Firm Butter Without Ice.

In small families, where the dairy is
small, a good plan to have butter cool
and firm without ice is by the process
of evaporation, as practiced in India and
other warm countries. A cheap plan is
to get a very large sized, porous earthen
fower-pot, with a large saucer. Half
fill the saucer with water, set it in a
trivet or light stand-such as is used
for holding hot irons will do upon
this set your butter wei the whole in.
vert the fower-pot, letting the top rim
of it restin and be covered by the water +;
then close the hole in the bottom of the
hower-pot with a cork then dash water
owe the t1ower-pot, and repeat the pro-
cess several times a day, or whenever it
looks dry. If set in a cool place, or
where the wind can blow on it, it will
readily evaporate the water from the
pot and the butter will be as firm and
cool as if from an ice-house.

A correspondent of the Culieator
thinks that o large quantity Of iron in
the soil is favorable for the production
OF fruit, especially for peaches. Lands
having so much iron MS to make the
soil sterile for ordinary farm crops have
been noted for producing a sure crop of
peaches of the finest quality,
The use of q timothy-head to cure
chickens of the gapes is barbarous, and
editors ~iudorsing it by publication,
ought to snare in the odium. One might
about as well use a rat tail file. Those
desiring to know how it must affect q
sick chicken, should try it first in their
own wind-pipes. That such a remedy
a cure the gapes in the sense Of
saving them, is preposterous.
Turkey raising is carried on exten
sively in Tehama county, Gal. One
man, in addition to raising and tending
a large flock of sheep, raised nearly 700
turkeys last year. Large Aocks Of from
1000 to $4,000 are frequently met with,
tended by women and children.
For profit don't keep old fowls year
after year, except for extraordinary
merits. Some few old hens are famous
mothers, and are worth keeping on that
account sometimes. But as q rule work
them off in two years or 80.

California received a postal card from

glass to read a portion of it. He made
up his mind that he would not be out.

preparations to reply in The same style.

answer, which he finally brought to a

entirely consumed. When his task was
completed he counted the number of
words, and found that he had six thou.

number exceeding the one he had re.

written with a steel pen, and can be

The IncAs.

Perhaps some of the most remarkable
of ancient dwelling-places are the
ruined homes ofthe Incas, still scattered
about on that great continent which, by
a strange misuse of terms, w call the
New World. In these vestiges of palaces
and large cities, on the worn stones of
grand and massive monuments, lies the
undeciphered history Of that motley
empire, in which fragments of surround
ing races conquered by the Incas were
mixed up in a high degree for, before
the waves of Spanish invasion surged
over Peru, there were no pages of his
tory to turn back for a faithful picture
of the national life; no possibility of
tracing the successive steps which led
the Incas from their early seat of civ
ilization to the shores Of the Pacific
ocean.
Tradition says that the first homes of
the Incas are to be found on the shores
and islands of the sacred lake, T%iticaca
and among the ruins there many OBJ
iects of interest in gold and silver and
pottery have been discovered. Some of
the few rare specimens of pottery pre-
sent fair representations Of the people
of those far-off times, which show that
they were identical in feature with their
descendants Of the present day. But
at the period when this ace of kings
are first met with in history, their en-
pire extended for two thousand five
hundred miles, and included thepresent
states of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and
part of Chill. It was traversed by the
two great mountain ranges of the Cor
dilleras. A great portion of this vast
kingdom was practically unhabitable.
On the plateau of the Despoblado,
which lies far above the limits Of eternal
snow, between the mountain ranges,
there is no trace Of human habitation,
excepting small huts Of refuge built by
the Incas on the main road between the
northern and southern parts of their do
minions. And in the desolate regions
around the lake Umayo, the only dis
tinguishing features are the innumera-
BILE chulpas or burying towers, which
stand singly or in groups upon the
desert plain. Round or square, these
tombs are solid structures, with one
cavity at the base, entered by a narrow
hole in the side. Some are in ruins q
few as perfect as when first completed (;
many, doubtless, as completely vanished
as the ashes they were meant to c1ver.

As Doth Appear.

As we are prone,to view the mat.
ter, Governor Hamilton has done an
honor to himself, equally with Hon.
John Richie in appointing the latter
to the chief. judgeship of this district.
1t was possible only, that demo
crat should be appointed and in cnoos-
ing to honor Mr.. Richie, he has awak-
ened chord that will vibrate in har-
mony with the desires Of all liberal
men and must demonstrate to all,
however bigoted or partisan, that ma
chine politics have no terrors for our
plucky governor. What we desire to
say is, that Mr.. Richie will inspire as
great degree of respect and will be
confessed alike honorable and capable
bv those who differ with him politi
cally, republicans, as any man that
could have been named and that in
his own party the act of the Governor
in appointing him will be accepted by
that sestion or faction of the demo
cratic party in this county, which Mr..
Richie represents, and which has no
honorable desire to be affiliated with
the Maryland, Ring, as an earnest OF
his (the governor's) sympathy and de-
sire for their political betterment,
that may, at least should, 60 a long
ways towards bolstering up that fac
tion and requiring of them 10 force the
fighting between the two cllques, SC
that each may know its strength and
be depended upon accordingly.
This much we see in this appoint
ment that it will in all probability,
this coming fall beget an issue, in
which many, VINO have thus far been
able to fight under both colors, will
be called upon to register their choice,
With not inconsiderable breach in
the republican party in the county
and the likelihood, that the death of
Judge Bowie and consequent judicial
election this fall will draw distinct
lines between the Ring and ti-Rmg
factions of the democratic party there
is probability of no ordinary con
vulslon in county politics this fall,
and we think we see in the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Richie not only wor-
thy choice, but choice method Of ad,
ding to the energy Of the coming con-
yusion.
