THE TIME TO CHURN.

A good test Of the fitness of cream to
churn is to put few drops in dipper
OF warm water. Ii it does not mix freely
with the water, but forms stringy spots
in the water, it is ready for churning
1t is well to churn at temperature of
sixty-two degrees. After it is churned
until butter has formed in granules the
size of small shot the buttermilk should
be drawn off and the butter washed well.
There are some butter makers who do
not wash their butter at all. In that
case it requires more working. After
the butter is taken from the churn it
should be placed on the worker, sailed
at the rate Of about one ounce to one
pound of butter, worked sufficiently,
packed and put away in place OF tenn

The manner in which visiting English
men are robbed in the west, and the quick
hess with which some OF them take the
lesson to heart and practice it upon the
next Englishman who comes out, or borrow
from the prosperous Englishman already
there, would furnish material for a book
full of pitiful stories. And yet one cannot
help smiling at the wickedness of some of
these schemes. Three Englishmen, for ex-
ample, bought, as they supposed, $4,000
Texas steers; but the Texans who pretended
to sell them the cattle drove the st.-. 10
head ten times around the mountain, as a
eozen supers circle round the back drop of
stage to make an army, and the English
men counted and paid for each steer ten
times over.
There was another Texan who made
great deal of money by advertising to teach
young men how to become cowboys, and
who charged them ten dollars month
tuition fee, and who set his pupils to work
digging holes for fenceposts all over the
ranch until they grew wise in their gen
Grafton and left him for some other ranch,
where they were paid thirty dollars per
month for doing the same thing. But in
many instances it is the tables Of San An
tonic which take the greater part of the
visiting Englishman's money.
One gentleman, who for some time rep
resented the Isle of Wight in the lower

The Prehensile Foot of East Indians.

The traveller who walks in the native
quarters of the cities of India can easily
study there ull industries in their begin
nings, as they were probably practiced in
Europe in the Middle Ages The shops are
usually open and the workmen can be seen
inside. Textile industries pottery, shoe
making, joinering, armoring, jewelry, con
fectioners-all can be observed in a single
street like Chitpore street, Calcutta.
If we take pains to examine attentiyely
the methods of working, we shall be
struck by the enormous function PLAYED
by the lower limb. Whatever the indus
tries, the Indian, squatting or sitting on
the ground, works with his feet as well as
with hands, and it might be said that all
four of his limbs are in constant exercise
The joiner for example, has no assistant
to hold his plank, but makes his great toe
serve that purpose.
The shoemaker does not employ fixed
clamp for the shoe on which he is sewing
but holds it in his feet, which change no,
sition to suit his convenience, while his
nimble hands do the sewing. The metal
worker holds the joint of his shears on his
feet in cutting copper.-F Regnault in

THE MILKING HABIT.

We read SO much from a scientific
point OF how it pays to milk the COW and
heller up pretty close to calving at first,
by establishing the habit of continual
milking, but nobody seems to volunteer
practical information of such value.
Acting on this thought CORES pondent

OF continual milking cows. He says:
A year ago l bought five-year-old COW
and two-year-old heifer both due to

SCALDED AND RAW FOOD.

1t sometimes happens that the fowls
will not show Partially for soft feed.
This depends not so much upon the
quality OF the food as upon its prepare
ton. When middlings or ship-stuff is
added, the fowls prefer it cooked or in a
scalded condition. A mixture OF corn
and oats, ground, may be fed raw at
times to adult fowls and be highly re-
lished by them, but for chicks it should
be scalded. When ship-stuff is added,
the mass becomes somewhat sticky and
does not crumble very readily. All soft
food should be mixed with scalding
water. 1t not only renders it more
palatable, but also more digestible. and
the birds will eat larger quantity.
When they seem disgusted with any
kind OF soft food, let the ingredients be
varied somewhat. A little ground meat
added and scalded with the grain,
changes the character of the food and
provides new dish. Fowls will prefer
raw food at times, as change, but, as a
rule, all the soft food should be well
scalded, in order to avoid waste and loss.

Old Time Countrrfeiters

A miner operating on Miller's ranch, near
Latrobe, while following up a pocket"
lead unearthed an iron pot containing 81, 900
in what appeared to be gold coins They
turned out, however, to be counterfeits.
Some old miners tell that about 1853 there
was lively camp near the spot where the
bogus coin was found. Two Young men
lived near the camp, and they always were
well supplied with money, which they
spent freely. They had the very best of ev-
erything going
AS those young fellows We're never known
to do any work and as they never gambled
any and consequently could not have won
the money they spent so freely, it soon be-
gan to be whispered about that they were
counterfeit money makers. From this cir
cumstance the place became known as
"Counterfeit Bar The suspicion against
the young men became so general that they
were alarmed and disappeared from the
camp, and all traces of them were lost and
they were forgotten until the incident mar
rated above brought them to mind again,
