The publication OF a pamphlet in ST
Petersburg containing an intimation that
Hungary will become a Russian province
seems to have aroused the Hungarian press
after the manner in which a red flag faunt'

feeling there is said to have reached the
fighting pitch. Enough bad feeling has
been engendered already to diminish the
prospects OF peace to the lowest ebb.

sent them are bought up as quickly as they
are placed on their counters and that they

tiles are apprehensive that the steel used

A man working on the Huntington
bridge across the Ohio, near the foot of
Central avenue, was standing on one OF
the piers at least twenty feet above the
water. All around the base of the pier
were broken stone, driven piles and all
sorts of debris, on which a falling body
would be dashed to pieces. Nowhere about
the pier was there any deep water, save
in narrow hole, the upper part of which
had an area Of not more than four by six
feet. While the man stood upon the ed &c
of the pier, unknown to him, a huge stone,
suspended from derrick, was being
swung toward him into its place. 1t

FARM DAIRY HINTS.
Various Ways of Avoiding Salt Crystal
on Butter.

on Butter.
When an ounce of salt is evenly
distributed through pound of butter
well charged with water, the salt in
due time will draw the water to itself
and form quantity of brine, which
will be greater or less according to
the per cent. of water present If the
butter, after being properly worked,
is kept at the same temperature at
which the making and working are
done, little or nothing will be seen of
salt on its surface, but if it is set in
some place like cool and dry cellar,
where its temperature will slowly
fall, the butter will shrink as it cools
and slowly squeeze the brine out upon
the surface. Then dry air will take
up the moisture from the brine and
leave the salt to incrust the butter.
This is the most eifyctual way to bring
about such aresult
If the butter is cooled quickly after
having stood long enough TO have the
salt take up its water as when put IN
cold storage, il will shrink rapidly and
crowd the brine to the surface so much
faster than its moisture can dry away,
that it will collect in drops and trickle
down to find Judgement in
the space made vacant by the butter
shrinking away fro, the sides OF the
package that contains it. This leaves
the surface cleared of crystalized
salt, or very nearly so.
Another way for preventing the lia-
bility of crystals of salt from gather
ing on the surface of butteris to gather
the butter in the churn in granulcs the
size of grains of rice, and after wash
inc off the buttermilk let the butter
lie in a saturated brine for an hour or
SO. By reason of the very large extent
of surface exposed 10 contact with
brine, the water will be so ctfectually
drawn out of the butter that when it
has been firmly pressed into a solid
mass the brine will escape tn oroughly
and there will not be enough left to
make any show of salt upon the sur
face of the butter, even when rapidly
cooled. Simply granulating the but
ter and sailing and pressing il in'o
solid form, as soon as it is worked,
will rot prevent salt from forming on
its ,r!aco when slowly cool 'd.
Another method which is absolutely
sure is t, keep the butter covered with
brine til y "Rtcd for use or sale

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Bran is concentrated food,
which, though variable in composition
possesses high nutrilive value.
Onions are not of the things that
like warmth in the winter; Il ste adily
frozen condition suits them better
Harrow the wheat lands as long as
possible; this makes firm seed-beds,
which are abomnated by chinch bugs.
If farm can pay no more than
legal interest, how can buyer who
has to borrow the whole price expect
to meet the debts at last?
Shovel some dry earth into the
horse and cattle stalls every now and
again. 1t absorbs surplus moisture,
and is good disinfectant
Clean the grass and other vegeta-
Bile matter away from the applet tree
roots, so that the mice can not find
a hiding place there to gnaw the bark
Wheat straw, cut fine and moist
ened with water slightly salted, then
sprinkled with cornmeal, will be eaten
by sheep, and will answer for them if
they be also fed literally on grain.
-Dakota's wheat is all of the spring
variety. and therefore the farmer is
not subjected to the danger of losing
his crop by winter.killing, and it is
said damage to the crop by rust. Hes

Cured in the history of the Territory.
AS population increases farms
must decrease in siz', and of course
the acreage yield must advance TO keep
pace with the enlarged number of
eaters. The tendency of the whole art
in science of agriculture, then, is to-
ward reduced areas and larger crops.
Wheat bran may now be literally
used in feeding animals to special ad-
vantage, because in addition to being
rich in bone and muscle forming prop
critics, bran in the form of mash is
laxative. and tends to keep the bowels
in healthy condition at time when
the use of dry grains and fodder has
constipating tendency.
During very cold weather, says a
horseman, "the bit should never be
put in a horses mouth until it has
been dipped into water to take out
the frost. If you touch your tongue
to q piece of iron or steel that has been
exposed to q low temperature, You will
see the reason, for you can't take
your tongue away without leaving its
skin behind it..

but trifing sum, yetwill add greatly
to the warmth and comfort of the ami
mails. 1t will stop up the cracks and
creyices, which are usually the sources
of too much cold air entering. The
paper can be easily applied by tacking
it in place. or it may be held in posi-
ton by mailing laths up and down over
it,
Wood ashes are excellent for the
hens to scratch in and pick over, as
they contain bits of charcoal and other
materials, but for the dust bath the coal
ashes are the best. The coarser por-
tions, however, may be thrown where
the hens can get at them, so as to pro-
vide gritty material in cold weather.
On the henhouse floor. or under the
roost, fine coal ashes provide an excel
lent absorbent and prevent loss of the
droppings. Wood ashes, being aka
line, sometimes cause sores on the hens
when used for dusting.
