AGIUCIILTURIL "TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO PAR 31 AND GARDEN. Seven Points in Managing Milk. 1. To make the finest-flavored a:id longest', keeping butter the cream must undergo a ripening process by exposure to the oxygen of the air while it is rising. The ripen,ngis very tardy when the temperature is low. 2. After the cream becomes sour, the more ripening the more it depreciates. The sooner it is then skimmed and churned the better,, but 'it should hot be churned while too new. The best time jor skimming and ehurningis just before Acidity becomes apparent". 2. Cream makes better butter to rise in cold air than to rise in cold water, but it will rise sooner in cold water, and the milk will keep sweet longer. 4. The deeper the milk is set the less airing the cream gets -while rising. 5. The depth of setting should vary with the temperature; the lower it is the deeper milk may be set; the higher, the shallower it should be. A C. While milk is standing for cream to rise, the purity of the cream, and conse quently the fine flavor and keeping of tne butter, will be injured if the suriace of the cream is exposed freely to air much warmer than the cream. 7. When cream is colder than the sur rounding air, it takes up moisture aud impir ities from the air. -When. the air is coiaer man tne cream, it takes up moisture and whatever escapes from the cream. In the former case the cream puri.ies the surrounding air; in the latter case the air helps to purify the cream The selection of a creamer should hinge on what is most desired highest quality . or greatest convenience ana economy in time, space arid labor.

' A man lately cured thoroughly a balky horse by s.mply hitching liim in the field and letting him stay where the load was till he got hungry enough to pull it home.' The horse held out thirty-six hours. " ! ,' The bee does not deface your fields by Clipping the growing grasses, like the domest c animals; it does not mar the garden plants or levy taxes on your grain, i Bees differ from the whole in Bect world. No tree, shrub, plant or flower is injured by their presence. Green smartweed rubbed briskly on neck, sides, and other exposed parts of cows or horses will keep flies from at tacking them. To be effectual the rub bing should be. given twice a day, but it will repay this trouble. Smartweed can be found on most farms, and is valuable enough for this purpose to claim the room it occupies. J. N. Peed, of Jasper, Mo., had 120 acres of corn adjoining a wheat field which had been devasted by chinch bugs. He plowed a trench around the cornfield, and for fourteen days hauled a log through the trench, aod thus saved .lie corn. The bug thronged into the trench by millions, but they never got nut. The log did the business. Keeping "down the weeds will not be the only gaiuto come from thorough aoeing. By having a layer o : finely'pul eerized soil at the surface, evaporation of moisture will be prevented during the iay, while absorption will so on through ihe night. After every heavy rain, the soil of the garden should be gone over with hoe or rake 'to prevent crusting. The Scientific American is right when it says: "Nothing will purify and keep stable so free from odors as the free ise of dry earth, and every one keeping tiorses or caltle will find that it pays to teep it on hand, to be used daily. A few shovelfuls of earth scattered over ;he floor after cleaning will render the rir of the apartment ture and whole- It i9 the greediest cows, and these are always the best, which are most apt to cuoKe wun iaiien iruit. iven iney are not liable to injury if not fed when ravenously hungry and given plenty of time. It is mainly the haste With which fruit surreptitiously obtained is swal lowed that induces danger. If a cow is choking distend her mouth with some solid substance, and then with the hand remove the obstruction. The rakings of wheat, oats and rve are not often worth threshing, at least to mix with the good grain. As good a plan as any is to put these by themselves and feed i in the straw to fowls. Feed it in a clean place, and scratching among the ing grain will keep the (fowls healthy. In whole gram hens gorge themselves? by eating too rapidly. This may be a good way to fatten them, but is not the best for egg production. Small Unripe potatoes arid potato par ings are often a nuisance to the house wife. They are often given to the cows, but are poor feed for milk. In fact, a raw potato, and especially if unripe, is poor food for anything. If cooked they make very fair summer food forpi2S.and with the addition of a little meal will fatten thejtn rapidly. The potato parings are much better than the small potatoes. There is more of the nutriment of the potato in and near the skin than in the centre. -, . It is impossible to give cucumber vines too much water, provided it is warmed and given1 at evening, so that-it will soak into the soil during the night. Early next morning cover the surface as far as wet with dry earth to retain evaporation. The greatest point in keeping cucumber vines productive is to keep the fruit picked very closely, One over-grown cucumber will exhaust the vine more than a dozen pickle. Cut the fruit off rather than pull it off. This prevents breaking the fruit around the stem, which will inevitably cause rot. ' It is desirablein keeping pigs in' or chards to have them in as many lots as This is especially true . when litters of pigs constitute the stocje. Movable pig peas, made so as to betaken apart and put "together again, riot only accomplish this object, but en able the owner to thoroughly fertilize different parts. After the pigs have been kept under one tree a week or so,remove them and their pen to another. In this way the thrift of both trees and pigs is made certain. Only the -'sows need be confined. The small pigs may be given free range to pick up 1 alien fruit until they gradual! wean themselves. In hot weatfier the droppings of ani mals confined, in stables ferment very quickly, and therefore , absorbents are necessary, not only to save waste of fertilizers, but for the comfort and health of animals. Something is wanted, not merely to (hold liquid excrement from waste, but to absorb its odors. Straw makes good bedding, bat it is next to worthless for this purpose. Dry earth is the bet absorbent, and it may ba got anywhere on much-traveled roads, and in the country from fields. When re turned to the field, as it should be, the dry earth will be found an excellent fer tilizer. A very thin covering of earth is enough, and the manure may be scraped in heaps so as to leave a smaller surface to cover, j Coal a dies will answer the same purpose, but are not so good a9 dry earth. - I possible, sows with f NOLAJIY Iv Rilly BEAU TIFUL without d CLEAR, WHITE COMPLEXION.- for BraHtifjIag traplai- an Htaliaf ta Stta, To a Urge extent conceals vhe evidence of age.
