Setting Milk for Cream.

The greatest mistakes in the dairy
are made in setting the milk for cream.
In the family dairy, where one COW sup
plies milk and butter, the arrangements
are usually better than in some farm
dairies. Here the arrangements are
often surprisingly bad. have seen the
milk of four cows set in a sleeping room
and under the bed. The young woman
who managed that dairy prided herself
on her good butter What she knew of
bad butter must have been fearful to
contemplate. In some farm-houses the
milk is set in the living-room, where the
cooking and eating are done and where,
in the evening, the farmer and the
friedman smoke their pipes and dry
their wet boots and socks under the
Love. No wonder some persons prefer
oleomargarine to butter made in that
fashion. If these lines come under the
notice of any one, man or woman, who
keeps milk under such circumstances
as these, or in any way approaching to
them, would say to him or her, that
good butter cannot be made in that way,
and the labor spent over it is only half
or quarter paid for.
The first necessity in setting the milk
is perfect purity of place and surround
ings. Then there should be the follow
ing adjuncts:
A moderate circulation of fresh and
moist air.
Shelves raised at least three feet from
the ground.
A temperature not over sixty degrees
in summer and not below forty-five in
winter.
Perfectly clean utensils and very little
light. Henry Ste,0art.

Mosouitoes in the Arctic Reeions.

A member of Lieutenant Schwatka's Q
exploring expedition says:
The temperature in Hudson's Strait
was much lower than in the bay, and
we felt the cold intensely. I began to
imagine that my acclimatization had not
been complete until I noticed that the
lnuits who came on board complained
of the cold as much as we did. Indeed,
believe that one feels the cold in an
Arctic summer much more disagreeably
than in the winter. The low tempera-
ture in the strait is in all probability
attributable to the ice that is constantly
there, either local ice or the pack
brought down from Fox Channel by the
wind and current. The great Grinnel
glacier, on Meta Incognita, which Cap
tain Hall estimated to be one hundred
miles in extent, must also have con-
siderable effect upon the climate. As
we passed down toward Resolution ISL
and we could see this great sea of ice
from the deck of the vessel in all its
grandeur, surrounded by lofty peaks clad
in their ever-enduring .mantels of snow.
did not go on shore while our vessel
lay at anchor in North Bay, for I had
no anxiety to encounter the mosquitoes
which abound there, though not to the
extent which makes life such a burden
as upon the eastern shores of Hudson's s
Bay. Captain Baker and went in one
of the ships boats to the mainland.
about fifteen miles to the southwest, to
secure lot of musk-ox skins and other
articles of trade at Kinnepatoo en-
campment there, and though we spent
but one night on shore never before
endured such torture from SO small a
cause Us the mosquitoes occasioned us.
The natives kept their tent filed with
smoke from a slow, smouldering fire in
the doorway, which is the only plan to
render them habitable at all, but the
remedy is only one degree better than
the disease, as Captain Baker remarked
to me, with his eyes filed with tears.
The only relief from these torments is q
strong breeze from the water, which
carries them away; but even then it is
not safe to seek shelter in the lee of q
tent, for there they swarm and are as
vigorous in their attacks as during a
calm. The men wear mosquito-net
hoods over their heads and shoulders
while in camp or hunting, and the women
and children live in the smoke of their
smouldering peat fires.
The shores of Hudson's Bay are low
and barren and abound in lakes of every
size and shape. They are too low to
produce glaciers, but are just right fol
the production of the finest crop o.
mosquitoes to be found in the world

Points OF q Good Cow.

Mr.. HENRY STEWART, in the Rurdl
Neto Yorker. gives the following as the
chief characteristics of a good cow-the
points beng SO well defined that any
one can make the selections. They are
also in accordance with the results of
experience:
1.-THE extremities should be delicate
ly formed; the tail long and this except
at its root, which should be large and
strong; the muzzle should be fine; the
head long, fiat and thin, but broad
across the eyes, to give room for large
brain, which is the foundation for a
highly developed and active nervous
system; the horns fine, thin and neatly
curved; the eyes bright and active,
agreeing with the active brain but
calm, quiet and mild in expression,
significant of quiet contented DISPOSE
ton and one not readily disturbed or
worried. As the secretions of the body
all come from the blood and as a rich.
yellow color is desired in the butter, so
the skin should be filled with a yellow
pigment, and the inside of the ears and
the thighs and the other places where
the hair is light and the skin plainly
visible, should be of rich orange color;
so the scales of earwax should be of the
same color. The hair should be fine,
smooth and silky, and in short the
whole appearance should be satisfying
to the eye and consistent one part with
another and well balanced"

ReligiOus.
I" SOME DAY.

Two years old, and bright and sunny,
Is my loving little girl,
With blue eyes Just like her fathers
F1axen hair that will not curl;
And the 3uaintest little sayings
Sometimes issue from her lips,
while we wonder In what fountain
VI philosophy she dips.
Often, when she asks for something
That cannot get for her,
'Some day me can have il, mamma"
Says my small philosopher;
Mods her head in sweet contentment,
Goes about her childish play,
Satisfied that what Is wisest
Will be done for her each day.
Often though I must refuse her
Something that she longs to claim,
Yet her sweetness never changes,
And her answer Is the same.
Dearly loved and most attractive,
As the longed-for thing may be,
Still she smiles, and some day, mamma"
Say the baby lips to me.
Oh the lesson that she teaches,
Well my older heart may hcedi
From the "mouth Of babes and sucklings"
Come the lessons for our need!
Often now when God refuses
What plead for earnestly,
Comes the thought that "some day." ma,
He viii think it good for mo.
When my life seems cramped and fettered
And my tastes ungratified,
When long for broader culture,
And am still unsatisfied.
Then within my heart I whisper
"Some day." when God wills IL so;
What In this life He withholdeth,
He may vet in Heaven bestow.
"Some day." when Gods plans are ripened
And His purposes fulfilled,
My desires shall find completion;
And my heart with joy be thrilled;
"Some day." shall be perfected,
All mistakes be rectihed,
All nv losses compensated,
And my soul be satisfied.

THE DAIRY.

The Waverly Republican says there
are many obstacles in the dairy busi-
ness. The care of cows is distasteful;
farmers dislike to milk; often hired
men will not milk; the wife has no time
and the daughter feels above it.
Mr.. SANBoRN, of New Hampshire,
thinks, after careful experiment that
currying cattle prevents them from fat
tening. If this is so with fat cattle what
must be the effect with cows in milk,
whose bones are so much nearer the
surface?
MORE oleomargarine is shipped to
Rotterdam than to any other European
port. Glasgow, Scotland, receives
about half as much. More than four
times as many cheese are shipped to
Liverpool than to any other European
port. Glasgow holds second rank.
THHRE has been such rapid increase,
says the Culticdtor, in the number of
creameries for the making of butter
around Philadelphia, that the milk sup
ply of the city is seriously threatened.
One of these creameries is erecting
large additional buildings for the pur-
poses of its business and powerful en-
gine to do the churning.

Gloves.

The use of gloves ascends to remote
antiquity, though only to one which
must have already attained a certain
measure of civilization. As the cover
ing of the head, whether hat, helmet or
crown, has derived Importance from its
association with the most distinctive
part of the human being, SO the glove
has borrowed luster not its own. The
hand, and especially the right hand,
had q larger significance for an age
which welded the sword than it has for
one which has replaced warlike weapons
by others. Manus was "power," and
the hand which tipped the scepter of
Dagobert was symbol of that philolog-
icaG fact. In the same spirit the ancient
Roman law held the property in an
object to have passed upon the literal
transfer of it, or part of it, into the
hand of the purchaser. 1t was an ad-
vance in conveyancing, or, more accu-
rately, a substitution of q contract for
an absolute conveyance, when this
transfer ceased to be literal and became
symbolical. This legal differentiation
shows itself in the infancy of all law.
and in the East the symbol of transfer
very commonly adopted was the glove.
Commentators have disputed as to the
passage in the Psalms Ok. 81: Over
Edom will 1 cast my shoe," as it ap-
pears in our version. some translating
not Z" shoe" but &" glove" in reference
to this custom. The controversy, at
any rate, cannot fail to remind US of the
German Handsch,h. In this way the
glove became among Oriental people
an ensign of dignlty-very much as the
"cap of honor" in Europe. 1t was also
luxury; but in neither character did
it commend itself to the Greeks and
Romans. Among the former it remained
a distinctive mark of barbarism; sculp-
lures discovered at Thebes represent
Asiatic ambassadors apparently offering
gloves, probably as signs of submission.
They were essentially Persici apparatus.
despised, just as umbrellas were when
first introduced into England as being
womanish. A passage in Xenophon in
which these two useful luxuries are
coupled as examples of effeminacy,
shows that he would have sympathlzed
with the robust conservatives of this
country.

Washing or Working Butter.

Some years ago il was thought that
great discovery had been made, to the
effect that washing the buttermilk out
was great injury to butter and so it was
determined that the only way to make
a first class article was to work the but
termilk out and wipe the butter off with
a damp sponge or linen cloth. Well
we remember how the butter expound-
ers rang the changes on this great dis
covery. Many were the theories ad-
vanced rs to how and why washing in
jured the butter. The saccharine prop
critics were soluble in water, was one.
The delicate navors were ephemeral
and liable to get washed away, was an
other; and so the sponge took posses
sion of the dairy-house, and such an
abomination as sponge is after it has
been used few weeks in summer! All
full of old butter that cannot be washed
out-a thing that should be toler-
ated in no well regulated dairy.
The cloth is decidedly better, but
in our opinion an entirely useless arti-
Gle. Clean fresh water can take its
place with far less trouble and no dan
ger. The sole purpose of either wash
ing or working butter is TO free it from
buttermilk before sailing, and either
process, if properly done, will accom-
plish the end in view. The great
trouble in working butter is that it re-
quires decided skill to. do it properly,
and while many dairymen understand
the operation, great many do not; and
rs it is very much harder to work than
to wash the buttermilk out, many fail
to entirely rid the butter of it, which
will soon cause the butter to become
vonniA and ho rsr,ar r,,nfhnd 10
haps condemned because it is not prop
erly done. AS Ezra Michener, a noted
Philadelphia butter maker, says: WASH
ing effectually removes the buttermilk,
and can be done in one-fourth the time
required to work it out, which is an
important item to any farmers wife
with her manifold duties. I can
now count a dozen who are wash
ing their butter to one who dio so
ten years ago, and we are not
to suppose they are doing an injury to
their product. While do not claim
any superiority for washed over worked
butter if properly worked), do claim
it is in no wise inferior, and that the
time saved is sufficient if the perform
ance is properly understood, to cause a
very general adoption of the method" p"
The action of water on unsalted but
ter is purely mechanical, carrying of
only the buttermilk, because it is solu-
BILE in water and really mingles with it.
As to the flavors and delicate aromas
being carried off by water, we cannot
believe it, as this is now almost the uni
versal practice in the largest and most
noted creameries in the country. Fresh
running water as near to siXty-five de-
grees is the best for this purpose. II
the water is allowed to be so warm as
to melt, or render the butter quite soft,
it will certainly do harm, but this should
of course be avoided if to accomplish II
ice should have to be used. If the water
is too cold it will stiffen the butter so
that all the buttermilk cannot be reached
and thus do injury. If properly used it
is perfectly innocent and most conven-
ient.-Amer'ican Ddiryn1an.

Church Hospitality.

The Churchman has some timely sug-
gestions upon the apparent want of
sympathy and welcome the poor, the
unfortunate and the wronged and those
in moderate circumstances find in the
church, and suggests that in every con-
gregation there ought to be, besides
the rector, some assistants, either
deaconesses, deacons, or laymen and
women appointed, whose business it
shall be to speak to such kindly and
respectfully, and to welcome them to
the worship of the church. Every
Evangelical church betrays its trust un-
less there is provision for this need.
Many go week after week and month
after month to church feeling that they
have no cordial greeting of fellowship.
The arrangements, conditions and
terms applied to the pews are practical
ly inhospitable. In various ways the
person of sm3ll means and ordinary
dress is made to feel that he or she is
not at home. There are many worthy
from the place of worship rather than
run the risk of being publicly snubbed.
Besides, the very questionable superb
ority in real culture. inteliigence, or
virtue, and the means by which the
wealth has been obtain which is mostly
the basis of the assumed superiority are
not very strong argument in favor of
the spiritual advantages of the church
over the rest, reading and reflection in
the endearments of their own loved
home circle. 1t is not false pride on
the part of those in less prosperous
circumstances that keeps them from
worship in the church. In the world
they expect and, with manly courage,
will in silence endure rebuff, but in the
house of God they feel they may justly
demand that treatment that avcords
with the Gospel.-Hartford Religious

Wise Sayings.

-Falsehood, like poison, will gener-
ally be rejected when administered
alone; but when blended with whole
some ingredients it may be swallowed
unperceived.
The happiness of your life depends
upon the quality of your thoughts;
therefore, guard accordingly, and take
care that you entertain no notions un-
suitable to virtue and unreasonable to
nature.-Mdrcus Antoni,,tIs.
In the love of Christ His followers
have ever found great Joy. 1t is their
light, the day star dawning in their
hearts, the renewing of their inward
man, their joy of faith, the believing
that makes them rejoice with Joy un-
speakable and full of glory. Bushnell.
Had my choice of all things that
might tend to my present felicity l
would pitch upon this: to have my heart
possessed with the greatest kindness
and affection toward all men in the
world. am sure this would make me
partake in all the happiness of others.
Certainly, next to the love and enjoy
ment of God, that ardent charity and
affection wherewith blessed souls do en-
brace one another is Justly to be reck-
oned as the greatest felicity of those
regions above; and, did it universally
prevail in the world, it would anticipate
that blessedness, and make us taste OF
the joys of Heaven upon earth.-Scou-
