Milk Fkttuio.—“Why,” asks one of
our sunecriber^ “doe* it lake so much
greater bulk of cream to make a pound of
butter, when raised from milk, set in t
cellar, where the temperature is uniformly
at 60 degrees or less, than from milk set in
an upper room, Where,in summer the mer
cury stands much of the time at about 70
degrees?”
He also finds that he gets less butter
from a like quantity of milk, kept in the
cellar, than, in the warmer upper room, a
result that fccrttis fully with our own ex
perience in setting mtlk for butter making.
It may, on many farms, seem a necessity
to set the milk in the cellar of a dwelling
house. This happens during the hottest
weather, on iarms where there is no good,
cool dairy room, above the cellar. It a
basement could be built partly below and
partly above ground, so as to secure good
ventilation, and a comparatively dry at
mosphere, very good results might be
looked for.
The objection to a cellar for milk set
ting, is the usual dampness and want of
ventilation, Tbe air is not easily changed
and after a room has been used for some
weeks for carrying in warm milk twice a
day, it becomes much warmer than one
that is kept constantly closed.
Nearly all basement air m summer is
damp and damp Mr incline! to inorease
the relative bulk of cream, simply because
the water that is still mingled with nearly
all cream has not had the opportunity to
be dried out of it Cream raised in a warm
dry air is of the nature of condensed cream
a very small vuantity only being required
for a pound of butter. There is another
difficulty with cream raised in cellars. It
is so thin and watery that, ordinary skim
mers will not hold it but let it pass
through tne holes and mix in again with
the milk.
The cream from deep cans set in cold
water is uniformly thin and watery, and
cannot be skimmed, but is dipped oS
with dippers made expressly for the, pur-
pose, >’.{ | if.
Scalded milk, if set in shallow oaos in
the open air, throws up cream that repre
sents the opposite extreme, being almost
pure butter before it is churned.

Wht Not Mark a Laddbb?—There are
two principles to be kept in view in mak
ing ladders—lightness aud durability. The
material should be thoroughly seasoned;
basswood makes the best side pieces, al
though piue that is free from knots will
do. For a ladder 15 feet long* the side
pieces should be two inches wide at the
top, three and one-half inches at the bot
tom, and one and one-half Inches thick;
the icp round 14 inches long, the bottom
round 28 inches. The rounds should be
of tough oak or asb. For a laddei 29 feet
in length, the side pieces should be 2}x4,
and inches thick; top round 16 iuebes
long, bottom round 30 inches- round 18
inches apart from center to center; the
holes In the sides for the rounds to center
should be ane inch Hvery farmer needs
a set of ladders, s&y 10, 15, 20, and per
haps 25 feet in length, and then namt them
well and house them if possible, and you
will have something useful through a life
time.
In treating cows lor horn britilencss a
stock raiser in Austria found no good re
sulting from feeding bone-meal when the
water used from a spring was perfectly
soft—that is, without mineral matter. But
upon changing them to the water ot an
other spring, containing carbonate, sul
phate and phosphate of lime and chlorate
of magnesia in small quantities, the effects
were as follows: First. The animals
drauk half as much as before. Hecond.
The cows gave more and better milk than
before. Third. The worst diseased cows
at once began to get better, and this was
the first case in which any of them recov
ered without removal. Fourth. The oxen
showed far oetter condition than could be
previously attained on the best of food and
with the moit careful attention. Fifth,
No fresh cases occurred as soon as the
change of ws.er was introduced.
Fashions m Bedsteads. —The intro
duction of the brass bedstead into mod
em homes is, the greatest revolution
that has been attempted. A few years
ago these bedsteads were entirely un
known in Arueiioa, now one house alone
exhibits twenty different styles, and
there is little doubt that they will meet
with increasing favor. They are so
very handsome in appearance, are so
light and so easily moved from one side
of the mom to the other, and, above all,
they are so free from all impurities, as
no dost collects upon them, that proba
bly in time they will entirely supersede
those of wood. It has taken time to
prove that they do not lead to increase
of work in the need of constant polish,
but a wash has recently been invented
whioh renders the metal impervious to
the influence of moisture, aud so does
away with the principal objection to
their universal adoption. It is not nec
essary to speak of the marvels of decor
ation and carving which are introduced
into the modern bedstead by the fash
ionable decorator. Unlimited command
of money can secure any amount of it,
but it is not altogether to be deplored
that very few persons after all are in
this blissful position. Beds, like other
matters, are often the better for being
simple, and the housekeeper who sighs
with envy for for the ebony bedstead
inlaid with ivory or silver may be com
forted with the reflection that a hand
some brass bedstead, which fulfills the
intention of its construction, is more ap
propriate in homes where dollar? vre not
counted by thousands than the magnifi
cence oi carving and silver would be.
Shawl Straps.—Two pertty fancy
shawl straps are thus described; Take
two strips of French canvas thirty-eight
inches long and thirty-eight inches
wide; embroider them with bright col
ored Berlin wool, sew them down on
two strips of leather of corresponding
length and width, line with silk, sqd
finish the edghsall around with a crotch-
ered border. For the handle, take one
strip of canvas twenty-five inches long
aud three inches wide. Embroider, etc.,
to correspond with the strap. Sew tlie
ends of the handle over the straps so it
(the handle) can be slipped backward
or forward, Have the ends of straps
furnished with silver clasps. In fast
ening around tbe shawl have the straps
close enough together to make the han
dle bow-shaped. A less expensive aud
very pretty strap can be made of strips
of stout brown Holland, embroidered or
braided, lined, and the edges bound
with worsted braid, the ends furnished
with steel clasps, or buckles and eyelet
holes
By means of the drainage of land the
various chemical actions which take place
through the action of the atmosphere on
the surface soil are carried down to a grea
ter or less extent into the subsoil, for as
the water-level is lowered the air enters
from above to fill the cavities in the soil.
By drainage, also, the depth to which
roots will penetrate is increased, for roots
will not grow m the absence of oxygen,
and rot as soon as they reach a permanent
water level.
The Shropshire downs possess beautiful
symmetry ot form, fine quality and early
maturity of all their parts, a vigorous con
stitution and grand muscular proportions.
They are first-class shearers, carrying a
fine, compact coat, valuable at once for
wool and protection from chilling sleet-
storms. They stand close herding in large
numbers remarkably well, the ewes are
good mothers, aud twin lambs are not un.
usual.
Professor 8. T. Maynard, oi the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College says: ‘T
know of no other reason why the potato
fails to produce its true fruit, the potato
balls, than that the power of reproduction
by seed has been weakened by the forcing
process they have been subjected to for
tue past tea years by the propagation Irom
single eyes, cuttings, etc. Oilier plants,
the verbena, for instance, after having
been propagated several years from cut
tings, produce very few, if any, seeds.”
Among all the field crops which the far
mer grows there are few,if any,that afford
a more certain profit than winter rye,
whether It is sown for gram and straw or
for a green crop io feed stock in May. In
fact it is a good crop to glow for an early
spring pasture.
Every farmer or teamster should exam
ine his team harness often to see that no
part of it chafes or ruos the skin of his
lior«»—it is a good idea to keep it well
oiled, so that it will be pliable and soft.
Take good care of the dumb animals.
Estimating nitrogen at 221 c'mts per
pound, potash at 7 cents and phosphoric
acid at 9 cents, the Connecticut Agiicultu-
ral Experiment 8 tat ion states the commer-
eial worth of night soil at 30 cents per 100
pounds, or $6 per too., as the most lavor-
able reckoning.
The prices which were paid by the Na
tional tthorthorn Association for the vari

Shorthorn Record, $1,000.
A cleaning average of about 87 pounds
to the 100 was reached for five Victoria
swine slaughtered at the Chicago Fat
Stock Show, which is quite a phenomenal
figure. Anything above 80 pounds may
be considered excellent.
Much of the new Minnesota wheat
weighs out sixty-two pounds to tbe bushel.

Here is a recipe for a “liard-times
pudding”: Half a pint of molasses, half
a pint of water, two teaspoonfuls of so
da and one teaspoonful of salt, Thick
en with flour enough to make a batter
about like that for a oup cake. Put
this in a pudding-bag, or a pudding-
boiler; allow room to rise. It would be
safe to have the pudding-bag about half
full of the batter. Let this boil steadi
ly for three hours. Sauce to servo with
it is made thus; Mix two teaspooufuls
of either white or brown sugar with a
lump of butter the size of a butternut;
a little salt and one large spoonful ot
flour should be mixed with the butter
aud sugar. When free from lumps pour
boiling water slowly over it, stirring all
the time. Let it boil up once or twice
to make it of the desired thickness.
Salmon croquette are asked for, so
the recipe is repeated:—One pound can
of salmon chopped line, and add to ft
one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoou-
ful of chopped parsley, piece of half a
lemon and a dust of cayenne. Mix
thoroughly. Put a cup of cream on to
boil. Rub one tablespoonful of butter
aud two tablespoonfuls of flour togeth
er till smooth, and stir them into the
boiling cream. Stir and cook two min
utes. Stir it into the salmon; mix well,
turn out on a dish to cool. Form into
croquette shapes with a wineglass, roll
in beaten egg and bread-crumbs, and
try in olive butter; drain a piece of
brown paper until not a particle of fat
adheres. Serve on a napkin with par
sley garnish.
Now that sausage time is here,*the
breach receipt for baked mushrooms
cau be tried. The mushrooms must be
nicely prepared, and part of their gills
scraped away so as to make them some
what hollow; thia mushroom material
is mixed either with some sausage meat
or with a concoction of minced tongue
or ham, and a few bread-crumbs and
blitter. Each 'mushroom is filled with
this stuffing aud gently cooked in the
oven in a covered dish with a little piece
of butter. Whilst cooking, small cir
cles of toast, well buttered, are prepared,
and a mushroom neatly placed on each.
They are served on a hot dish and are
excellent.
Scotch cakes are economical so far
as eggs are concerned, and, if umde
with oare, will melt in the mouths of
children. To one pound of fiour allow
half a pound of butter aud a quarter of
a pound of sugar; let the butter stand
in a basin near the fire to soften, but
not melt; when soft, rub it and the fiour
together; then knead m the sugar.
RoU out in a sheet half an inch thick;
out out cakes about two inches square;
bake until they are a light brown. Put
them away in a stone jar, aud they will
in a day or two gather moisture enough
to be soft.
Cold Slaw.-—"Boat the yolks of foiif
eggs to a very light cream, then stir
gradually into them five tablespoonfuls
of cider vinegar. Add two or tnree ta-
biespooniuls of sugar, and stir tbe mix
ture over the fire until it begins to
thicken like boiled custard; then re
move and add a teaspoonful of butter
aud nearly a teaspoonful of anchovy
mustard. Set the sauoe upon ice to be
come cold, and pour it over the siloed
cabuage just belore serving. Celery is
often mixed with the cabbage tor this
salad,
New Way of Serving Oatmeal.—
Take a dessert-spoonlul of oatmeal,
place it, in the morning, in a tumbler,
aud fill up with new milk. Let it stand
all day, and take it for supper or for a
night-cap. The grains will have been
soltoned by their long soaking in the
milk, and it cau be eaten with a spoon.
This is said by its advocates to be a
spedfie against neuralgia, and is also
soundly recommended for sedentary
folks.
Bcffet-Clothr.—Side-board cloths
are used to protect the fine wooded or
marble surface of the piece of furniture,
Canton flannel, in delicate colors, is a
good material where there is not much
risk of spots—otherwise some material
that can be washed is preferred. A
handsome buffet-cloth can be made of
crash—tbe embroidery running around
the outside, and the extreme edges or
namented by bands of Mexican drawn-
work, as delicate as cobweb tracery.
