tho fish is still further prolonged.

Large quantities of butter are ei.
i.uiict. iium imssw. ine amount
t oned in 1886 was 4.3U6 ton,
against 3,315 tons in 1880. '
A farmer's wife tells tho Fum' a
Horn that if butter niMkers will nut
iheir cream through a thin li., i .
just before churning it. they will not

An avenue of well-grown trees ,T
tho roadside makes a farm vastly more
attractive and costs little excent the
lator of setting. On high ground the
sugar maple thus set will .

low land the elm is the lian,!wm,
tree, but its roots extend far into the
fields.
Potatoes oimht to bo planted at
least th:ee to Lur inches deep, and if
covered thus deeply tiny will b fonie
tini't in coining up. Weeds are quite
sure to get tho start unless thesinfuce
is harrowed onco or twice before tlm
potato crop is out of the ground. R
really does not hurt tho iotulo to con
tinue the harrowing still longer.
There is a greater demand for ever
green coi n than for any other. It is
late, and, ihereh re, preferred for can
ning. It is very lurge and sweet, and,
therefore, in demand for soilim? nH
ensilage. Being late and large, it u
difficult to cure tho teed without fi
heat, which should, always be girm,
to have it safe from freezine when
cold weather comes.
A man's character can be judged
pretty well by seeing him among liis
cows. If 1 wanted to buv a cow und
was shown one that the owner raited.
and she kept out of reach when he
tried to put his hand on her, I would
rejest her for uo other reason. 1
should be afraid either he had bred all
the good disposition out of her, or that
she had lost any she was born with hy
associating with him.
Tho oichurdist it largely dependent
on tho weather. On one point he it
nearly, if not quite, helpless. If dry
I weather enough dins not come while
bis trees are hlossoiniug for the pollen
to diffuse itself, tho fruit will not set
Part of this work is doubtless depend
ent upon bees, which do not fly dur
ing heavy cold ruins. More than ones
we nave seen abundant blossonun;
followed by heavy rams which waslnd
away tho iMjIlen and left oaly a very
poor Mt of fruit.
Mulching consists in the flpplieitii n
of old straw or something of tho sort
on the surface around the tree, fur
mice or four feet ou each side, und to
the depih of ten or tw lve inches.
This retains the moisture for the beu
f tit of the tree, inst ad of allowing it
to evaporate; und if the teason be
dry it will save tho life of the tree,
while if it happens to bo wet no in
jury will take place. Newly planted
irees olten live without mulching, but
tho danger is great, and the hot, dry
summir frequently prcve fatal; s
lhat the cureinl planter will not run
the risk of neglecting it.
It is quite right to color butler with
unnuito, observes Prof. Stewart. R
has no effect upon the reul quul.ty ef
the butler, except to give it mi appe
tizing color. Butter is one of ths
foods that v.-e taste thr. ugh our ey.
If it has a delicate golden color the
imagination can tusily give it the
aroniu and flavor of the sweetest prurf
butter. If it be too white, us winur
butler must be, without coloring, it i
imagined to be largely composed of
lard. Coloring adds much to the
pleasure of eating it, and therefore to
its digestibility.
In a report on entomology recently
made to the Columbus (O.) Horticul
tural Society Mr. B. W. Allwocd state
I that many remedies were employed on
caooage worms, isone proved of any
value except tobacco soaps and pyreth-
rum. ihe tobacco soaps prepared
with potash were quite efficient, the
value of which was ascribed to the
potash. Pyrelhrum is recommended
as the best remedy, being perfectly
safe, easy of application and more
deadly on the worms than any other
remedy used. Powder of good quality
mixed with three times its bulk i-f
flour, was found perfectly effective, ap
plied with a dusting bellows.
It is related that a genius at Pitts
burg, 111., has made a big barrel chum
upon wheels. He goes through the
country gathering cream, until
proper quantity hat been secured. On
the way home he connects the churn
ing gear, and as he drives along the
churning goes on as the wagon moves
forward, so that when he arrives there
is nothing to do but take out the but
ter and draw off the buttermilk. That
comes pretty near a portable butter
uciory, and its inventor is prooaoi
