JUST LIKE JOHN.

A woman clad in deep mourning went
through the menagarie yesterday, stopping
to admire each of the animals in turn, and
every now and then applying her handker-
chief assiduously to her eyes, says the Bur-
lington Free Press. When she came to the
camel, it was evident that she had come to
stay. She sat down on one of the posts that
held the rope and began to catechise the
attendant.
ssThis is the camel, amt it?"
"Yes'm-and the finest specimen in this
menagerie or in any menagerie in the coun-
try;n yn, .o,,, uo,,, +,.+ ,or,;nds no Of 1obn

of the camel-won't you?"

"Just like John! Het had the longest

"Just like John! He could get more pie

Just then the lion began to roar, and the
woman started on the dead trot to see how
much meat they could eat at one meal.
s'There's one thing I hain't told you about
this animal-the most important of all"
"What's that ?" cried the woman, turning
round in her tracks.
"He can 60 for weeks without drinking a
drop of water"
sJust like Johnw exclaimed the excited
female. "You never saw man"
But the lions began to roar so loud that
her voice was lost to the attendant of the
camel and he forgot all about the little in
cident, until later in the day, when he saw
a female in black in front of the monkeys
cage and heard her explain, by way of COM

WINTER RYE.

Winter rye cannot be soWn any too soon.
If sowed early it is less apt to winter kill !;
it will require less seed, the growth will be
stouter, and production greater, other things
being equal, than if the sowing was defer
red till late in autumn. 1t is sown early to
great advantage, in order to yield green
food for cattle and sheep, particularly the
latter. Rye is capable of being cultivated
on most kinds of land, but the light, sandy
soils, where wheat will not thrive, are the
sorts of soil on which it will generally speak
ing, be found most profitable to raise this
crop. When rye is sown upon light land it
ripens much earlier than on a cold, stiff
ground. Some sow their winter rye at the
hoeing of Indian corn, and hoe it in. This
is good practice, when it is soWn on hat
land, or on rich and heavy soil, where
grain is apt to suffer by the frost of winter;
for the plants of rye will be mostly on the
corn hills, and so will most commonly es-
cape injury from frost, or as many of them
as are necessary to give good crop. The
plants that are killed will be those in the
low space between the hills. The quantity
of seed to be sown on an acre should vary
according to the time of sowing, and the
purposes for which it is intended. If it be
ming of September, and is intended to re-
main for seed crop, the quantity saould
vary from thirty-two to forty-eight quarts,
according to the goodness of the soil. Later
sowing requires more seed, and in some
cases two bushels to an acre will not be too
great quantity, for where the blade, haum
or stalks form the primary objects much
larger proportion of seed is requisite than
when the crop is meant for harvesting.
Winter rye affords the earliest spring food.
It will be ready for feeding by April, and
when young, affords wholesome but rath,
ca laxative food. 1t should be consumed
before it shoots into ear, and dry food is
recommended to be fed with it. Rye is
much infested by very poisonous fungus
called ergot. The poisonous influence of
this fungus extends not only to human be-
ings, but insects settling on it are killed, and
swine and other animals eating it in their
food, die miserably in strong convulsions,
and with mOrtifying ulcers. Ergot of rye
is, however, in the hands of skilful physi-
clan, useful as remedial agent. 1t is chief
ly found where rye grows in damp, adhe-
sive soils. From experiments made to as
certain the proper depth Of planting, it was
found that from one half inch to two inches
is the depth for the seed to germinate., AT
the depth of one-halfinch they appear above
depth in twelve days, and at two inches
deep in eighteen days. The root stalk forms
itself always next below the surface Of the
ground, and if the grain is placed deep it
must first put out its sprouts to the surface
and form it's side branches in nearer con-
nection with the air. We never find that
the sucker roots are arranged from below to
above, but the contrary.-A. II. Ward IN

USEFUL HINTs.-A little water in butter
will prevent it from burning when used for
frying.
A little saltpetre worked into butter that
has become sour and rancid will render it
sWeetand palatable.
Pennyroyal distributed in places frequent
ed by reaches will drive them away.
Five quarts of boiling water poured on a
basket of pearline will make an excellent
soft soap. Let it remain over night to
harden.
Lime sprinkled in fire places during the
summer months is healthful.
Spanish brown, mixed with little water,
will make the hearths look pretty. A
pound costs ten cents and will last two or
three months; use little at a time.
Leaves of parseley, eaten with little vim
egar, will prevent the disagreeable conse-
quences of tainted breath by onions.
Flowers and shrubs should be excluded
from bed chamber.
All paintings hung over the mantelpiece
are liable to wrinkle with the heat.

KILL THE LATE WEEDs.-The fight with
the late weeds in the corn-feld should not
stop with the cultivator. We have frequent
ly seen farmers strive manfully against the
pests until midsummer, and then through
negligence, subject themselves to annoyance
through the next season. Some weeds have
a limited season of growth, and if kept
rooted out until midsummer, will rarely
come up again; others continue growing
until severe frosts come. An old Illinois
farmer said cocklebur would come up in
the morning, grow till four in the afternoon,
and mature seed before the frost could kill it
that night. This is an exaggeration, yet the
cocklebur must be fought until there are
heavy frosts. The velvet-leaf jimson, and
ragweeds, will commence growth almost as
late. Weeds are very prolific, and an occa-
sional one gone to seed in the cornfield, will
insure good crop the next season. Corn
should not be cultivated after it is tassled,
but the weeds can be cut out without dis
turbing the soil. For this purpose we have
seen Short scythe used, but we much pre-
fer hoe with sharp edge.

ERRORS IN BUTTER MAKING.-There
are several prominent errors in making but
ter which are quite common, easily pointed
out and in the main easily remedied. The
greatest obstacle in the way of reform is to
get necessary instruction before those who
commit the errors; to get their attention,
win their confidence by showing them
that the remedy is less laborious and the
grand result is larger and better product,
consequently better price is obtained for
the surplus than is. possible under the old
erroneous method of butter-making.
The errors of butter making are:
l. Uncleanliness.
9. Too much acid in the cream.
3. Casein, or buttermilk, in decomposed
state.
4. Too much friction in churning and
working the butter.
5. Bad salt and too much of it.
Foul milking stables, impure water, odors
from various sources, known and unknown,
are errors vital in their consequences, and
not generally thought of as of any import
ance.
Good sweet milk contains one fourth more
of sugar than it does Of butter this sugar
turns to acid, and if this acid is too much
developed before churning the coveted aro-
ma of good butter is lost Wisconsin Report.
