Farm, Uardcu and Household, t; fleet of Tcmperalnrc on tha Creaming of Milk. The result of a serifs of experiments, carried on through several months, by exposing different portions of milk in pans to temperatures of 40 degrees, 67 degrees, and 74 degrees, and determin ing the amount of fatty matter still present after Various times of exposure, are embodied in a report by Shubert, from which it appears that the separa tion of fatty matter from the milk was most rapid at 40 degrees, but that it was more rapid at 74 degrees thau at 67 decrees, the separation being more complete at 40 degrees in 18 hours than it w at 67 degrees after 30 hours. After 24 hours at 40 degrees, only 0.298 per cent, of the fatty mattrl remained in the milk, and while diminution of it continued np to 80 to 80 hours, it was , bo flight as to have no practical im portance. Tests made on a large scale of Schwartz's method of immersing the milk in deep vessels in ice-water, show ed that it produced the largeet yield of butter for equal measures of milk, and also that sweet cream afforded more butter than sour cream. The method possesses the additional advantage that the milk never sours, and can be pre served several daya in the ice-water without the least injury, and will bear transportation to a considerable dis tance before becoming warm enough to change. Cheese made from it is also much better and less liable to spoil in keeping, and since butter made from sweet cream contains less milk-sugar and casein, according to the analyses nvde, it is consequently less liable to become rancid. Canning Vegetable. The chemical bath in which the cans of vegetables are imraerfed before their final sealing is used only for the pur pose of getting a temperature higher thau the boiling point of water. The necessity for this high temperature is dne to the fact that the air contained iu the can and its contents is more thoroughly expelled, and if the can is entirely void of air there can be no chauge iu the condition of its contents. A boiling heat will expel all the air, but longer timo is needed than with a higher temperature. For domestic pur poses the bath of boiling water is suffi cient. It is only necessary to cook the vegptables (without salt) in the can, to solder the cover on perfectly air-tight, to mako a pin-hole in the cover, and then itumerne the can in a boiling wa ter bath without covering thei upper parts, and when it has been exposed to the boiling heat for fifteen minutes, to seal with drop of solder upon the pin hole. Dead Animals for Manure. To make monumof dead horses costs either a good deal of labor or much waste of fertilizing matter, and usually both. Could the horse be promptly steamed and pulverized, after the man ner now employed in many slaughter houses, that would be the best way ; but with ordinary resources cut up the animals as a butcher would do, or in smaller pieces, and stratify with muck. Ashes or salt und quicklime upon the joints would hasten decomposition und tend to sol ten the bones. If carnivor ous animals should trouble the compost a few bits of tenderloin seasoned with Btrychnine might be so disposed about the edges ns to protect the heap and also increase the supply of carcasses, were there no "higher law" to be re garded, l lie salt and lime would per haps feiifliuiently circumvent the dogs in case reprisals were not looked for. To Destroy Moles. Bryan Tyson, Washington City, gives the following method for maki'ug pills to destroy molps : Make ti st.'ff dough of corn meal, mixing with it a small quantity of arsenic. Make a hole with a finger in the runways, drop in a lump of dough about the size of. a marble, and then cover over with a lump of earth to exclude the light. After the first rain, go over the field again and deposit in all freshly made roads.. I once concluded to plant a piece of san dy bottom land in sweet potatoes ; but as it was much infested by moles, my tuecess depended on first exterminating them. A few doses of arsenic given in the way described brought about, the desired result, and it was a very rare cirenmstanca to see the track of a mole in this piece of ground during the en tire summer. Litiulil Manure. To apply liquid manure direct to the field is too costly for a general practice in this country. It is better to absorb with muck. A bed of this material dried and laid in store under the stables, with some pigs to work it over from time to time answers the purpose ex cellently. No vats or tanks are need ful. As to which is best, liquids or solids, that depends upon the kind of food, the amount given, and what the animals yields. On low rations the liquids are best, but highly-fed animals yield more fertilizing matters in their dung than in their urine. The urine is a secretion and cannot be enriched bo easily as the dung which is mainly an excretion. Waste of Wool. Any farmer who liaa weighed hie fleeces at shearing time and again when they are sold as every one should do knows that a fleece will gain in weight from 10 to 20 per cent, by absorbed moisture, and if stored in a cellar will gain even more weight. Wool does Dot dry out nor season in the least, but quite the reverse. This is no gain but a loss to the manufacturer, and few sheep men need to be told that there is a point in thus adding to the weight of wool beyond which it is not safe to go, as it is refused by the buyer except at a large reduction. Those who dispose of wool and get their cash when it is ready lr sale do better thau those who hold for higher prices and thus become speculators. Getting: Satisfaction. There was a difficulty between the heads of two Dutch families in Macon, Georgia, which all efforts to quietly settle Lad failed, until the aggrieved party, who had positive proof that hiB material rights had been infringed up on, called in Judge Lochraue. " You say that if he will pay 8500 you will let the matter drop?" Yah ; he pays zat, me Bays nothing more pout it." The Judge, an hour later, said to the other party : " I think this unpleasant matter might be amioably adjusted without going into the court-house with it." The terms followeJ, and the Judge was paid the sum asked, cash down. Leixurely walking to the train, he stepped on board with more than his usual dignity. In about four weeks he had finished the business of the Ger man bond hol lers and the Albany Rail road, and returned to Macon. "Shudge Ljoliraae, what for you keeps that five hoondred tollar iu your pocket ?"' "Ah I I never charge less than that as a re tainer ia a cue of that kind." How I iron Her, I fell very uncomfortable in Judge Chnpin's presence that afternoon. I had come to ask him for his daughter and (is I am a man who never allows myself to be turned from my purpose by any obstacle, no matter liow great, ask him for his daughter I did. I am afraid I did it very bnnglingly, for the Judge's cold, searching gray eyes were npon me, looking me through and through I thought, nud my con fusion was very great. Nevertheless, between my stammering and incoherent sentences, I made him understand at last that it was not legal advice of which I was in quest, but the hand of her whoso heart was mine already Ettie, the idol of the proud and haughty man with whom I plead. " Well," he said, after a panse, dur ing which I could not help dropping my eyes and turning very red, for, in my confusion, I imngined that I had been guilty of some henions crime, " so you want me to give jou my only child, do you?" From his stern tones, I knew that my suit was unsuccessful that my answer, when it came, would be an empliatio " No I" Still, I looked up boldly into his face. " Such is my wish, Judge Chapin," I said. Will yon tell me why I should en trust the welfare of my child to your keeping ?" he asked. " Because I love her." " An insufficient renson," he replied, with ill-concealed sarcasm. " Because she loves me." J That reason's stronger," he said, grimly. " Because, if you forbid our marriage, yon will render her unhappy miser able." "I haven't a doubt of it," he said, sneeringly. "Not the shadow of a doubt. She would pine away and die of a broken heart. And all for love of a brainless stripling, scarcely out of his teens 1" From confusion, my feelings changed at once to indignation. What right had he, this purse-proud man, to insult thus one whoso character, at least, was fair ns his ? I was never celebrated for having power, at all times to control my temper. Had I possessed this power, I should no doubt have risen from my chair and left the room without a word. As it was, I leaped to mv feet with haste which rendered my appearance very un-difl-ni tied, I fear. "Judge Chapiu I" I cried. "I cam9 hero to ask a question which could have been answered by 'yes', or 'no.' I expected to be treated as a gentleman. I expected tomeet a gentleman. I have been disappointed iu each particu lar. I find that one may be rich and learned, and t-till a brute." In an instant, I regretted my hasty speech. I regreted it, not because I cared eeppciallv for the feelings of the man to whom 1 spoke, nor because he was the father of the woman I loved. I regretted it, because it made my chances of success so much smaller, and, as I am one who never give up until I attain that which I seek, I was determined to reach that point eventually, I expect ed that Jmigo Chapiu's first act would be to summon his servants and order them to kick me into the street. I was disappointed, however. He evinced noauijer at my strong language rather the opposite, indeed. " Wait a moment," he said. I stood irresolute. The tone was bland quite different from the imperative manner in which he had spoken before. I obeyed, al though to do so was an effort, for I felt that to 6tay longer after the insults of which I hud been the recipient, was to compromise my dignity. "I did not mean to bo harsh, my boy," he said. " I meant only to tell you some plain, whoh some truths. You are young you are poor." "X liHve my profession, Judge Chapin,'' 1 answered, quickly ; " and I have the strength to rise and a will that will uot let mo falter. I shall succeed," "It maybe so," ho answered. "I remember when I wa poor and strug gling, like you, to attain eminence iu my profession. I succeeded. When you have become successful, then you may have Ettie." " And not until then ?" " Not until then," he said, determi nedly. His words gave me little hope. It might be years before that end was ac complished. It might not come until the years of my youth had passed. I had received my answer. I knew that I should receive no other, and I arose to go. I had gone no farther than the door when a servant .rushed iu, breathless, from some severe physi- cai eieruuu. no bhuk uown, panunr. "What is it, John ?" the Judge cried, alarmed at the fellow's manner. It was some minutes before the man could speak. "The river!" he exclaimed at last. The falls! Miss Ettie!" I was all excitement now. I graspe 1 the fellow's arm and skook him rough's- " Be calm, you weak idiot ?" I cried. " be calm. Tell me what has happened to Ettie." "Bow-boat capsized," he muttered, between the shakes I administered. " Went over the falls. Ettie caught on the rock above them." I waited to hear no more. With a bound I was out of the house and rush ing madly toward the river. I reached it, and saw a sight that almost froze my blood with horror. There clinging to the rock, just above the falls, was Ettie, my darling. I knew that I must act quickly. If I did not save her quickly, she would be swept away. " I am here, Ettie !" I cried. " Hold on a little longer, darling. I will save you." I rushed towards the boat bouse. I knew that in it there was a coil of rope. In an instant I had it. Bushing back to the bank opposite the rock, I made it fast. The other end I took between my teeth and sprang into the swift, the rushing current. I battled madly. I never knew howl reached the rock, for everything look ed black around me. I suppose God helped me, for no man could have steam across that boiling cauldron with out divine assistance. I reached the rock. My darling look ed up at me with those lately despair ing eyes, in which the light of hope ap peared again. I fastened the rope firmly around her. I looked towards the shore. I saw Judge Chapin, wringing his hands in grief, and by his side his servants. " Pull in on the rope I" I cried. I did not fasten the rope around my body, for if the rope strained in tha least, I was determined to loose my hold and be dashed downward to certain death. Sa long as they saved my dar line', what cared I. We threw ourselves forward from the rock. They pulled the rope In quickly. It seemed to me to be an age while we were on the passage through the rush ing, boiling waters, and I feared that every moment the strained rope would break. My fears were idle. It held firmly. In a moment (which seemed to me a. lifetime) I felt my feet touch bot tom. The servants' arms were thrown around ns. They drew us to the shore. We were saved. Judge Chapin came to me that night, as I sat in my little room alone. ' Will you forgive an old man for the harsh words he spoke to you this morn ing?" he said, humbly. "Yon have given me my daughter's life. I give her now to you." Need I say more ? You know the rest. Marriage and happiness, XLIIId UNITED STATES CONGRESS IN THE SENATE. BILLS PASSED.

The New Comet, The summer of 1874 will be enlivened by the appearance of a new comet. which is even now visible to those who will take the trouble to use agood opeia glass. It is to be hoped that it will not nave tne same enect on tne climate and the people as the one did which Dr. tlolmes sung about in his well-known humorous poem. At present the head is of the brightness cf a star of the fifth magnitude. It is condensed towards its center, and has a tail about a degree in length. Directions for find' ing it are given as follows: Draw an imaginary line from Qamma to Alpha of the Dipper, and from Gamma to Beta of the Lesser Bear, following on' ward at or near the intersection of these lines, at about thirty degrees above the horizon at 9 P. M , the comet will be found. Its place on Proctor's map is lust above the small arrow northwest of stars fortv-two and fortv. three of the Cameleopard (Camelus). It was first discovered in the country uv x xui, ajbwis omitn, oi itocnebter. i hat ubow. a Virginian owns a crow which serves as a substitute for dogs, cats, and all other domestic sen tinels.

He readily spies the squirrel, either npon the lenoe or on tne trees, and, with a natural antipathy to the squirrel tribe, his shrill, keen note is readily detected by his owner, accompanied by rapid darts np and down, and the owner is thus led to the game.

A Midsummer Night Dream, This little picturo of the islands in Lake Mahopac is enough to make any mother of tour marriageable daughters puck her tiunks for that place immedi ately: "These little isles on moonlit nights are truly romantic. There is no underwood, and the ground is carpeted with the most odoriferous flowers, whose fragrance seems intensified by the still ness. Through the arching of the trees a half-light just permits objects to be vi ible, and there are no vines to catch one's toes aud throw one iguo- miniously prostrate. In the distance the gas-jets of the hotel make a brilliant illumination, too far away to be glaring, aud just near enough to show the con tour of the hotel with its bold Mansard root and its long piazzas. On some warm summer night the romantic ones are ferried over gently by their respec tive urianuos, with here ana there a kindly maiden aunt to play propriety. Finding a little circular hollow they seat themselves in a circle, crushing down the Ironds of strong-smelling; ferns, and putting in the middle the precious basket that contains the cake and the strawberries. Then they tell love stories in turn, those who have fine voices singing something soft and plaintive, or reciting sweet love poetry, like Lowell's captives. Then they eat their strawberies in bliss, and all goes merry as a marriage bell until some wretch starts a story of hideous mon sters that inhabit lonely lakes hid among mountains ; how fishermen and boats have been swallowed up at -one fell gulp by the great jaws of the behemoth, and mantrled pieces of the deceased have floated to shore, such as boots with lectin them. After this good, cold, chilling ghast story com pletes the eutertainment, and the fair ones are ferried back to the hotel and forget their fright amid the mazes of the whirling waltz. Sea Mice. Tbe eea mouse is one of the prettiettt creatures that lives under water. It sparkles like a diamond and is radiant with nil the colors of the rainbow, al though it lives in the mud at the bot tom of tne ocean. It should not be called a mouse, for it is larger than a big rat. It is covered with scales that move up aud down as it breathes, and glitters like gold shiryng through fleecy down, from which flue silky bristles wave, that constantly change rrom one brilliant tint ta another, so tbat, ns Cuvier, tne great naturalist, says, the plumage of the humming bird is not more beautiful. Wea mice are sometimes thrown up on tho beach by storms. Dr. E. V. Pierce, of the World's Dis- peiiBury, Buffalo, N.
