Tho Gcnnun Method of ProHcrv
ing Butter.
In :i ric< nt tin tuber of the MUrh
Z'itiiny, i'r. !•'lt- hni ttn, (Icnii!Ui)H
highest authority on matters pertain
ing to the dairy, discourses on "Pre
served Butter"—not butter preserved
by the addition of home antiseptic,
but by its own good ipiality, secured
by extreme care in it manufacture,
and by ean ltd packing in sealed tin
cans. The phrase has long been ap
plied in Germany and Hutch sea-!
board cities to selected butter intend
ed for export or for use on shipboard '
in long voyages. It is expected
that such Butt, r, for which Ilentnark ,
lias the highest reputation, v.ii! keep
fur two years under any weather,'
when so packed.
It has a golden color, much like
that of fully ripened oat straw.
U he n the Ihitsid, of a knif, blade is
gently pro*-ed down on its surface
minute drops of clear brine should
appear, not in the least uiiiky : and
no butter, but only droplets of the
same clear brine, should adhere to
the back side of the tr\rr when
drawn out; these qualities should lie
exhibited when the sample of butter
has sto<s| long enough in a cool room
at a temp, ratur, of about .v de- ;
gr, < •> lalirenlii it to take this tem
perature to the centre oi the in ass.
The anah s s,,f sanipb of the butter
shows that it c -ntaius an average of
only per cent, of sail. 1 per cent,
j being usually added to the fresh but
ts r, and half of it w,,i ked out.
Its reinarkabh keeping qualities |
I seem ley 1 • due not to a large pro- |
! portion or salt, nor jet to an unan- '
; imousiy small proportion of the in
-1 trogei., us matter- of the milk, in i
which matt* is the decomposition!
ending in rancidity is suppo-rd to !
start; it keeps no will largely be
cause of llie j, rfeetly untainted con
dition of this matter when the butter
is lirst made. If, through < are!ess.
ne.ss in the management of the miik
or cream, eir untidiness in respect to
the iite nuls of the dairy, the smallest
quantity of tainted nitrogeneous mat
ter is It ft in the butter, the set d thus
sown may soon spoil the entire mass.
The difficulty which all lovers of
fine butter living in country towns
often find in supplying their want
seems to show that carelessness or
untidiness somewhere is the rule
rather than the exception in the home
dairy. It has been found that this
long-keeping butter can !• made from
sour as well as from sweet cr< am
-1 hose who handle it have alsey ob
served that summer butter, and es
pecially that made in late summer
and early autumn, has the; licst keep
ing qualities. Much care in the win
ter feeding of cows and in keeping
their stalls clean and well ventilated
is required in order to get butter
from stall-fed cows in any season,
whether winter or summer, which
equals that from cows that run in
pasture.
Tip Enei Grninn of Corn.
That the grains from the lip ends
of ears of corn produced the better
yield in comparison with those from
the butt and center led I>r. Slurlevant
to investigate further in order to dis
cover a reason. His explanation is
that the well-tormcd grains on the lips
of the cars had a fuller cbancc lor de
velopment in their normal shape, as
ft grain of com, if left with ample
room, swells on each side and assumes
a round form, which is prevented in
the centre of the oob, where the grains
are flat. Accordingly, the result
seems to point to round grains from
any part of the cob as the best for
seeding.
Af extensive catllo and poultry
raiser in lowa slates that he has no
troublo with vermin on bis beasts and
birds when they have a chance to
"dust themselves" and havo an op
portunity to eatoniens once a week.

Vuluo of Manure.
It should lye remembered that the
value of manure from all animals
varies greatly with the character of
the food, and that hog manure should
be HO valued from the fact that he it
also camivorouH, devouring dead
animals and grubs when running at
large, anil when shut up in a pen eat

and all the refuse from the table.
And all the time that these refuse -
are making rich manure they are
also making meat, and taking all
those advantages there in too much
profit for the farmer to lose, and he
should save it.
Mulching Wheat.

Asportiiur Produi
Many farmers and their v, ve, err
greatly in tin ir methods nf sending
products to market. I dn< specimens
ot fruit an i | <>or one", bar;', j- '.a'
and small onc, are thrown together,
and as a consequence the br-t is
brought down to the grade of the
poorest and is sold at a correspond
ing price.
In picking fruit care should be
taken to separate the good from the
inf, rior, even though the quality of
the one should be much smaller tl an
of the other ; then in selling each
grade will sell upon its mints, and
both producer and consumer will Ik
satisfied. This course is particularly
needful in gathering strawberries and
other small fruits. If the compara
tively large Iwrncs are placed in a
box by themselves they will always
find a purchaser at a high price;
and a similar course pursued with
the very inferior ones, and again with
the medium ones which make up the
bulk of the crop, will tend to secure
a market for every grade.
It generally is unwise to send to j
market al all any product that is
bruised, decayed or otherwise very !
defective. The presence of such
things detracts from the apjiearßncc i
ot other articles, and tends to create
an unfavorable opinion of liitn who
seeks to sell and of that which lieof
fcra. For all such fruits and vege- j
tables some use should be found at
home. If no higher use can lye made
of tlicm let them be feel to the pigs
or made into vinegar, or thrown on
the compost heap.

POTATOES do better in a cool soil

THE I/rarrr* Journal says that
with all the dangers from disease,
hog-raising, though it requires more
labor, is really the most profitable
business which farmers can engage
in where corn is a sure crop. It is
surprising, also, how many fanners
: there arc who smn to wholly ignore
the fact that any other f<od than
dry corn la suitable for swine when
it in within their power to keep such
stork half or two-thirds of the year
on fowl not nearly so expensive.
THE pride of the farmer should be
in his fields. In their beauty, in
their order, in their product lie
should place the gratification of his
humble and honorable ambition, say s
a contemporary. This is all very
well as far as it goes, hut we would
add : The pride of the farmer should
lie in his wife and children—in their- .
health and culture, mental and social.
A farmer with a family of seven*
eight or ten children, well bred, anil
trained up, has something to be
proud of, and that should gratify an
honorable ambition.
