Old or young, ask yourself frankly, how many or our troubles ever happened. How many bridges have you been alarmed about which you never had to cross at all? This is worth thinking about.

HOW TO MARE BUTTER. A correspondent of the Bradford Re- cord household department having ask- ed how to make butter, the inquiry was referred to the firm of Austin Leonard Son, of Troy, Bradford county, Pa., buttermakers, who have been awarded premiums at the Pennsylvania and Now York State fairs. They sent the fol- lowing instructive answers as to early and latex' processes: Household Editor of The Record: In our early butter making we set our milk in shallow tin pans of six quarts' capacity, and let it stand until it clab- bered. Then the.crearn was skimtaed off and stored until enough had accumulat- ed. for it churning. It was churned in a dash church, gathered into a lump, taker: up with a ladle, salted to taste and worked over with the ladle until the buttermilk was very nearly worked out; theft left for a few hours for the salt to dissolve an dthe color to clevel- on. It was then reworked until all streaks disappeared and the retaainIng buttermilk was worked out. It NVatil thrill ready for the table or to be pack- ed into firkins for the market. Subseqtiently we adopted tile Ceoley subrnerked spitem for the more com- plete raising of the eream without sour- ing. Then eame the use of the separator, supereeding the Cooley eyetem.

The temperature should be 62 degrees. The hurn should revolve about 40 times a minute for from 15 to 20 sninutes, when the butter will form itt granules. The churn is then rinsed with water at 60 degrees and the buttermilk drawn off. The butter should then be washed with water (60 degrees) until the water remains deer. Then take out the but- ter, weigh it; add three-quartere of ite melee of salt to the pound. Work it until the salt is evenly distributed end the brine is worked out.

Explanation of Marks—What Became of Ecclesiastical Vessels. Silver and gold articles made in Grea,t Britain and Irelanct from the year 1363 were required to be marked with a mak- er's symbol' or initial lettere, say's :the Queen. In addition It had been ordained In the year 1300 that a leopard's bead, or,utg-tamped o sacuraotely4 every p aevlieen'shiet.T dh , senahlid also s heed (bore a crown until the year 1821. In the year 1545, in addition to the maker's head and lion's head, it was ordained that a lion passant ehould be placed on all silver, From A/larch, 1696, to june, 1120, Britannia and lion's "heed erased were substituted for the leopard's head and lion peasant. In addition to these marks the aseaps er impressed a date letter trona about 1413. The date letter began with A. and went onward with each suceesnive letter or the alphabet for a (Tele of twenty years,. Each cycle was distinguished by a different form of letter and differ, ent shape of the enclosing shield. As far as has yet been discovered the earl - lest dated piece Is of the year 1479, thoiag,h we find instances of silver with the date of nearly all subsequent years. It must net, however, be forgotten that much beautiful gold antl silver work Is still in existence, which was made in EngUaid and Ireland long before the regulations for marking -existed.. It May seem, remarkable that It is in Ireland that WO find the finest work in metals, and that from the fifth to the tenth cen- tury Irish work is wound in the highest perfection arid equal to any made in Europe. Two most beautiful specimens, both of which can be seen in the ItoYal Irish Acs.demy, are the Ardagh chalice and the Tara brooeh. In considering plate there Is that im- portant section ecclesiastical plate, and it is sad to thtnk how few and compara- tively 'unimportant are the speciments of church plate made prior to the Re- formation that still exist. We read, for instance. that St. Ghtve's, Southwark, in the year 1552 posseesed more than 1,000 ources silver—ehalices, crosses, bas- ins, pyxee, ehrismatory, censors, cruets, etc. 'These have all disappeared, and in like manner the silver plate which form- ed a precious posseesion in every parish throughout the United ICIngdorn and Ire- land. In the last year of Xing Edward VI. Instructions were issued by tvhich all church plate was seized and confiscated, excepting one or two chalices, according to the population, •All the rest were seized for conversion to the King's use: No doubt some plecee were hidden away in their respective parishes; but at any rate when May came to the :throne all these precious relics, however presarved, catue intouse again, On Elizabeth comlng into the throne all tlae former prehibitions camp into force, and wo find inquiries in eacb parish whether they ' possessed "any prophane eups. bowls, dishes or chaitces heretofore used find episcopal enquiriee as to atAmlsesoeswee," whether in each parish "there was a fair and comely communion cup of silver, and a cover of silver for the same, whicb may serve also for the minietration or the communion bread."

POULTR,Y DISEASES AND REM.hYDIES, BY J. WESLEY GRIFFIN, IN` POULTRY FANCIER. It is unquestionably true that a large number of failures in poultry enter. prises are due diseetly' to diseaee and that these diseases are, as it rule, not of a contagious nature, but rather tile result of mismanagement, unskilled febd- ing and to little attention to general sanitation. Any system of feeding and care which does not Keep the fowls active, bright-eyed, of keen appetite, sleek in appearance and of herd flesh is fundamentally wrong. ' It is by careful housing, feeding alid management that the disease described in the following paragraphs may be pre- vented. One raust recognize that disettee le a sign that proner care end sanitation have not been practised, and must take immediate steps to rectify these con- ditions. The individual treatment of fowls is expensive and unsatisfactory, for after the fowl is cured it usually takes a little longer time to get her back into laying condition. The preventive naethod of treatment is the eaten, and most economical. For this reason importance ehould bo attached to sanitation. The pens should be thoroughly sprayed with a disinfeet- ittg solution or whitewaished three or four „times a year. It is advieable to spray the nest boxes and perenes fre- quently duriug warm weather. A� danger and death linger in demi) and filthy aectunulations, do not let t Ile drop- pings become damp and. filthy; °lean the dropping boards every other do, or at least twiee a. week. Sprinkle ashes or land plaiiter over the closet boarde and agaia over the drop- pings betweeu eleanings.

The formation of pus causes a 'swelling and wears away the theme until it breake forth either at the upper or 'ewer surface. A eeab forms over this opening, but the continued formation oi pes repeatedly forces open the wound. For treatment, remove the seab or lance the swollen area and thorottehly clean .end disinfect the cavity with a diluted solution of carbolic acid or hydro- gen peroxide. Keep the sore well greased with carbolated vaseline until healed. HEN TURKEYS BEST. The hen turkeys sell firet, and medium- sized careasses sell best in. market. The market turkey should be shorter in legs and neck than is ordinarily the ease, and very fall in the breast. A compact body, meat and fat, rather than m large size and cone° structure. FOR JEWISH HOLIDAYS. The quality of poultr,y for the Jewish holiday -trade must be better than at any other seasons. They prefer large, fat fowls, the larger the better. Those weighing eight or nine pounds are most desired. For the dressed poultry trade these are too heavy, four or five pounds being best. ane reason why the Jews wieh very fat poultry is that they use the geeaee in the Nage of lard, the latter being a product of /swine, which is forbidden food to them. LIQUID LICE KILLER. A good liquid lice killer is made by dissolving in ordivary kerosens all the crude napthaline flakes it will tike up. The solution is an esseellent lieinfeeiwieet for use about poultry honees as well as a lice killer. Used on the droppiug boards and roost, it Mill destroy and prevent red mites, null will alio kill dis- ease geniis and seeds of worms and other parasites. FAILURE IN POULTRY. Because there are failures with poultry is no argument that the busine8s is a failure. There are lots of people who never make a success of anything they undertake. Work out your own salva- tion, and never mind woat the eroakers have to say.

Then the hen may stir it up and you may eel' it for a etrittly fresh egg laid Whila you wait. STOPS COUGHO 'Ma'!1(5E(IfIllq BALL INVITATIONS.

Miss Whiting is requested to attend a Ball at Captain Pyn- chon's BALL ROOM on Friday evening next, at 6 o'clock, Gt. Barririgtot, Dec. 24, 1810.
