Mm.king Qcalitiw.—A copious flow of
milk, sustained through many months, is a
uoaiitv whicft has been produced by art in
domestication. W ild cattle rarely pronde
more than enough milk to rear their own
salves, and the flow of it is of compara-
lively short duration, Small in volume,
the milk is rich in quality; but the laeteal
organs soon dry off again. This, of course,
is m harmony with the requirements, of
the young animals in a wild state, and is a
correlation of »he roving life and the hap-
haaard feeding of the dams. More milk
than the calf requires under such condi
tions would be a waste of material energy
which nature does not encourage. It would
moreover, be an eccumbrance to the
mother. Wild cattle are neither good
milkers, nor good fatteners, and in parts
of England where calves are allowed to ran
with (heir domesticated dams generation
alter generation, the breed of such animals
are not famous for milk-giving. Like that
of the mare and ewe, the milk u smaller
in quantity, rich iu quality, and of short
duration. The desultory and irregular
sucking of the calf or foal or lamb is not
conducive to the development of a large
flow of milk, and distinctly tends to
shorten the flow. Ha id-milking of a sim
ilar character has tuc same effect, Y ouag
people are allowed to learn to how to milk
on cows which are going dry for calving,
not on those which are still in full flow.
>iew beginners soon dry up s cow’s milk,
and bad milkers do the same.
Ueavy milking properties, then, are ar
tificial, in the sense that they have been
developed nnder domestication, and, by
careful breeding, for a given end; yet, like
many other qualities, which are little more
ihan mere germs in nature, they become
heredity by long us^ge. Few sorts of ani
mals, if any, are more susceptible than
cattle of being moulded into what we
want, no physical quality is so easily train
ed and developed as mat of giving milk,
it is a funebou, wnich, constantly varying
of itself, can be dwarfed or extended at
will. iJy means of intelligent training,
Kind treatment, and intelligent breeding, u
can be developed and made hereditary; an
opposite system keeps it in a state of na
ture. The nature ot a cow and the food
she receives have a great deal to do with
her milking powers; quick and silent hand
milking cows baa all along tendered great
ly to the development of the lacteal glands
and this development has liccome heredi
tary in our best milking breeds. The ewes
ot the Earzac breed ot sneep, from whoee
milk the famous Roquefort cheese is made
in France, have been hand-milked tor gen
erations, so that ibeir milking properties
are now considerable and inherited. 13y
repeatedly exciting the teats it is even poe-
ttiuie to cause an animal that has never
tiorue offspring to yield a small quantity
ot milk, and a cow sometimes remains
barren several years alter having had a
calf, giving a pretilable quantity ot milk
all the while.
How is it With Your Euttki.—To fas
tidious persons butter can be spoiled before
(he milk leaves the stable; it can be spoil
ed by the filth; or unhealthy condition of
a cov, by a careless milker, by dirty pails
or pans, and in numberless ways. To avoid
all this every process should be under the
munsgement of one intelligent and cleanly
person. To begin at the tiegmning, all of
the cows should be good, healthy animals
and rich milkers. A single scalawag will
deteriorate the gilt-edge quality ol the but
ler and detract irom the profits. Then
their feed should be suitable m quality
sed quantity; the water absolutely iresh
and pure, stabling clean and comlortable,
tree from foul odors. The milking must
be looked after closely to insure its being
done in a cleanly manner with clean hands.
ExeKuiKHCKD fence-builders and others
who use wood in the rough for posts, ties,
Ho., unite in the opinion that timber cut
in summer, while the bark will yet pee)
ireely. is much more durable than that
tailed in the winter. There is less of so
luble sap in the truuk and limbs to absorb
moisture, teimem, and induce decay.
In husking, be careful to sort out all the
poor ears and soft nubbins. Put only
sound corn in the crib. Give the nubbins
10 the p gs. It will not do to feed such
tood to horses;they need good sound grain.
Feeding green corn to pigs and fatting
begs should be begun judiciously. Don't
overfeed. For the best results, fatting
swine should be btougbt to full feed with
quite a* much care as a steer.
The proper way to test the butter from
Jersey cows, considering the rivalry now
existing, is to get all the best animals to
gather and allow the milking, churning
and preparing to be done under the ob
servation of a committee, as each owner
differs in the quantity of salt used and the
manner of working ont the milk, which
may affect the weishc
Thk best results from wood ashes arc
secured by adding a small proportion of
common salt. Ashe* contain all the min
eral elements of the plant, and they exert
a good influence in unlocking fertility that
would not be otherwise available, in burn
ing anything the chlorine it contains is car
ried off with the smoke and sail, chloride
ot sodium supplies the deficiency.
An old poultry raiser, who believes In
milk for fowls, says, “it is meat and dnuk
both. Some of thv nnest chickens 1 ever
saw were raised upon the free use of milk
with their food, hens Jay as well, or
better, when furnished with this than any
snown. article offered them. •’
As a wain for the trunks and utaBChes

How to Hanoi Bams.—A wagon loa
ded with hams drove up to a curb near
where a couple of gentlemen were
standing, when one of them asked the
other why it was that nearly every one
hung their hams by the hock or shank?
The reply was “I suppose it is more
convenient.The first speaker stated
that it was probably the case, bnt that
it was not the correct thing to do. The
string should be put through the oppo
site end and the ham hung the small
end down. When done in this manner,
families and others would find that they
would rarely, if ever, have a spoiled
ham. The reason given was that the
socket in which the hip joint worked
would collect the juices of the meat
above it, and having no ehanee to filter
through the flesh and evaporate, it
would remain in the eup or socket, and
then putrify. He stated also that he
always hang his own in that manner
and never had any diffioidty with his
meat. It was always as sweet abobt
this bone as any other part of the ham,
if not more so
Facts About Flour.—Flour is pecu
liarly sensitive to the atmospheric influ
ences, hanoe it should never be stored
in a room with sour liquids, nor where
onions or fish are kept, nor auy article
that taints the air of the room in which
it is stored. Any smell perceptible to
the sense will be absorbed by the flour.
Avoid damp cellars or lofts where a free
circulation of air cannot be obtained.
Keep in a oool, dry, airy room, and not
exposed to a freezing temperature uor
to intense summer or to artificial heat
for any length of time above 7tk> to 75o
Fahrenheit. It should not come in
contact with grain or other substances
which are liable to heat. Flour should
be sifted and the particles thoroughly
disintegrated and then warmed before
baking. This treatment improves the
color and baking properties of the
dough. The spouge should be prepared
for the oven as soon as the yeast has
performed its mission, otherwise fermen
tation sets in aud acidity results.
Gamk , Salads.—Cold grouse, par
tridge and pheasaut may be used in this
way: Cut them into joints and put
them into a pie-dish; season with salt
and pepper, aud t>our over them the
juice of a lemon aud about two table-
spoonfuls of very fresh salad oil; let
them remain in this for three or tour
hours. Having cut up and dried a
fresh lettuce, place it iu a flat dish and
arrange the pieces of game which have
been in the oil and lemon juice neatly
in the centre; over the game pour a
salad sauoe, which should be of the con
sistency of thick cream Oruament the
top with slices of hard-boiled egg, fillets
of well-washed and scraped anchovies,
and garnish with tiny bits of parsley.
Cold chicken or the white meat from a
cold turkey out iuto small pieces may
be treated in this way.
A New Idea in Bread Makino.—
(Stale but pefectly saeet Aome- made
bread can be disposed of iu this way:
Boak it iu milk or water till soft, then
mix it with your sponge. Squeeze the
milk or water from it before adding to
the sponge; its presence will never he
perceived in the new bread. A some
what similar economy can be practised
in regard to buckwheat cakes; take
those that are left at breakfast, break
them iu small pieces aud put them iu
the fresh batter; they will soon be com
pletely assimilated, and the cakes will
be even better for having them in the
batter; they will be of a more decided
brown, and have a smoother surtaoo.
Escalloped TuRKEr.- Moisten brjad
crumbs with a little milk; butter a pan
and put in it a layer of crumbs, then a
layer of chopped (not very line) cold
turkey, seasoned with salt aud pepper,
then a layer of crumbs, aud to on until
the pan is full, if auy gravy or dres
sing has been lelt, add it. Make a
thickening of one or two egt s, half a
cup of milk, and quarter of a cup of
butter and bread crumbs; season, and
spread it over the top; cover wi h a pan,
bake half an hour, and then let it
brown.
Jersey Pudding.—Oue pint of sweet
milk, five Boston crackers rolled fine
and soaked in it over night; halt a cup
of butter, three-quarters of a cup of
sugar, four eggs, oue eup of raisius,
naif a teaspoonful of cloves, half a tea-
spoonful ot oinnumou, half a nutmeg.
Bake and serve with “yellow sauce,”
made as follows: Oue-third of a cup of
butter, beateu light, two-thirds of a
cup of sugar aud the yolk of au egg.
Mix well, aud pour on it one cup of
boiling water. When it cooks a lititle,
add the beateu white of the egg, stir
ring in a spoonful at a time.
White Candy —White candy made
from this recipe has the merit of being
pure: One pound of sugar, two thirds
of a tumbler of water, oue teaspoonful
of vinegar, a puce of butter the size of
a walnut, half a teaspoonf ul of cream of
tartar; boil for tweuty minutes, without
stirring. Pour on buttered plates to
oool, then butter your hands and pull;
have a little vanilla or lemon iu a sauce
plate aud wet your bauds with it ocean-
iouaily.
Castor fob Boilino Eoos.—For
breakfast boiled eggs, little wire stands
are now sold. They are the shape of a
tiny castor, with sockets for three, four
or six eggs; in the midulj is a handle—
a long wire loop. Place the eggs iu
their sockets and stand the egg-castpi
in a saucepan of boiling water. The
castor can then be lilted out, wiped dry
and placed on the breakfast table, when
the required number of minutes have
elapsed.
Louisiana Cream Cheese.—Have a
clear white Cotton bag in which to pour
a large bowl of clabber; hang it up, and
let it drip for two hours; then empty
into perforated cheese moulds of differ
ent shapes—stars, flowers or fruit; let
it remain in them until wanted for tea.
Carefully turn it on a plate, and have a
pitcher of noh sweet jream with sugar
and grated nutmeg in it. Serve the
oheese m saucers, and cover with cream
and sugar.
Mbndino Lack Curtains. Old lace
curtains that have little holes in the
netting can be made to appear whole
when they are lauudned. Take h piece
of laoe, or very thin muslin, aud when
the curtain is scratched starch this piece
also and put it oyer the spot which
needs mending. j.i will show very little
at all, and the starch will keep it in
piaoe.
If Mrs. P. will apply dry buckwheat
flour at night she will be delighted to
find in the morning the grease spots
have totally disappeared without injury
to the texture or oclor of the ohoioeet
fabric. The above is so valuable a fact
that it is a pleasure for me to give the
knowledge to youi numerous readers.
HUMOROUS.
A brilliant idea: “Yon are looking
bad,” remarked Snowberger to Colonel
PercyYerger. “What’s the matter?”
“The doctor says my luugs are effected
and that I must not take more than
three drinks a day." “I would try some
other doctor. ” ‘ T did, aud he said the
same thing.” “Well, then, if each one
of them said you could take three drinks
a day, that makes six drinks.” “I nev
er thought of that before. I’ll see the
rest of the doctors in Austin, and if
they all say I can take three driuks a
day, that will make about sixty drinks a
day, aud that is as much as is good for
an iuvalid.”
