PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER.

IN sS % &sy ST sncrc Ssis' IS nothing lot Better
than large, well glazed crooks, with
covers close fitting, and glazed inside as
we'll as outside. Glazing on the inside
of the covers is often neglected, and
when it is, the porous earthen, which is
powerful absorbent, soon becomes
loaded with foul matter that gives off
bad odors and spoils whatever the crock
may contain. The packing should be
solid and the butter reach to one inch of
the top of the crock, and the butter COW
cred with the bleached muslin free from
any starch or sizing. The jar should
then be filled with all the salt it will
hold and snugly pressed down. Then
turn on little pure water, just enough
to rise to one-half the depth of the salt
and no higher. Brine on the butter
with dry salt on top makes a better pro-
lection than all brine or all dry salt.
Then cover as closely as possible and
sec IN cool, dry celiar--not on the
ground, but up little from the
ground-and if the butter is all right
when it is packed it may reasonably be
expected to be sound next winter. In a
larger way 100-pound white oak firkins,
after being thoroughly cleaned of sap
and all liability to imparting woody
favor by soaking in boiling water, may
be used in the same way as crocks.-

EXTRACTED OR COME HONEY.

The greatest yield of honey can be OBJ
tanned by extracting, as it can be cx-
tracted from the combs without awaiting
their sealing up. 1t seems to take the
bees about as long to seal over the combs
as to fill them with honey. We can,
therefore, get double the number of
pounds of extracted honey that we can
of comb. Beside keeping the combs
emptied of their contents, there is the
additional advantage of keeping the bees
working right along filling the combs.
Bees thus treated are not so liable to
swarm, as they have .st -2ll timss abun.
true we may give them large surplus
room, but when this is filled with comb
honey it is not completed. Several days
are necessary to ripen the honey and seal
the cells. With limited storage they
make preparations to swarm, and then
plentiful storage room will not preventit
Of the two methods of producing honey,
comb and extracted, the latter does not
require more than half the labor. 1t has
been said that extracted honey does not
bring as high price. But in the ma
jority of cases the apiarist is making
moro money from extracted honey, Be
cause he is producing three or more
pounds to one. True, there are few
specialists who make the raising of comb
honey study, and those probably re-
ceive the greatest profits. But the masses
find much difficulty in producing comb
honey, when they can easily produce
large crops of extracted. To succeed
properly in raising profitable crops of
honey requires the greatest skill and study
of anything connected with the apiary
1t is beginning at the wrong end to raise
comb honey first, instead of the more
simple and easy method of using the ex.
tractor.-American Agicunurist.

An Engineer aud Two Firemen

"A fatal wreck occurred about eleven

ersburg branch OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, near Petroleum, w. Va. Three
men were killed, one fatally injured, aud
others badly hurt.
The wreck was the result Of o collision be
tween two trains-one west bound and the
other going east. Tho former was the Park

or tenon in crosswise, one piece ut each
end, and eight inches from the ends of
the runners, and place the others so rs to
support floor in one-half Of the pen.
Adjust these strips so they will set about
two inches below the level of the upper
edge of the runners, then lay a floor of
ash or oak lumber one inch thick over
onc-half Of the pen, leaving the other
half a dirt floor. This, however, may be
arranged as may suit best; onc-half may
be left, or, If desirable, the whole pen
may have floor. Now mortise in two
by-four scantling at each corner and mid
way for posts on which to nail the boards
or stats for the enclosing. 1t is necessary
for comfort that Mt least one-half of the
pen be covered; and for this reason make
the posts for the siding about one foot
longer on one side than the other, so as
to give some slope to the roof. The roof
ought to be elevated enough to allow q
man to walk under it. If only one-half
of the pen is floored, there must be a
partition across, and in this arrange a
slide door so as to shut the hogs i'm or
out of either section, and the pen is
complete.
If hogs are wanted to fatten surely
and quickly, they must be confined to
close, clean quarters, and that is the de-
sign of this pen. 1t can be moved easily
from one place to another, and thus be
entirely free from accumulations of filth.
BY hitching a span of horses to the end
of it, it can be readily moved anywhere
with the hogs in it. In case one-half is
left unfoored, the hogs can be shut in

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD WALK.

Farmers, as q rule, do not spend enough
time in making and improving walks in
front of and around their homes. A good
walk in the winter time is a necessity for
comfort. One does not like to step out
of doors into several inches of mud, nor
is it much more satisfactory to have
boards slipping and sliding from under
your feet. Asphalt walks are so cheap
that most farmers can afford to have one
running around the house and leading to
the principal out-buildings. To make q
sound walk, cheap to make and maintain
and alike in all weather, select stone of
flinty nature and burn it before putting
it on the walk. This can be easily done
with charcoal. After the stones are
burnt sift them into two sizes, one for
the foundation of the walk and the other
for the top. Then mix the stones with
boiling coal tar. The foundation of the
walk should be prepared beforehand and
made perfectly solid and not liable to sink.
The larger stone, mixed with the tar,
should be laid on first to a depth of about
two inches. Then roll thoroughly, going
over all of it several times. Then lay on
the finer coating about an inch in thick
ness. Sprinkle the surface over with
coarse grit, crushed shell or spar, and
roll once more. To prevent the sides
from crumbling edgings of wood, tile or
bricks should be made. One should not
forget to burn the stones before mixing
them with the tar, as this is one of the
most important features Of a good, solid
walk. The only work to maintain the
walk then is annually to brush hot tar
over the surface, sprinkle on it some grit
and roll it as before. No kind of walk
will last longer prove more satisfactory
for country home than such one de-
scribed. Weeds will have no chance to
grow up in it. Washington Star.

The Russian Cavalry.

The material of the Russian cavalry
relatively to that Of the German army still
leaves much to be desired, SAYS writer
in the Mkitarisches Wochen5latt. Though,
according to census returns, the number
of horses actually existing in the country
reaches the imposing total of 90, ,OOO, 900,
yet eighty six per cent. of these are under
sized village ponies unsuited for military
purposes; and of the remaining 4, 600, 900,
which are for the most part reared in
breeding establishments, 1864 of which
exist scattered about the empire, many
in the steppc, only eighteen per cent.
breed riding horses, the remainder only
drauSht animals. These stud breds hardly
suffice to meet the requirements of the
officers and Of the guard regiments, and
the latter are being compelled more and
more to have recourse to the horses com
ing from the south, to so.called elm
proved" country breds, which also sup
ply the needs of the line cavalry almost
entirely. These animals possess consid-
cradle endurance, but are not well shaped
for cavalry purposes, and owing to their
badly seton heads and necks, the narrow
ness between the cheek bones, and their
deficient quarters, it is difficult to teach
them proper galop; and these defects
are even more conspicuous in the Cossack
horse, which is yearly detenorating.
Nevertheless, and in spite of the unprom-
ising nature of the material, the attempt
is made to attain the same proficiency in
the oldfashioned manege traditions as
was formerly achieved with better stock
and longer service.

1T IS A INDUSTRIOUS EVIL.

The evils of intemperance are so manifest
and so monstrous that the State is compelled
torecognize them, and to take action against
them in its own defense. The State Is con-
cerned in the welfare not only Of its own
communities, but OF every family and indi-
vidual under its dominion. The influences
which tend to undermine health and shorten
life, to cripple labor and prevent thrift, to
produce paupers and increase criminals, aro
clearly hostile to the State, and it Is the duty
sacred as that Of it's most honored citizen,
and the State is under obligation to provide
all possible safeguards not only against all
attempts to destroy it, but against all cpl.
denies and plaques and sources of disease.
The State has the same solicitude for tho
moral welfare Of the citizen. In short tho
State ,n not only has tho power to provide & for
and tho public morals but It can
not, as we have already shown
by citations from decisions of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, 'divest ITSELF Of
that power. The very purpose for which
government is organized Is to exercise it.
The State in its care for tho public health
prohibits the sale OF impure and unwhole-
some articles OF food. Unripe or decayed
fruit, diseased meat adulterated milk, are
seized and destroyed and the dealers punished.
The sale Of articles dangerous to life or limb
or health Is regulated or prohibited. Boards
of health arc established to investigate COM
mon sources of disease, and to abate them as
nuisances, and may exercise extraordinary
powers in the prevention or suppression of
contagious diseases. The necessity for pre-
serving tho public health is go clearly rccog-
nized under our Government that the States
may, despite the constitutional rightOf, Con-
gress exclusively to regulate interstate CON-
merce, prevent the importation Of infected
articles and establish quarantine regulation.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Arrange to avoid land washing as
much as possible.
Ducks when properly haudled pay
even better than chickens.
When you wean the lambs give them
a rich grass or clover pasture.
The farmer is harvesting his wheat
and oats. The hens will help him clean
up stray grain.
Land plaster is cheap absorbent,
and renders the stable much purer and
the manure much moro valuable.
Lice and kerosene oil fail to harmon,
ize. II you notice the former apply The
latter vigorously over roosts and nests.
There is no advantage in sowing the
seed unless there is sufficient moisture in
the soil to induce quick termination.
Get ready for early lambs. Oxford or
Southdown make a good cross. What
ever breed you use, it will pay to usc
pure bred ram.
A seed bed three inches deep, made
thoroughly. fine, will be much better
than six inches of loose soil not thor
oughly prepared.
Incubators are now made so perfect
| that even the hens look on them with
wonder and amazcmcnt. Pretty hard to
lose ones trade, isn't it.
The time for sowing must be de-
termined by the season, the condition
of the soil, and the danger from grass
hoppers, flies and chiuch bugs.
DO not invest too largely in new, un-
tried varieties. There is no harm in test
ing them on small scale, but use a
standard variety for the main crop.
Be sure that the seed wheat does not
contain cheat, rye, cookie, or other fine
seeds. There Is usually sufficient
The custom followed by great many
farmers of using a spring pig in November
and December to sire their next spring
crop of pigs is not to be commended.
The day of stockers, kept on the farm
as such, Is gone by, or at least should be I;
from the teat to the shamblcs every pig
should he considered fa.te2:n5 animal. animal
To produce good wool, the sheep must
have the proper food. There is no better
hay than clover for sheep, and no better
grain than oats and bran with little oil
| meal.
Poultry culture is one of the most
healthy employments that any one can
be engaged in. If you want exercise
and pleasure combined, try flock of nice
fowls.
The quantity of seed should be gagged
by the time Of sowing, the fertility and
condition of the soil and the quality of
the seed used, as well as the way it is
sown.
Corn land that has been we'll cultiva-
ted during the growing season can often
be properly fitted for wheat without
plowing, if care be taken to harrow
thoroughly.
Owners of horses and cattle are realiz-
ing more than ever before the necessity
of keeping their stalls clean and healthy.
Land plaster makes one of the very best
absorbents.
Don't forget the calves during hot
weather. They would like the privilege
of having drink of water once in a
while through the day, as well as milk
night and morning.

HORSES TEETH NEED CARE,

Horses teeth, from the day of foaling
to tottering old age receive by far too
little attention. Many foals give up quite
discouraged, because they cannot pro-
duce sufficient suction to cause q flow of
milk, and this from the fact that their
nippers are not yet through and their
gums are consequently too tender to bear
the pressure. Lancing, or generally,
simply passing the thumb across the
gums with sufficient pressure to cause
slight abrasion is enough to set matters
right. National Horse Breeder.
