Winter Dairying.

The better class of lives in the United
States are beginning to demand good
fresh butter instead of the salted article
which has heretofore been eaten through
the winter months. In consequence,
those farmers who try to please the
palate by producing u sweet nutty-tast-
ing commodity, will reap their reward
by receiving remunerative price. Set
ting aside fancy prices, it is certain that
good fair rate will always be paid for
butter which can be depended upon to
come to hand weekly in the uniform
quality. The best butter maker in the
United States fails unless the cows are
fed properly, therefore there must be the
righ sort of food The hay should be
made from grass cut when in bloom,
and this alone will do, but some corn
meal and wheat bran will increase the
cream, and add rich flavor to the but
ter Also the use of CARROTS will cause
q greater flow of milk, and there will
then be the peculiarly fresh taste which
which characterizes butter when the cows
are in pasture in June. OF course, com
Portable stabling, cleanliness and cXer
else in sheltered yard will be requisite
for'full success. The COWS should have
their calls in September or thereabouts
And the heifer calls from all good milk
ers should be raised, which can be done
on skim milk In the autumn there is
no forage or food of any kind better for
milk COWS as a help to falling pasture
than pumpkins. After the pumpkins
are gone, CARROTS are better than any
other variety of roots, ,and if fed till grass
comes again there need be no loss in
quality in the butter. The quality of
the milk will be equal to the best grass
senson, and will depend upon the cows.
Any man having commonsense, and
managing properly can obtain double
the average given by cows of the kind
usually met with, if he will buy good
ones and breed from none but deep
mixers, and from bulls that are from
deep milking strains.

Keep Sheep.

At least few sheep should be kept
on every farm No kind of stock is
more profitable. In starting a flock, a
few superior animals should be chosen
instead of double the number of inferior
ones. The increased value of a flock
range from good sheep, will greatly ex-
coed the increased cost of a few good
ones to start with, over what inferior
ones would have cost. Start with good
sheep and keep them good or make them
better, by generous keeping. 1t one in
tends to half starye his sheep he might
as well begin with half starved ones, as
they would be more likely TO "hold
their own" than those used to better
keeping Sheep keeping, however, is
not profitable when the starving process
is adopted, and we would not recon-
mend it to farmers who practic any such
methods. When good sheep are pur-
chased to start with and are well kept,
sheep keeping is profitable, beniiioial to
the farm, and is TO be commended

Faiihless Chests,

Thirty-four years ago two young men
studying in Germany made bargain,
signed in the most orthodox manner with
their blood, that whichever of them died
first should appear to the other. The
survivor of the pair now puts on record
the death of his friend III 1873 and his
failure to keep his promised appointment.
A similar contract was made by Lord
Brougham in youth with Scotch
friend, and the manner in which the
spirit of the departed friend appeared to
the future Lord Chancellor is described
in Lord Brougbam's photography. DIR.
Chance of Sydenham Hill, who tells the
story in notes and queries, believes that
this il the first recorded instance OF a
failure keep to this kind of obligation. In
this statement, however, he is mistaken.
Such pledge was made by Jupiter
Carlyle and a young Scotch friend who
died early in life; but the interview,
though most anxiously looked forward
to by that most genial of mankind, as he
confessed in his autobiography never oc-

The best naturel flooring for henhous
es, all things considered, Is clean dry
earth upon an earth floor; it is better
than any solid flooring of wood, stone,
brick or asphaltum; pulverized loan, OF
road dust, mixed with air-slacked lime,
and plentifnlly scattered over the floor
until raised foot or more above the
outside. The droppipgs by night or by
day are dcoderized by the loose earth
and their fertilizing properties are
kept fresh and valuable. The floor
should be scraped at least once week
with close rake and the earth sifted
from the droppings. The manure should
be stored in barrels for future use, OF

A Remedy For Small Pox.
From the Philadelphia Times.

FROM the ihuadelphia Times.
A good deal of excitement has been
occasioned in Catholic circles during the
past few weeks by report that sister
of charity connected with st. ,Joseph's
orphan asylum, at Seventh and Spruce
streets, had discovered specific for the
prevention and cure of small pox
Crowds of people of all classes of society
have been flocking to the asylum daily
with jugs, bottles, cups, and every species
of vessel that would hold water in quest
of the remedy. The lady to whom cred
it for tho discovery has been commonly
| ascribed, is known in rligion as Sister
Gonzaga, and is the superior of that
branch of the sisters attached to the as
ylum and is the head of the institution.
"A visit to the lady was made yesterday
by reporter for the Times after talk
with Rev. Father Jordan, of st. Joseph's
church, who is firm believer in the eff
fcacy of the specific. Sister Gonzaga,
who is more commonly spoken of as
Mother Gonzaga, is lady about seventy
years of age, of the most prepossessing
appearance.
AT the time of the reporters visit
Mother Gonzaga was leaning over an
| immense tin tub, in the improvised labo-
ratory of the house, engaged in the man
ufacture of the specific, for which the
demand is enormous and constantly
growing. Mother Gonzaga disclaimed
all credit for the discovery of the rene
dy. She received the recipe some ten
years ago from Father Kenrick, of Ger
mantown, who had it from French
| physician, who had discovered it during
the prevalence of small pox epidemic
in Paris. The remedy was, however, al
together unknown to physicians in this
country, none of whom showed any dis
position to interest themselves i'll it,even
when spoken to upon the subject. When
the prescription came into the hands OF
Mother Gonzaga she Immediately set to
work to give the public the benefit OF
the discovery.
The principle ingredients of the RENE
dy are digitalis, or extract of foxglove
and sulphate of zinc. Each is dissolved
separately and then mixed together ant
sugar in solution added. The mixture il
translucent. slightly fragrant and of
greenish hue 1t is sweet and pleasan
to the taste. In using teaspoonful Ii
taken every hour for twelve CONSECUTIVE
: hours. Mother Gonzaga and her assls
tants have been kept constantly at worl
during the last four or five weeks to sup
: ply the demand. No price is put upol
e the remedy but many make little OF
I fering for it. But of all that the repor
ter saw few gave anything more thar
: thanks, though all were equally welcome
= the rich and poor alike. 1t is usual !,

cine little scapular of the Sacred Hear
and a printed prayer that no Christian
would object to utter, but no religion

Work In the Orchard Now.

At this season of the year, if not al.
ready attended to, in many places reach
ed by our paper, the husbandman takes
his saw and hatchet and pruning knife
and goes to his orchard to trim his fiut
trees. 1t may be that as the twig is bent
the trees inclined; but somehow this
foresight is always ready to hand, and it
grows as we would not have inclined it;
and often when we know better, the tree
runs on. in its own wiful way, simply
fer want of time or occasion to put in
practice that which we know. Certain
ly of whatever might have been, as an
abstraction, looking on things as they
are, we know of very few orchards that
good pruning will not benefit
In large number Of cases, where the
orchard is of some age, sprouts will come
up from the trunk just underline ground,
and form complete bundle all around
it. This is more likely to be the case
with trees that have overborne, and have
large number of half-stunted branches
and also in cases where the borer has
been working in the tree near the ground
Whatever obstructs the passage of the
sap up the trunk, induces shoots to break
out below in this way. Of course we
should try to help this by encouraging
yigor in the head of the tree, so as to
check this tendency TO throw out collar
sprouts; but at any rate these sprouts
must come away. Many rest with cut
ting them back to the ground, which
merely makes them push stronger next
year. The ground should be opened a
little with the grubbing hoe, and with
the same instrument the sprouts rooted
clean out. Throughout the tree these
are often and should be cut away, unless
the main brcnches show signs Of being
worn out by disease or Overlooking, il
which case it is best to cut these long
arms way down to the vigorous sprout
which should thus have chance tC
grow up and replace them. Sometimes
cutting away these large branches leaves
large scars on the trunks, and the oil,
wood, weakened by disease, soon rot
away, and leaves hollow place for wat
er to collect in, and then the hole 500
gets worse. But this is remedied b,
painting the place over. 1t makes N
difference what kind of paint is used
Anything that will keep out the waite
from the wood will do. 1t is bccaus
these precautions are neglected that pee
