" What a glorious thing it would he (says the Post) if we could celebrate this year’s jubilee strictly after the Mosaic fashion. All mortgages and debts would be wiped out, the State would resume possession of the land, and we should all make a fresh start. It would not, however, he much of a jubilee for the great loan companies, the banks, or the English money lenders.” A correspondent oi this paper, who suggested this method of commemorating the Jubilee some time ago must feel 11 Uternd to hud that in different purls of New Zealand his idea has been taken up and republished.

There are several remedies to prevent the taste ol turnips in milk, but we believe (says the ‘ American Agriculturalist ’) not one of them can be strictly relied upon as effectual. We will, however, give them in order:—l. The objectionable taste comes from the crown of the turnip. If this is cut off and throwu away entire the remainder will not affect the milk. 2. Dissolve a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda in a teacupful of warm water, add this to six gallons of milk when first set in the pans. For a single gallon of course onesixth of the above would be sufficient, and for two or three gallons m due proportion. The turnips ought to be given to the cow immediately after milkiug. 3. Pulp or crush the turnips so tine as to make them quickly and easily digested after eating, and when fed mix with cut bay or straw. 4. Scald the milk as soon as drawn from tiro cows. The best way to do this is to insert the milk can into a largo pau or kettle about three quarters fall of boiling water, and stir the milk until it reaches 80 to 00 degrees of heat, and then set it away to gradually cool off. The cream then rises thick, comes off m a lump, and is churned quickly. All the above remedies are so simple us to bo easily tried, and if tiiey do no good cannot effect harm.

We believe that if everyone would use American Co's Hop Bitters freely there would be much less sickness and misery in the world, and people are fast finding this out, whole families keeping well at a trilling cost by its use.

The largest steam hammer in the world has recently been made at I’ittsburg. It is used for forging steel plates of enormous thickness and size, is ten feet square, and strikes a blow of 200 tons. The anvil block upon which its fearful impact descends is a solid cube of twelve feet, and weighs 180 tons. It was oast upon the foundation it now rests on, and it took the molten contents of six cupolas to make the block. When it was cast the Pittsburg Fire Department sent six steam engines to the scene and kept them there for a week, or until all danger that the tearful mass of molten iron might burst its bonds or by its exploding gasses fire the neighborhood, had ended. It took nearly six months for the anvil to cool so that the sand mould might be dug away, and even then workmen could not touch it with their bands.
