Wioslow, in tlie Ahine Farrier, sot* that the firmer should ascertain the character of his cow's milk separately, fattening for beef those whose milk does not yield good yellow hotter. Then his firkins should he made of sweet wood, ash, ample, oak or spruce, and thoroughly saturated with strong pickle ; work out all the buttermilk with a wooden ladle ; then take for k seasoning one pound of good salt, one half pound of pure white sugar, and two ounces saltpeter ; mix thoroughly together and use one ounce of this preparation for every pound ol butter. The above quantity is sufli cient for twenty-six pounds of butter. The j butter should be put into the firkin solid heat- ( ing it down smooth with u wooden pestle ; cover .tt with a linen cloth, saturating the : cloth with sweet hot tallow or beeswax, tak ing care to wring out ai! the tallow or bees- . wax you can after dipping the cloth. This cover will exclude the air. No salt should be put between the layers ; simply stamp down each layer smoothe with the pestle, and cover with the cloth until the next layer is ready Butter parked in this manner will neither grow soft in warm weather, nor crumble in eold weather, and is better one year old than when first made. It will sell for from five to six cents per pound more*than common but ter. In a P. S. lie remarks some u e four instead of two dflnces for saltpeter, and think it i;> an improvement. Let farmers try both. STIR THE Soir. —Good farmers are well ac quainted with the fact—and an i nportuut fact 111 uli good farming—that frequent stirring of the soil in all open ero is, is calculated to have as much effect in producing an abundant yield as an extra dressing of manure. It is cspeci ally valuable in dry seasons, and the oftener it j is resorted to, whether in field or garden, the i more beneficial will be the result. As to the j iatter it is frequently neglected to a painful degree, but most generally in small gardens which arc left to tiie management of women Thrice as many vegetables conld be raised in many of these small enclosures by stirring (he ground often, destroying the weeds as fa-t as they appear, and so arranging as to obtain ut least two crops from cvry part of it. Every family .should have net less than three crops of peas, planting tomatoes between ' the rows ; three crops of corn, planting celery between every other row, or cucumbers for pickling, or citrons for preserving, or cabling • Cabbages can be set out between every two ' rows of potatoes : turnips will grow among corn ; lettus plantce can go between encumbers and mellon hills, or even in new strawberry beds. The ways to multiply crops iu a-stnall garden are numerous. STOCK PAYS ALT. THK This-:—The heading of this article, says the Valley Farmer,ve as the remark of an old farmer the other day, while deploring the failure of his wheat crop. One year the wheat fails, another vear the oats fail, another year the corn : 1 ut, said he, " Stock pays ail the time." lie also rctnaili ed, that the farmers who early gave their at tention to stock-rak-nig, had gone right along ' without set-backs, and had outstripped the grain-growers. There is no doubt much truth in the old man's remarks. Stock is the surest and most remunerative. But in thickly settled regions it is better and safer to divide the interest be tween the two. The two assist each other - and improve the fura. Waste straw and oful > of the grain crop,will go far to feed the stock, 1 will go far in fertilizing tlio soil and improv- ! ing its capacity for productiveness. The strength of the soil is a greater desideratum with the farmer. The soil is hismiueof wealth -—his treasury —his hank of deposit. lie must keep it good, or his paper is protested ; h'\> reputation as a farmer is dishonored. It is well to keep a variety of stock, as well es raise a variety of trrain crops. The genera! profits of each year are thus kept nearly equal. Panning may bj done closer, lees wasted and more made. TOKF.FI- HFTTKR SWKET A corrcsDondent of the Americau Agriculturist gives ti:o fol lowing directions for preserving butter city iAgth of time. In .May or Juno, when buttei is plenty, work it thoroughly two cr three times, and add at the iast working about one grain of saltpetre and a teaspoonfnl of pulver ized loaf sugar to each pound of butter. Pack iu tightly in stone jars to within two inches of the top, and fill the remaining space with strong brine. Cover the jars tightly, and bury them in the cellar bottom, where the butter will keep unhurt for a long time. FA I.I. POTATOES. —Keep the vines well culti vated and hoed, free of weeds, and take care that the soil be perfectly loose and open Potatoes will not grow freely in a close, com pact soil. If any further fertilizers appear to be needed to increase tlie vigor of the growing plant's, fcattcrover the drills a mixture of ten bushels of wood ashes, one bushel of plaster, nnd one bushel of refuse salt. This will suffice to an acre, and under any circumstances the application will prove beneficial To PRF.SS CUCUMBERS.— I Take three gcod sized cucumbers, pare them, put them ia cod water for an hour.take them out and cut them in the usual way ; sprinkle salt upon them and let them be so until an hour before dinner ; drain off the salt liquor ; put them into a vege table dish. Take a piut of sour crearn ho old) a good tabiespoonful of cider vinegar, a piece of batter the size of a hickory nut; put them on tiih fire and let it couie to aboil ; pour it over the cucumbers whiie'ho*; set them by in a cool place until dinner. We think it is the only way to cat them. Try it.—Amer ican Fanner. BARLEY FOR llENS —There is no grain so weli suited as food for liens. Barley, when fed with oals and corn, will often bo gather ed first by the fowls, and hens fed with more or less barley, are said to lay more freely.— We have used bailey and peas, and our re turn of eggs is evidence cf the snitableuess of the food. ISDELI.IBLE Ixt.—Take of nitrate of silver one and a half ounces, and dissolve it in twelve ounces of weak gnm mucilage then udd live ounces of liquid ammonia, and put it. into blue bottles for use. When opplifd to articles they must be exposed to sunlight until they become bla<-k. The blue bottles protect the ni rati of silver f;#tn decomposition by the aetloa of light. itttsccllanfous. ! £3ga NEW ATTRACTIONS ! fr* At Geo. B.

This compound will lie found n greet promoter of i ! health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu- j mors wnicii fester in the blo'sl ot that season of the vein . I 1 By the timely expul*i"ii of them many rankling disoi- j \ <lers are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by ti.e ai l of tiiis it mi dy. spare themselves from tin l endurance ot ? eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system | I will strive to r'd it-ell of corruptions, if not assisted to j do this through the natural channels of ti.e body by mi alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the I skin in pimples, eruptions,or sores ; cleanse it when you lind it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it j whenever it is foul, and your teelings will tell you when, j Even where no particular disorder is lelt people enjoy i i belter health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. | ; Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; hut with this pabulum ot lite disordered, there can he no lasting health. | , Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the giea I machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. ! Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation ot , ! accomplishing these ends. Hut the wjirld has been egre- s ' giously deceived by preparations of it. partly because i ! the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for j i it. but more because many preparations, pretending to ; 1 be concentrated extracts of it. contain but little of the j j virtue of .Sarsaparilla. or anything else. During late years the public have la-en misled by large ; I bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa- j ' parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds • | upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any j j Sarsaparilla. hut often no curative properties whatever. Hence, hitter and painful disappointment hu followed I 1 the n-e of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which j flood the market, until the name itself is ju-tly do- j j seised, and has heroine synonymous with imposition and I cheat. Still we call this compound Ssrsapariiln. and in- i j tend to supply sueh a remedy as shall rescue the name I j from the loud of obloquy wliidh rests upon it. And >ve ! : think we have grounel tor believing it has virtues which ' ! are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is | j intended to cure. In order to secure their complete I I eradication from the system, the remedy should he judi- j ! cionsly taken according to direction- on the bottle. Prepared hv Dr. J. (I.
