Butler From Milk.
'ANY persons in in;ikin:i butter
think tliey must nut clmrn any
thing but jiuve cream, and would rather
lope some of tlie cream in skimming than
to have tiny milk get in with it. I be
lieve I can make lii'ry pounds of butter
more from one cow tlui-ins; the kjhuoii by
oliuviiinr all the milk, than I could by
luivnin the cream alone. In the great
er part of the season the milk will sour
before half the cream is raised, the atmos
phere beinix warm and sultry, and t lie
creani will often Pour and taste bitter be
fore a cliurninjr is gathered. In cold
weather it will not rit-e, and if we warm
it as many do we hurt the quality of
the butter.
Jinny persons, in setting milk, put
about two quarts in one pan. thinking I he
cream will rise better. Think of the
cream that will adhere to the edges of a
pan in skimming, and then the number
you would have in setting the milk of a
number of cows. Drachms make ounces,
ounces make pounds. In churning- the
milk wc do away with the labor of set
ling, skimming, washing and scalding.
The expense of crocks or pans for a num
ber of cows is considerable.
I have cream crocks holding from four
to six gallons, easily handled. I strain
one churning in two or more, cool it, let
it stand until it commences to get sour,
and then put it in an upright churn that
holds sixteen to twenty gallons ; test it
with a thermometer; if too cold, put in
warm water ; if too warm put in cold wa
ter, and chum it about one hour at sixty
four degrees Fahrenheit. The butter is al
ways the same color, unless the cream has
been ii'oxeti or scalded. If the pasture,
water and other things arc the same, I
get the same amount of butter each day,
the whole season through.
I use sheep power for churning. It is
pimple, easily constructed, aud very dura
ble ; the whole cost will not exceed eight
dollars. In the lust manner referred to,
I have made from two common cows, du
ring the past two years, and five months
of this year, 1,092 pounds of butter, ex
clusive of milk and butter used in the
family, and raised one calf each year on
sweet milk. I have sold to the amount
of $2i5i) and have over three hundred
pounds for sale now. I don't claim my
cows to be extra milkers, but I do think
that a penny saved is as good as a penny
earned.
If our friends have a better way that
they can make more butter and make
it more easily, I should like to hear from
1 h e m . 11 urul New Yorker.
Deep Flowing
The following extract from " Wilken
son's Journal" in " Hearth and Home,"
contains much truth on this subject :
There's that deep ploughin' business 1
sec you've got sot upon, and I see they
keep hammerin' at it off and on. in the
Farmers' Club. Well, let 'em keep it up
it won't do no harm; but if a man
were to ask me which I believed in, deep
ploughin' or shallow, I should bo pretty
apt to tell him six o' one aud half a
dozeu of the other. It's a thing you
can't lay down no law about any more'n
you can tell a season aforehand what
week in May you'd better plant corn.
' It depends on the season, and on the
crip you want to get, and on the soil, aud
on your help, and on your team ; and
there's lots o' farm questions that you
can't answer in your newspaper-offices at
all. Half-past six is a good time to
go a clammin' if the tide's out; but if
the tide's in, it's a terrible bad time.
Of course, lookin' at it in a theory
way, the deeper a mau's soil is, the more
he's got of it; and other things equal,
the better he is off ; that looks us if he'd
, better keep a diggin' down. JJnt plough
in' deep don't always deepen the soil
not what I call soil, which is the stuff
plants want to feed on. There's lots o'
farm land Unit's got hard, gravelly stuff
below it; and if you plough into that you
don't deepen your soil, any more'n you'd
deepen your brain by shavin' the hair off
your forehead as lvo hcerd o folks
j-doiu'.
To Sure Fruit Trees From Borer.
The following receipt has teen frequent
ly sold to farmers, as a sure remedy
against this trouble. If of any value
our readers can have the benefit of it :
Thoroughly elcause the body of the
tree; carefully wash it with strong soft
soap, using about one half a pint of tur
pentine to a gallon of soap; rub the rough
bark off, then rub it well on the body of
the tree, the odor of which drives the
borer or worms down towards the roots.
Five or six days after this first applica
tion to the body of the tree, pour as close
to the tree as possiblo about a half gallon
of boiling hot ley, in which has been Uii-'-solved
a half pint of common salt and
one gill of turpentine. It does no injury
but enhances the value of the tree or
vine.
To prevent the fruit from being stung
sprinkle over the top of the tree a mixt
ure consisting of about a h:df pint, of
spirits of turpentine to a gallon of strong
lime water, which drives away the insects
and prevents them from attacking the
fruit or tvec. 1 his should be done early
in the morning, and at tiie time the blos
som has i ust left the tree. This is the
last application. Sprinkle it twice.
If there is a blight or black knot on
the tree apply the turpentine, salt and
soap and it will take it oil" and prevent it
any more from coming on the body or
limbs. Apply in proportion- to the first
directions.
Plant Young Trees.
11. W. Furnace says in the Nchrasha
Advertiser :
"Wcuot only advise but urge the
planting of young small trees, especially
if they are brought from a distance. We
know that most persons have an idea that
the older and larger a fruit tree is the
sooner they will get fruit. This is a great
error; and can only possibly be true when
trees are very carefully taken up, and put
into the ground immediately. As a rule,
however, when trees arc sent to any dis
tance, a one-year apple tree is preferable
to a three-year old one. They cost less
(ten cents, instead of thirty) lor trans
portation, less work to handle them to
plant, are surer to live, have better and
more roots according to their size, arc
more easily adapted to a new soil, the tops
arc more easily trained, and in six years
they are ahead of your three-year old
trees in all respects. In our opinion, you
will get a bearing orchard sooner with
one-year old trees than with three-year or
older trees."
Such has long been the teaching and
practice of the best nurserymen ; but ma
ny think they know better than those
who have had experience, and so plant
large trees.
They arc, however, generally persons
who try to ridicule what they term book
farming, and they do not read agricultu
ral papers; and, indeed we can have but
little hope that tiiey will abandon their
error."

A Cure for Diptheria!
All interested, please read the following extract
from a letter from Mrs. Ellen H. Mason, wife of
Hev. Francis Mason, Tounghoo, llirmah:
. . . My son was taken violently sick with dip
theria, cold chills, burning fever, and sore throat.
I counted, one morning, ten little veseicles in his
throat, very white, and Ids tongue toward th
root, looked like a watermelon full of seeds; the re
mainder coated as thick as a knife-blade. So many
children have died around here, I was afraid to
call a physician, and thought I would try your Pain
Killer for a gargle with small doses Inwardly. I
did so and found the gargle invariably cut off tlio
veseicles, anil lie raised them up often covered witii
blood, lie was taken on Sunday : on Wednesday
his throat wasclearand his tongue rapidly clearing
olf. I also used it as a liniment with castor oil and
hartshorn, for his neck. It seemed to mo a won
derful cure, anil I can but wisli it could be known
to the many poor mothers in our land who are los
ing so many poor children by this dreadful disease.
I have found your I'aiii Killer one of the most
vaulable medicines ever used in Ilurmuh. Once I
was stung by a very large black scorpion ; the pain
was indescribable. 1 Imniedlatelyapplicd the Pain
Killer,(for I never travel without it,) again and
again, and in half an hour my foot was well.
Dr. Walton writes from Coshocton "Your Tain
Killer cures this new disease Diptheria, or Snre
Throat that is so alarmingly prevalent here; and
it has not been known to fail in any instance when
used in time. Tills fact you should make known to
the world." (It Is used in this disease as a gargle
and lotion as well as a tonic and a stimulant.
In Halifax whero this disease prevailed for so
many months In its most malignant form, the uso
of Bern Darin " Pain Killer" was invariably at
tended with the most favorable results, when It was
used ere the disease had made too much progress
to preclude the use of so powerful a stimulant.
