The Sir knights.

For several days st. Bernard Com.
mandery of this city had been making
preparations for the first regular installa-
ton Of officers and parade and banquet.
Yesterday was the appointed day, and a
more propitious one could not have been
chosen, as it was cool and pleasant. At
II O'Clock the Commandery marched to
the depot and met the Owatonna Com
mandery and cornet band, and several
representatives of the Faribault Com.
mandery. A procession was formed as
follows:
City Police Force,
Austin Cornet Band,
St. Bernard Commandery,
OwatOnna Cornet Band,
Owatonna Commandery,
Carriages and Citizens.
The Knights and musicians we're in
uniform, and the police wore the regula-
ton star. With precise and measured
step the procession moved up Water
street. on Main to Bridge street, thence
to St. Paul street, along that to Mr.. Shaw's
residence, then back to Main street and
to the Asylum. The marching was fine
and vel! done. The march was enlivened
by good music from both bands.
The guests of our knights were enter
tanned at the Mansfield and Fleck Houses.
After we'll relishcd dinner the Knights
proceeded IN double file, headed by the
Owatonna band, to the Asylum, where
they-well, We'll not say what they did.
In the evening a sumptuous banquet was
enjoyed at the Mansfield House. The
ladies who accompanied the Owatonna
Knights, and the wives of our own gallant
Templars were needed to complete the
pleasure of the day, which they did with
their wit, flowers, and beauty.
The day was one of pride, not only to
our knights, but to us all. From the
business houses many Commandery ban
ners were streaming in the breeze, and
the flags were flying at their usual posi-
tons. Many watched the procession
with interest, and were glad to see Aus
tins noble band and their guests so
united and happy. May the day be re.
peated!

The COdling Moth.

1t appears from all the accounts
which we receive of the damage done
to the apples by the codling moth that
the evil is spreading rapidly. For some
years past many remedies have been ad-
vised as reliable, but still the evil
spreads so that last year some parties
declared that more than half of their ap-
piles were destroyed by that pest. the
codling moth. Wishing to make N.Y.
self more fully acquainted with the hab-
its of the codling moth, 1 collected and
opened several crabs which were in
jured by the pupse OF the moth. | took
twelve of those and placed them in two
crabs; then burnt some earth in the
stove till knew all insect life was de-
stroyed in it; then dampened it a little
and put about three inches of it into a
glass jar; on the top of the earth in the
jar placed the crabs in which l had
put the pup9. then covered the top
of the jar with piece of paper which l
pierced with Il pin. They soon left the
crabs and went into the earth and wer C
formed into chrysalis; in that state they
did not remain long, when they came
out the full grown moth. / then found
they were very partial to water sweet
ened with honey. In 1879 | placed a
gallon mustard jar in my orchard, in
which had some water sweetened with
honey, and in that | caught large num-
bers of them, and also of many bee
moths. found my apples and crabs
were not so much injured as they had
previously been. Last year l placed
jars so prepared again, and in two
nights caught about hundred moths,
so that very little of my fruit was in
jured, and all who saw my orchard were
quite surprised to see my fine fruit, and
so free from the ravages of the moth.
expect next year to completely exter.
inmate the moths in my orchard.
Any vessel in which the honey and
water are placed should be such as 6
gallon mustard jar, so that the moths
could have easy access to the sweeteneC
water, but could not easily get out
Then the moths should be removed
every two or three days, for if there art
too many left in the water others viii
light on them and be able to fly out. Tht
moths only fly at night.
| Those who have bees should be care
full and remove the jars in the day
otherwise many bees will be lost. l al
ways in two or three days remove tn,
moths with piece of wire cloth fast
ened to the end of stick, and kill thos
which are alive. Cor. Canada Farmer

Rennet in Cheese Making.

The procuring of the curd is one OF
the most important manipulations in
making cheese, as the quality of the
product and its ripening or curing de-
pend very much upon this part of the
process being carried out with great
carefulness and skill. The flavor OF the
cheese may be seriously affected by bad
and impure rennet, and if putrcfactive
germs are contained in it, the decom-
posing ferment will assuredly be com
municated to the cheese with disastrous
effect. Doubtless many of the inexpli-
cable troubles of the dairyman arise from
use OF ill conditioned rennet, and this
should be carefully guarded against. 1t
is always safe precaution, when doubt
exists as to the purity of the rennet, to
filter it through flannel or even through
cotton fiber, or blotting-paper. By vary
ing the character of the rennet the
character of the cheese may be changed
and where many varieties OF fancy
cheese are made the rennet used differs
very much. Some very celebrated
French cheeses are made of rennet pre-.
pared with water to which brandy is
added in the proportion of one-third,
and spices and aromatic herbs are
stepped with the stomachs in this mkt
ure. For other cheeses pigs bladder IL
stepped in white wine and vinegar, and
others again are made with diluted
aolds only.--H s., in Rural.

and then dotted all over with inhnitesi-
NAL gilt specks, said stovepipes minus u

it is only when this " shocking bad hat

persecution, their cross, put upon them
in derision, which they have carried
gladly and proudly, despising the shame

dignity of q crown, we bend before il
in respectful reverence. The Parsees
are immensely rich and powerful, no
matter whether that wealth was ac-
quired by inheritance, by frugality or
commerce. Splendid and luxurious
carriages drawn by two and not infre-
quently four full-blooded Arabian
horses, with syce or footman running

-Kedgeree. Boil two tablespoonfuls
of rice and drain it as dry as possible.
Have ready some previously cooked
fish, pulled with forks into nice small
pieces, and free from oil bones and
skin; add it to the rice and make it hot
over the fire. Just before serving beat
up two eggs and stir well into the rice
and fish. Add a little cayenne and salt
to TASTE
Pic Plant Pie.-Slice very thin into
an earthen dish. Allow a large coilee-
cupful of pie-plant to large teacup-
full OF white sugar and two teaspoon
fuls of flour. Stir together, let stand
while making the crust.
An inexpensive boiled fruit pud-
ding may be made by mixing one cup
full of sugar, otwo cupfuls of sweet milk,
one egg, q little salt, half nutmeg,
two cupfuls of dried currants, chopped
raisins or sliced sweet apples, enough
flour for q stiff batter and two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder. Pour the
batter into buttered mold, tin pail
or o Toured pudding-cloth and let it
boil for about three hours in plenty of
water.
AT q meeting of the Chemung
County IN. " Tobacco Club, one of
the members said: ~ am not in favor
of hill manuring with any crop.
Manure in q hill does not dissolve; the
next year it is still there. Manure ap-
piled broadcast becomes thoroughly
incorporated in the soil, and there is no
fear but that the roots will find it, If it

During the past season the Kansas
State Agricultural College has kept an
exact account of the cost of raising
corn, winter wheat, andoats. Corn
twenty-five and one-half acres, forty
seven bushels per acre, costing four
teen cents per bushel. Wheat,
seventeen acres, seventeen bushels per
acre, costing tifty-four cents per bushel.
Oats, sixteen acres, yielding twenty
bushels per acre, costing twenty
eight cents per bushel. The ac-
count includes the cost of seeds,
planting, cultivating, harvesting and
marketing. the item of labor being
charged at the average price. The
amount of wheat per acre was very
light
Some flower seeds cannot be placed
in the soil too early in spring, provided
they have good mellow bed of fine
earth. Others would rot and never
grow. The former are the hardy sorts;
the latter the tender ones. Without 60
ing into long list of either, they may
be known by observing which has been
most quickly, and which least affected
by annual frosts. Verbenas, for in
stance, are hardy, and cannot be sown
too early. The morning glory, cypress
vine, ETC., must be left till the soil and
weather becomes warm. The same rule
will apply to vegetables; peas ale to be
sown early. beans several weeks after
wards. The first endure moderate
frost, the latter are killed by it.

THE DAIRY.

All other conditions being the same
the quantity of milk secreted will vary
with the quantity of flesh forming food
digested.
The best COWS are those which give
the largest returns for the food con-
sumed, whatever the breed, size, color
or pedigree.
When cows are fresh in milk they
require and can with safety and profit
consume more rich TODD according to
their size, than dry stock, because they
can then convert more food into milk
than they possibly could into flesh.
After deducting from the rations of
a COW the food of support, which will
be the same whether she gives much
milk or little, the surplus will be con-
verted into milk and will determine the
measure of profit to her owner. 1t is
therefore desirable to make that sur
plus as large as possible. The last
pound of food she can utilize will pay
the best.
Milk is nursery and reservoir for
infection. 1t greedily absorbs every
odor, whether agreeable or disagrceable
and affords q most efficient indus for

variety of ferments which may chance
to fall into it from the air, or in any
way come in contact with it. 1t will
take in the taint of bad breath, the
fumes fromperspiration, or the eiliuvium
from Infectious diseases of every char
acter. The local authorities of Glas-
gov seem to have recognized these pc
culiarities and acted sensibly if not le-
gally when they lately ''issued an order
that no milk should be sold within their
district in any shop from which there
was communication with q room in
which any person slept"
Buyers of butter, even though they
be old experts, are often deceived by
the bogus goods that are now being
forced upon the market, and so perfect
are some limitations that in courts of
justice the question cannot always be
satisfactorily determined whether the
goods on trial are bogus or genuine.
Elaborate analyses alone can be de-
pended upon; but these are slow, often
requiring days and even weeks to de-
termine, and at the same time too eX-
pensive to be of much practical use.
Simple, convenient and inexpensive
tests are in demand. In this line the
ProuiSioner, London. comes to us with
a good trick for determining the pres
ence of oleo in butter. 1t is we'll worth
q trial. Take a clean piece of tallow
wick, rub the material to be tried well
into it, then set it on fire and if there is
any tallow or oleo in the compound the
smoke from the burning wick will smell
like an eXtinguished tallow dip-and
most of us are familiar with that un
pleasant odor.-American Dairyman.
