Hints to Farmers. — We had a very awkward horse to shoe, aDd I was punishing it very much to make i.t stand still. The shoeing-shop was just before the kitchen window, and ,my wife, who is a kind-hearted woman, came out, and reproved me for my conduct to the animal. She went up to it and patted it, and spoke kindly, and stood against its head, and it stood quiet as a lamb, and we could have done anything with it! .."With, a , restive donkey, if the smith will hold the" donkey's foot just below. his knee, 1 instead of above it, and speak kindly to him, and pat him, I will be bound to say he will stand as still as possible. — 'Yorkshireman.'

The Way they Make Butter in France. — It is. well known that cream my be converted into butter by: simply being* buried in the ground, but it is not generally known that this mode is in common use in Normandy and some other parts of France. The process is as follows : — The cream is placed in a linen bag of moderate thickness, which is carefully secured aDd placed in a hole in the ground, about a foot and a-half deep ; it is then covered-sap, and left for twenty -four . or twentjrfive hours. When taken out the cream is very hard, and only requires beating 1 for a short time with a wooden mallet; after which half-a-glass of water is thrown upon it, which causes the buttermilk to separate from the butter. If the quantity of. cream to be converted, into butter is large, it is left more than 25 hours in the ground, winter, when the ground is frozen, the operation is performed in a cellar, the bag containingthe cream' put within a second bag, in order to prevent the chance of any taint from the earth. This system saves labor, and it is stated, to produce a larger amount of butter than by churning, is of excellent quality, and is, moreover, said'never to fail.

Salt for Swine.— While all other domestic ariimals'are Regularly supplied with salt, the hog- is generally neglected. He requires,-, however, to be as' constantly supplied as the ox, the horse, or the : sbeep,-and-suffflrs as much, from" privation as either of the above-named animals do. . His food is almost invariably given to him in a fresh and unseasoned* state; and to this fact we may doubtless attribute many of. ,theviolent and 'fatal diseases to whiehiheis, subject, and. which. s_ tagger, all remedies however promptly and skilfully j administered. If the food be not regularly seasoned, there should bo a trough .or box in every sty, in which the salt may be .deposited regularly for the use of the animals. ' Seasoning' the; food judiciously would be much the best way. , Himg-arfan jockeys frequently tie a clove of garlic to their --racers.': bits, ,when the hordes, that run^agaisstlthmi fall back the* moment they' breathe the: offensive odour; . - ! - - <.-'* ;
