The frequent use of the thermometer enables one to adti a little waren water, or later cold water or ice to get his butter to come in a reasonable time, and have it cool at the last end of the churn- ing to more easily control the granulation. When the granules are forming cold water can be added, cooling the butter sufficiently, so that it will collect into larger granules, and classes but slowly. The chill of the cold water prevents any sudden massing to- gether of the granules, which those learn- ing the granular process sometimes have trouble with. Cold wash water used after drawing off the buttermilk from beneath the MASS of granules further drills them when 'they will not stick together, but may be tossed and fine salt stirred in, like in so many grains of wheat. Boys on the Farm, We often seen in papers and books sub- jects with headings something like these : •'.How to Keep the Boys at Home," or "How to Cause Children to Acquire a Love for Home," and the subjects have been well ven- tilated already; but, digressing a little for a while, I will write a few remarks apart from my subject, but still in connection with it, beginning with " Hovr not to cause the boys to acquire a love of home." To do this effectively, keep them at work all the time at something, often of the most disagreeable jobs one tan find on the farm, if the parent is a farmer, or keep them at work the same in whatever other calling he happens to be in; if they at any time would like a day or more off for fishing, gunning, boating or for some other sport, refuse them, at the same time quote -some of Dr. Franklin's old saws about idle- ness, lost time, the consequences of losing hours, and all that; then if they enjoy any articular sport, take no interest in it, but 'by words and actions show them how much you disapprove of such folly (?). Then if they ask for a little cash with which to buy a boat, a gun, fishing tackle or some other sporting implements, generally give them a negative answer; besides, favor them with a good long sermon on spending money fool- ishly, coming to want or something like that; or if yon should furnish the funds, do it grudgingly, and let the amountbe so small that it will barely purchase the cheapest, the poorest article, or something second- hand. Now, if the father would go on in that style he would snake a complete success of the plan to cause the boys to dislike home and to leave it as soon as possible. On the other hand, if a parent would like to have the young people stay at home or if circumstances compel them to leave it, to have them cherish many happy memories of the dear old place and its surroundings, it ]can be easily done by methods just the opposite. Pater Families should on some day call his boys around him; yes, and his girls too, and should tell them that he had concluded to build for their use a good-sized, well -constructed log cabin in a grove near some lake or stream. The effect would be surprising. No body of savages in a war dance would cut up more antics than would those young people in the exuberance . of their glee. "What, father going to build 118 -a real log cabin! It's something we never dreamed of, too good to be true. What fun we will have, in it., Didn't Daniel Boone, Simon Senton and all of the other early hunters that we have read about, live or stay in them, and now we can have one the same as they did, all to ourselves. Three cheers Son the cabin and for papa'too !" They would think about it clay times and dream about it nights, for they have thought about log cabins many a time before, and read about them too, for more than three-fourths of that pile of story books that the boys have read, treated more or less of log cabins, In- dians, hunters and the like. Now: and then Pater and Mater, with old --- Por all who are tired of the strife, The pangs and perils that we call life -- It calls in the twilight.; "Tice eeholess shore" Will know him tomorrow as ttonly one more !" A. Study of flaws. The intelligent herdsman calls talent eac1, by mine, and eneoarages the tardy ones ; be. needs no drover's whip or shepherd dog to help hien in his task, for the cows know his voice and obey without compulsion, In this starting and stopping, the cows are ad- justing themselves to their rightful places, for it is known to. them all that when they reach the barn door if the queen of the herd is not at its head the others must stand aside and wait until she comes and takes her place first, then comes the next in rank and the next, each u1 her regular order, until finally the youngest and moat timid brings up the rear. Although their stalls exactly. are constructed o y al' t)*e and there are fifteen or twenty i11 a long row, yet every cow knows her own and walks directly to it, where she stands patiently waiting before the empty trough until the attendant brings her food and fastens the horizontal chain in front to the ring in her leathern collar. The - feeding should always be done by the milk- er, for thus the entente cordiale is best pre- served. Experienced dairymen are united in the belief that it is best in every respect to wean the calves from their mothers on the day of their birth. Then the calves do not know they have any mothers, nor do the mothers know their own calves. Man- aged in this way, it is only the -work of a few minutes to house twenty cows and as many calves, for instead of the calves run- ning after their mothers and bleating most piteously, they come crowding around the milkman, who leads them to their stalls until he is ready to feed then. Thus all is done quietly and in order, for the wise milk- man knows that every little disturbance, even a harsh word, will cause a Cow to con- tract her muscles and, as they express it, "hold up her milk." The cow well treated learns to look upon her milker as the only being who can relieve her of the steadily in- creasing pressure of milk in her udder, and with this end in view she will, with muscu- lar action, press her milk toward his hand while he draws it as fast as possible. There is no animal, either human or quad- ruped, whose nervous system is more highly organized, or whose nature is more sensitive than that of the cow, The common expres- sion, "breaking a young cow," is an unfort- unate one. When a young cow has been treated with uniform kindness and gentle. nese from the time she was a little calf, she has learned to have confidence in the one who cares for her, and is willing to be milk- ed as soon as she has milk to give. This is one great advantage in rasing the calves by hand; they come to look upon people as their best friends, knowing that it is from their hands they receive their regular supply of warm sweet milk; and when treated with affectionate consideration they are sure to make gentle and easily controlled mifchcows. Then, too, a calfs an be taught earlier not to depend upon milk alone, but to eat other more nutritious foods. Two months is long enough for a calf to drink whole milk; after that time its ration may be gradually chang- ed to sweet skimmilk, which, contains more nutriment for animal growth than pure ereairr. The worth of sweet skimmilk has always been undervalued, and the -value of pure cream overestimated. It is the nature of cream to produce fat, and that of skimmilk to make muscle and other substantialarts of the body. A calf intended for the dairy should never learn how to get fat, for fear she will, when she comes into milk, use ,her extra ration in that direction. After cows are fed andmflked, unless the night promises to be very inclement, they are dined out in the grasslot around their house to graze or sleep upon the dewy bluegrass and clover. In all things their comfort and health 'are first considered, for to the cow more than to any other domestic animal do we owe a ten- der and grateful feeling.. No table can be well -furnished without her contribution and no farm can be prosperous when deprived of her aid. In fact, a first-class cow will do more toward preserving the health of your household than the doctor next door.— (Country Gentleman. its goodxcsasou, s nd w t71 c tied Given Away. lir ANNIE l'., JACK..

The increase of the population in England and Wales is still very rapid. According to the statistics for 1889, just published by the Registrar General, the births in that year were 885,179, and the deaths 517,968, an increase of 367,211 within the twelvemonths without allowing, for immigration. That is a good solid colony added to the population every year. The total number now exceeds 29,000,000, or six times the population of Ireland, which was once mnclt morethan half our own. The births of men exceed those of women by 16,411, so that the dispro- portion between the sexes in fever of women is due entirely to emigration and occupations abroad. Butfor these intervening causes the number of the sexes would be nearly equal, the excess of male deaths being more than fourteen thousand. At the present rate of increase the pop ulation'of England and Wales will in 1970 be at least sixty millions= rather a formidable prospect if it were cer- tain that the rates would keep steady. There is, however, no certainty of the kind. Many a man who is a good shot in this world hopes to miss fire in the next, • JOHN LABATT'S �elo t ,AY Indian P&/.� 41eandX XXX Brown 810111 , Highest awaras ana Medals for Purity and Excel lence at Centennial Exhibition, Phil adelpiela, 1876; Canada, 1876 ; Australia, 1877 ; and Paris, France, 1878, TESTIMONIAE3 SELECTED: Prot.
