Datbt Maxims. Milk will sour
quicker if the cows are fed soar milk.
This is not objectionable for butter
making, bnt it is objectionable for
cheese making.
Cream from a farrow cow's milk will
not all come if churned with cream
from new milch cows. The mixed
cream will make more butter than the
cream from new milch cows alone, but
not as much as if the cream is churned
separately.
If I were receiving milk from low
swampy, grounds, or from pasture
filled with weeds, or prairies, I would
scald it. By heating to 150 degrees I
would drive away the taint, but the
scalding would also drive away the aro
ma of the timothy, clover, or June
grass.
Cream can be raised by freezing,
but this is not practiced in this country.
If milk is kept at a low temperature,
the cream rises slowly.
Tne effect of a sudden change in milk
or cream is to injure the keeping qual
ity of butter.
Whey, as it comes from the factory,
invariably Las a bad effect when fed to
cows. If fed while fresh and sweet, it
is not objectionable. ,
Raising cream by freezing does not
expel animal odor. Neither does it de
stroy germs in milk.
The cream which rises first makes a
better qnalityof butter than that which
rises last.
The more aroma in butter, the liss
time it will keep. So with cheese.
In the spring I would work all the
cream into cheese, to ripen it sooner
and make it better, and work it off at
spring prices. Later in the season I
would skim more.
The cream from ordinary cows can
nearly all be worked into cheese. It
soold not be done with milk from the
Jerseys or other cows whose cream ri
ses slowly.
To avoid greasy butter, churn with
pressure instead of friction. The dash
churn brings butter by pressure, and
makes better butter than most other
kind of churns. Butter should also be
worked by pressure instead of friction.
The ladle or worker should not be
drawn across the butter, but pressed
down upon it.
Milk while being scalded for taint
should be stirred.
Results favor shallow setting instead
of deep setting. The amount of cream
seems larger sometimes from deep set
ting, but it is owing to the fact that in
deep setting the large globules carry
with them considerable milk. The
amount of butter from deep setting will
be less than shallow setting.
Os Weanino Lambs. Many farmers
are in the habit of letting the lambs go
with the ewes without weaning. This
is a bad policy, for it causes the ewes
to become poor, and the Iambs also
run down when put upon dry bay for
the winter. This can be easily avoided
by weaning the lambs. The proper
time is in the month of September, for
then the second growth of grass is well
up and the lambs are about the right
age. The Iambs intended for market
should be turned into the best pasture.
while those for wintering should be
put on short grass, and have some
cracked corn or beans. Meanwhile, the
ewes should be turned into poor feed
for a few days, and lieyond the hearing
of the lambs, they will not be uneasy,
In a day or two a person should go
through the flock, and, where it is ne
cessary, remove the milk with the hand
If it continues to accumulate, the ewe
should be fed on dry hay for a lew days.
If proper attention is given to thin all-
important part of sheep-raising, the
wool-growers will always have large
sneep and warm doilies.
Arn-F.-TitEE Borer. Wo have fol
lowed this incect with a sharp wire for
over thirty years, and if there is any
better remedy for the creature after he
has begun to throw out bis chips, we
Lave not discovered it. With a etiarp
pointed knife and a bit of wire a few
inches long, it is not a very difficult
task to dislodge the enemy. He should
be attacked as soon as he makes his ap
pearence. Young apple-trees shonld
be examined at least twice a year. The
sooner the bores are destroyed, the
smaller the wounds that will be made
around the collar of the tree. Gener
ally the worm can be reached with the
point of a knife. If it cannot be done,
follow him with wire. As a preventa
tive we have fonnd oil-cloth, or stiff,
thick paper to answer a good purpose.
Remove tne earth an inch or two around
the collar, then bind on the cloth or pa
per with a string. We have seen thirty
fine, young apple-trees, worth five
dollars apiece, destroyed for want of a
half hour s attention in the spring.
Pastubisq Meadows. A correspon
dent writes : 1 do not believe in feed
ing meadows in the fall (and no one
does in the spring.) With mowers we
can better afford to feed the second
crop in the barn, where the manure can
be better preserved, and where there
will be no danger of the cattle feeding
too close, pulling np the roots, or tread
ing np the ground, which they are very
apt to do, especially when it is newly
seeded. I want to get my haying done
so early that the second crop of clover
will be in blossom so I can get it cut be
fore we have any severe frost which is
earlier than most men are ready to turn
their stock in ; that gives time for
another crop to come np sufficient to
protect the roots through onr freezing
winters. I top-dress to some extent.
Exposi.vo Potatoes to th Sex.
It is a great mistake in handling pota
toes, to allow them to be exposed to
the son, especially when tender. In
digging, have baskets of convenient
size at hand, and, as fast as you can
dig, pat in barrels and cover up ; trans
fer them fresh to market, or to a room
where they may be emptied upon a floor
to dry in the shade. Potatoes exposed
to a hot sun, when packed in barrels
and shipped, will speck and rot ; often
times the shipper will lose an entire
shipment, and besides, the consumer
will find such potatoes stale and fre
quently tinged with bitter taste.

Farmers' Children. Every girl and
boy shonld have the care of something
belonging to them, to grow, or culti
vate, or improve. When there is plenty
of room, as on a farm, boys should own
a horse, or a cow, or have a given por
tion of the garden to cultivate. Girls
shonld be allowed to possess a bee-hive,
or a certain, number of hens, or fruit
bearing Tines. Something of value,
that by care and cultivation increases
and returns a valne for itself. Children
will acquire an interest and derive a
happiness from this form of industry
that will repay the effort and trial.

Scientific.
A Womas Withoct Boxes. The
social developments across the water
show a lamentable state of affairs due
apparently to no other cause, than a
a deficiency of backbone in one or two
individual.
When such disastrous consequences
proceed from the weakening of a put
only of the human framework, we sin
cerely trust that there may be no
spreading of the disease lately devel
oped across the ocean iu the person of
an Irish woman, who lived to see her
entire skeleton waste away uutil it was
but a fourth part as hravy as a new
born babe.
The case occurred in Dublin, and
may truly be called extraordinary. The
victim, forty five years old, was a
patient in an insane asylum. For five
years she was confined to her bed, com
plaining of no pain, but gradually
becoming weaker, while dwindling in
stature until she lost half her Light.
As the disease progressed, her lirabs
were coiled np in every possible shape,
the bones becoming extremely light,
soft, fragile, and atrophied in every
respect At death, all that was left
of her skeleton, including the skull,
weighed two rounds and a half. The
number of Iractures was prodigious.
The ribs were in a hundred fragments.
The head of the humerus was bent ; the
fibnlre were curved ; the thigh bones
and pelvis were huddled together ; the
bones of the vertetrre were thinned and
worn away across the front of their
bodies : the lower jiw was atrophied
and broken into three pieces ; the base
of the skull was cnbiform all through.
Had she lived a little longer, it was
thought that not a vestige of a bone
would have been left in her body.
What ailed her no one could tell, the
disease being almost unheard of and
diificnlt to diagnose," treat, or even
name. Professor 11. W. Smith, of
Dublin University, who brought the
case before the Pathological Faculty,
looked upon the condition of the bones
not as a disease but as a manifestation
of a diseased condition as yet unknown, i
possibly related to rickets.
Development of thb II cm an Head.
In a lecture liefore the Anthropologi
cal Society of Paris, the learned physi
ologist, Dr. Broca, stated that in 1SG1
he had his attention called to the sub
ject of the influence of education on the
development of the human head, and
that, being surgeon at Bicetre at the
time, he Lad measured the heads of the
servants and the medical students at
that establishment. About 1S3C, Par
chappe had effected the measurements
of the heads of ten workmen, and as
many men of distinguished learning,
and found those of the latter to be
much more voluminous than the others,
and especially distinguishable by a
great development of the frontal re
gion. These results were the more re
markable because of the author's
known antipathy to Gull's system of
phrenology ; but Dr. Broca thought
them insufficient, inasmuch as they did
not exactly show whether the difference
was owing to education or merely to
natural intellectual superiority. His
measures being especially taken with
this view, his ultimate conclusion is
that the cultivation of the mind exer
cises a special influence on the develop
ment of the brain, and that this action
particularly tends to increase the vol
ume of the frontal lobes, which are
considered to be the seat of the higher
intellectual faculties. This view is
corroborated by a very curious result
he obtains from a comparison of I'ar
chnppe's measure of Lis learned men
with those of the unlearned ; in the
case of the former the frontal develop
ment was considerable, while in the
case of the latter it was the posterior
part of the braiu that had grown more
than the anterior.
ErnF.R. Physicists recognize heat as
a mode of motion, aud that it comes
nnder the cognizance of onr percep
tions by the vibrations of atomic matter
or ether: of ether, that fluid material,
perfectly elastic, ineoerciblc, imponder
able, which fills all the immensity of
space and the depth of all bodies. It
is in this fluid that the stars describe
their orbits ; in this fluid atoms per
form their movements and descrile
their trajectories. Thus the ether, the
radiant messenger of heat and light,
conveys and distributes their radiations
through all the Universe ; and that
whieh it loses in vibratory energy when
it penetrates a cold body, which it
warms, it communicates to the atoms
of this body and augments the intensity
of their movements ; and that which it
gains in energy by contact with a warm
body, which it cools, it withdraws from
this body and diminishes the intensity
of their vibratory movements. And
this kind of light and heat which comes
from material bodies is transmitted
across space to other material bodies.
Tides op Lakes and Lakelets. It is
said by most authors on tidal theories
that there can be no tides on lakes, for
the reason that the moon's attraction is
equal over the whole surface of water.
I hold that there is a tide raised from
every body of water on earth. It is
impossible for the moon to raise a body
of water from the earth by its attrac
tion, but it counterbalances or neutral
izes a portion of the earth's attraction
for the water, in consequence of which
the water becomes lighter and the
lower portion not so much compressed,
Hence, on account of the elasticity of
the compressed water, the diminution
of compression is followed by an ex
pansion which drives the superincum
bent water upward. This is a natural
principle which belongs to all bodies of
water, although tne effect is imper
ceptible if the water be shallow and not
connected with very deep water.
Crrnxo Glass with Steel. Any
hard steel tool will cut glass with great
facility when freely wet with camphor
dissolved in turpentine. A drill bow
may be used, or even the hand alone.
A hole bored may be easily enlarged by
a round file. Flat window glass can
readily be sawed by a watch-spring saw
by aid of this solution. In short the
most brittle glass can be wrought almost
as easily as brass by use of cutting tools
kept constantly moist with camphorized
oil of turpentine.
Fismxo by Meaxs of Explosives. A
method of catching fish, employed for
years by poachers in England, is to fill
a large stone bottle with quicklime,
then to pour in water enough to nearly
fill the jar, and cork it np, securing the
cork to the neck of the bottle by copper
wire. The bottle is thrown into the
water, and the pressure, caused by the
working of the lime, explodes the bottle
and stuns the fish, which then float
helplessly on the surface of the water.

Domestic
How to takr carb of China akd
Glass Ware. In the" average lonse
hold few things suffer more from ' ill
usage than porcelain and glass, .es
pecially the finer kinds of such ware.
We trive a few practical suggestions on
the best methods of cleansing and pre
serving these fragile materials :
One of the most important thinprs is
to season glass and china to su-ideu
charge of temperature, so that they will
remain sound after exposure to suddtn
heat and cold. This is Ik st dene Ly
placing the articles in cold water, which
must gradually be brought to the boil
ing point, and then allowed to cool
very slowly, taking several hours to da
it The commoner the materials, the
more care in this respect is req aired.
The very best glass and china is always
well seasoned, or annealed, as the
manufacturers say, before it is sold. If
the wares are properly seasoned in this
way, they may.be washed in boiling
water without fear of fracture, except
in frosty weather, when, even with the
best annealed wares, care must be taken
not to place them suddenly in too hot
water. All china that has any gilding
upon it may on no account be rubbed
with a cloth of any kind, but merely
rinsed first in hot and afterwards in
cold water, and then left to drain till
dry. If the gilding is very dull and re
quires polishing, it may now and then
be rubbed with a soft wash leather and
a little dry whiting ; but this operation
must not be repeated more than onco a
year, otherwise the gold will most cer
tainly be rubbed off and the china
spoilt When the plates, etc., are put
away in the china closet, pieces of
paper 6honld be placed between them
to prevent scratches on the glaze or
painting, as the bottom of all ware has
little particles of sand adhearing to it,
picked up from the oven wherein it was
glazed. The china closet should be in
a dry situation, as a damp closet will
soon tarnish the gilding of the best
crockery.
In a common dinner service, it is a
irreat evil to make the plates too hot,
as it invariably cracks the gl.ize on the
surface, if not tne plate itseii. e an
know the results it comes apart ; "no
body broke it it was cracked be
fore." or "cracked a long time ao."
The fact is, when the glaze is injured,
every time the "things" are washed the
water gets to the interior, swells the
porous clay,and makes the whole fabric
rotten. In this condition they will also
absorb grease ; and when exposed to
further heat the grease makes the
dishes brown and discolored. If an old,
ill used dish be made very hot indeed,
a teaspoonful of fat will be Eeen to
exude from the minute fissures upon its
surface. These latter remarks apply
more particularly to common wares.
As a rule, warm water and a soft
cloth are all that is required to keep
glass in good condition ; but water
bottles and wine decanter, in order to
keep them bright, must be rinsed out
with a little muriatic acid, which is the
best substance for removing the "fur"
which collects in them. This acid is fur
better than ashes, sand, or shot ; for
the ashes and sand scratch the glass,
and if any shot is left in by nccidt'Lt
the lead is poisonous.'
Richly cut glass must bo cleaned and
polished with a soft brush, upon which
a very little fine chalk or whiting is
put; by this means the lustt-r and
brilliancy are preserved.
Coffee as a Disinfectant. Roasted
coffee, is one of the most powerful
means, not only of rendering animal
and vegetable cflinvia inuoctious, but
of actually destroying them. In proof
of this, the statement is ma le tii.it a
room, in which meit in an advanced de
gree of decomposition had been kept
for some time, was instantly deprived
of all smell on aa open coflee roaster
being carried through it, containing
one pound of new ly roaated coffee ; and
in another room, the effiuvium occa
sioned by the cleaning wit of a cesspool,
so that sulphuretted hjdrogen and
amonia could be clearly detected, was
entirely removed on the employment of
three ounces of freshly burnt colTce.
Refrigerators sometimes get ninety from
flesh, fowl, or fish, kept too long in
them. Xo remedy for purifying such
receptacle, so simply as Limit cofi'ce,
can bo employed.
CirniRT Draruxo. rut cherries
three inches deep on the bottom of a
porcelain-lined kettle. Throw in sn?ar
to sweeten, and half a teacup of water,
and sprinkle over enongli flour to
slightly thicken the juice. Roll out
raised Graham biscuit crust shortened
with cream about an inch thick, which
spread quite over the cherrio3. Cover
the kettle tight (shutting the cover in
with a cloth spread over the top if need
be), and cook steadily on the top of
the stove, taking care that it shall not
burn, three-quarters of an hour or so,
until the crust is well cooked. The
same may be more safely steamed if
the conveniences are at hand. Another
way is to put the cherries into a nnp
pie or pie dish, cover with thick crust,
and bake in the oven. Excellent for a
breakfast dish. r

II timorous.
Ax AMi'aixo anecdote is told of a well
known French general who played a
conspicuous part in a cavalry charge.
This gallant warrior had been severely
wounded on that occasion, having re
ceived a- sabre rut on the head and a
bullet in his left thigh. Such an allow
ance might have satislied a man of quiet
tastes, but was far from sufficient for
the fire-eating general. In relating the
charge, which he did at every dinner
paitr, he was in the habit of throwing
in l.a'.f a dozen bayonet thrusts and a
couple of stray splinters from a shell,
and he invariably appealed for corro
boratiim of his narrative to an aid-decamp
who had ridden by his side. On
one occasion having imbibed more than
his nsual allowance of '-17 Chateau
Yqnem, he drew a more than usually
startling picture of his riddled and per
forated condition. A cannon ball Lad
killed his horse, a dozen sabres had
descended at once on Lis head, a couple
of lances Lad passed through each of
his arms, and all the bullets and bayo
nets of Germany seemed to have given
each other a rendezvous in his body !
"You remember it well, don't you," lie
added, turning to aid-de-camp. The
well-trained subaltern had suffered long
in silence. The bayonets, bullets,
lances, etc., he had got used to by long
practice, but the cannon-ball was the
last straw that broke the camel s back.
"Xo, general. I don't remember it

know as well as I do that the very
cannon-ba'l that killed your horse

with his own importance, he said to a

noisseur, and answered :. "You dance
very badlr." "That is all prejudice,
replied the bear. A mule that heard
this dialogue cried out : "Bravo,
bravo, bear ! there never was, nor never
will be a better dancer." So sooner
was this eulogy uttered than the bear's
arrogance vanished ; he felt the reproof
and modestly exclaimed : "When the
monkey disapproved of my performance
I begau to doubt whether he told the
truth : but now I believe that I dance
very ill." Moral : Authors, critics,

ment of the war of races whirh would
inevitably follow the acquisition of in
dependence by (.'u ba through the iutiT
ventiou of the United States.
Deduct, now, these foreigners from
tho 700,000 non-Africans, and we have
507,017 native Creoles to hold their own
against 700,000 negroes. It should also
be borne in mind that many of these
people who call themselves Creoles
would le pronounced by any expert to
have a fair proportion of nesrro blood
in them, and could not be relied upon
to side with the whites in an enier-
Another fact not to be lost siidit of is
that while the native white or Creole
population of the island is pretty nearly
equally divided between the two sexes,
there are among the colored people two
males to every female, so that the gov
ernment of independent Cuba would be
administered by negroes from the start;
and the nuuiene;d suixrionry of these
latter, at the polls or on the field, would
lc so obvious that they would attract
to their party the Chinese (Mwlies, the
Indians from Yucatan, the dregs of the
foreign population generally, and even
many educated bnt unscrupulous Cre
oles; just as the blacks of South Caro
lina Lave nttracted to their standard
Gov. M oses, a former officer of the Con
federate army, aud hundreds of other
equally unprincipled white men.
The people of lhe United States, we
have reason to believe flora evidences
presented to us on all hands will never
approve any act of Congress having for
its object the creation of another negro
Kenublic on this continent or Its adja
cent islands. Xor is there any danger
of Congress niaking.or even attempting.
such a blunder. If the 1,400,kki inhabi
tant of Cuba or even a two-thirds ma
lorityof the men over twenty-one years
of age were ot puro Spanish descent,
and thev were otiiviuir. even prema
turely and unwisely, for independence,
the sympathies ol our people would ie
with them ; but these Creole gentlemen
who come to us bonsting tluit they have
proclaimed immediate emancipation on
the island, and that the nrss use nicy
will make of their independence, if they
achieve it. w ill le to tianslorm the no
t-rated slaves into voters, must think us
a nation of simpletons it they expect
aid or comfort from us in any such un
dertaking. Wr have too many negro
gorernnicntsof our ow n, without aiding
to create foreign ones.

EXPLANATION AND ELABORATION
OF WANAMAKER & BROWN'S NEW PLAN.
Houses doing a credit business provide for losses on bad debts, Interest on long-standing
accounts, capital locked up. etc. To bear such losses themselves would drive them out of business.
'Therefore a per cent, is added to the price of each article sold, to cover this leakage, and Oa. "

Under the Cash PayiacM system one pays only for what gets, and contributes nothing to a Sinking

By this Radical Chaa we shall lose some of our customers no doubt, but wo will gain ten where
we lose one, the advantages being so great to all who can avail themselves of them. So we say
CASH THROUGHOUT.
