Never mix sour buttermilk with sweet
cream. II you do 1t win impart a butter
milk taste to the cream, thus injuring the
flavor OF the butter.
Salt is equally as good as brine for keep
ing butter. Exclude the air. II you are
going to pack butter to keep, pack it
solidly. Experiments with butter sub
merged in brine resulted in spoiled butter.
Cows viii make more butter by setting
their milk separate, and churning the
cream separate, but In the practical dairy
mans operations 1t will hardly pay to make
the separation. It will not make much
difference, unless there is a mixture of
breeds Of cows.
1t is always best to churn when you
have cream enough that has been properly
ripened. A man having u small dairy
may not secure sufficient cream to churn
every day, but it is advisable where he
has sufficient quantity of cream There
can be no objection to setting farrow
and fresh cows milk together, IL the
cream is properly ripened and cared for.

Household Topics.
ornamentlnE F.rmer.. Homo.

The glimpse OF a farmers homestead
gives us an index to the character of
its inmates. No matter how plain the
dwelling. II II be adorned with flowers.
vines, and blossoming shrubs, we
know that 1t is the abode OF persons
OF taste and true refinement Nor
does this necessitate any great expendi-
ture either OF time or money. II the
owner becomes interested, he will
scarcely miss the odd half hours re-
quired-While the pleasure OF seeing
his home become beautiful under his
hands will more than compensate
for the labor. The humblest flower
that blooms responsive to ones train
ing carries double perfume; and the
fruit man picks from his own graft
ing has subtle flavors that trace back
through all the garden OF books"
Every country homestead. II VIC wish
fully to realize its advantages must
have its lawn or large yard ornamented
with perennial grass and handsome
shade trees; an orchard of thrifty fruit
trees; another OF small fruits, as rasp-
berries. grapes, and the like; besides
its well-kept vegetable garden, and a
plot set apart especially for flowers.
These different orchards and gardens
may be placed. by the exercise Of a
little forethought so rs to form set
ting to the house-to be readily seen
upon approach, yet not so close as to
obstruct the view. The background OF
picture is sometimes the prettiest
part OF it, and what could be more
ornamental than mass of fruit trees
with their everchanging aspect from
the time the balmy winds OF spring
Lclothe them in beautiful pink and white
blossoms, until the late autumn harvest
when the supple twigs bend low with
their weight OF red-cheeked apples?
The garden, too, should be Just within
sight; still, not too near the 'front.' for
though thing OF beauty for many
months in the year, there are few
sights more desolate than gardens in
winter.
For unwearying beauty all the year
round, there is nothing quite so salts
factory as fine sward Of bluegrass
and this should be the principal orna-
ment of the front yard and back yard
too for that matter, for this way of
putting a partition fence between, as
though there were unsightly objects
to be hid in the rear is simply abom-
Unable! avoid planting trees in lawn or
yard in stiff rows; nature is never guilty
of such monotony. Take her for your
model; see how she places n pict-
uresque group here and there, each of
different shape and height, with an
occasional oak or maple standing in
solitary grandeur, spreading its leafy
branches far and wide in perfect SYM
metry and grace. Some evergreens l
would also have, both to add variety
to the foliage in summer. and to pre-
vent the winter landscape from looking
wholly bare and desolate. Such
hardy evergreens as pines, spruces
and arbor vitn are highly ornamental
during all stages OF their growth, and
when judiciously placed serve to pro-
tect, in a measure, the house and
grounds from bleak, wintry winds. -

A Curious Craze Of Royalty.

The Princess OF Wales is RESPONSE
BILE, am afraid, for the dreadful
transposing of photographs on cups
plates, saucers and so on. A terrible
tea service has lately been adorned in
this manner for her royal highness; a
portrait of the queen is on one side
of the teapot and that of the King OF
Denmark on the other. The Prince Of
Wales appears on the milk jug, and
Prince Collars and Cuffs responses on
the bottom of the slop basin. The
three Processes, Victoria, Maud and
Louise OF Fife are grouped around
the sugar basin, and had the baby
Fife lived, it would, doubtless, in due
course, have figured on the butter
dish, Groups composed OF Prince
George, the Tecks, and other cousins,
decorate the plates and even Prince,
Henry of the Battenberg is allowed to
appear, with the Duke OF Teck. Prince
Christian, the Marquis OF Lorne,
Prince Edward OF Saxe-Weimer and
the Duke of Fife, on half a dozen egg
cups. The princess herself adorns a
cake plate. The awfulness OF this
photograph stained china can hardly
be described.

Barring Out Moths

The use of camphor gum, black
pepper, carbolic soap, and other sim
liar materials to prevent the common
clothes moth and buffalo beetle get
ting among furs and wooden goods
during the summer months, is entirely
unnecessary il you will take the
trouble to store in light cotton bags,
says the American Agriculturist. In
sects that feed upon furs, skins and
wooden goods will not touch cotton,
and thin muslin bag is as effective
n barrier to their progress as one
made of sheet iron. When ready to
put away your furs, lap robes and
similar articles used in winters beat
them well to remove the dust and any
insects that have found a lodgmer. in
them; then roll up and pack in .arge
or small cotton bags, and after tying
up tightly, hang up in dark closet.
The bags may bemade OF strong sheet
ing, and of airy size most convenient.

Among the Poultry.

One advantage with ducks is their rapid
growth.
Clean straw is good for the hens to
scratch in.
Put turpentine in the drinking water to
prevent gapes.
Some recommend soaking corn in kero-
sene for cholera.
Generally ON the farm there is no neces-
sity for buying extra foods.
Geese eat the grass close down to the
roots and often kill It out in this way
Poultry will readily digest bones If they
are broken fine enough for them to eat
When hawks bother the chickens, a few
brush piles will afford IA good protection.
Hens will lay more eggs without the
roosters than with them, but OF course the
eggs will not hatch
Feed only what is eaten up clean and at
certain hours in order to keep the fowls
from getting too fat
Curd is n good feed for young poultry OF
all kinds and can he fed to the laying hens
to a good advantage.

The Lady Druggist.

Many women in New York City own
drug stores, and some OF them assist
in selling toilet articles or standard
preparations. Very few of them, how
ever, possess the special knowledge or
training requisite for compromising
prescriptions. Western cities appear
to be forging ahead OF the metropolis
in this direction. At the recent
graduation exercises OF the Cincinnati
College OF Pharmacy, the faculty prize
was awarded to Miss Alice Brauns-
worth, an Iowa girl, for the best
average in all branches. In other
cities, also, women are numbered
among the diligent students OF the art
of preparing medicines.
It must be confessed that the in
vasion OF this field by the wearers Of
skirts is not welcome by the masculine
dispensers of pills, powders plasters,
purgatives and poultices. In fact,
they show propensity to organize
boycotts and otherwise make things
as unpleasant as possible for the fem
mime 'intruders" wherever the innova-
ton is tried. But prejudice of that
sort gradually dies out when it is found
to be ineffective as well as unchival-
rous. The lady physician is entrench-
ed in the land, and thelady druggist is

The second duty was to furnish right

wide difference OF opinion, and The reason
for keeping the Sabbath holy ought to be
given vigorously and maintained. The
third duty OF the church was to be right
in its practice; some of the greatest OBJ

day were the thoughtless habits OF
Christian people.
