A ssErewful commentary on the

when we put furs into storage for
the season." said a furrier recently,
"our first care is to beat them thorough
ly with rattans TO drive the dust out,
and get rid of the moth eggs that may
have been laid in them or been blowa
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 OF 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 q dozen times. In oldtimes cam
phor was used; but it has been discov-
cred that il had q 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
huences. Old mn still use that
drug. however; and when you see
q sealskin sack or cloak or
dolman that shows streaks OF
gray or q muddy yellow, you Q
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 q close closet i~mpregnated 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. l
have seen moths flourish in tobacco;
and. where I have seen insect powasT
used, they have sometimes injured the
furs in some way, or hare been totally
useless in guarding them from their
bitter foe.
Another desideratumS 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 q 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.p-Popular Science News.

aaltinR nutter.

A correspondent of the Breeders Ga
3atte says One morning last summer
Eve er three friends met at my dairy.
While there the question was raised
whether butter gained or lost by sailing.
The cream OF the herd was placed in
two ehnrns and ohurned simultaneously.
butter came first in the smaller churn,
e9aEsa grained anti yellow, and was
washed in several waters, worked dry
IA q butter worker, and weighed. 1t
was then sailed, the salt being weighed
IN, me ounce TO the pound, was re-
worked and reweighed. 1t was a strict
ly gilt. edged article, and was imme-
diately packed for shipment. Here are
the weights:
unsalted, well washed dry butter. ....... .1IOB
Sailed and reworked. 49,. .17.03
Loss in ounces. ............... O3
Particular attention is asked to the
other churning, The butter came too
soft, but Of excellent color, and was
treated precisely like the other sample
except that it was too soft to be passed
through the butter-worker, and the salt
was worked In, and the water and brine
apparently thoroughly worked out by
hand:
Unsalted, well-washed soft butter. -. ,28O3L
Sailed and re-worked. ............... 29.O415
Apparent gain.
This sample was too soft for packing
or making into rolls, but to a casual OBJ
server it would seem about as dry as
the other, and to need only cool
ing in order to be marketable. But my
dairywoman at once pronounced if full
of moisture, and insisted that it be put
aside and re. worked the next day. /
therefore took charge of it, and next
morning it was re-worked and Weighed
again, making only 26.084 of strictly
marketable butter.
Here we have an apparent gain in the
first instance of seventeen ounces, but a
final loss from original unsalted weight
of twenty-seven ounces, and from the
extreme sailed weight, while soft, of
forty-four ounces nearly one ounce and
one and a half ounces to the pound re-
spectively. This is a rather extreme
case.
Subsequent experiments led me to
the following conclusions:
LIST. That If the butter is worked un-
washed, or is washed in clear water, it
viii lose by sailing, and the loss will
average from one-half ounce to one
ounce to- the pound.
I'd. That # it is washed in a brine of
moderate strength, it viii gain by salt
ing, seldom, however, as much as one
half ounce to the pound.
Sd. That if washed in a very strong
brine it will gain about the weight Of
the added salt, but will contain quite
too much salt to be a frst-cllss table
butter.

Philadelphia Progress.
II reads almost Like fairy tale, be-
cause such acts Of spontaneous kindness
are rare, and yet it actually happened .
few days since, under ray own OBSERVE
ton in q Chestnut street toy store. a
small, ragged boy, about 8 years old,
stood in the doorway eying wistfuliy 2
large-sized yelocipeae. A sweet-faced
lady in the doorway caught sight Of the
longing In the child's face, and going
up to him asked: Would yo'a iike
very much TO have that velocipede
The boy only looked At her in open
eyed wonder, and In answer to ire RI
peated question stammered Yes" Inc
lady walked up TO the counter, inquired
the price Of Che velocipede, laid down
the money for il, and called to the cn''a
TO come and take the coveted treasure.
The little fellow grasped il boldly y
his arms, almost sobbing for loy, ans
ran out Of the store as fast as he coa'o
with his precious burden.

or good beef drippings, one pint of sour
milk, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved
in a little water; one cup of flour. Add
enough yellow corn-meal, to make 6
stiff batter, not quite as stiff as ordinary
cake. The white corn meal will do,
but it is not quite as good and does not
look like grandma's. In the fruit sea-
son, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and o
pint of blueberries added to the above
makes excellent blueberry cakes.
BrscUITs.-Three pints Of -four, one
tablespoonful of lard, one teaspoonful
Of soda and two of cream tartar, dis

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.


II does not seem probable that the
price OF wheat this year will give any
large margin OF profits 10 the farmer.
The crop In the United States turns out
good enough TO warrant q surplus of at
least l0O,0000OO bushels, or over, and
the latest accounts from Europe give
assurance Of at least an average crop
there. Russia will also have q large
surplus and on August 7th. India had
2l,0OO,0O0 bushels on passage TO the Eu-
ropean markets. Under such circum.
stances II is hopeless TO look for an ad-
vance on present prices; the danger Ia.
Indeed, that they may fall still lower.
The London Miller, In summarizing the
situation, says;
Europe, with nm average crop, and
America, with large export aurplus,
and India, Australia and Russia good
contributors, the future seems likely 10

IL Is not, therefore, probable that the

A wheat crop that averages only fifteen
bushels per acre returns, at $1.00 per
