At the annual meeting of the Yer
mont Dairymen's association, held at
Burlington recently, the improvement
of pastures was the subject of paper
read and a discussion following in
which the statements and suggestions
below appeared.
Great benefit has been derived from
the changing of pasture into meadow
and vice versa. There is no better
treatment Of rundown pasture lands
than by blowing, fertilizing and stock
ing again with grass. 1t is not advisa-
BILE to drain reclaimed pasture until
the sod becomes well established.
Needy pastures are best reclaimed by
turning in sheep. Persistent moving
alone will destroy brakes, bushes, gold
en-rod or thistles. Dry, hard land
makes the best pastures. In a good
pasture there should not be many
bushes or trees, only enough for shade.
=
pastures and ought never to be per-
mitted to grow in them.
The use of phosphates in conjunction
with manure was advised by one men,
Der. Another suggested plaster and
salt, and still another recommended
narrowing and sowing to clover seed
mixed with herds-grass every year,
with the use of plaster aud phosphate.
Several members advised the feeding
of grain to stock all the year round.
This extra feed improves the cattle and
furnishes a much greater quantity of
manure for the pasture. One member
sows clover seed in the pasture every
year; another applies moderate dress
ing of commercial fertilizers to each
crop.

FOR THE FARM AND HONE.
The Temperlns OF the Cream.

The tempering of cream is one of
the most important operations in butter
making. This is especially true in cold
weather. The different parts of cream
are affected differently by heat. A can
of cream may be placed in kettle of
hot water and heated till the thermom-
eter indicates sixty-two to sixty-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 10 ne, and it is
approximately so in all cases where
the heating is rapid. Cream should be
kept warm for several hours before
churning that it may become warmed
through. Or, if it is necessary to tenn
per it hastily, it should he raised con-
siderably about the chumlng tempera-
ture and suffered to fall back, which it
will do in a short time.-Lics Stock

GEORGE JONES, of Oglethorpe county, Ga.
shot and killed his wife whom he had
married when she was only eleven years old
and who had refused to live with him after
he had assaulted her mother.
ST. PAUL Mimi dispatch says it is re-
ported ON trustworthy information that the
government has decided to release S ting
Bull and his braves, 40 in number, from
military custody. They will be taken on
May from Fort Randall where they have
been since they were removed from Fort
Yates. a year ago. and placed unon the
reservation at the Standing Rock agency.
ANEW ORLEANS theatre, just before the close
of the performance, was the scene of pan C
resulting from an alarm of fire. The large
audience made a rush for the roof and after
quiet was restored it was found that two
men, two women and three children had
been severely hurt.
The receiver of the Marion Trust com
pany, of indianapolis, Ind, reports that in
one year nearly 100000 has been taken in
and $4,000 paid out by the concern. The
victims of the swindle number about 5000,
and the average amount received from each
was $40.

Household Hints.

Oil-cloth may be kept bright wheD
almost worn out if, after washing it,
you take flannel cloth and dip cor
ner of it in kerosene, and rub the oil
cloth with it. Of course, a very little
oil goes great way, and care must be
taken not to use too much.
Carpets rolled up during tile hot
weather can be kept free from moths
by wrapping here and there. between
the folds, pieces of flannel dipped in
turpentine; this is better plan than
peppering, as the smell soon goes of
when the carpet is laid down again,
and the inhabitants of the room are
not all seized with apparently an at
tack of sudden influenza.
Wash your lettuce and salads twice
at least; let it stand first in water with
a little salt in, and then rinse it again
through clear water, so that not the
slightest danger remains of anything
remaining about it that would be I'M
clean. Lettuces grow low, and are
exposed to all kinds of things, and
great care should be taken to have
them dealt with in the most clearly
manner.
An exchange says: Some one may
wish to know how to wash a linen
buster, in such a way that it will not
look faded. An old colored linen
duster should always be washed in
lukewarm water. If there are any
grease spots use little hard soap, or
better still, remove them with benzine.
Rinse thoroughly in water in which a
third of cup of salt has been dis
solved; the last water must be blue
and a small handful of starch put in.
AS soon as the duster is dry take it
down, so that the wind will not blow
the starch out. If damped with warm
water it will soon be ready to iron.

The petuna is very easily cultivated,
and will give most generous recon-
pense for any labor or expense that is
bestowed upon it. The petuna is a
great lover of sunshine, and should
always be set in a sunny spot. 1t de-
lights in a rich, warm soil but VIII
flourish on almost any kind OF ordinary
SOIL if the exposure is good. 1t makes
a rapid growth, and if kept clear of
weeds in the early part of the season,
will soon cover the ground with a mass
of foliage and bloom. After that it
requires but little attention. and you
can cut, cut, cut, and still your plants
will be covered with flowers. When
the plants are YONG, it is beneficial to
tie the branches to the ground, thereby
making them branch at the joints, and
increasing the foliage. BY judicious
selection of varieties, there may be OBJ
tanned many colors and shades. There
are double and single flowers, the single
alone being one of the tenants of the
garden. The double is rich and beau
tiful, the double white, being very
fitting for the ornamentation of collins
and graves.-ProgreSsiOniSt.
