The country Gentleman, upon the
subject of bitter cream. gives the fol-
lowing as some Of the more important
causes
Ragweed in the pasture. This is a
frequent cause just now, when cows are
fed in stubble or moving lands. The
flavor given by ragweed is disagree
able, intense bitter, quite different
from that caused by fermentation of
the milk.
Mildew, but especially the red, spot
ted mildew, which forms upon the
cream in damp cellars, and appears in
spots about the size of split pea
This is caused by the impregnation of
the cellar with spores of the mildew,
and is very difficult to get rid of. The
only way have succeeded in doing it
is by burning sulphur in the cellar,
which is kept tightly closed for con-
siderable time until the walls are sat
urated with it, and afterwards by
keeping the air dry 10y means of box
of freshly-burned lime kept in it until
it is air-slaked
Keeping the milk too long without
Swimming, until the whey separates.
and the cream too long without churn-
ing. Thirty-siX hours is long enough
for either, which makes the cream
three days old when it is churned.
Imperfect cleaning of the milk pals,
of the churn, and leaving curd in the
seams or corners. Putrid caseine has
bitter flavor and very rapidly com
municates the same tomilk and cream,
the cream appropriating nearly the
whole of it.
The farrow condition of the COW or
her advanced state of pregnancy will
cause JnlS tTOUOlP.
Sometimes the addition of as much
powdered saltpeter as will lie on a
silver three cent piece, or about five
grains to six-quart pan of milk, will
prevent the bitterness, and to give the
COW dose of two drains a day for a

found two grains of salicylate of soda
to four quarts Of milk viii prevent
mold even in musty cellar. But |
am inclined to think that at this sea
son the cause of it, nine times out of
ten, is in the feed, especially If it is
aftermath or stubble grass. In this
case the remedy is obvious.

The American consul at EIbcrfcnd,
Germany, sends u report to the state de.
partment, Washington, referring tt
trichiniosis, 1t appears from official
sources that there were no less than 400
cases in the district of Magactourg dur
ing the latter part of 1884, OF which
siXty-siX proved fatal The malady, nc
Cordihg TO this official authority, was
mainly due to the eating bymany persona
of portions of one diseased pi4, born,
fed and slaughtered in Germany Official
inquiry showed that in the cases where
disease ensued the meat had been eaten
law; in other cnses where the meat of
the same animal had been eaten after
being well cooked the parties were unaf,
fected by it. The subject of cooking the
meat being thus brought up the project
of police published all the details in .
Berlin newspaper aud gave special in.
structions in regard to cooking. He
advises, to secure exemption from risk,
that missions be made few inches apart
over the entire piece of meat before boil
ing or roasting,

We read in the Photographic Time.
that at the recent convention of the Pho,
tographcrs' association of America, il
Buffalo, an informal gathering of some
of the members took place at the back
of the arsenal, in which the meetings,
were held, and some group photographs
were obtained. One was taken at the
moment when number OF the members,
according to request made, threw thei
hats high in the air with view of pro.
viding a est for the rapidity with which
the exposure was to be made. 1t was SC
successful that, in the photograph, these
hats are to be seen at every stage of ele'
walton. The evidence OF the instantaneity
of the exposure is to be found in tho
fact of the numerous hats in mid lair
when examined by a magnifying glass,
being as sharp and full Of detail as those
which still occupied their normal posi-
tions on tho heads Of their respective
owners

Speaking of cremation the New York
Tribune says "Thc time required for the
reduction OF a human body to ashes by
this process depends, of course, entirely
upon the heat. At n temperature OF
$500 degrees thirty minutes are allowed
for every 100 pounds. An ordinary
body would thus be cremated in about
three quarters of an hour The soap,
stone bed is then withdrawn and thu
ashes are collected and placed in an urn.
If cremation ever becomes the recog.
nized manner of disposing Of tho dead,
the process can be shortened by the use
of hotter fire. 1t is estimated that
there are about three pounds of mineral
ash to every 100 pounds Of flesh, blood
and bones in the human frame. These
figures vary however, with the physi'
cal build of the subject. The bones
contain most of the mineral matter,
Stout men will, therefore, leave less
ashes in proportion to their weight thar
thin and bony persons"

Household Hints.

Fruit stains upon the hands may be
removed by rubbing with the juice of
ripe tomatoes
Starched shirts will iron easier if
you let them dry after Starching 50 you
will have to sprinkle them before
ironing
The wings of turkeys, geese and
chickens are good to wash and clean
windows, as they leave no dust or lint,
as cloth.
To brighten the inside Of a coffee or
teapot, fill with water, add a small
piece of soap, and let it boil about
forty-Gve minutes.
To remove grease from wall paper
lay several folds of botting paper on
the spot and hold q hot iron near it
until the grease is absorbed.
To set colors in blue cambria, dip it
into solution of saltpetre, using two
or three cents worth to a pailful Of
water. Salt will injure the fabric.
Lemons are very cheap luxury for
those living near cities. or having easy
access to rapid transportation, and can
be kept fresh for months by putting
them into clean, tight jar or cask,
and covering them with cold water.
Keep in cool place, out of the reach
of sunlight, and change the water
often. not less than every third day;
every second day is better. Lemons
are excellent for winter use, or il one
is bilious or inclined to rheumatism.

pest. The Partisan may prepare the

best The Partisan may prepare the
best ball dresses or tea gown, but no
one can cut out shooting jacket like
the English man millner. Neatness is
his great point, Everything he makes
is solid and good. If there is braid
ing it is automatically correct; if
there is fur it is the finest of its kind.
His frogs and olivets are by no means
the work of lively fancy; there are
genuine limitations Of the badges Of
different regiments. There is no
skimping in his designs; everything is
stylish, but ample. The man milliner
lives in an atmosphere of dreams and
beauty. lie is surrounded with ahalo
of scents and satins. His manner is
marked by pervadiug gentleness; he
only becomes enthusiastic when de-
scribing a costume. With few vivid
touches he can bring it all before you,
and indicates the hip drapery with
such appropriate action that it is diff
cult at these moments not to imagine
him in a skirt. The woman dress
maker has one great, though not I'M
natural fault, and it causes some suf-
fering to her customers-she considers
her own figure as the standard of fe-
male perfection, and she endeavOrs to
assimilate that of her customers to it.
The man milliner's sternest comments
are less unpalatable than the fendish
innuendoes of a lady milliner. Bad or
good, however, he is but a fashion of
the day, and will probably pass with

If the report came from the West, il
would BIO considered playful stroke Of
fancy, but London Nature is authority
for the declaration that "the cells of the
ponds in the woods OF Vincennes leave
the ponds every spring in large numbers,
making their way to the Seine or the
Marine, several kilometers distant. They
take advantage of rainy weather, when
the heritage is wet, and their instinct
guidesthem directly to their destination. y
And such emigration by cells and Other
fishes is not uncommon elsewhere, Ma
ture says. "Thus in the marshes OF
Picsrdy cells are often found on the gras,
going from one pond to another"

One of the curiosities Of newspaper
literature is the ever increasing size o.
its snakes. The rattlesnake has growr
with irresistible perSistency during the
last fifteen years. Last year, in Pike
county, Pennsylvania, he led the ana
conda by triie. This year he is still
considerably larger. A young lady il
Missouri, flushed with dancing, stepped
upon vine covered vcranda. A bird
cage hung amid the vines. She tapped
lightly upon the wires, wishing to at
tract the attention of the inmate. A:
she did 30 an enormous rattlcsnak,
encircled her wrist and glided down hcl
arm. She fell in swoon. The snake
Coiled himself upon her bosom, and
sounded his rattle: but he did not strike
Just then the dance music broke forth
in the livelicst strains; the snake pauaod,
listened, unwound himself and glidcd
peacefully away in its direction. The
young lady was not stung, but she dit
not escape serious injury. Three of hel
ribs were broken by the enormous weight
of the reptile, and she certainly would
have been crushed TO death had the music
not drawn him so speedily away!

A Tornado Year.

In 1884 172 tornadoes were recorded
by the signal-service bureau. They
were more frequent in July than at
any other time, but January was the
only month of the year that was en-
tirely free from them. Every section
o; tue United States was visited except
New England and the region west of
the summit of the rocky mountains. In
% instances, the width of the tornado
path varied from rs to $3.50 feet, the
average being 1,037 feet; and in 81
eases the length varied from 2 to 130
miles, the average being Sc miles. The
storms moved forward at an average
rate of AZ miles an hour, the rotations
OF the invitabic funnel-shaped cloud
being accomplished, OF course, at a
greater velocity. The direction of the
cyclones course is usually northeast.
It's time is more frequently from to
$50 o'clock in the afternoon, rarely as
early as 3, although not uncommonIy
as late as 1880 or in the evening, and
sometimes even later. G0StoR Caltt-

Wanted Elizabeth, Anyway.

Her affections center upon doll
whose name-the longest her tongue
could frame at the time it was bestow-
eds Elizabeth. For some misde-
meanor OF unusual gravity this young
lady was sent to bed at an early hour,
and in the woe attending the infiction
OF this punishment she forgot to take
with her the cherished Elizabeth to
share her couch. Realizing her desc
lation she summoned her mother by
calls from the chamber:
Mammal! | want Elizabeth. Please
bring Elizabeth up to mel
This mitigation Of the penalty was
denied; but the demand was repeated,
each refusal being followed by yet
more petulaut request. until finally
there came a suggestion OF the last re-
sort of maternal discipline;
Nellie, | am afraid shall have to
come up and punish you.
Quick came the response, punctuat-
ed with sobs:
''Well. when you come up, please
bring Elizabeth" - LostOn Record.
