q dispatch from Cincinnati that the
state had gone Clevelnnd-ward by 5000
majority. Whercupou wild Texan,
who happened to be in the city, moved
to make q speech to the mighty

How Bad Butter is Made.

Cream from unsound milk, cream
that has been long in rising, cream
that has been kept too long after skim
ming-none of these can be made into
first rate butter by any skill in churn-
ing or after treatment. Good cream
will give pale and spongy butter, if
churned at too high a temperature.
Butter will come all the way up to
seventy degrees, and even little high
er in winter, but it will be poor; and,
further than this, if cream is churned
six or eight hours and the butter has
not come because the cream is imper-
feet or the temperature is wrong,
though the temperature may then be
rectifed and the butter brought, the
product will be inferior in color, text
ure of flavor, and generallyin all three.
1t has been SO hurt by overchurning
that it can never be restored to any
thing like excellence.-Mirror and
Farmer.

Country Roads Again.


We are pleased to continue the dis
cussion on the subject of country roads
by the following from the Country
Gentleman In some regions the
treatment which the public roads re-
ceive is detestable. A highway is made
by scraping sods and muck into the
wagon tract because these materials
are most easily moved, and after every
rain they make a deep bed of stiff NOR
tar for the wheels to cut through. Of
ten the soil scraped into the track is
left in heaps without levellng, this
work being intended for the vehicles
TO work down, but which is not accom-
plishcd. Sometimes mud is actually
drawn out of the bitches and heaped
in the centre of the track. Loose
stones and fast stones, when they ex-
ist, are rarely disturbed. Many roads
are made worse by being "mended.' y
An intelligent observer estimates that
nine-tenths of the labor taxes during
the past twenty years to the farmers of
some of our townships have been worse
than thrown away, and the soft mater
ials used have rendered the roads near
ly impossible at certain periods. The
true way is TO use nothing for the
road-bed but the hardest materials
gravel, broken stone. hard.pan, etc.
We have seen capital roads made by
scraping away the soft and mucky stra-
tum which formed the top soil, and
laying bare the hard under-soil. Any
one who has seen the difference be-
tween the ease and freedom with
which a team travels over hard and
smooth track, and the hard work re-
quired to drag load through mud and
over stones on a badly made and man
aged road, cannot fail to appreciate
the necessity OF giving more attention
to this important subject. The farmer
who lives in neighborhood Of good
roads is practically much nearer to mar
ket, mills, mechanics shops, schools
and churches, than the one who must
travel the same distance over rough,
muddy and stony roads, cut with deep
ruts; and where good management pre-
walls the wagon and harness will last
longer, the teams will thrive better, and
the owner will accomplish his work
more rapidly and with greater satisfac-
ton. Counting all the advantages,
thousands of dollars will be saved an
nually in every neighborhood by good
roads over bad ones. We invite the
attention of intelligent farmers TO this
subject, now that the season is favora.
BILE for work on the roads, that they
may use their influence for general
reformation.

Cutting up Corn.

There is no better feed for stock
than cornstalks, especially for milch
COWS, when it is properly preserved !;
but great lesssening of value is made
by allowing it to fully ripen on the
hill, or be exposed to a severe frost.
As soon as the kernels have dented
well, the crop may be put into the
shock with perfect safety, the stalks
containing sufficient nutriment to thor
oughly mature the grain. BY watch
ing this closely, and setting to work
at the right time, and crowding the
job to completion, the fodder may may
be saved in high state of nutritive
value, and the corn go into the crib in
prime condition for keeping or feed
ing.
Another thing of Importance is, to
put up the shocks in a substantial way.
The cutting of ten rows at time, and
putting one hundred hills to the shock,
we have found to be the most economi-
cal, although it requires little more
labor in carrying. In the first place,
less surface is left exposed to storms,
sunshine and frost and in the second
place, the shocks will stand up better,
and this is matter of no small impor-
tance, for where the work is not we'll
done, very great amount of fodder is
damaged by the shocks being twisted
down, or thrown over, under the inhu-
ence of the wind.
Early husking is another thing that
should not be neglected. AS soon as
the crop is sufficiently cured, the work
should be begun and this will enable
the farmer, who has any moderate
amount of this crop to harvest, to get
the grain all nicely cribbed, and the
fodder bound in bundles and stacked
or stored away in the barn before the
cold storms of winter come on.
Drawing corn into the barn in WIN
ter and attempting to husk it there, in
creases labor very materially, and ne
cessitates loss of feed, a certain per
cent of water-soaked and damaged
grain, besides cold fingers and i'll tenn
per.
There are many farmers who do not
value corn fodder to a sufficient extent
to be particular about preserving it
when hay is plenty, but we fully be.
ieve it will pay at any time, for, as be-
fore stated, all kinds of stock relish
it, and will thrive upon it, and for the
production of milk no dry feed is bet
ter, or in our experience, equal. OuI
advice is, save the corn fodder to feed
out, and sell surplus hay.
When cutting up corn, the best time
is afforded for selecting and saving
seed. A plant in the very best part o.
the field, of sufficient size to furnish al
desired, should be left standing till full
ly ripe, and then picked and cared fol
in the common way of hanging up by
the hasks in dry place. The advan
tages of this is In having all of the chit
thoroughly matured, and avoiding an!
possibility of injury from heating o
molding while packed upon the stall
or in the crib

The Art Of Soup Making,

There is a constant controversy going
on as to the economy, digestibility, and
necessity Of soup at the commencement
of dinner, some maintaining that
dinner without it cannot literally be
called a dinner others, prejudiced
against ''slops," discarding it from their
tables altogether, while a few who
would gladly, perhaps, take advantage
of an opportunity to reduce the meat
bills, have only the will, being igno-
rant of the way. The average middle
class wife and mother may have sigh
ed over the items of ribs and sirloins
of beer and legs and shoulders of NUT.
ton, aud said to himself "Ah! we
must take to having little soup"
with praiseworthy promptitude and zeal,
she has perchance opened her cookery
book, of the old extravagant style, and
closed it sorrowfully, a sadder, if not
q wiser woman, the brain all dizzy from
the strings of ingredients and the long
line of knuckles of veal, shins of beef,
sold fowls" and slices of ham which
she is commanded to "throw into the
stock pot" if she would insure sue
cess.
Now with soup-making, as with all
else, once master the theory and the
practice is comparatively easy while,
on the other hand, years of practice
without a perfect knowledge Of the
why and the wherefore will prove of
no avail. Let me illustrate my mean
ing clearly The would-be soup-maker,
in scanning recipe, discards it as i'm
practicable because she lacks one or
more of the ingredients mentioned,
while she who grasps the modus oper-
andi, owing to her theoretical knowl-
edge, at once substitutes others, or per-
haps dispenses with them altogeth-
er
No doubt in many families the pre-
judice against soup has arisen from the
fact that it is usually prepared and
served in large quantities, instead of,
as at the tables of the rich, in small
portions, though many of the kinds
which / hope to enumerate would furn-
ish in themselves a substantial meal for
a growing child. At any rate, the ad-
vantages of commencing dinner with
soup are manifest in the saving Of the
meat bills, and economy practiced in
utilizing scraps of all kinds for the
making Of the soups, and the comfort
able sensation experienced after little
has been taken /; for let any person who
feels, as the saying goes, "too hungry
to eat" swallow few spoonfuls of
soup, and the feeling of exhaustion
will quickly pass away. Indeed, a
well-known authority hes said that
nothing tends more to restore the tone
of the stomach, and make easier of d.
gestion that which is to follow, than
little soup.-CasseNs Family Nd9a-
zine
