Batter in Sacks.
A correspondent of (lie Rockfield
Register, writing from Olympir, W.
T., gives tins method used on the
Pacific coast for preserving butter:—
1 think the dairymen here have an
«rt in the management of butter th.it
might be turned to good necouiit in
the East, but which I never saw
practiced till I come to this cost. 1
alinde to the manner of putting up
bnttor for market. Perhaps neces-
sity was the mother of this invention
but that makes the invention none the
less valuable. Here such a thing as
a butter firkin or a s!one jar to pack
butter in is unknown; but all butter is
packed in mnslin sacks, made in such
a form thai the package, when com- .
plct«, is a cylinder'bree or fore inches Caress .pplicMion of ti whip

-I see in yonr February No: oé An
Cultivator, that yon want the beat
and cheapest method of sticking
peas: Lay of yonr rowa ia aides,
say from four to six feet in diameter,
make a hole in tbe centre, large
enough to admit of a good size black
jack or some other bush, that bas a
good many limbs on it. Be earetul
to have the bush strong enough to b^ar
up all the peas, that come tip iu the
circle; have the bush a convenient
height for gathering the peas; set np
small «witches near the peas so as to
enable the peas to take bold of the
bush. I think by trying the above;
you will jfidd it a cheap method~-a]so
easy gathering the peas. •
Injuries to the Horse that
may be Easily Avoided.—Many
horses are made vicious from cruel
treatment.
More horses fall from weariness
than any other canse.
When a horse falls he is more
trightened than his rider.
A frightened animal cannot use its
senses aright; it must first be reassur-
ed by gentle treatment.
It is speed that kills the horse.
Never strike an animal upon the
head.
from the churn, as soon as worked
vver. into the cylindrical hags, made
of fine bleached muslin. The pack-
ages arc then put into large casks
containing strong brine, with a slight
admixture of saltpetre, and by means
of weights kept always below the
surface. The cloth integument al-
ways protects the butter from any
impurities that may chance to come
in contact with the package, and
being always buried in brine that
protects it from tbe action of the air
and it has been ascertained by trial
that butter put up in this way will
keep sweet longer than any other
way. Besides, it is found easier and
cheaper for the manufacturer than to
pack cither in firkins or jars. And
for the retailer th«re is no telling the
advantage ou the score of safety and
convenience. These rolls of butter
can lie upon bis counter as safe from
injury, from dust or other contact, as
bars of lead—cau be rolled up in a
khcet of paper with as much propriety
as a buudle of matches. If the con-
f timer, when h« gets home, discovers
ppe-ks of dust upon the outside o i the
mck, he cau throw it iuto a pail of
cold water and take it out clean and
white. Aa he uses the butter from
day to day, with a sharp knife he
cuis it ofi'the end of the roll in slices
of thickness to suit his wants, peels
off the cloth from the end of tho slice,
leaving it in a tidy form to place
upon the table. This improved man-
ner of packing butter first caught my
eye ia the market of San Francisco,
where I saw cords of it piled up like
pigs of lead. The simplicity and
great value of the improvement so im-
pressed ma that I wondered the
Yankees hud not long ago found it out.
Sorghlm.—The culture of tbe
Chinese cane is rcceh ing consider
nWo attention in this section. This
is right—nothing grow a on a farm
makfs a better return.
The ior j: «'imputed question as to
whether sugar can be successfully
and profitably made from this cane
is pretty well settled in the affirm
ntive. ¡Several parties iu this eouu-
!\, last year, snc3eedt d in granula-
ting almost t-qn.il to the regular cane

Improving Garden Soil.—It
must not be iorgott>'n that every
plant, however small or feeble, take
some thing from the richness of lb
surrounding earth. In order, there-
in! ~, to keep up the fertility of the
garden without incurring annual ex-
pL use for fertilizers, it is well to have
an out 'jf-the-way comer where with-
ered plants, refuse vegetables, tl.;

things, may he thrown. This com

Sharpening Edge Tools.—The
Mark Lane Express copies the follow-
ing recipe for sharpening edge tools
from a German Scientific Journal, for
the benefit of farmers, mechanics and
laborers:
"It has long been known that the
simplest method of sharpening a
razor is to put it for half an hour in
water to which has been added one-
twentieth of its weight of muratic or
sulphuric acid, then lightly wipe it off,
and after a few hours set it on a hone.
The acid here supplies the place of-a
whet stone by corroding the whole
surface evenly, so that nothing further
than a smooth polish is necessary.
The process never injures good
blades, while badly hardened ones are
generally improved by it, although
the cause of improvement remains
unexplained.
"Of late this process has been ap-
plied to many o'her cutting imple-
ments. The workman, at the begin-
ning of his noonspell, or when he
leaves it in the evening, moistens the
blades of his tools with water acid-
u'ated as above, the cofct of which is
almost nothing. This saves the con-
cumption of time and labor in whet-
ting." _
Live Cattle Weighed by Meas-
ure.—The only instrument necessary
is a measure with feet and inch marks
upon it. The girth is the circum-
ference of the animal just behind the
boulder blades. The length is tbe
distance from the shoulder blades.
The superficial feet are obtained by
multiplying the girth and length.
The following table contains the rule
to ascertain the weight of the animal:
If less than a foot in girth, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
If less than three and more than
one multiply superficial feet by eleven
If less than five and more than
three, multiply superficial feet by
sixteen.
If less than seven and more than
five multiply superficial feet by
twenty-five.
It less than nine and more th«ui
seven, multiply superficial feet by
thirty-three.
It less than eleven and moj-e than
nine multiply superficial feet by
forty-two.
Example.'—Suppose a pig to meas-
ure in girth two feet, and length one
foot and nine inches; there would
then be three and a half feet, which
multiplied by eleven, gives tbirtv-
eighl and a half pounds a3 the weight
• f the aiiiumi when dressed. In this
way, the weight of the quarters can
be substantially ascertained dunn*
life.
