FIELD, GAIUIO AM) 1101 sEIILOD.
KuTal Packard, of North Bro< ktield.
Mass., a man over seventy year* of age, is
on hi* way to Australia to teach the A us
traliuns the art of making cheese in facto
ries, as practiced in New England.
T*a Stains on Table Linin.— Japan
t«aa staiu table cloths more indelibly than
other black teas, and t.»r a long time it
seemed impossible to tare the stains out,
but I find r* weak solution of chloride «»f
lime will remove them. Toe solution must
rot be strong, and must be carefully strain
ed; the cloth mu 4 remain in the lime
w iter but a short time, arid then must be
thoroughly rir>s and. Tho » r parariou sol i
as Javeile water would answer the tame
purpose.
How to Keep Buttkr Sweet.—lt is the
easiest thing in the world. Simply put in
clean jars, and cover with brine. This will
keep pure butter a year, fresh and sweet,
as we kuow by experience. Ir is almost
equally good put in oak ea-ks he »ded tight
This is equivalent to canning Iru t. The
brine, in case of j irs, acts us a beading,
keeping the air out. Bur flutter shoo dbe
made well; we have never experimented
on poor butter. VV >rk out the buttermilk
till you have only pure “beads,” clear ns
rainwater ; but do not work s > much as to
br* ak the grain, in which case, you have a
tough, heavy article in winter, and grease
in summer. Such butter we advise no one
to try to preserve.
An ir Mii.kino —Five per cent., and
perhaps ten, euu be added to the amount of
milk obtained from the cows of this coun
try, if the following rules are inexorab'y
followed :
Ist. Never hurry cows in driving to and
from the pasture.
2d. Milk as near at. equal intervals as
possible—half-past five in the morning and
six at night are good hours.
2d. Be especially tender of the cow at
milking time.
4th. When seated, draw the mi’k as
rapidly as possible; be certain to always
got it all.
sth. Never talk or think of anything
besides what you are doing while milking.
Gth. Offer some caress, and always a
soothing word, when you approach a cow
and when you leave her. The better she
loves you the more free and c implete will
be her abandon as you sit at her side.
MY EXPERIENCE.
Communicated.]
Mk Editor: Since almost everything
depends on the success of the farmers, I
will briefly give you a little ol mv experi
ence in the year 1860. 1 employed a suffi
cient number of hands to have cultivated
my little farm well ; 1 agreeing to furnish
land, stock, feed the stock furnish seed of
every kiud used, and pay (he blacksmith
bill, arul give ball of the proceeds of the
crops to the hands—which was, as I
thought, aplenty to influence them to work,
but it did not prove to he enough, I guess.
for they did’nt work much, as the result
will show. When I made the contract they
all reported rations enough on hand for the
year, but the year lasted by far longer than
the rations, for I had to advance rations to
nome .of them in January and the rest in
March, which worried rue no little, as I did
rot have rations nor money, hut unfortun
ately I had a little credit - by giving rnort
gages on crops, stock <fco., but could not get
enough, so I made other arrangements;
in the meanwhile one of my mules died
ol poverty, and as everything was then
depending on the crop I commenced travel
ing around to got another one, arid finally
succeeded. At last chopping time came,
and in order that the crop of cotton should
show as good as possible to passers by,
coffee weeds were as nicely hoed as cotton
stalks - the ide.a seemed to he, to have a
stand on the ground, which we once had
but general greene made an attack on the
field, and when he was forced to leave, the
most of the cotton weeds were missing,
hence the necessity of using the coffee
weeds.
I will pass over the rest of the cultiva
tion and come to the gathering time, i had
four plows regularly and a filth when in a
burry, had seventy five acres in corn and
eighty in cotton ; but long before gathering
dav 1 knew I was gone, you bet 1 did. I
hud one field of corn, twenty acres, which
ought to have made a good crop, and doubt
less would, but accidently, or somehow else,
each shoot missed the stalk, so I did not
succeed in finding any corn in that field,
concluded to save sta ks as that was all
there to save. Ilad it hauled home, gath
ered corn i ff* of the rest of the land, went
after it in a two-horse wagon, came back
in a trot, the nubbins bouncing up at least
a foot, as the wagon wheels run over the
roots or washed places in the road. Stiuck
ed it out, measured and divided it I
received one-and-a-half bushels hr m\
part, but it was blasted corn- and l was
afraid to use it abundantly as I would have
done if it had been better, and a greater
bulk of ;t. My boss tried to cheer me up
on the cotton prospects, but we looked at
that part of the crop from a different stand •
p ant. While the cotton was growing I put
them to mowing hay, thought may-l>e that
I could use grass as a substitute, but the
substitute proved a failure. I sowed a
large patch of turnips to fatten my bacon,
but oh, lordy ! how fat they did’nt “git.”
when I come to kill my hogs, hav ng fed
them almost entirely on turnips arid tops —
they puffed out mightiy before killing, but
when I looked inside that was no fat there.
1 hope never to kill any more such In gs; the
leaf fat stuck to the pot in trying to make
it into lard, and when the hogs were being
cut up and the ribs taken out of the sides,
daughter mistook the sides for leather and
wanted me to have her some shoes made
out of it! Oh !it made me sick -the idea
of killing such hogs. My experience in
turnips for hogs, is that corn, good sound
corn, beats it, if they do get the salad
thrown in. After almost everybody else
had gathered, sold or delivered their cotton
mine was finally ready—so the wagon was
got in order and the hands with me to help
get the heavy bales (four in number) on.
and off’ to Barnesville I started. On the way
off tumbles one of the bags, so two of us
had to put it up again ; when at home it
took hard w» rk for five to do that same
thing. I saw stars, for my boss played <ff
on me as I afterwards found out, for before
getting to town I run my arm up to my
elbow in one of the heavy bales. 1 did not
like the sign much, but could not help it
then, throwed them on the scales and as
certained the weights to be about 385
pounds apiece, making in all three bales
to eighty acres of good land. I sold it, and
carried weights to my merchant, who, by
ti e by, had ballanced my account, and I
fell short, and the freedmen of cuurse com
plained, and threatened me with the “buro
man” but finally concluded to let it pass;
so I am vet passing and expect in luture to
let freedmen pass too, when it comes to
chopping, for they always crap too short.
Yours, Mb.

~ PATFNT METALLIC
WHITE WIRE CLOTHES LINES.
WE beg leave to call your attention tn an entirely new article known as “Patent
Metallic White Wire,” p ssessing qualities which prevent it from eve- c rrodtng
or turning from its color during any oumfter <>< years, and on which letters Patent have
been secured. It has been found to be the only article suitable for a Clothes Lne. Tit
old fashion rope or chord always causes so much tr üble and annoyance by breaking
rotting out, and discoloring clothes, and by being obliged to !>• put up and taken dowi
every time used. With this
WIRE CLOTHES LINE,
You have none ot these annov.mces, and when it is once put up it gives you no more
trouble. After using it we are confident vou will fullv corroborate the element of
•th< usandiof others in its praise. Every family should and will eventually have •.ne.
It will not rust nor corrode, though you ma\ keep it in water tor any lengih of time,
even salt water.
SIX REASONS WHY EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE ONE OF TIIESS PATEVI
EVERLASTING WHITE WIRE CLOTHES LINES:
Ist. You never have to take it out of the weather.
2d. It will last fifty years or more.
3d. Ir is the cheapest Clothes Lines in the world.
4,h Y< u cannot load it. heavy enough with clothes to brake it
sth. It does not in any wav discolor, wear or injure clothes tint are hung upon it.
Gtli It will save its nriee in saving clothes every six m >nths you own it.
