Tho Gcnnun Method of ProHcrv ing Butter. In :i ric< nt tin tuber of the MUrh Z'itiiny, i'r. !•'lt- hni ttn, (Icnii!Ui)H highest authority on matters pertain ing to the dairy, discourses on "Pre served Butter"—not butter preserved by the addition of home antiseptic, but by its own good ipiality, secured by extreme care in it manufacture, and by ean ltd packing in sealed tin cans. The phrase has long been ap plied in Germany and Hutch sea-! board cities to selected butter intend ed for export or for use on shipboard ' in long voyages. It is expected that such Butt, r, for which Ilentnark , lias the highest reputation, v.ii! keep fur two years under any weather,' when so packed. It has a golden color, much like that of fully ripened oat straw. U he n the Ihitsid, of a knif, blade is gently pro*-ed down on its surface minute drops of clear brine should appear, not in the least uiiiky : and no butter, but only droplets of the same clear brine, should adhere to the back side of the tr\rr when drawn out; these qualities should lie exhibited when the sample of butter has sto<s| long enough in a cool room at a temp, ratur, of about .v de- ; gr, < •> lalirenlii it to take this tem perature to the centre oi the in ass. The anah s s,,f sanipb of the butter shows that it c -ntaius an average of only per cent, of sail. 1 per cent, j being usually added to the fresh but ts r, and half of it w,,i ked out. Its reinarkabh keeping qualities | I seem ley 1 • due not to a large pro- | ! portion or salt, nor jet to an unan- ' ; imousiy small proportion of the in -1 trogei., us matter- of the milk, in i which matt* is the decomposition! ending in rancidity is suppo-rd to ! start; it keeps no will largely be cause of llie j, rfeetly untainted con dition of this matter when the butter is lirst made. If, through < are!ess. ne.ss in the management of the miik or cream, eir untidiness in respect to the iite nuls of the dairy, the smallest quantity of tainted nitrogeneous mat ter is It ft in the butter, the set d thus sown may soon spoil the entire mass. The difficulty which all lovers of fine butter living in country towns often find in supplying their want seems to show that carelessness or untidiness somewhere is the rule rather than the exception in the home dairy. It has been found that this long-keeping butter can !• made from sour as well as from sweet cr< am -1 hose who handle it have alsey ob served that summer butter, and es pecially that made in late summer and early autumn, has the; licst keep ing qualities. Much care in the win ter feeding of cows and in keeping their stalls clean and well ventilated is required in order to get butter from stall-fed cows in any season, whether winter or summer, which equals that from cows that run in pasture. Tip Enei Grninn of Corn. That the grains from the lip ends of ears of corn produced the better yield in comparison with those from the butt and center led I>r. Slurlevant to investigate further in order to dis cover a reason. His explanation is that the well-tormcd grains on the lips of the cars had a fuller cbancc lor de velopment in their normal shape, as ft grain of com, if left with ample room, swells on each side and assumes a round form, which is prevented in the centre of the oob, where the grains are flat. Accordingly, the result seems to point to round grains from any part of the cob as the best for seeding. Af extensive catllo and poultry raiser in lowa slates that he has no troublo with vermin on bis beasts and birds when they have a chance to "dust themselves" and havo an op portunity to eatoniens once a week. pi r in* a, i,m Vuluo of Manure. It should lye remembered that the value of manure from all animals varies greatly with the character of the food, and that hog manure should be HO valued from the fact that he it also camivorouH, devouring dead animals and grubs when running at large, anil when shut up in a pen eat ing bones and refuse meats, bread and all the refuse from the table. And all the time that these refuse - are making rich manure they are also making meat, and taking all those advantages there in too much profit for the farmer to lose, and he should save it. Mulching Wheat. At a meeting of the Klmira Tann ers' (Tub the benefits from mulching wheat was di cussed,and Mr. Mc< 'ami stated that lie found that a simple mulching of buckwheat straw gav, good results. As the object i ('■ ; give protection against the ligor- of ' winter, the mulch should be app'.> 1 ! before the ground freeze-, if | ■ ' - ior even after, but not before tin plants bavt made some growth. On that hud been reeded ovt r th< wheat the mulchim: was more beneficial. Cultivating tho Pencil. Prof. Charles A. Go, -man, who has givi n tlie cultivation of the peach much-investigation, is of the opinion that animal manures, a- u-ually ap plied to the s- 1 where fruit trees arc -el, are the rour,-,- of di-mse and death to the peach tree. Thev may stimulate for awhile, but finally ean c di.-euM . 11, re, uinmind- the follow ing formula for an acre as the best fertilizer for a |Kach orchard Su perphosphate, ' | ,;;nds; muriati of potash (high giad, , l v " p, unds . i sulphate of magnesia (crude . b " pounds, The application should b, made annually. llotnti n of Crops.

Asportiiur Produi Many farmers and their v, ve, err greatly in tin ir methods nf sending products to market. I dn< specimens ot fruit an i | <>or one", bar;', j- '.a' and small onc, are thrown together, and as a consequence the br-t is brought down to the grade of the poorest and is sold at a correspond ing price. In picking fruit care should be taken to separate the good from the inf, rior, even though the quality of the one should be much smaller tl an of the other ; then in selling each grade will sell upon its mints, and both producer and consumer will Ik satisfied. This course is particularly needful in gathering strawberries and other small fruits. If the compara tively large Iwrncs are placed in a box by themselves they will always find a purchaser at a high price; and a similar course pursued with the very inferior ones, and again with the medium ones which make up the bulk of the crop, will tend to secure a market for every grade. It generally is unwise to send to j market al all any product that is bruised, decayed or otherwise very ! defective. The presence of such things detracts from the apjiearßncc i ot other articles, and tends to create an unfavorable opinion of liitn who seeks to sell and of that which lieof fcra. For all such fruits and vege- j tables some use should be found at home. If no higher use can lye made of tlicm let them be feel to the pigs or made into vinegar, or thrown on the compost heap. It la stated that nine-tentlia of the apples exported are Baldwins. TnK great disadvantage of cold storage conn-s from tli- f.K-t that fruit thus retard'>l must bo u<d ?lfl soon as tak< n out. I* abm cxpericncs are worth noth ; ing unless from them we ham how we can make a failure, or how we were- able to nut m .1. Hence the "double how'' is what is needed to make things clear. POTATOES do better in a cool soil than in one that if quite warm.

THE I/rarrr* Journal says that with all the dangers from disease, hog-raising, though it requires more labor, is really the most profitable business which farmers can engage in where corn is a sure crop. It is surprising, also, how many fanners : there arc who smn to wholly ignore the fact that any other f<od than dry corn la suitable for swine when it in within their power to keep such stork half or two-thirds of the year on fowl not nearly so expensive. THE pride of the farmer should be in his fields. In their beauty, in their order, in their product lie should place the gratification of his humble and honorable ambition, say s a contemporary. This is all very well as far as it goes, hut we would add : The pride of the farmer should lie in his wife and children—in their- . health and culture, mental and social. A farmer with a family of seven* eight or ten children, well bred, anil trained up, has something to be proud of, and that should gratify an honorable ambition.
