THE FARMING WORLD. ■\ - TRIALS OF DAIRYMEN. Bow to Avoid Some Common Trouble* In Better Maklnt* A common complaint that comes to ns by mail is that “the butter won’t, come.” Well, the butter will come it the cream be churned at a’ proper ternperuture. I have put the limit of time for churning at 35 to -to minutes. 1 heat the cream just high enough to j make the butter come after about 35 minutes of agitation. 1 find some peo- | pie complain that there are specks j in the butter, says Prof. Robertson. If | you al'ow the vessel containing': the cream to be exposed to the action of the atmosphere a part of its moisture will evaporate and a scum of skin will be' formed on the top of the cream. That will be broken up by the churning, ami you will have merely small portions of thickened, diied cream in your butter. Prevention is better than an attempt to cure. Let the cream vessel be covered. c»r by frequent stirring prevent the for- j mat ion of the skin of dried cream. The straining of the cream into the churn is also a good measure for keeping specks of thickened cream or curd from . finding their way into the butter. 1 Occasionally butter-makers find the ! butter full of streaks. That condition ■ may come from the retention of portions of the buttermilk in the mass of the butter. The addition of a quart cl water for livery two gallons of cream, after the granules of butter begin to appear and Wfore the churning is completed, will help to bring about a speedy and full separation of the buttermilk. When the buttermilk has been removed the granular butter shoufd be washed with cold water. In, summer the temperature of the water should be about 55 degrees and in winter about 00 de grees. For the washing the churn should -be revolved a half faster than for the churning. Care should i e taken to prevent the granular butter train settling on any sediment of curdy substance which .may be left on the sides or bottom of the churn a Her the butter-washing water has been-with-drawn. 1 i A streaky condition of the butter sometimes results from an imperfect mixture of the suit with the butter. Reworking after' the.salt is dissolved w ill --oCrect that. Fine-grai: <-d salt only should Ik* used. The presence ol salt should be perceptible to the taste, bat not U> the sense of touch.—>. V.

DEAREST APPLE TREE. Il ( Ml 111 Uwnrr th* Tidy Sum of KortyFlrr 1'bouwnd lHiiUn. According to the Philadelphia Times the dearest apple tree iu the world stands on the Albert Smith farm, in South Strubane township, it has ct»s*> its owner over S-lu.DOO in cash, and no doubt much mental suffering. •_ In ts-ST, when the Smith pool gushers commenced to break the oil market and rum speulators, the company which he id the dean* the Smith farm deluded id locate a well near the boundai v line of the la me run iml Smith ties. The timbers lur'thc rig were on the ground when the owner of the farm objected to tin* location, claiming that if made On the spot chosen it would necessitate the chopping down of a fa' oritc apple tree. The mantiger of the drilling, couipauy hud conceived the idea, however, that the location was a promising one. becoming tired of Smith's protest, decided to gain his po ut and get eieu w ith the laud ow n* r at the same time. ‘ Acting or. tins plan, he had the timbers hauled a few fret, reversed the derrick and the boiler house, placed th« iu just across the line on th«* Caaieron farm and drilled the well w it^fa a few feet of the or.-uuil location rTite well fame in a gusher of the largest caliber, producing d.000 barrels of oil per day. A large j**rceetage of the j» - troleutc must come under the Smith farm, but the l*ole was on Cameron's . iaml. and the latter, of course, received the royalty. rile Well is still producing some c’ and the pr-»ji»;rty ow jut'sshare of r; • ot.tput has amounted to over $43, The* Pi ;e tils- tst t * J livts. but 1: is s; 1 j to havej beCn ruined by the close prox- | imity of the well. Other wells on the Smith land brought the farmer wealth, but his apple tree. which is now famous among drillers, cost him dear. A CONVENIENT CRIB.

D«eWo* la FkTor of tfc* Do Dobs Book and Eye. Judge Acheson, in tho United States Circuit Court at Pittsburgh, has just rendered, in the ease of Richardson & l>e Long Brothers vs. Campbell & Smith, nn important decision of great interest, sustaining letters patent owned by Richardson A: De Long Brothers, which were granted to Frank E. P? Long'for n humi>ed hook and eye. and enjoining thedefendantsfrom selling the “Golden Spring” hooks and eyes. The hooks dealt in by the defendants were manufactured by the Golden Spring Hook add Eye Company, of Springfield. Mass. In these hooks the positions of the straight and curved portions of the De Long loop were revised. The Court held that this did not void infringement, and directed a decree to be entered for the plaintiffs. The case, which was a test one of great importance, was contested at great length, and has been pending for almost two years. Messrs. Richardson «Sr De Long Brothers were represented by Messrs. Strawbridge <Sr Taylor. Bradbury Bedell, and John G. Johnson, of Philadelphia, and Frederick P. Fish,.of Boston, and the defendants by Messrs. Allan Webster jRnd William L. Pierce.—N, Y.

I . GATHERED ABROAD. The king of Carat bar ordered the use of the Gregorian calendar, beginning with this year. Eight hundred fishermen were car-! ried off cn' an ice fide in the Sea of { Azow recently, but were all rescued. For the first time the Finster- j Aarhora. the highest of the Bernese : Alps, has been climbed in winter. Prof. ■ Fiseher, with the guide Aimer, accom- j plished the leat a short time ago. When a handsome man visits the ! northeastern portion of Tartary, the in- \ habitants kill him because he is good I looking. They don't want his clothes i or his money; they simply want his soul to remain amoug them. Camel’s tiesh is the latest addition ; .to the Parisian bill of fare, Algerian butchers undertaking to provide the supply. The meat is said to taste like beef, though white like veal. The hump is considered a great delicacy by the Arabs. Telegram post cards have been sent or some years past in Paris by pneumatic tuber. It is now proposed to use the pneumatic system to convey letters not only from the sub-stations to the main office but also to the railroad stations. i -- PRODUCERS OF MIRTH.

TIM Appt« as MmUcIm. Dr. G. R. Searles, of Brooklyn, N. Y., thus discourses on the apple as medicine: “The apple is such a common fruit that rerv few persona are familiar with its remarkable efficacious medicinal properties. Everybody ought to know that the Tery best thing they can do is to eat apples just before retiring for the night. Persons uninitiated in the mysteries of the fruit are liable to throw up thei*- hands in horror jit the Visions of dyspepsia whidh such a suggestion may summon up; j but no harm ' can come to : even a delicate system by dhe eating of ripe and juicy apples j just before going to bei. The apple is an excellent brain foodrbefcause it has more phosphoric acid in easilvdigestible shape than other fruits. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the month. This is not all. The apple helps the kidney secretions and prevents calculus growths, while it obviates iudigestion, and is one of the best preventatives known of disease of the throat. Everybody should be familiar with such knowledge,” Deafness Cannot ?te Carol by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of tlie ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that!is by constitutional remedies. Deafness;is > caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
