HeaIthfulneSS Of Milk

If any one wishes to grow fleshy. a
pint of milk taken before retiring at
night will soon cover the scrawniest
bones. Although nowadays we see a
good many heshy persons, there are
great many lean and lank ones, who
sigh for the fashionable measure of
plumpness, and who would be vastly
improved in health and appearance
could their figures be rounded with
good. solid flesh. Nothing is more
coveted by thin women than q full
figure, and nothing will so raise the ire
and provoke the scandal OF the "clip-
perbuilds as the consciousness of
plumpness in rival.
In cases of fever and summer com
plant milk is now given with excellent
results. The idea that milk is feverish
has exploded. and it is how the physi-
clans great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients, or those in too low
state to be nourished by solid food. 1t
is mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher.
Take more milk and buy less meat.
Look 10 your milkman: have large.
sized, welt filled milk pitchers on the
table each meal, and you will have
sound flesh and save doctors bills.

The DAIRY.

FIRST-CLASs BUTTER contains ten per
cent. of water and six per cent. Of salt.
and one-half of one per cent. OF cheesy
matter.
EVERY dairyman should raise at least
one-eighth of an acre of corn-fodder fol
each COW. to help the pasture through
the dry season.
WHEN Danish butter was first intro
duced into Great Britain it did not rank
as high in price as Cork butter, but now
brings five cents per pound more than
the latter article This is the result of
education. In 1864 the Government of
Denmark commenced special system
of education for the girls in dairying.
BE careful about letting your cattle
drink from bitches or from. pools IN
which they are accustomed to stand, or
in which their droppings are deposited.
1t is not only liable to injure the health
of the stock. but it is also a fruitful
cause of malarial and typhoid fevers
among those who use the milk from
cows thus watered. In the heated days
of summer, pure. living water is the
first necessity for stock. a,
AN .Englishman or Hollander might

by the wonderful record they would
make at the pail and the churn. We
have but very little doubt that man
could collect together herd of choice
milking cows, natives of this country, and
raise up dairy of mixers that woult
be equal to any of the imported breeds:
We know there are thousands of grand
milk and butter cows here in this coun-
try that are worth for all practical pur'
poses as much as the imported.

Deaths Among Rich and Poor.

The legitimate conclusions of adj
vanced sanitary science were forcibly
applied at the meeting of the National
Medical Association in this city in a
thoughtful paper by DIR. Drysdale, OF
England, who has made q careful study
of the death rate among the rich and
poor in different countries. Reducing
general results to critical analysis, DIR.
Drysdale finds that vast proportion OF
the sickness and death of The poorer
classes is due to the unfortunate posi-
ton in which many of them are placed
with respect to food, dwellings, cloth
ing, and other requisites of healthful eX-
istence. Poverty is naturally caused
by low wages, and in all old and civil
lied countries it is by far the most inn
portant cause of premature death, and
the main obstacle TO sanitary improve
ment. This is illustrated by statistics
which show that in Berlin, a city where
there is extreme poverty among the
working classes, the death ratio is oc-
casionally as high as so in 1000; that in
London the death-rate has increased to
% in l, 200; that in England and Wales
more than 200, 900 lives are annually
sacrificed for want of proper sanitary
conditions in the dwellings and working
places of the poor, and that in all the
oyercrowded cities of the world, infant
mortality is taking on larger and larger
proportions. The learned physician
who formulates these data does not stop
with the recitation of the facts. but
pushes on boldly to propose remedy
substantially the Malthusian doctrine
1.-The only certain way to lower the
death-rate, in Europe, atleast," he says
.sis to slacken the birth-rate. Thi!

whether the poor should marry before

A Noble Woman.

Up on the hills bordering Mark West
Creek a man and his wife live on a
sheep range. The husband is an in
valid and half blind. But, as if to COM
pensate for his infirmities, the wife, who
is ruddy-cheeked, bright-eyed woman
of forty years or so, goes forward with
the duties of her enforced position OF
manager, maid and man-of-all-work,
without thought of complaint. She
does not, as far as we know, think oi
appealing to anybody for help with the
ordinary duties of the farm. And she
reads to her husband to cheer him up,
and goes to mill, and to the city, and
transacts all the business as orderly as
the clearest-headed man going. And
there are people who say, "Bless the
dear soul; for as long as she lives hel
womanly faith and courage does US al
good. ."--San,a Resa (Cal.) RcP'fbhcdn

Storing Butter.

BUTTER is an exceedingly sensitive
product, and, when it is to be stored
for two to four months, great risk of
loss is taken. The best butter is liza
BILE to be spoiled in few days by ex-
posure to bad air, or, it may be said,
by exposure to any air of tempera-
ture above fifty-five degrees. The inn
portant thing to do is to exclude the
air. If we had a package that could
easily be sealed air-tight and then
placed in a storage-room not above
sixty degrees, the finest butter might
be kept indefinitely without injury. 1t
is now well established that the air is
filed with germs capable OF destruc-
tive development in any fit medium. If
butter were freed wholly from all case
me and albumen, destructive fermenta-
ton could not occur; but we have no
process of butter making by which the
| oil in milk can be separated in au alb
solutely pure state 1t is therefore
liable to rapid injury by contact with
| air. -as -
The Danes put up their butter which
is to be kept for an indefinite period in
air-tight tin packages of five to ten
pounds, and these again are packed in
wooden cases. But the objection to tin
is its liability to corrode; it would be
much more appropriate to put the but
ter into small, alright glass packages.
and pack these in safe wooden cases.
1t does seem as If this might be prac-
tically accomplished, and then no possi-
BILE harm could come from contact with
glass. The finest aroma and flavor OF
butter ought to be preserved, IN this
way, for years. ~.
But at present the most practical way
of excluding air from butter is to sus
pend the sacks of butter in brine. BY
surrounding the butter with strons
brine the air is quite effectually ex
cluded. This plan has been tried anC
found, practically, to work well.
One way is to stop churning the but
ter when it comes in small granules o.
. the size of wheat kernel to that OF I
/, pea, wash it, and then, without any
working, place it in large tubs or bar
rels, made so as to hold brine; fill loose
{ ly with granulated butter, then saturat'
the whole with strong brine, and hea'
up tight. This has been found month
q afterward to come out in the finest con
dition. Another way is to have straigh
t tubs. slightly faring at the top, and tn

The Farmers Candidate.

Political parties commonly neglect to
nominate or elect the best specimens
of agricultural talent to the more i'm
portant positions of Government. 1t is
not only charged, but they have tried
to confirm it by their practice, that
farmers are men incapable of discharg-
ing the duties of such positions. These
charges have been denied and proven
false by pointing to rare examples in
which distinguished farmers have been
elected to high trusts. And now we
have another opportunity OF again prov
ing that a farmer is equal to any
other calling or profession in honesty
and craftsmanship for tine highest posi-
ton to which he can be called. And
his past life of devotion to every in
terest of humanity is sufficient guar
antee that we can give him our entire
confidence, our hearty support, and our
| votes.
James A. Garfield is farmer, and
has passed through all its tolls and
hardships in his boyhood, has tri-
umphed by his energy and persever,,
ance over poverty and obscurity, and
gained a position where even his oppo-
8ents accord to him the most eminent
qualities of head and heart for any po-
sition in life. He is a farmer yet
living on and cultivating a farm, SO far
as he can, and yet discharge the duties
of the public positions to which he has
been called (not sought) by his coun-
trymen. He married farmer s
daughter, reared in the duties OF
the household and dairy, and yet
SO accomplished in the proprieties
and courtesies of life, and sc
well educated in the higher branches OF
literature, as to be able to associate, to
our and her credit, with the distinguish
ed of this and other lands. All things
couspire in him and his wife 10 present

chair and White House a man and wife o.

ROBERT BURNS.

I see amid the fields of Ayr
A plowman, who. in foul or fair,
Sings at his task,
So clear we know not IL II Is
The layerock's song we hear or his,
Nor care to ask.
For him the plowing of those fields
A more ethereal harvest yields
Than sheaves of grain:
Songs flush with purple boom the rye;
The ployer's call, the curiew's cry,
" Sing in his brain.
Touched by his hand, the way-side weed
Becomes n flower; the lowlicst reed
Beside the stream
And heather, where his footsteps pass,
The brighter seem.
He sings of love, whose flame illumes
The darkness of lone cottage rooms;
He feels the force,
The treacherous under-tow and stress,
OF wayward passions, and no less
The keen remorse.
At moments, wrestling with his fate,
His voice is harsh, but not with hate;
Tho brush-wood hung
Above the tavern door lets TALL
Its bitter leaf, its drop OF gall,
Upon his tongue
But still the burden of his song
Is love of right, disdain of wrong;
Its master-chords
Are Manhood, Freedom, Brotherhood;
Its discords but an interlude
Between the words
And then to die so young. and leave
Unfinished what he might achieved
Yet better sure
Is this than wandering up and down,
An old man, in a country town,
Infirm and poor.
For now he haunts his native land

Cream for a Pound Of Butter.

IwoULD inform Mr.. Bonner, who in
ouires about it, that l have, for some
time past, kept accurate account OF the
quantity of cream put into the churn
and the butter taken out, and L lind
that one quart of pure cream, weighing
precisely two pounds, will make one
bound of butter, as near as can be
figured. This is the thick cream, which
is taken in an adherent, leathery SKIN
from shallow pan in which the milk
is three inches deep, and has been kept
until it is sour, but not thick. From
cream taken from a pail eighteen inches
deep, and which stood four inches deep
on the milk, but which was semi-fuld,
three pounds of butter was given by
four quarts of the cream. This cream
was in good condition for churning.
and needed no water to dilute 1t. 1t
was distinctly sour, having been skim
med from milk set thirty-six hours, and
was kept fortv-eight hours before
churning. The churning was sixteen
| quarts, which yielded twelve and one
| half pounds; the temperature of the
cream was sixty-two degrees. and the
| time of churning was eleven minutes.
The COWS were Jersey and Ayrshire.
The more solid cream was all from Jer-
| sew milk, was in the same condition as
l
| The other as to sourness; twelve quarts
were put into the churn, and eleven
| pounds and fourteen ounces OF butter
came out; the cream was too thick to
churn without considerable water being
put in. The temperature of this churn-
ing was sixty-five degrees, and the time
eight minutes. There is no doubt that
| sour cream will make better favored
and more solid butter, and more OF 1t,
than sweet cream; the butter will also
keep longer in good condition. Sweet
cream butter is excellent. and may be
exquisite, if very well made, fol. imme-
date use, but it deteriorates very rap.
idly, while sour milk butter improves by
keeping for several weeks. if well made
and well kept. But neither the milk
nor the cream should be permitted To
turn to "clabber," as Mr.. Bonner
terms it.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

stuffing improves it. Boiled, mashed,
and seasoned Irish or sweet potatoes are
also used for turkey stuffing. When
stuffed, tie it in shape, lard the top or
lay slices of bacon over it, wet the skin
and sprinkle it well with. salt, pepper
and flour. Have the oven not very hot
till the turkey gets heated through, then
increase the heat. While the fowl is
cooking, boil the giblets, the neck, liver,
gizzard, sweet bread-chop them fine
and when the gravy is made add them
TO- 1T. To make the gravy, after the
turkey is removed from the baking pan
put the pan over the fire, dredge -four
into it, and when Drowned stir in boiling
water or stock; skim off every bit OF
fat, add the giblets, season with salt and
pepper. If chestnuts are used in the
stuffing, add them also to the gravy.
Oyster stuffing should be used Just be-
fore the turkey is baked; with other
staffing 1t is well to let it remain a num-
Der of hours before cooking that its
flavor may penetrate the bird. Turkey
is served with cranberry jelly or with
or plum Jelly.

Endurance Of the Horse.

In order to test the endurance of
horses in the cavalry service, a trial
match on horseback was recently I'M
dertaken by eight Italian officers Of the
Novara Cavalry Regiment The task
was to travel S12 miles from Milan,
through Verona, Modena and Piscenza,
back to Milan in five days, over roads
generally good, but in some few places
muddy, with deep ruts. The task was
accomplished with some hours to spare,
and without undue fatigue to the horses.
Thirteen pounds of corn, and from six
and half to eight and half pounds of
hay were found to be sufficient daily ra-
tons for each horse during the march,
and occasionally little water thickened
with little flour and salt. On arriving
at their. stables the horses were always
well ,wisped, and half an hour after
ward their girths loosened. The aver
age rate of marching during the Jour-
ney was between FIVE and five and half
miles an hour; this, of course, included
occasional trots.-ThJ, FseM and Farm
