Some of our readers may not under
stand the exact method of the deep
setting Of milk, which is now in
general use In good diaries which do
not use the separator. The milk is
taken direct from the COW lit should
be aerated aud placed in cans eight
inches in diameter aud twenty inches
deep. These are not arbitrary dimen-
sions, but demonstrably the best.
The cans are at once placed III ice
water, which is maintained at tenn
perature as near forty degrees Fahren-
heit as possible. Flowing water from
cool springs is better thHn stationary
ice water, even if the temperature rises
to fifty degrees or little over. The
cream will rise in from twelve to TWEEN
ty-fOur hours. 1t is evident that skim
ming such a can would be difficult,
the best way being with appointed dish
of less diameter than the can, which
is gently inserted and the cream al
lowed to flow in There is usually,
however, loss of cream by this meth
cd. A better way is to use cans with
a strip of glass inserted in one side
aud faucet at the bottom. As the
milk is drawn off the cream settles,
aud as the point of separation can be
seen through the glass, the faucet is
closed at the proper time and the
cream turned out. Much more of the
cream is saved by this method than
by the shallow setting in pans. San

The overhead conductors do NOT ex-

500 meters-2640 feet-and aplowing
rome of 300 meters-9S5 feet-working
length, to pillow 222 acres from one
centre of operations. The motor
wagon carries two drums on horizon
tai axes. On these the two ends OF
the rome are wound, the blight passing
round the sheave on the anchor wagon.
One drum is driven to draw in the
rope, while the other runs under a
brake to keep the tail rope fairly taut.
The two rsrts Of the rope are led
round guiding sheaves, revolving in
horizontal planes under the wagon.
The two fear wheels eau be connected
to tie motor by clutches and gearing
to probel the wagon, while the two
LEADING wheels serve to steer 1t.
There is platform for the attendant,
with the various handles aud levers
grouped in front of it. The weight
of motor WAGON is seven tons. Mr..
Borsig states that. with fixed steam
engines of $50 horse power and with
five blows, 600 acres Of medium
heavy ground can be plowed to a
depth of fourteen inches, at a cost Of
ninety-five cent per acre. If separate
engines have to be employed, the cost
per acre is increased by fourteen cents.
The anchor wagon carries sheave
around which the blowing rope runs.
The sbeave is fixed in guide, and is
connected by chain to the anchor
Hence, rs the anchor sinks into the

manipulated by the chains running
round the pttllsys at the head OF the

rope, when the pillow is moving toward
the motor wagon, ectuates gearing
which winds the anchor out of the
ground and moves the anchor wagon
forward into the right position for the
next double set of burrows. AT the
same time, the anchor and sheave are
moved backwards, relatively, to the
frame to slow for the slip of the

then dropped by the attendant, and

In Jamaica and other West India
islands, they have 2 very curious wsy
of preserving eggs fresh for IL consider
able time. A layer Of eggs Is placed
at the bottom Of barrel, and ordinary
black treacle is poured over in sufficient
quantity to cover them Then another
layer is added, and more trescle, and
80 on till the barrel is full. The idea
is that an egg can be kept good almost
indefinitely if the air can be prevented
penetrating the porous she'll to the
contents within. When the eggs have
all been used, the treacle is given a
fresh boil up and is thoroughly salable
again. In Northern Russia the farmers
use warm tallow in precisely the same
way; but this is said to slightly affect
the Asvor of the eggs.

Much of the balel hay that comes
to market is musty. Most farmers
when they bale hay think it need not
be very dry, as the bales are small.
But the amount of hay packed in them
is always sufficient to get up violent
ferment unless the hay is properly
dried before it is put into the bale. If
there was more care used in baling
hay the price for it would be much
better than it is, as the hay itself
would be better worth it

those who are fortunate enough to

care must be taken to gather the nuts

proceed as follows: Rubb the fuzz

with flannel once more, prick again TO

four places and put carefully in glass

They trotted leisurely along behind
the procession Of guests, speaking Of

much TO one side that Elizabeth was
compelled to dismount. 1t took sew
eTal minutes to readjust it, and when
they again started The company were
out Of sight. There was brighter color
than usual in the maiden's checks and
an unwonted radiance in her mild, deep
eyes, and after a short silence there
occurred that which woula be consid-
cred a breach of etiquette in modern
society. for in a voice slightly tremu-
lous Elizabeth said:
Friend John, 1 have matter of
great Importance on my mind, and one
that interests thee. I am strongly i'm
pressed that the Lord has sent thee to
me as a partner for life. l tell my i'm
preston frankly, but not without calm
and due reflection. for matrimony is a
holy relation, and should be entered
into with all sobriety. Thou art to
leave this part of the country tomorrow
thee again, John, I felt moved to tell
thee what lay upon my mind"
In October they were married. They
lived happily together nearly 40 years,
during which time Elizabeth became
famous the country over as a teacher,
doctor and Dhilanthropist. She made
three long, tedious Journeys across the
ocean in the slow sailing ships of the
period to visit her aged parents. In the
meantime town grew up around her
settlement, and as a mark af deserving
respect and honor it was named Had
donfield. Today it is one of the pref
test towns in all South Jersey.
Elizabeth survived her excellent hus-
band 20 years, useful and honorable to
the end. Her last illness brought her
great bodily pain, which she bore with
much fortitude and sweetness of spirit.
The tradition concerning her courtship
is often repeated by some patriarch
among the Quakers, and her medical
skill is yet so we'll remembered that
