Value Of Skim. Milk.

Some dairymen whose specially is but
ter make practice of selling skinned
milk. 1t is not difficult to realize nearly
as much from the sale of skinned milk
as is got from the butter and with much
less labor than is required in caring for
the cream, churning the butter and work
ing it over, the profit may be greatly in
creased. Curdled milk worked into
balls of cottage cheese sell well almost
everywhere. and at proportionably bet
ter prices than cheese made in factories.
1t is surprising that more farmers do not
60 into this business when milk is plenti-
full. But, except for making into cot
tage cheese, SKINNED milk is worth more
to feed to stock than to SELL 1t might
often be bought with profit at the price
of new milk as an addition to the ration
of young pigs fed exclusively on corn.
The skim-milk contains the elements of
food that 60 to make growth, and in
which corn is deficient. 1t is not neces-
sary nor best to make an exclusive feed of
skim-milk. The farmer who can do this
had better buy or raise more pigs as
quickly as possible. BY giving besides
corn some other grain-as oats-or add
ing fine middlings, little skim milk may
be made to 90 a great way in growing
porkers. Cuuiratcr.

Detecting Children's Ailments.

Most children are subject to attacks OF
some kind; with one child it is summer
complaint, with another it may be
catarrh, with another collie; but little
watchfulness will enable a mother to
detect symptoms of the attack o day or
two before it appears, and dieting, bath
ing, or little judiciously administered
medicine may prevent, and in time cor
rect, the weakness that renders the child
liable to these attacks. The mother
should train her eye to mott changes in
color, or slight languor of movement, or
unusual briliancy of the eyes. Train
her ear to notice irregularity or shortness
of breath, slight ratings of mucus in
the head, throat, or chest, and the
sounds of different coughs, that she may,
as far as possible, apply simple remedies
to the right pla e. Teach her tou h to
be so delicate as to know by the clasp
of the little hand, or the kiss of the
warm lips, whether fever turks in the
veins of her darling. Long before the
child shows illness to the common OBJ
server the true mother has dete ted this
or that slight symptom, and, if a
physician IS called, she is able to greatly
assist him to a,correct diagnosis; she
knows whether the child's skin is usually
moist or dry. cool or warm; whether it
rolls in its sleep or lies quiet. All! how
many q mother owes her child's life to
her close observation of its habits

The Presidents Tailor.

John Brown, of New York, who has
been the tailor of every president, since
Andrew .lohnson's time, went over to
Washington to measure President Cleve-
land for seven new suits of clothes re-
Gently. The orders that the President
gave Mr.. Brown rather surprised the
tailor. He was also somewhat astonished
when MIR. Cleveland exhibited his ward
robe. tits much more elaborate than
Mr.. Brown had expected. Up to the
time of Mr.. Cleveland's marriage four
suits of clothes year were CONSIDERED
abundant for his wants. Mr.. Cleveland's
desire to dress better is; therefore, attrib-
uted to Mrs. Cleveland. Mr.. Brown says
that the President is even a larger man
than he looks. He measures fitty-six
inches around the waist and forty-seven
around the chest. The President said
that he is very fond of a sacque coat, and
would rather wear them than any other,
but he does not appear to advantage IN
any other than a Prince Albert coat.
While the President was very patient
and alfable, he admitted that the process
of getting measured was very tedious
one, and had not Mrs. Cleveland made
him believe that his position as President
demanded it he would wear ready-made
cothing In persuading him to pay more
attention to matters Of dress, Mrs. Cleve.
land argued that person in public po-
sition like her husband, meeting so
many people and continually before the
public gaze, to appear to advantage
should dress differently every day. He
owed this not 80 much to himself as to
the people who come in contact with
him. .-Philadelphia Pres.

GrubbinS Out Trees.

Wherever time is an object in clearing
land no stumps should be allowed. A
stump is unmanageab!e, and if green, is
quite as apt as not, if cut in winter, to
send up suckers, which will keep the
roots alive and prolong the nuisance in
definitely. But tree may be dug around
with compa. atvely little labor. and its
top used as lever to turn its roots up
out of the ground. AS the tree bends,
the roots that adhere in the soil may be
cut with an old axe that need not be very
sharp for that purpose. When it lies on
the ground hitch a team to its top
branches, and twist the body around so
as t. loosen more roots. In this way a
tree of moderate size may be cheaply
grubbed out. When the hole made by
excavating the root is filled, the whole
may be plowed and seeded.

A Pickle Closet.

The thrifty house-keeper-she who
usually receives more or less pity for the
waste of her strength and muscle in
pampering to the appetite of others-cx-
periences, nevertheless, a goodly amount
of pleasure, whose compensation is little
thought of by her pitiers, in the accumu-
lation of her treasures for table use.
Although the idea of sweetments COM
posed of elements impossible to be
guessed delights her inner soul. yet her
chief pride lies in her pickle closet.
There her cucumbers lie green in their
jars, and the red cabbage makes a spot
superb; there are her little picked on
ions, more luscious in their vinegar than
Cleopatra's pearls; there are the brilliant
red peppers, and the peppers stuffed
with mustard seed, and the tiny unripe
melons trephined and filled with infinite
sinai late cucumbers, beans and what
not, and scwed up again, traditions of
all which have been handed down from
many grandmothcrs; there, too, are the
picked walnuts, good only two years
hence, the pickalily bottles, and the
great jars of chow-chow; there are the
glasses of spiced sweet pickle; here are
picked string beans, and hucRleberries,
and cherries, and green grapes in their
punches still; there are the artichokes,
and in fact everything which can resist
the strength Of vinegar, absorb its relish
and convey the stimulus to the weakened
palate. In the sight of all this the
housc-kceper takes exactly as much sat
isfaction as the miser does in the sight
of his gold; and tn ,ugh she hears that
they are naughty, she knows that they
are nice.-Harpcr's Bosar.

Mexican .COMgirls.

AS we neared a neighboring ranch.
saws letter from Mexico to the Roch-
ester Democrat, our glance forsook the
surrounding country to wander after two
herders, man and woman, driving a
herd of cattle across the flat. AS one
little bull determined to 60 back to the
corral, the coyboy went on with the herd,
while the lady gave chase. Round and
round the corral they raced, until, wheel
ing suddenly, she met her victim face to
face. when few sharp cuts from her
rawhide sent him scampering after his
brethren. These cowgirls, when en-
countered by chance on lonely trails, may
be observed riding with foot in each
stirrup, Ia clothes-pin.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Cement to Mend Iron Pots and Pans.

Take two parts OF sulphur and one
part, by weight, of fine black lead; put
the sulphur in an old iron pan, holding
it over the fire until it begins to melt,
then add the lead; stir we'll until all is
mixed and melted; then pour out on an
iron plate or smooth stone. When cool,
break into small pieces. A sufficient
quantity of this compound being placed
upon the crack of the iron pot to be
mended, can be soldered by hot iron in
the same way a tinsmith soldiers his
sheets. If there is small hole in the
pot, drive copper rivet in it, and then
solder over it with this cement. .-Scien-

Scientific Butter-Making.

Mary G. Connell, in the AgTcul!ural Ga
ce.te, thus describes butter making at the
Cheshire Dairy Institute in England:
"As soon as the milk j, drawn from
the COWS it is brought gently to the
dairy, and strained into Il large milk
cooler or vat, after which it is at once
put through the Laval separator, which
is worked by steam power. The cream
is received in large tin vessels, which,
on being full, are Immediately plunged
in cistern of cold water, and brought to
a temperature of sixty degrees, at which
it is desirable that it should be kept to
ripsn; it is generally ready to churn in
two or three days. The churn used is
"Bradford's Diaphragm, (which is driven
by steam, churning about forty pounds
of butter at time. 1t is worked at q
speed of forty five revolutions per minute,
the temperature of the cream being fifty
seven degrees. Churning is generally
completed in thirty five to forty minutes.
A smaller churn is a so used for pupils
who wish to learn to churn by hand.
When the butter appears in very small
particles, about the size of pin-heads, a
quantity of cold water (about four gall
lons), at temperature of about fifty de-
grees, is added, and churning is
continued until the butter appears in
grains about the size of large shot, when
the churn is stopped; the buttermilk is
drawn off through the straincr. When
the grains are firm the butter is never
washed. The butter is then carefully
lifted out of the churn with a wooden
scoop into a small tub while in grains.
After being weighed in bulk upon the
machine, the buttermilk is well pressed
out upon the worker, and a quar-
ter of an ounce of silt added to every
pound of butter, when the butter-worker
is passed over the butter five or six times.
1t is then put away for three hours latter
which it Is again put on the butter
worker and worked until it is seen to be
quite free from Moisture. This is facil-
itated considerably by the buttcr-workcr
being wiped dry with muslin cloth
each time the butter is passed over it.
The butter is then neatly made up into
one-pound rolls, wrapped in greaseproof
paper, and put into cardboard boxes
these are again packed into large wooden
boxes OF twenty-feur pounds each, and
sent to various customers. The butter
made on this system is waxy and close
in texture, clear in color and distinctly
pure N flavor, and keeps we'll and com
mands high price"

RecipeS.

LEMON CREAM.-Boil the thin peal of
two lemons in one pint of cream, strain
and thicken with the well-beaten yolks
of three and the whites of four eggs, into
which half a teacup of white sugar has
been beated. Add half saltspoon of
salt, stir rapidly with the cgg-beater until
nearly cold, and pour it into glasses or
cups. This quantity will fill six good
BOILED HAM.-Soak in water over
night. Next morning wash hard with
coarse cloth or stiff brush, and put on to
boil with plenty of cold water. Allow
quarter of an hour to ca h pound in
cooking, and do not boil too fast. Do
not remove the skin until cold; it will
come off easily and cleanly then, and the
juices are better preserved than when it
is stripped hot. Cut very thin when
carving.
CREAMED RrcE.-This is an excellent
and cheap dessert. Boil cup of rice in
new milk when about half done add the
yellow rind of lemon cut fine and
little grated nutmeg. Sweeten to taste,
and when very thick and tender pour
into small cups; when quite cold turn it
out and pour over it some thick and
sweetened cream or stewed frnit. 1t is
delicious with mixture of currants and
raspberries stewed.
Snow BtRDs.-These little birds make
delicious little morsels when cooked as
follows: When plucked, washed and
cleaned, have some large sized potatoes
peeled, and scoop out the inside with a
blunt knife. Cut a slice from the end so
the potatoes will stand; put bird into
each, head end first; places piece of but
ter into each and bnke in the oven until
the potatoes are done. Serve on hotdish.
CREAMED CoDFIsH-Boil one pint Of
milk, thicken it with one tablespoonful
of butter and one tablespoonful of flour.
The easiest way to mix them is to put
them together in bowl set on top of
the boiling tea. kettle, stir them oc-
casionally, us the butter melts, until they
are smoothly blended, thin with little
of the hot milk, then mix all together,
season all with pepper and add heaping
cupful OF shredded Goldfish. Serve very
hot.
SWEET POTATO SoUFFLE.-SlX me.
dium-sized potatoes, one gill of cream,
one tablespoonful of butter, one tea
spoonful of salt, whites of three eggs, q
pinch of butter. Boil the potatoes till
tender: when done remove the skins and
press the potatoes through a colandcr.
Add the cream. which must he hot, to
the potatoes with the butter, pepper and
salt. Now beat it till it is very light,
and then stir in, gently, the we'll beaten
egg-white. Heap in a baking dish,
brown, and serve.
