FARM, FIELD AND PRESIDE.
a Large Butter Dairy.

o. M. Tinkham, secretary of the Yer
mont Dairyman's Association, has visit
ed farm in Pennsyl vania, owned by
Jessie and Jared Darlington. The farm
contains $50 acres, and the herd consists
of $50 cows of no particular breed.
Their feed is bright clover hay cut and
mixed with ,tn equal quantity by weight,
of corn-meal and wheat bran, about
eight and one-half pounds of each. The
milk is separated directly after it is
brought in, the separators being run by
an engine in the creamery, and the
cream set aside in the cans to ripen, as
the late fashionable phrase is, or, in
plain United States, to sour before
churning, which is done twice week;
and in cold weather little sour cream
is left in the cream can to hasten the
process. The churn is made of cedar,
barrel shaped, except being OF uniform
size and with three narrow slaves pro-
jecting inside The butter is washed
by pouring cold spring water into the
churn after the butter milk is drawn

put away in the coolers to be shipped
next day. The prints are half-pound and
pound Jumps, each wrapped in muslin,
and are shippedin galvanized iron cans,
in cedar tubs, with ice in warm weather,
and holding from pound and half to
seventy pounds of butter.
Their average product is about twelve
hundred pounds per week, and it is
sent to Philadelphia, New York, Bos-
ton, Washington, ETC., and they are now
sending to families which have been
supplied by their father and grand
father for seventy five years. The les
son in this for the dairyman seems to
be: Careful feeding, the making of
uniform article the year through, and
getting good reputation for your
butter. By this is meant the making of
a good article and getting it to the
consumer with the knowledge of where
it is made.

Home IiSe.

The morality of happiness is discussed
in the Popular Science Monthly by a
writer who says of home life: Con
slider home life, for example. In near
ly every home there are those who are
disposed to take unfair advantage of
the rest; and they are far better re-
strained by the quiet resistance of their
attempts than in any other wager
tainly far better than by yielding, con-
tinued till nothing but the anger reused
by some attempt, more barefaced than
the rest, moves to resistance. We see
this especially exemplified in the fam
lies of careless parents-unselish
perhaps in sense, but really negligent
of their duties. 1t has been said
for this reason that unselfish par
ents have commonly selfish chill
dren, which seems contrary to the
law of heredity, but illustrates rather
the natural influence of detective train
ing. The fact really is that the chill
dren of selfish parents are as rule
more selfish in character than those OF
the unselfish they grow up to be as I'M
pleasant in their ways as the children
of careless. unwatchful parents; and
their unpleasantness is more apt to be
permanent. Yet the unchecked ways
of children whose parents yield unwise-
ly to them illustrate well on small
scale (even though happily the mischief
is often transient) how the assertion of
just claims, and the restraint of wrong
doing, involve form of egotism which
must be regarded as duty"

The Rusty FLOW.

If you have very rusty plow," says
a writer in the Concinnat Times, "pour
about eight ounces of sllphuric acid,
as purchased at the apothecary's, into a
quart of water; do this slbwly and very
carefully, for it will burn hands, cloth
ing or almost anything else; also, use
an earthen or crockery vessel rather
than tin or iron one. Apply this to
the rusty surface two or three times,
making each application as soon as the
former one is dry. Then wash with
clear water and repeat the process.
Give some of the worst spots a rub
with bit of Bristol brick, wash again
with water and wipe dry. Put little
kerosene around the bolts and take the
pillow to pieces, securing each piece to
get off the remainder Of the rust spots
if necessary This sounds like a for
midable process, but the whole opera
tion ought not to take over an hour.
Oil all exposed surfaces with kerosene
when you set the pillow away, and when
you do your spring blowing very few
turns will finish off the balance of the
rust"

General Gatherings.

The seriousness of the collapse in
the shipbuilding in Scotland was made
apparent during the attempted sale of
a fine new steamer the other day. The
vessel is classed A /; she is well en-
gined, and guaranteed fast; yet no of
fer above ct los. per ton could be OBJ
tanned, and she was finally withdrawn
from sale after one bidder had offered
$4,000 below the contract price for her.
So that before leaving the ship-y ard
this vessel had fallen in value by the sum
of $4,000, or 40 per cent of her estimated
worth.
An old Indiana railroad man recently
remarked that 50 per cent. of the acct
dents which occur when men are coup
ling cars are through their own reckless
ness or want of attention. In his large
experience, he said he had never known
q half dozen cases where men had been
injured in coupling cars if they had
been duly careful.

storing rurs in Summer.

"When we put furs into storage for
the season." said a furrier recently,
"our first care is to beat them thorough
" with rattans to drive the dust out,
and get rid of the moth eggs that may
have been laid in them or been blown
into them from the air. This done,
They are hung on wire frames that dis
tend them, and put into closets that are
lined with tar paper. Moths cannot
stand the strong odor of tar, and never
live long under its influence. Every
three or four weeks the furs are taken
from the closets and beaten with rat
tans; and so, in the course of the sea-
son, every article has to be handled at
least dozen times. In oldtimes cam
phor was used; but it has been discov-
cred that it had tendency to detract
from their color and make them much
lighter in hue. / suppose there Is
something IN the dyes used for sable
and other dark furs that camphor in
fuences. Old women still use that
drug, however; and when you see
sealskin sack or cloak or
QOluldH tIldG SHOWS SbItdhS Vi
gray or muddy yellow, you can
be sure that it has been kept in
camphor through the hot weather. The
whole secret of keeping furs is to beat
all the dust out of them and keep them
in close closet impregnated with the
odor of tar. Another old preventive
was pepper, either cayenne or common
black, but this has been abandoned;
and some good housekeepers used to
keep their furs in tobacco cuttings. I
have seen moths flourish in to bacco !;
and, where have seen insect powder
used, they have sometimes injured the
furs In some way, or have been totally
useless in guarding them from their
bitter foe.
Another desideratum in stroring
furs is strict cleanliness. We wash all
the closets every spring with water and
common washing soda, and the latter
serves to destroy any moth-eggs that
may have got into the place. Thus
our closets are never invaded by the
moth; but should we show carelessness
for a single week the result would be
disastrous. Muffs, collars. and other
small articles we keep in boxes, pack
ing with them sufficient taxpayer to
keep ont the moths, and the shelves on
which they stand are always kept free
from dust. Popular Science News.
