or goose.
If there is a pile of shavinga, sawdust
or other reni.se matter al ut tniils or
factories in jour neighborhood, draw it
and place it on your mauure pile during
tho mild days in winter. Soft shavings
and sawdust may be used as tedding for
cattle and pigs.
Plain white towels may be made or
namental by placing two rows of drawn
work at each end. Th work may be
fastened with red or blue or with white.
The white gives a little nicer lo. k to
the towel than the colored. Overcast
the edges just above the fringe.
No efficient plan has yet been discov
ered for comb.ithig the corn or fall worm
on a very large scale. Fires at night
Lave been tried ; also lanterns suspen
ded obove water, so that the moths stii
king the lantern will fall into the wa
ter. These plans can be used on a
small scale only.
The addition of currant juice to red
or black raspberries is highly iecorumen-
ded ; one quart of currant juice to ten
pounds of raspberries is a liberal allow
ance, he.it the currant juice, add the su-
g nudiwhen it has reached the boiling
add the fruit.
House plants often become root
bound. In such cases tho pot should be
. turnr 1 upside down, the pl.uil held in
ono hand and the contents dumped out.
Then re set in a larger pot. Before re
moving the plant it is a good plan to
thrust a knife into the roots in several
plnces to give root pruning.

An jigrecble dish. for dessert is made
in this .;y : Line a deep pin plate with
a rich crust, put a layer of red rasober-

ma I by Ltaling threo egs' one cup of
powdered suar, a tablespoon t'ul of but
ter ; fljvor with a very little almond
extract, put this smoothly over the jam
and bike tin the crust is don. Serve
with cream.
Pumpkins ar.; easily diiedatid those
wh like car. have, them all the year by
taking a little trouble. Take oil the
skin of the puni; ki;i, cut it in thiu strips
and dry jickl.v over a ln.t stove. The
pieces are as hard as crisp, but a little
stewing will make them as good :.s
when fresh from the field. They will
keep until pumpkins an grown ap.-.in

of the breed used. Cross-breeding
should not be attempted without a de

RULES FOR BUTTER-MAKING.
An experienced dairyman of central
New York has issued a pamphlet de
scribing hie method of making butter.
A few brief rules from this pamphlet
are given below :
Feed liberally ; have pure water al
ways accessible, and keep a mixture of
equal parts of salt, ashes and sulphur
within reach of the cows.
Be suie your stables are thoroughly
ventilated, remove all droppings imme
diately, and freely use absorbents and
deodorizers such as sawdust, dry earth
or cat straw, never omitting a liberal
use of plaster.
When milk is kept over night to be
carried to the factory, the temperature
should be reduced as low as sixty de
grees.
If the milk is set at bomb for cream,
the sooner it can be set after milking
and the higher the temperature the
belter, as the cream rises best aud almost
wholly while the temperature is falling.
Never reduce the temperature below
forty degrees as it has a tendency to
chill the product and injure its keeping
quality, and it also expands the water,
rendering its relative density less in
stead of greater. To go five degrees
below forty degrees would have practi
cally the same effect as raising the tem
perature five degrees, and to that ex
tent retaidiug tlie rising of the cream.
Skim as soon as the cream is all up or
so much of it as you wish to take from
the milk.
Keep your cream, if not churned im
mediately, at a temperature of sixty
four degrees, or below, but not below
forty degrees.
Churn at such a temperature between
fifty-five and sixty four degrees, as ex
perience shows you is best. Conditions
vary tlie temperature for churning.
Stop churning when the butter is in
granules about the size of a wheat ker
nel. Draw off the buttermilk and wash in
clean water before gathering the butter,
until it runs clear. If one washing is
iu brine it is all the better, as brine co
agulates the cheesy matter, which dis
solves and is then washed out.
Salt to suit the customers, using none
but lefined salt. The best American
salt is as good as any.
Tut up in such packages as are de
manded by your market. If for long
keeping, pack iu firkins and set in a
cool, sweet place, and keep the butter
covered with brine.
Air and cool your milk as fast as pos
sible, down to at least seventy degrees
it you carry it any distance to a facto
r or creamery. Do the same if you
make it into cheese at home, though
-
you need not go below eighty decrees if
you make it up immediately.

AVlNTKR MaSAOEMEST OF MANURE.
An excellent field for winter work is
the barnyard. Much may be done thern
by skillful management. Manure, so
Kins as it is frozen, remains unchanged,
and tlie preparation of the manure, in
the best manner for use in the spring,
makes no progress. Make a central
heap in the yard, and, by means of a
plank runway, if necessary, and a wheel
barrow, move the manure from the sta
ble each day to ibis heap. If the heap
is biiilt up square and made four feet
hiirh, it will keep warm in the coldest
weather, and while warm will ferment
and rot. Mixed alternately witli muck
in a hirge compost heap, however, it is
much more profitable. American Home

ITonSKSIIOES. Now that the linr.
shoe, as a pretty symbol of good luck,
forms so much a part of household dec
oration, it may not be amiss to say a
word about its significance in the olden
times. The horseshoe was ancitntly
believed to be an fffectual protection
against witchcraft and witches, who
could no more overcome the sanctitv of
its semi circular form than they could
the movement of a stream, which even
the moat powerful could not cross, is in
the shape of a running brook, as wit
ness the race of Tarn O'Shanter, who,
pursued by them, passed the keystone of
the bridge himself, while the tail of his
good mare, on the wrong side thereof
became the the prey of the pursuing
warlocks. We have sppn tho i.r.rcv.
nailed to the lintel of barn3 and roasts
of vessels, for a witch, mounted 00 her
broomstick, might take it into her head
to descend upon some unlucky craft, or
ebe might call up the surging waves to
engulf it, unless it were protected by
this holy symbol. For a horse to cast a
shoe was an unlucky omen when a gal
lant knight was about to start on an ex
pedition ; hence, if a horse stumbled,
as he would be sure to do if imperfectly
shod, it was unlucky. We do not in
our day believe much in witches or "bad
signs," but everybody is pleased with
the good luck implied in the finding of
a horseshoe. By an old Norman custom,
wntcn tias oeen preserved to the present,
the venerable castle at Oakham is plenti
fully bedecked with horseshoes. The
Lords de Freres were in olden times en
titled to demand from every baron on
his first passing the town a shoe from
off one of his horse's feet. There are
several shoes over two hundred years
o!d, the most notable beiog one given
hy Queen Victoria. The Trincess ol
Waios recently visited the town and in
conformity with the custom, a gilt shoe
with her name inscribed upon it, will be
fastened to the castle wall. In our day
it is not much to give a gilded horse
shoe, as did the Princess of Wales, but
it was a serious thing to an old knight,
who, giving direct from his horse's foot,
parted with his good luck. Brooklyn

is caused by sleeping with the moon

it could occur near England, for people

The prevailing opinion express 1 .

esitr, was opposeu to the old-tiu.e riv
tice of wintering our ahoais ami tu
ering them a year or a year hi.d a-La"t

ZTu
ai.ima. s growing rapidly froai birth t
the botcher's block.
One member, who had practiced a . r
ferent mode for twenty years, exp:a:w ,j
his system. He plauned to have a pr.i.
tien of tlie pigs littered early iL Uji
spring, so as to bare some ready to -at
ten months. Others were litten-! i'
Junt-, when cow's milk was plentiful ! oa
the farm and there is good pasture
The J une litter he kept in thriving t u.
dition the first season and through t!
winter. The next summer he allo,
them the run of the pasture, -with m.
and slops, fattening ;d tne autuu.r.
when they would average four Lul J.j
pounds.
The secretary of the Club, an ajTj
cate f.-.r the practice of h avitiT t.i v.
j tered in the spring, advisrj feeding
t T . i Ira F . .r- H. C. . ... . . '
t.. inn uii an rnuaius on clover
Ieas, middlings and skim milk aud oih
er feed in which the albuminoids pre
dominate, the leading or-ject dur-2
these roonhs being the rapid makhIf
muscle aud bone rather thin the !ai:
on of fat. A good clover pasture w'iih
milk and mill-feed promotes radid gu'w.
ing until mid summer, when glean. l-s
of the wheat stubble, a crop of
peas or the like canies them on until
the first of October, when the final ui
tening process begins. At that season
the secretary believed that no ovJz
rood makes good, solid pork faster tUn
old cornmeal cooked. Whether it al
ways pays to erind and cook the com s
another question.
The president's experience has 11
him to believe that pork can be made
more rapidly on coofced barley meal than
on corn meal. A member reported sue
cessful resnlta with a feed of oats and
barley mixed with corn meal. His ob
servation had been that old hogs thrive
better on cornmeal alone, while younr
imiiia.a lequire a change of food.
The members agreed that the sta'a
of the market is an important factor ja
deciding the most profitable tin,- t0
butcher and sell. The opinion was
however very generally expressed that
it does not pay to keep hogs long afr
extreme cold weather sets in. Unless
the auimals are warmly housed consid
erable -loss of flesh occurs, as the fat
forming ingredients are expended irt
keeping up the vital heat. y(c Y -i

On the Masagejient ok Bees.
The wintering of bees is a very import
ant point, the hire wants to be of pood
size. The movable comb hive may be
well enough, but the disturbing of
brood comb is bad business. A hive
that the main body of is not more than
eight or ten itches Fquare, will Lardly
hold honey enough for a good sized
warm of bees to winter on, and would
afford too little comb for breeding pro
poses and too small to be profitable.
The cellar, if diy. would be a good place
to winter bees in; if damp, the comb
will mold aDd spoil. I Lave had them
winter well under snow eovered up.
If the snow melts aud ruus down on the
hive and freezes it may kill them, an.l it
is not a sure way of their wintering
well. To pack the hives in straw or
boughs, so as to interfere with the ven
tilation is injurious; ths dividing o!
swarms to increase the number of
swarms is bad business. It is much
better to put two late swarms into one
if they are small swarms. If a hive of
j bees gets overpowered by other bees
robbing them, it is about as well to
take them up as to stop them up. les
sometimes, and most always, waste a
good many iu the spring o the year Ly
their failing on the suow, and are una
ble to get back to their hive, and in ttat
case it will hardly pay to stop them in ;
it is about as well to let them come and
go as the please ; if you lose some they
w ill soon fill up again. Bees should Le
kept near the house, so that when tLey
swarm tbey can't very well get away
without being seen ; it is a great loss if
you lose them. Give them a good-sized
hive, and in a good season they will do
yov a nice job of work, I have no doubt.
