Among the many evidences of ex-
travagance in wasting our food re-
sources there are few, says the Provis-
Toner, more striking than the waste of
milk. Any one who has lived in Lam
cashire or travelled in Ireland or in
Scotland, and has noted the life and
characteristic food of the farmers, of
the peasantry, and of the working
classes, will know how pleasant and ac-
ceptable drink is buttermilk. On the
the first day, thin and semi-acidulous
beverage, clean to the palate, refresh
ing and full of nourishment; on the sec
ond day, thicker and richer, and more
nearly resembling the familiar curds
and whey which are among the luxu-
ries of cockneys, but with the curd
broken into fine particles, and there
fore less cloying and more digestible.
The waste of buttermilk in this country
is humliating and painful to think of.
1t needs no scientific authority to say
how nourishing it is, how full of digest
ible albumen and animalized salt. Half
II pint of buttermilk contains as much
nutriment, and is as sustaining q bev-
erage, as many gallons of beer. No
doubt the taste for it is one that de-
pends upon habit. To Mecklenburg
palate, for example, the preference for
fresh milk over buttermilk would often
be surprising; and it is quite certain
that u taste for buttermilk would be
much more easily acquired, and is mucn
more natural, than the taste for claret
or bitter ale. IL is a mere matter of
habit and of prejudice; and chat being
so, it is not little surprising to reflect
that hundreds of thousands of gallons
of buttermilk are thrown to the pigs,
from the sheer prejudice that it is not
fit for human food, and from the indo-
lence of those who will not take the
trouble to acquire the taste for it.. A
few days since one gentleman offered to
supply thousand gallons of buttermilk
n day for use in London, fresh daily, at
rate which would allow of its being
sold Mt halfpenny the large tumbler,
and yield profit of one hundred per
cent to the retailer. 1t might be well
worth the trouble of some one who deals
with large numbers of men to endeavor
to cultivate the taste for buttermilk
among them, and to save these gallons
OF excellent food from being thrown to
the pigs. If any demand could be cul-
tivated for it, no doubt the managers
of coffee taverns and coffee palaces
would be glad TO undertake the sale of
it, 1t would yield them large profit,
and might with some trouble be revived
as the National drink. Buttermilk need
not by any means be considered as es-
pecially drink for the poor; as nur-
sery substitute for the milk and water
with which children are largely fed, it
would be more economical and infinite
ly more nourishing; nor can there be
any doubt, as indeed it is not a matter
of theory to assert, that children of any
rank quickly learn to like it better than
anything else that can be offered them.

Irregular Teeth.

Occasionally in horses we meet with
an excessive length of the front teeth.
But in such cases the direction of the
teeth is such that the upper row over
laps the lower, and forms what is
termed parrot mouth. Besides being
unsightly, this condition interIeres
more or less with the ability of the
horse to bite off grass; but it does not
interfere materially with his picking up
the food from the manger, or the hay
from the rack, nor do such irregularity
interfere in any manner with the func-
ton of the grinders. The approximate
ing surface of the front teeth and those
of the grinders are always worn off at
the same ratio; hence such thing as
the grinders not being able to meet, on
account of the length of the front
teeth, is entirely out of the question,
and nothing whatever would be gained
by rasping the front teeth. That the
horse lets partly chewed food drop out
of the mouth, is one of the symptoms
of the presence of diseased or de-
caying grinder, or the existence of
sharp or projecting points, or rather
Irregularities in the upper or lower row
of grinders. Such sharp or projecting
points are often the cause of consider
able injury to the inner surface of the
cheek or the tongue, and this, or the
presence OF a decaying tooth, some
times produces much inconvenience or
pain, such as will cause the horse to
drop the partly chewed food. Un-
doubtedly careful examination of the
grinders will reveal one or two of these
conditions. which may be remedied by
the aid of tooth-rasp used for such
purposes; and in the case of carious
tooth, it may be necessary to extract
the same and plug the cavity. Prairie

A Curious Incident.

The intelligence OF old troop horses
Is the subject of many anecdotes which,
wonderful as they often are, will rarely
be doubted by any one who is familiar
with horses. A good story illustrative
of their sagacity is told and vouched for
as authentic by South African paper.
The scene of the occurrence was
Potchefs.room, where our men and the
Beers were known to be very near
neighbors; so near, indeed, that when
the horses were turned out to water
they had their headstalls and halters
taken off, so that IL the enemy sud-
denly appeared and tried to catch the
animals they would have nothing to lay
hold of them by, and the horses would
have chance of escaping into their own
lines. One evening, as usual, the horses
were let out of the fort to water and
rushed straight to the place where they
usually drank. But the Beers were
nearer than had been suspected, and
jumping out of some trenches, sue
ceeded in capturing the animals, in spite
of the fact that the halters were missing.
The Beers, being admirable riders, as
is well known, mounted, and would,
probably, have been able to guide their
new steeds into the town, when sud-
denly the bugle at the fort sounded
horses in at q trot,' and straightway
the whole of them turned and made for
home, carrying their unwilling freight.
The Dutchmen threw themselves off
right and left, but four were carried
right into the camp and taken prison

There is no danger of wearing this
subject threadbare, for people are be-

plenty of sleep is requisite to health,

the better does the brain work. All
great brain workers have been great
sleepers. Sir Walter Scott could never
do with less than ten hours. A fool
may want eight hours, as George Ill.

men who have been the greatest Gen
erals are the men who could sleep at
will. Thus it was with both Wellington
and Napoleon. The greatest speakers
in the House of Commons have been
the men who 60 to sleep there as much
as they like. This explained the juve-

in many cases the best of medicines.

side. He drank and slept, slept and

These last words were pronounced in
tone so real and full of feeling, that

symbols of the past; each of them re.

THE DAIRY.

--Annatto is superior to carrots for
ooloring butter because in using tho
latter the vegetable matter Incorporated
Is likely to decay and impart n bad
flavor. The annatto is also vegeta-
BILE substance, but being dissolved in
potash only the mere coloring matter is
left, and such minute quantity Is need
cd that 1t cannot impart any flavor to
the butter.
"A COW is not inclined to gluttony.
Usually when the appetite is satisfied
COW will stop eating. Any cows appe-
tite may be gagged in this way: Give
her all the feed she will cat and have
some left. Weigh what is given to her
and notice what Is consumed. Then
make the ration three-fourths of the
quantity eaten. No animal, not even
man, should have all it can eat, and the
surplus above what is necessary is in
furious, and produces disease. Gener-
ally more harm is done by overeating
for COW is fifteen pounds of hay and
live pounds of meal, or the equivalent
in either feed. AS grass or green fod-
der contains seventy-fivo per cent. more
water than hay, four times as much
grass vi Srccu lOuuer SnOulu DC given
in place of hay; that is, sixty pounds
with the meal. Some cows will require
more, and very few less, than this guam
tity of feed.
1t is not true that tho butter from
the cream of farrow cows is lost in the
churn when it is mixed with tho cream
from fresh cows. 1t may seem reason
able at first sight to suppose that if
fresh cows cream may be churned in
fifteen minutes, and farrow cows
cream in thirty or forty minutes, and
when the two are mixed the butter
comes in twenty minutes, that the cream
of the farrow COW is lost and not
churned. But it is easily seen on con-
sidering the principle involved that it is
not so. For the butter exists in the
cream in small globules in the condi-
ton of an emulsion or mixture. Now,
when the butter from one cows cream
begins to form the small particles gather
up and coalesce with the butter of the
other cream and very soon unites with
it. 1t may be tested by taking the but
ter out of the churn and going on with
the churning of the buttermik, when it
will be found that no more butter can
be procured. y Times.

. THE FERRY on TnR DEAD.

There is-so ancient legends say
, A distant island white and fair,
That shines within some clearer air
Across the stretch OF cape and bay,
Itself pearl most flne and rare.
Blue sky above, blue sky below,
II hovers lightly on tho rim
OF vision, delicately dim,
Beyond the shoals where fishers go
On any voyage, gay or grim.
For, ever when one seeks, II flies,
Hecediug faintiy as n star
Drawn back through clouds, and yet moro far
II glimmers on the straining eyes,
No nearer than the planets are.
But on the hither strand thero dwell
brave hearts who seek II cvermoro;
Who push frail craft away from shore,
Hoping, mt length, some tale TO tell
OF lands In which all care is Ger.
And in the night, to them that wait,
There comes n sound of hurryng feet,
With througing footsteps, soft aud neot;
As when the autumn wcareth late
And vet leaves fall when breezes meet.
A thousand shnllops line the shore;
A thousand men must entcr them-
Each with the ghosts who brush the hem
OF garment or impede the oar,
And crowd tho bark from stern to stem.
Invisible to him who steers,
The spirits of the dead arc there;
Tney rustic on the midnight air,
They culver with unspoken fears,
And he who guides them says prayer.
And when the island CLEANS Mt last
out of the blackncss, pearly white,
Strange perfumes fill the windloss night,
And suddenly the ghosts ure passed
Into that region calm and bright.
Thus thou and must watch and wait
By day. by night upon the shore;
And hosts of others go before,
And leave us here disconsolate,
With these few dreams and nothing moro.
Thus far we go with them that sail
Unto the port no sun reveals,
Whose fuller truth the light conceals;
The search for which has no avail,
And where no knowledge guides our kecls.
And always we return and say:
"Therc.is an island white and fair
That shines along that clearer air:
And we shall dwell, though not to-day,
Within that region fine and rare"
oh, spirits of the dear ones, gone
Like faded leaves, blown by the breath
OF him whom we cntitle Deathl
We follow you! and on and on,
To find what Joy this legend saith!

Gardens for Children.

All children love flowers, and take
delight in cultivating them il given the
opportunity. How infinitely more en-
tertaining such a study as botany or
vegetable physiology might be made if
the dry teaching of the classroom and
lesson-book we're illustrated by the
plants thatwere beng coaxed into bloom
in their own flower beds. What a
pretty combination OF outdoor and in
door employment, again, for child to
cultivate flowers, and then to draw
them in outline as they come into
bloom. What could possibly be amore
healthfnl and wholesome occupation for
an intelligent child than to collect the
prettiest of wild flowers from their ma
tive pastures and hedgerows. and culti-
vate them in the "wild garden at
homeP All sorts of knowledge might
be gathered up in such pursuit, in
yolving as it would the necessity for OBJ
servations of the favorite haunls of the
various flowers, the effects OF different
soils, their mode of propagation. sea-
sons OF bloom, ETC.. and the inquiry
might often be made to lead away into
collateral topics-the folklore asso-
ciated with them, fairy tales and poet
fancies and historical associations.
Then, again, how easy and appropriate
to make flowers the means Of drawing
out sympathy with neighbors, or with
the sick and suffering at a distance.
And aga n, the cultivation of flowers
always exercises refining influence.

added, but no coloring matter is used.
When the curd has come, unlike the
method pursued in making most other
cheeses, it is taken out without being
broken and put whole into a drainer,
where it is squeezed down hard until
the whey is entirely pressed out. When
dry it is put, with a clean cloth, into a
chessel and placed beneath the press.

sufficiently firm to be removed it is put
upon dry board and tightly bound

changed daily, in order to avoid cracks

for its further use, and nothing more
need to be done to the cheese than
