AGRIOULTURB. low TALLOW BUTTER IS MAD. The character and process of the man ufacture of oleoinargarine or tallow butter are simple enough, but are not generally understood on account- of the prejudice which very naturally exists against the article. The oil anti butter are made out of beef fat. The fat is taken from the slaughtered ani mals and conv(yed at once to the fae tory, where it undergoes an overhaul Ing. The fat is then submitted to two distinct processes of melting and relin. Ing. It first passes through a mcthetinc in which an auger shaped shalt re volves, and from this it is delivered mashed to a paste, into huge kettles These kettles stand in boiling water which heats the fat to blood heat anc separates all substainees which are soluble at that temperature. Tle oil Is drawn front the irat kettles Int< barrels, and as it still contains stea. rine, it soon hardens. It is then put through the final process of refinhig Packed in white cloths, miade for th, purpose, it is put in cakes or lr-yerz into pow(rful hydraulic presses, by which the pure oil is presieed out iint receivers and cnV yetd through pipet to an adjoining bullumg, where it 1e delivered, tasteless and free from odor into barrels. The stearine remains il the cloths, and is sold separate!y. A the oil runs from the faucets it is of i bright, clear amber color. This Is the substance which is exported, and some idea may he formed of the exten, o: the foreign demand from the tact tha' three thousand barrels, contaiiing over one mililon pounds of the oil have been shipped within the pa twee on an order from a single house Il Holland. When wade luto the butter the oil Is put into large tanks wilt fresh milk and churned by machinet until It comes out a substaiice similar i appearance to butter. The Dutch Il Holland will not buy the butter a: ninde in this counti y, but buy the oil and make the butter themsches. CLIMBING PLANTS; - Our farmeri could easily have lots of Interesting places al-out their homes, especially near woot 1 ids. A pile of' old stmii can be t overed with ereepiing, twin. ing or climbing plants, and though il brings nothing back to the purse it will often give more pleasure that iloney can buy, to their wives, littc ones, and lr,ends, Alany kinds of elimbing plants have sonme curiom things about them.

BnooK TnOUT.-An inhabitant of a trout region says that brook trout are never so good as when cooked - in the following simUple fashion. When cleaned and wiped dry with a soft cloth and a gentle hand, dip them lightly in flour and lay thorn in a "spider," or frying-pan in which a moderate amount of the most del!ci ous Iresh butter is sizzling. Sprinkle ,delicately with salt, and lot them fry quickly until the flesh looks done and the skin Is crisp brown. Thus served a brot k trout is "a dream of delight." There are three necessary things about this method: The fIsh must be newly arrived from wriggling about in their palace of running water; the pan and the butter must be very hot-the latter sputtering-before the fish are Placed therein ; and the butter must be best of the best and freshest of the fresh-newly churned, if possible. Tn EMsT RICE PUDDINo.-This rice pudding is the best over mado in spite of the fact that it Is the cheapest. The secret of its perflectioR is the long cooking it gets. For a six o'clock din nor the rice and milk should be put on early In the forenoon. The best thing to cook it in is a double kettle. Let it simmer on the back of the stove-it must never boll-until a couple of hours before dinner. It will then be a thick, creamy substance. Then salt and sweeten It to taset, put it into a pudding dish, and bake it in a moder ate oven until it is of a jolly like thick ness and the to) is sligntly browned. It can be eaten either hot or cold. If the latter is preferred, the pudding may be made the day before, if that is most convenient. If desired a liavor may be added. This is emphatically the Perfect pudding of the kind. A DEjLicious Fisu P,1m which will satisly the cravings for flesh of the most fastidious Lenten epicure is pre pared in this manner: Roil two pounds of small well-cleanied eels; t,en having cut the fis quite close, pick off the flesh and throw the bones into the liquor with a little mace, pop Per, salt atid a slice or two of onion ; boll till quite rich and strain it. Make force meat of the leshi of the eels, anchovy, parsley, a grated lomon peel, a truflie, bread crunibs, salt and pep Per and four ounces oi warmed butter. Take the flesh of bass, shad or white 1ish1 and lay Oi the force meat, having rubbed it with salt and pepper. Pour tle gravy over, cover with paste and bake.

A steak an inch and a ialf thick will be cooked in fron seven to ten minutes. Have sone imeted bItter with a good supply of Pepier and salt, and pour over the steak just before it goes to the table.

Walking up to the compounder of prescriptions, he said : "Mister, ain't there some kind of stul that you kin rub on that'll make a follow's skin as tough as an oleph ant's?" The druggist looked the boy over, and replied: "Yes, the oil of tannin will harden the skin, if that's what you mean." "That's the trick Fm playin' fur exactly.

On'y well bred stock of any kad have a good capacity for asslini latlirg their food. When a'given quan tity of feed may w'th con fidnene be re. lied upon to make ten pounds of beef, pork, etc., when fed to well bred stock it is a fact of 9li experience that when fed to poorly bred anima's it will fall a large per cent. short of that number of pounds. The difference, as a'ready stated, lies in the widly different capa c'ty to assimilate and digest. So it is seen that the loss of breeding lie at the bottom of the matter Farmers and stock men, when considering the mat ter of strok on the farm, should con sider whether it is their Interest to be content with that class of low bred stock which certainly results in farm waste: especially so when with a good animal they can soon bring up their stock to high grades. A good one at the head of the herd may cost a hun dred or two dollars, but not halt so much as the usual annual waste of food and time. COTTON SEND 01L.-Tne maniifaot ure of oil from the cotton seed Is be coming of importance in bhe United States. The annual quantity of seed converted into oil now amounts to about four hundred and ten thousand tons, the yield being at the rate of somei thirty-five gallons of oil to the ton of seed. Moreoyer, each ton leaves seven hundred and fifty pounds of oil cake of admilrable fittening qualities. A great deal of the oil is eKported to Italy and other countries where the ol lve is a staple; and in point of fact,cot ton seed oil is there superseding olive oil, not only for utilitarian purpose, but also as an article of food. .llEL'ING 'rHE .Ilosics.-The other day says a newspaper correspondent, I saw a itorse fall, 11nd try twelve times to rise, and nobody know how it could be done, till a womai walked out from the sidewalk withouit a word, and put ting her hand in the sleigh drew out one o the blankets there anu threw it inder the aninial's feet; lie felt some thing lie could stand on, and by that one fore foor lie brougnat his whole bocy up and looked around glad and treiltlling.

Cenpite5thtcofr hEDDIpt hiZ~l1l In 1869 Herr von Bezold, Interred from observations in Bavar ia that there was an increase 'rom year to year In the nnmber of builaings struck by lightning. There seemed to be also an increase IA tho. number ot. thunder storms, and this was assigned as the cause. A little later, ebservations (by others) in Saxony and Schleswig-Hol stein also showed an increase In the number of houses 'struck, but no com parison was made with the number of thunder storms. Herr Holtz has late ly made 'a fuller inquiry on the basis of data from all parts of Germany, and from Austria and Switzerlarnd. In his brochure on the subject he publishes two tables, one to show the increase or de crease of thunder storms since 1854, since 1862 and sincs 1870 in the differ ent regions, the other the increase or decrease of lightning risk estimated from comparison of the number of lightning strokes on houses with the entire number of houses. It appears, then, that while any increase in the number of thunder storpas is extreme ly small, and there is in some cases even a decrease, the lightning risk showe a very large increase, and in no case a decrease. Thus the increase of risk from lightning must be regarded as not due, unless in very slight meal ;use,to mw teorological influences. This appears more distinctly in that the in crease of lightning risk is proportion ately greater as the compared years are further apart; but It is not so with the increaqe of thunder storms (which, e. g.,'is less since 1854 than 1866). To explain the Increased risk by telluric changes, Herr Holtz supposes the clearance of lorest land has to do with it; perhaps, also, the increase of rail. ways, both of these bringing thunder storms more to towns and villages, Another probable cause Is the in creased use of metal in house construc tion. Guilty or Wrong. Some people have a fashion of don fusing excellent remedies with the large mats of "patent medicines," and in this tnils they are guilty of a wrong.

In a report on an investigation to de termine the urevalence of adulteration in food supplies, Dr. Smart observi P, among other things, that the examina tion of ground black peppers and spices shows to what extent adulteration may be practiced when the detection by the public Is a matter of difliculty. The dealer himself appears to have lost all knowledge of the oharacter of the pure. artile, as out of four samples sent in by respectable New York houses for the purpose of being examined, oly one was pure. Tihe others contained baked flour and rice with aand enough to prove the unclean condition of the pepper itself. Out of eighteen samples of ground cayenne pepper, oni V two were purc. Out of twenty-three speci mens of commercial ground mustard, twenty-one.were adulterated; Out of 6hirty-six samples of ground cinamon, only one was the genuine article.T he usual adulterants are colored clays, roasted wheat, beans, rice, saw-dust, et.c, but fortunately no red boti.

If we are willing to accept the opin lons which sani tart:ins'of other i: a-lons have formed, says the JMedical and Sur gical IReporter, we have a& very decided one ready to our band in Switzerland. That republice enacted a law last year prohibiting the sale of tobacco t . minors under fifteen years of' age, and making is an cffence against the law for them to smoke. Hence a boy of' twelve or fourteen, who parades the stree ts of__G.M&rjfsju'ge~,,tygar 4!..'-lmdouth is liable to be arrested and committed to the police station ;. and as they have a disagreeable habit in that republic of enforcing the laws they enact, such would be pretty cer tain to lbe the juvenile smoker's fate We would recjinmeid to our fellow countrymen their manner of dealing wvith the habit, which, whether harm less or not to mo.st adults, is unques tionably of great injury to young boys. 1T is impossib e for a woman to suff'er from weakness after taking Lydis .E.
