ITow Sri.i.ixo MILK IMTOVKRISHES
THK >OU.. —From what has been said
about tne soil occasioned by tlie mak
ing and selling of butter and cheese, it
will be readily understood that where
milk is sold, all the mineral and nitro
genous constituent.* which it contains
are lost to the soil. These elements
have been estimated at fully two-thirds
ol all the cow consumes; and although
this looks to he a large loss, it is with
out -doubt correct. Prof. .1. P. YV.
Johnston >ays: "Every torty gallons
of milk contains one pound of bone
earth, besides other phosphates. Esti
mating a cow to yield 750 gallons of,
uiilk per jear, it will require lb pounds
of pho-phale, equi\uknL to 50 pounds
of bone uu.-r. It the call is sold off.
we may assume theie is a loss ol twen
ty pounds of bone, and the waste ot
phofphate in the urine equals tour
pounds. Aud thus, lor every cow a
dairy larm maintains it will loss of
taiiby i hospliates as much as is con
tained in titty-six pounds ot bonedusr.
'lbis shows what must be returned to
the soil, where milk Is sold,if complete
impoverishment ol the land would be
guarded against. YY e arc well aware
this presentation of the subject is not
a new one, but we have deemed a re
capitulation of these tacts desirable on
account of many recent statements to
the efleet that "the selling if milk is
the most profitable branch of farming,
where cows arc kept." It does call
fe>r a less outlay of care, work and
money, without doubt, but unless pur
chased manures are largely made use
of there will be a constant drain upon
the reset ved fertility of the lariu.
'litis provided l'oi dairying is profit
able in litis order; first, butter making ;
second, cheese manuiacturc; third,
selling of milk.
DIARRBGEA ixF OWLS.— lit centacieutl
do re*eaiches have proved that this di
sease is caused by a miscroscoplc or
ganism which is developed in the in
testines, passes into the blood,and mul
tiplies itself there with extraordinary
rapidity. The parasite is ejected from
the bowels, and may be taken by birds
who pick about among the dung-heap,
or eat the grains that have been soiled
by contact with it. If a fowl dies, and
there is any cause to fear that diarrhoea
lias caused its death, the birds should
be immediately taken our of the poul
try yard and isolated. The poultry
yard and poultry-house should be well
c/esnsed, tbe dung removed, and the
walls, perches, and soil washed with
plemy of water. The water used
should contain live gr: mines \ er litre
of sulphuric acid, and a still' broom or
biusb should be employed. When fen
days have passed without a death oe
curlng. the birds need remain no long
er isolated,excepting those which shows
signs el piostrat.on, depre?sion, or
sleepiness. These simple means will
be found sufficient to stop the progress
of tbe contagion, and to prevent lis re
turn. if they are employed as soon as
the dhcftse makes its appearance, they
will reduce the losses to au Insignifi
cant figure.
SWARMIXG EXTRAORDINARY.—D. X.
Kern relates in the Ohio Fanner the fol
lowing experience with a swarm of
Dalian bees: The first swarm came
out May 5, and was put in a hive filled
w Ith comb. Oil the 19th of May the
second swarm came out,and was hived
with a weak swarm. Un the 20th
the third came out,and was hived with
the second and the weak swarm. On
tbe 21st the fourth swarm came out.
Mr. Kern caught the queen and killed
it, and put the swarm back to the old
colony. On the 23d the fifth swarm
came our. lie caught two queens and
killed them, and put the swarm back
again. On the 24t'n, at nine o'clock A.
M., the sixth sw arm eame out. lie
caught two queens again and killed
them, and put the swarm back again.
The same day, at three o'clock P. M.,
the seventh swarm came out again*
This time he hived them in an old straw
hive, and set them 011 top of Ihe old
hive. In the evening of the 23th he
shook them down in front of the old
hive agiin, and thai settled for the
time tbe swarming fever of the old
hive. But 011 ike 26th of June, the first
young swarm threw out a very large
swarm, auu on July 3i threw outa sec
ond swarm, and about five mluutes
later a swarm came out of the old hive
again. He hived both sw arms together
and tela them for S2OO cash. All
these sw arms made 235 pounds otcomb
honey.
SMALL COMPOST HEAPS. —AII farmers
know the value of "compost" and how
to prepare it. Many farmers manufac
ture hundreds ot loads ot the best man
ure in this way. 4 hey gather together
on the premiets forest leaves, £Ol n
ofl'al lronr lencc-corners, muck lrom
stalks,including the roots,weeds,vinrs,
poLds and duches, occasional sprink
lings of iitne through the mass, layers
ot barnyard manure, ami thus builu up
oblong squares aud let it remain over
winter. When April arrives the mass
has gore through fermentation and
comminution, and presents a mound of
fertilizing matter beitsr than a small
gold mine would be to the proprietor
of the larm. But we want to see these
compost heaps in the garden,and there
is no reason why they should not be
there as well as upon the larm. There
is rubbish enough in the garden, with
the assistance of ieaves, some mold
from the woods, if attainable; if not,
from portions of the premises it can be
spaied; eciapings from the turnpike;
muuuie from the stauie, and every at
tainable substance that will decay
thruugii the winter. A little slacked
lime w ill be a good assistance. A hall
dozen 10 a d."zen loads ot excellent
manure wiil be manulactured by the
lime it is v. autod in the spring, without
incurring scarcely any expense.
THE VALUE OF STRAW.— Three hun
dred and eight}-three pounds of oat
straw is equivalent to JOO pounds of
lirst-class timothy liay lor food for
meat stock or horses. Wheat straw is
about the same in this particular, while
it takes 479 pounds oi rye straw to
make as much nutriment as there is in
a hundred pounds ol hay. Now U these
figures are oorrect, and from the ana
lysis made by competent chemiets,
tuere is no room lor doubt on thaiscore,
it will be seen that such ol the larmers
the state who annualiy burn their
straw are inflicting on themselves a
loss that in tne aggregate amounts to a
gcod deal of money, while feeding
straw exclusively to stock cannot be
recommended. Its use once or twice a
uay on the farm is valuable and in
many instance young stock will thrive
on it ail winter, even when they have
no other food. Asa inattjr of course
the stock is all the better lor a daily
allowance ol hay, but lu no event
should the straw on the farm be de
stroyed by burning it.
IN Saxony dairies, milk is kept from
souring by passing a thin iron chain
througn the milk pans, the ends oi
which chain are kept constantly in cold
water.
DOMESTIC.
RAO C'ARMCTS.—A lady of large ex
perience, in making these carpets, says
that tier way of collecting materials
for them Is as follows: YY'hen a gar
ment is laid aside for good, my prac
tice Is to rip it to pieces, wash tho
roughly, and cut, sew, and wind It
into balls. I have a tight barrel,
with a paper spread over the bottom,
and a sprinkling of fine tobacco scat
tered over it. I put my balls In the
barrel, and every spring cut the rags
at my leisure. The children can sew
and wind them just as well as anyone,
i sprinkle fine tobacco over the balls,
and tuck an old sheet over them, cover
the barrel up tight, and it is all ri ,T lit
till 1 get ready to add another contrib
ution. In this way I get my rags
ready and keep the bouse clear trom an
accumulation of old. dirty garments,
that are a nuisance any way. In mak
ing a carpel I allow a pound and a
quarter of rags to fill a yard of cloth ;
tor a room twenty-five feet square 1
calculate to have about thirty-live or
thirty-six pounds of rags. If there are
any odds or ends left over, they are
woven into a rug, that can be spread
before stoves or doo r *. I never expend
time or labor coloring rags. The last
carpet 1 made had rags enough tor
seventy-eight yards, and I never felt
the labor at all; it was done at odd
jobs, and I wa- astonished to find I had
such a quantity finished. Allow three
knots and a half of wa-p to the yard.
The labor ut' reeling aud coloring the
warp is tlie hardest part of the
work for me. 1 know ever so
many people who color and
pass a whole season over a carpet; but
when it Is done, it Is only a rag-carpet.
The prettiest one I ever saw was just
browu and blue, narrow stri| es of each
and shaded trom dark to light; a little
black was woven In to give the dark
contrast. One reason why we enjoy
1 rag carpets is this : We are not afraid
to u.-e them, and when one is worn out
we can make another just as good.
Sweeping carpets wears them out taster
than using them, by half. Astifl'broom
should never be used on carpets; pick
ing up shreds aud bits is the best way,
aud brush the dust ofl' with a soft brush.
FISH FOOD.— Mackerel must be per
fectly tresh, or it is a very indifferent
fish; it will neither bear carriage nor
being kept out of the water. The
firmness of the fish, and the clearness
of eyes, must be the criterion of
iresh mackerel, as they are of all other
fish. Cod is known to be fresh by
rigidity of the muscles (or flesh , the
redness of the gills, and clearness of
the eyes. Crimping much improves
this.
iS'u/mon—The flavor and excellence of
this tish depends upon its freshness,
and the shortness of time since it was
caught, for no method cau completely
preserve the delicate flavor it has when
just taken out of the water.
Fresh lVutcr Fish. —The remarks as
to firmness and clear fresh eyes ap
ply to this variety of fish, of which
there are carp, tench, pike, perch, etc.
Lobsters, recently caught, have always
some remains of musclar action in the
claw s, which may be excited by press
ing the eyes with tiie linger; when
ibis cannot be produced the lobster
must have been too long kept. When
boiled, the tail preserves its elasticity
if fresh, but loses it as soon as it be
comes stale. The heviest lobsters are
the best; when light they are watery
and poor. Hen lobsters may generally
be known by the spawn or by the
breadth of flap. Crabs Inust be chosen
by observations similar to those given
above in the choice of lobsters. Crabs
have an agreeable smell when fresh.
Shrimps, when fresh, are firm and
crisp. Oysters.—lf fresh, the shell Is
firmly closed; when the shells of oys
ters are open they are dead and unfit
for food. The small-shelled oysters
are the finest in flavor. Larger kinds,
called rock oysters, are generally con
sidered only lit for stewing and sauces,
though some persons prefer them.
FOOD FOR FAT PEOPLE. —There are
three classes of food, the oils, sweets
and stareheß,the special otlice of which
is to support the animal heat and pro
duce fat, haying little or no influence
in promoting strength of muscle or en
durance. It the lat, therefore, would
use less fat and more lean meats, flsh
and fowl, less of tine flour and more of
the whole product of the grain—ex-
cept the hulls—less of the sweets, par
ticularly in warm weather, and more
of the fruit acids in a mild form, as in
apples, sleep less, be less indolent and
labor more in the open air, the tat
would disappear, to a certain extent,
at least, with no less of real health. In
food we have almost a perfect control
in this matter, far better th in we have
in the use of drugs. If we have too
uiuch fatand too little muscle, we have
simply to use less of the fat-forming
•dements, and more of the muscle food,
such as lean meats, fish and fowl, and
the darker portions of gra us.
ANGEL CAKE.— One and one-half cups
of granulated white sugar, one cup of
flour, one teaspoonful of cream of tar
tar, the whites of eleven eggs, one halt
teaspoonful of salt,mix llour and cream
of tartar thoroughly together and sift,
beat the eggs to a stiff troth, beat In
the eggs aud teaspoonful of vanilla,add
the flour,which should be heat in light
ly but thoroughly, and bake slowly
for forty minutes.
HAY QUILTS. —Experience on cold
nights among the Swiss mountains has
proved that for winter warmth there
is nothing equal to a hay quilt. Tins
is nothing but a large square cotton
bag,with a few handfuls of hay shaken
into it; but is as warm as two or three
blankets. It need cost almostnothing.
The breadth? of a very old cotton dress
run together, or old curtains, or any
other washed out material, will do for
the large double squares, which should
be as wide as the bed they are intended
to cover.
TREATMENT or BOILS. —Boils should
be brought to a head by warm poul
tices of camomile flowers or broiled
white lily root, or onion root by fer
mentation with hot water,or by stimu
lating plasters. When ripe they should
be destroyed by a needle or a lancer,
but this should not be attempted until
they are fully proved.
To PREVENT MILK SOURING. —An
effectual remedy for milk turning in
summer time consists in adding to
each quart fifteen grains of bi-carbon
ate ot soda. This does net affect the
ra-teofthe milk, while it facilitates
the digestion.
To REMOVE GREASE, ETC. —An excel
lent recipe for removing paint or grease
spots from garments may be had by
mixing 4 tablespoonfuls of alcohol
with a tablespoonful of salt. Shake the
whole well together and apply with a
6ponge or brush.
GLYCERINE SOAP. —Take toilet soap,
slice and melt with gentle heat, and
add to one pound of soap one ounce of
pure glycerine; when sufficiently cool

thirry-flve drops of chloroform were
inhaled from a handkerchief in order to
relievo the great pain which these trials
caused, and the article was then c.-a-ily
