The Parm and’Household. CONDUCTED. BY JONATHAN SIMMONS. T Cheese Factorfes. A practical cheese mapufacturer at the East gives the following suggestions in the Maine Farmer concernipg these insti tutions:- In opening a cheese factory it is very, essex;tial thut they should be starts .ed upon right ptiuciples ; and the respousibility rests with them. The mauufactu rer should. be beld .responeible for the proper manipulation of the milk and curd, and the care of the-cheese, and that is all that cun be imposed upon him. It is' impossible’ for any manufacturer to make a good article of cheese from im« pure, tainted or sour mild. Unless patrons exercise the utmost, the probabilities are that the cheese will be:below par, and, as & matter .of necessity, all the blame must tall upon the manufacturer, Among some of the causes of poor cheese I may mention: ; 1. Unclean milk. See .that the cows bave aclean, dry place to lay, careful bands to milk and have the milk trained bOD ias 5 ; : §

2. Diseased milk. = Cheese makersare many times sorely puzzled with curds act ing strangely, and which, despite their best efforts, only result in' an almost worthless cheese.- The difficulty i often caused by unbealthy milk, which some patron has seut in -~ Io this way the milk from ‘one cow may spoil §76 worth of cheese. ) ' 3 Cows sometimes eat ohjertionable weeds which give a bad flavor to the milk, and also to the cheese. Forseveral we ks during the drought; in the summer of 1871, it wus very « fleusive to stand over a vat of curd during the cooking process, due mainly to cows eating weeds from the wonds ané dronking impure water; yet the consumers weula wonde what the wanufactarer bad done to give the'cheege sach wn anpleasane flivor, 4 No milk is good that comes froou cows dvgged or over diiven from tie pastore U the stable luithis case theie is not only a tulling . ff 10 quality acalvo i quantiiy, $0 patrobs are thereby e Ehc:mry 1 sers di ect y, while the wh.le .compnny loses in repucation. We must learn that cows with full udders cannot be raced with impunity, uwou that dogs are w nuisance on a dairy furm We mny remark in this coonection that the practice of scolding and knocking the ews about by incompetent and brutal milkers is not ooly an act of cruglry and very bad policy pecupiarly to the dairymen, but it also adds Its mite to the injury of the milk. ot 5. No milk is gond which 'is madc from filthy, stagnaut water Of :longn aod frog yard. This needs no comment. : " ; 5 6. Failure to removenatural heat from: milk. A whole article might te written ‘on this point. Patrons must exercise the utmost: care with their night’s milk, set ting it in water (ruoning if possibie) over night with the cover partly off; the cans two-thirds tull, and the water nbove the milk. Empty together in the morn ing, filling all the cans, and strain the morning’s milk by itself. Sct o water with the cover off until it starts. Milk should pot be left over might in baruvs, stables or bouse cellars. - The question bas ofcen been asked 'me, “Is there any barm. iu. feeding whey to milch cows ?” I have always used my influence agarnst this practice, but bave not until lately seen any autbority. Mr. X A. Willard, doubtless the best authority 1o the United States, in a long editorial in Moore's Rural New Yorker, makes a strong argument against the practice, both as muking the milk very poor and also as impairing the health ot the cows. He gives the analysis of whey as follows : — ‘Water, 93.12; butter, .35; casein, .47; als bumen, .38; milk sugar, 4.54; lactic acid, .45; ash; .69, Total, 100, : The butter is taken off before feeding, leaving only the caséin which can in any way enter the composition of the cheese ; so it will be secn that feeding cows with whey is only.a sly way ot watering milk, and should be treated as such. : {

Different Breeds of Lonug Wool Sheep. The. Leicesters are usually placed at the head of the long wool brecds as béing ‘the finest in form ﬂgﬁ fleece, and also bes cause 1t has been largely used in crossing, for-the improvement of the other vaiieties. -The head is hornless, and rather long and narrow ; ears thin with spots of ~bluish tinge. The long, low,well-cut ear of the pure Leicester, with its sprightly backward loclination, is a distinguishing characteristic of the breed, as is also the tull prominent eye, with quiet and lively | expression. The face and forehead must | be bare of wool, though covered with a | fine coat of hair, white, with a little juclination to the dluish tint. The bodyg s straight, with ribs well sprung and bur | rel- shaped; the pelt inclined to be thin ;| the wool exceedingly soft, fine and lus | trous, and ehould vbe uniform over the carcass. The extremities—muzzle and legs—are exceedingly fine, but the quar-| ters are full and wide, with broad vack! and level, Indeed, the carcass of the true Leicester sheep is s pear perfcetion inl form as can be conceived possivle. | The Cotswood, thougn of late years modified by crosses of the Luicester blood, and therefore strongly resembling that bréed, is somewhat coarser and louger in carcags’; with a heavier fleece,which| stiould be as lustrous; though not so fine, as the Lefcester, The bead is'larger, and must have atuft of wool on the torenead, which the Leicester pever has. ! ! ‘The Lincoln isas large as the Cotswold thotgh in other respects, a 8 now bred, very strongly resembles the Leicester'— The heud is long, the face narrow and bare of wool, with. white. fine hair, and bluish tint, a 8 in the Leicester, They stand rather bigher on the'leg tban the two varieties before mentioned, and the carpet is apt to be lesssymetrical; but the fleece 18 longer and beavier, and though not 8o fine as the Leicester, is unsurpassed in luster, and therefore commands the best prices in the markets. It is diflicult to describe animals 80 as to tzll the pure breed from the mongrel ; indeed, the best judges nre not always able to detect the presence of a slight dash of inferior blood. One thing the producer may rely upon is ~that long wool sheep peddled sbout the country at low prices dre néver pure bred, Indeed, blooded stock of all sorts should be purchased of parties that are known reputable breeders—this is the only relia‘ble security the purchaser. can-have that| the animal purchased will turn out what it is represented to be. : i Fhe Southdown sheep has a broad, rather short, thong}h exoeedoi:;;li neat head ;| forehead covered with wool, and the face’ and legs with grey or brown hair. The| fleece 18 rather short,of good felting qual. ity, equal to half-blood Merino, but superior for flannel, &c., and should be solid| and compact, and of uniform quality throughoat, without projecting hairs.— The carcass should be straight,with well~ sprung ribs and broad, level back, having wide quarters, deep flank and well-pack« ed twist, This being held in higher es«| teem than any other breed for the pro- | duction of superior mutton, the full and | perfect development of carcass is deemed | of the highest, importance. ‘; The Hampshire Downs are coarser in | form and fleece, with black face and legs. | - The Sropshire Downs are a cross be- | tween the South Downs and Long Wools | —=a large brﬁ, with long, coprse wool, in form resembling the Cotswolds, with | black face and legs. ’ -In regard to this matter of the color of the ﬁmpad legs, it is remarkable that. while the Southdowns, which stand at the head of all these varieties, have, as be fore ooserved, brown -or grey colors in these parts—their crossesin other breeds” l::glll. freqnantly"lohqw‘f black faces and When the object is to kegp a small ﬂocﬂhfq&:ﬁétﬁo. *"ini!‘d ET tﬁ‘ki:%ptiqu’ grgpi}

- New Remedies for Insects. i | The tollowing valusbie remedies for in isvets are furnished by Cbarles R. Duodge, [Assistant Eutomologist of Department ol |Agricuiture, nnd also the entomologica) wditor of The Rural Carolinian. Tbey lure recommended as simple and reliable : | Pear Slugs.—This insect, which some {times plays such sad bavoe with the foli. lnge ot plum and cberry trees, may be deistroyed by frequent applications of a mix lture of lime, soap and soap suds by means lof a gardensyringe. Tne mixture is made Iby aadivg two gallons of culd water, oue ibushel of soot and balf a peck of unslackled lime, aliowing it to stand one day.to |settle, after which is added one pound) ot | soft goup dissolved in wurm water. | | The White Grub.— This destructive in | sect, producing in this country the May beetle (Lachnosterna), and in Europe the beetle known by tbe common name of “vockcbafer,” is well known to many of our readers through thé damage it does to pastores and grass lands. Their mode of warfare is to devour the roots of the grass, causing the sod to die out’in spots, and it is said that simply applying to the af. fected places water, in which petroleum has been stirred, will exterminate -them. It is also recommended to keep down insects on plants. The small quantity .of petroleum secms to impart its disagreeable properties to a large amount of water, and applied in this wanner the plants are uninjured.. ° i _ Mealy bug. — The follcwing Temedys tried upon grape vines (under glass) in Kellermont gardens, Glasgow, was a com plete success. The vines which were badly uff.cted were taken down, the loose bark scraped off, after which the back walls of the house were given two coatings of lime wash and glue, addicg half a pint of turpentine to each gallon of the mixture.— ‘The rafters ard glass were also. given at intervals tbhree washings of turpentine,’ and finally the vines themselves were given a good coating of the following mixture: Three ounces of soft soap, three ounces flower of sulphur, one pint tobacco water, two wineglassfule ot turpentioe, one gallon of hot water, and clay enough to give it the consistencv of paint. The result, with a top dressing of loam and horse dung, wuas healthy vioes, and a fair crop of grapes, clean and free from mealy bug. vt

Clover Management, It is sometimes objected to clover that it is ton coarse us & teed —this being the case where it is grown on strong ground, making a large stalk. This can be remedied by sowing thick, and thus getting a fine-stemmed crop, also shorter in leogth, ‘ the staliks varying from fifteen to twenty inches, according to ‘the quality of the ‘land, the season, and whether plaster has been used. But the point is, to sow thick —from ten to twelve quarts per acre, evenly scattcred on'even, mellow soil, and .brushed in if sown withrspring grain, This forms a close growth, and must be cut before it lodges much, and this 18 generally about ths time of: flowing. Else, if lodged badly, and permitted to remain ! 8o for some time, it will partially rot'and lose much of its quality us a feed. But hiarvested in time and well cured, there - will be no deterioration of thehigh value which this plant has obtained among our best dairymen. Three tons per acre may be thns realized ; and if the season is a good orne, the amount may be doubled by two cuttings; and clover should always be cut twice, each time.at about the blos< soming period. We prefer the medium slze or June clover, a 8 it is earlier and finer stemmed than the large kind, and less apt to lodge, and always permits of two cuttings. On poor land clover may be grown successfully, improving the land. ‘But it may be raised on the rich est of land, with the most gratifying re: sults; only get it close so as to have it fine-stemmed, and cut itin time L » | e s About Salads. : There are bug tew dishes placed upon any table that give a better relish to a meal, frugal or sumptuous, than a nicely made salad. Almost every housewife has, or with a little care may bave, ccustantly at hand the ingredients for these palata. ble dishes. They are not only delicious but healthful in their efféct upon the system., Many vegetablcs contain potash, sud when they can be eaten raw they are excellent antiscorbutic food. Boiling them would remove the potash ; thus their principle virtue would be lost. In spring and summer cos lettuce, mustard and cress, and radishes form the staple: in phe auguh;n endive and cabbage lgtt'uée predominate. . L Nothing spoils & salad so much, both in appearance and flavor,as cuttiog it up too fine. Every atom should maintain its Individuality. Radishes cannot be cut up too fine, but the slices should be in rings, apd not dice shape. Opions must remain a matter of taste, but not 8o as to mint.— Every salad should contain from three to six leaves of young mint, as it greatly ns gists digestion. Nosalad can be properly made without one or two bnﬂedbtlaggs.'be cause the yo kqu_nm&g; sary to blend.the. oi%f%!li}ﬂ&e%'ﬁf “be made thos: Boil tmo eggs.gaite hatd; wheo, done ‘ take them oggg of the saucepan and put

Now add graduslly, a litile ata time, the vinegar, in quantity about twice as much ‘as the oil uged ; lastly, put in pepper, salt and readymixed mustard, the latter but little; but on no account use mustard that bas not been previously mixed with water, A little tarragon vin egar, used scantily, improves every salad. It is very essential to mix the ingredients io the order laid down as above. When this is carefully done, an excellent salad will be the result—soft, yet aromatic; creamy, but not greasy, , o

' Culture of Melons, Eo Melons can be grown socheaply that every family should have at least a small patch devoted to ther culture, and they will be found a decided addition to their bill of fare in summer and autumn. There is nothing more inviting than a cool, rich ripe watermelon, or & jucy, toothsome green fleshed muekmelon when one comes trom the harvest fields thirsty, tired and exhausted with the morning's labor As soon as the soil 18 warm enough the seeds can be planted, and the soil for each hill should, unless the ground is dark and rich, be mixed with a forktul of old de composed horse mapure. Then drop five or six seeds into a hill, and cover them about ap inch with soil. Scatter a handfu! of wood ‘ashes, plaster v bone dust upon the top. of the seeds to kerp away the bugs.

All viges grow aud froit mach m re luxuriantly if they are frequently hoed, and it should be continued until they commence to bloom well, and cover the gronnd with their thrifty shoots. Varieties.—The chief variety of watermelon grown is the Mountain Sweet, which is thought to equal, if not to excel, all others in size, quality and productiveness. The Persian watermelon was introducs ed by Bayard Taylor, from the shores of the. Cuspian Sea, and it processes a deli cious flavor, while Its rind is only balf an, inch thick. If taken off from the vine hefore it is ripe it will keep far into the winter. :

The Russian American is a hybrid mel on produced from tbe Persian and the Mountain’ Sweet, and it is unsurpassed in size, sweetness and crispness of flesh by any other variety. It ripens tk:ree weeks later than the Mountain Sweet, and is-in= variably solid, while the rind is very narnow. . . ; Japanese Cream~Fleshed is an entirely mew variety, with & very thin rind, and its flesh is'of a light lemon color, while the seeds are mottled, white and black.— [ts flavor is most delicious, its flesh very golid and sweet, and it bears profusely, and keeps well. I have tasted these melons on the plains of Nebraska,’and can vouch for their superiority—nq' garden should be without them. : : Muskmelons yearly increase. in flavor or in size. Sill's Hybrid is a new variety, with salmon colored flesh;-it is early, very sweet, and of a fine flavor, it should, always be cultivated in preference to any other bright fleshed variety. - The green-fleshed varietiesare; however, ' much the most desirable for home or market culture. The Hackensack is the vari ‘ ety most raised for the New York mar“ket, It is of & large size, bears well, and is in every way desirable. . | ~ Skillman’s fine netted is the earliest of “ull the green-fleshed melons; its flesh is - very sugary, firm and thick, and of a fine flavor. Satten’s Tom Thumb mlon is the smallest variety grown, and also the bandsomest, as it is marked like a pomcgran’ ate, with alternate stripes of claret color and orange. It flesh is green and very juey: Its fruits plentifully. . Alton nutmeg melon -is a large and | very productive froit of good quality, and has found much fuvor throughout the West. G : Allen's superb is a green fieshed melon, very sweet, and of a delicious flavor, | By a careful selection of seeds all varie~ ties can be much improved in the space of two or three years, : There are many persons who thiok that melons are unwholesome, during the heated term; but there really is no more wholesowe fruit., They should, however, be eaten fresh, and tully ripe, and then tbey will make a most agreeable addition to the breakfast and dinner table of every family in the United States. | oy e A How to Move Fruit Trees. Dig the boles in which they ure to be placed before taking them up, being sure to have the holes large * enough. Dig trenches around all the trees to be taken -up, leaving a mound of earth about four. feet in diameter about the trees, and digging the trenches deep enough to go be low most of the roots. Then with spade, or, better,with dung fork or pronged hoe, remove most of the mound thusleft, leaving the roots as little injured as possible. Finpally cut under the mound, leaving as much earth as can be left and leave it possible to handle the tree. The trees, if not too large, may be lifted out by put~ ting a coffee sack under the ball and lifting it by two or four men at the corners, It can be most easily loaded upon & sled or stone boat, but if not too heavy can be put in an ordinary wagon. There should be plenty of old damp straw at hand to put about the roots while transplanting, and care must be taken not to bruise the bark of limbs and trunk while hauling. The planing is not difficul; we would shorten the limbs somewhat, unless we succeeded in saving nearly all the roots, and it will be well to mound up the trees and perhaps to stake and tie them up to prevent 'lenin% : The special facts in hand will modify the above instructions. The cardinal points are—plenty of roots, the roots kept: moist, no bruising of bark, good plenting. - : . ¥Profit of Timothy Seed. g « Last season we saved about five acres of grass for seed. Some of our neighbors laughed at us—they said we were ?oolish i when hay was so high. But we madeal. most double w' at we would if we had cut it tor hay. There would not have been more than four tons at the most, and the hay wounld have fetched only $l6 a ton, which would have béen $65 for the hay. Well there was two tons of straw, jwb!&_ brought $1250 per ton—s 26 for the straw : there were 24 bushels: of seed, which bronﬁt $38.50 per bushel —sB4 for the seed ; add $25, which would be $lO9.

Colored Dresses. | The BBcientific American says it is not often that we find scientific itéms of any especial degree of interest to the members of the fair'sex who may, perchance, glance over our pages ;- but now we believe' we! have got one which is simply absorbing. Probably, Madame or Mijss, you are the possessor of & summér dress, made from some diaphanous material; and it may al--80 be imagined that during your shop‘ping you have inspected gonds of similar. nature, only of varying colors, from which. you have purchased sufficient material to construct a number of those bewildering /garments, in comparison with the intrica cies of which the mbst eleborate works of modern engineering furnish no parallel, Now, a learned German professor has in;vented a plan whereby your single white dress may be changed as often a 8 you desire to any color you may fancy, and this /in your own laundry, so tbat hereafterthe .mopey which you would devote toseveral ‘robes of varying hues may be entirely savs ed, while you may appear daily, it you ‘chooee, in toilets ot totally different com plexion. The process is very sitple, and consists in merely coloring the starch used in the “doing up.” Suppose a white dress is to be tinted a beautiful crimson : three parts of fuchsin, an analine color which: acy chemist can readily procure for you, are dissolved intwenty parts of glycerine, and miXed in a mortar with a little water. Tben ordinary starch, finally pulverized, is stirred in, and the thick mass obteined is poured out and dried on blot: ting paper. The powder thus obtained is used just the same as common starch, and so applied to the fabric.. When the latter - is dry it is slightly sprinkled and pressed with a moderately warm iron. - By means of other coloring materials, wixed as above doscribed,any desired tint way be obtaived. ' Wie ghould connsel, howerer, an avoidance of damp locnlitivs, and ~trougly depieente geing out in tie rwin, w 8 we doubt the “fastness” of the dye and wouid not be at sl surprised .o vetold the garment ghortly assume a rather strenked and zebrasitke appearance

Who Fired Columbia? The Chicngr Tridbune uns u dispatch tiom \Vu!xllé&uu which says: Tue ques fon sy to.whether Coluwbia, 8.

Most of the cotton dess t oyed, it is excliimed, belorged to Brit..b sunjeets, vud the aforesnid suljects are snxious to koow who is responsibie for Its destruction, A recent pubkicition of the testimony of Gens. Wade Hnwmptoo and Beanregaro taken before the Brivish dud Amerrican Mixed Claims Comfmisions, has culled forth the testitwony of Geos, Suerman, Howard and Logan, all of whow were present at the time Columbia was fired. [here is a marked. disgreement between the evidence of the Confederate and the Unioa officers, and. from present appearances the Commission will have a lively time'getting at the fucts. Hampton and Beauregard swear that Sherman’s “bummers,” as they were called fired the town, beginning with the cotton which was piled up in the streets. Ou the other baod, Sherman, Howard and Logan all concur in saving that the town was blazing when the Union army approachead it. Their theory is that it was fired by the retreating Confederates. If the fuct can be established that Sherman’s army appli ed the toich, of course the Government becomes responsible for the cotton destroyed, which will amount, it is said, to several millions of dollars. General Sherman is very postive in his testimony, and so also are Howard and Logan,— The Britishes who are to be henefited are rather anxious to believe Wade Hampton and Beauregard. The weight of the ev~ idence, however, is decededly against them. . g : !

" A Touching Incident. [From the Covington (Ky,) Journal.] - - A short time since, in this city, a brilliant.and much admired lady, who had been soffering for some time with a trou ble of the eyes, was led to fear a speedy change for the worse, and immediately consulted her stician. * An examina. tion discovered'a sudden and fatal failing in the optic nerve, and the imformation imparted ss gently as possible, that the patient could not retain ber sight more than a few days at most,and was liable to bg deprived ot it at any moment. The afflicted mother returned home, quietly made such arrangements as would ocenr to one about to commence so dark a journey ot life, and then had her two littie children, attired 1n their brightest and sweetest costumes, brought before her; and so, with their little. faces lifted to bers; and tears gathering for some great misfortune that they bardly realized, the light faded out »f the mother’s eyes, leaving an in:ffuceable picture of thcse dear. est to iier on earth—a memory of bright faces that will coasole hér in many'a dark hour,

A Specific for Cerebro-Spinal Menin. 5 “‘i'f ~ A correspondent of the Freeport (IIL) Bulletin pronounces what is now known as the cerebro-spioal meniogitis, now prevailiog so extensively and fatally in many purts of the country, as the same epidemic which raged 1n Michigan about twenty years to such an extent that it actuslly broke up the Legislature, and carried te the grave every ons whom it attucked, un—til the old.fashion hemlock sweats, were adopted,” after which every case wassay ed. He says: Our people sent about twen-ty-five miles distant and procured hemlock boughs, and they sent for it from all parts of the State. . There was a company called the Hook and Ladder Company,and for weeks 'they did nothing, night or day, but go from house to house giving hemlock sweats, and it. never fuiled to. save every case. Thorough sweating might do, but there is a mistake about hemlock sweats being a specific.

~ The Law on Lotteries. An agent of the Louisville Lottery was indicted in Chicago, a short tiige time ago, for selling lottery tickets in viola tion of the laws of Illinois, and was tried on the 28th of last month. The counsel for the defendent argued that, as the contract was not closed until the ticket was mailed to Chicago from Louisyille,the defendant could not be held for offense under the laws of Illinois. The attorney for tbe State maintained that it wasan action or law that in mlsdeameanor where there. were accessories, all were principals, The defendeant violated our laws by acting as agent for an illegal concern. The Court, Judge Farwell, took the matter under ad_visemenxp, and finally delivered an opin~. ion, holding that the agent in Illinois was liable to indictment and trial under the statute against dealing in. lottery tickets. 2
