GATHERING DUTTE2.

Oftentimes both the farmers wife
and professional dairynen experience
considerable trouble in gathering the
butter into a solid mass, even after it
appears in the churn III small granules
and fonts about III the buttermilk.
The usual plan is to manipulate with
the dash until the butter can be re-
moved from the churn in more or
less compact form. Thus treated, it
too often presents a greasy appear
ance, and by the time the usual WISH
ing and the proper quantity of salt is
well worked in, the granules are
mostly broken, and the result is that
the output is marketed at low price.
Very much of this trouble can be
avoided by a simple process, easily
understood, and within the reach of
all. AS soon as tho butter
appears and the process of gathering
is about to take place, then, for an
eight pound churning, pour gradually
over the floating butter in the churn
two gallons of cold water, in which n
teacup of fine salt has just been dis
solved. Let it stand for momont,
then manipulate with the dash as in
the usual manner in completing the
churning, and the chances are the but
ter will be well gathered but in un-
broken granules. The reason is that
the water containing the salt increases
the density or specific gravity of the
butsermilk, causing the granules to

PLANT FOOD.

The Missouri experiment station, in
its bulletin on soils and fertilizers,
summarizes as follows:
l. All crops demand soluble plant
food in proper amounts.
2. The plant food most deficient in
our soils is potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogen.
3. All plants readily respond to ap-
plications of potash and phosphoric
acid, and all but the leguminous plants
to that of nitrogen.
4. The leguminous plants are able
to gather and appropriate nitrogen in
abundance from the atmospheric
air.
3. Large crops mean tho buying of
potash and soluble phosphoric acid
fertilizers, and unlcs, proper rota-
ton is adopted, that of nitratos OF
other nitrogenous manures.
6. Potash salts may be applied either
in fall or in spring soluble phosphor-
ic acids and nitrates in spring only.
Z. For deep-rooting plants the two
former should be plowed under, and
tho soil receive top dressing in addi.
ton.
8. Beneficial results follow the ap-
plication of lime, and that of indirect
fertilizers, such as salt.
8. A proper rotation, differing under
different conditions, may be looked
upon as the vital measure for making
farming profitable and satisfactory
occupation.

Counting Coins by Machinery.

The feat of counting 1000 silver
dollars per minute is now being per-
formed at the Mint by little machine
invented by Sebastian Helms, the chief
carpenter of the institution, and by
its aid the work of counting the coin
and weighing the silver bars, can it Is
thought, be completed by the middle
of next month. The slow progress
made in counting by hand led Mr..
Helms to experiment, with the result,
after the expenditure of much thought
and time, of turning out very sue
cessful machine.
Mr. Morgan of Mint Director
Preston's Office was greatly interested
in the experiments, and, upon Witness
ing the final successful test of the in
vention, he granted permission for its
use in counting the great mass of sill
yer dollars. The machine was put
into regular operation yesterday, and
when worked to its limit was easily
able to dispose of two bags of coins
containing S5, 900 in minute.
The machine consists of hopper,
into which the coins are dropped. A
cog wheel, the teeth of which resemble
those of a circular saw, carries the
coins to tubes, and from there they
are forced out upon a little table,
containing twenty grooves, each of
which contains just fifty coins. A
turn of the crank counts 1000 coins
which are Immediately put into bag,
and second thousand follows before
the expiration of a minute. .-Philadel-

DELICIOUS CREAM PIE.

Bent three eggs very light with an
eggbeater, add to them one cup full
and half of powdered sugar, and beat

add one gill of cold water to the beaten
egg and sugar, then sift in the flour
and baking powder and beat well.
Pour little moro than half of this
mixture into two deep buttered tin
plates. Pour the remainder into q
small cake pan. Bake the parts in
the tin plates for twenty minutes and
that in the pan for twenty five
minutes. The two round plates are
for the pies, and the sheet of cake
may be used in the basket. 1t
improves if kept day or two. Split
the round cakes and fill in with the
prepared cream. To make the cream,
put three gills of milk into the double
boiler and place on the fire. Beat to-
gether in bowl three tablespoonfuls
OF flour, two-thirds of a cup of sugar,
one large egg and half tablespoonful
OF salt. When this is light and
smooth stir it into the boiling milk.
Beat well for two minutes, cover the
boiler and cook the cream for fifteen
minutes, stirring frequently. Flavor
with half teaspoonful of vanilla or
lemon extract. Cool and use. This
cream is more delicate if ono table.

The Grow Was Loaded.

Dick Willoughby relates an amusing
incident that happened to him at
Funter Bay.
Dick was driving a tunnel ON
ledge back of his cabin, and was in
the habit of leaving stick of giant
powder on rock in sunny place at
the mouth of the tunnel to thaw out
On several occasions when he went to
get his powder it had mysteriously
disappeared, and he was ut loss to
account for it. AS it was considerable
of an annoyance to have to go to the
cabin and get more powder and wait
for it to thaw, Dick concluded to
watch proceedings and wait for the
thief.
He laid the stick Of powder in its
usual place, and had waited but
short time when he saw raven sail
ont of n tree and swoop down upon
the explosive. The bird tore at the
tough paper cover until it could get at
the powder, then began to greedily
devour it. Giant powder is made up
of nitro-glycorine, sawdust, and grease,
and whole stick of it makes a very
hearty breakfast for a raven. The
stick had nearly disappeared when
Dick thought it time to avenge his
loss, and was in the act of raising his
rifle, when the raven gave defiant
cawk and arose in the air with the re-
mainder of the stick of powder grasp
ed in its claws. When up some dis

An Absent.Min led Man.

Tho following anecdote of an alb

have heard it before it seems to be

of Peter Burrowes, the celebrated
barrister, and one of Ireland worth

stance of absence of mind. A friend
called upon him one morning in his
dressing-room, and found him shaving
with his face to the wall. He asked
him why he chose SO strange an atti-
tude. The answer was, "To look in

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A good way to choke valuable COW
is to feed her uncut vegetables.
No dead or dying limbs should be
permitted to remain on the fruit
trees.
In pasture where there are no trees
a few posts should be set to furnish
rubbing places for stock. They would
not be as liable to injure the fences by
rubbing.
There is no fodder crop in the world
that will produce SO much with as little
expense rs corn. 1t is easily cultivated,
and will keep more stock to the acre
than anything else.
The farmer who centres his hopes in
grass and cattle will have much more
even and satisfactory course before
him than the one who depends mainly
on grain. For one thing, he does not
find it 30 difficult to keep his land up.

Found a Rattlcsnake In a Catfish.

Not long since Theo. Armstrong and
some of his neighbors were fishing in
Little River, some ten or twelve miles
below here, where they saw large
catfish on the opposite side of the
river floating near the surface of the
water. Its queer actions attracted
attention-it seemed to be in pain and
vainly trying to go under the water.
MIR. Armstrong pulled off his clothes,
swan across, caught the fish and
brought it to the shore. The fish APP
peared to be very much swollen, or at
least very full of something. He cut
it open and was astonished to find a
large rattlesnake in its stomach. The
snake was not digested, in fact, was
just beginning to swell, and this swell
ling is what is supposed to have caused
the fish's trouble. 1t was getting so
full of gas it could not sink. Mr..
Armstrong stretched the snake out
and measured it. 1t was three feet
long. The snakes head had been
beaten and its rattles were gone,
which led him to believe that some
one had killed it, taken off It's rattles
and thrown it into the river, where it
was swallowed by the fish. Galveston

COOKED CUCUMBERs.

Cucumbcrs are seldom used except
raw, and yet they are both delicious
and digestible when cooked. The
peel should be removed and the Gu
cumbers should be boiled until tender,
then drained and sliced, and simmered
in good brown gravy, to which very
little Chile vinegar has been added,
for seven or eight minutes. Radishes,
like cucumbers, can be served hot as
well as in salads. They should be
tied in lunches and boiled for eight
cen or twenty minutes, then placed
on toast and covered with white sauce.
Peas, French beans, and sprouts are
greatly improved by being tossed for
a few minutes previous to sending to
table in a saucepan containing q lump
of fresh butter, teaspoonful of
cream, pinch of castor sugar, and
seasoning of pepper and salt. A rath-

FOR The HOUSEWIFE.
COOKING ASPARAGUS.

A hint that may be useful to cooks,
who are often Disconnected at finding
the heads of asparagus tender, while
the stalks are hard, is as follows: The
hardness of the stalks arises from the
fact that the asparagus, being hori-
sontal, the green part, which requires
much less cooking, gets done before
the stalks. To obviate this q little
wire basket can be got for a few pence,
the orifice of which is large enough TO
admit of the asparagus standing per-
pendicularly. The water in it only
reaching to the top of the stalks, does
not touch the heads, which are cooked
in the steam.
