable. Do up the butter
each week, churning in one or more
neat, round rolls of two or three
pounds each, just whas you have to
put down; cover each roll with
clean muslin cloth large enough to
go round it twice or more, so that
it will be completely enveloped, and
sink it in a strong brine, as strong
as the best salt will make it. Stone
vessels are the best, and each roll
as it is put in may be sunk by pIac-
ing a clean stone on it. Continue
to add more rolls until the vessel
is full, always keeping the whole
com pIetely covered with brine; and
to insure strength add more salt
when full Keep it in your cellar
or in your spring-house, and see if
it is not worth in winter and spring /
100 per cent. more than any winter

upon him. To shave him carefully
takes too much time and costs the edge
Of the razor. To skim over his face,
cutting of sections Of beard here and
there, and leaving bad cases Of hair
along the deserts Of the cheek, saves the
razor and spoils the person who pays
for the operation, and who should not
be entirely forgotten. The scale OF
prices ought to be regulated by what
one gets, and BARRIERS ought 70 have the
courage to charge for what they do.
This done, q revolution in the art
would follow. Speed would not be the
great aim. Attention could be given to
the removal Of the beard, which, in old
times, it wa as important to remove as
| the lather, and the man who went out
Of the BARRIERS shop would leave salts
fed, instead Of hoping that the next
time it would be better. We recon-
mend these considerations to the trade
without charge for advice. Shaving is
q custom Of civilization; playing with
soap-bubbles is a game Of childhood. 1t
is now q matter Of luck which IT these
operations falls to the barber's patron

HERR KRUPP's steel and iron works
at Essen, in Germany, manufacturing
steel cannon and other fine pieces OF
machinery, may be supposed to employ
the highest classes of labor working in
masses and In connection with machinery
that are to be found in that country.
Skilled labor, working singly or in small
shops, at the finer trades, may get higher
wages, but these are exceptions and af-
ford no standard. For what is called
factory or foundry work, work Of large
bodies of men in groups, the Essen shops
and mills probably give the maximum.
These works employ 1900 men, Of
whom 5000 are coal miners. They pro-
duce SOC, 600 tons of coal and $4,000
tons of cast and wrought steel per an
num-, these figures being for 1871, when
the maximum of demand for products
and Of wages paid were both reached.
The total wages paid were %, &c., 900
per annum, being an average of $2l1.8O
per annum per hand, or, on . basis Of
800 working days in the year, 10 3-5
cents per diem around for the whole
force. The average wages earned were
about 96 cents per diem per capita, the
most skillful fOrgers and puddlers re-
ceiving about double Of this average,
while unskilled laborers receiye only
2.88 q week. But these naked figures,
II left to stand in this shape, would do
injustice to the proprietors of Essen. II
wages are very, very low by the Aneri-
car standard, the workmen at Essen
