How to Water m a Drought. rpraaffoo8 xza,,,s.-1

In the summer thoughts which now and then occur it is common to see per sons everywhere at work watering the garden to keep things alive till the reg ular rain comes. It is however, the ex- perienee of all that the more the garden is watered the more it wants, and thus on the whole 1t does little good. Yet water can be So given as to be free from tbls objection. It is the hardening or the surface which causes the evil, and a hard compact surface always dries ont faster than loose one. The proper way for a few inches around the plant to be watered, so as to make a sort of basin, and into this pour the water, letting it gradually soak away. Alter it has all dis appeared and the surface gets q little dry. then draw the earth back again which had been displaced to make the basin. ThiS will make a loose surface over the watered part, which will ore serve 1t from drying out rapidly. To. matoes, cgg plants. cabbages and other plants of this character wateTed this way will need no renewal of water for sever al weeks. IL Is slow way of getting such work done, but it is the only sure way of doing it.

Working Butter How to Water in a Drought-Agricultural Notes.
 Maryland Farmer

Mary 1And Farmer.
 The working of butter is a manipula~ ton that requires the utmost skill, for over~wolking destroys the grain of the product, and any motion of the worker that produces grinding should be avoid. ed, and to detect this and correct it. takes a quick eye and steady hand The chief purpose in working butter is to solidify il, and at the same time expei the re- maining buttermilk and thoroughly lifiuse the salt through the mass. and this last should be done with as little mixing as vii exactly accom- .ish the requirement., lor the grain of the salt cutting the gloeules of the butter, injures the grain of the latter. and the butter becomes waxy.
 The butter should never exceed a temperature of sixty degrees when work ed, as higher point causes the butter to grayitate towards stickiness; and when worked at too low point the butter be- comes meally and the texture is de. stroyed.
 If at the last working there is addi- tional salt required, care must be taken that the butter has become dry. so that It will not be dissolved; but many dairy. men throw few quarts of water into the worker" at this stage to aid in dis solving the salt, and carry with it the particles of buttermilk that have re- mained over from the previous work ing.
 There is mistaken notion in regard io salt adding 10 the keeping quality of butter. The long keeping Danish butter perfectly worked, but never receiving a particle of salt, proves the latter is not, So far as it relates to the keeping or bul~ ter, preseryative agent, and that no amount of salt will keep butter, unless certain rules are observed and reQuire- ments met. The papers teem with no- tiees of butter preservatives and inyen- yenticns 10 keep butter indefinitely, but it will probably be a long time before any of them will come into general use; and for years to come the long keeping butter will be found to be an article made from cream, where perfect clean lIness was observed in obtaining il and the butter churned and put into pack ages under system of rules relating 10 age of cream, temperature, and work ing,

The dog that ate it was none the worse, nor the handle either, in the end. An Esquimau told the author that the following were the points to be noticed in selecting a good dog-a broad breast, short ears, strong legs, large feet, low loins, and a moder- ately long tail. The tail must not bend too near it's root, as this shows the loins to be weak.
