When good butter, packed in good condition, and having no appearanoe of wiiite speoks, is found afterward to be speckled, the cause is due to im pure salt. Some salt contains lime, either in form of gypsum or ohloride, and when mixed with butter this in a short time becomes decomposed,form ing lime soaps with the fat of the but ter. These soaps are insoluble and cannot be washed out of the butter by any after treatment. Tho longer the butter is kept, the worse this defect becomes, until in time the effect of the salt is to produce a bad flavor in the butter, thus destroying its quality as well as its appearance. Only the very best* of salt should be used in butter or cheese making, for the same defeot will appear in cheese thus salted. The cost of the salt is so small that it is mistaken economy to spoil the produot to save a few cents in a month.—New York Times, HINTS ABOUT BTTTLDINO SIT/OS. Professor F. H. King, of the Wis consin Experiment Station,gives some hints about the building of silos that are worth remembering by those who may have occasion to construct one of these storage repositories, namely: The walls must be solid and rigid, aud in a wooden silo the lumber used must be of some kind that will not readily decay, and which lIRS little tendency to warp. Neither Norway or Florida pine, nor common hem lock, oak, or basswood are suitable for silo linings. White pine is the best available material and this should be cut narrow, or not more than six inches wide. Silos should be deep, and not broad and shallow, because the pressure needed for tho preserva tion of the forage increases rapidly with depth, but on account of the great weight and pressure it is diffi cult to build a sqrare silo deeper than twenty to thirty feet. When the silos were first introduced they were rather shallow, and the forage was pressed by adding weights of plank, stone and earth, but it was soon discovered that, with more depth the requisite press ure could be secured without any con siderable additional weight. New York Sun. SALT THE STOCK. The need for salt is greater at the fall of the year than at any other. I The cattls and sheep are feeding on ! pasture in which there is about ninety per cent, of water. In addition to this they drink copiously, possibly somewhat more than the quantity in the grass they eat. The water lost by copious perspira tion too, is greatly in excess of that at j any other time of the year. The urine • voided is in the same excess. Now, : these excretions, both from the skin : as well as from the kidneys, not to mention the milk, contain a large quantify of salt, which must be sup plied in the food. Thus the sabaceous matter exuded from the skin has thirty-seven parts of salt in each 1000 parts of it; while the actual water perspiration has seven parts in 1000, and the urine has three per cent. The milk has some salt in it, and thus al together, at this season, when all these excretions are in the most active con dition and the cow is drinking a lar ger quantity of water than is usual at other times, the supply of salt must be proportionate to tho loss of these ways. Doubtless disease is need by want of salt that is not supplied, and farmers should take note of these in sects for their guidance. A cow needs fully two ounces of salt daily, which is nearly a pound a week.—Southern Farmer. FEED FOR PIGS. Cows and hogs go well together, writes A. Selle, of Wisconsin. Fol lowing after the cattle and con suming the skimmilk produces an ani mal well adapted for breeding pur poses. The tendenoy of corn-fed hogs is toward a fineness of bone and weak ness of the muscular system. Milk and clover countaraot this bad effeot. By using the proper foods two litters a year can be had from each sow. Wean the pics when six to eight weeks old, and feed middlings or cornmeal and skimmilk. Many farmers do not think it is profitable to raise two lit ters a year, but if the pigs are fed milk in winter it is good practice. Of coarse a dry warm stable is necessary to get best results. While milk is the best single foo.l for hogs I prefer to use it with other feed. Why favorable results are ob tained, I cannot sav, unless it be that ordinary hog feed is too concentrated, and milk acting as a diluent inoreases its value. I have always fed my milk after it has clabbered, although other good feeders use it sweet. In summer it will curdle in thirty-eight to forty hours. In winter add warm water or plaoe it near the stove. Clabbered milk if fed alone and too liberally forms lumps. This may be pfevented by stirring thoroughly before feeding, or pouring from one vessel to another. The safest and most profitable method is to mix the milk with an equal quan; tity of middlings or cornmeal. This will do away with tho danger from lumps. If the pigs are not being crowded for fattening, add some clover hay. Hogs to be raised profitably mast be ready for butchering at eight or ten months, tf the pig* have a goo.l pasture after being weaned, and are kept in good condition by giving •kiunUk aud mill feed, a weight of 250 to 300 pound* can easily be ob tained at the above-mentioned age. With young animals a bushel of corn will ordinarily produce an increase of eight to twelve ponnds of pork. Even better results will be obtained if skim milk is fed at the beginning of the fattening period, and the meat will have a more delicate flavor. Among tiie wealthier olasses there are many who are willing to pay an extra cent a pound for pork produced under the proper conditions and pat up in an at tractive manner. It pays to cater to this demand. —American Agriculturist. HYACINTHS. The bulb catalogues that come to us by every mail are gentle hints that summer is passing rapidly away, and we must prepara not only for another spring's flowers, but ior the window garden as well. The Dntch bulbs are admirably adapted for this wcrk, as, with proper care, flowers from them can be had al most as soon as winter's hand has re moved the more hardy forms from our gardens. But to have the window garden we must do our part right early; we must get ready now. If you want flowers from bulbs in your win dow this winter, get them now, and now don't mean this month, this week, or this autumn. It means the mo ment you have finished reading this artiole to sit down and write your or der for all you want, and send by first mail. The question of soil is one that is sadly overrated; while it is true that the hyacinth prefers a sandy soil, made very rich for some previous orop, and a situation where the roots are always near the -water, it is equally true that very fine flowers can be pro duced on heavy soils that are not rich. To produce a good bulb is a very different matter from flowering one already produced. When a bulb has perfected its growth under favorable circumstances, the development of its flower is a foregone conclusion. It must and will flower under any con dition of soil or climate. Without soil of anv kind, simply in glasses of water and in the heaviest clay, equally good results have been attained. Tho great cause of failure comes from overestimating their hardiness. They are classed in the catalogues as hardy, when in reality they are far from it. It is true they will most generally withstand the rigors of onr winters, and flower fairly well, but for good success frost should never reach the bulbs, and in Holland, where our bulbs are chiefly produced, it never does touch them. There the beds, many acres in extent, are mulched with reeds cut from the ditches, which are but a few rods apart in that coun try,to the depth of four to six inches, which thoroughly excludes all frost. This protection is necessary from the fact that much of the preparation for the flowers the bulbs make during the winter when seemingly at rest. If the ground is frozen this work cannot goon, the result being that when Bpring opens the flower spikes shoot forth in a weak state, whioh they would not have done had protection been afforded them. For the border we prefer the second or third sized bulbs, as these can re main undisturbed for two or three years. Large or what we call first class bulbs will give larger spikes or flowers, but they will be sure to break into small bulbs the first season, and they are of but little value after, while the small bulbs which proper care will be good for three years, and if the bed in which they are planted is to be used for annuals, which is the better way, they need not be replaced until they have flowered three seasons.— New England Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Keep the turkeys in full feed. Sunflower seed add lustre to the plumage. Oats are one of the very best feeds for moulting hens. The Pekin ducks develop early an 3 are good market fowls. Geese thrive on plenty of good pas turage and plenty of water. Train the young poultry to roost in the poultry house from the start. Generally sheep can be wintered cheaper with grain than without it. To be certain of having fresh eggs care must be taken to gather them daily. A pound of copperas dissolved in two gallons of water makes a good dis infectant. A little lime-water applied to plants occasionally will kill the little worms in the soil. If ducklings are exposed to wet weather they are apt to take cramps in their lege. Wheat and corn, half and half, was the best grain feed for hogs at the Il linois Experiment Station, wheat alone next, and corn alone third, all being fed dry. It is time that the chicks that are huddling together in the coop in whioh they spent their early days were putin the houses they are to oc cupy this winter. A subscriber writes that he has fed silage successfully for four years. In cold weather it is a warm, nourishing feed. He has also fed shook fodder, cut on the aaine machine used for cut ting ensilage. This feed, after being run through the machine, will be eaten up olean. If some of the poor est parts are rejected, mix with them a little bran or. ground feed, and they will be eaten also. Feeding Unseed oil to fattening steers is the novel suggestion made because oil is so cheap. Dr. Voeloker experimented with this oil, giving } to i pint daily to each bullook, but the animals made no gain. Wheu given enough more linseed cake to ! supply an extra } pint of oil, they ! nearly two pounds daily. Moral: j Feed linseed meal as freely as the ani j mai will thrive upon it. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. SHU! BOSOM POLISH. A polish for shirt bosoms Is made by melting together one onnoe of white wax and two ounoes of sper maceti. Heat gently and turn into clean shallow pan; when oold out or break into pieces aboat the size of a hazel nut and pat in a box or bottle for use. When making boiled starch add a little of the wax in the propor tion of one hazel nut to twelve bos oms. When ironing smooth first the bosom very carefully, then plaoe a olean cloth over it and iron lightly, remove the cloth and with a olean, smooth, pretty hot iron, iron rapidly. When about ironed dry, take a cloth wrung dry in cold water and rub lightly over the bosom, following with the hot iron immediately.—Buffalo Commersial. FACTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS. It is well to know Grease may be removed from wool en goods by sponging Bame with strong oold coffee. Black silk may be renovated by a thorough sponging with stale beer placed between newspapers and pressed with hot iron. Two parts of crude oil and one part of turpentine removes white spots from furniture and makes as good a polish as one oan desire to have. Fine laces may be oleaned by being packed in wheat flour and allowed to remain twenty-four hoars. Food may be kept hot by covering and setting in a pan of hot water. A little kerosene mixed with staroh gives a gloss to oollars and ouff-s. Lobsters should always be boiled at home.—New York World. OARE OF STUFFED FURNITURE. The flat willow abomination known as a furniture whip, should never be allowed to touch stuffed furniture, no matter howoheap the covering, for the only result of its use is irreparable in jury. The dust which sifts through the oovering settles in the stuffing, and the sole action of the whip is to bring this dust to the surface in ridges, which all future dusting of the outside fails to remove. Furniture which has been treated in this way on examination will bo found to bear dark marks corresponding to the stroke of the whip and deliontecolors, especially in brocatelle, ' their freshness and beauty very ion, not from usage, but a mistake idea of their care. All furniture should be protected from the dust as much as possible. When a room is swept, all the lighter articles should bo removed, and the heavier ones covered closely. A whisk broom and soft cloth should be then employed to remove the particles in the coverings. First a good brushing with the broom, then a thorough wip ing with the cloth, which may be dampened if the fabric will stand it. The woodwork is best cleaned with a paint brush, followed by a damp cloth. The dust which sifts through to the stuffing and springs never shows itself, and while some superfine housekeep ers may object that to leave it undis turbed is uucleanly and unhealthy, yet all the whipping in the world would not remove but a tithe of what is inside, besides marking the cover ing forever.—Detroit Free Press. RECIPES. Tomato Toast—One enp of cold cooked tomatoes, any bits of cold beef (finely minced), put on slices of but tered toast. Set in oven and brown. Graham Gems—One pint sour milk, two tablespoonfuls molasses, one tea spoonful soda. Thicken with graham flour,drop in pau with spoon half the size you want them when baked. Ham Patties—Chop bits of boiled ham very fine (those unfit for slicing). To this add- tor one pint of meat one cup of bread crumbs, one tea spoonful white pepper, one saltspoon ful celery salt, one-half CUD of milk. Mix, fill patty pans and bake twenty minutes.

An aristocratic yonng lady of Magdobnrg, Germany, bad spent some time at the country st at of her uncle, and a yonng cavalier from Berlin had been paying mnch attention to her. Everybody thought it would be a good match for both, and affairs went on swimmingly, until the day drew near when the young lady was to return home. The nearer the day came the more disappointed were the young miss and her mother at the failure of the young man to ask the all-import ant question. Finally, they left their relative's house in great dismay, and just before leaving the young lady re marked to her uncle that it probably was an well for both, as her mother had not muoh nse for such a "ohioken hearted son-in-law." They left on a train on the narrow gauge railroad, connecting the valley with the nearest town. After they had gone the young man questioned the uncle why the young lady had gone away so angry and hardly noticed him when bidding good-by. The uncle, a blunt ex soldier, repeated the remark made by bis niece when leaving to the young man, who was toucbed to the quiok by the insinuation of cowardice contained therein. He was very muoh in love with the lady, and had abstained from broaching the subject on account of not considering it proper to propose anywhere but at the young lady's home, which he intended visiting be fore long. This remark, however, aroused his sense of honor, and, without saying another word, he mounted his horse, which happened to stand ready for an outing, and galloped after the traiD, which had left a quarter of an hour before. Owing to benign Providence and the management of this country railroad, he caught the train beforo it had reached the next station, Kraow. Ho spied the young lady at the window of a first class compartment, and, riding up to the train before it came to a full stop, almost shouted, hearth lessly, "My dear Miss , I ask for your hand. Yes or no?" In the station of Kraow, just as tho train arrived, a "Yes" was joyfully given by the yonng miss, and tearfully approved by her mamma.—New York News.
