WASHINGTON, Nov. N.-As one means ot
relieving the Supreme Court OF the pressure
OF bust ness 1t II suggested that bill will be
introduced authorizing the appointment 01
two additional Justices, whose places In turn
are not to be filled until the number Of jus

give the Court full complement of active
Justices (the present number nine), and
would put two efficient Justices In the place
of 3fessrs. Hunt aud Clifford, who. are never
again expected to be able to sit upon thu
Bench, but who decline to retire.

at the White House TO be untrue. It is the In

now being made in@ his residence to make it
more comfortable. The original features Of
the old house are to be preserved, but many
modern improvements are to be added.

Setting Milk for Butter.

DO NOT in butter making set your
milk in an atmosphere of too high or
too low temperature. If too high, it
will sour too quick and before all the
cream is risen. If too low, you will
injure the quality of the cream and its
product. You all know, at least all
housekeepers know, that if meat is put
on ice or in a refrigerator and reduced
to low temperature, it will soon faint
when exposed to the atmosphere of
higher temperature. 1t is so with all
animal products, and with butter and
cheese, which are animal products. Let
everything be done as nearly as posi-
BILE at temperature ranging between
tifty-fve and sixty-three degrees Fab
renheit.
There is no better temperature than
sixty degrees for setting milk. Prof.
Kedzie, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, has demonstrated by repeated
experiments that more cream can be
got from the milk at temperature
ranging from fifty to sixty degrees than
any other. If it goes below fifty de-
grees the yield diminishes until thirty
two degrees, or freezing point is
reached, at which point the least
cream is obtained. SO if it goes above
sixty degrees there is a loss of cream.
say this, notwithstanding all the fine
spun theories and numerous inventions
for raising cream rapidly by chilling
the milk. There is a difference between
cream raised in an honest way and the
froth raised under forced and unnatural
circumstances.
Half the butter in the country and l
do not know but larger proportion-is
spoiled by letting the milk stand too
long before skimming, and the product
is still further injured by letting the
cream stand still longer before churn-
ing. Milk should be skinned, when
set in room kept at temperature of
sixty degrees, as it begins to get fairly
sour, or just as it begins to thicken on
the bottom of the pan. If it stands
longer there is loss of quality without
any compromising gain in quantity
The cream should be churned at once.
The longer it stands the greater will be
the loss of aroma from decomposition
and evaporation of the volatile tiavorine
oils. Only the slightest aciditv, if any,
should be permitted in the cream be-
fore it is churned. Yet it is a common
thing for people to let the milk Topper
before it is SKINNED, and to allow the
cream to stand until quite sour before
churning. Nothing but bad-havored
and rapidly-decaying butter can be
made of such cream. Yet, have seen
cream standing with mold on it and
serum filling the cracks of the creamery.
Is it any wonder that there is so much
poor butter in the market?
The milk must be set in clean at
mosphere for butter, or worked in a
clean atmosphere if for cheese. There
must be no exposure of milk, butter or
curd to foul atmospheric. D. Cur

Repelling BOrers.

NOTICING an inquiry concerning the
efficacy of wash recommended for
borers in apple trees, l will relate my
experience: In the spring of 1868 we
set out an orchard of 400 trees, which
did well, growing almost too fast.
Everything was right except the pres
ence of borers. 1t seemed as though
they would ruin that orchard. Some
springs it would take the best part of
two weeks to get them out of the trees.
A number of trees were so eaten that
the wind blew them over. Finally en-
treated that the trees might be washed
MY husband said they might be washed
II would only attend to the matter my
self; there was too much to do, and the
men could not be hindered. Since the
matter has fallen into my hands, | en-
ploy woman to go over them faithfully
twice per year-early in June and early
in November-and l am happy to say
that borers are scarce in our orchard,
and have been so for the past three
years.
The trees are first washed with lime
and ashes, mixed with water to the con-
sistency of common whitewash-us
the strongest wood ashes have, which
come from an open fireplace. lam very
particular to wash the whole length of
the trunk, well up into the limbs, as the
borer we have here Injuries the bark on
the trunk of the tree, killing great
patches of it. After the trees are treated
in this manner, mix another wash for
the base of the trees, made somewhat as
fnl1nuuG. Ialf huolyoff,,l <NT
manure, one cupful of turpentine, two
or three quarts of soft soap, and water
enough to make it of the right consist
ency, are mixed together. This makes
one bucketful when ready to carry to
the orchard. This mixture have put
faithfully round the base of the tree,
about six inches wide, having the earth
removed for that purpose.
This year, having read about carbolic
acid, added a little of that, as am al
ways delighted to hear of any thing to
add to the wash which is likely to be
disagreeable to insects. Nothing short
of washing twice year will do any
good in this section. Let any one eX-
anime their trees in the fall, and they
will find the little borers Matching and
ready to commence eating into the trees.
At least that is my experience, or rather
it used to be. A bunch of turkey feath-
ers is a convenient brush for the foot of
the tree.
Since we have had the trees washed
in this way, the rabbits have not trou-
bled them, although l am not quite sure
but that couple of hounds which we
purchased about that time had some
part in the credit of keeping the rabbits
away. One spring we had fifty of these
trees badly girdled by rabbits. A plaster
made of fresh COW manure and clay,
mixed together with hoe, applied to
the trees, and tied on with Strips of
cloth, saved all but two of them.-Cor.

A Pennsylvania WOman's Success in
Raising Silk-WOrms.

ABOUT 10000 silk-worms are at work
on the farm of Frank Graft, in Birming-
ham, Delaware County, Penn, and
right lively, too, some of them being
almost done, and straw-colored cocoons
are piling up thick and fast. The worms
are being supervised by Miss Martha
Hamilton, living at Mr.. CRAFTS, and she
tlatters herself that for her first attempt
she is doing remarkably well. She
bought the eggs, and after they had
Matched, at which time they are as fine
as a hair and have to be lifted about
with camel's-hair brush, immediately
proceeded to feed them mulberry leaves.
Their growth is very rapid, and in six
weeks time they are of full size, being
nearly three inches long. They are
perfectly ravenous in their appetite, and
it is no small job to find food enough
for them, and the country for miles
around was secured in search of null
berry trees, which, as is we'll known,
are not numerous in that vicinity.
When the whole mass would begin their
feast on the leaves the noise made by
them sounded like rain falling on the
roof.
While feeding, the worm is of light
green color and is soft as velvet to the
touch. Along the body are nine small
breathing holes. The insects, as might
be imagined from their eating powers,
have strong serrated jaws, which soon
eat through a leaf. Some of the worms
have escaped from their mistress and
gotten upon the roof of the barn and
are there spinning away at their cocoons.
The silk while in the worm is a gum ex-
uded in two strands. These unite and
form one thread of silk. The worm in
starting its cocoon first makes an outer
covering of floss silk, within which they
spin the silk, bending the head and
body up and down the crossing to every
side, entirely surrounding the body, as
a protection against the wind and cold.
Thus in making covering for itself this
insect makes the covering for thousands
of gayly-attired women of all ages and
in every cline. The cocoon made, the
worm passes into chrysalis state and
comes forth moth-fy to lay eggs and
then die. Thus does the race continue.
The silk-grower, however, if he wants
the eggs, allows the worm to go through
all these stages; but if he wants the silk
he -" chokes " the worm while in the
chrysalis state, for if it is allowed to eat
its way out the thread of the silk is
broken and valueless. The chrysalis is
" choked," or in other words killed, by
heating it over fire or throwing it into
boiling water. The labor attending
this silk industry is not light one, and
whether there Is any money in it re-
mains to be seen. Mrs. Fogg, at Ken.
nett Square, Chester County, is also
raising silk-worms, but only has about
5000 of them. = PhiIGdelphia Press.

Mixed Milk.

The following from the CultiUdtor
seems to show that the milk of different
breeds of cows cannot be profitably
mixed:
ga Whately dairyman, owning twelve
cows, mostly Jerseys, remarked, upon
putting his cream into tse large churn,
that there was cream sufficient in guam
tity to produce sixty or seventy-five
pounds of butter Yet, upon churning
and weighing the product there were
found to be but thirty-eight pounds.
The next week he kept the milk and
cream of his grade Jerseys and Short
horns separate, churning eight days
cream instead of seven, as in the first
experiment. However, he was graf
flied at securing eighty-two and half
pounds of butter. A friend and towns
man, who, last winter, kept nineteen
COWS grade Jerseys and Shorthorns
found that his animals were not making
the usual returns in butter, the yield in
butter being about five pounds per COW
weekly. Finally, he set the milk of
each COW separately, with the result
that he hadn't COW that yielded less
than six pounds. If these facts
really prove what they seem to, good
many farmers are losing large amount
of butter every week by churning the
cream of a number of different breeds to-
gether. The results of other expert
ments NAV not be so decided. Some
other reason may explain the different
results.n
