How to Have Good Butter.

Farmers and dairymen are not entire
ly responsible for all the bad butter to
be found in our markets. Much that
would otherwise have reached the con-
sumner in fair condition, says the Prairie
Farmer, is ruined in the groccrs' hands
by being stored in badly ventilated Gel
lars and other places with decayed
vegetables, kerosence, &c. The indis-
eliminating taste of the general public
is also a great hindrance to improvement
in the manufacture of butter. Some
there arc who must have really good
butter, and are willing, if need be, to
pay high price for it; but it has been
rare for an ordinary farmer to meet with
such customers as these.
The general run of the public do not
know high class from inferior butter,
unless the butter is very bad. The
story is well known of the clever grocer
who, when he got in tirkin o. butter,
used to saw it in half and label one half
twenty cents and the other twenty-five
cents; customers tasted -and looked
knowing, and generally came to the con-
clusion that for the sake of five cents
they had better take the best; and five
firkins went off at twenty five cents a
pound for oyery one that was sold at
twenty cents. The fact is, there has
been such quantity of inferior utter
forced on the market that people have
got used to it. The most that can be
said is that some is less bad than Others.
Few know the delicate aroma and nutty
flavor of the best sweet cream butter.
The great majority OF consumers arc
content if they get butter devoid of
strong taste and smell, hence the open
ing TO, butterine, which is free from
bad odor and has no unpleasant taste or
rather very little taste of any kind. But
the remedy lies largely in the hands of
the butter producer. In the first place
every effort should be made to manufac
ture good article, an market it in at
tractivc shape. Secondly, those who
can and do make good butter should
seek market where such products are
appreciated. If the local dealer pays
one price for all butter, regardless Of
quality, the butter-maker should..transfel
his business to some dealer more nearly
abreast with the times. The Zone
price" dealer will thus only get the in.
ferior article, and he will soon change
his policy. When the practice of pay
ing for butter according to quality
becomes general, but little bad butte
will be produced.

Poor CnrlOtta,

The representation of "Juarez," in
Paris, had consequence at the castle of
Tervueren, where the ex-Empress Car
lotta, widow of Emperor Macmillan, is
living. One of the means employed by
her attendants to waken her deadened
faculties, is to show her newspaper in
which her name is mentioned. The
other day, soon after the production Of
"Juarez," a newspaper containing an
account of the performance, was placed
on her work table. The empress took
the journal, ran it over, and began to
repeat "Juarez" several times. Then
she cried: 'There they are, all together,
Macmillan, Juarez, Bazaine Acclaim
ity is going to happen ! Quick, quick,
I must save my husband p The ser
wants and the physicians, called in haste,
were unable to pacify her. 1t was neces-
sary to pack trunks and give orders for
special train; the empress wished to
start off at once, at any price. 1t was
with great difficulty that she was induced
to take cup Of tea, in which calming
potion had been poured. The empress
fell asleep, and on awakening next
morning had forgotten all about the af-
fair. Boston Courier.

A large armful of leaves thrown unde

handful of wheat or corn thrown into

scratch vigorously. They should be col

means of procuring eggs, for nothing will
make hen lay sooner than hard days
work and good meal at night. Scratch.
ing is also an evidence of health and
vigor.
Raise all the COW feed you can on the
farm and buy as little as you can posi-
bly, get along with. Corn should be the
great standby, and get you farm-mill
to grind it in. There is no need fol
grinding it fine. The best experts, in
feeding for large yield of butter, say the
crushed corn makes more milk than fine
grinding. Raise some oats to crush with
it, which is good thing to take the
place of purchased bran.

Tall Girls.

Tall girls are the fashion this season.
Heretofore the little fairy, short girl has
had it all her own way, Lut this year
the 1.-the, willowy, tall girl laughs at her
little sister and wears the wide stripes
and sprawly figures which adon the
new handsome winter dress fabrics, with
an cnviablc feeling that her time has
come. The midget sisters will have to
fall back on plain goods and small
figures of last season, for they will hardly
dare to disfgure their pretty proportions
with the stripes which will take from
their already too short length, or the
huge clusters of blossoms which would
completely obscure their rotundity. A
worse luck is that the stylish coachmans
cape so jaunty to tho tall, slender girl is
absolutely ridiculous on little figure of
four or five feet tall. In these new de-
signs, which average about the size of q
dinncr-plate, the ground colors are pink,
amber, gold, blue and flesh, and the
blossoms are of crimson, pumpkin,
orange, ruby and terra Gotta, in effective
and brilliant contrasts. Detroit Tribune.

Lard may be made perfectly sweet by

In finding places for kitchen utensils,
study every time to placo them where it
will take the least walking to reach
them.
Equal parts Of ammonia aud turpen-
tine will take paint out of clothing, no
matter how dry or hard it may be. Sat
urate the spot two or three times, then
wash out in soap-suds.
Mod can be prevented from forming
on fruit jellies by pouring little paraf-
fine over the top, which, when cold, will
harden to a solid cake, which can be
easily removed when desired.
A plaster cast which has become soiei
may be made as fresh and white as when
new by spreading starch paste over il
with a soft brush. The starch dries,
and in scaling off brings with it all the
Impurities.
To clean hot porcelain kettle, fill

sulphuric acid will remove spots from
brass that will not yield to oxalic acid.
1t may be applied with a brush, but
great care must be taken that no drop
of the acid shall come in contact with
clothes or skin, as it is ruinous to gar.
