Farm, Garden and Household. A COTTAOE WATEII-FILTER. Thane who cannot afford to buy a filter may easily make one. Stnir a piece of sponge in the hole of a flower pot, place above this a layer of peb bles, then a layer of coarse sand, and above this a layer of pounded charcoal three or four inches in depth. Another layer of pebbles should be placed above the charcoal to prevent it from being Btirred up when the water is poured in. The contents of the flower pot should be occasionally renewed. Hut by a small addition to this a cottage filter may be made which, for practical use, is quite equal to the most expensive filter of corresponding size. It consists of two flower pots, one above the other, the lower one fitted with a sponge and filtering layers as above described, and the upper one with a sponge only. The upper pot should lie the largest, and if the lower one is strong the upper one may stand on it, or a piece of wood "vith a hole to receive the upper pot may rest on the brim of the lower one. The two pots thus ar ranged are placed upon a three-legged stool with a hole in it, through which the projecting part of the lower sponge passes, and the water drops into a jug placed below. The upper part serves as a reservoir, and the sponjre stops the coarser impurities, and thus the filtering layers of the lower one may be used for two or three years without being renewed if the upper sponge l>e Occasionally cleaned. Care must le taken to wedge in the upper sponge tightly enoogh to prevent the water passing through the upper pot more rapidly than it can filter through the lower one.— Leisure Hours. MA KINO PICKLES. I give the method commonly used by farmers around Boston for pickling cucumbers, beans, onions, cauliflowers, Ac. Provide good tight casks or bar rels. Empty beef or pork barrels are excellent; molasses hogsheads will answer, though more apt to be leaky. Take out one head from each cask, and mount them on the other head upon blocking high enough to admit of draw ing off the brine from a hole near the bottom. A light cellar is the best place to mount the casks. Provide also for each cask a loosely fitting head about half an inch smaller than the chine of the cask. When the vegeta bles are brought in from the field they are assorted, if it is desired to market them separately, or are pickled together if to be marketed as "mixed pickles." They are then well washed in cold water, and placed in the casks, and im mediately covered with a brine made strong enough to float a potato. The loose head is placed over them and loaded with stones, to keep the pickles under the brine. After a few days a fermentation takes place; the scum which rises to the surface should be removed every day or two, and at the same intervals the brine should be drawn off at the bottom of each cask and poured over the pickles again. This process will equalize the strength of the brine, and prevent its becoming too fresh at the surface. When the fermentation subsides, the pickles will need no farther care, except to keep them constantly covered with brine. A few days before marketing, take them from the brine with a dip net, and place thom in fresh cold water, which should be changed three or four times a day, till the pickles are quite fresh. They are then taken out of the water and placed in strong "white wine" (otherwise called "whisky") ▼inegar, spiced to suit the taste with pepper, allspice and cloves, and after standing over night are ready for sale. The old-fashioned style of scalding the vinegar is unnecessary, and the prac tice of "greening" the pickles in a copper kettle is very deservedly grow ing unpopular. The green color of all pickles is due to the small amount of copper absorbed from the copper kettle, and has nothing whatever to do with their freshness. Pickles prepared as above described are of a dull yellowish brown color, and are sometimes made a little brighter yellow by the harmless addition of turmeric.—[ IF. D.

The New England Farmer replies to the inquiries of a correspondent, when is the proper time to skim milk, and whether it is always desirable to remove the cream while the milk is sweet. Now, this is a difficult question to answer in a few words, partly be cause there are so many other condi tions connected with butter making all of which may have an important bear ing on tho question. Under certain conditions we would prefer to have cream sour when taken from the milk, or certainly very soon afterward. There is probably no month in the year when dairymen are so much annoyed by bad behavior in cream as in November, and at a time, too, when the milk may be kept an indefinite length of time with out souring. Wo might answer that when milk inclines to keep sweet for a long time, wo would prefer to have tb e conditions changed so that it should sour, and when it sours too readily, we should endeavor to keep it sweet. In July and August, milk set in open pans without ice, and in a warm room, inclines to sour too soon, before the cream has time to rise completely. At this time we should change the condi tions so that it should keep sweet longer. In cold weather the cream rises so slowly that it often becomes bitter in the pans. Here more heat is * wanted, even though it tends to sour the milk. So we would say in cold weather keep the milk where it will tend to grow sour in forty-eight hours, and in hot weather keep it from souring in less than twenty-four hours. We prefer to have milk that is set in open pans ready to skim in from twen ty-four to thirty-six hours, the year round, and just ready to sour when the cream is removed but not really sour, nor thick, like curdled milk. We prefer to have the cream slightly acid when it goes into the churn, summer and winter, because it usually conies to butter more rapidly, while the qual ity is equally good as from perfectly sweet cream. Milk that has become so sour as to curdle and remain in insoluble flake, will be caught in the butter in the form of white specks, much to its injury, both in flavor and keeping qualities. Simple souring, in its early stages, is not injurious to cream for making good butter. LAND FOB BALE. for Sale. I The well-improved farm of Kev. W. K.
