How to DO Some Things.

Take cup Of cream off the milk pans
every morning when you make bread; it
will make the bread moist, white and deli
cate, and you will hardly miss it from the
cream.
A 1aerino or cashmere dress may be
mended neatly by wetting piece of court
plaster of exactly the same shade as the
goods, putting it on the wrong side, pres
sing down every frayed edge and every
thread, and lying weight on it until thor
oughly dry.
Take coach varnish and renew all your
oil-cloths. Wash them clean, wipe dry,
and apply co of varnish. BE careful
not to step on tnem until they are dry. II
this is done once a year the oil-cloths will
last twice as long as they will without it.
For the top Of your round-tabe that
must reflect your face use the following
polish. Take one ounce of yellow rosin
and a pint Of raw linseed oil; melt the rosin
in pipkin, and add to it by degrees one
half of the oil: when thoroughly incorpor-
ated, add by degrees the remainder. Be-
fore using the polish, it will be best to
wash the table we'll with warm water and
rub itquite dry.

About Keeping Butter.

Brining butter is very usual process, re-
marks the agricultural editor of the New
York World In this plan rolls of butter
in canvas wrappers are packed in jars or
tubs containing brine. In the report Of the
Vermont Dairymen's Association MI. X. A.
Willard stated that he knew from actual
experience that good butter put up after
the following directions will keep in sound
condition one year: Use for package
tub somewhat tapering, with heavy slaves
Ind heads provided ut both ends, so as to
make package that will not leak. In
packing the tub is turned on the small end
and sack of cotton cloth is made to fit the
tub, and into this the butter is backed I'M
lii it reaches to within On inch of the groove
for holding the upper head. cloth is
the edges of the sack brought over this and
neatly pressed down; then the head is put
in its place and the hoops driven home.
The package is now turned upon the large
end and the sack of butter DROPS down,
top. Strong brine is then poured through
hole in the small end until it will float the
butter. The hole is tightly corked, and the
butter is pretty effectualiy excluded from,
the air. Where only small quantity o1

By this plan little brine is put irto the
jar, which is then packed not quite full Of
granulated butter Some bleached muslin
is laid over the butter, then the little space
above filled with salt, and finally enough
strong brine, made from butter salt, poured
in to fill the can. Mr.. Willard adviser

SilO and EnSiIace Fever.

The NeW England Farmer has been de-
voting very considerable amount of space,
with the statement of material facts, to the
matter of solo and ensilage; it accepts the
fact Of "fever" upon this subject, declares
that many are SO crazed by wild expec-
tations that they are rendered unable to
judge with any degree Of reason, and con.
clndes by intimating that when the experi-
ment has been more fully tried it will en-
deavor to say something more definite as
to its value. There need not from the
first, to have been any doubt as to the worth
Of the claims made by DR.. Bailey. Their
extravaganza was as obvious as was that Of
the unlimited claims for his fertilizers by
DR.. Stockbridge. That the silo fever will
have some good results is as certain as it
is that commercial fertilizers are some
times valuable addition to the
resources Of the farmer. Mr.. J. w.
Sanborn of the New Hampshire Agricultur-
al College, prcnounces the ensilage system
as described by its friends, t, be fallacy,
because the have claimed utter impossi-
bilities, as when they report more product
in milk from COW fed on ensilage than
they amount of food given contained. 1T
is" he says useless to proclaim that some-
thing can be produced from nothing, even
ny blu pICCCo6s
But there will be, in consequence of the
discussion Of this question, and the growing
of forage crops f)r the silos, and @ better
appreciation Of the value of Indian COIN,
a more thorough study of the care Of COWS,
and general gain Of information which
will be worth ali that it will cost. Silos
and ensilage are old adjuncts Of the farms
on the continent of Europe. They will
prove in themselves beneficial to the farm
ers who know how to manage them, and
works on scale stuff ;iently large to make
them profitable.

intellectual Position or Woman.

The Pail Mall Gazette says of M. De.
launays scientific inquiry: He shows that
among some lower forms of animal life the
female is superior to the male, but that as
we ascend in the scale the superiority Of
the male in all respects becomes more and
more pronounced. So in the case of the
human race; in the lower types Of humani-
ty the two sexes are very nearly equal, as is
also the case among iIliterate peasantry and
the laboring class. AS we ascend to the
higher types of humanity and in the social
scale, the difference between the sexes
tends more and more 10 widen, the advan-
tage being on the aide of the male. So al
so when the subject is looked at in point
of age; up to about twelve years girls intel
lectually are, if anything, superior to boys,
but after that the latter leave the former
far behind. Physiologically, NJ Delaunay
tries to show, the same result comes out
His main conclusion is that woman is only
undeveloped man; that the pre- eminence
of the female over the masculine sex, be-
ing met with only among certain Inferior
species, or races, mai ks lower degree OF
evolution. But as even be admits that this
evolution is largely dependent on surround
ing conditions, his investigation rather
strengthens than weakens the position OF
those who contend that no obstacles should
be thrown in the way of the complete INTEL
lectual. development Of "undeveloped man.
