CuixE FOR U.Nni'i.v MiLKKKS. — !\!ake a pen of 

 just the size that the cow can couilbitably stand 

 in and no more. 'This you can do in the corner 

 of your wu'il, hy seiiinu' down three posts, and 

 hoarding them up lei.ce-like, leaving ilii'iii open 

 ;il the end to drive ill a cow. Let a space be left 

 open (It the side w here you wish lo milk. I'lit 

 your covv into it and tasicn her by slrenhiug a 

 chain aiMiiss the end of the pen behind her. — 

 'i'hen take a piece of rope, say 1.5 feet long, mid 

 lie one end of il to u post behind Ihe cow, and 

 near its length distant fmm her: lie the oilier 

 end to the leg of the animal, just above her loot, 

 draw it back as much as ii wiinld naturally be 

 for her to be milked. Then sit down and milk 

 llie cow at yoiir leisure. It will take a man an 

 hour and a half lo make the pen ; and when 

 once made, it is very liille more than to milk 

 wilhonl. She may object i;oin!i' into it llie first 

 and second limes, but vvill allerwards j:ive no

Cream CuEiiSF,.— Mrs. Arabella Shehbick, in 

 the Alhcny Ciihivator, gives the lollowing recipe 

 lor making cream cheese. 



Take one qii.irt of \e\s rich cream, a little 

 doiiied, put il into a linen clolh and lie il as close 

 to Ihe cream as you can. 'I hen hung il up to 

 drain for Iwo days. Take il down, and carelnlly 

 turn it into a ch-an cloth, and hang it up f<>r two 

 days — then take il down, and having pni a piece 

 of linen on a deepsoup-platf, inrii your cheese 

 upon it. Cover il over wiih )our liueii ; keep 

 tnriiiuir il every day on lo a cle.aii plate and clean 

 cloih iiiilil it is ripe ; which v\illbein about ten 

 daxsor a ftirlnighi.or may be longer,as il depends 

 on the he:ii of ihe we.ither. Sprinkle a liiiie s.ib i^ii

 ripen quick, kei p it covered with mint or iiellle 

 leaves. 'i"he sizi; made IVomaipiail of cream is 

 the most convenienl, but if wished larger, they 

 can be made so.
