SETTING MILK.

ANY observant dairyman has found out
that he gets more cream the sooner after
milking the milk is set and le1t undis-
turbed. Milk that is to be shipped, used
for drinking purposes, or sent to the
cheese factory, may with advantage be
stirred in cooling, but for cream getting,
set as soon as possible, and let it be till
you wish to skim it; this is our expert
ence. Mr.. J. N. Muncy, in Farmers
Reciew, puts it this way:
Some of the most practical information
to be derived from the reports of Expert
ment Stations, seems to be long while
in getting fully incorporated in the brain
tissue of some farmers. It is just as GER
tain that you lose a certain quantity OF
the cream contained in milk, by delaying
its setting, as it is that the sun rises in
the morning. Thirty minutes delay
means loss of three to five per cent.
Again, remember that shallow setting. of
milk needs warm temperature, say sixty
degrees, while deep setting needs cold
temperature, say forty degrees or less.
This is no fine spun theory of some igno-
ramus, but settled scientific truth as
certain that you can make ten pounds OF
pork to the bushel of corn under proper
conditions. If you don't believe it, try
the difference in amount of butter OBJ
tanned when the milk is set twelve hours
at fifty degrees and forty degrees respect
lively. Be sure you weigh the butter
under similar conditions, otherwise your
experiment will not be comparative.
Butter holds different quantities of water
under different conditions, and hence you
must be careful to make the test compara-
tive. I'have set my milk the year round
twelve hours, using ice or snow. We use
coolers nineteen inches deep and eight
inches in diameter. As soon as we have
milk enough to fill one Of these pals, I
put it in the water Immediately. It seems
to me that can tell By the appearance of
the skim milk whether the setting of the
milk was delayed or not.

PREPARATION AND CARE OF CUTTINGS.

PREPARATION AND CARE OF CUTTINGS.
1t does not seem to be generally under,
stood, says R. G. Newton, in the Amae,'i-
an Agriculturist, that nearly all varieties
of cuttings can be easily callused or
rooted before it is time to plant them in
the spring. The cuttings are made In
autumn after the leaves fall ,and tied firmly
in little punches of fifty or one hundred
each. Each bundle should be marked
by using two slips of pine, painted on one
side with white lead, or yellow ochre,
and the name distinctly written with a
lead pencil in the fresh paint. This is
covered by the other slip and the two are
tied together with a piece of thread.
This is firmly tied in the bundle and it
Wiz not be necessary to guess at the name
sof the cuttings. They are stored through
the winter either by placing on bed of
moist earth, butt end down, or in a trench
two feet wide and four inches deeper
than the height of the cuttings. The
cuttings are placed compactly in this
fench, butt end up, and covered with
three or four inches of rich garden soil.
When the ground begins to freeze, they
are covered deeply with stable manure,
straw or leaves, putting on enough to
keep the frost from the cuttings. In the
spring this manure is removed, and the
soil over the cuttings leveled. If it gets
dry it is sprinkled with water and kept
moist, but not wet, and when the time
comes to plant them most varieties will
have good roots started, while the buds
are dormant, and when planted they are
more sure to grow than if not so treated.
The trench should be made on ground
where water does not stand. For some
of the choicer varieties of grapes, or other
cuttings wanted early, cold frame
placed over the trench in the spring,
after the manure is taken off, will forward
them several days earlier.

For the past two months we have been placing before our readers each Wednesday a copy of the sermon which Dr Talmage preached the previous Sunday. To-day we have the novel e1- perience of offering our readers copy of the sermon which Dr Talmage wrote but did not preach. The sermon, also an account of the burning of the Brook lyn Tabernacle will be found on the fourth page. We would also call atten- ton to the fact that the Sunday school lesson, international series, for Oct 27 appears on the same page.
 We take occasion to remark that no weekly paper in Berkshire or Litchfield counties presents its subscribers with a better class of reading matter or presents the interesting events of the week in a moro desirable or comprehensive form. We do not allow patent medicine adver- tisements to monopolize the columns of THE NEWS although we might receive a large revenue from that class of adver- tisements. It is our aim to make THE NEWS superior to our exchanges and we trust the public will encourage our efforts by giving us their continued and substantial support. We wish that each subscriber would manifest their appre- citation by influencing their neighbors to accept the Special ofer to be found in the first column on the local page.
