" THE BEST TIME TO SKIM MILK. On this mooted question X. A. Williard writes as follows: When milk is allowed to sour before it is skimmed, the layer of cream appears more bulky aad of greater consistency, but it does not produce so much nor so good a quality of butter, as cream properly raised and skimmed from milk before it sours. On this point we possess some interesting experiments by ban net, who put aside two equal quantities ot milk, of which the first, skimmed after thirty hours, yieldei thirty pounds of butter ; and the second, skimmed after a lapse of sixty hours, only twenty seven pounds of butter. In another experiment, two equal qnanti ties of milk yielded-tbe one when skimmed after thirty hours, thirty one pounds of butter; and the other, after sixty hours, twenty-nine pounds of butter. In both experiments, in which the milk was skimmed alter thirty hours' standing, the skimmed milk was still sweet, and the cream not so thick and less in bulk than that which was thrown up after sixty hours' standing. The cream which rises first is always richer in butter than that which is thrown up later, and it also possesses more of that peculiar aroma which gives the butter that rich, nutty flavor and smei! which impart so high a de gree of pleasure in eating it. When proper regard has been bad to keeping the milk at the right temperature while the cream is rising, and the proper appliances are had in the dairy, all the cream that will rise at all will have come to the surface in about twentv-four hours. Some claim that they can get it all up in less time. Of one thing we may be assured—the quicker cream can be made to rise the better its quality for cream, like all perishable substances, does not preserve its original properties for any great length of time. The best as well as highest priced butter that now goes into the London market comes from the continent of Europe, where the greatest attention is paid to butter making. In Holstein, one of the points considered most essential in butter making is to skim the milk just at the proper moment: and this must always take place before the milk can become sour. Choice, keepable butter can only result when the milk has been kept sweet, as the souring develops curds. The Orange County butter makers observe this principle; and the experience of the best bat ter makers, both in this country and in Eu rope, appears to have settled down upon this principle as the correct one to practice. But while the cream should be taken from the milk before it is sour, the cream, on the con trary, is allowed to have a pleasant acid taste before churning. It appears to be the general opinion of but ter makers, both in this country and in Eu rope, that better results are obtained by al lowing the eream to acquire a slightly acid taste tban to churn it sweet: but this acid condition of the cream must not be confound ed, however, with souruess, which is alto gether different, and arises from different causes, such as standing too long, or from a close atmosphere, or from badly cleansed utensils, of from a general want of care and cleanliness. MANURING MEADOWS. Although grass is said not to exhaust the soil, except slowly, there is abundant evi deuce for the belief that meadows must be manured occasionally. Mr. Plate a farmer of Pennsylvania, in giving his system of man agement, writes as follows : "My land is adapted to all kinds of grain, and to timothy and red clover. My practice is, when I sow a piece to grass, not to plow it again in less than eight years, and I fre quently let it lie a much longer time. I have a meadow now which has been mowed for sixteen successive years, and it never was better than now. In fact, my meadows, un der the right treatment, grow better as they grow older. I do it by returning to a meadow, all the manure the bay made that was taken from it, and sowing a bushel of gypsum per acre each year. In that way the yield of grass is heavier and finer and richer as the sod thick ens. I use manure only for top dressing the meadows ; in that way 1 get double p.-ice for it. It produces as much worth of gra.-s as it would in (train, and also reproduces itself again in the turf. My turf when ready for plowing under, is a ohd body of grass roots twelve inches dec;, or more, and so thick or the top that no soil can be seen. I consider one such turt, when turned under, equal to 160 tons of first-class barnyard manure per acre." To I'BEVENT HOUSES BUM; CHAYED BY HARNESS. —Great care should be taken dur ing the warm weather of summer to prevent horses being chafed by the harness. There are several ways to do this. First, keep your horse in good healthy, condition, clean skin with plenty of flesh between it and the bone Second, keep your harness sort and pliable. And third, use him moderately, and give the skin a good cleaniug alter using him, every time. Much also depends on having the har ness to lit properly. See that the collar is neither too large nor too small, and that the hames are of the right length and shape; giv ing an even pressure on the collar. Keep the face of the collar clean and free from ine qualities. It is a verv unsightly picture to see a horse with sore shoulders and other parts of the hide worn off by the harness. The owner or driver of such a team ought to be ashamed of himself.— Stock Journal. WATERING PLANTS. —It is not wise to be gin to water plants in the garden, unless it is intended to follow it up thoroughly. If plants in the open groond are watered, they throw out their little roots near the surface in order to drink in the moisture, and if afterwards the watering be neglected, these little fibrous roots perish for lack of moisture, and the plant suffers. \\ hen they are not watered at all the little roots go deeper, and in well culti vated soil, in good condition, they will usually find enough to keep them from suffering, un less the drought continue unusually long. If it seem necessary to give water, it should be copiously in quantity sufficient to go down to the bottom of the roots; a sprinkling that wets the surface is worse than none. Syringing the leaves to wash off the dust, if done in the evening after the snn is down, will improve the appearance and health of plants. W UEREvr.t good land is in a fair state of lertility, ad has been niAnured occasionally, clover sod plowed in the Pall and exposed to the cold of Winter, or plowed immediately after a crop of hay is taken off, or still better, if the crop of gTass is plowed under about the time it is in bloom, and left lie until seeding time, will a: ways yield the best crops of wheat. It should then be stirred with a shovel plow, and the wheat should be drilled in. But ii it be plowed late, and the wheat sown before the soil has had time to settle, it is not likely to succeed. Unless well drained, the ground will fill with water, and afterward will con tinually settle and crack, and break np the root* of the tender wheat planta- TUK very common, slipshod and loose method of cultivating the soil is sore to result is failure, as it ought to do.

Hence hardly a fourth part of a crop, is ri--d from soil which should, if ffonerly aeed would yield an abundant faffwwt A HORSE has oo!y one jognlar vein, a man has only three. The withers can nerer be too high. The higher they are the easier the animal travels. The loins should be short, the chest square and the shoulders well devel oped. The veterinary surgeon who said, '"No foot no horse,"' was perfectly correct. The hoof is a curious and complicated mechanism, an elastic box, which expands and contracts as the horse raises or puts down the foot. Shoeing should be done with care and skill, or the natural form of the hoof is destroyed. Above all, so noble an animal should be treated with the greatest kindness, and no pains should be spared to make his bonds as easy to wear as may be. BY means of the drill the wheat is sown regularly and all at the same depth. If the seed is good there need be no allowance made lor wastage as in sowing by hand. One bushel and a peck per acre is plenty, and, if the grains be small, one bushel. It is planted regularly and at a proper depth, and it all has an equal chance tc- grow and to fasten its roots firmly in the soil, by drilling, fer tilizers can also be sown at the same time. A CORRESPOXDE.VT of the Ohio Farmer thinks shorts fed to milch cows make more milk than clear meal, and that ground oats are better than either, but corn meal and shorts mixed make richer milk. He has tried potatoes with moderate success. Of all the roots he has tried, he thinks sugar beets are the best. After trying pumpkins fairly he could see no increase of milk from their use but believes it was a little richer. Immotoue. A iißE.tr nuisance—Bad coal. A GREAT "composer"—Chloroform. MR.

A WRITER asks through the Farmers' De partment of a cotetllporary, if any one can in form a poor roan the best way to start a "little nursery." Get married. A "SERVANT GAI" who had a "follower" told the lady with whom she had a situation that she preferred that he should be kept in ignorance of the fact that she was doing house work as he sunnosed she was "boardiue." "But, father, you know love makes time fly," said an enthusiastic daughter who was arguing in favor of a longer bridal trip than usual. "Yes, my dear, I know it at first, but you will find that in the end, time will make love fly." A BACHELOR returning the other evening from an assembly in a crowded coach, de clared, with a groan, that he bad not the slightest objections to "rings on his fingers," bat he had a most unequivocal aversion to "belUs on bis toes." DISAPPOINTED. —An old woman who went in to the poultry business some time since under the expectation that she could make a fortune by selling eggs, has quitted it in disgust, be cause, as she says, "The hens'll never lay when eggs are dear, but always begin as soon as they get cheap." A MAN exclaimed, "I'll bet a sovereign I have got the hardest name in the company." "Done," said one of the company. "What's your name ?" "Stone," cried the first. "Hand me your money," said the other, "my name is Harder." "Yor ought to acquire the faculty of being at home in the best society," said a fashion able aunt to an honest nephew.

A couple of Yankee girls put a bull frog in to the hired man's bed tc see if tbey could make him talk. Daniel threw the frog out the window and never said a word. Soon after ho put a bushel of chestnut burrs into the girls' bed, and about the time he thought they would make the least shadow, Daniel went to the door and rattled the latch furious ly. Out went the light and in went the girls; but they didn't stick; though the burrs did. Calling to them, to be quiet; he only wanted to know if they had "seen anything of that pesky bull frog; he'd give two dollars to find him." A TRAVELER called at a hotel in Albany, and asked the waiter for a bootjack. "What for?" said the astonished waiter. "To take off'my boots." "Jabers ! what a futl" the waiter remarked, as he surveyed the mon strosity, for the man had an enormons foot. At length—we may say at full length—he gave it as has deliberate opinion that there wasn't a bootjack in all creation of any nse for a "fut"' like that, and that if the traveler wanted "them are" boots off he would have to go back to the fork in the road to get them off. IN one of the courts, a few days since, a very pretty young lady appeared as a witness. > Her testimony was likely to result unfortu nately for the client of a pert young lawyer, who addressed her very superciliously with the inquiry: "You are married, I believe?" "No sir." "Oh ! only about to be married?" "No sir." "Only wish to?" "Really, I don't know. Would you advise such a step?" "Oh, certainly I I am a married man my self." "Is it possible? I never should have thought it. Is your wife blind or deaf?" It is scarcely necessary to add that the discom fitted attorney did tot vouchsafe a reply. A FARMER who was pestered with crows hit upon the plan of soaking some corn in whisky and placing it in the field so that the crows would get drunk, and then he could easily close on them. After scakiug some corn all uight, he put a bountiful supply in tbe field early next morning, and in about two hours he went out to see how things were progress ing, and mark what followed. One old crow, a little larger than the others, had gathered up and taken possesion of all the soaked corn, and had built himself a bar out of some clods of earth, and was retailing the whisky soaked corn to the other crows, charging I bem three grains of sprouted corn for one soaked grain. He hadn't the gall to kill creatures that acted so much like human beings. Primal. WHY ENDURE A LIVING DEATH? The confirmed dyspeptic may almost say with St. Peter, "I die daily."

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. Tbe obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those who have used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, knoif that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it docs al ways--that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of tbe following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted to all ages and con ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody.

Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly care: For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listleeenees, Lan guor and Lout of Appetite. they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liter Complaint and its various symptoms, Bilious Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or Green Sicknete, Biliout Colic and Biliout Peters, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it. For Dysentery or Diarrhct, but one mild dose is generally required. For Bheumatiim, Gout, Grarel, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins , they should be continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these complaints disappear. For Hroptg and Dropsical Swellings they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppressions a largo dose should betaken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus, t Dn. j. C.

For a few months past we have advertised the above Watches at extremely loir prices, and the result has been most satisfactory. Our plan has been to sell the genuine WAL -1 HAM WATCH, in Solid Gold or Silver Ca ses only, and at a very small profit: giving the purchaser every opportunity of examina tion and comparison, and with the under standing that if the Watch does not prove satisfactory, it can be exchanged or the mo ney refunded. These Watches are. without exception, the most perfect specimens of fine mechanism ever produced in any country. Each and ev ery part is made by machinery of the most delicate and elaborate construction. Compared with foreign watches, they pos sess many advantages, excelling not only in principle and finish, but still more in their reliability as time-keepers. As an indica tion of the prices we submit the following: Silver Hunting Watche- 918 00 Gold Hunting Watches, 18 karat,... 80 OO Gold Hunting \\ atches, ladies' size, 70 OO We often receive orders direct from our advertisement, but. prefer that every one should send first for our descriptive price list, which explains ali the different kinds, tells the weight and quality of the cases, and gives prices of each.
