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,

The New Comet,
The summer of 1874 will be enlivened

which is even now visible to those who
will take the trouble to use agood opeia

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

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. V., wlioeo Family Medi
cines liave wou golden opinions and achieved
world-wido reputation after patient ntudy and
much experimenting, succeeded in perfecting
a Compound Extract of Bmart-Weed, or Water
Pepper, that is destined to become as celebrat
ed as his other medicines. It owes its eflioacy
not entirely to the Bmart-Weed, which, how
ever, is a sovereign remedial agent, hut largely
to a happy combination of that herb with
Jamaica Ginger aud other vegetable agents.
The combination is auch as to make it a very
pleasant remedy to take. Taken internally, it
cures Diarrhoea. Dysentery (or lilood Flux),
Hummer Complaint, Cholera, Cholera Morbus,
Cholera Infantum, Colio, Cramps aud Pam in
