r / FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.] l>air}' IVotrs. Although sa^t is used in packing butter, yet itTdoes very little to preserve it. Salt, however, retards the decomposition of caseous and albuminous materials left in it. There have been cases in which butter has been kept without salt for a long time. If you are having trouble "with the quality oi your muter, jusi ism'uu?u the scythe from the old apple tree, says the American Dairyman, and march out into the pasture and stay there until you have cut down every weed you can find. There is no weed known in botany that makes good milk; they are natural enemies of every product ol the farm and to dairy products in particular. The art of butter making will never reach perfection until we stop putting salt in the butter, says the American Dairi/rnun. It is a depraved taste that requires a s ilt taste in butter. The most critical judges in the old country never think of allowing salt to come near the butter, and after getting accustomed to it, there is all the difference between the two, that there is between salt and fresh fish, flesh or other dried or prepared food. Cheese ought to be eaten instead of so much meat. It is just the thing to take its place. But then we must have cheese not quite so aromatic with the putrid whey stored up in it, nor quite so stinging in its tas:e. There are many cheese factories where a hint of this nature can be applied with decided benefit. Make cheese people like and they will buy it. Thpvr huv othor things, not leaving out whisky and tobacco. That is the way the world goes. Mock >'ote f. Grooming the cows is not often done, but it would add to their spirit and comfort. "When a horse refuses to eat allow him to rest. It will injure him to make him do any laborious task. The D tirjmau thinks a yellow skin on a cow does not indicate yellow butter, necessarily, but does indicate yellow milk. Over one quarter of a million of hogs have died of cholera since last fall, and yet this loss wo.ild not have occurred, but for feeding too much corn and keeping hogs ;u (11th. This is the secret of the evil, and farmers might a* well realize the fact and save themselves further infliction. It is clear that the prevailing disease, itleiirn-nneumotiiu among cattle, slanders r~~?" i amon^ horses, foot rot among sheep, and cholera among hogs, can .never be held in check or stamped out so long as we allow iidiscrimite transportation of diseased iinimals, or animals from diseased herds or enclosures where diseased animals have quartered. ? Ohio Farmer. A great width between and prominence of the eyes indicates a teachable and tractable horse. Width between the ears indicates courage, nobleness and strength of character. Roundness and elevation between the eyes indicates mildness of disposition and desire to be caressed and to reciprocate kindness; but never trust one that shows much white above the pupil of the eye, or with white in that organ. While barn basements make warm and comfortable quarters for stock, there is reason for giving milch cows some exercise in the open yard every day, and on sunny winter clays for a consideraole length of time. It will increase the flow and value of the milk product, and will also help the cow to prepare for bringing forth a healthy calf in the spring. Too little air, light and exercise are bad for the cow at th s time. Poultry Xotes. Buckwheat is very good for poultry, although we think its merit is not to be compared with other grains for the same purpose. Decayed grain can never be fed with safety and should be shunned. Dirty rice or rejected wheat both make good grain feed and are sale. Do not forget that in winter time the birds need more and better feed than in summer. Give the noon meal of cracked corn, whole wheat and oats. The evening allowance may be whole corn and a full feed, which will last them advantageously through the iong nights. Hens often learn to eat their egsrs from eating the egg shells which are given to them with their food. They lind it easy to crush the shells which are thus scattered in their way. If you have plenty ot oyster and clam shells or ground bone, the amount of lime in the egg shells is scarcely worth saving for your fowls. The cross-bred fowl is often larger than any of the breeds of line bred stock. The prizes for dressed poultry in Kngt j _ - I u.. lana HJIVU UllCU ucuu v? wu Wj tiutn-uicu birds, just as in the race of cattle mongrel steers frequently carry away the prize for fattest weights. .Blood fr\>m pure varieties, however, was used in making the cross always. A constant supply of pure drinking water is equally as important as food. An inexpensive drinking fountain is. of course, the best method of securing this, but the heme made small shallow tin dishes are the next best tiling. It is true that a fowl or a chicken will often drink dirty water even when clean water is at hand, but this is no reason why they should be compelled to do so. Regularity in care and feeding is of the utmost importance. When the usual feeding time of the chickens arrive, if you are not on hand with the usual food they worry. They ccane their own ellorts in a great measure a;:d stand idle nnd expectant. Every approach, they think, is that of their keeper with his pail and long-handled spoon. Every disappointment adds to their impatience and uneasiness. and they are. in fact, fast losing flesh and go ng back on you. When fowls a e confined in limited quarters, the nests should be so constructed that they may be in darkness, or at least in twilight. This is an excellent preventive of egcr-eating. Locate the nests as f:>r from the windows as possible, and compel the hens to approach them through a long, low, cov CIU'l ??iiiV/U tuiuo v/4 c *? vr abrupt corners lo shut out the light. The benefit which fowls derive from eating charcoai is very marked. The best method of placing it before them is not well understood. Pounded chat coal is not in the shape in which fowls usually find their food, and hence is not very enticing to them. Corn burned on the cob and the rsfuse, which consists almost entirely of the grains reduced to charcoal and still retaining their perfect shaoe, is greedily eaten by them.?Poultry World. IIow to Get the .Host Butter. There are several things which affect the yield of butter from a cow of any kind. First, the food of a cow allects it: second, the manner of setting the milk, chiefly in regard to the time which it requires for the cream to rise: and third, the temperature at which this cream is churned. It has been shown by nnny careful ex- | periments, and by the results of long practice, that succulent food helps to produce a large quantity of fat in the milk, and also has such an effect upon the same, as to cause the cream to separate more completely from the milk, leaving less fat to be lost in the buttermilk. Hence, the use of ensilage, or, what is better for most farmers and easier to accomplish, the feeding of roots of an unobjectionable kind, such as mangels or sugar beets in the winter, and the use of some kind of meal, preferublv a mixture of corn meal and coarse middlings, with pasture in the summer. In winter the use of cut hay, or fodder. Further, *' ' ' r ? wlmn fhp rnillc 1C lias UCt'U 1UIIUU, I.UUU ouuu of the whole herd has been mixed together. and when the milk has been set for tliirry-six hours, and the cream churned at the end of twenty-four or thirty-six hours more, the largest product of butter was obtained. When these periods are shorter, or longer, the character of the cream differs, and there is a loss of butter in one or the i other of the settings of milk or skimj mings of cream. Hence it is most profitj able for a dairy to consist of as many { cows as will supply cream enough for I a churning at one milking, and to churn the cream of one milking by itself. Lastly, the temperature of the churning is of importance, both as to the time of ! churning, and the quality of the butter I made. An example from the records of j Houghton farm in regard to this point i will be exceedingly instructive, and they I fully accord with a great number of tests j made by the writer during several years I past. At Houghton farm, when the j whole milk of a cow (clover) was 1 churned at a temperature of seventy-four degrees, somewhat more than a half of | the butter was obtained: while at one | time actually less than half of tlie butter I was the result, and it required tnree ana sometimes four churninirs to procure all ! the butter. On the other liand, when j the criam was churned at a tem' perature of sixty-two degrees, all j the butter was obtained, or in | one case only from one and one-eighth : ounce to two and a quarter ounces from about forty pounds of milk remained in the buttermilk, and was procured at a I second churning. As double or treble ! churning is manifestly impracticable in a I business dairy, and is troublesome anyi where, it is very important to observe i evety necessary precaution in regard to i the temperature of the churning. In the j writer's dairy the regular winter churnj ing temperature was kept at sixty-two j degrees, while the summer temperature ! was fifty-five degrees. The temperature at which the milk is set and the cream is i kept, should also be uniform, so that the i character of the cream is always the same. It may be thought that a few degrees in the temperature of the cream is ! a small matter; but great results depend | upon small things in all human affairs, as well as in nature; and if a dairyman I would succeed in ms dusiucss, ue must j observe carefully all these small things. j ?American Agriculturist.

Mr. Percival Loweil, who accompanied the Corean embassy to the United States in ISSo. with the rank of foreign secretary and counselor, and afterward spent a whole winter in Corea as a guest of the government, has given his impres-1 sions of this strange land and its people in a book just published. Corea, or | i Choson, to use the nutive name, is among ! all the civilized lands in the world the j j one of which we know the least, and it j is abo one of the most curious. The J people aie akin to the Japanese, and j they obtained from China most of their I arts and learning, but they differ greatly | from both their neighbors, and in some ' respects the differences go very deep. There are no wheeled vehicles of any ! kind in Corea. and consequently no ! roads except rude tracks which are never I repaired. Bulls are the principal beasts j of burden. Horses are used to some ex: tent for riding. Travelers above the rank of the common people are usually j carried in a close palanquin, a sort of ! box without seat in which the unfortunI ate passenger must gather himself upon ' his haunches. There are no inns. The [ trave'er carries his own provisions and I depends for shelter upon private hospij tality. I Soon after her arrival in Soul, the. I capital of Corea, Mr. Lowell was preI sented to the king. He was received at ! the palace by a number of court officials ! in their costume of ceremony, which, in : spite of its oddity, was not without a ' certain picturesque beauty: : "It began with a hat made of finely ; woven siik in the form of a rounded ; cone terraced in front. On either side , of this projected wings, like gigantic ; ears, fitted into the lower part of the I crown, from which they stuck out at I right angles. They arc said to be ap; purtenances to typify the ready receiving i of his majesty's commands. The dress nrta rfimnncpH nf J1 lf>nf silk tlinic of a pale pink or an equally pnle blue, reach! ing to the ankles, and tied by a ribbon j 1 in a bow over the right breast. Outside of this was worn a belt, vectaugular in | shape, which fitted the body on the sides, its shortest diameter, and stuck out several inches in front and behind. I i As it would never have stayed on of itself, it was unostentatiously tied on securely by a sillcen cord. Sewn on to the tunic just below the chest was an embroidered plastron in gold thread, representing two cranes in flight, correspondingly littcd to each other by being mutually upside down. To the lower ranks is permitted but one of the birds. The crane is, in some sort, a Corean official symbol, as the dragon is a Chinese oae. Around the neck the tunic was cut out in an oval, and filling this, sown on to the inside of the stuff, was a white collar of cotton. On their feet, instead of the customary low shoe, they all -faore uigh boots, the tops of which were lost under the tunics. Those imparted to the wearers a certain accoutred appearance, suggestive of heavy weather. The reason of this reversal of the natural order of things, as it seems to us, I was at a loss to understand till after I had observed the ways of the court, when it no longer struck me as strange." j After tasting a coilation, with the | American minister (Jir. jp ootej ana vari: ous court dignitaries, the stranger was i summoned to the royal presence. Preceded by Mr. Foote and a Corean functionary named Hong, he tramped across several muddy courts, until he reached a flight of steps leading to an open pavilion where the king sat behind a table, j 4\No sooner had we reached the top of , the steps than Hong fell nearly flat on i his face?the usual Corean prostration ( before royalty?while we began a series i of three bows, and then continued alter- j nately bowing and advancing till the I j last one landed us on the further side of the table. His majesty rose for the in-! terview. lie was a man of about thirty years of age. In stature he was rather under the Corean height than over it. . He may have been five feet seven inches I without his shoes, which raised him an ' inch more. j ''The kin:: was dressed in whatresemI bled, in general, the court dress, and : differed from it onlv in the details. His hat was somewhat similar to that of the otiicials; but instead of being black, was of a very dark blue color. It also had n?inrre tU/iir ?'nrn etrfttrfhf" I Mil/ littj l?VIV oiui^nw ill) behind, as if folded in rest. His I tunic, which was after the same fashion I as theirs and similarly tied, was of a j brilliant, red?in Coiea the kingly color, j The belt was richer in material, but simi ilar in shape; and the plastron, instead 1 of having cranes embroidered on it, had , the Chinese dragon. In place of the boots, he wore the ordinary shoe. This, in some sort, carried out my theory of the mud, as he alone needs not to walk about. "His face was singularly pleasing?one of those iaces th-it you like from the moment you first see it, and that in time you grow to love; and my after-acquaintance with him taught me that his face was truly the mirror of his character. His smile especially was winning. As I stood there with his eyes fixed upon mine, a 'feeling crept over me that he was really as glad to see me as his words formally expressed. Presentations are not prolific in conversation. The fact is its own best expression. Like all moments which are long prepared for. it was quickly passed. To prolong an ef feet is in some sort to dull it. ~A few sentences and the interview was over." Another banquet was followed by a presentatiou to the crown prince, a boy of ten. who said what his attendants whispered in his ear. Then tea was served ; and the traveler was packed into his palanquin and carried away half frozen. The kin# cf C'orea is not only an absolute monarch, but he is believed to be of divine birth.

No woman is seen in the streets except a low c'ass of domestic s ervants who drawwater from tiie public wells, and no sign of the presence of woman is visible in the houses.

Speaking of the men who have known great men," says John Russell Young in the New York World, "I remember meeting a gentleman who had been a personal friend of Lord Byron. He told me a curious story. He was in Greece with Byron, and they were traveling together to Missolonghi. A heavy rain storm came on and they had to ford a river, and they came to a little Greek inn, riding horseback, and of course very wet. Byron and his friend wen* to their room until their clothes became dry. Byroa lay down upon his bed, put his arms under his head and said: " 'Do you believe in witches and warlocks?" ? 'Why?" asked his friend. " 'You know,' replied Byron, 'I am almost a Scotchman. I spent my early days in Aberdeen, and when I was a child a gypsy read my fortune. She told me that very important events would happen in my life at ten, twenty-eight and thirty-six. At ten I was a lord, by the death of my grand uncle. At twenty eight I was married. And now,' continued Byron, 'the third event comes. What wiU it be?" "My friend said to Byron: "Oh, that's all nonsense.' " 'No,' said Byron, shaking his head, and talking .in his slow, lisping way. 'Don't you disbelieve the witches and warlocks.' He died in ten days. "I remember asking this gentleman to give me his views of Lord Byron as dej rived from his intercourse with him. He said that Byron had an affected, j drawling, almost lisping voice, and the I general impression he made upon mm during their days in Greece together was of insincerity and selfishness. Symptoms of Hydrophobia. With regard (to the early symptoms' an animal that has the disease invariably , loses its appetite; and though this is i common in the majority of complaints, it should not be ignored, but should act | as a warning to owners to watch for other symptoms, which in the case of ! rabies speedily develop. The dog's manner changes; he shows a disposition to hide himself in corners or under chairs; in fact, anywhere, so as to get out of , sight. Then he will never rest in one ! place for long together, but is continual' ly changing his position, ana appears to be constantly on the watch. His bark, too, is altered, and without provocation he will at times give tongue to a dismal short howl, or to what would perhaps be better described as half a 1 howl and half a bark. He will gnaw at anything that comes in his way. If he ; be in a room, he will bite at the chaii ! legs, or the carpet, or at a tablecloth, ; and if in a kennel he will attack the corners of it. He will also attempt to masticate stones, and will readily consume straw and filth of any kind. Among early symptoms is the disposi' - ' ? - J r._?. uon 10 Dice Oilier UOgS?JU iuuu, * lauiu I animal will unhesitatingly attack a dog or a cat with which he may have lived for years on the most friendly terms. During the whole time that these symptoms are developing themselves the dog will still remain under his master's or mistress's control, and will, to a certain extent, obey orders, although, perhaps, not so cheerfully as usual?a fact which is. Iexpecf, responsible for owners so often scorning the idea that their pet animal is a victim to rabies.?London i Truth. Life in a Snowflake. Some imaginative and wonderfully learned German scholars tell us that every snow flake is inhabited by happy little be ngs, who begin their existence, hold their revels, live long lives of happiness and delight, die and are buried, all during the descent of the snowllake from the world of clouds to the solid land. These scholars also tell ns that every square foot of air possesses from twelve to fifteen million of more or less perfect little beings, and that at every ordinary breath we destroy u million, mnre or less, of these happy lives. The sigh of a healthy lover is supposed to swallow up about fourteen million. They insist that the dust, which will, as all know, accumulate in the most secure and secret places, is merely the remains of millions and billions of these little beings who have died of old a^e. All thi9, of . course, is mere guess-work. But I do know that the snow in some parts of the world is thickly inhabited. I have seen new snow in Idaho black with little inI sects. People there call them snow-fleas. They are as lively as possible, and will ! darken vour footprints, walk as fast as you may. They are found only on the high mountains, and only in very fresh and very deep snow. They, of course, do not annoy you in any way.

I Thus at this early period there were two distinct types of carriage in use among the civil| ized inhabitants of Egypt?a country which from its level character presented facilities for the development of this species of conveyance. The vse of chariots in Egypt and among the early nations generally was reserved for rulers and warlike leaders. It was among the Romans that the use of carriages as a private conveyance was first esj tablishcd, and with that people carriages at tained great variety of form as well as richness j of ornamentation. At all times the employ! ment of carriages depended greatly on the I condition of the roads over which they had to j be driven, and the establishment of good roads, i bucIi as the Appian Way, constructed 331 B. c. j and others, greatly faeiliated the development I of carriage traveling among the Romans. In i Rome itself, and probably also in other large I towns, it was necessary to restrict traveling in ! carriages to a few persons of high rank, owing j to the narrowness and crowded state of the streets.
