FOR THE FARM AND HOME. The Tempering of the Cream. ine tempering of cream is one of the most important operations in butter making. This is especially true in cold weather. The different parts of cream are affected differently by heat. A can of creant may be placed in a kettle of hot water and heated till the thermom eter indicates sixty-two to sixty-live degrees without having heated the butter globules in the cream at all. This will not ordinarily be the rase, if is true, but it is liable to bo, and it is approximately so in all eases where tne heating is rapid. Cream should lie kept warm for several hours before churning that it may become warmed through. Or, if it is necessary to tem per it hastily, it should be raised con siderably about the churning tempera ture and suffered to fall back, which it will do in a short time.— Lire Stock Journal. Flat Culture for l'otatoes. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman writes: Several years ago 1 became a convert to flat culture for potatoes, and every season convinces me that this mode is preferable to the forming of hills around tho plants. This season, being a very moist one in this section, fully demonstrated with me that in moist as well as dry seasons flat culture is the better of the two. Just across the fence from my potato patch was a field of my neighbor's, of about four acres, planted about ten days before mine. The ground is alike on both patches—clayey loam. My neighbor manured more liberally than I did. ile adopted the hill method of culture, and I the flat method. In the early part of the season his made a much more vigorous growth than mine; in fact the foliage in his field covered the ground before mine had begun to grow. As the season ad vanced mine gained in growth upon his and maintained greener foilage longer. His ripened about a week ahead of mine, but while his crop aver aged 180 bushels to the acre,mine aver aged 250 bushels to the acre. There was seventy bushels different upon Soil similar, his having the advantage of more manure than mine. I consider that flat culture requires less labor than hilling, produces heavier crops, and the quality is just as good, with all other conditions the same. Fnrm and Unrdtn Kotf\ A Missouri sheep grower advises breeding from polled rams. The ani mals, lie says, fight less, and are never fly-blown around the horns, are more conveniently sheared, keep easier and grow larger. This is his opinion after nine years' experience. Open ditches are a relic of the past. Drain tile not only carries off the water effectually, but enables the fields to be cultivated without the necessity of building crossings over ditches. Ditches get filled up, and become the harbor for weeds, insects, mice and other vermin. Oatmeal is said to be excellent for calves, and some are successful in feed ing wheat shorts, but both are usually too coarse to be druuk with safety with milk. They should be fed dry; then there will be little danger from over eating, which is not the case if given in the milk. An eminent horseman gives it as his experience, after twenty years of trial, that a tired horse can oe be.->t refreshed and strengthened by giving him a quart of oatmeal stirred in a pail of water. This fits its stomach for a stronger food, slakes its thirst, and is indefinitely better than pure water. Poultry manure is nearly equal to guano, and the value of the quantity annually derived from a single fowl is about fifty cents, fully one-half the cost of the feed. Five hens will make one barrel of manure, and on farms where large numbers of poultry are kept, this importance of the fact should not be overlooked. Every ounce should be saved. The Farmers' Review says: On given amounts of food the sheep pro duces for the same weight of dry food nearly twice as much manure as the pig, while the dx produces even more than the sheep. The difference is due to the less, digestible character of the food supplied to the sheej> and ox. The quantity of manure produced during the same time and for the same body weight is, however, very similar with the three animals, the greater con sumption of food by the pig counter balancing the lower rate of manure production. Receipts Ginger Crackers'— One cup of sugar, one cup of molasses, one cup of butter, one tea-spoonful of cloves and one of ginger. Boil all the ingredients. Sift a tea-spoonl'ul of baking soda into flour enough to make a stiff dough; pour the boiling liquid over the flour, stirring all the time. 801 l out thin and bake in a quick oven. Italian Salad. —An Italian salad may be made at any time of the year of any vegetable that is in season, or a suitable mixture of cooked vegetables may be taken for it. If lettuces and endive are used for it, let them be dried perfectly before being used. Shred the lettuce finely,, and toss it lightly with Tarragon vinegar and salt. Place it on a dish that has been made as cool as possible with a dozen filleted anchovies rolled in parsley and a tea-spoonful of capers. Just before serving, toss the salad lightly with a quarter of a pint of mayonnaise, garn ish with boiled beet-root cut Into strips, and four hard-boiled eggs cut into quarters. Crown the whole with stoned olives and serve. Household Hint*. Oil-cloth may be kept bright when almost worn out if, after washing it, you take a flannel cloth and diu a cor ner of it in kerosene, and rub tne oil clotli with ir. Of course, a very little oil goes a great way, and care must be taken not to use too much. An exchange snvs: Some one may wish fo know how to wash a linen duster, in such away that it will not look faded. An old colored linen duster should always bo washed in lukewarm water. If there are any grease spots use a little bard soap, or better still, remove them with benzine. Rinse thoroughly in water in which a third of a cup of salt has been dis solved; the last water must be blue and a small handful of starch put in. As soon as the duster is dry take it down, so that the wind will not blow the starch out. If damped with warm water it will soon be readv to iron. What to Eat. As a general principle it may be laid down that meat, fish or poultry in a state of decay cannot be eaten with safety, since symptoms of irritant poisoning have so frequently arisen from this cause. Hut a little consider ation will show us the impossibility of drawing a hard and fast line upon this point. We relish venison which has partially undergone decay, while we at once reject beef or mutton in a simi lar condition. Again, poultry to be palatable, must be fresh, yet we do not scruple to eat game which is far ad vanced in decomposition. There is no doubt that in many eases we are guided by our palates in determining what food is wholesome for us; for while many of us eat mouldy cheese a Chinaman will swallow bad eggs, and some races en joy fish which we should consider putrid. Even as regards oysters, which are generally relished in propor tion to their freshness, it is sometimes a matter of taste* For example, if is recorded of the first monarch of the House of Hanover that he objected to the English native oystet* as deficient in tlavor. It was privately suggested by a shrewd courtier that the native oyster should be allowed to become somewhat stale before being brought to a royal table. The king at once recognized the llavor which had always pleased him so much at Ilerrenhausen, and gave orders that in the future he should always be supplied from that particular bed—a tiling easily accom plished under the circumstances. The absence of evil consequences after eating food which lias undergone a certain amount of decay is doubtless due in many cases to the completeness of the cooking process; but this does not militate against the general rule that food in any stage of decay is un wholesome and should be avoided. Of late years there have been many cases of poisonous symptoms arising from the use of. canned meats. The cause appears mainly to have been im proper methods of canning, or the use of meat that was tainted before being canned. An examination of the out side of the can is our only available guide as regards this class of articde. The head of the can should be slightly concave, whereas if it be convex it shows that decomposition has already commenced within the can. Some times through careless soldering the preserved articles become contaminat ed with lead, and poisoning by this substance is the result. A Forgoften Duel. Tho tearing down of an antiquated house at St. Augustine, Fla., brought to light a rusty sword. To it is attached a story. Eighty years ago, at a grand ball given by the Spanish gen tleman who lived in the house, two officers came to high words over the attention paid by them to a beautiful lady present. They repaired to the street and fought a duel with swords. One man fell dead. The other threw away his weapon and fled. A little child who had been a witness of the encounter, picked up the sword and carried it into the house. It w;is hid den that at least one evidence of the bloody deed might be concealed. Long after the story of the crime had been forgotten, the finding of the blood stained blade calls it anew to mind. A Clean Steal. London is unquestionably the grea?> est theater in the world for the perpe tration of acts of eccentric criminality, and among them there has probably never been a queerer case than has recently been developed by the recent apprehension of an offender for the heretofore unheard-of crime of steal ing baths. The individual in question would lay plans in regular burglar style for breaking into houses, alwayn selecting the mansion where he knew the surroundii s to be luxurious. Having succeeded in effecting an en trance, he would proceed to,the bath room, where he would indulge in the luxury of a thorough cleansing, and, although he never carried away any valuables,he may be said to have gen erally succeeded in making a clean ste/d.

Animal food ha boon prohibited by poverty and religious t< nets; horses and cattle have bnn very few, vegetables and lisli la\ ing 1 -en tho sol * food; woolen el thing was formerly unknown. Hence t lie farm yard, as a fertilizer, has beeil wholly wanting, night soil having been the principal reliance; the introduction of other fertilizers and of farm stork will, of course, work a revolution. The great staple of the country is -iice, employ ing more than half the tilled area in summer; the alluvial and lowland spots average forty 1 u hels per acre, and sometimes go up as high as sixty and seventy. Wheat, of the variety known here as winter, is grown every where, yielding twenty bushels per a re;it is grown in furrows, cultivated by the mattock, cut by a hand knife, threshed by the tlail, winnowed bv hand and " packe i" in sacks; ground in the most ancient of hand-mills, it is eaten in the form of unfcrmcntcd cakes. An unsuccessful attempt was once made to export it. Barley is more important than wheat, and iR grown and used in much the same way. Sugar is produced fr in Chinese sorghum; the crop is about 05.000,000 pounds, about half of the entire con sumption. Tobacco is also an import ant product, and $*217,000 worth was exported in 188<k Beans, peas and otiier leguminous plants, more than forty varieties in all. are a specially im portant ches of food in .Japan. Chest nuts are also largely eaten. The Irish potato is grown only near the open ports for foreign consumption, but there are five varieties of tlie sweet potato, and they are very cheap. The onion, parsnip, carrot and turnip are staple foods; lily bulbs are grown in several varieties and eaten, and a miscellaneous variety of other vegeta bles is grown on land which also yields a rice crop in summer and a cereal crop in wintt r, the common practice being to sow other things "between," as pumpkins are sown with us. The importance of tea as a Japanese crop is well know 11. Flax is not grown in the country. Hemp of uncommonly good quality is produced, but its importance is lessened by the imperfection of the methods of clean ing it from resinous matter. The mul berry is extending its area. There is, of course, room lor foreign tools and methods, but the thoroughness of the existing land tillage is proved by the results. With the mattock (or broad edged pick) alone the soil is pulver ized until not a lump is left, and with the little old Chinese plow the soil is gone over four to eight times. The farmer is seen plowing with his cow for tho eighth time in the year; he works composts in, and gives his grow ing crops three to ten liquid applica tions at their roots. One acre is said to have yielded seventy bushels of rice, with three and one-half tons of straw, and its owner was then preparing it for a winter crop of not less size. It i 3 not probable that counterfeit meats will ever be produced, but most other articles of footl can be imitated. Imitation Imtter is too well known to need mention. Imitation lard, made of cocoanut oil, is a recent invention, and a few months ago an Englishman wrote to his country paper a letter furiously arraigning the unprincipled proprietors of an American creamery for tlooding his home market with cheese made from lard and oleomar garine. He bad captured one of their contidential circulars and quoted the following paragraph to show the enor mity of their ofhense : " You will be able to judge of what can be done with the bluest kind of skimmed milk when treated with lard or with oleomargarine at the rate of one and a half pounds to the one hun dred of milk. You will be able also to compare the quality and flavor of the lard cheese with that made with oleo margarine. Four pounds and upward of butter were taken from one hun dred pounds of milk before treating it with lard, and.the same as to the specimen treated with oleomarga rine.'' Milk is rarely imitated out and out, though it is sometimes thickened Avith calves' brains and occasionally thinned with|water; but ice-< ream is a favorite subject of the imitator's genius. The basis of a great deal of the cheaper kind is either gelatine or olive butter, which is thickened with corn-starch, swei tened with glucose and flavored Avith the appropriate (thcrs.—l'hila ilrlulua Times.

I had a dull fettling, accompanied with a pain in the right side. Dr. Butler,our family physician, said my liver was out of order, caused by the malaria of the bottoms-. I had always h:id an appetite -like an ostrich, but my digestion became seriously impaired. While Oi the circiiit preaching, I consulted a doctor, who said I had d\ s;iepsia. After that, distressing pal pitation of th J heart fo lowed, and the physi cian said this was caused by my indigestion and diseased liver, which would probably te: initiate fatally. Sometimes I bad a ra \eaous appetite, at others i one at all. I was fivcrish and then chilly. My food seemed to do ma no good. A specialist told mo I had a tap® worm! Then I was troubled with unusual quan ities of water and a frequent desire to urinate, which was done with diffi culty and great pain. The specialist said I had a touch of the gravel, caused by tho use of the alkaline water of the plains. I then began to suffer severe pains in the loins and the small of the back, accompanied with sudden attacks of dizziness, during which I had to sit or lie down, to avoid falling. I was forced to abandon TRAVELING AND PBEACHINd, because I c juld no longer ride on or trust myself out alone. I began to be seriously alarmed, and sought the advice of the most noted physician within reach. He said that my frequent horsib ick riding had jolted and jarred me until the old Indian wound; which had injured my kidneys, had become inflamed. He treated me with medicines and electricity also, but gave me no permanent benefit. My painful symptoms all returned. I began to cough, got very thin and my legs were disagreeably numb. I began to desj air. At each attempt to cure, my ailments became worse, with new symp toms. 1 next consulted a celebrated physi cian from the East, who, after thumping and examining me, stated that I was in an advanced stage of consumption an ! threat ened with diabetes and paralysis! He thought 1 might possibly prolong my life for a year or two, by peaking a higher and drier climate. This was my condition when the j>eople in vour part of the country last saw me. Then I started for the Rockies but liked this country, and settled here. At first the i hinge helped mo, but about three years aio t I out fit ceased. Then I failed so rapid! v ih it I could bo out of bed only part of each day. All my old symptoms returned.

Now a newspaper wi.s a rarity in our home, and I at in my chair looking it over when my cyo providentially fell upon nn nr i le relating a most wonderful cure of Bight's disease—tho very malady that was killingme —by the uso of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure (of Rochester, N.

It was more than A week b fore it arrived, and I was daily cot ting veiker. But it came at last, and lat once began to take it. When I told Dr. Wakefield what I was taking, he gave me a look, half of scorn, half of pity, as much as to say, ' POOB FELLOW ! lie is putting his tiu>t in a humbug.'
