In the average farm ' dairy, tee little at.
tention is given to ' the management o
-milk, The intreduotton ot what may be
termed "the home-made'oreamery Pysteria,".
has proved a ,wonderful beau to many
farmers. Such as. do not invest In the,
patented creainertea need nine artificial
method far keping the Milk and: dream at
a proper temperature. A , neighboring
&seiner has for several yearskept Milk in a
cellar -tank, which is suppItedfrom an ad-
joining pond . of pure,. water. • -Into this
water -tank, ,cans, 20 inches . deep, are set BO
that the water comes' to Within two inches,
• of the top, and they aro left, .uncovered, to
-allow the animal- heat to pass' off. 'A ther-
mometer, becasionally plunged into the,
water, enables him to regulate the tempera-
ture, which should be at about 62 degrees,
and as a reault, the ,ori3ana rises, to a; depth
of. from two to three inches, in the can.
The tank was built, and :voter condueted
to it,. at a"small expense, which has been.
.amply repaid, as the quantity of crearn
greatiy exceeds that produced by the old
wiethod of setting in shallow pans. BY.
,some. such means as this the farm dairy
may be made a. profitable adjunct to
general farming.
Canninix B.hubarb.
Those who are fend ox rhubarb are
reminded that it maybe canned . for winter

supply ought to be put up: at dnee,, as the
gathering should soon cease,luid the ,plants
allowed to grow and gain; strength• for the
product of next • spring. ,In eenninge, the
rhubarb is stewed as if ferthe table. e Seger
. may be added or not ; it ' is not necessary
for its preeervation, , but many.'think it is
more convenient-to-add'it at once, other -
win the rhubarb has to be .heated 'before it
is and, in order to properly ineorporate the
sugar. The hot, rhubarb is filled into the
jars in the nine manner as stewed fruits;
and the covers pat on at • once. .Before
'placing away, try if itis possible te ecrew:

rhubarb at this . Beason,select- the .newer.

gut OBJECT TEN. THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Captain Matthew Webb, who SWaM the
Englishillia,nnel in 1875, and now proposee
to ewirn through the whirlpool rapids b-
ow the Niagara rolls., explained his plan
ici a New York; Heriald reporter a day or
two ego, . '
"Yes," he said, "1 am going to swim the
whirlpool ritpide, and I will Bay that it is
about the angriest bit of ,water in the,
world. 1 came over . from ..Eogland two.
weeks ago to make the trial, and I went to
the.rapide last week and made a. critical
examination. They are rough, I teli you,
and thee whirlpool is a grand lone, but I
think I ane strong enough and akilled
enough to get througn alive.' The people at
Niagara Falls tell inc that I will be simply
comaiitting suited°. ' You ought to. hear the
blood.ourdliegestoriee that were retailed for
my benefit. Aeyear or two ago a boy who
was paddling around in the shoe water was
drawn into the rapids and had his head cut
off: A girl f ell ;into the river last summer
from the'Suspension Bridge, and when her
de -al body was picked np.at the other end
Of the rapids it Wag bereft of all clothing
but a pair of stockings. In twenty-three
year they say that eighty persons have lost
their lilies in the rapids."
' ine OBJECT AND inc' PLAN. • • -
, "But whateis, your object 'in 'attempting
such a terribleeleat ?"" • •
"Ten thousand dollars." .
"How do you propose to pass through the
rapids ?"
' "111 explain .my The. current,
they. say, is thirty-nihe mileart .houraiand
the river is ninety•five feet deep. " It is
wide just below the lane and, narrows at
'the rapid's. -I am only ,afraid of two awful
ledges of pointed rooks which jut out from
the shores into'the whirlpool. • The water
fairly.shrieke and hieses as; it boils over
them. Now, I' Went to avoid the sides, and
yeil dare -not gnintetbe middle, 1 or there
lies the vortex, and that ranans..death... I.
Will, go but intothe middle of the river in a
s mall boatj ustabout the Suspension Bridge.
The only clothing I shall Wear Will be. the
silk trunks 1 had on when I swam the -Eng-
lish Channel.' At the time. appointed I
will leap into the river and float into the
rapids. •01 course I will make no attempt
to go forward, or the feakful speed of the
water will carryme. through. When the
water gets very bad I will go under the sur-
face, -and remain beneath until I am com-
pelled tcreeine. 'up for breath. That will
be pretty often, I wager'. When I strike
the whirlpool I will strike out with all my
strength, and. try ..to. keep away from the
-suck hole in the centre. I will begin with
the breast etrokes and then, use overhand
strokes'. My life will then depead upon
my museles and my -breath, with . a littler,
touch of science behind them. It may
'take.me two• or 'three hours to getout of the ,
whirlpoolothich is -about. a quarter of a
mile long.e When I do get through I will.
try to land On the -Canadian side, but if the
Current is too Swift, as I think it is, I will
keep on downto Lewiston on the American
side." • • •
• PUBLIC INTEREST IN TUE PROPOSED ireA,r'.
The feat will prObahly e per orme on
the 2lat July. The various railway COLO-.
pa.nies which run to Niagara Falls have
subsoribed 10;000 for Captain Webb, and
it is -expected that -a hundred thousand per.
'sons will witness the undertaking. Pre-
parations are being made to have. special
excursions from every wine and city within

• A NOVEL SPECTACLE.,
'
For some months past Mr. F. J. Willson,
of the Willem Sewing Machine Company,
corner Queen and l'eter streets, and Mr.
A. White, foreman of that manufacterY,
have been engaged in perfecting az incuba-
tor which may now be pronounced cone.
pieta in every way. The incubator is a
equare box 4' feet 6 inches long, 3 feet wide
and 4 feet 6 incheslaigh. It is constructed
with an air cushlon an inch wide all
around -it and a ,wall of plaster of the
same width to prevent radiation
of air. The top is a glass sash with the
necessary ventilators. Thereare tin
boilers (outside) at each end of the incuba-
tor, ,serving \\two dietinet syatems of hot
water circulation. The hot water pipes
in the interior are covered with blankets;
and these drop into open water at the
bottom on either side, operating on the
same principle as a lamp wick; the
blankets remain moist all the
time, and throw out the additional
heat required for hatching. The eggs are
placed in an open drawer with open wire
bottom, and are covered with a light
flannel. They are turned and allowed 20
minutes in exposure to the ordinary
atmosphere every day. The tret experi-
ment by Messrs. Willson and White was
not very successful, and they attribute it
to the sudden atmospheric changes, which
thie season . were of a nattire almost
to puzzle a hen herself. The second test
promises to be all that could be desired.
Three weeks ago Int night, several dezens
of common store eggs were put in, 'and
this morning the chickens are pickie4 e.t
the shells at a lively rate. Two healthy
looking birds walked out about 9 o'clock,
and hundreds of others will soon follow.
