BUTTE R-MAKIUG.
A of The Circular, who
lirtd eharfri'itf the Bntlor Dairy <>f tho (>n
f'nmmuiiity, ays :
With tho aid of investigations and ex
periments, 1 finally developed a plan of but
ter making whieli prodtuipd very satisfac
tory results, and which I am satisfied is
adapted to the production of excellent but
ter at all seasons of the year.
NECESSARY Coxomoxs. —Nearly all au
thorities on Butter-making agree, that every
thing used in and about the dairy should be
kept clean, free from taint of every des
cription ; that the inilk should be set in a
light and airy place, and be kept at a tem
perature ranging from 55 to fiO degrees :
that the milk should be frequently exam
ined. in order that the cream may bo re
moved at tlx' proper time (if the cream re
mains on the milk too long it loses its best
flavor); that the time which milk should
stand before skimming depends upon many
causes, such as the season, state of the at
mosphere, feed of the cows, Ac.; that after
the cream is removed from the milk, it may ,
be kept before churning a short time in
nearly the same temperature as the milk ot
the dairy ; that if occasionally stirred the
churning process will be facilitated.
CHURNING AND BACKING. —Have the cream
about 60 degrees when churned—better in
summer at 50 deg.—as soon as the butter
comes wash it in several waters (in ice-wa
ter in summer), i. e. until the butter-milk is
all out, and the water in which the butter j
is placed is perfectly clear. Then salt it (1
iiz. to the lb.) and work the salt in evenly j
with a ladle or butter-worker. Great pains
must be taken to work the salt into the but
ter evenly, otherwise it will look streaked
and its taste will vary. Then pack down
immediately, and cover with brine. This
method of packing butter more effectually
excludes the atmosphere from the butter
than any other plan I have seen ; and this
appears to me an essential point in the art
of butter preserving. I think it will be,
found easier to make good butter than to j
keep it good.
WORKING BUTTER.—I judge that more but
ter is injured in the process of working as
it is termed, than b'y any other means. It
is rightly assumed that the buttermilk must
be entirely separated from the butter ; but
this may be effected in various ways. If
performed with the ladle or roller the grains
or globules of the butter are very likely to
be seriously injured, rendering the butter
as a whole salvy and oily, and greatly
damaging the flavor. Besides this method
of freeing the butter from the buttermilk
often takes away the brine as well as milk,
leaving the butter 100 fresh Then more
salt is added, which will remain in the but
ter, partly held in solution, and partly not,
unless the already over-worked butter is put
ihrough the rolling and ladeling process
again. Hence 103' conclusion that the bet
ter way is to have the butter come hard,
and with little buttermilk (which can al
ways be done if one lias the right sort
■if churn, ami a supply of ice,; and wash
".lit the buttermilk with cold water (the
colder the better,) and afterwards work the
butter only sufficiently to have the salt
evenly distributed through it.
Miscellaneous Remarks. —There may be
methods of butter-making and preserving,
superior to that indicated as above ; ami
therefore I rejoice in the present discussion
■if the subject. I have, for instance, heard
ii objected, that the washing of butter
takes away some of its sweetness and vir
tue. lam not prepared to deny this asser
tion. But lam certain that very good but
ter may be made and preserved for a long
period by the plan described above.
Butter, I am satisfied, is also often in
jured by remaining ton long a time after it
is churned, before it is packed in tubs or
jars. It should be packed as soon as may
lie after the buttermilk is separated from
it, and it is properly salted. Never wait to
put it through the second and third work
ing.
The butter sent to market from small da
ries is not generally so good as from large
• dies—-partly owing perhaps to the fact
1 hat the former cannot fill a tub at pack
ing, and the butter in the partly tilled tub
is not properly excluded from the air by a
covering of salt or brine. This remark is
of course more particularly applicable to
butter-making during the summer months.
1 think the butter of small dairies would in
many cases be improved by tho use of smail
sized tubs or firkins.
It must not he forgotten in our philos
ophizing on this subject,that the quantity of
feed has much influence upon the quality of
butter produced. Tha grass and other pro
ducts of the soil are more nourishing, and
tietter adapted to the production officii,
sweet milk, in some portions of the country
than in others,
FAST AGE- FAST YOUNG MEN.
These are fast times, ami are prolific of
fast men. Most young men seem to have a
proclivity of fastness. They often carry
more sail than ballast ; more steam than
breakage. The fast time is the popular
lime. The fast horse wins the prize. The
two forty is altogether behind time. The
fast merchant draws the customers ; the
fast man secures the gaze of the eager pub
lic And the young farmer imagines ho must
catch the spirit of the times and he fast as
•he fastest. He must have a farm as large
is hia father had in his old age, must live
in a !tetter house than his parents ever
• honght they needed ; he must drive a bet
vr horse ; ride in a better carriage ; sport
a liner watch ; must live m a more fashion
able style ; play the gentleman at more ex*
{tense ; cut larger swells, speak louder and
be known farther than his old fogy ances
tors ever dared to dream of. He is not
going to bring up lambs by hand, nor carry
eggs and chickens to market, or cart pota
toes round like a Yankee pedler Not lie.
He has an idea of getting rich by the 'irtlej
h is bound to have a pile all at once. —
Talk ti< him of a quarter section ! He
wants .j thousand acres. Intimate that he
ii* ever going to fail ; why, he can prove,
by actual experience and figures, that an
acre will produce five dollars nctt profit—a
thousand acres five thousand dollars lie
i-an afford to be fast on that. He don't un
derstand his business ! why be is sure that
be knows a thousand things that would as
tonish his lather. Experience ! To he sure
tie lias not had it himself, hut he knows who
has, and what it is. Of coutso lu_- is sale—
has a through ticket to fortune on this ex
press, double quick time. This is the feel
ing of many young men. They want to
start, not at the bottom, but at the top of
the ladder. This climbing up step by step!
tliey don't believe in that. This working
and waiting! They are going to do none
of that. They are willing to work, but they
are not going- to wait. They want to re
verse the order of the seasons, and reap in
the spring. They would like to reap before
they sow, so as to save tnouey instead of
seed. The old way, beginning with a small
farm and a few implements, and working
up by degrees, is not consistent with his no
tions of the dignity of agriculture. This
starting in a cabin, and building one room
at a time, as the family and the purse en
larges. it is all gammon to them.
Now this is just the point we believe
young men have need to be set right on.
Instead of lieginning with much, they ought
to begin with little. Instead of a large
farm, they ought only to have a small one.
A little farm well tilled, Ac., Ac. Their ex
perience is small ; their judgment is weak;
their wants should be few. And lieginning
i with a few acres they will soon learn how
j to proceed to insure the best results.
The young farmer to be successful, must
begin with acres bearing some proper rela
tion to his experience and bis actual knowl
edge. Let him buy a few acres, build a
small house, secure a little stock and such
implements as he must have, and begin in
a small way. Let hirn raise his own seed,
increase his herds and cattle by natural
generation, and not by purchases. Let his
own skill and industry supply his own
wants as far as possible. As to his house,
and length and breadth of his barn, and
numbers of his stock of cattle, horses, and
flocks, and comforts to his home, and weight
to his character and purse, he will feel a
just pride in the thought that all this is the
result of his own skill and industry. He
will learn how to keep and inprove what he
gets, and to add more and still more to his
possessions. He will feel that he is himself
! a living power capable of producing the
• means of comfort and wealth. He will be
i counted a growing instead of a fast young
man. A growing young man is a man al
ways in the favor of his fellows. W hen a
' man is going up. everybody is glad to lend
hint a helping hand ; hut when he is going |
down all are ready to kick him along. It
is therefore best to start from the bottom
of the bill and work steadily up. Better be
; small and raising a little, than great and
falling a little.— Country Gentleman.
HOW TO KEEP ROOTS.
! A correspondent asks about the best
method of storing roots so as to prevent
their rotting. Says be lias lost his crop 1
two or three seasons when stored in his cel
lar. Perhaps his cellar is damp. It may
be too warm ; or it is possible he puts his
! roots in the cellar damp and dirty, and in
■ too large a bulk, without giving them the
proper ventilation. Hoots should not be al
lowed to freeze after they are stored, nei
ther should they be allowed to heat. Roots
should not be thrown in bulk 011 the cellar
1 bottom. Provision for the circulation of
air underneath them and up through them
should lie made. If put in a bin the bot
| torn of the bin should be elevated and open;
and if it is large the practice of placing
poles or scantlings upright through the bin
as a means of ventilation is a good one.
It is better to bury roots out-of-doors than
put them in a cellar which cannot be kept
cool by ventilation, and which is not dry.
Every fanner who feeds roots to stock
shouid have a root cellar in connection
with his barns. We have seen store-rooms
for roots made in the centre of a bay where
they conhl he kept sufficiently warm and
yet dry. It is often the case that roots are
dug too early in the season. The best time
depends somewhat upon the condition of
the soil. If di*y, elevated soil, we should
risk them as late as possible and not allow
them to lie injured by freezing. If wet and
low, where water will stand, dig as soon as
the water begins to stand on the surface, or
before. Again, roots decay from being
stored in a filthy condition. They will keep
better if perfectly clean and dry when
stored, and if not dug at a time when the
soil does not adhere to them, t hoy should be
. washed, spread arid dried before storing.
If we had other roots for winter feeding
we should let the parsnips remain in the
ground for spring feeding. And we may
sav here that we think the parsnip one of
the most profitable roots to raise for feed
ing.—/bore's Rural New \orker.
THE BEST BREED OF SWINE.
The inquiry of Mr. Chamberlin, in the
, Country Gentleman for 18th Dec., for the
. best breed of swine, covers a good many
points—no one breed is suitable for all pur
poses.
If one proposes to keep his swine in pens
or orchard—depasture them—or slaughter
at six months or eighteen months, for his
own use or for sale—it i-cally requires diff
erent breeds to fully meet the requirements
of each case.
For family use, six months' pigs of Suf
folk or Berkshire breeds are near the thing.
A Chester county sow crossed with a pure
Suffolk boar, will produce capital pigs for
fattening at six or eight months old ; this
. cross gives good side pork, hams and shoul
f ders.
To winter and fatten for sale at eighteen
months, the Chester county pigs do very
well ; but front several years experience
with this sort, for 1113- own use, want some
thing hotter. The 3' are coarse in hone,
hide, hair and quality ; plain heads, lop
ears, and no look of breeding about them ;
valuable as a "base of operations" for
crossing with finer and somewhat delicate
breeds, yet, for this purpose, hut little if any
better than selected common stock.
White hogs, with their hair, when turned
to clover, are apt to be badly sun-burned ;
skin 011 their backs cracking ; itiis prevent
their well doing for this reason. B3' many
Western feeders the Berkshire cross is pre
ferred ; this breed is valuable in any place.
The true way for Eastern pig-feeders who
do not. wish to pen up their swine, is to have
their pens communicate with their orchard.
Don't ring the ptgs, but feed \vel! and just
let them root as they will. This course will
manure your orchard, and 3*oll are sure of
a good crop of apples. In hot weather, the
shade is grateful to the swine, besides the
great benefit to future crops Il3' having all
worm and cureulio stung fruit picked up as
soon as it tails I hare followed tin's course
with swine and orchard li.j Jtyenty-fivc
vears, and but one year failed in having an
abundance of fruit. If the orchard becomes
too weedy, plow and plant with early pota
toes, or some crop which matures easily.
Sow with small grain next spring, seeding
with clover a?;d orchard grass, harvesting
grain t>v turning in pigs ; ajid if the pigs
are fattened by liberal feeding, wit bout con
finement in a close pen, the customer will
find it an improvement in quality and flavor
of his pork. S P.

advertisement: "V 15. Parties drinking
more than four glasses of this potent bev

A REM I.AR physician being tent for by a
quack, expressed his surprise at being
called in on an occasion apparently trifling.
" Not so trifling either," replied the quack ;
j "for, to tell yon the truth, 1 have, by inis
