GRAINS FOR CHANGERS.

PRUDENT cultvators will secure pot atOes
and other root crops early. If dug before
the fall rains, and kept dry. potatoes will be
much better for table use than otherwise.
UNIFORMITY can only be obtained by CO
operation among dairy farmers, and by the
adaptation of the same methods of man
ufacture. What is required, then, is CO
operation and education.
THE first point in making cheap pork is
to get the hog to market in the shortest
possible time. The same food makes more
pork in carly fall than in midwinter, for
less Of the food is used TO produce animal
beat.
THE farmer is more tempted to run in
debt than almost any other man, because
deolers are so willing to trust him; his farm
is a good basis for security. and it is prop
erty which can not be hidden or carried
away.
WHERE fallen leaves are abundant and
there is a convenient place near the stables
for storing them, it is quite a good plan to
gather them up and use them for bedding
in the stable. Although compared with
their bulk there is not large amount of
substance in them, whatever there is makes
a very superior fertilizer.
Ii winter, no matter how severe the cold,
the safety of vines may be insured by lay
ing them down in the fall and slightly COW
ering with earth. This protection is more
easily given the grapevine than to any
other fruit tree. 1t is au advantage, even
if the winter is not cold enough to kill.
THE frequent failure of red clover of late
compels farmers to look for a substitute for
pasture. Nothing better than rye. Sow it
after wheat, early potatoes, or oats. 1t
gives late feed and early feed. Land in-
tended for corn next year VIII afford two
months pasture in the fall and one month
in the spring and a green crop to turn
under-better than weeds.
WHEN potatoes are ripe, the proper time
to dig them IS while the ground is dry.
They are then handled with more ease and
satisfaction that when the ground is so
moist that the soil adheres to the tubers.
They are best left on the ground in pits, and
covered with hay and earth enough TO keep
out the rain and removed to the cellar or
the approach of cold weather.
THE milk temperament is born with a
cow You may increase the butter yield by
making her give more milk, but the relative
proposition of solids will not be greatly
changed. On the other hand, a certain line
Of feeding will put water into cows milk

diet, but this don't pay, as water in milk

THERE is one thing to impress upon the
fathers of the boys about gong to the fairs.
Tell them all you know about ali the petty
swindles that hang around the outskirts of
the fair. Tell them it is cheaper to buy a
cane than to pitch for it, that the three card
monte man does not throw the cards he is
looking at but others under them. That no
one can tell which horse viii win, or there
would be no fun in rasing.

SkIM-MIIK CHEESE.
An Old Time Recipe Which Is as Good To.
day as Ever IT Was.

An Old Time Recipe Which Is as Good To.
day as Ever II Was.
Some forty years ago an old lady in
Tinmouth, Vt, gave me recipe for
making skinned cheese, which was
made in large quantities in that vicini-
ty and shipped to Boston long before
that time when transportation was usu-
ally performed by four-hOrse teams.
Those SKINNED cheese sold there for
the same price as whOle-milk cheese.
They were ready for market any time
after twb weeks old, and were made,
as nearly as ! can recOllect, after the
following formula: The milk after be-
ing SKINNED should be warmed tc
within about eight degrees of the tenn
per lture for whole cheese, and enough
rennet used to cause it to commence
cOagulating in about fifteen minutes.
1t should be stirred constantly from the
time the rennet is put in until ready to
whey off Previous to setting the milk
for cheese the cream should be
churned and the buttermilk should
be raised to the same tempera-
added to it as soon as the latter COM
mences to show the caseine and stirred
constantly until ready 10 scald, which
should b about six degrees less than
for whole cheese. Annatto or some
other coloring matter should be used
20 give it a rich color Carrots were
used in those days., and about one
ounce of saltpeter to make the curd
tender TO Il 81 or 40-pound cheese. In
case part OF the milk has soured a lit
tie, little saleratus or soda should be
used to sweeten il. A little less salt
should be used than for new milk
cheese; otherwise the cheese will be
hard. Cheese made in this way should
be used when about three weeks old;
then they are fun ripe, soft and de-
licious, and in those days the best
judges could not distinguish any diff
ference in the quality. if a three-weeks
skim were tested with a six-weeks new
cheese.

COSTLY ALUMINIUM.
Some Interesting Things About IL and
Its Production.


Its Production.
Aluminium, as the discoverer spelt it,
or aluminium, as it is often carelessly
expensive elements, vastly overrated.
1t furnishes very rapidly, only, the
rust being white, 1t is not very often
sive. 1t can not be used for any thing
where it comes IN contact with salt; q
"a pot of aluminium would be perfor-
ated by the salt of common soup if only
used for a few months; spoons would
be rough and perforated in the space
of a year; nothing exposed to salt air
or water could be made of aluminium.
When pure, its greatest tensile strength
is only little more than that Of Ordi-
nary zinc. that is, only about one-half
that of steel. Its hardness is about
that of soft copper, and it is just about
as nasty TO turn, file and
drill as copper, without having
the strength, pliability and
malleability OF copper. Its conductive
power for electricity for the same
weight is that of copper. hence tele-
graph and telephone wires might be
made OF it, if both have the same
price, sixteen cents per pound. Its
peculiar chemical properties preclude
the use of soft solder with the usual
soldering fluids; it can be soldered,
but at the points of contact and solder
aluminium becomes very weak and
unreliable. Its peculiar melting point
(six hundred deg. O. precludes the
use of hard solder (melting point sew
on hundred deg @. 1t is very sensi-
tive to impurities. Half of one per
cent. of silicon, or iron, renders it as
brittle as pottery ware.
As clay banks contain about alumni
MUM eleven per cent, iron four per
cent, the balance being water and
oxygen. it may be seen by any chem
list, considering the chemical proper
ties of the impurities, that aluminium
can not be isolated pure from common
clay for less than two dollars pound.
this being the lowest price of the chem
ic0ls needed, vessels, coal, etc, for
This purpose. If only as much as one
eighth of one per cent of silicon re-
mains, it can not be rolled and drawn
into wire, but silicon and aluminium
are very hard to separate completely.
There is no market TO speak of for
aluminium at two dollars a pound.
Most of the aluminium now used is
beaten into white foil and used for
silvcring sign letters, etc. 1t is used
for opera glasses, galvanic needle Il
Gators and few scientific purposes. 1t
has been a source of great revenue to
the chemical credulity and mysticism
upon moneyed nOn-chemists; probably
fifty companies are existing in the
United States by which some sharp
witted chemist obtains living and the
inventors large amount of hope at
first, but considerable experience later.
| do not believe that one pound of
aluminium has yet been made in the
United States that has not cost the
maker at least five hundred dollars.
The only factories are in France, and
if they sell it for fifteen dollars pound
it certainly costs them fourteen dollars
10 make and sell it. Beware OF alum
