A careless picker is something no one can
afford to have itt the stra,veberry Wild. His
services may be worth absolutely nothing --
or even may prove an edited lass, Be may
step on berries and yinee, 'May overi6olt

before, the next .picliing, may injure the
grower's repo tation by Ricking iintnature,de-
caying or damaged berries,and thee may do
more hartn than his -poor services are worth.
Sometimes, however, the rush of work is so
great that one is driven into taking such
workers as he Can get. It pays well in etteh
cases to let the work' of each come often
under the eye of the employer. The careful
picker prefers to havo his work inspected,
so that he may get credit for the extra care
he takes ; and all the -pickers will be epur-
red into better work by inspeotion. A care-
less worgman among an uninspected crew
of pickers has more Influence in grading the
work downward than e 'careful one has in
grading it upward.
SIMS pickers do the work with one hand,
carrying the box in tlie other. Others pick
with both betide, doing rapid work.by let-
ting the two hands work independently of
each other on different plants. Neither of
these ways is likely to give satisfactory
results to the employer, if he is a man of a
carefttland prudent turn of mind, Thie
eort of grab el A ripe berry often breaks the
atom and breaks off the whole cluster, with
its numerous berries iu all stages of develop-
ment. Sometimes in the haste and indiffer-
euce of the picker the whole bunch is thrown
into the box, which is the following of one
evil with a worse. At beat, the most of the
cluster has to be thrown away and. lost.
The proper way to do the work is to set
the box on the ground and tise both hands,
but to pick only with ono hand at the MIMS
moment. Both heeds may press aside the
leave a in the searching part of the work.
Then ono grasps the stem AS the other picks
the berries, and the two parts of the work
may alternate rapidly from one to the other.
.A careful pleker will not attempt to finish

will pick across on one side and return on
the other side of the same row. This Avoids'

eseary. It also permits the eye of the pick-

directions, leading to the discovery of many
hidden berries thet would otherwise be lost.

The .Art of Butter Making.
A PAM: ViSAY ON Tali FillaJnar.
The faun& tion of all good biater is good
pure milk, and without such milk it is im-
possible to make strictly first-eless butter.
Pure milk can only be had front healthy,
well.fed cows Unit are handled with the
utmost care. The cream from milk of old
milking and poorly -fed cam deo not oh nut
as well and does notproduce as fine butter
as dem the cream from !melt and wellsfed
cows, hence the importance of feeding well
and having fresh cows when the best arttele
is to be produced.
Although the utmost care be taken in
handling milk, a, small amount of dirt is
liable to get into it, consequently the sep-
arator is the best method of securing the
cream from the milk, as it moves more, if
not all, of the solid foreign matter of the
milk. The best Vine to separude the milk
is inamedietely after it ie drawn from the
eow, its the small particles of dirt can thus,
to a great extent be removed before they
dissolve and taint the milk very much.
This, however, is impraoticable in a cream-
ery where the milk is received only once
daily, but ou the farm where the small
hand separator is used, it is found very con-
venient. If one has not enough' milk to
justify himself in securing a baud separator,
and is not so located as to be able to sell
milk to a creamery, the eold deep setting
will then be found the best means of scour-
ing the cream front tho milk.
As milk readily absorbs odors of any kind,
the submerged process of deep setting will
undoubtedly be founcl best, because the mil k
being placed entirely under water is prac-
tically removed from anything that may
contaminate it.
When the soRarator is usel it is found
very necessary immediately after the cream
is separated to cool it down to at least 60
degrees, and lower if possible. This will
to a great extent obviate the much complain-
ed of fault of the butter coming too soft,
and much butter weld be considerably bet-
tered in quality if this method was strictly
adhered to, especially in hot !Keather.
To secure thorough churning .the cream
must be properly and evenly rmgned. The
best manner to a.ccomplish thie as to add to
the cream a starter composed.of either sour
skinamilk, buttermilk or sour cream. Sour
ski:n-111M; especially prepared for this Yur-
pose is best, as by its use objections.' germs
are not as liable to be carried along from
day to day as by the use of either of the
other two. After the starter is added the
oreatn should be thoroughly stirred.
The germs of the starter will thus be distri-
buted evenly through all the cream thereby
caushig it to ripen evenly.
When the cream, of several different
skimmings is to be chin -fled at one churning,
the cream first 'secured should be kept cool
and sweet until the last is secured when it
should all be.placed in one vessel and ripen -
If two batches of cream representing two
different stages of ripeness are added to-
gether and churned immediately, consider-
able loss will teen] b. The riper cream will
churn more readily than the other conse-
quently the fat of the cream least ripe will,
to a greet extent, be lost in the buttermilk.
The temperature et whtch cream should
be kept to ripen depends upon the season
of the year and the time you desire to keep
it before &turning: The lenith of time
cream should belt ept before churning, should
not be over one day in summer and two
days in winter. Cream standing a loeg
time' will develop, an old end bitter Hever
even if it is kept fromegetting sour. Cream
ripens faster under a .warm temperature,
toin summer ooze must be takeit not to
let; it get too ripe, while in winter
heat must often be applied, to get it
ripe enough by the t me it ought to be
churned. The best way to apply the heatis
to place the veasel containing the oream in
warm water. Occasional stirring will pre-
vent the formation of a Stiff, thick layer on
top and enure even ripening.
When the cream has acquired a nice acid
flavor and glossy appearance it is ready for
the churn. •The temperature at which the
churning should be done varies from 55 to
58 degrees in summer and from 58 to 62
degrees in winter. The churn that will
produce the best results is the square or rec-
tangular box churn.
Before the churn is started enough but-
ter color should be added to give the but-
ter a nice yellow color. After the churn
has beat run a short tirne it should be

the water used in washing runs clear from
aho churn.. Two o three applications of
water will accomplish this if the batter is
in a granular condition, but if let nether
into large lurops it is much more difficult
to wet& out the buttermilk, and an in-
ferior grade of butter is apt to be the
result,
After the butter had been thoroughly
washed, it should be removed from. the

with pure good salt, using about one ounce
salt to the pound of butter. The batter
should now be worked until the salt in

The kind of package to be used depends
upon the manner in which you desire to
dispose of the butter. To make in prints

will do well if intended for private custom-
ers, but whim to be sold on commission it
should be firmly. packed in nice, met,

that it should mature, if at oll, when freed

at a temperature near 60 degrees; that

The skunk is commonly regarded as the
farmers' enemy. He certaanly destroys
poultry and eggs, and thus does much
damage. Bat to the hop -grower he presents
himself in diffirent guise. The white grub
is the tvorat enemy the hop -grower has to
contend with, and the shunk gets most of
his living from this morsel. One of them
will go through a field of hops, stop at each
hill, and if its quick ear detects a grub
working underground it quickly unearths
and devours it. In mosb hop -growing dis-

The loss from the shrinkage of stored
grain and potatoes is figured out as follows
by the Produce Exchange Reporter. This
eseimate is made on the basis of interest at
7 per cent., but.takes no account of the ad-
ditional depreciation due to depredations
of rats, mice and vermin: " Wheat from
the time it is threshed will shrink two
quarts to the bushel, or six per cent. in
eix months in the most favorable circum-
stances. Hence, it follows that 94. cents a
bushel for wheat when first threshed in
Auguet is as good as $1 the following
February. Corn shrinks more from, the
time it is husked; 100 buthels of ears, as
they come from the held in November, will
be reduced to not far heat 80. So that 40
CfMtil a bushel 'or corn in the ear, EIS ib
cornea from the field, is as good as 50
cents in. March. In the case of potatoes—
taking those that rot and are otherwise lost
—together .with the. shrinkage, there is but
•litttlo doubt that between October and June
the loss to the owner who holds them is not
less than 33 per cent." •

Distinguished Indian 'Prince Marries the
Sister or Ms Chief English Trainer.
Indian society is greatly exercised over
the marriage of his Highness' the )(fellers-
jah of Petiole with Miss Florrie Bryan, the
sister of his chief horse -trainer. The story,
as told by the London Gra.phic, is somewhat
rornantio. The Maharajah is ruler of one
of the principal Sikh States, and is one of
the rnost renowned sportemen io India. He
ha e certainly the best stable in India,
and. has spent large sums in promoting
horse racing, hia coloura being generally to
the fore in every leading event. He is the
best polo player in the country, and it was

the crack teams of Calcutta, while he te
enthusiastic in all matters, of sport.
Speaking English perfectly, the Mahar). -
jab was quite a favorite in Anglo•Indian
society • but the Indian Foreign Office
would never consent to his visiting Eng.
land. Miss Florrie Bryan is the sister of
Mr. J. Bryan, whom the Maharajah en-
gaged some years ago to look after Itis
stables. She is of lrieh extraction, and if
not born iu India has passed most of her
life in that country.
The Maharajah met her at a ball some
twelve months ago and became enamoured
of her, brit little was thought of the attach-
ment awing to the dieperity in their social
and racial positions. Titres months ago

Snake -Eating in Paris.
Italians, us it is well known are partial to
harmless snakesand have no objection to
eat them cooked. A frittura composed of
the common wood -serpent's flesh is even re-
garded as a dainty by the lower orders in
Rome, Florence, and Naples, and is often
served up to them in their dingy rattan, -
ants. Parisians of the inferior classes are
also great eaters of fried snake'', but -unwit-
tingly so, for the reptiles are palmed off on
them as eels. Thus the apparently appetis-
ing ilieltes Imown as tnetelette cl'anguilleand
anguille a la tartare are often in low eating
houses nothing but harmless snakes, caught
in the wilder part of the Vincennes Wood,
and brought up to a special market near
the Place de la Republique. It is probable,
however, that even if the members of the
poorer classes here who oveasionally indulge
in fried or stewed eels mere apprised of
the fraud practised at their expense they.
would evince no loathing, nor even lack or
appetite, seeing that they are ready to de-
vour not only horse flesh, but meat of mule,
donkey, and dog any clay in the week.

The number of -persons who ind their way /
into gaol is rapidly diminishing. In 13ritain 1
the figures for 1892 were 12,663, a decrease
of 413 on the previous year. The climb'.
utiou would appear even greater were it not

number was 10,818, thareturns have shown

population has enormously increased. Two
prisons have had at one time of the year
only seven prisoners within their walls.
