You beckon to your horse to come across

He never SHES at piece of white paper

Without bit or bride or check rein he

he may be much wiser than you yourself

lie between you and your destination.

the man-horse stops and adjusts it, and
if you wish to buy newspaper to while
away the time, or basket of oranges
and persimmons wherewith to refresh
yourself, he lets down the shafts ana

the purchase.
If you wish no refreshment and fol

Dairy Notes.

Do not keep a cow that tests below
three per cent in butter fat.
Use cooking soda to clean the milk
vessels: it is better than soap.
Dairy stock can not be improved II
mixing of breeds is carelessly permit
ted to go on.
Salt should be always accessible.
Do not change the feed suddenly.
Clean and thoroughly air stable b.
fore milking
Keep the dairy barn well lighted.
The milk COW needs sunshine, not
alone for health, but to aid in the pro-
duction of milk and butter fat.
Cream failing to churn is usually due
to the milk coming from cows that are
near the close of the period of lacta'
ton.
When butter fails to come after
churning for a long time. it is good
plan to add some water to the cream,
or a small quantity of salt. 1t helps
to contract the swelling mass OF cream
and overcones the viscosity which is
preventing the separation of the granu-
lar butter.
Skill in the dairy is important, but
the art of butter making does not de
| pend altogether upon skill in the ma
nipulation of the milk, cream and but
ter. Inferior cows that are half fed
or not fed properly, will not furnisf
milk of the desired quality for produc
| ing the best butter.-Epitomist

The offended man with the grip turned
to seek satisfaction. but he was barred
in. 1t would cost him five cents to get

MAKE ALUMINIUM PAPER.
Manufactured in Germany and Used
as Substitute for
Tinfoii.

According to United States Consul
General Guenther, at Frankfort, alum
mum paper is now anu.actured in
Germany and recommended as a sub
stitute for tinfoil. 1t is not the So
called leaf aluminium. but real paper
coated with powdered aluminium. and
is said to possess very favl rabie qnsli-
ties for preserving articles OF TODD, for
which it is used as a covering. Chemi-
cal analysis has proved that aluminium
paper contains but few foreign sub
stances. Occasionally it may contain
up to two per cent. of iron. but never
any arsenic or other poisonous metals.
Hence 1t appears that the powdered
aluminium used ier the manufacture OF
aluminium paper is relatively pure.
The paper used is a sort OF artificial
parchment, obtained through the &C
ton Of sulphuric acid upon ordinary
paper. The sheets are spread out and
covered upon one side with thin
coating of a solution of resin in alco-
hol or ether. Evaporation is precipi-
tated through current of air and the
paper is then warmed until the rosin
has again become soft. Then powdered
aluminium is sprinkled upon it and the
paper subjected to strong pressure to
fasten the powder thereon. The metal
lie covering so obtained is neither af-
fected by the air nor by fatty sub.
stances. Aluminium paper is much
cheaper than tinfoil and will, so 1t Il
thought here, become strong com
petitor thereof.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
THE COMPOST HEAP.
One of the Most Important Factors
I'm Farming, Easily Made and
Easily Kept Up.

In these days, when commercial fer
tilizers are SO largely used by farmers,
the compost heap is quite overlooked.
Many, in fact, especially among the
young men, scarcely know the mean
ing az the term. Many regard it as old
fashioned and unnecessary, end as too
troublesome TO pay for itself. The
truth is, it is more valuable for being
ld-fashioned. Many of the best things
are old, for they are the result Of a
wide experience; and this being true,
they are well worth trouble. Every
farmer would do wisely to have COM
post heap as a constant factor in farm
ing. No sooner has he spread one on
his fields, than he should start anoth-
er. Nothing is simpler, nothing Of
equal value to him requires less labor.
His main reliance should be upon II,
together with the clovers, peas and
other turn-under heterogeneous crops
much more than upon commercial fer
tilizers with their highly stimulating
qualities.
1t is easily made, easily kept up.
Stable-manure is its foundation, hence
its proper location is in the stable lot
AS often as the stables are cleaned
(and that should be often), let the ma
nure be thrown into heap near by
and a thin layer of the adjacent soil
thrown upon it, thus keeping shallow
trench around it to catch the rain and
keep the edges of the heap moist, and
also preventing the escape of the am
monia. From time to time light layer
of slack lime should be thrown on,
and whenever practicable woods mold
or swamp mud should be hauled and
thrown on it. So it grows gradually
and as 1t is dug and carted out its in
gradients, fermented by natural heat
and already intermingled by their
contact and pressure, may be more
thoroughly commingled by spreading
and ploughing.
In the same manner a heap can be
formed for the garden, of poultry-ma-
nure. slops from house and kitchen
soap-suds, etc, with some stable-ma'
nure, alternating with layers of gar
den soil.
Experience has amply shown tha
compost is the best direct fertilizer
whether for field or garden. 1t may b
followed up in the case of lands nat
urally barren, or exhausted by over
cropping and bad tillage, with a mod
crate and judicious use of comercia
fertilizers, and it would pay the farme
to purchase the ingredients of thes
and compound them at home, rattle
than pay fabulous prices to manufac
turer or their agents for the read,
mare article. Then, too, he know
what he is using.-H. A. Skinner, il
Progressive Farmer.
