AGWOULTURE, MicizaO QuALIrTss.-A copious flow 01 milk, sustained through many montis, is a quality which'has been produced by art li domestication. W Ild cattle rarely providt more than enough milk to rear their owi Salves, and the flow of it Is of compara, tively short duration, Smuall in volume, the miUk is rich In quality; but the lacteal organs soon dry off again. Thisof course, Is in harmony with the requirements of the young animals in a wild state, and is a correlation o the roving life and the hap. haard feeding of the damp. More milk than the calf re4uires under such condi tious would be a waste of material energy which nature does not encourage. It would moreover, be an eccumbrance to the mother. Wild cattle are neither good milkers, nor good fatteners, and in parts of England where calves are allowed to run with their domesticated dams generation alter generation, the breed of such animals are not famous for milk-giving. Like that of the mare and ewe, the milk is smaller in quantity, rich in quality, and of short duration. The desultory and irregular sucking of the calf or foal or lamb is not conducive to the development of a large flow of milk, and it. distinctly tends to shorten the flow. Haxid-nilking of a sini ilar character has thu same effect, Young Ieople are allowed to learn to how to milk on cows which are going dry for calving, not on those which are still in full flow. New beginners soon dry up a cow's milk, and bad milkers do the same. Heavy milking properties, then, are ar tieiial, in the sense that they have been developed under domestication, and, by careful breeding, for a given end; yet, like many other qualities, which are little more than mere geims in nature, they become heredity by long usage. Few Sorts of ani maIS, if any, are more susceptible than cattle of being moulded into what we want, no physical quality is so easily train ed and developed as that of giving milk. it is a funocions, which, constantly varying of itself, can be dwarfed or extendw at 'will. .By ieans of Intelligent training, Kint treatment, aud intelhgent breeding,it can be developed and made hereditary; ant opposite system keeps it in a state or na. ture. The natuire a cow and tile food tAie receives have a gieat deal to do witb herl milking powers; quick and silent hand milking cows has all along tendered great ly to the development of the lIateal glands and this development has biecomno horet.i tury in our best milking breeds. The owei of time Larzae breed of seep, from whose uilk the famous Roquefort, cheese is mate in France, have been hand-niliked tor gen. ciations, so that their uniking propsrt iea are now considerable and inherited. By repeatedly exciting the teats it is even pos aible to cause an animal that has nevel borne offspring to y l i a small quanity of miilk, and a cow sometiies Iemaimi baIrren everal years titter having had a cali, giving a prI. itable quatit i y 01 millk all the while. -w 1s rr WITH Youu lstr-rrx. -To fae, tidious persons butter can be spoiled befort the milk leaves the stable; it can be spoil ed by the hithy or unhealthy condition of a coy-, by a careless milker, by dirty puthl or pans, and in nunberless wayr. To avoid all this every process should lie under the Ianagemient of one intelligent and cleanly person. To begiti at the beginning, all of the cows should be good, healthy animals and rich milkers.

How To HANO HAMs.--A wagon loa. dod with hams drove up to a curb near where a couple of gentlemien were standing, when one of them asked the other why It was that nearly every one hung the r hams by the hook or shank? The reply was "I suppose it is more convenient." The first speaker stated that it was probably the case, but that it was not the correct thing to do. The string should be put through the oppo site end and the ham hung the small end down. When done in this manner, families and others would find that they would rarely, if ever, have a spoiled ham. The reason given was that the socket in which the hip joint worked would collect the juices of the meat above it, and having no chance to filter through the flesh and evaporate, it would remain in the cup or socket, and then putrify. He stated alSo that he always hung his own in that manner and never had any difficulty with his meat. It was always as sweet aboit this bone as any other part of the ham, if not more so FACrs ABOUT Frou.-Flour is pecu liarly sensitive to the atmospherc inflii enoces, houcoe it should never be stored in a room with sour liquids, nor whore onions or fish are kept, nor any article that taints the air of the room in which it is stored. Any smell perceptible to the sense will be absorbed by the flour. Avoid damp cellars or lofts where a free circulation of air cannot be obtained. Keep in a cool, dry, airy room, and not exposed to a freezing temperature nor to intense summer or to artificial heat for any length of time above 70o to 75v Fahrenheit. It should not come in contact with grain or other substances which are liable to heat. Flour should be sifted and the particles thoroughly disintegrated and then warmed beforo baking. This treatment improves the color and baking properties of the dough.

Cold chicken or the white meat from a cold turky out into small pieces may be treated in this way.
