Cream.
A writer on dairy matters in one of
our eastern exchanges says: The be-
havlor OF cream by the addition of wa.
Ter Is subject that should be well nm
derstood by the owners of creameries.
LII Is known that the addition OF cold wa
ter TO the milk causes the cream to rise
with greater rapidity than it would 9th
erwlse do. But the effect of adding wa
ter to the cream itself is not so we'll nm
derstood. Cream is lighter than milk
and water is also lighter than milk.
There Is very little difference between
the specific GRANTEES of cream and wa
ter. Indeed very poor cream may be of
precisely the same specific gravity as
water. Cream varies much in its char
acter. OF Six samples, the proportion
OF water contained have been found to
vary from 90 to 1925 per cent, while
the proportions of actual fat have var
led from ~ to 43.9 per cent. 1t is a
TACT that cream is not only exceedingly
rich milk, and the milk of the cream has
precisely the specific gravity of SKINNED
milk that is free from fat, which is !
OBS. The fat of milk has specific

calculate how much fat there is required
to make the cream weigh precisely the
same as water. Then water and cream
thoroughly mixed would not separate.
and certain proportion of water NAV
be mixed with cream, and if the water
IS properly thickened and coIored as it
is sometimes, with starch and yellow
matter, nothing but chemical ANALYSIS
would detect the adulteration. AS n
practical illustration of the possibility
of dishonest treatment OF cream we
might refer to an experiment made by
Prof. Muncy, at the Iowa College, in
which eight parts of water were added
to two parts of cream. and two and a
quarter hours after the cream which
separated was doubled in quantity.
while In II hours the cream still showed
an increased bulk of one part In 20, or 5
per cent. These facts show that the
cream gauge and the milk-can are
neither to be relied upon as n test Of
cream, while the natural variation in
quality, which is SO large, must neces-
sarily operate to the disadvantage of
those whose cream is richest 10 fat, in
favor of those whose cream is poor.

4" Hard All -

Itrom the San francisco POST
Last Tuesday, while five of the Pioneer
! Club six-oar crew were sitting In their
shell and swearing vigorously at the nom
appearance of the sixth man, who was
| half an hct.r late, a well-dressed and
modest young stranger strolled into the
boat house and began inspecting the
| equipments with great interest.
"I'll tell you what we'll do, fellows, "
| said the stroke. "As No. isn't COM
ing, suppose we coax the dude there to
take row and bust him all up ?"
The preparation of this time-honored
joke upon "softy" was roceived with
appreciation, and the newcomer was,
with a grand show of hospitality,
invited to take the vacant oar.
Swell, I don't know, gentlemen"
said the young man, looking at his
watch doubtfully.
Pm stranger here. L do need a
little exercise, though.
ooh, get in. said No. 2, winking at
his companions, ga little spin will do
you good, and they finally persuaded
the victim of their kindly scheme to
take off bis coat and assume a club cap.
Now keep your eye on me, and try to
keep time said the captain. "You'n
never, never make an oarsman unless you
watch the stroke"
"Ill do the best can, gentlemen"
said the guest, meekly. I'm always
willing to improve
The boat went down towards Hunters
Point couple of miles at an easy, three
quarter stroke, the newcomer pulling
away manfully with the rest, and when
they eased OF TO turn back they were
surprised to observe that the stranger
did not appear to be quite so much
blown as they expected.
"Now, then, young feller,' said the
stroke, with a grin, "try to keep up
with the procession. Hit her up, boys.
Hard all -
But, somehow, the stranger scratched
along with the rest, and, though the
pace was somewhere like forty-six as
they passed Butchertown, the victim
serenely sawed away, and the bowman
even imagined that he splashed less than
any oar in the boat. When they finally
drew up to the float, and while the crew
were painting for wind, splitting cotton
and wipiGg their dripping faces, the
passenger" look around, with child

softly remarked:

Protection I'm Winter,

III gardeners would bear in mind that
air is conductor of heat, or car
ries it only by its motion, they would be
enabled to select the best substances
for covering and protecting plants,
fruits and vegetables. The inch plate
of air iu a double-g glazed window-sash, if
the glazing is alright, is very effec-
tual guard against the admission of
frost into cellars, greenhouses and 9TH
er apartments. Care is of course essen
tial to have the sash fit tight 10 the win
dow frame; for it will do no good to shut
the cold out with double sash aud admit
it in streams of freezing air pouring in
through crevices. The principle of air
strata shows the value of dry forest
leaves, which owe their efficacy to the
many thin plates Of air between The
leaves. Covers for tender plants made
of several thicknesses of newspapers be-
come efficient non conductors In the
same way. For like reason thick
covering of leaves will smother and kill
the plants of a strawberry bed. These
plants retain their green leaves through
the winter and are not wholly dormant.
Entirely excluding the air will smother
them, in the same way that deep and
dense snow-drift will smother crop of
wheat, as every farmer is aware, the
wheat plants retaining their green leaves
through the winter. For this reason,
straw, which is not SO good as leaves to
cover dormant plants, is better for cover
ing strawberries. Leaves may, how
ever, be used even for these plants if
applied quite thinly, and with a slight
layer of small evergreen plants next to
the plants to retain some air, and with
a few more over the leaves to hold
them against the wind. Evergreen
branches alone. however, form an excel
lent cover for strawberry beds, and
when the winter has had but little snow,
the contrast is striking IN early spring,
when the evergreens are removed, be-
tween the lively green of the plants
which have been covered, and the brown
leaves of those which have been ex-
posed. Country Gentleman.

Melt Your Butter.

A Sunshiny Husband.


A sunshiny husband makes a merry,
beautiful home, worth having, worth
working In and for. If the man is
breezy, CHEEKY, considerate and sympa-
thetic, his wife sings in her heart over
her puddings and her mending basket,
and renews her youth in the security she
feels Of his appreciation and admiration.
You may think it weak or childish, il
you please, but it is the admired wife.
the wife who hears words of praise and
receives smiles of commentator, who is
capable, discreet and executive I have
seen timid, meek, self trusting little
body fairly bloom into strong, self-reli-
ant woman under the tonic and the cor
dial of companionship with husband
who really went out OF his way to find
occasions for showing her how fully he
trusted her Judgment and how tenderly
he deferred TO her opinion. In home
life there should be no jar, no striving
tor place, no insisting on prerogatives.
or division of interests. The husband
and the wife are each the complement
OF the other. 1t is just as much his
duty to be cheerful as it is hers to be
patient; his right to bring Joy into the
door as 1t Is hers to sweep and garnish
the pleasant interior. A family where
the daily walk of the father makes life g
festival is filled with something like q
heavenly benediction.

The Mind Dependent on the Body.

HypochondriA is a far common malady than
is generally supposed. 1t has It's degrees il is true,
progressing from mental depression, the ''bues,
to mental hailucinahon; bat they are all forms Of
the same malady. Ii il a significant fact that this
mental ailment is Invariably accomplished by dys-
pepSia and nervousness, and the fact that it readily
yields TO the Alternative action OF Hoststters Stomach
Bitters which are peculiarly adapted to the ersdiea-
ton OF indigestion and nervous debility, proves
that it originates in those complaints. 1t will thus
be seen how dependent the mind is upon the body
for the preservation of cheerful equilibrium, and
Aiso how readily the causes of mental gloom may be
removed. There is no pleasanter way OF
shaking off III Of depression brought by indi-
gehtion, than by swallowing a dose or two of this
agreeable medicine.

Digging Butt Stumps.

Farmers who have spent their lives on
the prairles have little idea of the vast
amount of labor that was required to
prepare land for cultivation in the for
est portions of this country and Canada.
To convert wilderness into tillable
farm is to devote lifetime to toll Cut
ting down and burning up the trees con-
stitute but very small part of the labor
The stnmps are not easily disposed of.
They cling TO the soil, and many of them
will remain a century if they are not re-
moved. The Toronto Globe, in refer
ring to the industry, patience and perse-
verance of the pioneers of Ontario,
says: Ten million acres of fertile land
completely redeemed from the wilder
ness of woods that once covered the
country. and nearly all done since the
beginning of The century. Allowing
200 formidable stumps to the acre. the
clearing, which was nearly all done by
the slow process of olden times, digging,
cutting, roofing up with logging chains
and oxen, represents tremendous
amount of physical strength. A farmer
and three of his boys. kept continually

would require ], 1873, 1873 years to dc
merely the stumping after the tree-fell-
ers had removed the trees. Or if force
of 5000 men were put to work at this
species of industry, the task would re-
quire S05 years for its accomplishment.
More than half, however, of the land
was in hardwood, which rotted in seven
or eight years SO as to require little or
no stumpiug. This reduces the total
stumping work done in the province.
