Fluctuations In Wooj|.
A correspondent deplores the
opon tke sheep interests of the fluct
uations in wool which have markfed
the previous history of this country,
and declines the-great necessity of
the country, to be stability and uni-1
fortuity. This is all true enough, I
and to secure this stability and Uni
formity sheep-growers should resist
all change in the tariff laws. They
have been one fruitful source of
I c! mge and uncertainty, and it would
seem as if the Government could not
adhere to one line of policy in refer
ttre to the wool interest. But the
tariff has not been the only source of
ttse fluctuations. The enormous
production in South AmericayAus
tralia, and Africa, have
broken down the foreign markets to
fich a point as to seriously influence
t e American market, even when
protected by the most stringent tar
i This matter, however, appears
fo have regulated itself; and if we
my judge by the conition of foreign
markets, there is very little
prospect that the interests of Amer
-lon wool-growers will be seriously
Reeled, for many years to come, by
recessive productions in the
hemisphere. There was no time,
: our estimation, when the outlook

Adulterations of milk
■ "According to Mr. Alfred Wank-
Jyn, the most common modes of
ad alteration of milk consist in re
moving the cream in greater or less
quantity and in adding water; and
consequently the testing of milk
resolves itself essentially into the
detection of the skimming and wat
ering, and the measuring of the ex
tent to which these ave
been carried. For this purpose he
finds it most satisfactory, first to
estimate accurately the normal com
position of milk, or at least the av
erage limits of variation in this
respect, and then to find out what
deviation from this average is pre
sented by any given sample. The
result of many inquiries on his part
is to show that the solids left by
evaporation of cow’s milk vary com
paritively little, in different animals
or in different seasons, and he thinks
that a range of from 5 to 12 per
cent, expresses about the average
amount of these solids.
To 801 l Potatoes
In Ireland potatoes are boiled to
perfection; the humblest peasant
places his potatoes on his table bet
ter cooked than half the cooks in
this country by trying their best.
Potatoes should always be boiled in
their “jackets peeling a potatoe
before boiling is offering a premium
for water to run through it and go
to the table waxy and unpalatable ;
they should be thoroughly washed
and put into cold water. In Ireland
they always nick a piece of thoskin
off before they place them in the pot;
the water is gradually heated, but
never allowed to boil; cold water
should be added as soon as the wa
ter commences boiling, and it should
thus be checked until the potatoes
are done ; the skins will not then be
broken or cracked until the potato
is thoroughly done; pour the water
oft' completely, uncover the pot and
let the skins be thoroughly dry be
fore peeling.
Blackberries. —Set out in rows
six feet apart, and allow from four
to six feet between the plants, ac
cording to the variety. Cut the
plants back to six inches before
planting, old plants should
have their capes cut back to four or
five feet.

In fact if yon were to ask the children I’m afraid
t hey would say they liked it almost as well as they
like me. It speaks every day the year round and
never looses its voice. 1 wish its owner could do
half so well.”
