THE labor OF keeping potatoes free
from weeds late in the season needs to
be done carefully, as not to disturb
the setting tubers. But 1t will pay,

places will still leave some Of the crop.

hog are said to represent only about one
twentieth part Of Its grass weight. An
animal of this nature must necessarily
carry a great deal Of fat, but the i'm

To PRESERVE MILK.-Provide bot
ties, which must be perfectly clean,
sweet, and dry. Draw the milk from
the COW into the bottles, and, as they
are filled, Immediately cork them well
up, and fasten the corks with pack
thread or wire. Then spread a little
straw on the bottom of a boiler, on
which place the bottles with straw be-
tween them, until the boiler contains a
sufficient quantity. Fill 1t up with cold
water, heat the water, and as soon as
1t begins e boil draw the fire, and let
the whole gradually cool. When quite
cold take out the bottles. and pack them
with straw or sawdust in hampers, and
stow them in the coolest part of the
house. 1t is said that milk preserved
in this manner, after being eighteen
months in the bottles. will be as sweet
as when first MIXED from the cow.
