AGRICULTURE. WASHING BUTTER.— Butter gathered in the churn always contains more or less buttermilk, which woula soon spoil the butter if not removed. There are two ways of removing it —one is by kneading in water or brine, and the other by kneading it without water. One is called washing, the other work ing. The former removes it muaii more rapidly than the latter. The flavor of the butter which has been washed Is different from that which lias not been washed. The difference between wash ed and unwashed butter is analog ms to the difference between clarified sug ar 4 and ULclariiled. The former consist of pure saccharine matter; the latter of sugar and some albuminous and fla voring matters, which are contained In the juice of the cane mingled with it, which give a flavor in addition to that of sugar. Brown sugar, though less sweet, has more flavor than clarified sugar. When unwashed, there is always a little buttermilk and sugar adhering to the butter that gives it a peculiar flavor, iu addition to pure butter, which many people like wheu it is new. Washing removes all this foreign matter, and leaves only the taste of the butter, pure and simple. The assertion is often made, and many people believe, that water washes out the flavor of the butter, but it only cleanses the buttermilk, sugar aud milk add which may adhere to It, just as clarifying sugar removes from it the foreigu maner which modi ties its true flavor. The flavor of butter consists ol latty matter which does not combine witn water, ibereloie cannot be wash ed by it. The ettect ot washing upon the keeping quality of butter depends upon the purity of the water with Which the washing is done. If the wa ter contains no foreign matter that will affect the butter it will keep better lor washing the butteruihk out than by kneading it out. KEEP THE CHICKENS WARM. —Fowls sutter more I rum suckle u changes oi the weather than they do from exces sive heat or cold. At this lime of the year colds, croup, catarrh and the numberless ills caused by the chilling air aud stormy weather, are to be cate fuJly guarded against. It is well to rely more on the "ounce of prevention than on the pound of cure." In this climate a mild sunset is often followed by high, cold wluds. :>ee to it that the chickeus are protected at night from these sudden changes. It is indispen sable that for the next few months the fowls be provided with warm, dry quarteis, as they must spend many whole days indoors, keep a good sized box of sand and coal ashes, well spriukltd with sulphur, for their ac commodation inside. In cooping chicks at uight it must be remembered that the want of ventilation will prove as fatal as draughts of cold air. GOOD stock, superior stock, pays for itself ali the time, A herd of cows is well worth wintering that will pay iu milk and butter mauy times more than the cost of their keep. No other kind ought, therefore, to be allowed on a farm. No business man ever expects to make headway against competition by holding a stock of goods that is of Inferior value aud out of fashion; aud a farmer ought to observe the same rule and carry on his hands no stock that is not of the very sort to give him a gooo looting in the produce market. He never can get good milk, good butter, or good beei lrorn poor runts of creat ures whose existence comes undei the head of accident rather than design. Superior stock is the only kind an en terprising and thrifty farmer can aff ord to keep. AN ELEVATED JSTABLE. —It must b3 confessed that the building oi a stable for twenty horses on the top of a pri vate mansion, access to which is ob tained by means of a lift, is calculated to awaken a feeling of astonishment, even in these days of marvels. Yet ihis is the case on a house just erected in Belgrave Square, London, by Mr. Sassoon. Grt und is very valuable in that fashionable part of London, and by relegating the horses to the top 01 the house two birds are killed with one stone, for space is saved and the smell of the stable avoided. The horses do not seem by any means to object to the mode of ascent possibly they are un conscious of icon account of the closed shutters of the lift. How TO GET RID OF &TUMPS —Farm ers who desire to got rid of their stumps, may find something to their advantage in the following recommen dation from the {Scientific American: "In the autumn bore a hole one or two inches in diameter, according to the girth of the stump, vertically in the centre of the latter, and about eighteen inches deep. Put into it one or two ounces of saltpetre; fill the hole with water and plug it up close. In the en suing spring take out the plug and pour in about a half gill of kerosene oil and ignite it. The stump will smoulder away without blazing, to the very ex tremity of the roots leaving nothing but ashes." SOME years ago, a farmer had a horse which had become useless for labor, on account of an attack of heaves. The horse was turned into a pasture field, and allowed the range It afforded, and not looked after for some time. There had been a lime Kiln in the field, and in the basin of the kiln water was standing most of the time. There was no other water in the field the horse was .confined in. Alter some weeks the owner found the horse free from disease, the lime water having effected the cure. CHOKED CATTLK.— To relieve a choked ox or cow, sayß the American Stock Journal,give at once one-half pint mel ted hcg's lard, and exercise the ani mal. It sickens the stomach, and the obstruction will pass immediately eith er up or down, as the animal will cough and swallow at once, and thus get relief. Put the warm lard in a junk bottle and raise the animal's head—it will run down easy. This is the surest and safest remedy known, and never fails il administered soon after the ac cident occurs. HAKNESS that has been soaked with water will dry bard, unless it is dress ed while damp with some kind of non drying oil. First wipe off the harness with a sponge, and then with a cloth kept for this purpose, you can apply the oil or dressing thoroughly. A coating of waterproof dressing given now will be useful, but the harness should tie thoroughly washed and made perfectly clean. Boiled apples and meal are excellent food for fattening hogs. When potatoes are frozen the amount of sugar they contain is doubled, the starch undergoing a corresponding diminution, while part of the protein passes lrom the coagulable into the soluble form. During the process of rotting the potato loses half its nitro geneous constituents and the whole of (he sugar. THE HOUSEHOLD. KKKTING ICE. —In answer to tin sev eral inquiries made of us. we give the following essential rcquistes for keep ing ice in small quantities for a fami ly, whc r e only single boarding is used for the building. By observing these requisites, we have never been out of ice when stored In such a building, with only seven or eight tons stored for dally use tlirough summer and autumn. 1. Perfect drainage at the bottom, which may be effected by plac ing the ice on a ten-inch oven stratum of saw-dust, resting on a floor of nar row planks with cracks between tliem. 2. The square b'oek of ice made Into a solid pile, with ten or eleven inches space on each glde, to be tilled com pactly with saw-dust and troddeu down, as the pile ot Ice goes up. If the tilling is attempted after the Ice pile is completed, crevices and open ings sufficient to ruin the whole w ill be left. 3. Ten Inches or a foot of sawdust on the top of the ice; to be drawn aside while taking up apiece in summer, and imuieJiat ly teplaced. 4. A iree sweeo of wina over this top stratum ol sawdust, throw open win dows under pio)ecting eaves, or through at. opening several inches or a foot wide all around. As an Illus tration of the importance of this ven tilation, on one occasion when tiie owner had been confined by illness, the newly hired man came in and in formed him mat the led was melting settling away, and had already sunk several Inches. "Are the upper win dows all shut?" was the inquiry of the owner. "Indadethey are ail tight and good," "Then go and throw them all open," was the repouse, "and make a mark at the top ot the lee, and let me know how much it has settled in the next ten days." lie came in at the lime appointed. "Well, Patrick, how much has the ice settled?" "Niver a bit lias it settled, not a quarter ot au inch." "All right." [Pittsburgh Commercial (iazetle ] The B't. Rev.

THKKK are some distinguished moan men in Galveston, but the champion mean man lives in Colorado county, Texas, and his name is High McClane. He was in the town of Weimar not long since. He was In search of a cer tain party, and made known his wants at one of the hotels.

The dealer tried to look astonished, and went away saying he would see about it. Next morniug his customer met him with "1 found the milk you leit yesterday largely composed of some earthly matter."
