AGRICULTURE. MILK SETTING. —"Why," asks one of our subscribers, "docs it lake so much greater bulk of cream to make a pound of butter, when raised from milk, 9et in a cellar, where the temperature is uniformly at Ob degrees or less, than trom miik set in an nppcr room, where,m summer the mer cury stands much of the time at about 70 degrees?'' lie also finds that he gets Jess bntter from a like quantity of milk, kept in the cellar, than in the warmer upper room, a result that accords fully with our own ex perience in setting milk for butter making. It may, on many farms, seem a necessity to set the milk in the cellar of a dwelling house. This happens during the hottest weather, on tarms where there is no good, cool dairy room, above the cellar. It a basement could be built partly below and partly above ground, so as to secure good veutilation, and a comparatively dry at mosphere, very good results might be looked for. The objection to a cellar for milk set ting, is the usual dampness ami want ot veutilation, The air is qot easily changed anil after a room has been used for some weeks for carrying in warm milk twice a day, it becomes much warmer than one that is kept constantly closed. JNearly ail basement air in summer is damp and damp air inciiues to increase the relative bulk of cream, simply because the water that is still mingled with nearly all cream has not had the opportunity to be dried out ot it. Cream raised in a warm dry air is of the nature of condensed cream a very small vuautitv only being required for a pound of butter. There is another difficulty with cream raised in cellars. It is so thin and watery that ordiuary skim mers will not hold it, but let it pass through tne holes ami mix in again with the milk. The cream from deep caus set in cold water is uniformly thiu and watery, and cannot be skimmed, but is dipped off with dippers made expressly for the pur pose, Scalded milk, if set in shallow pans in the open air, throws up cream that repre sents the opposite extreme, being almost pure butter before it is churned. WHY NOT MAKE A LADDER?— There are two principles to be kept in view in mak ing ladders —iigntuoss aud durability. The material should be thoroughly seasoned; basswood makes the best side pieces, al though pine that is free from knots will do. For a ladder 15 feet long, the side pieces should be two inches wide at the top. three and one-half inches at the bot tom, and one and one-half Inches thick; the lop round 14 inches long, the bottom round 28 inches. The rounds should be of tough oak or ash. For a laddei 211 feet in length, the side pieces should be x 4, and lj inches thick; top round 10 iucnes loDg, bottom round oU inches* rouud 18 luches apart from center to center; the holes In the sides for the rounds to center should be one inch Fvery farmer needs a set of ladders, se.y lU, 15, 20, aud per haps 25 feet in length,and then paint them well aud house them if possible, and you will have something useful through a life time. is treating cows tor horn bntileness a stock raiser in Austria found no good re sulting from feeding bone-meal when the water used from a spring was perfectly soft —that is, without mineral matter. But upon changing them to the water ot an other spring, containing carbonate, sul phate and phosphate ot lime and chlorate of magnesia in small quantities, the effects were as follows: First. The animals drank half as much as before. Second. The cows gave more and better milk than before. Third. The worst diseased cows at once began to get better, and this was the first case in which any of them recov ered without removal. Fourth. The oxen showed far Detter condition than could be previously attained on the best of food aud with the mast careful attention. Fifth, No fresli cases occurred as scon as tlie change of wa.er was introduced. BY means of the drainage of land the various chemical actions which take place through the action of the atmosphere on the surface soil are carried down to a grea ter or less extent into the subsoil, for as the water-level is lowered the air enters from above to fill the cavities in the soil. By drainage, also, the depth to which roots will penetrate is increased, for roots will not grow in the absence of oxygen, and rot as soon as they reach a permanent water level. TIIK Shropshire downs possess beautiful symmetry ot form, fine quality and early maturity of all their parts, a vigorous con stitution and graud muscular proportions. They are first-class shearers, carrying a fine, compact, coat, valuable at once for wool and protection from chilling sleet storms. They stand close herding in laige numbers remarkably well, the ewes are good mothers, and twin lambs are not un. usual* PROFESSOR S. T. MATNARD, of the Mas sachusetts Agiicultural College says: "I know of no other reason why the potato fails to produce its true fruit, the potato balls, than that the power of reproduction by seed has been weakened by the forcing process they have been subjected to for the past ten years by the propagation from single eyes, cuttings, etc. O'lier plants, the verbena, for instance, after having oeen propagated several years from cut tings, produce very few, if any, seeds." AMONG all the field crops which the far mer grows there are few,if any, that afford a more certain profit than winter rye, whether it is sown for grain and straw or for a green crop io feed stock in May. ID fact it is a good crop to gtow for an early spring pasture. EvKitY farmer or teamster should exam ine his team harness often to see that no part of it chafes or rubs the skin of his horse—it is a good idea to keep it well oiled, so that it will be pliable arid soft. Take good care of the dumb animals. ESTIMATING nitrogen at 22* cents per pound, potash at 7 cents and phosphoric acid at U cents, the Connecticut Agricultu ral Experiment Station states the commer cial worth of night soil at 30 cents per 100 pounds, or $6 per ton, as the most favor able reckoning. THE prices which were paid by the Na tional Shorthorn Association for the vari ous herd books were as follows: Ameri can Shorthorn Herd Book, $25 000; Amer ican Shorthorn ilecarder, $13,000; Ohio Shorthorn Kecord, SI,OOO. A CLEANING average of about 87 pounds to the 100 was reached for five Victoria swine slaughtered at the Chicago Fat Stock Show, which is quite a phenomenal figure. Anything above 80 pounds may be considered excellent. MUCH of the new Minnesota wheat weighs out sixty-two pounds to the bushel. Its excellence is thus shown wheu fifty eight pounds to the busnel is the standard No. 1. DOMESTIC. FASHIONS IN BEDSTEADS.— The intro duction of the brass bedstead into mod ern homes is, the greatest revolution that has been attempted. A few years ago these bedsteads were entirely un known in America, now one house alone exhibits twenty different, styles, and there is little doubt that they will meet with increasing favor. They are so very handsome in appearance, are so light and so easily moved from one side of the room to the other, and, above all, they are so free from all impurities, as 110 dust collects upon them, that proba bly in time they will entirely supersede those of wood. It has taken time to prove that they do not load to increase of work in the need of constant polish, but a wash lias recently been invented which renders the metal impervious to the influence of moisture, and so din s away with the principal objection to their universal adoption. It is not nec essary to speak ot the marvels of decor ation and carving which arc introduced into the modern bedstead by the fash ionable decorator. Unlimited eommaud of money can secure any amount of it, but it is not altoget her to be deplored that very few persons alter all are 111 this blisstul position. Beds, like other matters, are often the better for being simple, and the housekeeper who sighs with envy for for the ebony bedstead inlaid with ivory or silver may be com forted with the reflection that a hand some brass bedstead, which till tills the iutontiou of its construction, is more ap propriate in homes where dollars are not counted by thousands than the inagmti eeuce of carving and silver would be. SHAWL STRAPS. — Two pertty fancy shawl straps are thus described; Take two strips of French canvas thirty-eight inches long aud thirty-eight inches wide; embroider them with bright col ored Berlin wool, sew tliem down on two strips of leather of corresponding length and width, line with silk, and tinish the edges all around with a crotcli ered border. For the liaudle, take one strip of canvas twenty-live inches long aud three inches wide. Embroider, etc., to correspond with the strap. Sew the ends of the handle over the straps so it (the handle) can be slipped backward or forward, Have the ends ot straps furnished with silver clasps. In iast ening around tbe shawl have the straps close enough together to make the han dle bow-suaped. A less expensive and very pretty strap can be made of strips of stout brown Holland, embroidered or braided, lined, and the edges bound with worsted braid, the ends furnished with steel clasps, or buckles aud eyelet holes HERE is a recipe for a "hard-tunes pudding": Half a pint of molasses, half a pint of water, two teaspooufuls of so da and one teaspoonful of salt, Thick en with Hour enough to make a batter about like that for a cup cake. Put this in a pudding-bag, or a pudding boiler; allow room to rise. It would be safe to have the pudding-bag about half full of the batter. Let this lioil steadi ly for three hours. Sauce to serve with it is made thus: Mix two teaspooufuls of either white or brown sugar with a lump of butter the size of a butternut; a little salt and one large spoonful oi tiour should be mixed with the butter and sugar. When free from lumps pour boiling water slowly over it, stirring all the time. Let it boil up onee or twice to make it of the desired thickness. SAXMON croquetts are asked for, so the recipe is repeated:—One pound can of salmon chopped tine, and add to it one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoon ful of chopped parsley, piece of half a lemon and a dust of cayenne. Mix thoroughly. Put a cup of cream on to boil. Rub one tablespoonful of butter and two tablesi>oonfuls of tiour togeth er till smooth, and 6tir them into the boiling cream. Stir and cook two min utes. Stir it into the salmon; mix well, turn out on a dish to cool. Form into croquette shapes with a wineglass, roll in beaten egg and bread-crumbs, and fry in olive butter; drain a piece of brown paper until not a particle of fat adheres. Serve on a napkin with par sley garnish. Now THAT sausage time is here, the French receipt for baked mushrooms can be tried. The mushrooms must be nicely prepared, and part of their gills scraped away so as to make them some what hollow; this mushroom material is mixed either with some sausage meat or with a concoction of minced tongue or ham, and a few bread-crumbs and butter. Each mushroom is tilled with this stuffing and gently cooked in the oven in a covered dish with a little piece of butter. Whilst cooking, small cir cles of toast, well buttered, are prepared, and a mushroom neatly placed on each. They are served on a hot dish and are excellent. SCOTCH cakes are economical so far as eggs are concerned, and, if made with care, will melt in the mouths of children. To one pound of tiour allow half a pound of butter and a quarter of a pound of sugar ; let the butter stand in a basin near the fire to soften, but not melt; when soft, rub it and the tiour together; then knead in the sugar. Roll out in a sheet half an inch thick; cut out cakes about two inches square; bake until they are a light brown. Put them away in a stone jar, and they will in a day or two gather moisture enough to be soft. COLD SLAW.— Beat the yolks of four eggs to a very light cream, then stir gradually into them five tablespoonfuls of cider vinegar. Add two or tnree ta blespoonfuls of sugar, and stir the mix ture over the fire until it begins to thicken like boiled custard; then re move and add a teaspoonful of butter and nearly a teaspoonful of anchovy mustard. Set the sauce upou ice to be come cold, and pour it over the sliced cabDage just helore serving. Celery is often mixed with the cabbage tor this salad, NEW WAY OF SERVING OATMEAL.— Take a dessert-spoonlul of oatmeal, place it, in the morning, in a tumbler, and fill up with new milk. Let it stand all day, and take it for supper or for a uight-cap. The grains will have been softened by their long soaking in the milk, and it can be eaten with a spoon. This is said by its advocates to be a specific against neuralgia, and is also soundly recommended for sedentary folks. BUFFET-CLOTHS. —Side-board cloths are used to protect the fine wooded or marble surface of the piece of furniture, Canton flannel, in delicate colors, is a good material whers there is not much risk of spots—otherwise some material that can be washed is preferred. A handsome bufFet-cloth can be made of crash—the embroidery running around the outside, and the extreme edges or namented by bands of Mexican drawn work, as delicate as cobweb tracery. HUMOROUS.
