IJoH to Make the Beat Batter.
]n reply to J. H. we have to say,
Ht there m in this market and
" in our vicinity,, a superior artl
t,'of butter, the equal of which is
co t to be found in any other city in
United States. The demand for
it i s ore at, and hundreds of pounds
ari , sent weekly by express to New
York, Boston, and up the Hudson,
other places, for all which gilt
(.h/j-l hr tecs are obtained.
Xhc wav to make this butter, is to
t x!y observe not only'one or two,
but several important points, on a
'.Jjin'ition of which success most
pearly hinges. After the tyro pre
'■ininar.v I’ oints are BUcJI as
j c ,r,vs (we prefer to Jerseys for
joiner the finest flavored butter,)
ir,j ~l feeding and management,
•. en co me Other essential points
for convenience we number: —
l*t. Entire cleanliness is indis
pensable in the stable, milking sheds
Li sprint: bouse. These must all
■be well ventilated and entirely freed
f-ora all noxious odors in them or in
their vicinity.
nil. Tne milk must be skimmed
at the proper time, and soon enough
after milking to obviate all danger
c j m ouldiness or absorption from
tVsckened or sour milk, or the re
suits ot fermentation. This cannot
be absolutely determined by any
n umber of hours after being set
avay, but must depend on the ex
pi<n<y, judgment, and observation
cf the person in charge. A change
ot the weather may necessitate n
sooner or later. To skin just at the
r u'ht time is an important element
h “roll edge butter.” If there is a
ivl O ° '
rule, it may be perhaps comprised
ia to skim at the precise earliest
moment, that all the cream can be
procured from the milk.
3d Keep the vessel containing the
cream down to a loin temperature ,
stirring it daily with a wooden spat
«a or lung-handled spoon. This
low temperature tor the cream, so as
to avoid all dangers from fermenta
tion, is very important.
4th.- Avoid what is called washing
llit hatter, which carries off the
ihrrfnvr, so much valued here.
tih. Churn the cream at such a
/ 'i' temperature, that at the point
ft turning into butter, it’Will come
1-trJ, and this is entirely within the
patrol of the dairyman, by throw
ing in either lamps of ice or pound
ti ice at the critical moment, and
gi'ing the churn a few more turns,
" > as to lower the temperature of
i;.e mass, and allow the butter to be
taken out hard. It this is not done,
ssil the mass of butter is soft or
c iv, it cannot be properly worked
:.uil will never make a good article.
Two workings are required,
one on taking out of the churn, to
ri I of most of the buttermilk,
vimi it is salted and laid away for
Ivo or three hours. The final work
ing is then done on the butter-table,
11 or 12 pounds at a time, or on the
b liter-worker. A fine muslin cloth
is wrapped around a fine sponge,
*uh which the flattened out surface
oi each lump ispatted, till everything
h absorbed like buttermilk or water.
rn j . f
i .e sponge and cloth are, of coarse,
‘"' m l i mc to time wrung out, as
The sponge is a powerful
oU o h
absorber, —nothing
it in this respect. The salt
' - i* at the rate of two-thirds of an
( '‘-e to each pound. t Butter may
■ burked too much, and it may be
'oaki'd too little.
,fn - Alderney or Jersey cows
! Juto give the butter the approved
- bn color, oven in winter;, but if
not the right color to please the
b 'i ihe fastidious citizen with his
basket, artificial coloring
bo used.

Practical Farmer,
One of the most {interesting facts
which t|iis extraordinary wet sea
son has brought out 4s, thht ferfciiiz
ers applied to. soils in dry summers
without appreciable effect -are ren
dered available in those that are
wet. The plats upon which our
fertilizers have be applied during
the past years, when the rainfall has
been so deficient, produced wonder
fully this season. The fertilizing
substances have been lying dormant
in ,the soil for the want of water to
render them soluble or to hold them
in solution, and this year the condi
tions have been favorable for pro
moting the changes, chemical and
mechanical, necessary for plant food
to bb made available. Owing to the
dry weather the past three years,
difficult to conduct experiments
with manures, and repack anything
like reliable results. Hundreds of
farmers have been misled, and have
condemned as worthless manorial
substances which had positive value,
but which needed the usual meteor
ological agencies to render them as
similable. Farm dung and stable
manures, as well as chemical fertii
g s / t
izers, have not exerted their full
influence upon soils to which they
have been applied, because of the
absence of rain. This sea-on they
have been thoroughly subjected to the
action ot water, and crops have been
benefited by the dormant manorial
agents applied two or three years
ago. Manures are not lost which
do not act promptly, unless they are
blown away by winds, or are wash
ed into brooks in sudden and vio
lent showers, which sometimes fall
upon the baked earth in summer.
If they remain in or upon the soil,
favorable seasons, which are sure to
come, will force them to give up to
plants the food they contain, and
the husbandman receives his returns
in abundant crops. —Boston Journal
of Chemistry.
For the last six years, says a cor
respondent of the Prairie Farmer f I
have been haltering my colls when
about one week old, and when the
mother is worked the colts are tied
by her side. I find many advantag
es in beginning so soon with them,
among which are : the colt is learn
ed to lead in a very tew minutes—
seldom more than fifteen. Being
thus early handled, they have no
[fear of being hurt when any one
comes near them. They learn to
travel on the road without fear of
the vehicle behind them-or meeting
others. There is more danger of
losing them or having them stop on
the road to cause yon to go back
after them. Two or three times go
ing back after a coll will break on<T
to lead by the side of the mother.
When so trained they are ready
to work as soon as they are old
enough. I have two that were no
trouble to break. All that they bad
to learn was to pull. They knew
what was behind, and had no, fear
of being hurt. One I harnessed
without assistance, and drove seven
miles, and back the first afternoon.
Neither of these colts has naturally
the best of tempers, but they are
now a very pleasant team to drive
in any place, or to any kind of car
riage. Kindness in all cases is nec
essary in training (I do not say
breaking) colts ; and firmness is
quite as necessary. In early train
ing a young colt will very soon
learn that man is his master, and
that he will not be hurt if he is qui
et. The colt learns little at a time,
too, and learns that little well 'and
be never forgets it. In beginning
with colts old enough to work they
are expected to learn too much at
once. A colt should not be expect
ed to learn all be is to know at one
time, any more than a boy should
learn all that is necessary lor him co
know at one term of school. Try
the plan of leading the colt when
the mother is at work this spring.
