Seven Points In MnnngitiR Milk.
1. To make the finest-flavored ami
longest keeping butter the cream mu-t
undergo it ripening process by exposure
to tho oxygen of the air while it is rising.
The ripen ng is very tardy when the
temperature is low’.
2. After the cteam becomes sour, the
more ripening the more it depreciates
Tho sooner it is then skimmed and
churned the bettc, but it should not be
churned while too new. The b st time
for skimming and i hunting is just before
acidity bee mes apparent.
3. Cream makes better butter lo rise in
cold air than to rise in cold water, but it
will rise sooner in cold water, and the
milk will keep swe t longer.
4. The deeper the milk is set the le-s
airing the cream gets while ri in.'.
6. The depth of setting should vary
with the temprrature; the lower it is
the deeper milk maybe ct; the higher,
the shallower it should be.
15. While milk is standing for cream to
TOPULAU SCIENCE.
At tho Ycsuvian Observatory, Palmier!

but that positive electricity is produced
during evaporation.
A new and pausib'.o explanation of the
destructive tin’s occurring in p no forests
is olTer d. The pine resin exuding from
the trees is often of lens shape, and be
fore it thoroughly hardens frequently of
c vstaline clearness. It is surmised that
while iu that condition a resin lens may
focus the sun's rays upon some twig or
resinous point, and so start a bla/.o that
quickly cats up a forest.

Ail Old Splinter.
Recently Dr. A. T. Hudson extracted
a splinter one inch long and one eighth
of an inch in thickness from the hand of
.James Raid of Trinity county. Mr.
Bard is nu old soldier nnd served on the
Union side during the civil war. He
participated in nn engagement in July,
1803 and while iu the act of aiming his
musket a bullet from the enemy’s ranks
struck the st,.ck of the musket nnd shat
tered it. He was wounded in the palm
of hia hand, aud it was supposed that the
bullet had lodged in the flesh. The
wound soon healed, and for a long time
enused no trou )le or pain. After serv
ing through the war Air. Bard came to
California nnd settled in Trinity county,
where he has sinco resided.
Of Into his hand has caused him con
siderable trouble, especially when stoop
ing to pick up anything, nnd he was nd-
vised by a local physician to hnvenn ope
ration performed upon it, but ho did not
feel able to stand the expense. Air. Bard
takes considerable interest in Grand
Army matters. He is very patriotic, nnd
has a right to be, in as much ns lie parti
cipated in fifty-two bnttles nnd skirmish
es during tho late war. Ho was bound to
attend the encampment nt San Francisco,
nnd to raise the requisite funds sold a
cow for $50. While in San Francisco ho
met Dr. A. T. Hudson of this city. The
Doctor also advised an operation on the
ailing hand, and learning that Air. Bard
was not able to stand the expense, he
magnanimously offered to perforin the
operation gratuitously if Air. Bard would
come to Stockton, and the latter accord
ingly ciimc. Dr. Hudson rc-opcned the
wound and probed it, nnd instead of
finding a bullet, ns wns expected, found
the splinter above described. It was a
piece of the old musket stock, and lind
remained imbedded in the man’s flesh
for twenty-three years, nnd wns in n good
state of preservation. Air. Bnrd’s hand
will soon be all right again. He is very
grateful to Dr. Hudson for his generosi
ty.—Stockton Independent.

uso of dry cuith, and every one keeping

lt,is tho greediest cows, and these are
nlways the best, which are most apt to
choke with fallen fruit. Even they'are
not liable to injury if not fed when
ravenously hungry and given 'plenty of
timo. It is 111a nly the Imsto with which
fruit surreptitiously obtained is swal
lowed that induces danger. If a cow is

Bolid substance, and then with the hand

The rakings of wheat, oats nnd rye
are not often worth threshing, at least
to mix with the good rain. As goo I a
plan as auy is to put these by tkcmsclv cs

in a clean place, und the exercise of
scratching among tlio straw for scatter-

whole grain liens gorge them-elvcs by

is to bo envied; It can go through life j
without ever needing a dentist, unless it !

long enough to give them any chance to
decay or ache oil get out of order in nny
way. When an al.igat ir’s tooth is worn
out or broken, or in need of any kind of |
repair, it drops out, and, b hold! a now j
one is ready to take its p ace. But I !
hardly need say that the alligator’s toeth i
tiro a oy only to itself.
Anoth r peculiarity of th • alligator is
it< n ility to sleep. Like ot ler reptiles,
it is so cold-l>l o led that it likes warmth
and hitea old. It needs water, too,
and ns the dry m as m nnd the cool sou- j
son come on together in Florida, there I
is a double sea-o i why the Florida alii- i
gator should go into winter quarters.
It buries its.-lf iu the mud after the man
ner of its kind and settles down for a
long nap.
Sometimes it happens that grass and
qui k growing slit ubs spring up on the
hack of this torpid animal. As n rule
those are all shaken or washed off when,
with tlio first warm rains, the. alligator
rouses itself and makes for the water;
but occasionally, for some reason, the
mud clings and witlnt the plant-growth,
s i that when the half nwakeno 1 < reaturo
si des into the water and floats stupidly
off. it looks like a outing island.
In one sucli instanco, a plover was so
deceived as to build its nest in the plant-
growth on the alligator's back. Tho liv-
island so freighted floated slowly
wife. They are often given to the cows
but are poor feed for milk. Iu fact, u
raw potato, and especially if unripe, is
poor food for anything. If cooked they
make very fair summer food fo. pigs.and
with the addition of a little meal will
fatten them rapidly. The potato parings
arc much better than ilie small potatoes.
There is more of the nutriment of tlio
potato in and near the rkin than in the
centre.
It is impo-sible to give cucumber vines
too much water, provided it is warmed
and given 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 carih to retain evaporation.
The greatest point in keeping cucumber
vines productive is to keep tlio fruit
picked very closely, One over-grown
cucumber will exhaust the vine more than
a dozen pickle. Cut the fruit oil rather
than | ull it off. This pro cuts breaking
the fruit around the stem, which will
inevitably cause rot.
It is desirable in keeping pigs in or
chards to have them in as many lots as
poUible. This is especially true when
sows with litters of pigs constitute the
stock. Movable pig pc.is, made so as to
be taken apart and put together again,
not only accomplish this obje t, but m-

different parts. After the pigs have been

Broom-Corn in (he South.
A broom factory in Atlanta, Ga., lias
proved a profitable enterprise, although
all the broom corn which it uses is
brought from Chicago, and, of course,
pay- a heavy toll for transportation. The
ee I of 'h" p'ant is being fr-e'--- o'Tc’xd
lo inc farmers of Georgia to induce them
to try the new crop, and there is equal
reu-on for introducing it gen-rally into
Louth Carolina.
It has been recently prove 1 that the
broom corn attains an extraordinary
growth in the low country of this State.
The agricultural depirtment should lose
no time in furnishing seed and informa
tion m regard to the cultivation and the
crop in order that the experiment may
be fully tried next ytar. There is a
market for all of the plant that will be
grown; it requires no peculiar knowl
edge or skill to grow it; and if it shall
prove to be as profitable in South Caro
lina as it is elsewhere, a valuable addition
will bo ma le to our iist of farm products.
