Canning MIX.

A farmers wife suggests, through the
Orange County Farmer, the idea of can
ming milk, which may in some cases be
desirable, as, for instance, to bridge over
dairy drouth: Visiting farm few
years ago, some excellent coffee upon
the tabledisclosed the presence Of cream.
This surprised me. FORT Knew the COWS
were dry, and there were no very near
neighbors. / asked, and then, the ans
wer was, %, that is canned milk Since
done the same way two seasons, and in
tend to do so again soon.. When the
milk is brought in and strained. put 1t
onto boil in steamer, or pail set into a
kettle of boiling water. As soon as it
reaches the boiling point and begins to
bubble, pour into glass jars already pre-.
pared and heated, and screw up immedi-
ately. Keep it where it will not freeze,
and when needed it is ready for use"

A CHAPTER ON LIMBS.
Legs of Great Men All Remind Us We
Can't Make Our Own Sublime.

Can't Make Our Own Sublime.
Chicago News.
Signor Salvini kindly admits that Hen
ry Irving is an admirable actor, but he
thinks no man with such legs as Irving
has can be great.
We do not believe Signor Salvini is
any authority on the subject of legs.
Contrary to his implied theory the
greatest characters in history have had
bad legs.
Caesar had short legs.
Napoleon was bowlegged.
Piutarch tells us that Alexander's left
leg was badly out of plumb. Hannibal
had VIGOROUSLY big heels, and was
knock-kneed.
Cicero was very spindle-shanked, and
Demosthenes is said to have shuffling,
stumbling gait, which means that his
legs were not wholly in gear.
Alexander Pope was humpbacked and
had a cripple's legs; so did Cowper.
Lord Palmerston had caricatrlre legs
and so did Disraeli.
General Grant and Phil Sheridan are
both ducklegged.
To make long story short, Roscoe
Conkling is the only superlatively great
man we have in mind just now whose
legs might trnthfully be termed classic.

of us spread over much ground to raise

Keep Calves Growing.

Never allow the calves to get stunted.
Always keep them growing. This is the
whole secret of raising calves. One of
the best farmers in New England writes
that last spring calves are not as large
and thrifty as fall calves, although fed
grain all winter. They didn't do well
the first three months of their lives,
which explains their lack of thrift since.

The I,lue-Grass Country Not Blue.

Sportsman.
The term bluegrass region of Ken
lucky is quite extensive in its applica-
ton, but In its popular sense it applies
only to the remarkable body of land in
the centre of the state, which comprises
six or eight counties surrounding Lex
ington. This ia yered district, which sci
entific authority has styled "the very
heart of the United States" is underlaid
by a decomposable limestone, which inn
parts to the soil an unsurpassed fertility
and gives to our grass, known to botan-
lists as poe pretensis, rich and perma-
nent luxuriance which it attains no
where else. Hence the term the "blue-
grass region" a synonym for the acme
of fertility of a district which also beans
the proud distinction of"the garden spot
of the world"
But why our grass is called "bluep
when it never is blue is one of the I'M
solved problems. 1t is always green ex-
cept when in bloom, when the heads
have brownish purple tint. II, how
ever, the term "blue grass" is meant for
an abbreviation of the limestone grass,
then it will do; for certainly it only
reaches its highest perfection on our
wonderful blue limestone soil. Propa-
gated without cultivation it comes up
thick end juicy in the spring, ripens in
June, renews its growth in autumn and,
its verdure in spite of snow
and ice, furnishes abundant and une-
qualed pasturage during the entire win
ter. 1t is believed to be indigenous.
