AORIOULTURJ. HEATING MILK FOR WINTER 83ETTINo. --Heating the milk from small dairies in whiter is very necessary where tze temperature of the milk room is much below sixty degrees, for thin bed'os of milk will raise very little cream wih the temperature atfifty degre i or bc low. Heating the milk to 130 or 140 degrees will cause nearly all the cream to rise while the temperature is falling to fifty degrees. Croamu rises faster while the temperature of the milk is falling. It heated milk Is set six or ten inches deep, In a room at a tempe. rature of forty-ive to fifty degrees, it will take several hours for the tempe rature of the milk to fall ninety de grees, and the cream Will principally rise during this time. -But heating milk in wzuter serves other important. purposes. Heating Is a purifying pro eess. It drives off all bad odors or taints It may have taken from the con. dition of the fodder or odors of the stable. All dairymen are not aware of the danger of tainting the milkn win ter, from the cows standing in an in. pure atmokpliere, or of eating mouldy fodder, or drinking water from a wel that hos received the droppings of the barnyard. Ileating purifies the milk from all these taints or from a turnip or cabbage flavor. It must be set. however, after heating, in a pure att mosphere. It Is found, also, that the oream from heated milk churns much easier in winter. The cream should be churned within twenty-four to thirty-six hours before skimming. Milk is apt to become bitter by long standing in winter. It is supposed that our correspondent keeps lils cellar clear of vegetables, as these would So charge the air with vegetable odors as to taint the cream and spoll the butter. AFrER TRHE BUTTER Coms.-At the churn comes in our most radical need of reform. How to free our butter from the buttermilk and in doing so keel) from working the butter into a grain less, waxy mass? For myself, I am a strict advocate of the brine system of gathering and working the butter. As soon as the cream begins to break add at gallon of Strong brine, thle colder it is the better, lowly work the dasber until the butter has assumed the ap pearance of i bd-Shot, then draw off the buttormilk; cold water should now be tke the butter n tte dash or occaseonlly worked, but not noughl to gather te btter.

Draw thist off and take the butter out Into t re butter worker, roll it. very gentiy andI only% enough to force thle remlalinbig wate'r out.

THE TAPonTANoE OF YEGETAnLIS. The vegetable-oater can extract from ifs food all the principles neos ary for the growth and support of the body,as well as for the proiduotion of heat and lorce, provided that he selects veg etables which contain all the essential e'ements named. But he must for this purpose consume the best cereals wheat or cats; or the legumes-beans, peas, or lentils; or he must swallo v and digest a large weight of vegetable nmaftatr of - less nutritious value, and, thee'ore, at least containing one ele ment in large excess in order to obtain all the elements he needs. Thus the Irishman requires for his support ten or eleven pounds of potatoes daily, whioh cont tin ohifly starch, of which he bo2sumes a superfluous qu intity, very little nitrogen and scarcely any fat; hence he obtains when lie can soein buttermilk or bacen, or a her ring, to supply the deficiency. The Highlander, living mainly on oatmeal, requires a much smaller weight; this grain contains not only the starch but much nitrogen, and a fair amount of fat, although not quite suflicient for this purpose, which is usually sup plied by adding milk or a little bacon to his diet. On the other hand, the man lives bleLly or largely on flesh and eggs as well as broad obtaius pro elsely the same principles, but served in a concentrated form, and a welxrht of sbout'two or three pounds of such food is a full equivalent to the Irish man's ten or eleven pounds of potatoes and extras. HARD SoAP.-Put in a tub without paint. three pounds of unslacked ime and seven pounds of washing soda; pour on theso four gallons of boiling rain-water; stir well and letstand over night; in the morning dip off the wa ter as clo'e as pessible, wi thout taking up the sediment; put it in a brass kettle, and add seven pounds of clean rendered grease; let this boll until thick, bo that it will not drop from a stick, but string off in fine threads; now add, If you wish it, one ounce oil or cinnamon or sassafras, or any de "irable oil for perfume; turn it out into deep earthen dishes, wet with to d water to prevent sticking; next morning turn out of dish, and let it stnd rour weeks to dry; lay in on several thicknesses of newspaper, in a dry plaice and turn occasionally; then out it Into desired pieces. Upon the emains in the tub, pour a full pail of water, stir tip well, tinI let settle ag-fln; when clear dip off closely as before, a' put into bottles or Jugs for waihling Iluld. M IUNDIN A CARPUT.-My dlining room carput was only a rag carpet to begin with; latterly it had become a r iwged one. I was coilteinpllIting it ruefully one day, knowing the state of my iorse would not allow ine to re placel it julst yet with a new one. I could think of no way to mend it, but )y big patches tacked in place. In the itildst ofi mny dilemminia an experienced old lady entered, who suggested paste instead of tacks. "I have repeatedly put muslin patches over the carpet with paste," said -lie, '"and it is sur prising how well It holds." I took the hinit. Patches aire not, In their nature beautiful, yet a patched garment is de cidedly better-looking than a ragged one1, anid the saIe li trute of a parched carpet. and ir.y patches were so edsily appiluid and proved so adhesive, that I rirely sweep the room without a mental benaeuletion upon the one who sug gested It. lDzsu WzraNo.-1I recently saw a new way of wiping dIshes that saves half the risk, wile the dishes look nicer and brighter.
