Milk that stands too long makes
bitter butter.-M. E. Farmer.
In shipping butter the style of pack
age has great deal to do with the
price obtained by the seller.
1t is much easier to keep an animal
fat than to fatten it; hence the stock
should always be kept in good condi-
ton. as they can be then more readily
prepared for market--N. Y. telegram.
Kentucky is said to have the best
country roads to be found in America.
They are made of limestone macadam,
and are described as ''brOad, smooth,
level. white. glistening turnpikes."
-Housekeepers who take their hands
out of hot soap suds, and who frequent
IL run out of doors afterward. need to
have warm mittens for quick putting
on and of. 1t is necessary to keep the
wrists warmly covered. so that the blood
passi ng into the hands shall not be
chilled.-Toronto Globe.
Disorder with farm work and sur
roundings is one of the greatest barriers
to farmers. A multitude of little vexa-
tons would be removed if farmers
would learn to be more tidy and order
ly, and l also believe hundreds of farm
ers' sons have left the farm in conse-
quence of disorderly management

1t is not SO much what a bushel of
corn may be worth on the farm as what
it may contribute that is important.
When converted into beef, butter, lard
or pork it is only more easily transport
ed, but also more readily salable. In
the conversion of corn into concentrat-
ed or higher-priced products, manurial
matter is left on the farm, instead of
being carried away, as would be the
case If the corn were sold in its grain
form-Troy Times.
To make Boston brown bread, mix
well together q cup and a half of yellow

quart pail, cover and set in kettle of

Cup Plum Pudding: Take one cup
each of raisins, currants. flour. bread
crumbs, suet and sugar; stone and cut
the raisins. wash and dry the currants,
chop the suet and mix all the above in
gradients well together; then add two
ounces of cut candied peel and citron,
a little mixed spice, salt and ginger. say
half teaspOonful of each. stir in four
well beaten eggs and milk enough to
make the mixture SO that the spoon will
stand upright in it; tie it loosely in a
cloth or put it in a mould. plunge it into
boiling water and boil for three and q
half hOurs.-BOston GLOBE.
How to Brush the Teeth: This is
matter of no small importance. Most
people brush across the teeth from right
to left. This manner of brushing the
teeth will not remove the accumulation
from between them. but tends rather to
force the debris into the interstices.
The brush should be placed against the
teeth at the gums. and rotated towards
the masticating surfaces. 1t will thus
act somewhat like a bundle of fine
toOth-picks. In order to make the
work effectual, the brush should be APP
piled, as described, both inside and OUT
side the teeth, and also upon the grindl
ing surfaces of the double teeth. TIE
mouth should then be thoroughly rinsfd
with tepid water.-Dr. Gilbert. :
