geparimtnt. f rem the American Agriculturalist.] • \7o Want Good Butter. 'I be '.laircing season is uow at fall tide ;the lL.ii: , erfiow with their foaming treasur v", j ,e crowned with rich cream, and gu.o. .gets of butter are ready for transpor tation to the market, there to be minted into solid coin. The quautity of products brought to this market alone, would surprise a novice ; the quality of much of it is still more astonud ing. An average of 500,000 lbs. of butter per week is consumed in this city and vicinity; 100,000 lbs. would be a full estimate of the prime article to be found in the whole quantity The price paid for the best sorts, ofer the in-, ferior, would seem to be iudueemeut enough to furnish, a £ood article in abundance, biit, when purchasing family supplies, we have often sampl ed andtasked large lots—smelling was enough in'many cases—without finding a single desira ble firkin. Scarce a country housekeeper would allow such trash to appear on her table; indeed, visitors from the country find the poor butter here, one of the greatest drawbacks to their pleasures at the table. Why then is sncli butter sent here? From some sections, no doubt, because it is poor. A neglected churn ing is found unfit for family use, and is "sent to the store" in barter for other necessaries; the merchant pays cnc price to all customers, packs it all, yellow and pale, pure aud poor, waxy and greasy, in one firkin ; the better quality is soon corrupted by evil communica yon, and when opened in market, all is thor oughly vile. If country dealers would fix the price according to the quality, much of this, would be remedied. Housekeepers have little i eLcouragemeut to do their best, when a pound I of grease, fit only for the soap-maker, buys as 1 much sugar as a pound of good tabic butter. / Dairymeu who produce a really superior j article, arc often surprised at the small returns j received from the distant market. Their neigh-J bors exult in two or three cents more per lb. > obtained for the same quality, and sold by the same commission merchant—there must be a i mistake somewhere. The mistake is at the j dairyman's door. His neighbor procured new j firkins or tubs this Spring, has kept them > neatly painted, with his name plainly marked 1 iu full upon the cover. A grocer or hotel keeper j was attracted by the promising look of the ' package, tried if, found it good, and engaged it for the season—the brand was established, r.od will always sell while it keeps its reputa iu Our less fortunate friend made the old it! ? vcr, marked it with a cross or a notch i :.c would know, and sent it along. The • . . r worn aud rusty pail wa3 overlooked . j ..'j best customers ;it was set with the sec ond sorts, and sold for second prices, to the joy of the purchaser, aud the loss of the econ omical dairyman. Three cents per pouud on thirty weight of butter would pay for a new pail every week. But the great drawback In the quality of our butter is the want of eioow grease. It is not sufficiently worked. It leaves the dairy appar ently sweet and fresh, and is so for the time, tire ladle or the roller were sparingly used, the buttermilk and .our milk soon become rancid, evil five to ten cents per round loss is the ptn idly. It would be lloaght a hard law that inflicted a fine of that amount for every pound of poorly worked butter, but the inexorable laws of trade do impose j'ust such a fine, no excuses are. received, no penalties remitted, d there is no appeal. But on the other hand •xtd butter, nicely packed, and carefully for ked ! to honest dealers, invariably receives . which we wish ail our dairymen >. i > pete lor and part of which we -will cheerful', ay. M - v.—A smile wreathes the lip of our vetti. :'armer, as he reads the headiug of this article. Can an Editor teach me any thing new in I hit line 1 Oh no, 'sir, perhaps not, but let us hiut a word or two to your sobs, or to some young men who have not such skillful fathers to teach them. We want them to learn this art aright, then they will never for get it. This is one the most fatiguing operations of fanning and the more so, as it has to be clone, in very warm weather. Any hints to lighten the labor will be very useful. In the first place then, rise early, and begin before sunrise. By doing so, and having your scythe sharpened aud in perfect order the night before, yon may get half a day's work done by nine o'clock The coolness of the morning air, and the dew ou the gras, will both help along the labor.— At nine o'clock, you may retire to the house, or to some shady tree, and rest jourself for several hours, while your slow neighbor is sweating through the mid day, and perhaps hurting himself by over-work and bv' taking down large draughts of cold drink to "allay Lis thirst. Between two and three o'clock you may begin work again, refreshed and vigorous and may labor till sunset with little fatigue. By all means keep the scythe constantly in good order. Let it be adapted to the sue face of the ground to be mowed. If that is level and free from obstructions, the scythe may be Ionr and almost straight, and it will work easy. If fte ground is broken, or covered with stones or low stumps, the scythe must be short and crooked. While the snath should not be too heavy, neither should it be so light as to tremble and shake in the mower's hand ; also, let it never become loose from .the blade, as this will cause it to catch on every obstruction, and require a great waste of strength to make it cut. Many young mowers, ia their haste to get over a certi' .n piece of g: ;und, often worry themselves by this little neglect. It is very pleasant to mow iu company, but young and inexperienced mowers should be careful how they pit themselves against the brawny arms of older and strooger workmen. Many a premising young mau has been injured for life by the ambitioo to be thought a great feowgr. that our young laborers will be carc ::l . : i following close to each other, we com .x tiiem to their noble work, and hope they • i.i pa • through the hay harvest iu good ealth, and gather abundant crops.

Warranted the best in the world for Family Use ! . Price Withiu the Reach f Every Faaiiiy. PRICE 5367 Hemmer, Feller, Binder & Tucking guage, combined. $5. THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish ed as the most reliable Machine in the market for family use, anil has been attested too by thousands of the most respectable families in the Union. This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Ixjck Stitch," the only one made by machinery that meets all the requirements of Family rfewing. Each stitch is tied twice, so that every one is securely fastened Wholly independent of all the other stitches for strength, so that if the seam Is cut or every fourth stitch broken, the sew ing must hold good while the tabric will wear. The machinery which makes this stitch is a marvel of sim plicity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage it, nor does it require adjustment more than the mere change of thread and noedles to adopt it to the character oi' the work tq be sewed—coarse or fine as the case may be. It will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without changing either needles or thread equally well, and re turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction. No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as much. A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an swering all the requirements of the family, sewiqg coarse and tine work equally-well, was the gregf desideratum'of the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPER. The stitch is beautiful, trong, and elastic, and will not rip in wean or in acci dental breaking a thread. Every Machine is wan-anted to give satisfaction or the money refunded.
