there are but few known points where they
reach state Of perfection sufficient to make
them an acceptable fruit. The trees
grow thrifty, and are early and heavy
bearers, and the fruit-well. il is so luscious
that IL almost melts in ones mouth.
In France. when poultry are dressed, the
waste products are scrupulously saved. The
feathers are carefully collected and sorted,
and when we'll dried are sold to dealers
The intestines are boiled, the fat SKINNED
off, minced as food for poultry, and the
liquor fed to pigs. The combs and kidneys
are sold TO pastry cooks, the first for decor
ating and the latter for pies. The head,
neck and feet are sold 70 hotels restaurants,
etc for iavoring sauces, or boiled down to
make chicken jelly.-Poultry Yard.
The tempering OF the cream is one OF the
most important operations in butter making.
This is especially true in cold weather. The
different paris of cream are affected differ.
emily by heat. A can of cream may be placed
IN kettle of hot water and heated till the
thermometer indicates sixty TO sixiy-fve
degrees without having heated the butter
glObules in the cream at all. This Will not
ordinarily be the case, it is true, but it is
liable to be, and il is approximately 50 in all
cases where the heating is rapid. Cream
should be kept warm for several days before
churning that il may become warmed
through. Or, If it is necessary 10 temper 1t
hastily, il should be raised considerably
above the churning temperature and suf-
| fered to fall back, which it will do in short
time-Breeders' Live Stock Journal.
II may be set down as a rule in stock rails
| ing that cattle can not be wIntcred on rough
feed alone in this part OF the country with
ont losing flesh and condition. An occa-
siOnal farmer, by extra care, and with the
use OF shelter aud first-class hay and fodder,
may bring his stockers through decently
without grain; but where one can do this
twenty will find their stock badly run down
against spring From the time an animal
| Is allowed to go backward in condition the
chances are againstis being a profitable in
yestment. Condition should always be held
with at least tendency toward improve
inert, il not with a positive gain in that di-
rectiOn The policy of attempting TO winter
stock wholly without grain will not do, and
between adopting it and quitting the bust
ness the latter course is preferable. Grain
is never so high that the starvation OF stocs
can be afforded.-Pittsburg S'ockman.
Professor Budd gives the following drec
tons for grating the grape: Root grating

the apple Scions OF Delaware and otbe

Oped and set the scion, by whip or clef
mode, low enough to be mounded for GOV
