WHAT DID HE SAY? 
THREE CAPITAL BOOKS! 
Longfellow Birthday Book.

gift-book and album. On the left-hand pages are 
choice extracts from Lonofeulow’s writings; on the 
right hand pages, the names of famous persons born 
on the days given, aud blank spaces for the auto¬ 
graphs of one's relatives and friends. With a fine 
pnrtraitof Longfellow and 12 beautiful illustrations. 
Price in cloth, $1; morocco, calf, or seal, $3.50. 
People cannot act well in public a part 
which they are not in the habit of acting at 
home..... 
Prof. F. W. Tustin says, in the American 
Bee Journal, on the subject of bees puncturing 
grapes:— 
"Our conclusions from observations and 
from the testimony of others are:— 
1 . That the bee cannot puncture the skin of 
the grape with either its tongue or its sting. 
2. That it is possible that bees tear open 
grapes from the fact that they possess the nec¬ 
essary mandibular power. 
3. That they rarely, if ever, do this, and 
that their depredations upon grapes are con¬ 
fined to those whose skin has been raptured 
from some other cause... 
In a recent lecture on the art of butter-mak¬ 
ing, the noted Dr. Voelcker remarked :—“ It 
has been said, with a good deal of tnith, that 
by over-manuring pasture land wo reduce the 
fine quality of Die butter made from the milk 
of cows fed upon such pasture. My belief is 
that the finest quality of butter is produced 
from pasture which contains a great variety of 
herbs, some of which might even be ranked as 
weeds.... 
The question is, Can ordinary pasture pro¬ 
duce first-quality butter ? and to that, ques¬ 
tion I answer, ‘ Decidedly, if you take proper 
precautions to prevent the cream turning sour 
before it is churned.’ This sourness, let me 
repeat, is the great hindrance in making high- 
class butter. Many persons deem this a small 
matter, and unconsciously allow the cream to 
get somewhat sour before making butter; but 
if you desire to produce good, sweet, keeping 
butter, you must churn cream as sweet as pos¬ 
sible. This, you will be inclined to say, is an 
extremely simple matter: and I am almost 
ashamed to speak of such simple matters in the 
presence of so many experienced persons; but 
my experience is that simple things are the 
most difficult to make people learn. With 
most of us there is a peculiar tendency to aim 
after some big thing and to neglect the little 
thing, notwithstanding that it is on the latter 
that so much of our daily comfort depends.,.. 
If you pour oil the butter-milk as soon as the 
butter comes, you will have butter much more 
free from the cheesy or curdy envelope which 
originally encased it in the creamy globule. 
And you will never make first-rate butter un¬ 
less you preserve a regular temperature in 
churning. The temperature should never j-i.se 
above <50 degrees, it should bo rather below 
than otherwise. I am no advocate of all these 
beautiful air churns and complicated contriv¬ 
ances. You do not want them. In a good 
chum you simply require an implement which 
enables you to chum sufficiently without over¬ 
doing it.
