believed that for long keeping and much exposure good white oak is preferable fe stone and earthen jars and crocks crock sare are sometimes used but we do not recommend them we do not sympathize with the sentiment which prevails to some extent in nearly every farmei nir mers mera community in relation to tile the undesirability of middlemen or commission merchants but while we would not in any degree detract from their importance or their influence we would urge upon all those dairymen who are favorably situated to establish a direct communication with some consumer or line of consumers it

carbolic acid in the same way the disagreeable smell which glue often has may be prevented if a few drops of the solution bearded be added to ink or mucilage it will not mould for whitewash especially wb when en used in cellars and such blaces places the addition of one ounce of carbolic cid eld to each gallon will prevent mould and disagreeable odors if such be its effect it might probably be used

which land may be ameliorated and brought into good and condition for grain crops and then seeded down to grass the first is by growing roots with the help of manure to restore fertility and get rid of weeds which can be done tomosa to most advantage on fields already well worked and smoothed down by the action of the plough the other is by summer fallowing lowing fal the latter is often objected to as entail entailing Dg a loss of one years crop butchis but this is more in theory than in practice for there are fields on many farms that have remained in a state of rough pasturage yielding but little grass for years full of old stump roots cradle holes wild grasses antl anti weeds of every description that can be got rid of and the land brought i into a proper system of rotation by first giving th tam m a thorough summer fallow ing ling followed by fall wheat or barley as the crop on which to seed down with clover or grass canada farmer KEEPING CREAM next in importance to having milk perfectly pure and sweet and free from all animal odors pomes komes comes the matter of keeping the cream after it is taken off the milk in the first place the less milk there ls is with the cream at the time it is set in the cream jar the better A great deal oeal of carelessness is shown in this matter for be it known that milk makes cheese while the cream only makes butter and the more milk there is in the cream at churning time the more cheesy flavor ed edwall will ee be the butter and therefore the more likely to 0 o spoil afterward afterwards unless excessively halted salted really beally pure good butter requires very little salt while butter a as s ordinarily made madewell ma dewill will soon spoil unless well salted or kept covered in brine britie secondly the cream jar must beof the very best quality of stoneware stone ware thick glass would be still better and it must have a cover that wili wiil exclude all dust and ana insects thirdly the cream jar should be kept in a pice place where no or gases can be absorbed when the jar is open to add more cream and also where the temperature can be kept cool and equable say at about 60 idea and lastly the cream is to be made into butter as soon as it kust just begins to sour and when the jar is emptied it is to be thor thon outly cleaned ald and cadee in boiling water before being again used boston journal of chemistry CURRANT WINE we are asked for a reliable recipe for making currant wine not that it will tal taie tale take e rank with the wine from grapes but that our correspondent has somewhere tasted excellent currant wine and would now like to convert a part of a large crop into a delicious bev called currant wine we can co comply P wi with the request and ommer offer er a reci recipe e that will give the fullest lle lie ile st satisfaction to the experimenter pick the currants with the st stems s but allow not a leaf large or small to mix ix with them mash the currants in any way that can be lie done without mashing the seeds I 1 strain through a cleth which is best done in a common wine or cider pre press ss to each gallon of juice add two gallons of water and to each gallon of the mixed julee juice and water add three pounds rounds of clean white sugar to get all there is of juice from tho the mashed currants after the tho pressing soak the in water far for a few moments press again and use this acidulated water as ius so much clean water to be added to the first juice two gallons to one but with no further addition of sugar give the admixture a cool place in a keg or barr 1 filled nearly to the top fop but not to overflowing bunz buns tight but allow it vent for two or three weeks week when fermentation ceases stop the vent but not so tightly astol asto endanger the cask in casek case k a continued or renewed fa fer menta tion tiou and in six months it will bo be in prime condition we would remark that a goo good wine dwine can be made using only two and a ba half hair if pounds of sugar instead of 0 f three to each gallon of mixture but it will not be so strong in alcohol and its loog keeping is somewhat endangered dang ered tie the same rule is applicable to the juice of all other reid acid fruits for the making of the so called wines ex political events pinging ringing and to come the following political events are announced in eastern papers for the three
