FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. PROPER WAT TO CHTJBJI. When the butter appear? in the churn in the form of small grains at large a* wheat, the churn is stopped, and cold water or brine is poured in to dilute the buttermilk and make it more easily separated from the butter. This is drawn off and more cold water is poured on the butter, the churn being slowly turned to wash the butter thoroughly. This is continued until the milk is com? pletely got rid of and the butter is clean. Then salt is mixed with the butter by revolving the churn, or strong brine is poured on, and the butter is at once put on the worktT and packed for sale.? American Dairyman. EHEEr Botaras, Greater attention to homing sheep in this country has led to ?conomies hardly thought of by our fathers. Uere is a bit of experience in this line that may help somebody. In tho last few years we have made a great improvement in our manner of housing sheep. We now have warm, comfortable sheds, covered mostly with plank. Wc find what Is called ship-lap makes an excellent covering; but it must be thoroughly seasoned be? fore it goes on. We make these sheds portable, so we can move them about once a year from one part of the field to another. By this means we fertilize the farm very rapidly. We find there is a great waste of manure when sheds are kept t?o long in one place. Let me des" cribe those sheds fully: We build them in sections of sixteen feet square. We put temporary braces in these sections to keep them from rocking, and move then with teams from one part of the field to another, a section at a timo. This farm that we are living on will support a third mure sheep now than it would twelve years ago. Our best pastures will carry ten sheep per acre all summer.?Ameri? can Farmer. TRAINING GRAPEVINES. Many different methods arc in use in the pruning and training of grapevines, and different results as to the quality of fruit produced and its freedom from disease are sometimes claimed as depend? ing on the position in which it is grown. I lately saw an instance, writes an Or? ange C'junty vintieulturist, where grapes growing on branches from the same main stem but supported in an en? tirely different manner exhibited such a marked difference in the amount of fruit borne on each as to attract my attention. The main vines were on the south side of a vertical latticed trellis, twelve feet or more in height, and were trained di? rectly upward to the top. Oa the op? posite side was a rough frarui; six feet high, six feet wide and about twelve feet long, of which only the top portion was latticed. Over this portion two or three branches from one of the main stems referred to had been traine.l, all lying horizontally along its top. Below the lattice bunches of grapes hung in abundance suspended from the vines, which with their foliage formed a com? plete canopy over the fruit. The thing about it which interested me most was the fact these horizontally trained vines showed fully five times as m iny buuehes of the grapes hanging below them through the openings in the lattice as could be seen on the same length or up right growing vines.?New York World. TARM AX!) GARDEN NOTE?. Don't think that because there is plenty of rain, the chickens do not need fresh drinking water twice each day. Don't let half a dozen broody hens set around on the nests and spoil eggs, but break them up and get them to laying. Don't wait till Thanksgiving to mar? ket your spring chickens, but sell thctn while the price is good, and before thsy ."cat their heads off." It is claimed that it is not so much the growth of fruit as the formation of seed which exhausts the tree, so by picking ofT from one-half to two-thirds of the fruit set, the tree can use its strength to form fruit bu Is in the fall for the next year's crop. It is even better to have too little than too much fruit on the trees.' Two enemies to cherry culture are bark baisting and black knot, but with pioper care neither of t'ue3e need be seri? ous. For bark bursting, train a low head, beginning not more than three feet from the ground, or else protect the trunk from the rays of the afternoon sun by a board fastened oa the southwest side of the tree. Professor Robertson, of Canada, says that in preparing corn for the silo, if you allow the stalks to wilt for a day after cutting you will have a delicious aroma. Cultivate close to the corn when young to admit the air, and loosen the soil so that the roots will spread, but when larger do not go so near or so dteep. This will make a difference of suveral tons to the acre. Make up your mind not to go another year without having hay caps enough to cover all the hay left in the field over night. Made of good, stout, unbleached cotton cloth two yards square, they need not cost more than twenty-flve cents each, and if properly cared for will last twenty years, and they will save their cost in one rain, and almost in protecting the hay from heavy dews.

How Gold Ore is Smelted. After the gold ore has reached tho smelter, being weighed, sampled and separated into piles for the various bins, each pile is pulverized in a machine that works upon the principle of a coffee mill, according to the Lead ville (.Col.) Herald. From this sample three or more paper sacks aro filled, of which two are sent to the assay office, one to be sampled, the other filed away. Tho third sack is sent to the shipper of the oro. Each sack is marked with the shipper's name, name of mine if given by shipper, lot number, car number, if any, and date when sam? pled. If the ore is very lumpy it is crushed before sampling. This unloading into a bin is continued until the bin is full, and it may hold anywhere from 500 to 3000 tons. When filled the superintendent obtains a list of all ores and weights of lots that have gone there, which consti? tute what is called a mixture. This list he takes to the assay office and gets an average assay on the silver, gold, lead, zinc, iroD, lime, etc., in order that he may know what to add in order to make a good smelting charge. Separate piles of lead and iron ore arc made to supply the furnace whea needed. The superin? tendent makes out a list of the different mixtures and the weight from each that are to constitute a furnace charge. About ??0 pounds of ore, 150 pounds lime, 200 pounds slag and 150 pounds of coke go to make up a charge. This is cf course varied in accordance with the character of the ore. Each furnace will treat from 160 to 200 tons of these charges in twenty-four hours. The lead in tbe mixture when treated in the furnace runs down into the bottom, carrying with it the precious metals. The slag being lighter floats on top of the lead, and is taken off through a tap hole. The lead or rather the bullion is dipped out of a well in tho side of the furnace and poured into moulds. After cooling the bars arc taken out and sampled, a hollow punch being used that brings out a small coie. It is usual for convenience to sample the bars in lots of 330 each. The punchings of each lot are assaye I to determine their contents. The bul? lion is now ready ft?r market or for further treatment. Humbug About Madston s. The raadstone story is going its rounds again. It is the property of this won? derful agent to stick to a raw surface of flesh and suck the poison out of it. That is, the owners say so. As a matter of fact, says the Brooklyn Eagle, no inor? ganic substance cao suck except by tho aid of machinery. Again, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the dog bites aro harmless and there is no poison to be sucked out. Thirdly, creiulity is one of the most effective cures in the materia medica and ought to be vised oftenor, where people have no disorder. Tho whole tradition of the madstono comes from the absorptive power of any an? hydrous mineral. Such a stone is filled with pores, and by a process akin to that of capillary attraction the water that it has lost?in the course of centuries, per? haps?it will soak up again when iu con? tact with liquid. If one wi?hcs to know the action of a madstone let him put a piece of tabashcer or dry clay or shale to his tongue. It will stick. That, is all there is to it. There are millions of tons of madstone in every State in the Union, and every family C3n afford to be with? out it. Theso stories of mysterious stones that have come from the far east or that were bought at enormous prices I from voodoos and hoodoos and wizards ! are all humbug. If a person is bitten by a snake or a dog it will do him no harm to clap a chip of anhydrous stone to the cut surface. It will stick, just as it will to his tongue or his eye or a damp saucer or a Brooklyn street or the surface of a bar, but let him likewise onsult a ' physician. Th3 Groat Cahokia Mound. Few people known that almost in sight of St. Louis stands the largest ar? tificial mound in Americi if not in the world. The Cahokia Monad is over seven hundred feet long by live hun? dred wide at the base and ninety feet high. It covers over eight acres of ground and has upwards of twenty mil? lion cubic fc?,t of contents. When one reflects on the low degree of civilization attained by the people who built this mound, and the inadequate tools, trans? portation and machinery employed, it ; was for the Indians a more stupendous undertaking than for us would be the building of another city like St. Louis. This mound is really a mountain, and every handful of earth it contains must have been carried thither in basket;. How long it took or why it was biilt at all are questions that will probably nerer be answered, but the stupendousness of the work cannot be calle 1 in question. ?Boston Transcript. The Tf xas Way ot Preurvlntj Milk. There are many ways of preserving milk so as to keep it sweet, but one of the most satisfactory is that which is at present practised at an establishment in Texas. Tie milk, fresh from the cow, is subjected to a boiling heat, and after all the air has been expelled from it the Clevare hermetically sealed. When the _?io*?[^/"s first invented, about fifteen years ago,, several dozen bottles were sealed up. Every year some of these are opened, aud after fifteen years' keeping tbe milk Los, in every case, been found perfectly fresh.?I?ew York Dispatch. WHIRLWINDS. CAUSKS OK AKItlAL DISTURB AM KOK VARIOUS KINDS. Zephyrs, Cyclones and Typhoons? i'lllnns of Sand and Water Created By tin; Wind ? A Striking Case. IIIRLWIND3 arc of all sizes ?from a few feet to a thousand miles across. When they arc small the whole ol the whirlwind can be seen at once, and the true character is apparent. Wheu they are large, for instance, 500 miles acwss and covering an area equal to that of several of the large States, the whirling character is not visible to a single observer. To him the wind feems to be straight lined, but changing gradually in direc? tion as the stcrm passes over. It is only when the observations of many persons, scattered over the whole area, are put on a map that the whirling character is visi? ble. Whirlwinds may also be of all degrees of intensity, from one producing agen, tic breeze to one producing heavy gales which will founder ships or uproot the heaviest trees. The natural whirls in the free nir are not of the nature of eddies, such as oc? cur at the street corners in a city on a windy day. These arc due to the meet? ing of two currents of air after passing an obstacle; they are stationary, or nearly so; depend on the speed and di? rection of the wind, and rarely do any more harm than that of carrying off a hat or turning an umbrella inside out. A truer type of the whirls that make 6torms arc the dust-whirls over a country road or in a hay field iu a hot, still summer afternoon. It will be interesting to give a brief account of the various members of this family of whirls in free air. Tumultuous or confused whirls, such as can be seen in the smoke from a factory chimney and which occasianally occur in nature, will be omitted; enly the pure whirls will be taken, though it must be remembered that where these are large they will be somewhat confused at the bottom, next the earth, where the observers arc ita tionctl, because of the topography. First come the dust whirls, h:iy geld whirl?, plowed field whirls and man) other small, well-lormcd ours occurring on hot afternoons. They are very pretty and interesting, and can be seen only when dust, light hay or something of the sort is carried up, or when the whirl Is carried over a field of timothy or of other grain, when the swaying of the ?talks shows the shape of the baie. Similar whirls from over the hot coffee cup at the breakfast table and over a kettle of hot writer, and may bo seen when the temperature of the room per? mits the steam to become visible. The air next the ground in the one place, or the hot liquid in the other, becomes hot? ter, and, therefore, lighter than the air above. It is a thin stratum and strives to rise. This it does for some reason (a projecting stone up which it creeps, tho flight of a bird, a bubhlc escaping from the liquid surface, and many other thiugs), at one point. The air drains through at this point rushes in from around, ami as it must generally rush in equally from the sides, because they are differently heated, or there is an ob? stacle, or the surface of tho ground is unequal, a whirl is set up, and the whirl once formed is likely to continue until worn out by friction. They occur only when the air is still, because when there is wind the air is constantly mixed and the hot stratum cannot form. Next come sand and desert whirls. These are like tho preceding, only larger, because formed on a largor field and un? der more favorable circumstances. They oocut in arid regions in hot weather. They may be anywhere from a rod to several rods in diameter and from twenty to 1000 feet high. They art; sometimes compound, a score or more of small whirls forming a whirling circle around a common centre. They arc very com? mon in India, where they have received the compliment of a book devoted to them. They sometimes carry up so much sand in the Sahara nntl Arabia n?. to overwhelm those on whom the sand is let fall. They also occur in the arid regions of the United States. The most striking caso I have ever seen was in the Magdalena Valley, across the mountains westward from Socorro, in New Mexico. There, during a hot day in summer, they incessantly form at the head of tho valley in a long, slender, vertical column, perhaps 600 feet high, and then travel down the valley toward the little vill-ge of Magdalena in the bottom of the valley, over which they sometimes burst, bringing to the inhab? itants little puffs of contrary winds and shower of fine dust. Then comes in a group of stationary whirls of the same general character as the preceding, but tied down to one point. Such are the whirls which some? times form over volcanoes, rendered visible by smoke and ash and the whirl? winds that sometimes form over confla? grations. The latter can often be seen when a large and compact fire is made in a space which is fairly free from ob? structions. So far the whirls mentioned have de? pended on heat alonf. They arc in some sort pure best engine?, and have no per? petuating power after the heat is with? drawn. They arc therefore limited to the hot part of tho day, or, in cts<> of volcanoes or fires, to the time the heat lasts. With the members in this family that follow another element is introduced, namely, the vapcr of water, and they arc not best engines, but steam cngiti ??. Tho vapor of water makes the ?tonn sell-perpetuating, and works in this way: It takes heat to mike vapor, and when the vapor is condensed the heat is given back. Cold condenses the vapor, and the condensation of the vapor warms the air. Now, the air contains always more or less invisible vapor of water Or mois W ture, and this is th I most abundant the ground. Suppose a mass of air it cools by expansion as it ascends, cooling condonscs some of the vapoi air is made warmer than its rurroum and it again rises. More moisti condensed; more heat given tip; th is again warmed; it again rises, an on until this source of heat is used With plenty of vapor present the rises to a greater height than whet air is dry?and not only that, tho a drawn in at the sides to replace the ing air. This rises, condenses its m ure, rises again, and so on. And is formed a regular vortex, which is perpetuating so long as moist air p in Irom below. These whirls are, s speak, half brothers of the preceJ They have a mother (steam), of a b conslitution, and have, consequentl greater cx?>ectation of life. The first of these is what is calk "general storm'' or "low" or ' area." or "area of depression," what the meteorologists would liki call "cyclone," but tho public insist applying that namo to tornadoes, "low" is a curiously shaped vortex thin disk of air, perhaps 500 n across and a mile or two thick, in wl the air is pouring in on tbe lower sur and rising around the centre, and p< inyitnlong the upper surface. The "low," as described above, i phenomenon of temperature latilu When these whirls originate in tropics they have a different path much greater intensity; they are t the hurricanes of the North Atlantic the typhoons of the Indian Ocean China Sea. They also occur in the South Pai when they are also called typhoons.

A Fisherman Hooks a Whale. William Carson is high line nmor the fishermen of this county for thi season. He was out on one of tho tu; one week ago Saturday, and with th crew of the tug was engaged in takia halibut on the banks about three milt west of the bar. After catching a forij pound halibut, several small ones and few soles, Mr. Carson hooked somcthin that "walked" away with his line in steady manner. He called for assis tance, and with the captain and one o the tug's crew the ratait was the same the line Steadily walking away from thre of them. A turn was then taken aroun? one of the bits, when as the strain in creased it was sccu that the tug wa swinging to the stiain, and the line n the same time appeared to be moving to ward the surface.

With I sudden lurch of the tug the line parted near the bit to which it was fastened and went flying through the air in the direction of the whale. The whale stayed clpsc around the tug for a couple ol hours and was struck with chunks ol coal and shot at, to which ho paid no attention whatever.

Tbe peculiar propen? sity of the plant is attributed to the fact that both surfaces of its leaves display on equal receptivity for light (whereas the upper surfaces of the leaves of most plants arc more sensitive to light than the lower), the leaves thus assume a ver? tical position and point north and south.

A lady who has the good fortune to be a friend of Doctor Oliver Wen? dell Holmes relates a little anecdote of the first time she asked a favor from him as an author. She had Just completed a book for children, and Doctor Holmes kindly consented to read the manuscript. When It was returned to her after his perusal she naturally looked it over with oagerne.ss and anxiety, In hasle to sec what criticisms or cor? rections her distinguished friend had made. She turned page after page, bol found no erasure, mark nor mar? ginal note, until at length, nearly at the end of the story, she camo to a single neatly penciled line In Dr. Holmes' fine handwriting. It was placed against I passage upon which she had rather prided herself, a vivid description of the picnic feast of a group of children In a grove. First reading the paragraph to see if she herself could find anything amiss, she next read what he had written. It was this: "1 Kiri't let those children eat pickles:" Much relieved to find that It was the doctor, not the author, who found fault with her work, the lady at once drew a line through the offending* viands, and when the story of the picnic appeared in print, pickles were omitted from the bill of fare.?
