EXrOStNG CREAM TO TUF. AIR.
Tho into Prof. Arnold is credited
with having made tho following re¬
marks: “1 havo mot with plenty of
fine and even fancy butter made by
different ntodos of deep and cold set¬
ting; but the most exquisite flavor lias
come from the exposure of tho cream
to tho pure air at about 60 degrees for
thirty or forty hours on inilk spread
two nnd a half to tlirco inches deep.
By such an exposure the buttor fats
acquire a now and delicious flavor
which does not exist in tiie milk when
it comes from tiie cow, and which I
have not found developed iu any other
way.”
EFFKOTS OF FERTILIZERS ON TOMATOES 1 .
The effects of fertilizers upon the
composition of tomato fruits a« indi¬
cated by results gained at tho -Mary¬
land station are as follows; 1. Tha 1
po ash lias tho effect of producing a
fruit with moro drv substance, accom¬
panied by a slielit decrease in the sugar
and an increase in tho acid. This,
when considered in connection with
increase of yield, is favorable (o the
use of potash. 2. That nitrates and
phosphoric acid havo a tendency to
produce a fruit with more than the
average proportion of water, but with
more sugar nnd less acid than those
grown with potash. 3. The sweetest
tomatoes were produced on the plots
receiving phosphoric acid.
RAISING LOCUST TREES.
A Pennsylvania farmer says that the.
best way to raise locust trees from
the seed is to sow them in tiie Fall and
leave them to grow when they will.
Tho locust is a quick grower, and
when loft to grow naturally the seeds
germinate with a good deal of certainty.
This is readily seen wherever a locust
tree with ripened seeds Inis fallen and
been left on the ground. In a few
years there will bo a circular thicket
of young locusts that have sprung up
from the seed. If the seeds are sown
in tho Spring boiling water should bo
poured upon them, leaving them to
soak a few hours until they sweli. I,
however, prefer sowing them in the
Fall and leaving them to the natural
action of frost.
PLANTING CUT POTATOES.
It will pay to give some care to
dropping cut potatoes. The more firm¬
ly the bud is pressed into the soil the
better it will grow. It is often a
fancy of potato droppers to leave tiie
uncut side up, so they can se« tho eye
or bud before it is covered. No mat¬
ter how firmly they press the soil over
tiie cut piece it cannot make as good
place for the roots to grow as if the
eye were pressed in the soil with the
cut piece over it. Of course the bud
as it grows passes around under the
set, but this delay only makes it moro
vigorous when it cotnos up. Caro
must be taken iu stepping oil these
cut pieces with tho cut side up not to
have them stick to the bool sole as they
will when ficshlv cut. It is better al¬
ways to cut tiie sets two or three days,
or even longer, before planting, but
they must bo spread th'.uly to dry as
in a heap they will quickly heat and
spoil.— [American Cultivator.
HIPE VS. GREEN.
Among those who have most suc¬
cessfully investigated tiie changes that
work the ripening of cream and the
development of flavor and aroma in
butter, it is comi g to be pretty well
agreed that thc-o processes arc the
work of certain organisms called bac¬
teria. It is held by some of these in¬
vestigators that each distinct flavor de¬
veloped in ntilk, butter ami cheese,
from ripening to decay, is the product
of distinct species of bacteria. In the
light of tlieso investigations, the pro¬
cess of cream-ripening is quite similar
to, if not identical with, that of
ripening fruit.
Perfectly ripe cream, therefore, says
the Jersey Bulletin, is just in tho con¬
dition of a perfectly ripe peach. It is
then at its best as a butter material.
From this point of view, unripened
cream is in the green state like the
green peach, and butter made from it
is iusinid aud lucking in flavor. It is
to be bovne iu mind that ripe cream is
no more rotten cream than a ripe peach
is a rotten peach. Nor is fresh butter
made from ripe cream, sour butter or
rotten butter, any moro than fresh
butter made of fresh milk is.—[Farm,
Field and Stockman.
MILL FEED FOR PIGS.
For growing pigs, and especially as
long as they can have the use of a
good pasture, mill feed, ship stuff and
bran, says a Missouri farmer, will not
only be tiie cheapest but the best ma¬
terials that can be used. They should,
however, be made into a slop and
stand about twelve hours before feed¬
ing. If mixed up with sweet skim-
milk it will be all the better and should
not be allowed to stand until it sours,
as sour or fermented food of any kind
is unhealthy. When graiu of any
kind is fed it will be better to food
the slop first. During summer and
fall, while there is a good supply of
grass and clover, pigs can be kept
healthy and in good thrifty condition
better than with grain, and especially
corn. ■■■■:-
Jiill feed can also be used to good
advantage in fattening hogs in nie
fall, when, if given all they can eat,
much less corn will be required. The
mint, of outlive, be considered »»
with grain, as in order to
the largest profit materials
bo used tlmt will give the most
at the least cost. < ttunouly mill
feed can be purchased ut very reason¬
prices during the summer and
fall, mid it will often be a good
to purchase a full supply, ns with
pigs and the breeding stock it
always be used to advantage.

Of course success depends
on tho charncicr of the win¬
but of this wc are not permitted
lo know in advance. Provided tlioro
no serious obsineles in the way,
planting, both iu fall and spring,
preferable.
If moved early in autumn, the roots
a rule will begin immediately to
new fibres, and by the time severe
freezing weather arrives the tree will
have secured firm hold of its new sur¬
Not so with one moved
late in the season; the low temperature
tiie soil not being conducive to root-
formation, the tree may be unable to
live over winter.
In (lie case of spring planting root
formation is also more stiro when an
early date is selected. The moist soil
and cool atmosphere at this period in¬
fluence growth of fibres and make tho
tree secure before the iiiienso heat and
consequent rapid evaporation can in¬
it.
Late in spring, for most trees, is do-
cidcdly objectionable, as then, in addi¬
tion to a high temperature, droughts
of several weeks’ duration are not un¬
common, and their deleterious effect is
well known to all planters. Planting
may, however, be done at any time
when the frost will permit, butgreater
care should be observed during cola
weather. The roots must not be per¬
mitted to freeze when out of tho
ground, as it is almost sure death.
FA 1 {M AND GAKDEN NOTES.
Drains have value in farming as
well as industry.
Keep well informed as to the mar¬
ket value of produce.
Take oil'the check and iet tho horse
have his head, if you want him to do
his host.
High farming, in its true sense, is
the kind of farming that pays, or the
application of all the labor and capital
to a given acreage that is profitable.
Chrysanthemums, in not over rich
ground, should be supplied with a lit¬
tle, not too strong, liquid manure. It
enriches the foliage aud tends to tiie
formation of fine flowers.
The Famous Taylor Madstone.
Tim famous Taylor madstone, which
for almost fif.y years has been iu tho
possession of Mrs. Mary J. Taylor of
Terre Haute, Ind., has passed to an¬
other generation. Tho stone lias been
applied to many hundreds of persons
who were stiticring from tiie bites of
rabid animals, and has relieved the
minds of many anxious persons. It
lias been in Mrs. Taylor's family for
many generations, and i9 now in the
care of Mrs. William Pelper, a mar¬
ried daughter of Mrs. Taylor. The
latter, who is now visiting iter son in
Ciiicago, was so affected by handling
the stone that her health was impaired
and she was forced to turn over the
stone to her daughter. For tiie past
few years a record of the patients
trented has been kept, and in all the
number not one failure to effect a cure
has been reported. I’aticuts have
come from all parts of tiie country to
test the merits of the bit of curious
stone.
The etoiio is about two inches in cir-
ctimferenee and a quarter of an inch
thick. It is porous and when viewed
through a strong glass tho formation
lias tiie appearance of pe'.rifled vo^eta-
tion. The Evening Post correspond-
ent witnessed an application of tlio
stone. Tiie subject was a little girl
brought from Edgar County, Illinois,
Tiie skin was scraped by a knife until
the blood came and tho stone was then
bound on the spot. If there is a par¬
ticle of poison in the system the stone
adheres until tiie venom becomes ab-
sorbed, when the stone is removed
and soaked in sweet milk until clean,
when it is again applied. Titis is con¬
tinued until tiie stono refu cs to ad¬

Under Water Forty Years.
Some Hungarian prisoners of war
were thrown in 1849 into a deep pool
near Hermannstudt, from which the
bodies, after an immersion of forty-
one years were lately brought up.
Their physiological condition has been
made the subject of a careful investi¬
gation by Dr. Konig. The bodies
were perfectly preserved, and their
organs remained unchanged in shape
and mostly unaltered in color aud con¬
sistence. The most remarkable feat¬
ure was the presence of crystals of
common talt, clearly showing tint, iu
the water, panicles held iu solt^iou
may pass through tho skin and muscles
and find their way into the most deep¬
ly-seated organ®. This is considered
confirmatory proof that mineral baths
exert in this way their specific action
on the internal economy of bather*.

A Story of Josh Billings.
A fotv years ago, riding up town in
a Madison avenue car, I was sealed
opposite the gentleman who is best re-
membered as Josh Hillings. The rear
platform was somewhat crowded, and
in tho course of our ride one of the
passengers stopped oil and on several
times, in order to assist the lady pas¬
sengers. Finally, when the car was
just comfortably filled, and the courte-
ous gentleman it ul taken his seat in-
side, Josh Billings, seeing an opportu¬
nity for a joke, beckoned to the con -
doctor, and pointing to the stranger,
said,
"Don’t you charge for every ride
on this car?”
‘‘Yes, sir,” answered he. .
•‘Well, I’ve seen that fellow get on
this car six times, and you have col¬
lected only one fare from him.”—

“ Well! Welll"
That’s the way you feel after one or
two of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets
have done their work. You feel
well, instead of bilious and consti¬
pated ; your sick headache, dizzi¬
ness and indigestion are gone. It’s
done mildly and easily, too. You
don’t have to feel worse before you
feel better. That is tho trouble
with tho huge, old-fashioned pill.
These aro email, sugar-coated, eas-
iest to take. One little Pellet’s a
laxative, three to four aro cathartic.
They regulate and cleanse tho liver,
stomach and bowels—quickly, but
thoroughly. They’re the cheapest
pill, sold by druggists, because you
only pay for the good you get.
They’re guaranteed to give satis¬
faction, every time, or your money
is returned. That’s the peculiar
plan all Dr. Pierce’s medicines are
sold on.
Can you ask more ?
