FOB FAUM AKD GARDES. 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.

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¬ here of its own accord.— [Chicago Post. 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*. QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

Every fairly large house in Tokio has its own bath-room; but, besides this, there a^e no less than 800 baths in the city r of Tokio, where 300,000 persons bathe daily at a cost per I ead of 1 sen 3rin, or about a half-penny. The universality with which watch- charms are now worn is an evidouce of tho strong hold which superstition takes upon an age or a people. War¬ riors once wore such trinkets for the supposed protection they gave. A Plymouth (Mass.) man who died recently at the age of eighty-nine years left a request that his cat, which Bad been his companion for many years, be killed and buried in the same grave witli him, and his wishes were carried out to the lottcr. Eider down is tho down of tho cider duck. Tliis duck is common in Greenland, Iceland, and the islands north and west of Scotland. It is about the size of a goose, and receives its distinctive name from the river Eider in Denmark. It is asset ted by French vintagers that the grapes gathered at sunrise always produce the lightest and most limpid wine. Moreover, by plucking tho grapes when the early morning sun is upon them they aro believed to yield a fourth more juice. The legend as to tho origin of woman is different with various nations. Not moro than four nations accept tho legend that she W'as made from a man’s vib. The Japanese believe that she grew on a tree, the Laplanders that she was once n rabbit, the Per¬ sians that she fell front tho heavens and tho Australians that she was first a toad tool.

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.”— [Harper’s Magazine.

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 ?
