birds may be provided with a dry
dust bath in nearly all kinds Of wealth
er. Some poultry raisers allow their
fowls the liberty of the sheds where
the farm machinery is housed, and
here they get q fine busting in all
sorts Of weather, but if the birds roost
on them it does not improve their
looks nor the working Of the farm i'm
plements. Better keep them out. and
assign them to quarters more fitting.
The cost of cleaning machinery of hen
manure on some farms would build
palatial abodes for the hens and make
them profitable part Of the farm.

Hygienic Tobacco.

The inventor is surely working in 4
worthy cause when he seeks to enable
us to enjoy the good things OF this
life to the full without paying the
penalty which usually seems insep-
arabic from enjoyment. Tobacco has
been the source Of infinite pleasure to
man, but the deadly nicotine which
it contains has wrecked many 8 con-
stitution. A philanthropic inventor
has conceived the idea of rendering
the seductive weed innocuOus, while
preserving the qualities that sOothe
and comfort the smoker, and, further
more, to make the use of tobacco alb
solutely beneficial to the health. lie
proposes to do this by adding certain
oils to the tobacco. The wording of
the invention shows that it relates to
improvements in the manufa cture of
tobacco, the desired object being to
destroy the nicotine or alkaloid con-
tanned in the tobacco, and at the same
time to impart to the tobacco yalua bic
medicinal and beneficial properties.
TO this end the tobacco leaves are
treated with certain oils and essences
during the process of manufacture.
If the idea of the inventor can be
successfully carried out the most Sc
rious objection to smoking will be re-
moved; another singular result would
be that hundreds of varieties of pipes
that have been constructed specially
to obviate the unpleasant effects Of
nicotine would be no longer needed

Floating Canning Factory.

An ocean-going canning factory sail
ed from this port for the Florida Keys
and the West Indies to-day. She has
aboard $4,000 cans of / and 2 pound
caliber, in which it is proposed to put
fish, fruit and meat. There are boilers
and all the apparatus of a camping es-
tablishment aboard, as we'll as first
class chef and expert "canners" The
expedition will make a speciality of
that succulent fish, the pompano. Tur-
ties will also be largely caught, and,
under the benign influence Of the chef,
will become canned turtle soup. When
the fishing is bad the schooner will
visit West Indian ports and barter
calico and Waterbury watches with
the natives for fruit, which will also
go into cans. The expedition expects
to come back loaded with guava jelly,
among other things. Whether can
merry on the spot can compete with the
big ones ashore remains to be seen.
At all events, the preserved fish and
fruit to be put up by the Yankee gen
JUS who heads the enterprise will have
freshness in it's favore, which should
command an extra cent or two oyer
the other sort.

Choice Farm Butter.

Good butter must not only look we'll
and be firm, but it must taste well.
To secure this good taste is one of the
most difficult tasks of buttermaking.
Milk in all it's forms is one Of the most
susceptible substances to taints and
odors. It is sweet and wholesome as
it comes from the healthy cow, and
to make good butter it must be kept
so. The COW stables should be clean
and we'll aired, so as to be free from
odors of mold and decaying manure.
The COWS coat and udder should be
cleaned before milking, and the milk
er's. hands and clothing should be in
civilized condition. The tin milk
bucket should have been secured,
scalded, and if possible summed, before
it's daily use. The teats should be
MIXED with dry hands, and all posi-
BILE dust should be kept out Of the
milk Some dalrymcn cover the pail
with Unbranded wire gauze sieve,
which catches the foam and the dust
particles as the milk stream is con-
Quoted through it. Hurry the milk
from the stable to the house or cellar,
and Immediately set it for Dreaming
in the clcanest Of cans or pans, which
should be treated as carefully as the
milk buckets. Cool the milk as soon
as possible by aerating, setting in a
stream Of cold water, or even by cool
air in well-ventilated place. AS soon
as the animal heat Is removed, the
vessels may be covered with clean tin
covers; wood absorbs taints so readily
that it should be used as little as pos
sible in buttcr-making. The wooden
churns, bowls and ladies' which must
be used should be most thoroughly
soaked with boiling water. and then
disinfected with. plenty Of, sunshine
and pure air. A little washing or bak-
Ing soda in the boiling water will help
to keep things sweet in cloudy wealth
er. The can that Is to hold the cream
will need the most attention, as it is
desirable to keep the batch sweet as
long as possible, in order to have uni
form churnings. If the butter cannot
be used or sold within two weeks
after it is made. it should be we'll
packed, keeping the color in each tub
as uniform as possible.

in lard left in skillet 1t will be ten
der and nice. After frying pieces have
been selected, place all boiling pieces
in good brine. The following is good:
One-quarter pound cayenne pepper,
one-half pound brown sugar, two
ounces saltpeter, one gallon of salt;
mix all together in pan, roll every
piece in the mixture, then salt down
in jars or tight barrel, and put weight
on to keep meat under brine.
Steak cut two inches thick and
packed in stone jars with the above
preparation will keep several months,
as I know from experience. A soak
ing over night will take the salt out,
and it will be tender and sweet when
fried. If dry beef is wanted it can be
taken out of brine in a few days and
hung up and dried. When I make
sausage meat make into little cakes,
fry and pack down and pour Lard
over it.
When you want to eat it, take out
Of lard and heat thoroughly, and it
will be as fresh as when first made
and much better than stuffed ones, as
it does not get strong. The above
recipes are all from actual use and ex-
perience. We want the recipes in our
paper to be worthy Of use, and not
just hearsay and guesswork, as some

Sheltered Dust Bath for Fowls
Choice Farm Butter-Just So-A
Few Short Rovvn.

In the latter part Of the year 1892
the :Aculty of the Michigan
Agricultural College prepared a course
of reading for farmers, gardeners,
fruit growers, stock breeders, etc.
to be used in what is designated the
Farm Home Reading Circle. The OBJ
ject OF this reading circle was to
offer q systematic course Of reading
on agricultural and kindred topics,
with books furnished at reduced
prices through the secretary, and
provision was made by the State
Board of Agriculture to have the
printing, correspondence and postage
free, so that the books would be the
only expense to members.
Persons Of any age were invited to
join the circle. They were all
entitled to the publications Of the
State experiment stations and were
encouraged to address questions on
any doubtful points to the faculty
Of the college. When any reader COM
pleted a book he could obtain a
blank from the secretary and make
written report on the leading topics
of the work, and if this was salts
factory he was entitled to a written
voucher which certified to this fact;
when all the books in any one course.
whether relating to the garden and
orchard, to live stock, to soils and
crops, or to any other special subject,
entitled to certificate of the next
grade, and on the completion Of any
three courses a diploma was to be
issued.
Prof. Mumford, who is the secretary
of this circle, writes that it has met
with unusual success. Three hundred
readers are pursuing their work now,
more than a thousand inquiries lave
been made and $500 persons have
asked for circulars. In experience
the course seems to be cumulative,
and as one person reads a book he
recommends it to friend. who like
wise reads it, and thus the circle
widens. Expressions Of appreciation
have been received from influential
farmers in many States, and from
every evidence the course has be-
gun a career Of genuine usefulness.
There can be little doubt that an
organization of this kind will prove
genuine help to agriculture. The
short courses in many Of the colleges,
schols Of dairying. farmers in
stitutes and horticultural assemblies,
like the one recently held in
Chautauqua County, will accomplish
genuine service. even if they do
no more than to bring farmers into
contact with men of science, either
personally or through books, and con-
vince them that there is such a thing
as scientific truth, upon which the
best practice is always based.
The young man or woman who
reads few books will not be an
accomplished practitioner in any
branch of agriculture or Horticulture
but if he is able to pass examina-
lions in these works he will learn
the value of study and mental APP
plication, he will learn how to think
consecutively about his business and
he will know where to turn for
information when he needs Mt
