The object of working batter is to
get the salt evenly distributed aud to
eXpel portion of the brine. When it
is worked but once, the butter-maker
thinks it is worked enough, and packs
lt-immediately But there is. ut that
time, no way to tell whether the salt
has been evenly distributed or not. A
few hours afterwards he samples the
butter, and finds it notified, which will
seriously affect the selling price. He
knows the cause is unequal sailing,
that the portions which have salt have
changed to deeper yellow, and the
unsalted portions have remained of n
lighter color. With the next churn-
ing he Is determined to remedy this.
and be sure to work enough. The
chances are that this time it is worked
too much, so that the grain is injured
and the butter has a greasy appear
ance. But after practice and the exer-
else of good Judgment these errors can
be avoided to n great extent, and Il
fairly uniform and even product pro
duced.

A HOusc on Wheels.

III the novel car recently introduced
on big railroad line proves to be a
success, many hotels in the country
towns that have lived largely on the
patronage of commercial travellers
will lose this custom. The projectors
say 1t means the saving to wholesale
houses-of thousands of dollars. The
car is a home on wheels for travelling
men. One end is furnished with
lockers or shelves for the storage Of
ssslfi55. ( ne 0theI 10 furnished on
the general plan OF IA houseboat. There
are several compartments. in each Of
which there is bed and other pieces
of furniture usually found in a small
room. At the extreme end is little
kitchen. There are accom- N odations
In this car for nine persons, and no
one Is cramped. The car stops one or
two days in each town named in the
schedule, the length of the stay being
determined by the size of the place
The car pulls in and the drumme RS
take the place by storm. If they can
not carry their samples to the stores,
patrons ore asked to visit the home on
wheels. At noon the travellers meet
~ the car for dinner, and at night the
car Is attached to an outgoing train
and pulled to the next station. There
It Is side-tracked, and the occupants
nave1r comfortable nights rest before
another days work begins.

If the aggregate annual loss of hay
by being spoiled in stack could he def
nitely determined, the long string of
figures required to express the loss
would probably astonish the most of
us. Besides, much of tho hay that is
not thrown out as spoiled" is dusty
and of low value as compared with its
condition when stacked Glover is
particularly difficult to keep in good
condition. 1t should be very carefully
stacked, keeping middle very full, and
covered with long grass or other pro
tective material -Epitomist.

The strength of the draught horse
enables him to make good time for n
short sprint, despite the excess of
weight he carries. But unless on soft
dirt roads fast driving of draught
horses should not be attempted, be-
cause the excess of weight makes the
pounding of the horses feet on the
hard surface all the more severe. 1t
is well known that heavy horses are
quite apt to have defective feet. This
we believe to be the cause Kept to
their appropriate pace Oh the road
aud on the farm draught horses will
live and do good service years after
they are twenty years old. 1t is ner-
vous worry that shortens life, rather
than hard, muscular toll, both in
horses aud in men.-The Silver
Knight.

Complicated.

Many are the peculiar twists given
to our complicated language by the
too liberal translator. An American
had some business to transact with a
German whom he had never seen. II
was agreed by letter that the Ameri-
can should go to the town in Germany
where his correspondent lived and that
the German should meet him at the
railroad station: A telegram was to
be sent by the American notifying the
German as to the day and hogr 90 his
coming and the train, and telling the
German how TO recognize the Ameri-
can Ihe telegram was sent and re-
celved. The German got out his Eng
lish-German dictionary and carefully
translated the telegram, and then he
grew wild with despair. He rushed
out among his friends, exclaiming:
How am to recognize a man who is
tall, and short, and fat, with money in
his hat?" No one could enlighten him,
though he went from one to another,
asking the same question, until the
train was due. "How shall L know
him?' the German walled as he made
his way to the station. Tall and
short and" he was repeating to
another friend in the station, when his
friend interrupted him. LET me see
the telegram" he said The German
produced 1T and the puzzling part
read: LOOK for a man, who is tall. a
little stout, with checked cap" The
TREND translated it properly, and the
German had no difficulty in picking
out the American among the incoming
passengers.

For Bicycles and Bags.

A pretty bit of iewelIy designed for
use is the puzzle lock bracelet, tho
chain of which is secured by lock
formed of three revolving pieces en-
gravcd with figures or letters. Only
by arranging these i'll some particular
combination forming n private code,
can the lock he opened, and as the
figures may make an immense numbe
of combinations, the "open sesame" is
well nigh impossible of attainment
except by the owner. The idea of this
device is that the bracelet can be taken
of and used to chain bicycle to the
ratings while the rider is in a house or
store, IA fastening to travelling bag,
and for many other purposes of the
sort. Most persons would be apt to
suffer qualms of anxiety in leaving it
as n lock to n bicycle but for the
maker s assurance that these bracelets,
which are made i'll variety of designs,
are so strong as to render the length
of time required for filing them
through n risk which the bicycle THE
would not venture to incur, while it is
impossible to freak the lock or to open
it in any other way than by the
mysterious code.

Cure For Pig Eating Sow.

As soon as the pigs arrive take them
away and with three old iron barrel

Place one of the hoops just back of the
fore legs, another just in front of the

Pad the hoops with bran sack or
some old bits of cloth Place strap

A Clever EIcphant.

This story is related by Sir William
Gregory. Two Coburg princes visit
ing Ceylon, where Sir William was
governor, had expressed a desire to
see elephants at work. "There were
no elephants,' he says belonging to
the department of public works at
Handy, where we were staying, but
the guardian of the tenn pie lent us r..
couple. They did everything they
were ordered to do with their usual
intelligence, carrying large stones
Wherever they were told to place them,
liking the chains to the stones and un-
liking them. One of them, a tusker
apparently of his own accord, per-
formed an act which greatly struck all
of us. He was carry ing a long and
very heavy stone down steep de-
clivity. The stone was suspended from
his neck by n chain, and, the chain
being too long, the stone struck re-
peatedly against his knee He stopped,
made what sailors call a hight of the
chain, gave it aSoll around his tusk,
and, having thus shortened it, carried
the stone to its destination without
further discomfort"

Novel Telephones.

On ranch in California, it is stated
telephone communication is estab
lished between the various camps, and
also with tho public system, by means
of barbed wire fences. Insulators are
not required. The lines are raised
over the gateways. The wire fences
will not carry as many connections as
single wire insulated but in general
way this novel telephone is a success.
1t is said that similar systems are in
existence in Texas.

Making Horses Eat SLOWLY.

Many horses, especially if fed grain,
eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. If they took longer time
to masticate it there would be less
grain voided in their excrement. A
good way to compel slow eating is to
mix with the grain few clean pebbles,
that will oblige the horse to gather his
food slowly. A still better way is to
grind the grain and mix the meal with
three times its bulk of cut hay, or twice
its bulk of straw.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
How to Keep the rabiecioth.

When the tablecloth is removed
after n meal, it should not only be very
carefully folded in the creases into
which it was ironed, but it should be
laid away under some heavy weight.
a small marble slab, if procurable, is
excellently adapted for this purpose.
If the well smoothed cloth is laid
beneath it three times daily, it will
keep its freshness remarkably and
last much longer before need OF
change.
