Then she rose and went over to it. Some ladies stared, even a benevolent old gentleman showed upon his face that he didn't tinderetand it, and plainly nobody thought the better of her for making advances to those specimens of the lower dames. "Going to the lake?" she asked the little one pleasantly. The chiiclr and the boy were too awkward to answer, but the girl found her tongue and said "yes" constrainedly, And then, warmed up by the kind eyes and manners, she added Ye see, Mikey ain't a bit well, an' we both be gain' with him to see to him. But Mikey !mustn't touch," with a threatening gesture, as the thin, small baby hand was outstretched for the nasturtiums. "Oh, yes let him hold the boquet minute. I know he'll be careful," said the nice girl, smilinegly putting it into Mikey's hands. The brother looked gratified, and crowded ctose to Mikey to keep it from ace cidents. "Give him the ride round the lake. The steamer went on this morning," said thS new friend, slipping a dime into Mikey's fingere whea she took her bouquet back.i And shareoeived back the flowers into he perfectly gloved hands bravely, with no in dication whatever that she was afraid her kids would show the effects of the dirt oni Mikey's moist little palm. "Dim can got too now," fetid silent Mikey, looking up at the coon -skin cap with a gleam of affection, and displaying his dime. "Dim" turned scarlet, and the girl ex- plained : " Oh thank ye; Mikey knew Jim had just enough change for me and him td get on the eteamer with. Now we can all three go." Mikey had a little packet of bread and _batter in his lap. The others did not seern. to be provided with any lunch at all. In lorne deft, delicate way the young well- y/labor managed to transfer to the girl a handful of fresh, crisp macaroons from her silk shopping -bag without making her little gfft observed by the whole company.

Kindness begets kindness. One of the ladies who had been staring, leaned across now to ask how long the little boy had been sick.

The other circular gave directions for the use of "Black Pepsin" in churning. Said directions are copyrighted by the Cloud, Harlin Company, and retail for $2.50 each. Each box of pepsin sells for $2.50,' and will make 500 lbs. of butter. I may say that I wrote Cloud, Harlin de Co.'Toronto. on November 5, asking for further particulars and more pepsin, but at this writing (No- vember 14) 1 have received no word from them. The directions On the envelope for die - solving the powder were as follows: Melt sufficient butter to make two teaspoonfuls butter oil, then add to the butter oil the contents of this envelope, and keep hot till all is dissolved. When dissolved it is ready for use. Tide sample is sufficient for churn- ing two gallons. Use according to directions for making butter With Black Pepsin. It will require three or four churnings to get the best results, but this sample will give you a good idea. I followed directions, boilingethe powder or one and a half hours in a water bath, and found it insoluble. I also boiled it in water and found it but very slightly solu- ble. It wasoelso insoluble_ in alcohol and in dilute muriatic acid. After boiling for a time it resembles butter color somewhat. On November 7 we made an experiment, with the following results: Eight and one- half pounds of cream, which tested 15.4 per cent. of fatt or contained - about one and one-half pounds of butter, were treated ac- cording to directions. (The directions say that for each gallon of cream add two pounds of melted butter when the better "breaks.") When finished there were three and one-half pounds of worked and salted butter. After deducting the melted butter we had but one and one-half pounds of butter, which was about the original amount contained in the cream. The but- termilk contained .9 of 1 per cent. of fat. On. November. 12 I took 18 pounds of crease, testing 17.4 per cent. of fat, that had been properly ripened. It was evenly divid- ed after mixing. One-half was churned ,ae, cording to "Directions for making butter with Black Pepsin," and the other half churned in the ordinary way. The first or pepsin churning, after deducting the melted butter added, produced one and one-half pounds of better. The second lot, to which no pepsin was added, produced two and one- quarter pounds of butter. The buttermilk from the pepsin churning contained 1.6 per cent. of fat, while the other contained 0.4 of 1 per cent. of fat. The difference of three-gnarters of a pound of butter in favor of no pepsin. I would account for in this way : In handling the melted butter there are more or less loss by stieking to the utensils, while the buttermilk contain- ed over one-quarter of a pound of butter. There would also be some difference in the working of two samples, as no two lots can be worked to contain exactly the same percentage of water, etc. These two experiments, in which we have used all the "Black Pepsin" sent us, show no advantage whatever by using it, while the extra labor involved is double. In the mea,ntime I would advise farmers to continue making butter by the latest im- proved methods, hoping to make the ordi- nary profits, and give "Black Pepsin" and alt other rich -fast compounds iv wide berth. It is possible that some new kind of food May be manufactured from milk. It will not be butter, but somethingwhich 'contains more of the solids of milk than does either butter or cheese.

The difference seems to have ex- isted ever since' peaches were cultivated, being mentiohed by the oldest horticultural writers. Many varieties in thie color of the, ripened peach have arisen under culti- vation. In one, the skin is of a uniformly . soft pale ,greenish white, another may be described as white, and a third golden. The peach crossed the Atlantic and found its way to America in 1680. Since then the in- -dustry has inereased, not. rapidly at first but of late its spread and cultivation has been unprecedented, especially in the mid- dle states;where orchards containing from ten to twenty thousand trees are net un - Common, a,nd *here in marketing season • special trains are chartered to carry thepro- duce to the great cities.

The apricot is that beautiful yellow stooe frnit, nearly globular, fully an inch and a half in diameter, and furrowed on one side, the complexion of which moved Mr. Rus- kin to describe- it as "shining in sweet brightness of golden velvet."

How the Operation is Performed and the Effect Prod need lly I t. Through questions which have been asked at conventions and farmers' institutes, and by lettere which have been received an opinion has been asked repeatedly ,during the past two years upon the subject of de - horning cattle. Farmers who have suffi- cient open -shed or closed -in -shed conve- nience for the fatteoing ,of steers if they could be allowed to run loose with safety, have made frequent applications for infor- mation. The practice has become common in many of the States of the Union. The references which have been made to it, in the columns of the agricultural press pro- voked further curiosity and interest on the part of Canadian farmers,' to learn from some authoritative source in Canada what effect the operation wouldhave. The mode of procedure was to put each steer into the sling which we . use for lifting the bulls when the hoofs are to be trimmed. The neck was fastened securely between two upright pieces of scantling, one of which was movable at the top, after the style of the common Old-fashloned stable stanchion. The head was then tied to one side. The hair around the base of each horn was clipped off, to permit the cutting to be effected in such a way as to remove a narrow ridge of skin with the horn. Lea- vitt's ilehorning machine was used on two horns. It is constructed in such a way as to clip the horn off at one snip. In the case of three-year-old steers, the horns were too hard and tough for one man to use the machine with sufficient quick- ness of motion. For the other horns, a common fine-toothed carpenter's saw was used. The operation -on each horn lasted from five seconds to one-half of a minute. In the case of two of the steers, the saw cut through an artery, from which a small jet of blood spurted. The wounds' on the heads of two of the steers, appeared to be acutely painful for nearly a week; the other two animals did not appear to stiffer any inconvenience after the operation was ended. It was not expected that blood would flow so freely from the wounds as it did in the two cases mentioned, and no particular preparation had been made to staunch the flow at once. A cloth covered with coal -tar, is probably one of the most accessible and suitable applications which can be made on the ordinary farm. The steers have been fed in box' stalls, running loose in pairs, and they seem to be most healthy and gentle since the wounds healed. In the case of a Jersey bull, he had be- come so vicious that the attendants went into the box -stall only at the jeopardy of their lives. Instructions had been given several months previously that no one was ,to go into the box -stall until after it had been securely tied. For the dehorning operation, the bull was tied kin a similar manner to the steers. His home were sawn off as close to the skull as possible. Not a 'thimbleful of blood altogether was shed; and when he was turned loose in his box - stall he acted as mildly as a lamb. -Jas. W. Robertson, Agriculturist, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa.
