FARM NOTES.

The richest and thickest cream G ntains
from IS to 65 per cent. of water
"A few drops Of ammonia added 10 the
water in a vase ofAowers will preserve them
much longer.
Cows should be milked at least twice
each day, and at regular hours. The strip.
pings contain most Of the cream, or butter
and this poor milker rarely obtains.
Among newly set plants, cabbages and
tomatoes, the frequent use of sharp-tooth-
ed rake, which can be passed rapidly over
the ground, will destroy vast numbers ol
weeds before they make much show.
Within few years the expectation o
dried apples from this country to France
has enormously increased. 1t is now said
that a considerable part of this useful pro-
duet comes back in the form of Normandy
cider and light claret.
