Washi.x Butter.

A correspondent Of the Ohio Farmer
says: notice a number Of your cor
respondents In the dairy department
object to the washing of butter in
water. I feel like taking all such by
the hand and congratulating them for
speaking out in public" and giving a
protest against this injurious practice;
for injurious 1t ia, destroying the keep
ing qualities of butter, and has. think,
done more to injure this product Of the
whole line Of bad butter-luaking.
II all washed butter could be con-
sumeti directly after it was made.
there would not be so much objection
to this practice, but such ia not the
case, and soon there is a deterioratng
influence ut work. The butter gets on
flavor, and the longer 1t is kept the
more stale 1t becomes, and when such
butter gets into the consumers hands
he finds it a bad lot" and feels like
saying "cuss words aud confining the
butter-maker to regions where ice or
snow could not exist.
The would-be refOrmers, who extol
the practice Of washing butter and
write long articles for publication,
know they are trenching on dangerous
ground, else why do they invariably
counsel the manufacturer to put such
butter directly into the hands Of con-
sumers?.
II there should be a necessity for
washing butter, let it be washed In
skim-milk- cool and sweet-and after
1t Is sailed 1t should stand but O short
time-say two hours-ere 1t receives the
second and last working, before rolling
and packing for the market; and II
one is obliged to keep such product q
month or two before sending to the
consumer, there need be no fears that
On 'on favor is being generated to
injure its market value.
"Prove all things and hold fast to
that which Is good" is an old saw, and
should have its followers now, hence
forth and forever.

Treatment OF Poultry.

The poultry Of the farm are popularity
supposed to work their own passage
the year round, with but slight atten-
ton in times Of winter storms. Per-
haps this is possible, but it Is not pol.
icy, says the Nebraska Farmer. The
big end Of profit In keeping poultry on
the farm comes from the very fact that
there Is always a large waste of grains,
fruits, scraps. ETC., about the place, un-
less there Is the ever-present domestic
fowl to take 1t up and stow it away
where 1t will do the most good. The
better the care that Is given the flock
IL the winter, when it cannot at all
times do for itself, the better returns it
will give, not only at that particular
season, but during the whole Of the
year. Chickens are not all different
from any other live stock Of the farm
in so far az responding to good treat
ment, Us do your cattle, horses and
hogs, and they are bound to be q source
Of constant profit to the farm.

ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY.


tingulshableness Of Life.
St Paurs great declaration, 'the
things seen are temporal; the things
not seen are eternal'-accepted timid-
ly here by the pious, but regarded as
a mere phrase by tho materialists-is
in India a commonplace Of daily cer-
tainty. Nobody there doubts the con-
tinuity Of life any more than he doubts
that the setting sun will rise again,
the same orb, tomorrow.
I have heard Mahratta woman,
while chiding her child for spilling
milk, exclaim: You must have been a
very bad girl in your past life!" The
popular reason why Hindoo widows do
not remarry is because the loss OF q
betrothed or welded husband is looked
upon as the fatal expiation for some
extreme offense in a previous existence,
to Z be borne with patient con-
tinuance in this one; on which
condition the family of the
deceased husband will faithful
ly maintain the widow. as still belong
ing to the dead man. and to be surely
reunited with him. This was the basis
Of the heroic though tragical custom OF
..Sati," or widowburninR. one of the
grandest deHances ever flung by
human faith and love at the face of the
doctrine of annihilation.
The respect for the animal world.
general in Hindoo and Buddhist socis-
ties. is founded with the tenet Of
transmigration, bn the same fxed be-
lief in the endurance and evolving
advance Of every individual being. No
spot is empty of life in the Indian
mind. A Deccani or Rengali laborer,
at his meal in the jungle, throws be-
hind him fragments of his chupatty for
the invisible Bhuts and Prets to eat.
In India, as in Japan, festivals (shrad-
dhas) are made for the dead with
scrupulous regularity. at which their
seats are duly set The east is satur-
ated with the mental and social re-
suits Of this universal acceptance OF
the notion that individual life is mex
tinguishahle. A dignified calm spreads
throughout the oriental populations, a
permanent uninquirinR placidity, no
ticeable by the most careless or pref
udlced eye.
The wisest Indian philosophy has
never boggled, like ours. over that silly
Supernatural" The Upanishad says:
"What is in the visible exists also in
the invisible, and what is in Brahms
world, that is also here" Tho
Ultimate, albeit Unreachable, is rs
real to the Asiatic mind as rice; and in
the Bhagavad-Gita Arjuna is acturally
permitted to behold the embodied In
finite. Indeed. it is rather this present
existence which India regards as the
illusion, the Maya. To see the stars
we must wait for night, and to live we
must die. Nor is .it uninteresting to
note in Hindoo classics how these large
and happy serenities of oriental view
have softened presentations of death.

GENESIS OF THE STEAMBOAT.
Ancient Craft That Foreehad0wed tAa
Modern Greyhounds Of the Sea.

Ancient Craft That Forsshadowed the
M0dern Greyhounds Of the Sea.
The first steamboat was built by Dem
mis- Papin, who navigated it safely
down the Fulda rs long ago as 1907.
Unfortunately this pioneer craft was
destroyed by jealous sailors, and even
the very memory of it was lost for
three-quarters of q century. In l17s
Perrier, another Frenchman, built an
experimental steam vessel at Paris.
Eight years later. in 1883. Jouffroy took
up the idea that had been evolved by
Papin and Perrier and built steam
boat which did good service for some
time on the Saone.
The first American to attempt to up
ply steam to navigation was John Fitch,
u Connecticut mechanic, who made his
initial experiments in the year 17S5.
To what extent Fitch was indebted to
the three illustrious French inventors
named above we are not informed, but
that his models were original there il
not the least doubt. In the first he en-
ployed large pipe kettle for generating
the steam, the motive power being side
paddles working after the fashion OF
oars on . common rowboat- In the
the second Fitch craft the same mode
Of propulsion IVES adopted, with the
exception that the paddles were made
to initiate a revolving wheel and were
fixed TO the stern-clearly foreshadow.
ing the present sternwheeler.
This last mentioned boat was the
first American steam vessel that can be
pronounced a success. II made its
first trip to Burlington in July. 17Ss.
But, after all, it was not until after the
opening of the present century that
steam navigation started into actual
life. In 1907 Robert Fulton (who every
school child knows was an Americana,
in conjunction with one Robert r. Liv-
ingston, built the Clermont and estab.
lished \ regular packet service between
New York and Albany.
The success of this undertaking was
50 satisfactory that four new boats
were built before the end of 1911, al
least two of them being designed for
service in other rivers-St. Louis Re-
nublic,

HOW PAT TOOK THE PLEDGE.

Bound Himself Not to Drink and Yet Left
Convenient Loopholes.
Pat Cahill and Bridget, his wife,
we're two well-known characters less
than a score of years ago in Lansing
burg. Both liked ''wee drop" at
times. and once in q great while Pat
would come home on Saturday night
decidedly the worse for wear.
This would scandalizc Bridget. but
her solicitude for her husbands habits
appa rently arose not SO much from his
cond ition of intoxication as that she
was deprived from any'participation in
the conviviality.
At last one day came a temperance
orator, who made great impression
on the towns-people. The man was
somewhat more liberal in his views
than others who had preceded him,
and If he could not secure a pledge for
total abstinence would compromise
upon some other terms.
Among those who went to hear the
advocate one night was Pat and his
wife. The former appeared much af-
fectcd by the arguments. and finally
pressed forward from his seat to sign
the pledge. His wife trailed on be-
hind.
Don't be afther making il too
sthrong. Pat" she whispered loud
enough for every one to hear.
Don't tempt me, Biddy," he re-
marked as he advanced to the plat
form.
"Write down there" said he to the
temperance man. .'that Pat Cahill
will not taste drop Of liquor
"Write down there, as tell you. .
continued Pat, wavering a bit, that
Pat Cahill will not taste a drop OF
liquor except at q christening, we'd
ding or q wake and when he meets q
friend"
These terms were liberal enough to
satisfy Biddy, and Pat, too. for that
matter, but, strange to say. he ever
afterward boasted of taking the
pledge. but it did not prevent him hav-
ing many a glorious spree without
ever violating his terms--N. Y. Herald.
