Butter and Brine

Good, clear, strong brine certainly
aids in the preservation of butter. The
consumer Of tub butter should add to
the supply Of brine ii the original sup
ply becomes diminished. The grocer
or provision dealer does not empty the
brine from his barrels of fish and pork
as soon as their purchase is completed,
If he expects the perfect preservation
Of their contents. The subject under
consideration is the keeping OF butter,
and E. w. BIS remarks about the ap-
p.irdnce OF "Iancy print thrust into
brine on its way t. the table" is neither
important nor pertinent. Professor Y.
a. Willard once wrote: Experiments
have been made in sending butter
from California to our Eastern markets
packed in brine, and it came in prime,
fresh condition, and altogether supe-
ri'ir to the same kind of butter put up
in Cry packages. He also mentions
several ways OF packing in brine, and
says, butter put up in tbs way, know
from actual CX berment, will last a
year N sound condition, aad believe
would cross the Atlantic and open as
fresh in London market as when it
left the dairy this side"

Slaughtering by Electricity.

"Death by electricity is becoming
a famous subject for letters to the
daily papers. AS humane means of
inficting capital punishment there is
much to be said in its favor, especially
after the two recent cases of bungling
at the hands of the hangman. But
none of the humanitarlans who ad-
vocate electricity as a substitute for
the butchers AK seem alive to the
disadvantages attendant thereon. That
"large amount of terror and suffer
ing to the poor beasts that die that
we may live would be avoided by the
proposed change is obvious enough.
and has been often pointed out; but
what are the compensating disadvan-
tages? Some years back a series of
experiments were tried on sheep at the
now defunct polytechnic institution
with the enormous galvanic coil madi
by Messrs. Apps, with the following
results. The sheep fell Immediately
upon the discharge of the current, to
all appearance dead. In some cases,
however, the animals showed signs of
life after a short interval; SO that it
became difficult to tell whether shock
was or was not sufficient to effect the
purpose intended. This difficulty could
be got over, no doubt; but when killed
the carcass was always found to be
more or less damaged in market value.
Dark lines and spots were found iG
different parts. which were thereby
rendered entirely unmarketable. Again,
it is commonly supposed that meat ex-
posed in a thunderstorm becomes
tainted, and we have no proof that
such would not be the case with cleo
trically killed cattle. The objection
that the process of slaughtering by
electricity would be attended with dam
ger to the butchers is less valid, for all
such danger could be easily obviated.
A few practical experiments. carefully
conducted, would test the proposal -

l. Never allow any one to tease nI
tickle your horse in the stable. The
animal only feels the torment and
does not understand the joke. Vicious
HABITS are thus easily brought on.
2. Never beat the horse when in the
stable Nothing 50 soon makes him
permanently vicious.
3. Let the horses litter be dry and
clean underneath as well rs on top
Staining on hot fernenting manure
makes the hoofS soft, and brings on
lameness.
4. Change the litter partially in
some parts and entirely in others every
morning, and brush out and clean the
stall thoroughly.
5. To procure good coat on your
horse naturally, use plenty of rubbing
and brushing. Plenty of "elbo1
grease" opens the pores, softens the
skin and promotes the animals general
health.
6. Never clean horse in his stable.
The dust fouls the crib, and makes him
loathe the food.
z. Usethe currycomb lightly. When
used roughly it is source Of great
pain.
8. Let the heels be well brushed out
every night. Dirt, if allowed to cake
in, causes grease and sore heels.
9. Whenever a horse is washed,
never leave him until he is rubbed
quite dry. He will probably get a
chill if neglected.
10 When horse comes off a jour-
ney, the first thing is to walk him
until he is cool, if he is brought in
hot. This prevents his taking cold.
IL. The next thing is to groom him
quite dry, first with a wisp of straw
and then with a brush. This removes
dust, dr. and sweat, and allows time
for the stomach to recover itself and
, the appetite to return.
u Also, let his legs be well rubbed
by the hand. Nothingso soon removes
a strain. I, asD detecs thorns or
Splinters, sootheS the animal and en-
ableS him to feed comfortably.
Ii. Let the horse lave some exer-
else every day. Otherwise, he will be
liable to fever or bad feet.
IA. Let your horse stand loose if
possible, without being tied up to the
manger. Pain and WEAKNESS from a
confined position induce bad hi b is
and cause swollen feet and other dis
orders.
Is. Look often at the animals feet
and legs. Disease or wounds in those
parts, if at all neglected, soon become
dangerous.
10. Every night look and s if there
is any stone between the hoof and the
shoe. Standing on it all night, the
horse will be lame next morning.
IL. If the horse remains in stable
his ftet must be "stopped" Heat
and dryness cause cracked hcof AMI

Poultry Notes.

Give the fowls an occasional feed of
boiled or raw chopped carrots.
Cooked carrots mixed with corn or
barley meal are most excellent for fat
tening fowls for market.
Dust the breeding hens occasionally
with sulphur. Grease the heads of
newly-hedged chicks with a very little
Lard. In preparing the nest for set
ting hen always sprinkle the eggs with
sulphur.
Hens are early-risers, and do not
like standing around on one foot wait
ing for their breakfast. The morning
meal with them is the most important
one Of the day. Boiled pot;t $, tur-
nips, carrots, anything in the vegeta-
BILE line, mixed with bran or shorts,
seasoned with pepper and salt and fed
warm, viii make any well regulated
hen cackle with satisfaction. Feed a
few handfuls of wheat screenings at
noon, and at night give a liberal feed
Of whole grain Of some kind.-PoUltTy

Peculiarities OF Dickens.

Thomas Powell, an English literary
gentleman, now and for many years a
resident of New York, was intimate
with Wadsworth, Coleridge, Charles
Lamb, Dickens, and other noted Eng
lish authors of the past fifty years.
Mr.. Powell, in the course of an inter
view with a correspondent, had the
following to say about Charles Dick
ems.
"About this time Charles Dickens
was boy engaged in the manufac-
ture of backing, living miserable
life. He never forgave his father,
John Dickens, for aving him to pen
ury and discomfort during his boy
hood, AMI hated him all his life for it..
Micawber was Dickens idea Of his
father very much toned down. was
at first thought to be Micawber by
some of our set. Leigh Hunt said to
me: 'They do say Di ,kens has done
you up as Micawber.' 1T can't be- 1
answered.; 'Micawber was a.good,
honest man-that explodes that lie.'
A cousin of mine, Thomas Chapman,
was, l suppose, the original of DOM
bey.' John Dickens was clerk in
Somerset house, and our families were
well acquainted. Charles Dickens
and John Brougham were the best,
readiest, wittiest after-dinner speak
ers ever heard. Dickens was always
quick at retort.
II remember once meeting him at
the house of Il well-known society lady
in London, whose name l had rather
not mention. Lockhart, Scott's son-in-
law, was present. He had just done
up Dickens in the quarterly Recie,0
and had said: He has gone up like a
rocket and will come down like a
stick The hostess, with total
lack of tact, persisted in drag
ging them tog, tier. 'Oh, here,
Mr. Lockhart, come hereP she said,
: l want to introduce you to my friend,
Mr.. Dickens. Mr.. Dickens, this is the
man who has just said you have gone
up like rocket and will come down
like a stick 'Ahp p exclaimed Dick
ems, shaking hands, did he say that ?
Very well, Mr.. Lockhart; when the
stick comes down l shall have the
pleasure in laying it over your shoul-
ders 7 And SO they laughed it off.
Dickens had wonderful animal
spirits. He liked to be going-walk-
ing-gunning doing something. His
buoyancy sometimes became brusoue-
ness and savage rudeness. 1t also
caused him at that period of his life to
de;pise style and elegancies of all
sorts. went with him once to dine
at fashionable house, and the ser
want turned us loose in the parlor to
await the appearance of her mistress.
Dickens was at once seized with a de-
sire to commit some outrage on the
furniture, which was beautifully up
hulStered in cream satin. 'Hup
here's larks = he exclaimed, stepping
up into one of the chlirs, and, in spite
of my protest, he ran around ON the
chairs, nimbly hopping from one to
another a,ong the wall. He had made
about half of the circuit of the room
when the lady suddenly appeared. He
jumped down, embarrassed, and apollo
gized to her. They had never met be-
fore. She acdepted the apology, but
lded significantly: 'Mr Dickens, there
is no other man in the world whom
would forgive His love of fun and
action occasionally led him into mis-
chievous frolics that cost him friends.
