Ganadiaaa may gather a ftw praotidal huts from tbe followiag story related by the Kansas City Lwe Stock Journal. It desonbes the growth of wbai is now a fall grown oceamery ** One of oar grocers oanoladed to try a ortamery in connection with bia basiueea, and arranged bis cellar for the parpose. In the cellar is a eptiog of dear, cool water in which he eete his milk caLS tor S2 gallons and a batter-wocker was pro cared. Theoans heasea are ot sacbsiza that one ibch of cream in the gaege will make one poond ot batter. There is great difference in milk, but oream is so nearijr alike in iM pro- daotion ot batter that a ^ven smoont ot t always gives the same weight of batter. Those cans were at first fnruisbed by the creamery, hat bow they are honght hy the farmer. The creamery owner at first agreed to give as maoh fer an inch of cream as the steres in the town were paying for a pound ot hatter, hat hfore Idng he foood that he oonld boy cream at SOrcento per inch and â- ell his hotter tor 32 tjeat^ per poaud, and he began giving two cents m ire for an inch U. cream tban a ponnd of batter boogbt in the market. At fi.et the f i^rmers were a little thy aboat eelutg tbeir oream, bat some ot theta began an experiment, and tbey toand tbat they got mure money by selling their cream than by mafciag batter, and tbe chnrniog was saved. ' In a short time the creamery man bad hi^ xoates all over the ooantry and did bis oburning by steam. Ha tells me that by feeding tbe battermiik to piga be gets euoogh oat ot it to pay the man who .has charge of the creamery, and now while borne dairy butter is dull io Cieveiand at 16 oentt be gets 2S cents easily. By making a hOMaess of batter makiiig every operation is per- formed at tbe right time, and by mixing the cream of all the cows a aniform grade ot butter i^ made, and all parties are benefitted." A f«SKwtlasu Tbe Olevelatad Herald recommends tbat where it is intended te try and briog np the poor field, instead ot waiting antil it is ploughed, tbe farmer shoold top-drees when the groond is ttoxen, and let th^ grass have the benefit ot tbe manare for one year. The thickening ap ot the sward and malti- plioation ot roots in the soil will often tar- nish more plant toed than tbe manare woald have doc^, and the meohaoioal con- dition ot the soil will be greatly improved, and the farmer then geta the oataral reno- vating t £f dcte ot the graes-roote to give the soil a start, wbioh is natore'a plan.

Fcasale â- Â»â- Â«â€¢ ta m A case recently tried before the Criminal Tribunal ot Odessa has brought to light some farther proofs of the diabolical tenets held by a secretly orgaoized sni fanatical Raesian sect, against whioh several i^sa- ontions have from time to time been iostitated. This sect, which is under an oath of seoreoyi appears to consist entirely ot women. These female fanatics, or rather female Thugs, have become iaf amous under the denomination ot " AiigelmakwB." They secretly destroy tbe cbildreb, gener- ally infants at the breast, committed to tbeir oharge. As naases, generally, and, more frequently, as caretekers ot illegiti- mate ohildren.tbey destroy their charges in any manner which promises the safest means against deteotion. Tbey profess their mision is to murder for the assured salvation of the sbnls ot their innocent victims, and at the ssme time to earn tor themselves eternal glory. Tbe prisoner tried wae charged under the name c^ Baohsl Odtrovsltaia, but was known to the police by several aiiases.

An obscure and poveity-atiioken nook ot tbe city, which owes its interest, not to history, but to fiction, is about to disap- pear from the map of L indon. Bleeding Heart Yard, which DioKena peopled with bis sympathetic characters, ia now a deso- late traot, the houses all empty, ttie yard deserted, but quite as dirty as ot old. The name had a mystery ah' at it which had fascinated the novelist. He kimself telU how tbe inbabitanta were quite at varianoe as to the soaree of this picraresqae aad suggeetive nomendature â€" some proudly oobfidontinan early murder, while the more sentimeotal injabitaote had a beauti- fal legend of a broken-hearted lady, o which they oiang with desperate unanimity. As sometimes happens in London arofas ilogy, the trae solution was suggested by a tavern. It i^ curious to fiud publicans aoconsdoosly dieoharging the duties ot the HeraldV College, hut topography and tavern siKni go often together. In Charles etreet, Haiton Garden, there was some ysars ago â€" and it may still existâ€" a public houoe of whioh the name was the " Bleed- iog Heart." The origin of the sign dates from before the Btf utrmation, and related to the Bsman Catholic mystery of the rosary â€" tbe Virgin's heart pierced by five swords.â€" Pan Mall Ganette. and ataaoaca era niab aad vivid. tsta past of- 'MsSltotMalM -lisiea 1 A CicaaUie Stt;r^UM».

The bpeaker relaited an inoi* dent that haipmed t him on tbe. inland of MalneoMp. Having landed I rem bis schooner he app'oadiodv the town, whioh is always bqilt a feif rods from the shore, and ioniid a nhmher et women eeated in .the largest house. He addressed toem 10 their dialect, but' they wtmld not speak, though i iia ai hard fjr a woman to keep silence in tooseregtoas aa io is in a more o:vilizad community. Tta women left the boose, aud be followed them to tae shore, where a native bad just lauded from Uin oanoe. The man was followed by about two hundred others in thdir oauctts, who o«rried among them a dead native. Tbis man tbey had Li'Ied in a wax ou a neighbo: ing tribe. The man was tied with grass rcpes and oartid to a public square by the women, alltakng oare not to tuuoh tbe body. Tbrea men then extraosed the eutrails from the body, while others dug a large bole in the eaith. The cavities of tbe body were filled with heated Btoaes then the body was pUeed in tbe hole, aud heated btobes beapedon it. A'ter a two- boure' dance and inoantation tbe t^ody was t luvght to he doue to a turn, and was tsken. irum Its roasting place auo uai r ed arcuod on sticks and introduced to each warrior. It was then placed in a sittuig position, and was approached by the chief, who itqiiired if itbad been satisfactorily treated, aud as tbe body did not avail isulf of the opporianity ot expreshiog ito gratification tbe priest of the town answered for it. After this ceremony the body wae out with knives of stooe, used only for saorifioial. purposes. The choicest m iraels of the ro tt s t e d- ilaBb, weearding to toe native tasta, "were the o|psr arms and. toe thighc, and these human delieoeies wsre reserved to liokle the palate of the obiet. The rest ot the body was divided among the war- riors, with toe exoeptioo of tbe headi which was given to the ptiast, aad tbe hands and feet, which were oontemptnously bandtd to too women. Tbe pieces- ot human flash were all pisoed on banana leaves, and each man waited until all had been allotted tbeir share. Then tbe toasted portions were poined BimultuieoaFly on wooden forks and depodted down the caveroona throats of toe assembled cannibals, exceeding relish being shown m the teas* ot biimitn fl«sh» thjogh tbe next day meet of tbem had the colic. The greatest oare wae taken not to touch tbe flash with the fiogers. The leaves ot banana were thrown In a large fi 'e, the wooden forks were placed in a running Hiream aud were allowed to remiua there far three daya.
