The temperature at w hich cream shoul)
be churned varies according to the tenv
pcrature of fhc air, but the proper nnn
ber of degrees is about sixty. In oldei
times, and even in modern davs, witl
some people, it was the rule for churnini
to po on until butter was found in great
lumps. That was n great fallacy. A
point is reached in churning beyond
which any further churning brings no im
provement, and that point is when the
butter has reached the sire of small
grains. The churning should take from
twenty-five to thirty-live minutes; if it
was much less the butter would not lc in
good condition, if Iho churning took
longer it would ho spoiled. As to
whether butter should bo washed or not
the practise varied in different parts of
England, and is a matter entirely of
taste. Those who arc accustomed to un
washed butter certainly will not like the
tlavor of washed butter. 2,ew York

Why is it that many farmers and gar
deners are bound to kill every toad and
snake they happen to. come across?
Merely because these animals nro repul
sive in appearance? That should hardly
be n valid reason. Handsome is who
handsome docs; and seen front this
standpoint, the ugliest, full-bellied toad,
and the creeping, sliding, wriggling
snake are models of beauty. Both live
largely or entirely on insects. Some
time ago when my hot-bed was overrun
with potato-beetles, flea-beetles, etc., one
of the great, ill-looking toads took up
its quarters right there. In a short time
the bed was free from insects of any
description, and the toad was waxing
fat. A few toads in a gnrden will do a
great deal toward ridding it of cut-worms
and bugs of all kinds, and snakes also
give valuable aid in the same direction.
French gardeners realize this much more
than those .of other nationalities do, and
in Paris toads are kept on sale in tho
open market and in gardeners' supply
stores. It is time for American garden
ers to learn the value of the two crea
tures, and give them aid and shelter in
par for their services, rather than perse
cute them in the usual cruel, relentless
and senseless fashion. Farm and Fir

The Society for the Prevention of Cru
elty to Animals put forth a set of rules
for the treatment of balky horses, which
rules, unfortunately, do not always work.
The best way is to have nothing to do
with balky horses. But, nevertheless,
some one of these rules, as well as a hun
dred others, do work in particular cases.
They are as follows:
1. Pat the horse upon the neck; exam
ine the harness carefully, first on one side
and then on the other, speaking encour
agingly while doing so; then jump into
the wagon and give the word go ; gen
erally ho will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horso by taking
him out of the shafts and making him go
around in a circle until he is giddy. If
the first dance of this sort doesn't cure
him, the second will.
3. To cure a balky horse, simply place
your hand over tho horse's nose and shut
off his wind until he wants to go, and
then let him go.
4. The brain of the horso seems to en
tertain but one idea at a time, therefore
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve. If you can by any
means give him a new subject to think
of you will generally have no trouble in
startiug him. A simple remedy is to
take a couple of turns of stout twine
around tho fore leg, just below the knee,
tight enough for the horse to feel, and
tie in a bow knot. At the first check he
will generally go dancing off, and after
a shoit distance you can get out and re
move the string, to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive.
6. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs and tie it by a cord to the
saddle girth.
6. Tie a string around the horse's ear,
close to the horse's head.
FALL FKEDINO FOR COWB.
Time is to be taken by the forelock, and
to prepare early for the fall feeding of
eows is carrying out this wise principle.
When the season is about to end, feed is
usually scarce and poor, because prcjMira
tions are net made for it in good time,
and the product of milk falls off at the
very time when it should be kept up for
tho winter profit. Once a cow loses milk
it is very dillicult, and in many cases, im
possible to restore it. Hence, fresh, suc
culent food must be provided for. The
best recourse is a field of aftermath, grass
or clover, or a pasture which has been rc
nerved especially for the purpose. It may
be too late now to remedy a failure for
the present season, but the warniugshould
be heeded in time for another year. Still,
something may yet be done. A planting
of early kinds of sweet corn, sown iu
rows eighteen inches apart and three
inches apart iu the rows, will very soou
'.fiord very acceptable feed. Millet may
be sown for pasture ; oats sown in August
or September will make the best of pas
ture for the early autumn, aud rye will
serve to follow after the curly frosts. If
uo other way cuu be found, some of tho
'vest hay, with a liberal rution of corn
meal, should be given us soou us tho out
door fo.age has become scurcc. Later,
the small potatoes may serve as succulent
food along with the hay. Malt sprouts
htccpeel in water und mixed w ith cut hay
have increased the milk-yield more than
pasture litis done. This food is very
pleasant and palatable to the cows, and
exceedingly nutritious und productive ol
rich milk. It can be purchused cheaply
in buiuiuerand full when it is not much in
demand, limn uud shorts have great
value, both us food products and for cu
liehing the manure, aud cotton-seed meal
fed with cure uud judgment is valuable.

A good rich soil is essential 'to seenrinK
l good growth and yield of wheat. If
hot naturally rich, farm manure or fer
tilizers should bo applied in such a man
tier ns to supply the elements required by
this plant. Tho old way of manuring
was to cither haul out and scatter on tho
Hubble, or apply after tho first plowing
had been given and then turn under. In
cither caso the manure was plowed under
rather than worked into tho soil near the
surface; and, to do this, apply the manure
after plowing, taking pains to scatter as
evenly as possible. The work of culti
vating anil preparing the soil into a good
condition will incorporate tho manure
stilliciently with the soil. If n special
fertilizer is used it should be scattered
broadcast, either just beforo or at the time
tho seed is sown. Drills with fertilizer
attachments can now be secured, so that
the work can bo done much bett?r than
by hand.
To grow a yield of twenty bushels of
wheat it will require on an average thirty
one pounds of nitrogen, fourteen pounds
of phosphoric acid, and eighteen pounds
of potash. These are three essential
elements required. If we know what per
cent, of theso elements is already in tho
soil, and nlso what is deficient, the
proper proportion can be readily supplied.
Clover, and with it a good dressing of
lime, plowed under, makes a good fertili
ser for wheat. One reason that good re
sults can generally be secured by using
farm-yard manure is that all tho elements
of plant food are applied.
The principal advantages in purchasing
and using commercial fertilizer is, they
increaso the growth and yield of the crop,
and by their means, with good manage
ment, the fnrmrr may be able to increaso
his supply of farm manure. And, in
many cases it can certainly bo used to
nn advantage, if the mistake is avoided
of depending entirely upon it as is some
times done when good results are secured
it first. With quite a number of crops
more or less fertilizers can be used, but
it is a mistake to depend upon them.
Farm manure must be the principal reli
ince and other materials be considered
only ns aids. Prairie Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN- NOTES.
A weak spot in a stable floor is a risk
no farmer can afford to continue a single
hour after discovery.
Dairy cattle should havo access to salt
every day, aud salt should be added daily
to nil their stable feed.
In very hot weather it may pay you to
hade the forming cauliflower heads w ith
leaves broken from the lower part of the
plant. -
A balky horse on a farm is n nuisance
to be abated, even at the cost, if need
be, of burying his carcass in the com
post heap.
If the rose-bugs trouble your grape
vines, spray thcin with Paris green and
water in the proportion of one ounce to
six gallons.
Let no soap suds from the weekly wash
bo wasted. There is nothing better for
cucumber nnd melon vines. Soak the
soil around the hills.
Itjs well enough to have a whip in driv
ing horses, but the occasions for using it
phould bo carefully considered before tor
turing the poor animals.
A Georgia farmer tells that he has suc
ceeded in subduing nut grass by putting
tho land in Bermuda and burr clover,
adding also Texas blue grass.
The value of old orchards when
properly treated, is hardly appreciated
by ono who has not had some practical
work in getting them to yield the great
est profit possible.
An orchard, whether young or old,
should not be allowed to grow where
heavy crops of grass arc taken every
year. It is wcakeniug to the soil nnd
detrimental to tho trees.
Feed tho calves feed them full it
hope of selling them in autumn at a profit
Is to bo justified, and if they are to be
kept over winter tho reasons for full
feeding apply quite as well.
The chicken range should afford plenty
of shade as well as sunshine. In hot
weather chickens will generally seek to
escape the direct rays of the sun during
the warmest hours of the day.
J. L. Budd says, iu Farmer Ksv-te,
that he believed the pear-shaped Itussiau
currant will prove specially valuable in
parts of the West where tho foliage of
the common currants drop premature
ly when exposed to the sun.
When sweet corn is used in the family
or sold, tho American Cultivator advises
to promptly cut nnd feed its stalks to the
cows. These atnlks are better fodder
than they ever will be again nnd all tho
better if a few nubbins remain on.
A few farmers claim to find good
even in the ox-eye daisy. They say that
if cut and cured before the seed begins
to form and tho stalk becomes woody,
it is a good milk producer when fed to
cows, aud that sheep will fatten on it.
The many good points of the turnip as
l supplemental crop for stock feed should
dot bo forgotteu. Its viilue for feeding
purposes is conceded, und tho labor of
putting in tho crop comes ut a season
when the hurry of work is abated. Ad
vocates of growing this root for stock
claim that nothing pays better for the
time, labor and expense involved.
The Origin or the Susli.
The broad sash which the young man
of the period now wears is of Spanish
and Mexican origin, nud. us worn by the
greaser dude of the liio Grande, is a
broad scarf tied at the side with flowing
ends. Since they huve become fashiona
ble with the American yonth the tying
in some instances is dispensed with, and
tho sash, which presents a broad front,
is a delusion uud a snare, and, like the
butterfly necktie, is inude up aud finishes
in tho buck, where it is concealed by the
cout, in a small belt and buckle to keep
it on. For the young inuu whoso shupo
does not allow of this getting along with
out the use of suspenders, the sash is not
"a thing ot beauty or a joy forever."
If he ties his bash tight enough to keep
his trousers iu place it will collapse and
be like a limp string iu sue, uud if he al,
lows its broad folds to encircle his ubdo
meu loosely then he is in mortal fear that
his troupers w ill drop off, so he is uevet
entirely happy. 1 saw one real sweet
young man the other day, and he had
his sash arranged w ith a sort of martin
gale. The su: h was wry broad, and he
had his four-iu -hand uecktie come down
and meet his aa-h, and pinned to it with
a society piu. 1 wouldn't be suipiised
if the sa.Oi was also pinned to his trous
ers, sj that the whole weight was brought
ou his neck, for he walked with a sort of
round-shouldered guil, uud didn't look
as it' he was enjoying himself, a bit.

Natural Scent of Flower.
The modest looking mignonette flower,
as is well known, is one of the most de
licious!' fragrant, with a fragrance of
that class that is not overpowering, and
that few can be fouud to object to. The
same is true of the sweet briar, lemon
verbena and its class. With the old white
lily, lily of the valley and Cape Jasmine,
this is not so. Too much of either of
these easily becomes nauseating, and, in
some eases, causes sickness; but the for
mer class, probably rarely. It may not

fragrance Ls so persistent and continuous
that a spriir, plucked and put iu the

A Mennonlte's Profitable Conscience,
John Gunderson, a farmer residing In
Worcester township, Montgomery Coun
ty, Tcnn., and a devout Mennonitc, soon
after the rabbit killing season closed last
winter, shot ono of the lortg-carcd ani
mals. When ho realized his error ho
gave tho rabbit to his son, who in turn
sold it to a neighbor., But Gunderson '
mind troubled him. He knew that he
violated a Stnto law and he bad no rest.
s time went on, tho feeling grew upon
him so much that he cotiUtrVt sleep, and
ho asked some of his neighbors to inform
upon him, so that ho could pay tho pen
alty and in that manner ease his mind.
But his" neighbors refused to do this, and
as a last resort Farmer Gunderson in
formed upon himself. The other day he
went to Norristown, and, telling tho
Presiding Judge his crime, the latter
went with him to a magistrate, whero
Gunderson swore that ho had violated the
law. The magistrate accordingly fined
him $5. The law, however, says that
half of tho lino shall go to tho informer.
Ouaderson left the office, but soon re
turned and claimed tho $2.50 due him.
It was paid to him and ho again de
parted. In a short time he returned, and
in order that none guilty should escape,
he lodged information against his son and
neighbor. The fine was imposed and
Gunderson paid the 10; but he claimed
and was allowed tho $5 due tho inform
ant. The farmer's mind had been eased
and he went to his home with a clear
conscience. If ho can collect tho $10
fine he will be $2.50 ahead of the game,
and all because he was an honest num.

was moving from Brookvillo to Punxsu
tawney, Peun. It was a hilly road nnd
the horses needed careful watching.
While going down a steep hill Moses saw
a largo fly on the neck of one of the
horses. It annoyed the man as much as
it did the horse, and tho little insect
caused the death ot tho animal and also
of Moses. Elvich, in leaning forward to
brush away the fly, fell to the ground and
broke his neck. The horses took fright,
and, running into the fence, the one on
which the fly was sitting broke it k leg
and had to be killed. Elvich was picked
up by his father-in-law, who was follow
ing with another load of household goods.

Bird Dog, Watch Dog and Nurse.
Joe, a pointer dog belonging to tho
family of the Rev. Mr. Flanders, of
Ellaville, Ga., is a faithful servant, and
comes as near earning his victuals nnd
clothes as any servant in town. Besides
being a first-rate bird dog, ever ready
for field sport, and a good night watch
man, he performs the services of nursery
maid and market boy with apparent en
joyment. He rolls the baby out in its
carriage for airing morning and after
noon, hauls up tho packages from the
stores and market, minds the chickeps
and pigs, and pulls the garden plow

What will SAPOLIO do? Why, it will clean paint, make oil-cloths bright, and
give the floors, tables and shelves a new appearance. It will take the greaseoff the
dishes and off the pots and" pans. You can scour the knives and forks with it,
and make the tin things shine brightly. The wash-basin, the bath-tub, even the
greasy kitchen sink will be as clean as a new pin if you use SAPOLIO. One cake
will prove all we say. Be a clever little housekeeper and try it. Beware of imitations

Tha newest game takes tho form of an
information party, and is begun by pass
ing to each gentleman a card and to tha
ladies small pieces of paper, which should
bo Mitnlwrva. Those who discover the
same number on their card and paper ara
partners for tho gnmc. Each couplo
must think 'of a question, sensible of
ridiculous, historical or in regard to tin
weather, to bo written on the cards, after
which the cards aro to be gathered to
gether, nnd the leader reads each in turn,
giving a few momenta for the partners to
consider the subject and write the answer,
which should bn read aloud In turn.
This is whero tho fun of the game begins,
as many of tho answers nro exceedingly
queer. Those having a corrcrt answer
mark their cards 10, a wrong answer 0,
and if tho answer is anywhere near right
it is counted 5. When all ate added
prizes may bo ' distributed as in pro
gressive games for tho best and tho
poorest record. Tho instructive part of
tho gamo is tho discussion which follows
tho questions. The height of tho Bunker
Hill monument is what everybody living
near it ought to know, and yet at an in
formation party held a few evening nao
only one person in a company of twenty
was sure of the exact number of feet.
