¥FaRkM NOTES. sh m——— Ussarrip Burrer.—How many persous are there who would turn up ter noses at mention of unsalted butter? lens fic to eat! exclaims the opinionated person who does not koow what lv i» talking about. Well, it is a matter of waste. But travelers from Europe have the greatest diffi- entity in beco ning accustomed to our asrong, old, iriuy butter, They can- pot eat it at fi st, any more than the American ean endure the pretty, tiny pellets of fresh butter that meet bom at every hotel in Europe, Bat amin, so a ¢ mmodating is human mture, that, ones forced to accustom Bamself to the unsalted article in E rope, Le, too, tinds American but. ter briny and flavorless, The truth is that the mot delicious butter is thy which left unsaltad. For marke’, of course, it will not keep many days in ihe fresh state, but even thn iwice as wuch salt as is peces- sar. is often put into it. The salt makes it acr.d, aod destroyes wholly the exquiste coum and grass flavor, For use in w.ahetic homes, sets of tiny separate nioulds, in the shape of a strawherry cr s mething else pretty, should be had [lake the butter un- salted, work the wilk out, mould it in rich colored little gems in these, and putit upon the table in that shape. It is as attractive to the eye as flower or fiuit, and the taste of it upon warm biscuit or snowflake light bread—well, try it, that is all. Fegritizisa with CLovEr.—As regards keeping up the fertility of the farm bought manures are too ex- peasive, and it is hardly possible to make a suflicicney of home-made manures; we then must resort to sow- ing clover, rotating crops, and resting part of the farm. Sowing clover is our cheapest and surest way of fer- tilizing, for when growing on the Isad, we can graze: it or mow it for forage and its effects as a fertilizer last for several years. Waldo F. Brown, of Ohio, one of the most in. telligent and successful farmers of the West, says this of clover: With thirty-five years of careful observa. tion of the eflects of clover, I have each year valued it higher than I did the previous year; a crop of clover esanot be grown on my soil without benefiting it; no matter what use it is put to—whether pasture, cut for hay, allowed to mature a crop of seed; plowed under, or burned off, and each farmer who grow clover can determine for himeelf what is the best use he can put it to; the roots of clover are the most important factor in the fer- tilizing value of the soil, because their dried weight considerably exceeds that of the weight of the top; and al- s> because they are richer in food elements than the tops. Wore Gray ror Fowis.—Poul_ try do not need to bave their food masticated. If they did nature would have provided them with teeth, sod, as everybody knows, as scarce as ben's teeth has become a proverb. The work of mastication is done ix their gizzards by the aid of stones and shells, it is better for the fowls’ health to xeep this mill suita- provided with bard food that needs grinding up. Your chicks are often injared by having too large a propor. tion of soft, water food. It does not give the gizzard sufficient exercise. Try feeding whole wheat a little while. The chicks will become bard plamp snd lively. Rarr timber that has been floated down rivers has been ascertained to he'no longer liable to the attack of dry rot, Bo much so is this said to be the case that in Alsace it is cos tomary to specify that only raft tim, her shall be employed. The water slowly diseolv-.' out the albumen and alts and thus deprives the fungus of the nutriment needful for its devel. opment. A Freoch investigator, we are told, has found by experiment that, whereas fresh sawdost when haried rots away in a fow years, saw- «ast from wobd which has been soak- «d some time in water, and has there- hy been deprive! of soluble matters, will remain in the ground under simi. Rar circumstances wholly unchanged ant! oolyslightly tinged on the ex. savior with earthy matters dimolved from the soil. He is a wise farmer who provides pleaty of pasture for his hogs in sum- wer. The hog is as much entitled to gras in summer a8 is the cow, and will profit by it equally as well. Many furuers pay very little ettention to Is what food their hogs gets until fatten- ing time, thinking that until theo all that is necessacy is to give them bare- ly enough to keep them alive, and then 1hey are impatient to stuff’ them with all the corn they can eat, all the time wondering why the hogs don’t do better, grow faster, make sweeter pork; and why theowner is 85 un- lucky as to have his hogs die of cholera. Mg. Wircox, says: I have been in the habit of feeding the stock with wheat for some years pas’. I consid- er it to be more nutritious than any other food I have ever used. My plans are as follows: Cut straw and hay to fine chaff—the greater propor- tion being straw thrown over a given quantity (four or five pounds) of meal, with as much pulp root as you feel disposed to put in, mixing it to- gether, Give it twice a day. To sheep I always give it crushed or bruised—say a pint or a pint and a half each per day; it is the flnest food for eheep I have ever used. P1as that are to be marketed this year should be pushed hard from the beginning. If allowed to stand still for a day there will be a!loss. Ground oats and corn mixed, or ground corn and wheat middlings, will make a good slop for the pigs; soaked corn will also be highly relished, aud will be found well adapted to keeping the pigs in high flesh, but as soon as the new corn shall be fairly in miik that will be found the best of all fattening foods. On the other band, if pigs are to be kept over the winter there should be no stimulating or forcing. Give them the rum of a clover field the first summer, with a small allow- ance of grain. Horsgrapisa Seep.—A pars graph is going the ronnds saying that | the horseradishfplant produces seed; that its only mode of spreading is from the soot. It does not really need any other method of propagation, but we have seen a few horseradish seed on plants where the soil was thin aod poor. As usually plaoted vn rich gar- den or alluvial soil the plant has no instinct teaching it the need of pro- ducing seed. Place it where it is pinched and likely to die, and it will propagate seed the same ae all other plants do. HOUSEHOLD.

He could repeat the book of Job and the Psalms, and ona wager of two hundred pounds, he re- peated, without the aid of a book, Spencer's “Faerie Queen,” a poem of nearly four thousand stanzas of nine lines each. : Parsons, the Greek scholar, could repeat Milton's “Paradise Lost” back, wards.
