The temperature at which cream should
be churned varies according TO the tenn
pefature Of the air. but the proper num-
Der Of degrees is about sixty. In olden
times. and even in modern days, with
some people. il was the rule for churn-
ing TO go on until butter was found in
great Jumps. That was great fallacy.
\ point is reached in churning beyond
which any further churning brings no
improvement, and that point is when the
butter has reached the size Of small
grains The churning should take from
twenty-five to thirty-five minutes. if it
was much less the butter would not be
in good condition; If the cllurning took
longer L would be spoiled. As TO whether

rtllltr o. sheep on ths rn.,n.

Some one is trying to dispel the pleas
ant faith people have long enjoyed in
regard TO sheep improving q pasture or
farm. The statement that sheep must
eat the same as other stock and that the
substance which goes to make up the
wool and carcass is lost to the soil is true
and evident. but there are many points
of dissimilarity between sheep and cattle
in their feeding in and effect upon pas
ture. With q small daily ration Of grain
sheep will thrive in bushy pasture where
there is very little that other stock would
cat, and will kill out the weeds and bushes
at the same time; and if they do not real
ly enrich the soil on the whole, they will
enrich the poorest spotsof itand win add
TO the value OF the pasture by the value
Of the labor il would take TO kill out the
weeds and bushes and cover the surface
with fine grasses. We have seen a field
which had been used as a pasture for
colts and calves till about one-third of it
was covered with golden rod and black
berry vines changed to a fine grassy
sward in three years by putting in q few
more sheep than it would keep in good
condition. and giving them extra food to
make up the deficiency. And we know
that there are thousands Of acres Of
rough pasture in New England growing
ND TO bushes, where the rocks are too
thick to allow cutting the bushes OF
plowing the land. that might be made
into good dairy pastures in the same way.

Swine are proverbially greedy. but it
is the duty Of the owner of the animal to
control its natural habits when these are
opposed to its well doing, so that the first
thing 10 be done in feeding young pigs is
to measure their feed judiciously. They
should never have all they will eat.
Only fattening swine should be so fed,
and they would soon die from over feed

the kidneys have been overtaxed and

of motion of the hind legs is lost.

Malaria

Literally means bad air. Poisonous germs
arising from low, marshy land, or from
decaying vegetable matter, are breathed
into the lungs, taken up by the blood,
and unless the vital fluid is purified by
the use Of a good medicine like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, the unfortunate victim is
soon overpowered. Even in the more
advanced cases, where the terrible fever
prevails, this successful medicine has eff
fected remarkable cures. Those who are
exposed to malarial OF other poisons
should keep the blood pure by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

seed Corn.

Ii is the usual rule for farmers in saw
ing corn seed to select that most thor
oughly ripened. This. says American
Cultivator. is wise. because it tends to
make the crop earlier, but it is not ne
cessary to make the seed grow that the
corn should be even glazed. Unripe
corn. if thoroughly dried. will shrivel
badly, but it will grow not only as
quickly, but possibly even more so,
than that which has fully matured. It
is easier to select the first ears early in
the season than after harvest. and by
selecting very early the corn may be SO
thoroughly dried before cold weather
that it will be impossible for cold to in
jure it if moisture is kept from it. The
greater dryness of shrunken grains pro-
tects their vitality from being injured.
Otherwise, plump, matured seed should
naturally produce the best results, as it
does with most grains.
