Gathering and Salting Batter
In the process of churning, sepa
ntion commences by the formation
of particles of butter into small and
nearly uniform lumps. In the bar
rel chum this uniformity continues,
v heo at the right temperature, un
til the lumps have reached a half
, poaD d or more in weight. When
about the size of a butternut, the
m! Jk should be drawn and a pail of
pare cold water added to a batch of
-sixty or seventy pounds in weight
fee water must be used in warm
weather. The churn should then
be revolved only enough to thor
oughly rinse the mass. More than
this would cause the formation of
too large lumps to permit the salt
to be readily diffused through it.
The water should then be with
drawn, and a somewhat larger]
amount added, the churn again re
volved in the same manner, and the
water again withdrawn. This sec
ond water should present but a very
slightly milky appearance, and
should all be removed. The churn
and its contents should then be
placed upon the scales and weighed,
and by subtracting the known weight
cf(he churn the nnmt"-
of butter will be obtained. Pure,
well-sifted Ashton, or other salt
should then be added in the propor
tion of one ounce of salt to each pound
o! butter, and the churn again revolv
ed until the mass is thoroughly mix
ed. It can thus be quickly accomplis
ed without exposure to the warm air
of the room. The amount to be
u«ed, however, should be determined
by circumstances. It designed for
the general market, or to be stored,
the amount specified should be used.
It for a special market, and for im
mediate use, the tastes of the con
‘ liners should be consulted.
The Coming Hay Crop
In one of the halt agricultural,
b.t political meetings held in the
H '-st recently, one of the leading
-peakci-fi, after advocating strongly
tat hoe-trade interest, declared that
’• all nonsense that supply and
'ltmand governed prices. It was
combination and association, he
which ruled in the matter, and
combination and association
farmers could get almost any price
asked for their products, and
compel those they bought of to take

Cj J!>e one can understand that the

A Care for Egg-Sacking.
The Country Gentleman suggests
a way to prevent/hens eating their
eggs. It is to fill an egg with a
solution of pepper, and put theegg
back in the nest. A Danbury man
has tried this and says it works like
a charm. He put a pretty good
dose of pepper in the egg, and plac
ed it in the nest of the criminal.
Pretty soon the hen came around
and took hold. It was a brindle
animal, with long legs, and some
what conceited. It dipped in its bill
and inhaled the delicacy. Then it came
out-uuura. it nian't gauop out, we
don’t mean, but it came out—came
out to look at the scenery, and see
if it was going to rain. Its mouth
was wide open, and the feathers on
the top of its head stood straight
up. Then it commenced to go
around like a circus horse. Once
in a while it would stop and push
out one leg in a tone of astonish
ment, and then holler “fire,” and
start on again. The other hens came
out to look on. Soon the hens from
the neighbors came over the fence,
and took up a position of observa
tion. It was quite evident that the
performance was something entirely
new and unique to them. There is
a good deal of humane nature in
hens. When they saw this hen
dance around and have all the fun
to herself, and heard it shout “fire,”
and could not see the conflagration
themselves, they filled up with
wrath, and of accord sprang upon it,
and before the Danbury man could
interfere, the brindle hen with the
long legs was among the things
that were. He says the receipt is
effectual.
Cooking Beets.
In the process of cooking beets
they are frequently made ver •f hard
and almost inedible, and the seeds
man or gardener is made to bear the
coesequencea of the cook’s short
comings. Following up our experi
mental trials, we have looked into
the cook’s department, and offer to
our readers the following conclu
sion : 1. In preparing beets for
cooking, the greatest care must be
taken not to bruise the skin, or in
any way wound the root; and if by
accident any injury has been done
to the root, bake and not boil. 2. If
a deep crimson hue is the color pre
ferred in the beet, or firm flesh, this
is the best attained by baking the
roots. 3. If a light, clear, bright
color is desired, or a soft juicy
flesh, then boiling will secure this.
4. If a rich, agreeable flavor is sought
for, then select the beet which, be
fore cooking, has the most purple
in it, and the flavor may be discov
ered by masticating a small portion
of the uncooked root If good it will
leave a rich, agreeable flavor on the
v xv/’\ «( fte K«A«r.

nee upon the farm there is no one
which tells of greater benefits than
tbdf roller. It pulverizes the clods,
smoothes the surface for the scythe,
or ! reaper, and compacts the
earth about the seed and roots of
plants; but above all and of most
tmportancent-tfesiroys^erarai-Tnw
object of plowing and, harrowing; A
roUer| greatly* ]
That small stones and to Ugh places
should be driven out 'of the wayof
the scythe or mower is a desidera
tum which every farmer will appre
ciate, and when the seed .is first
sown/and when the frosty winter er
thawing of the spring have loosened
its growth upon the surface it may
be imagined hCw it would be ~ bench
fited by giving it a bed the earth
again. But its most useful purpose
is less satisfactory explained* for its
only proof is only found in . the ex
perience of its use. ■ All know, that
most ot the vermin which afflicts
the farmers* crop has its resting stnd'
often its breeding place in the earth;
there,'and upon the ybuog and ten
, der plant, where it deposits its eggs.
The cut worm destroys corn at the
surface; the Hessian fly deposits its
eggs upon the wheat blade, which
often falls to the ground. The
earth, in fine, is fully charged with
the eggs and embryo of vermin of
all sorts in all stages, and it may
readily be imagined what an amount
of destruction would follow the pas
sage of a heavy roller over the sur
face.
We are glad to notice that the old
fashioned triangular harrow is going
out of use, and its place- is being
taken by those of less weight and
more economical shape. By the use
of steel instead of iron much small
er teeth may be used, and much less
sharpening is needed. We have in
use a jointed harrow of our own
construction, which we like as well
as any we have seen. It is compos
ed of two frames, four feet by five,
with eighteen steel teeth each, made
of three-quarter inch round steel.
The place of attachment for draft is
so arranged that the harrow is capa
ble of fine or coarse work, which
will vary from the finest garden to
the heaviest soil. It will cover a
space six to seven feet wide and
doei its work much better than the
heavier triangular harrow, and cov
ers much more surface.
We find it a most effectual imple
ment for stirring the soil of a potato
patch about the time the sprouts are
coming out of the ground, and after
one or two good harrows we find the
remainder of the culture to be light
work... The expense of keeping it
sharp is not more than one-half that
needed for*the same number of iron
teeth.— Weekly Age.
