Crows Pulling Corn.

There are farmers who do not hesitate
to shoot and poison crows that pull up
their corn in spring, although these
birds work all the remaining part of the
year in destroying noxious insects. If
the corn when planted is soaked in tar
water, the crows will seldom trouble it;
but if this is too much trouble or objec-
tionable, then the better way to save the
planted corn is to soak quantity in
water and scatter it about the field for
the crows-iu other words, feed these
birds and encourage their visits to your
fields, instead of driving them away.
We have practiced the feeding plan with
excellent success for many years, never
allowing a crow to be killed ON our place,
and we have been the gamer 10y this
humane treatment of the much abused
crow. A few quarts of corn cost little.
and the crows pay well for it by catching
grubs, beetles, and other noxious insects.

Medicines of the Ancients.

Some of the ancient cnirs were worse
than the affections which they were de-
signed to relieve, Fancy for instance
the following, recommended as well-test-
ed antidotes for poisons: The hoof of an
OK cut into parings and boiled with
bruised mustard-seed in white wine and
pure water. The blood of duck, drunk
fresh and warm, or else dried to powder,
and so drunk in II draught of white wine.
The blood of stag also. Ii the case
was a desperate one You We're to take n
sound horse, open his belly alive, take
out all his entrails quickly, and put the
poisoned person naked into it, all save
his head, while the body of the horse re-
tains its natural heat; and then let him
sweat well.

milk and butter, providing the COW does
not eat too largely of this tempting
heritage. So abundant is this aroma
from clover heads in full blossom that
the passers-by an the roadway can smell
1t when far away. The butter, however,
made at this time fails to have the
solidity of texture like that from grass in
May orJune. White clover heads, when
IN blossom, furnish pleasant aroma and
sweetness to butter, but it is lacking III
solidity, texture and color, and has an in
slpld, fiat, oily taste, which is very I'M
hike June-made butter Hungarian grass
and thickly- planted corn are Justly COM
ing into general use. This kind of feed
should be more generally cultivated. A
small patch of land will, if properly
titled, produce large yields And the
greener the fodder is dried the better.
1t should be cut when containing the
greatest amount of sap or life growth.
Then the aroma is retained. If intended
for dry COWS and other stock, the exact
time OF cutting is not of so much i'm
portance, as | am now only speaking i'll
reference to the mich COW.
Grain can be worked in with other COW
food when grass is gone. Wheat bran is
one OF the best, If not really the best food.
Corn meal and ground oats in snail
quantities are good These grains give
the aid to the COW which she needs to
keep up her strength. When these are
fed III quantities adapted to the time the
COW has given milk, a satisfactory return
will be obtained and the butter will have
a pleasant aroma, but still be far inferior
to that of June. The bran increases the
flow of milk; the meal aids the solidity
of the butter, and carrots and sugar beets
give sweetness to it, but add nothing to
the aroma or solidity. | am of the
oplGion, from my own experience, that
1t pays well to feed good COW at each
milking Il quantity of corn meal and
bran, even when she is on grass; not to
add to the quantity of the butter, but to
keep W the strength of the COW. She
will pay it back with interest.
Could the dairyman have wisdom
enough to retain in the food given to
COWS the volatile oils in them at certain
time of their growth, by care in harvest
ing, a reformation in the quality of but
ter could be secured. Nothing yet dis
covered can equal the richness and
peculiar goodness there is in the spring
grasses. If these volatile oils are once
lost they are gone forever No grinding,
cooking or steaming can replace them.
These oils also give to the butter the gilt
color so much admired This color is
attempted to be kept up when dry feed
is used by artificial coloring. Artificial
coloring is fraud The butter of a
good COW, fed on early cut hay, mlllet,
and bright corn stalks, all well cured
with suitable grain food, will be of fair
solidity and flavor.

Domestic Recipes.

To PRESERVE EGGS. To each patent
pailful of water add one pint of fresh
sacked lime and one pint of common
salt; mix well. Fill your barrel half full
with this tlnid, put your eggs down in it
any time after June, and they will keep
two years if desired.
ENGLISH FISH SAUCE.-One and half
ounces of Cayenne, two tablespoonful
walnut catsup, two tablespoonful soy, a
few shreads of garlic and challat one
quart of pure vinegar; put into a large
bottle, and shake well, for a fortnight;
put into small bottles, well corked, and
in few days it will be fit for use.
INDIAN MEAL PUDDING. One pint of
Indian meal cooked, one quart of milk,
half a cup of butter, one pint Of moas-
SEES, four eggs, with little cinnamon or
nutmeg; boil the milk, stir in gradually
the meal, mix all togeter, and let it stand
two hours, add the eggs when the pud-
ding is ready to put in the oven.
SAUCE FOR CAULTLowER, OR AspARA-
GUS, OR BOILED FISH. Boil one large
cupful OF milk, two tablespoonfuls of
butter, pepper and salt, and when it boils
add one teaspoonful of -four mixed in
very little cold water; boil five minutes
and pour on two beaten egg-yolks. For
fish, can add chopped parsley and little
mustard.
APPLE JELLY. Gore and cut out all
bad spots from the apples, then add a
very little water and stew IS for apple
sauce; when done put into bag and
hang up to drain; when cool enough
squeeze gently; be careful not to get the
pulp through. To pint of juice add a
pound of sugar; boil twenty minutes and
it is done.
CANNED BERRIES. If they require
washing, let it be done as expeditiously
as possible, and the water well drained
off; after which look them over carefully,
and place III the preserving kettle with
alternate layers of sugar in whatever
proportion has been decided on. Heat
slowly to boiling, then cook rapidly until
the fruit is well heated through, which
will be in from five to fifteen minutes ac-
cording to it's character; then can as be-
fore directed. If there is a surplus of
syrup it can be bottled separately and
used to make pudding sauces and fruit
blanc-mange.

BABY PRIZES, $500.

An eminent bankers wife, of --,
N. Y, has induced the proprietors of
that greet medicine, Hop Bitters, to offer
5000 in prizes to the youngest child that
says Hop Bittels plainly, in any language,
between May |, 1880, and July 4, 1881.
This is liberal and interesting offer,
and everybody and bis wife should send
two-cent stamp to the Hop Bitters Mfg.
Co., Rochester, n. T., U. S A., for cir
cular, giving full particulars, and begin
al once to teach the children to say HoI

Crops in Connection with Corn.

Western farmers are ayerse to planting
beans and pumpkins on the same land
with corn because they rely entirely on
horse implements to cultivate it. East
ern farmers, however, expect to realize
about half as much from the beans and
pumpkins raised among corn as from the
corn itself. When corn is planted in
hills four feet apart, it Is plain that
some other crop can be raised on the I'M
occupied land. If no crop can be pro-
duced with a view of harvesting it, one
can be raised that will be valuable for
feeding on the ground or blowing under
for fertilizer. A crop of fiat turnips
may generally be raised between the
rows of corn by simply scattering the
seed when the ground is worked the last
time. Sheep that have been educated
to it will eat them off on the spot where
they grow, or the roots may be pulled
out and fed to them III the pasture or
yard. For feeding to cattle after the
frost has killed the grass in the pasture,
fiat turnips are excellent. If turnips are
fed to mich COWS Immediately after milk
pg, their flavor and odor will not appear
in the milk drawn twelve hours after
ward. Cattle aud sheep that have a lib
eral supply of turnips late in the fall will
be likely to go into winter quarters in
good condition. If fall rye is sown
among corn when it is cultivated the last
time, it will generally obtain good
growth before the occurrence of frost.
If there is little snow it will make good
winter pasturage. The green rye will
afford a desirable change from dry corn
fodder when both are eaten by stock in
the same field. If the snow is deep dur
ing the winter the rye will be preserved
till spring, when it may be eaten off by
stock or plowed under for manure.
The growth of rye among com will serve
to keep the land free from weeds which
often cover the ground after cultivation
stops.

Making Highly ElavcTsJ Butter.

This is much done of late years in de-
vislng and perfecting implements for
raising cream, churning and working the
butter, but there is one point where art
and science have failed, and will fail, and
that is, to find a substitute for the fine
aroma peculiar to butter made from
grasses during the spring growth and up
to the time of hot weather. During this
time the grasses are rapid in growth, and
possess that peculiar aroma necessary in
the mix 10 give the butter the pleasant
taste SO much desired. During this sea-
son the weeds and noxious plants that
are too often found in dairy pastures
have not become so fully matured as to
yield their injurious Influences to the
milk. During May and June the dews
are usually so heavy that the grasses are
greatly nourished and increased in
strength and flavor. The same pleasant.
flavor is also impaired to the beef. In
July and August the pastures are apt to
he short. More or less Of the grass be-
comes ripe and dry; weeds ripen, and hot
weather and flies cause discomfort to the
cow. In the fall the pastures are slower
in growth, and decayed weeds and grasses
are liable to be mixed with the grasses
which the COW eats. The dews also do
not furnish that sweet aroma to the but
ter as In May and June.
When the grasses are dried great
part of their aroma has passed away.
This element cannot be replaced. Grain
and roots may be substituted IN part.
The nearest way we can get to it in pre-
pairing our winter feed is to cut the
meadows as soon as the first blossoms
nave appeared. When cut at this time
great share of the aroma is absorbed IN
tle leaves and straw, and retained to
give the right flavor to the milk and out
yer, and also to give the butter the de-
sired color, as well as flavor. 4 very
in and abundant aroma is found In

Rome Gable to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The question still agitates the laity and
the clergy here EegarIing the,fair dnchess of
Hamilton seeking Papal divorce from her
husband, the Prince de Monaco. It is q big
and broad question, brought to the very
threshold of the church in its capital city. IT
what was refused the real Tudors in Henry
VIII. can be granted to the questionable line
of the Stuarts in the duchess OF Hamilton,
then indeed will serious issue grow out of
the hitherto hard and fast virtue In vincu-
lum matrimonii, and the door of divorce
may readily be opened BY any besieger. v /
It is alleged that the duchess is influenced
toward this appeal for divorce ON the
grounds that shewas unduiy influenced In
the matrimonial tie by her mothhr, sthe
dowager duchess, and by the said dowageras
particular friend, the. late Emperor Napoleon,
