Fifteen Rules if Followed Will Prodstee Good and Satisfactory Results for the Farmer -The Necessity of Packing in Clean. Tidy Packages. At this season of the year nearly all the cheese -factories have closed, and farmers will have a much larger supply of milk to look after and manufacture into butter at home. A few suggestions at this stage, as to- the best methods of handling this Milk and converting it into butter, may be timely aud helpful. 1. The cows should be kept in the stables as soon as the cool weather begins, and given good nourishing food. 2. Have the stables well ventilated, so that the atmosphere for milking in will be pure and wholesome. 8.As soon as the milking is done, the milli should not be left standing in the stable or where the air is impure, as it will readily take in bad odors which will affect the quality of the butter. 4. As soon as the milking is done, or when the milk, is it Jeormal heat, 98°, it should be set for the cream to rise. If the milk has had tine to cool it should be heated to the proper temperature be- fore setting. As the cool weather ad- vances, ten per cent. of hot water from 1500 to 190° may. be added to advantage. It will have the double effect of heating the milk before setting, as well as !acili- tiding the upward movements of the globules of butterfat. 5. Shot -gun cans are now, generally used for setting the milk in; and should be placed in cold water, about 45° or 50°, as,sbon as the warm milk is Put in. In the cold. frosty weather better results will be obtained by setting the milk in shallow pans, and Placing them in cold water the same as With the creamers. 6. Twenty-four hours is sufficient time in which to allow the cream to rise. If the conditions are favorable all the cream will be on top at the expiration of this time. 7. The cream should be taken off when it is sweet, and kept in a cool place. Every time fresh cream is • added the whole lot should be stirred and' mixed thoroughly. 8. One day before the churning is to be done, about 8 per cent. of sour cream or sour skim -milk should be added to the cream, and the whole mixed thorough- ly, and kept at a temperature Of 600, when after twenty-four hours the whole lot will be slighly tart and ready for churning. If about 25 per cent. of pure water is mixed with the cream when sweet, good results will be obtained. 9. The best temperature for churning during the late fall and winter is from 62° to 64P Fahr. ' 10. When the particles of butter are like clover seed, the buttermilk should be drawn off and pure water at 559 add- ed in its place. 11. The churning should then be con- tinued for a minute or two, w,hen the milk will be washed free from the but- ter. The milky water inky then be drawn off and a weak brine added at 55°. 12. After a minute's churning the but- ter may be left to drain half an hour before it is removed to be pressed and salted. 13. For immediate consumption three- quarters of an- ounce of pure salt of medium fineness will be suflicient, and for packed butter. one ounce to the pound. " 14. While the salt is being added the butter should be kept cool and should not be worked any. more than is sufficient to get the salt thoroughly mixed. The butter should be kept cool till the salt is dissolved, when it may be worked a sea- ond time to get rid of any: streakiness that may be in it. 15. In getting butter treacly for the market, particular care should be given to have it put up as neatly and clean as possible, whether it be in prints or in tubs. Parchment paper to wrap around the prints or put on top of the tub will be a good investment. Nothing is more attraotive to the con- sumer than tidy, clean packages of buit 'ter, while on the other hand, can any, - thing be more repulsive to a person who has to eat it, than butter done,up in la slovenly, dirty manner? If the manu- facturers of dairy butter would give more attention to the little details which affeot the quality and appearance of butter, they would realize a more ready sale for their goods and be able to re- tain their customers. NOTICE I have everything in good running order for start ng Wednesday, September 10th, I will also make -pple jelly and apple butter. 1 hope to see all my old customers and se many new ones as will favor me with a call Sealed!'

Meantime Amos Cruickshank, of Sit- tyton, Scotlatid, went on 'building up I.a herd of Shorthorns, which have upset many oft he old theories. • In selecting foundation stock for his • herd, Cruick- shank was influenced by clear, hard- headed Scottish sense. If a Shorthorn bull or cow was pure-bred and possessed the qualities desired, hedid not ask whether it was of any fancy_strain. The result was a herd • which was one of the inost notable -in Shorthorn history. RO- presentatiVes of the Sittyton herd not only won the prizes in British exhibitions, but were sent t� the United States, to South .Africa, in fact, throughout the "Greater viviiich extends around tbb In building up his Shorthorn herd, .

Waxing warm and enthusiastic he says : • "Mary, I was an awful fool when I ran off in a pet and left you,' have regretted it all my life. Although I married and ?aid a good wife and an interestirig family,1 want to tell you the truth, and I want )0a to believe me. Mt.ry—honor bright—yee were never' from my thought,. Vi1.111 you believe me, Mary? I never loved another woman than your own dear self." "John," said Mary,with a merry twinkle of mischief in her eye, "I see that you are just us gtaat- a lar as you used to b'." At a public demonetratiun ip an Ontario to wri, gave the above aneedete to illuetre,te the advanced relatiun of temperance- elect ors to the profesdional politiciaus who whivi per sweet praises in the dare, of friends of the cause at election times but forget them all when the election is 'over. They have foaled no in the past, but when they come. t� fool us 'again we will surely be as well pre- pared as Mary, to tell them that they are just as big liars as they used tobe. Whisper- ings of love will no longer answer. Nothing short of an open, frank espousal of the cause that will bring losses as well as gains, will assure temperance. electors of the sin- cerity of professedprohibition candidates. The recital of the story &retread in the audience very much more than the usual merriment, and when the climax came there was s veritable explosion of laughter and applause, which was renewed again and again, seriously distracting- the interest from my address. It was evident that there was much more than the mere story on the minds of the people, and I ivies somewhat worried unless some slip of :the tongue on my part had given cause for redouble mean- ing. When the meeting was over the people gethered in groups to laugh, and the chair- man, is cleggyrnan, said: "I hope that story of yours will not knock me out of & pros- pective engagement." 1> Before he could ex- plain, my host, his face wreathed in smiles, hustled one into his carriage and drove off. " What does all this mean ?" I interro- gated. " Who put you up to tell that etory ?" he replied. "Why, it is is story I bare used many times." "Well," said he, "if it is a mere coincidence it is a remark- able one. If you had looked straight ahead of you, near the baok of the audit- orium, you would have seen John and Mary, the widower and widow, with 'serious add crimson faces, while all other.- were convulsed with leughter. Only two weeks ago John came back from California, where he has lived nearly -twenty yore., He came to see the folks,- he said; but the general opinion was that he came to see Mary, who was his lover before he went away, and and whose husband died about a year ago. He has been driving her about the country and rowing her about the bay, and taking her to every place of amusement and public gathering, until they are talk of the town.

"Indeed," replied the merchant," relent- ing. " Are you much hurt ?" "Principally, sir, in your estimation," answered the clerk, respectfully, "Oh, never mind that," said the merch- ant, kindly, "1 am very sorry and had no intention to be severe. We are all liable to accidents. How did you get the fall ?" "Well, you see, sir, said the clerk, con- fidently, "1 was called quite early this morning—earlier, in fact, than usual.' "Ah I" "Yes, ; but somehow or other I fell asleep again."

In one there is music and dancing and mirth, Gay guests, owere and perfume, and beauty and wit, The table is spread with the dainties of earth, And wine circles freely with many a toast For the health and the happiness of the young wife. Amid loving friends and all wealth can procure, Fair bride, surel) happy must be thy gay life. All lowly and humble the other home stands, No guests are within and no music is there, Save the tea -kettle's 'Jong with its welcoming cheer, As the.bappy young bride, none more sweet or more fair, In perfect content, but with half -bashful grace, Prepares the tea -table ; but ere their first meal, They ask that God's blessing may rest on their home And that they His presence forever may feel. Two souls have been born Into thie changeful world, The mansion again has rejoicing and glee, For in honor of hill) the young heir of the Mese, The father has given a banquet, and he, The sweet babe, is brought in, and to his baby lips The red cup is held, as they drink to his health,. 0, bright babe of luxury, what will time bring To thy lot, beside what thou now haat, loveand wealth The other babe comes to a small, modest home, No eider -down pillows, rich robes or fine lace Await his arrival ; no banquet is given To wish him swoon as he starts in life's rave; Buta mother's own Angers have fashioned his robes, And into each garment have stitched hopes and prayers - Fond hopes for the future and prayers that the child Unharmed may pass through life's tem tatioes and (Wes. Many years have gone by, and the mansion is dark, Exceptin one room where the lights 'burning low, Show a bier and s coffin, the son dead wOthin, At a drunken carousal struck down by a blow From his own father's hand; and the Mother, with gaze Fixed steadily on the dead face of her child, Keeps her watch through the night, and the first morning light Ldoks in on the dead snd the maniac twild. It is evening, and softly the moonlight shines down Os a mother who leans on the arrn of her son. Glad tears 011 her eyes, and sweet peace fills her heart, For her prayers have been answered, a groat work Led by father's example and mother's wise love, To know 'what is wrong, and to love right and truth, The child whom they gave to the Lord at big birth, Hae devoted to God all his talents and youth, And has just been ordained to proclaim the Great King, And the mother now feels more than ;ever before That all peace and prosperity truly are them And come weal or come woe, all is right evermore.
