Vie milk is carefully examined when pecelved, and all Unit Is the least alfeet- with tlie onion or weed flavor, is set a«Mde by itself, and then run through a separator, and its cream kept separate. To this cream is added twice its own bulk of hot water, in which saltpetre, ba the proportion of on«" ounce to thru«» gallons of water, has been dissolved. T4 iéh raises the temperature of the mix ed cream and water to about 1(10 de grees, and It is immediately put through the separator again. The re naît is a fine, thick cream, with no trace •f weed flavor in it. and withal tlior- •ugtily pnsteurlzed, and tlie Babcock best shows no loss of fat in tlie opera- fllon. In order to ripen such cream for •horning, a starter is needed. Pas- beiirixing lias been tried for tlie purpose to eliminating bad flavors from cream with partial, though not perfect, suc- •css. The same may be said in refer- Mi«"e to heating the milk and running it through the separator at a temperature to 155 degrees or 1110 degrees. Washing •ream has also been tried, with the wat er at the ordinary temperature of sep arating, and this has very materially reduced bad flavors.—Hoard's Dairy- Ban. Substitute for a Smokehouse. The illustration, which is from the American Agriculturist, shows a simple plan for smoking a small quantity of meat, without any expense whatever for a smokehouse. The lower barrel has a small door through which to replenish the smouldering fire in the Iron kettle on the inside. The bottom of the box has holes in it similar to those In the txqi, th«' upiM'r b a r r el being raised to show these, The front of tlie box is hing- ed to adrnlt tlie meat, The up|>er barrel has neither top nor bottom ami serves merely as a chimney to provide some little draft and to carry •ff the smoke. Two small holes in the lower barrel admit air to feed the •mouldering tire. Winter Squashes. SqmLslies, unless ripened, will not keep well. Sometimes they are left out too long. After tlie frost lias killed the vines the squashes are expora-d to the •<M«I and to freezing and thawing. Such ■quaslieH cannot k«‘ep well. Squashes mini also 1«' carefully Imndh'd. If the «hell is bruised in getting them under «over, they are sure to rot early, They should be well ripened, gathered before heavy frosts, well dried, kept in an wen temperature, and careiully han dled. A warm, damp cellar is a bail place for storage. They should tie kept in a dry room, where temperature is flair iy even and not piled in a heap, ptacixl on open shelves. if there •nly a few they may be spread on floor. Sort them over and pick out •oft-ahelled ami unripe ones to be used ftrwl. A Kcal Snow Plow. This is not a wedge to push the snow to one side, but a plow that raises and delivers it above and upon the undis turbed snow at the side. Such a plow Must have a strong frame, the liars reaching out In front lieing not leas than 3x3. an«l they must la* 6 ft long. them a risk should dry weather occur. Al the West Virginia experiment sta tion it has been found that beans grown in drills product'd twice as much as those grown in hills. As the bush Limas may be planted with a seed drill, in rows, and require no iioles, they can lie grown more profitably than hereto fore. There arc also varieties of bush Limas that are as large as the pole kinds, and they bring good prices in market. These facts should be kept la view for next year. Apples in Paper. A friend recently sent us a basket of handsome apples, each specimen of which was wrnpiied In strong manilla paper. After tasting these apples, we unwrapped a number to admire their beautiful color, after which they were forgotten for several weeks. Happen ing to discover them later, we found that those which had lieen unwrapped were partially decayed, while those that were wrapinsl were in prime con dition. having scarcely ripened at a l. ami no decay appearing. Why do not I fruitgrowers wrap their apples ami pears in paper more frequently. to pre serve them, not ofily f<ir a few weeks in the fall, but through the entire win ter? Orange growers hav«» found it profitable to wrap every orange sent out to the markets. It is not expensive to wrap and pack away a barrel of ap ples. It might cost 50 cents, but think of th«' delight of opening such a barrel next April, ami finding them in splen did condition. Colman’s Rural World. Lime, Plaster and Iron. Keeping Milk from Odors.

The tin toilet sets come for 75 cents up ward. to a very nice one for $1.50. The beginning of this corner is a triangle T Woman’s Duties. No profession, no calling ever «¡nite exempts any woman from tlie trivial cares and household needs which have always fallen to her share, and the smaller demands refuse to be neglect ed for the sake of the greater. Be she mistress of any or all the arts ami aciencea, there are sundry feminine du ties to which the matron must attend, if it 1 m > only to delegate her authority or to oversee the execution of her orders. One recalls pleasantly Mrs. Somer ville's honest pride in her delicious jel ly, ami the serenity with which she concealed th«» mathematical papers on which she was busily working while she hospitably welcomed tjie common place p«‘ople whose unexpected and prosy visit consumed an entire day.— Household. One reason why much poor butter Is made in the winter season is because the milk is set in some room adjoining tlie kitchen, where it is subjected to nil the tslors of the kitchen stove used in cooking meats and vegetables. These odors, with the heat from the stove, are absorbed by the milk, and as the cream has to be warmed so as to ripen, the germs thus admitted have the best pos sible chance to Increase.

In fact, there is not much ad vantage for feeding to have oats above the standard weight.
