It Is evident that the larre qnanli
t J of uleomargaiina auadft od sol J as
'bolter," Las reduced the market
price of pur butter considerably, Tlie
first process in its manufacture is to
extract an odorless oil from lcf or
any fat other than pork, and the sec
ond Hare is the conrersion of this oil
into butter.' .Upon killing a bollock
"the caol fat is carefully cleaned and
, thrown into cold water. It is tben
. washed a; tin Mveral times alternate
ly in tepid and cold water, when it is
put through a meat chopper. The
fat U then forced through a fine sieve.
When drained the fat is melted he

off, while the membrane of the caul
and other i m parities are deposited as
"scrap" leaving a clear sweet oil.
,. The great secret here is the keeping
of the loweBt possible temperature
at which the fat will melt.; ; To raise
the temperature would make the
whole useless, except as tallow. This
oil, after pressing out the , stearine,
will keep almost any length of time,
and is the trust usual form in which
oleomargarine is shipped abroad.
With this oil as a basis, the making
of butter proper may be performed on
a rery large or very moderate scale.
One hundred pounds of oil, placed in
a common power churn, with twenty
pounds of butter or sour milk, a little
annatto to give color, and a pinch of
bicarbonate of soda or ealeratus, and
agitated, the oil receiving a butter fla
vor from the miik, is worked into a
mass. The mixture is then turned into
tubs containing ice. The purpose ol
the ice is to secure the rapid solidifi
cation of the oil and the prevention ol
granulation. The solidified oil is
turned upon an inclined table and the
water allowed to drain off. It then
undergoes a second churning with
buttermilk, to give more flavor and
wash out the excess of coloring mat
ter. Working and salting in regular
courte then prepares the butter lor
the tub. The caul fat may bo pur
chased at 9 cents and 10 cents per
pound, and the oleomargarine manu
faetnred at a profit of 14 cents per
pound.
PEAR BLIGHT.
Here is one of the latest "remedies"'
for pear blight: "As soon as I discov
er the leaves turning dark I take a
penknife and slit through the outer
bark of all the limbs as high as I can
well reach, And thus down the trunk.
Toe first time I tried this remedy was
ten years ago. Kvery limb recover,
ed, and I have repeated it as often as
any limbs hare been affected. My
trees are fine and healthy now. The
theory is, poison sap escapes where
the slit is made ; but the slits must be
made as soon as there is any appear
ance of blight" Probably a hundred
"remedies' for this disease in pear
trees have been published within the
list five years, without one of them
proving to be real remedies in differ
ent soils and localities; and it now
seems to be useless to publish any of
them, as pear growers gemra'ly have
come to the conclusion that the cause
of the disease has not yet been discov
ered. One writer saya that bis trees
growing in a grass sward have never
been attacked with the blight, while
another says bis trees in grass grounds
are as much diseased as those grown
on cultivated land. Then others
claim that trees in undrained lands,
where the water does not soon disap
pear after heavy rains, are most sub
ject to blight, while others say that
their trees in dry soils suffer most
from it. Again, some claim heavy
manuring will produce this disease.
With me this disease was thoroughly
eradicated br cutting away the dis
eased portions of the trees, as socn as
it became evident that the parts affec
ted would -die, and allowing new
trunks, or stems, to shoot up just
above where the trees were grafted
This was done the first and second
year after the trees were set (1ST3-4)
and since that time no trees have been
diseased. I allowed two and three
trunks to grow from each tree, to be
sure of saving them, and they now
are all in a nourishing condition. This
proves as far as this experiment was
made, that cutting away the trunks of
diseased trees at the proper time will
save them without deforming them,
as the two or three trunks now to
each do not detract from the
beauty of the trees, as grown on
my grounds. One trunk, however,
would have been safe; but I see no
reason why those with several will
not bear as much fruit as those with
one trunk.
SETTING MILK DEEP ASP SHALLOW.
Dairymen in different States disa
gree as to the advantage of deep and
shallow setting of milk for cream.
One of them Bays: "At a temperature
above CO3, deep cans will not do; the
milk will usually soar before all the
cream reaches the surface. When
this temperature is unavoidable,
shallow and broad pans will give the
best huUa. When. , cold water is
abundant and the means of keeping
it at 50 or lower are at band, it will
be fouLd that cans, 20 inch , deep
and eight or nine in diameter, will
save much labor, and at the same
time make quite as much and better
butter. Those dairymen whose situ
ation is covered by the first case,
should be cautious iu the use of deep
cans. It is no doubt for the want
of proper observance of those simple
rules that we bow have a conflict of sen
timent as to tb6 comparative merits of
deep ih ahallow aetung.' Another
dairymen writes: la many of the but
ter factories the water is in tanks or
vats about eighteen inches deep,
sunk in the earth, in which arj set
tin pails twenty inches deep, and 8
to 10 inches is diameter, the milk
standing seventeen . indies - deep in
the paiL The cream Dearly all rises
in 24 hours, is never allowed to stand
over thirty-six hoars, eed is skimmed
before the milk sours. In large dai
ries the setting of milk in deep ves
sels saves the washing of many shal
low one; and if . the temperature . U
kept at about 60 uniformly the deep
ones will probably be the most eco
nomical."
TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF MILK.
A Southern lady says: "Tepid wa
ter, slightly aalted, given twi a day,
will increase the flow of milk one
third; if the cow will not drink it at
first trial scatter a handful of bran or
become very food of it, and will
meal over the, tppotilThej, sq
drink all you give them. 1 tried this
plan' three '-yeirs ago .with 'per-
icel success, l Dun uuijr uue cow,
and she was of the common scrub
i;-tc of the country,"' and : after she
began to drink the - water, prepared
as above, she furnished me twice a
day two ordinary, waer-buckets full
of mi7k, and by feeding a little corn
boiled with cotton seed and milk
yielded butter enough to supply, my
table bountifully, and leave me ; a
few pounds to sell every week. I
gave her three gallons of water twice
a day.--;-; s " ''

The "America Chemist says:
"Wood can be made to last longer
than iron in the ground. 1'osts can

piece. ,;Thw is .the , recipes Take
boiled linseed oil and stir it in pul
verized charcoal to. the consistency

the timber, and there is not a man
who will live to see it rot." Like
many other sayings and recipes, this
statement is made by a man who ev
idently has never had proofs of what
be says; yet I am cure that two or
three" coats of this mixture, on the
parts of posts that go into the ground,
will prove a good preserver for them;
but a single coat will not suffice. The
charcoal should be finely ground or
pulverized, and the first coat should
not contain much charcoal, as the' oil
should be free to fill up the outer
pores of the wood, when the char
coal may be freely applied. Cut let
so one expect to thus preserve parts
made of wood that soon decays nat-'
orally, but use oak, chestnut, or ce

If any reader of these "Topics"
is ambitious to become an exporter
ofctccse to Liverpool, it may inter
est him to know what the usual char
ge are to forward bis cheese, sell it.
and remit the net proceeds, r irst is
the freight to New York, which is
easily ascertained. Then there is
cartage 01 live cents per 1UU ids. gross,
cooperage and clearance amounting
to a trine over tnree cents per pox.
The freight will be about 5." cts. per
100 lbs. Next comes the landing
charges, entry, tow and dock dues,
cartage, cooperage, porterage, insur
ance, opening and showing, interest
on charges paid brokerage, commis
sion, guarantee, loss in weight, and
often other charges not here enu
merated, as commission men are sure
to make the full list of charges, wheth
er right or wrong. For instance you
mill have to pay "cooperage" in
New York, and also in Liverpool,
v bother the cheese required it or
not. Tben you will have to stand
about five per cent "lots in weight,"
even if the cheese actually over-run
in weight; and although the nominal
commission is only five per cent, in
Liverpool for selling cheese, when
you get the "net proceeds" you will
find that it has cost you Irom twenty
to twenty-five per cent, on sales in
that city to get your cash returns.
When cheese sells there at 16 cts.
you cannot be sure of receiving over
twelve cents per pound after all ex
penses from your farm till . sold are'
deducted. The commission men of
Liverpool are as honest as la any
other city; but tley all make every
charge custom allows, and shippers
must silently snbmit to paying .them.
KENTUCKY 11LLE GRASS.
At a late meeting of the New York
Farmers' Club, a Kentucky -farmer
said he had had a great experience
in growing blue grass that it is
one and the same with common spear
jrrass. varying in size and appear
ance according to soil and latitude in
which it grows. The plant is
light green color, and the spikelcts
are frequently variegated with bluish
ourple. It flowers in June, but
once a rear, which reccommends it
tor lawns. Tbe produce is ordiaari
ly small compared with other grasses.
but tbe ncrbage is bne. it grows in
a variety of soils from the dryest
knolls to a wet meadow, but does
not stand severe droorbt as well as
tbe orchard grass. It eudures tbe
frosts of winter, however, better than
all other Brasses, and continues lux
uriant through mild winters. Blue
crass requires two or three years to
become well set, and does not arrive
at perfection as a pasture grass till
the sward is older than three years,
therefore it is not suited to alternate
husbandry, or where the land is to
remain in crass only a few years.
Blue grass should be cut as the seeds
begin to open, spread well and pro
tected from rains and dews ; on tbe
second day stock, shelter and salt
HOW tO LAY DRAIN TIL. '
An Ohio farmer laid CO rods of
drain tile, beginning at tbe lower end
while tbe men were digging ou the
ditch above bim, and the result .-'was
that the whole CO rods had to be
taken up, after tbe ditch was filled in
with earth, in consequence ol tbe tile
becoming filled with mud, as any
farmer ought to bave known would be
the result In laying tile always be
gin at the upper end, and when there
are lateral draios lay tbem before
you lay the main conductors. The
nan to whom I refer above says iu
regard to hi work, after he nod cor
rected his mistake: "I now com
menced with my six-inch tile, at the
upper end, took in each branch as I
passed by, putting in t- six Inch
sewer pipe with a- four-inch branch,
till all wns finished. I' now found
my tile a'i clean, tbe water-, running

have been known to make good drains
15 years. The drains should oot be
over 30 or 40 feet apart, and at least

Perhaps we are notUBing the bet
destroyer for potato beetles (Paris
green), as a .New Jersey farmer
claims to have killed them 'with to
bacco and lye. Here is his recipe:
"Take tobacco stems or refuse tobac
co and steep, and to the decoction
thus secured add lye from wood ashes
or lye from potash", and sprinkle ; the
liquid upon tbe vines with a common
sprinkler.". He aaya he applied this
mixture by the advice of a 'chemist
with perfect success, "not only driv
ing away tie beetles, but it also
destroys their eggs." If., it merely 1
"drives away" the beetles, 'leaving !

Says she: "Say you've hid it to

Savs I : "Far be it from me to do

It was a little round clock as you

me so that I went off into bystetics,

"And if you'll do mo the favor-to

"Well, sir, what can I do foryou!"
Inquired tbe urbane attendant.

He took from an inner breast

Russians look like Confederate sol
diers, and no more, descriptive paral
lel could be presented to tbe Ameri
can public than to compare in gener
al appearance a camp on the Dimbor
itza to a Confederate camp on tbe
Rappahannock during the rebellion.
Tbe infantry bivouac about the.T
stacked arms, spreading the contents
of their knapsacks on tbe ground, and
hanging tbeir garments on the bayo
nets to dry and air. Great coats of
coarse gray ttuff, propped up on two
or three sticks, serve aa a tent for two
soldiers, who make their bed of a sec
ond coat and cook their coffeo ovr a
a little fire of twigs before their rude
tint Their loose uniftrmsof white
cotton become earth-colored after a
marcb snd look shabby and unmilitc-
ry, and a battalion falling in fi r re
tions has anything but a soldierly ap
nearaace. Examine tie dark fact t.
idoolly dark in contrast with the light
uniforms, and yon will rod that the: e
is an unmistakable intelligence iu tbe
rank and file, that they are slow to
an without a superabundance tf tL
ergy, but have good powers ofendu:
ance and are accustomed to obey.
Tbey bave not the individuality tf
the soldiers of some of our othftrgie&t
military nations, nor tbe self-aeser i n
of the American, but their geLt-ial
appearance is not attractive. Tie
officers, are, a a class, f as locking,
intelligent men, without much fire in'
their composition, but' with a certain
dignity of carriage that proves a hab
it of commanding. They have sym
pathetic dispositions, as a rule, atd
make frieuds wherever they go. Tbe
majority of them, of course, speak
nothing but Russian, but often one
may bear among tbem pure English,
French or German Fpokco, witb tbe
fluency of a native.
rio-hUn Fate.
The unhappy Keutuckian who bet
on everr raco during the week and
lost everv time, illustrates the freaks
of fortune in this mpeet. He had
just fifty dollars loft and in shear
desperation cried out in tbe crowd
that bad assembled at the hotel after
the races.
"Til bet fifty dollars I can name
two men in the crowd who have
twenty-three Cogers."
" When the bet was tikeu this child
of fate coLtin tied :
"Any body 'II do. Here, my friend,
I'll take you. I have thirteen fingers
and you have ten; that make twenty
three. I knew there was one bet I
thuld not lose."
co i be stranger gazed at bun a mo-
ent with a pitviag expression, aud

HAIR
ENEWER.
Kverv year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is duo to merit alone. We
can assure our ohl patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard ;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring Gkay
or Faded Haib to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-elands. By its use, the hair
prows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the "capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Haik Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected tor excellent quality;
and I consider it the 15 est i'repa-
nATiox for its intended purposes.1
