AGRICULTURE,
MILKING QUALITIES. —A copious flow of
milk, sustained through many months, is a
quality which has been produced by art in
domestication. Wild cattle rarely provide
more than enough milk to rear their own
calves, and the flow of It is of compara
tively short duration. Small in volume,
the uiilk is rich in quality; but the lacteal
organs soon dry off again. This, of course,
is m harmony with the requirements of
the young animals iu a wild state, and is a
correlation of the roving life and the hap
hazard feeding of the dams. More milk
than the calf requires under such condi
tions would be a waste of material energy
which nature does not encourage. It would
moreover, be an eccumbrauce to the
mother. Wild cattle are neither good
milkers, nor good latteners, and in parts
of England where calves are allowed to rtiu
with their domesticated dams generation
after generation, the breed of such animals
are not famous for milk-giving. Like that
of the mare and ewe, the milk is smaller
in quantity, rich in quality, and of short
duration." The desultory and irregular
sucking of the calf or foal or lamb is not
oonducive to the development of a large
flow of milk, aud it distinctly tends to
shorten the flow. Rsnd-milkiug of a sim
ilar character has the same effect. Young
people are allowod to learn to how to milk
on cows which are going dry for calviug,
not on those which are still iu full flow.
ISew beginners soon dry up a cow s milk,
aud bad milkers do the same.
Heavy milking properties, then, are ar
tificial, in the sense that they have been
developed under domestication, and, by
careful breedmg, for a giveu end; yet, like
many other qualities, which are little more
than mere germs in nature, they become
heredity by long usage. Few sorts of ani
mals, if any, are more susceptible than
cattle of being moulded into what we
want, no physical quality is so easily train
ed and developed as that of giving milk,
it is a funcdon, which, constantly varying
of itself, can be dwarfed or extended at
will. By means of intelligent training,
Kind treatment, and intelligent hreediug.u
can be developed and made hereditary; an
opposite system keeps it in a state of na
lure. Tne nature of a cow and the food
she receives have a great deal to do with
her milking powers; quick and silent hand
milking cows has all along tendered great
ly to the development of the lacteal glands
and this development has lecoine heredi
tary in our best milking breeds. The ewes
of the Earzae breed of aiicep, from whose
milk the famous Roquefort cheese is made
in France, have been haud-milked lor gen
erations, so that their milking properties
are now considerable and inherited. By
repeatedly exciting the teats it is even pos
sible to cause an animal that has never
borne offspring to yieid a small quantity
of milk, and a cow sometimes remains
barren several years alter having had a
calf, giving a pit fltable quantity ot milk
all the while.
Ho ▼ is IT WITH YOUR brrrKß. —To fas
tiiuoiis persons butter can be spoiled before
the milk leaves the 9table; it can be spoil
ed by the filthy or unhealthy condition of
a cow, by a careless milker, by dirty pails
or pans, and in numberless ways. To avoid
ail this every process should be under the
management of one intelligent and cleanly
person. To begin at the beginning, all ot
the cows should be good, healthy animals
and rich milkers. A single scalawag will
deteriorate the gilt-edge quality ot the but
ter and detract lrom the profits. Then
their feed should be suitable in quality
aed Quantity; the water absolutely fresh
and pure, stabling clean and comlortable,
lree from foul odors. The milking must
be looked after closely to insure its being
done in a cleanly manner with clean hands.
EXPERIENCED feDce-builders and others
who use wood in the rough tor posts, ties,
etc., unite in the opinion ihat timber cut
iu summer, while the bark will yet peel
freely, is much more durable than that
felled in the winter. There is less of so
luble sap iu the trunk and dimbs to absorb
moisture, ferment, and induce decay.
IN husking, be careful to sort out all the
poor ears and soft nubbins. Put only
sound corn in the crib. Give the nubbins
to the p ge. It will not do to feed such
food to hoises;lhey need good sound grain.
Feeding green corn to pigs and fatting
begs should be begun judiciously. Don't
overfeed. For the best results, fatting
swine should be brought to full feed with
quite as much care as a steer.
THE proper way to test the butter from
Jersey cows, considering the rivalry now
existing, is to get all the best animals to
gether and allow the milking* churning
aud preparing to be done under the ob
servation of a committee, as each owner
differs in the quantity of salt used and the
manner of working out the milk, which
may affect the weight.
THE best results from wood ashes are
secured by adding a small proportion of
common salt. Ashes contain all the min
eral elements of the plant, and they exert
a good influence in unlocking fertility that
would not be otherwise available, in burn
iug anything the chlorine it contains is car
ried off witli the smoke and salt, chloride
of sodium supplies the deficiency.
AN old poultry raiser, who believes In
milk for fowls, says, "It is meat and drink
both. Some of the finest chickens 1 ever
saw were raised upon the free use of milk
with their food. Hens lay as well, or
better, when furnished with this than any
known article offered them."
As a wash for the trunks and branches
of lruit trees, Mr. Caarles Downing recom
mends a solution of one pound of potash
ash in a gallon of water. Apply with a
brush at any time, but especially in the
spring. One or two applications will rid
the trees of the bark-louse, aud render the
bark smooth and glossy.
IF you have hens of the right breed and
age, warm and sunny quarters tor them to
stay in, and keep them supplied with eve
rything ibey need, you will have eggs,
simply becaaee hens can no more help lay
ing than they can help breathing.
SCRUB stock is generally fed at a loss
and should be turned over to the butcher
at the earliest practical date, and the pro
ceeds invested in unproved atock, such as
can under ordinary circuit stances be de
pended upon to return the greatest profit
lor the amount of food consumed.
REDUCE as far as possible the amount of
fencing upon your farm, and put that
which is necessary inio first class condi
tion. Fences at best are dead capital,
lieduce that capital to the smallest possi
ble amount.
FIELDS intended for wheat should be
cultivated frequently, especially after a
warm rain. Pmnt food is developed very
rapidly in soil at such a time, and espe
cially if it be a stubble with grain com
mencing to grow.

How TO HANO HAMS.—A wagon loa
ded with hams drove up to a curb near
where a couple of gentlemen were
standing, when one of them asked the
other why it was that nearly every one
hung their hams by the hock or shank ?
The reply waH "I suppose it is more
convenient." The first speaker stated
that it was probably the case, but that
it was not the oorreet thing to do. The
string should be put through the oppo
site eud aud the ham hung the email
eud down. When done in this manner,
families and others would find that they
would rarely, if ever, have a spoiled
ham. The reason given was that the
socket in which the hip joint worked
would collect the juices of the meat
alx>ve it, and having no chance to Alter
through the flesh and evaporate, it
would remain iu the cup or socket, and
then putrify. He stated also that he
always hung his own in that wanner
and never had any difficulty with his
meat. It was always as sweet about
this bone ay auy other part of the lmiu,
it not more so
FACTS ABOUT FLOUR. —FIour is pecu
liarly sensitive to the atmospheric influ
ences, banco it should never be stored
in a room with sour liquids, nor where
onions or tish are kept, nor any article
that taiuts the air of the room in which
it is stored. Any smell peroeptible to
the sense will be absorbed by the flour.
Avoid damp cellars or lofts where a free
circulation of air cannot be obtained.
Keep in a cool, dry, airy room, and not
exposed to a freezing temperature nor
to intense summer or to artificial heat
for any length of time above 700 to 750
Fahrenheit. It should not come in
contact with grain or other substances
which are liable to heat. Flour should
be sifted and the particles thoroughly
disintegrated and then warmed before
oaking. This treatment improves the
color and bakiug properties of the
dough. The sponge should be prepared
for the oven as soon as the yeast has
performed its mission, otherwise fermen
tation sets iu and aeiditv results.
GAME SALADS. —Cold grouse, par
tridge and pliejisaiff may be used in this
way: Cut them into joiuts and put
them into a pie-dish; season with salt
and pepper, and pour over them the
juice of a lemon and about two table
spoonfuls of very fresh salad oil; let
them remain in this for three or four
hours. Having cut up and dried a
fresh lettuce, place it in a tlat dish and
arrange the pieces of game which have
been m the oil and lemon juice neatly
in the centre; over the game pour a
salad sauce, which should be of the con
sistency ot thick cream. Ornament the
top with slices of hard-boiled egg, tillets
of well-washed and scraped anchovies,
and garnish with tiny bits ol parsley.
Cold chicken or the white meat lrom a
cold turkey cut into small pieces may
be treated in this way.
A NEW IDEA IN BREAD MAKING.—
Stale but pefectly sweet home-made
bread can be disposed of in this way:
Soak it in milk or water til! soft, then
mix it with your sponge. Squeeze the
milk or water from it before adding to
the sponge; its presence will never be
perceived in the new bread. A some
what similar economy can be practised
m regard to buckwheat cakes; take
those that are left at breakfast, break
them iu small pieces and put them in
the fresh batter; they wiil soon be com
pletely assimilated, and the eokes will
be even better tor having them in the
batter; they will be of a more decided
brown, and have a smoother surface.
ESCALLOPED TURKEY. —Moisten bread
crumbs with a little milk; butter a pan
and put in it a layer of crumbs, then a
layer of chopped (not very fine) cold
turkey, seasoned with salt and pepper,
then a layer of crumbs, and to on until
the pan is lull. If any gravy or dres
sing has been lelt, add it. Make a
thickening of one or two eggs, half a
cup of milk, and quarter of a cup of
butter and bread crumbs; season, and
spread it over the top; cover with a pan,
bake half an hour, and then let it
brown.
JERSEY PUDDING. —One pint of sweet
milk, live .boston crackers rolled fine
and soaked in it over night; half a cup
of butter, three-quarters of a cup of
sugar, four eggs, oue cup of raisins,
half a teaspooiiful of cloves, hall a tea
spoonful of cinnamon, half a nutmeg.
Bake and serve with "yellow sauce,"
made as follows: One-third of a cup of
butter, beaten light, two-thirds of a
cup of sugar and the yolk of an egg.
Mix well, and pour on it one cup of
boiling water. When it oooks a litttle.
add the beaten white of the egg, stir
ring in a spoonful at a time.
WHITE CANDY —White candy marie
from this recipe has the merit of being
pure: Oue pound of sugar, two-thirds
of a tumbler of water, one teaspoonful
of vinegar, a pitoe of butter the size of
a walnut, half a teaspoonful of cream of
tartar; boil for twenty minutes, without
■stirring. Pour on buttered plates to
cool, then butter your hands and pull;
have a little vanilla or lemon in a sauce
plate aud wet your hands with it occas
ionally.
FOR BOILING EGGS. —For
breakfast boilod eggs, little wire stands
are now sold. They are the shape of a
tiny castor, with sockets for three, four
or six eggs; in the mitiule is a handle—
a long wire loop. Place tiie eggs in
their sockets and stand the egg-castor
In a saucepan of boiling water. The
castor can then be lilted out, wiped dry
and placed on the breakfast table, when
the required number of minutes have
elapsed.
LOUISIANA CREAM CHEESE. —Have a
clear white cotton bag in which to pour
a large bowl of clabber; hang it up, and
Jet it drip for two hours; then empty
iDto perforated cheese moulds of differ
ent shapes—stars, flowers or fruit; let
it remain in them until wanted for tea.
Carefully turn it on a plate, and have a
pitcher of rich sweet cream with sugar
and grated nutmeg in it. Serve the
cheese in saucers, and cover with cream
and sugar.
MENDING JLACE CURTAINS. Old lace
curtains that have little holes in the
nettiag can be made to appear whole
when they are iauudned. Take a piece
of lace, or very thin inusliu, and when
the curtain is scratched starch this piece
also and put it oyer the spot which
needs mending. It will show very little
at all, and the starch will keep it in
place.
IF Mrs. P. will apply dry buckwheat
flour at night she will be delighted to
find in the morning the grease spots
have totally disappeared without injury
to the texture or color of the choicest
fabric. The above is so valuable a fast
that it is a pleasure for me to give the
knowledge to your numerous readers.
HUMOROUS.
A BRILLIANT idea: "Y'ou are looking
bad," remarked Snowberger to Colonel
PercyYerger. "What's the matter?"
"The doctor says my lungs are effected
and that I must not take more than
three drinks a day," "I would try some
other doctor." 'T did, and he said tho
same thing." "Well, then, if each one
of them said you could take three drinks
a day, that makes six drinks." "1 nev
er thought of that before, I'll seethe
rest of the doctors in Austin, and if
they all say I can take three drinks a
day, that will make about sixty drinks a
day, and that is as much as is good for
au invalid."
