there is always a little buttermilk adher-
ing TO the butter that gives it a peculiar
flavor, in addition to that of pure butter,
which many people like when it is new.
Washing removes all this foreign matter,
and leaves only the taste OF the batter
pure and simple. Those who prefer the
taste of the butter to that of the former
ingredients mixed with it, like the wash
ed butter best. The flavor of butter con-
slsts OF fatty matters, which do not COM
bine with water at all, and therefore cam
not be washed away by it. The effects
of washing upon the keeping qualities of
butter depends upon the purity of the
water used. If the water contains no
foreign matter that will affect the butter
it keeps the better for having the butter
milk washed out instead of worked out
Evidently the grain of the butter will be
more perfectly preserved if the butter
milk be removed by careful washing.
The grain is such an important factor in
the makeup Of fine butter that It is
necessary we should be very particular
not to injure it in any way if we would
excel in the art of butter-making.

shallow Cultivation for Fruits.
Ftuit Grower.

Fruit growers must be reminded that
their hoes, oultivators and ploughs may
do more damage to plants than good if
not used with discretion. The small
fruits-berries, currants, grapes, also
dwarf pears, ounces, etc, root near the
surface. Here are found the best roots,
those that provide most nourishment
Natare designed these to be mulched by
the dead leaves, and in our fields mulch
ing would be the best treatment if it
were possible. As it is, the best we can
do is to give frequent but shallow cult

ploughing deep furrows alongside of their
raspberries currants and grapes, well
satisfied that they were doing thorough
work that would secure an abundant har-
vest. Let such men dig up one plant be.
fore thus ploughing and one after and
see what butchery they have committed.
There are no tap roots stretching far
down into the sub-soil, but simply few
inches below the surface, and more than
half of these have been sacrificed by the
ploughshare. When We set green hands

berries we know what thev will do II

Training Horns.
National Live Stock Journal

National Live S'ock Journal
If it is desirable to strighten a horn
you NAV frequently scrape with a piece
of glass or knife, the hollow side, which
will cause ii to grow faster on that side,
but in that case il must not be scraped
deeply, for then il becomes weaker on
that side, and will be turned toward the
weaker side. Some scrape the side
toward which they wish TO turn the horn
quite thin, and then scrape the opposite
side just enough to make il grow faster
on that side. a very barbarous way to
turn a horn is sometimes practiccd by
soaring with hot iron on the 81 lie toward
which the horn is to be turned. This
prevents the growth Of the horn on that
side, and the growth upon the other side
turns the horn. The horns may be
polished by rubbing them with fine sand
paper, and then with pumicc stone, and
oiling them. But this artificial manipu-
lation of hons is seldom necessary. The
horns of well fed cattle viii generally
grow in comely shape if let alone. The
hair is sometimes oiled to give it a glossy
appearance, but the best gloss is put up
ON the hair by rich and appropriate feed
ing. Nature, under proper conditions,
does this work best.

Keep the stables Clcar of Elics.

One of the greatest hindrances thrift
during hot weather is the annoyance
caused by flies. This is true both in field
and stable. In the former we cannot, in
any considerable degree control them,
but in the latter we can. The better
class of stabler should be provided with
screens. By this mode, flmigation being
practiced to drive the flies out, the stock
may be quite well protected The plac-
ing of small vessels of chloride of lime
about the ceiling will sometimes answer
the purpose of keeping them out of the
building. If decoction of lycopodium
sometimes called VOLTS claw, which is
the largest of the European MOSES, be
placed in bladder the neck being sup
piled with qull nozzle, by means of
which the liquid can be sprinkled where
the flies accumulate, early in the morn
ing, the effect upon the flies will soon be
seen, as it quite promptly destroys them.

Farmers should Cooperate.
Farmers Masaz.ne.

Farmers Magazine.
II the farmers in a single township, or
even neighbofhood were thoroughly
organized for the purpose, with but little
expense to each, they could procure the
finest blooded horses, the most SNOWY
and graceful cattle the heaviest ficcccd
sheep, or the purest-bred hogs, and the
gain would more than compensate for
the effort. They would be enabled to
command higher prices for farm stock
the cost of transportation would be les
sened, from the ability to market in bulk,
the most costly agricultural implements
could be pro lred, and the advantages of
schools, churches and libraries be avail
able to all. Cooperation does not inter
fere with the ordinary business of the
farmer. IT does not mean communism,
nor does it teach immortality. II is not
necessary for them TO work together on
the same farm, or sell out and try some
thing new. We mean nothing of that,
but we wish to advise the farmers to
club together and form cooperative as
sociations for purchasing supplies, stock
seeds, implements and other necessaries
and for selling the produce of the farm
In other words, if capital can stud the
ocean with thousands of sails, cross the
mountains with tightening speed, anc
build up hundreds of mammoth enter
prises, It teaches farmers that by follow
ing the same course they can do many
things for themselves that would be i'm
possible for the single individual TO per
form. United effort overcomes all diff
culties and surmounts every obstacle
great or small.

Alfred Breslaw, an industrious Ger

wife and sixteen year sld daughter on

while reclining on a lounge in the sitting
room. Five or ten minutes later his
wife and daughter discovered that he
was dead. The wife fell in swoon,
and the horrified daughter ran scream
ing into the street. The house was soon
fielled with ncighbors, who found Mrs.
BreslaW in spasms at the side of her
dead husband. She was carried up
stairs and placed in bed, while the
daughter was taken to a neighboring
house. The case was hastily investi-

stricken wife and daughter regained
their senses, they were astonished to

taken to the morgue. She went 10

for the purpose of claiming the body and

And he looked the brightest and best OF boys
Under his new straw hat.

And we made Us though it were dust and rain
Were hlling our eyes with tears.
We looked in his innocent face 10 see
The sign of n sorrowiul heart;
But he only shuudered his bat with glec
And wondered when they would start
Twas not that he loved not as .retofore.
For le boy was tender an' kind;
But his was a world that was all before,
And ours was u world behind
Twas not his iluttering heart was cold
For the child was loyal ald true;
And the parents love the love that is old
And the children the love that is new.
And We came TO know that love is flower
Which only groweih down
And we scarcely spoke for the space OF an hour
As we drove backIhrough the town.

FACTS FOR FARM ERS.
ITEMS OF INTEREST AND PROFIT TO
THE AGRICULTURIsT.
DrauglIt Horses.
Pennsylvania Farmer

There has been such demand made
upon Western Pennsylvania for draught
horses the past few years that farmers
who have been fortunate enough to
breed heavy horses have found it decid-
edly to their advantage when their stock
was brought to market. The supply is
not vet up to the demand for heavy
draught horses, and we see a. result
that there is a tendency on the part of
breeders to meet this demand. The
question with the average farmer and
breeder is not so much as to what he may
prefer, but what is the most advantageous.
the most profitable TO breed. For ordi-
nary farming purposes, in compara-
lively level country, a horse weighing
200 pounds is perhaps IN most respects
the most desirable animal. But, as farm
ers raise four or five times as many
horses as they themselves use, the ques-
ton of breeding simply Is what is the
most marketable horsc? In selling eat
tie to the butcher hc.pays according to
the weight, the heavier the steer the
higher the price. Two pounds of be Is
wortl twice rs much as one pound. in
draught horses this rule does not hold
good, the advantage being on the side Of
the heavier horse. When a ! 200 ID.
horse sells at $50, or l2l cents apound,
LOO pound horse sells at $500, or nearly
Is cents a pound, making market of
40 per cent premium over the lighter in
favor of the heavier horse. 1t Is not
difficult to sec, therefore which is the
most advantageous horse to breed for
market 1t is simply question of dollars
and cents and is readily seen by any
one.

Girdling for Apples.
New York Tribune.

On June 20, 1874 or 1876, / girdled
three Northern Spy trees, with view to
bringing them NO bearing, as they were
large enough to bear three or four barrels.
The experiment was a success, the trees,
bearing as large a crop as | could wish,
and that too on the "off" year, and they
have done so ever since Three years
later (Which of course was on the odd
year girdled three more fruitless trees
These came into bearing on the even
year. Up to this time my OBJECT had
been fruit, without regard to time. 1t
now occurred to me that as the trees
came into bearing the next year after
girdling, the bearing might be controlled.
Again, in 1850, girdled about 100 young
trees Just old enough to bear With but
few exceptions these gave a good crop in
1881, and some of them needed propping,
and from others part Of the crop was
taken early to prevent the limbs from
breaking. About onc.half are Baldwin
and Grcening, and bore partial crop
the same year they were girdlcd, they
appear now little pinched and damaged
by the treatment. think they will re
cover in a year or two. I would not let a
tree bear the same year it is girdled and
would only take off an inch or less of
bark, and that too very carefully.
