UEEP AND SHALLOW MILK-PANS. - The
question, which is the better, deep or shal
low pans for cream to rise In, has from
time immemorial been debated. The rea
tion for this tardy settlement of the question
is, because a large surface of milk seems,
at a glance, a more favorable condition for
the cream to rise than a smaller one. So
satisfied were we of this, at one time, that
we had a number of shallow pans made for
the economy of it; but shortly after we
commenced using them, having more milk
than the shallow pans could hold, the per
son who attended the dairy put the surplus
milk inte deep jars. not having anything
else to put it in. at the time. This person,
who was perfectly reliable, said the cream
rose much better in the deep jars than In
the shallow pans. We replied, "It, no
doubt, seems so" to her: but from a given
quantity of milk, we believe, a larger
quantity of cream would rise in a given
tie in the shallow pans than in the jars.
After several more trials, she satisfied us
that the deep jars were best. Now, 9s we
umst accommodate the philosophy to the
fact, we venture to say that the reason
why a deep pan is better, is that specifle
gravity of water being greater than the
cream globubes, and there being moro
than thirty per cent. of water the globulus
are forced up more rapidly in a given quan
tity of milk in a (ee) pan then they would
be in a shallow one, In other words, if a
gallon of milk is put in a jar six inches in
oliameter, and the saic quantity is put in
a jar twelve inches in diameter, the water
in time former will force the crean to the
surface in much less time than it would in
the latter. Inl connection with this idea,
wo will state that the quicker cream rises,
the better it is for butter; indeed, it has
been recently proved that cream In sonie
way loses, after it has been rising more
than eight hours. Then, as experiments
have proved that creati rises more repidly
in deep than shallow plns, it follows that
they tre best for butter-making.

to me that I have been working under
many disadva it ages until recently. My
wish is for all to know the great advailtage
of a plan which I pursue. Take a new saw
that has never been set place it between
two boards cut to fit the saw, elainp it t ight,
on a bench or vice, take ain iron wedge file
one corner to suit the set of the toothI wliqn
fiiiished, then take a simall hanuner, hold
the wedge with the left. h1ard, strike the
the tooth lightly with the hammer until at
the right place: then turn the wedge on
the opposite side, and onl the next tooth
and set. Im the saimie way; now then you
leach the iiid and mlost hniporioitant, tooth
in the saw ; leave it perfe'eliy straight ; pass
on to the fourth tooth and set as you (i(
the first; turn the wedge, set the lifth the
otier way le,tve the sixth straight, iiid 5o
on till you fhuimh. Now take 0your' file,
dress the two tee-h Ias you do the coimon
saw: the third life perfectly straight and
square, leaving it about onetwentieth part
f ani iieh shorter than the others. on -
tiuilie inl that wiay until you fiinish, an1(d you
will find that it. will cut twice ias fast as ihe

A LAJtob amount of discomfort may be
saved during the summer months by the
employment of oil-stoves for the prepara.
tion of light dishes for the table. The
amount of heat produced by these stoves Is
small, and as the flimo comes in immediate
contact with the vessels in which water Is
boiled or dishes cooked, but little heat Is
diffused in the room. The fire in an oil
stove is kindled and extinguished instantly,
so that a room Is not warmed by the heat
produced before or after It is employed for
cooking or laundry purposes. The use of
ice during the summer saves a large amount
of cooking. With an ice-box or refrigerator,
meat, pastry end many other articles pre
pared for the table may be kept several
days in good condition. No person desires
to eat food or to drink fluids that are of the
sane tempersture as the surrounding air.
To be grateful to the taste they must be
considerable warier or cooler, and It gen
erally matters little in whicti condition they
are. Tea is very insipid when it is at the
same temperature as the air in suminer. but
it is grateful to the taste when heated to a
hundred degrees or cooled by icans of ice.
Al uch labor and discomfort are saved by
the use, of ice in summer In the preserva
tion and preparation of articles of food and
drink. Arbors covered with twining and
flowering vines and fitted pl) with seats
do much to render the premises coinforta
ble during the summer. They can be cim
ployed for setting the table in, or used
wvii the inimates of the house are engaged
in light work or reading. Men also prefer
an arbor to a rooni in tue house when they
are resting at noon or night.

The Bendng of Glase Tubing..
When glass tubes are not too wide they
may be easily bent over a common gas jet.
A burner, made by attaching a lava tip
(such as now as are now commonly used in
illuminating burners) to the stand or base
of the ordinary Blunsen burner, will be
found convenient. The tube Is held hori
zontally In the flame in such a manner as
to be entirely surrounded by the flame, and
so all possible draughts are avoided and the
flame does not flicker. The tube Is soon
covered with cqrbon; then It becomes
glowing, and bends, in consequence of the
weight of its free end, in an even and unt
forir. manner, without making any wrinkles
inside the bend or angle. Wide tubes are
first filled with sand, and then suspended
over a broad flame burner. A broad tube
with flattened end, which exactly fits the
Bunsen burner, may easily be produced.
Thin glass tubes may be bout iu the flame
of a simple spirit-lanip, but it they are at
all thick a Berzelius lamp becomes re
quisite. In this case the tube must be held
across the flabie, for then it would become
heated In two places and remain cold in the
center (. e., between). It is, therefore,
Dest to hold it tangent to the flame. It it
does not bend freely, it is well to assist lu
the operation with the hand, by slightly
pressing the free end in the desired direc.
tion. This opera'lon' requires a certain
amount of skill and dexterity in order to
prevent the formation of wrinkles on the
interior surface of the bend. These wrinkles
not only olfend the eye, but so contract the
Lube that a free curreqt of the gas is pre
vented, and, In case of distillation, etc.,
condensable products are caught in the
cracks, and the experiment is spAled.
No Good Freanhizng.
No man can do a good job of work,
preach a goad sermon, try a law suit well,
dcOtor a patient, or write a good article
when he feals miserable and (lull, with
sluggish brain and unsteady nervej, and
none should make the attempt in such a
condition when it can be easily and cheap
ly removed by a little Hop Bitters. See
another column.
Cast-iron is used, even in wrought.ron
boilers for grate bars, ash pans, furnace
doors. uptake doori, man-hole plates,hand.
hole plaici, valve chatmbers, steam pipe,
reed pipe, blow pipe andi dry pipe. Being
unyielding, it is not well adapted for ap
paratus liable to sudden changes from ex
pansion by changes of temperature. It can
not be patched or mended as wrought-iron
an. This ability to be men'ded is one of
the chief advantages of wrought iron for
boiler work.
