Making the butter Solid.

Whether butter is to be sold in prints,
rolled or packed in tubs, it should be
made solid, says A. L. Crosby. A print
may contain the right weight Of but
ter, but if it is full of cavities when put
In it makes it look like a botched job
on the part Of the maker; and the same
may be said of butter made into rolls
or packed in tubs. After the butter
grains have been washed and salted in
the barrel churn the churn may be re-
yolved until the butter is all gathered
into one large lump. If it is TO be
printed IL can then be taken out of the
churn and weighed into Jumps OF the
size desired, then with a paddle in each
hand the Jumps can be shaped for the
printer and if properly handled during
this process, the final operation of print
ing will make the butter perfectly solid.
IL the butter is to be packed IL can also
be taken direct from the churn and put
in the tub, using wooden follower to
press It solid and a sponge covered with
a piece of muslin to absorb the water as
IL is pressed out. We have said nothing
about the butter worker, as it is an
implement not needed in the private
dairy if a good barrel or box churn be
used. All the use we ever put the work
er to was to get the water out of the
butter and make IL solid, after 1t had
been worked on level worker IL was
always necessary to give 1t about as

Good Work with the PIow.

A correspondent of Farm and Home
says that good work with the pillow de-
ponds very much upon the skill and in
genuity of the plowman. Set the coul-
ter so the point will be at the proper
angle to do the best work. The right
slope depends on the soil and it must
frequently be changed before a perfect
position is obtained. Fix it so the point
will stand at an angle to the furrow
with the cutting edge one-half inch
further into the land than is the land
side and plow point. This can be done
by wedging it with wood next the pillow
beam. This will help the pillow TO run
clear, prevent it's wedging. and keep it
steady and to the land If a jointer be
used. have the point sharp. set it into
the land like a coulter. but not deep
Set it forward or backward or sidewise
until the plow runs as steady and easy
as possible. When carefully hung,
jointers make good work.
The wheel needs some attention. 1t
should be oiled to run quietly, and
washered up if too loose. An evener

rows and whiffletrees that are too heavy
unbalance the plOw. Horses accustomed
to blowing will do just as well ahead Of
whiffietrees when only sixteen to twenty
inches long as if longer. Before starting
the horses lay out the field; a little
planning and measuring will make the
work come out evenly, save time and
result in a better crop than careless
hands and chOppy hands at the end.
When the pillow has started, notice what
length of traces do the best work and
are easiest for man and beast. Set the
wheel and cIevis the pillow will run

the wheel. Too much riding here. how
ever, increases draft. A sharp point is
a cheap essential and should be fire.

The Passing Away of Time-Autumn
Stories and Other Thoughts


Kind Howard Friends-I have again
managed to find little spare time to
use in letting you all hear from me, and
now that I have called. am at a loss to
know what to say.
My ideas may be scattered somewhat
But. however. there comes to me this in
slant thought as | reflect on past times
and present impressions that makes
me realize that time steadily moves
on at a more rapid rate than we give 1t
credit for doing, and that the year Of
'93 has realized a little more of it's life
than it will hereafter. Though circum-
stance has favored il like no other year.
yet it declines and passes swiftly on to-
ward the terminate. This, the year
in which the greatest institution of all
the land, the fair, has been opened to
the many curious eyes Of the public for
information and pleasure, it, too. has
passed the turning post of it's short ex-
istence, and only to soon will IL close
its gates against the universe and cease
to exist in the beauty and sublimity Of
its present state.
Time never wearies in it's ceaseIess
flow onward. but rapidly departs and
moment we are to try the inexperienced
future. This year, though it includes
the great SHOW" differs in no way in
general with any other year. think we
can say the same about human life in
its general course, and differs not with
another in general. Any life is but a
draught from the living fountain OF the
holy spirit, brought into the world on
trial; the same air sustains all; all de-
parts down the stream of time; and all
inevitably at the end is freed from this
worthless mortal hull and again re-
turns TO the sphere from wherce il
came-some taminated and some untaint-
ed in lifes actual contacts.
Now, what a nice part nature plays
in both life and time, for there is in each
a spring, time of growth; a summer,
a time of maturity; an autumn, time
OF decline; a winter, time Of rest.
What a striking analogy is life and
time when viewed thus. but how unex-
pressedly sad is the thought when we
stand in the prime or maturity oil life,
its summer time. and comprehend that
time has been busy distilIing into US the
essence Of strength, and its next duty
is to steadily steal IL away from US. lit
tie by little. This is a sad experience.

Increasing Production of Eggs.

The Hammonton breeder, P. II. ia
cobs, calls attention TO one point in
raising poultry that is perhaps not
thoroughly understood by some read
ers, and that is the fact that in aiming
to secure 'general-purpose' breed you
really get nothing at all.
To present the matter plainly, let US
take the Leghorn, a breed that is con-
sidered one Of the best for laying. 1t
is an egg producer in the truest sense.
and yet it has its faults. 1t can fly
over the highest fence and does not
grow very large. Now, let us look at
the Brahma, which is just the oppo-
site of the Leghorn, except that the
Brahma hens are good layers if prop
erly managed. The Brahma cannot fly
at all, and it grows to very large
size, being considered an excellent breed
for market.
Some enterprising farmer will en-
deavor to combine the qualities of the
Leghorn and Brahmas by crossing them.
What is the result? Simply mongrels,
for the offsprings will be able to fly,
and they will not be equal TO either
parent in any respect. The uniformity
Of the fiocks will have been destroyed
and the tendency will be on the down
grade instead Of Improvement The OBJ
ject in crossing is supposed to give
greater hardness, as the new blood
will be an advantage. 1t is just as
easy to procure new blood by breed
ing pure breeds as by crossing. If the
breeders of Jersey cattle should attempt
to secure size and hardness, with larger
yields of milk, by crossing with the
HOlsteins, the result would be that the
Jerseys would soon be extinct, and yet
this is just what results with poultry
when two breeds are used for crossing.
To secure greater prolifcacy keep the
birds pure, and select the eggs for
Matching from the most prolific hens.
If possible, aim to use a, male that is
son or prolific hen.
In this manner, by careful selection,
the number of eggs will be increased
each year, and if the new blood is
necessary, aim to get it from a flock
of prolific fowls. Never attempt to in
crease the production of eggs by any
method of crossing. 1t has been tried
hundreds of times, and always ended
in the destruction of the flocks.

As the Moments Fly.

What are you doing. day by day.
AS the precious moments fly?
Waste, oh, waste them never,
For moments gone are gone forever.
They are slipping from our grasp
AS jewels from a broken clasp.
The precious moments are cirling away;
Are you idling away the day?
Sieze them as a precious stone,
AS you are travelling DER this dome.
Swiftly past us they fly.
Waiting for none to sigh.
None can stop their fight
AS they hasten the past to unite.
Flowers may die and wither from earth.
But come again at swee' springs birth.
The rain drops fall and sink away,
But fall again some future day
But the tide flows on as an endless river
And moments gone are gone forever.

The Drought and Crop Prospect.

The drought has been disastrous in
many sections of our country. Portions
Of New England have had rain, and
give promise of a fair crop Of corn and
potatoes. Northeastern New York has
Jared equally well. The great corn belt
has been exceedingly dry. Local rains
have done some good, but drought is the
rule, especially east of the Mississippi
river. The northwest has suffered Sc
verely. The potato crop in Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and New Jersey is a fall
ure, and the more northern states. New
York, Michigan. Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, have suffered severely. Indica-
lions poiut 10 good price for pCta-
toes. The crop of corn cannot be large,
despite the fact that corn withstands the
drought better than almost any other
plant.

Cnre of Manure.

II is the custom Of some TO carefully
clean out the stable each morning and
dump it in a pile near at hand. There
are two criticisms to this There is too
much labor in it and the urine which is
indeed valuable as a fertilizer, is not
entirely saved.
Another way is to throw Ii out Of
windows. along the sides of the stable.
The rain coming and as there is usually
some natural drainage, the best part Of
our manure is either soaked or carried
away by the water, yet that is not all;
it rots the Notwithstanding sills and
disfgures the barn.
If we use either # the two ways men
toned above, we will have to regather
1t, putting 1t upon the fields which
makes double handling, besides the less.
A good plan is to first haul into the
barn a good quantity of wheat straw
from the stack. use it literally in bed
ding the horses. Instead of throwing
the manure out each morning add a
new supply of the straw. Continue so,
taking care to keep 1t we'll filed in the
front Of the stall that the horses
heels will not be higher than his head.
BY this way all the manure from the
horse is saved besides we have warmer
quarters for him.
At suitable time We can haul it out
upon, say the wheat field. scattering it
thinly Off we have a manure spreader all
the better) on the knobs, where it will
act as a protection during the spring
freezes. Neither need we fear that we
will not have a good catch of clover Up
on these spots. The wheat will also
take on a rapid growth making US an
excellent return in harvest.
The idea prevails among the minds
of many farmers, that by spreading the
manure over the ground the wind takes
away "A good part Of its value. This is
not true, but it is only the moisture that
is carried away by it.
