Setting Milk, tbe Vermont Dairy men 'a Association has recently held a meeting, and numer ous subjects of practical importance to farmers have leen discussed. Among other matters, that of setting milk has received considerable attention. Mr. J. W. Williams, of Olastonbury, Conn., stated that with the Cooley creamer ex treme cold was specially desirable only during the first few hours after placing the milk in the water. The cream when gathered, should stand a day or two to ripen, as time in churning wAuld thus be saved Mr. J. F. Furguson,of Burling ton, Vt, exhibited a new pan which is set upon wheels and is large enough to hold one milking. When Btralned the milk Is shoved back into a portable ventilated apartment, fitted with ice chamber, wire screens, convenlentdoors, and arrangements for skimming the milk and cooling the cream. Mr. E. S. Wood descriled the following experi ments in setting milk at various tem peratures. The trials were made in per cent glasses, the morning's milk from the same cow being set at each trial. The range of temperature is that noted during the day, no one sitting up nights to watch the Kperiments. At the time of making'each record, the cream line Vas clear and distinct. At the first trial the temperature near the glasses was between 80 and 90 degrees. In 31 hours there was twenty per cent, of cream ; in 10 hours eighteen per cent., and the same at the end of 24 hours. At the second trial the mercury stood at from 35 to 40 degrees ; in 31 hours there was forty per cent, of cream, but at the end of 10 hours it had shrunk to twenty-two per cent. It was then removed to a warm room, where at the end of 24 hours is stood at twenty-two per cent. At the third trial the mercury stood at from 70 to 73 degrees. At the end of two hours there was thirty-four per cent, of cream, in 10 hours twenty-two ier cent., and at the expiration of 24 lours but nineteen per cent. Information for Farmers. Corn cobs are said to be an excellent absorbent to place behind catt!e in stables ; the cobs soa k up a great deal of liquid and soon decay in the manure heap, adding their own substance to in crease its fetilizing value. An infallible remedy for smut in wheat is to soak the seed wheat in brine, and then dust it with un slacked lime. This is said to be a sure remedy. Among wheat-producing States Iowa takes first rank, Minnesota second, Illinois third and Wisconsin fourth. Ohio raises the most corn and oats. Pennsylvania leads them all on rye; California on barley, and Illinois on oats and corn. Uncle Jesse G. Hart says that lie has never known this remedy for horse colic to fail : Take a tablespoonful of lard not too soft and place on it about as much red precipitate as will lay on the point of a pocketknife blade, then give it to the sick animal, and if it fails to relieve him in fifteen minutes repeat the dose.

Have a box two feet high, and about two and a half wide the lengths as you require; fill half full of well pul verized soil ; prepare the cuttings with three eyes ; cut smooth below the bottom one ; place them in slanting position, with the last bud just above the soil ; take sixpenny white cotton cloth, and nail tightly over the box ; give warm soft water freely every evening; place the box in a sunny nook, and in a few weeks your box will be filled with grape vines ready for potting or planting in borders. Beans for Sheep. Beau straw is valuable for sheep, and when properly cured they eat it with avidity. In a chemical analysis of beans, it is found that they abound with a greater quantity of the elements of wool than any other grain or vegetable, to make sheep produce heavy fleeces. They will eat them with avidity, whole or ground, even in a damaged state. To store flocks during the winter season give generally a pint of beans jer day, and potatoes. Corn is good for fattening sheep, but not so valuable as beans, peas, oats, and most other grains, for the pro duction of wool. Pruning Vines. Few persons practice pruning cucum ber, melon, and other similar kinds of vines; still, it is just as beneficial, if properly done, as the annual pruning of the grape and other woody plants. The pruning should I confined, however, to the pinching off of the ends of shoots only. The Lightest Running, The Simplest, The Most Durable, The Most Popular SEWING MACHINES.
