GLEARINGS.

NJ. Duclaux, throug NJ. Pasteur,
draws attention to the raDcidity Of
butter. lie demonstrates that the
decomposition of butter, which
takes place so rapidly through
warm weather, is not due at the
commencement to a micrObe, but
to the action of the oxygen of the
air on the butyrine forming butyric
acid, in quantity prOpOrtiOnate to
the prolonged action OF the oxygen.
This does not alter the alimentary
character of the butter, for in the
latter, even the freshest and the
best in quality traces Of that acid
exist. Gradully the accumulation
of the acid imparts an offensive
odOr and dlsagreeable taste to the
butter, when "must" appears, pro.
ducing its special fungi.
1t is well for those who plant
large market orchards, says the
Country Gentleman, to set the trees
out by the hundred, after having
made wise and careful selection
Of sorts and a thorough prepare
ton of the ground. 1t will prove
most cOnI enient to set each kind
in a row, extending across the or
chard, or in two or more rows, so
that in gathering the spring wagon
may be driven directly onward
without turning. For home supply,
the systematic method is less essen
tial; but all new.set orchards, large
or small, should be registered, so
that when the names are lost, they
may be easily restored by referring
to the record.
Clean, fresh, dry dirt should be
plentifully used in the barnyards
and stalls. 1t is not only an excel.
lent disinfectant and absOrbant, but
the animals will use it to wallow in
and clean themselves. The hog
that has access to dry dirt will be
easier to keep, while lice on the
stock and in the stables may be pre-
vented by its use.
The Ncio Eag'aad Farmer ad-
vises that dairy salt and all other

Look OUT for SEED corn Now.


1t is no exaggeratiOn to say that
millions of dollars are lost every
year from planting seed corn that
will not grow. We tested a num-
Der of samples, last spring, of corn
OF our own growing and from some
of the best farmers in the neigh
borhood, and did not find one that
was uniformly good. Some of the
ears from the outside of the crib
would be good, but those from the
inside would be poor. Farmers
would say, 81 know good seed corn
when | see it, and will warrant
this to grow y but on testing it,
more than half the kernels would
not terminate.
The trouble is not due so much
to immaturity as to the careless
method of gathering and keeping
the corn. If the corn is thorough
ly dry when put in the crib, and
afterwards kept dry, the chances
are that it will prove good. The
growers Of seed sweet-corn, the late
varieties of which are exceedingly
difficult to cure properly, build
narrow racks on which the ears are
spread out for several days OF
weeks. There is general impress
sion that corn for seed should be
left growing till it is Thoroughly ma
tured. This is a mistake. Prac-
tlcally it is far safer to cut corn for
seed very early and let it ripen in
the shock, than to run the risk OF
having the curing delayed by the

A BOYS DECISION.

Many years ago Mr.. Hall, an
English gentleman, visited Ireland
for the purpose of taking sketches
of its most beautiful scenery, to be
used in an illustrated work on Ire
land, which has since been publish
ed. On one occasion, when about
to spend a day in the neighbOrhOOd
of Lake Killarney, he met bright
young Irish lad, who offered his
services as guide through the dis
trict. A bargain was made with
him, and the party went OFF. The
lad proved himself we'll acquainted
with all the places of interest III
the neighborhood, and had plenty
of stories to tell about them. lie
did his work well, and to the entire
satisfaction of the visitors. On
their return to the starting point,
Mr.. Hall took a flask of whisky from
his pocket and drank some. Then
he handed it to the boy and asked
him to help himself. To his great
surprise the offer was firmly but
politely declined. Mr.. Hall thought
this very strange. To find an Irish
boy who would not touch or taste
whisky was stranger to HIM than
anything he had seen that day. He
could not understand it, and he re-
solved to try the strength of the
boys temperance principles. He
offered first a shilling, then half a
crown, and then five shillings if he
would taste that whiskey. But the
boy was firm. A real manly heart
was beating under his ragged jack
ct. Mr.. Hall determined to try him
further, so he offered the boy a
golden half-sOvereign if he would
take a drink of the whisky. That
was a coin seldom seen by lads of
this class in those parts. Straight
ening himself up, with look Of
indignation in his face, the boy
pulled out a temperance medal
from the inner pocket Of his jacket,
and holding it bravely up, he said {:
''This was my fathers medal. For
years he was Incorporate. All his
wages were spent in drink. 1t al
most breakes my mothers heart !;
and what hard time she had to
keep the poor children from starv-
ing. At last my father took a
stand. He signed the pledge, and
wore this medal as long as he lived.
On his death.bed he gave it to me.
l promised him l would never drink
intoxicating liquor; and now, sir,
for all the money your honor may
be worth, a hundred times over, |
would not break that promise"
That boys decision about drink
was noble. Yes; and it did do
good, too. AS Mr.. Hall stood there
astonished, he screwed the top on
to his flask, and flung it into the
water of the lake near which they
stood. Then he turned to the lad
and shook him warmly by the hand,
saying as heidi so "My boy, that's
the best temperance lecture l ever
heard. l thank you for it. And
now, by the help of God, | will
never take another drink of intoxi.
eating liquor while I live."-Rer.
