MODES OF PRESERVING BUTTER
In all Maims been written on this sub
ject in this country, we have seen no re
commendation to melt and strain it. Vet
there ... Mtn be no doubt that this process
proves effectual. We have often told our
readers that thorough working is necessa
ry to exclude the buttermilk, and leave the
butter pure. We have told them that it
has been kept sweet for years without a
particle of salt, by separating entirely the
impurities that are found on churning the
cream. But this is not always an easy
matter. 'Washing with pure water is the
beat method that we have practiced in this
etluarS•
We have often asked the question, why
we should not boil the butter that we pro
postrto keep,-as we boil the fat of the hog
for lard, and the fat of cattle and sheep for
tallow t.
It is well known that lard and tallow
will keep sweet for a year without salt.—
And who can doubt that butter may be
kept as long ? On examining a recent
publication, which we noticed in one of
late numbers of the Ploughman--"On the
food animals, by Robert D. Thompson, of
Glasgow,"—we find the following re
marks:
"MODE OF' PRESERVING' BUTTER FRESH.
—The cause of the tainting of fresh butter
depends upon the presence of the small
quantity of cutd and water as exhihited by
the preceding analysis. To render butter
capable of being kept for any length of
time in a fresh condition, that is, as a pure
solid oil, all that is necessary is to boil it
in a pan till the water is removed, which
is marked by the cessation of violent ebul-
Mien. By allowing the liquid oil to stand
for a little while, the curd subsides, and the
oil may then he poured out, or it may be
be strained through muslin, into a bottle,
or cut out by means of a knife or cheese
gouge. This is the usual method of pre
serving butter in India, and also on the
Continent; and it is remarkable that it is
not in general use in this country. Bot:
Bed butter will thus keep for any lengthof
time, and is the best form of this substance
to use with success."
To our own taste, melted butler ismpre
agreeable han any that has been kept in
firkins, unmelted. And frowy butter is
rendered more palatable by melting at the
time of using it. Why not melt it before
it changes ?—Masaachusetts Ploughman.
SUMMERING M sxuaz.—Notwithstanding
all that has been said and written, showing
fresh that manure immediately applied tci
the land, or such as is preserved in tanks
or - under cover, or by a mixture-411.i
iar earth, is la - least four times the video of
that left in the barn-yard all summer c -
posed to sun and rain, wasting its richness
in the air and drenching its fertilizing salts
away ; yet many fanners still believe, or
act upon the principle of belief, that ma
nure is like cider, growing better with age;
and thus their dung is kept in the yard till
August or September, a great nuisance to
all around, and a sad loss to the growing
crops.
We are all well aware that rotted ma
nure is considered indispensable - for ,cer
lain crops. and therefore, many say they
prefer to sustain the loss of its rotting to
the inconvenience of using it in an un
fermented state. Let those whothus think,
consider, that when manure has become
rotted, it is then mere humus or vegetable
matter. such as decomposed leaves of trees.
straw, hay, cornstalks, muck,turf,peat, road
and dirt scraping, which may be had on
every farm to answer the same purpose as
the rotted manure. how many farmers
let all these substances go to waste, thus
subjecting themselves to a double loss--a
depreciation in the tralue of their manure,
and a neglect of the' vegetable matters on
their premises and around them.
How TO RARE A DOUBLE CROP ON A
Peon %R.—Plough up your ground in
tended for corn in the fall of the year,
as deep as you can; let it lie till spring;
at the opening of spring, when the frost is
entirely out of the ground, give it a good
ploughing and harrow it down. It is then
in good order for preparing to plant. Take
of leached ashes, two-thirds, and of ground
plaster, one-third ; mix them well togeth
er, and follow the droppers, and put as
much of this mixture on the seeds as you
can grasp in your hand and cover it well
over in tho usual way. The corn will
grow up finely sod retain a strong, vigor-
Ous growth and geeon color, and stand the
' drought much better than upon the strong
eat euluire. The writer of this having
tried the experiment for two years, has
filly tested its value.

have no party views—no political bias. The pro
prietor, by the terms of his contract with the
Senate of the U. States, is bound to the condition
that "the_ paper shell contain no political discus

news, not the organ of any set of opinions. The

reliable Journal of Intelligence, on terms which
place it within reach of the great masses of the

MOST WONDERFUL CURE.
Philadelphia,Dee. 4, 1847.
_Penetrated with
_a ,deep sense of gratitude for
the benefit experienced by the one of Thonnon's
Compound Syrup of Tar, and that others who,
like me, have languished throuh years of affliction
and Suffering, without being a ble' o find a remedy
may know where Wean be obtained, 1 voluntarily
make the following statement.
About four years since, after biring_affected with
a violent cold, it left upon me a troublesome and
severe cough. Whilst the cough Contjatied,whieli
was with scarcely an intermission during this
long period, language fails to tell what I have suf
fered from debility, pants in the breut and aids
night sweats, difficult expectoration, oppressej
breathing, and in fact all those symptoms which
mark a severe pulmonary affection. The relief
occasionally obtained by the discharge of the mat
ter Which obstructed the healthy action of -my
system, but increased my fears, as the purulent
matter discharged was 'frequently streaked with
blood.
During this time I was under the treatment of
several physician's, and took many of those prepa
rations recommended as serviceable In the cases
of others,
but without relief : and I at length con
eluded that a cure in my case was hopeless. But
how agreeably changed is now my opinion! I
have used for about three weeks Thomson's COM.
pound Syrup of Tar, By the use of one bottle my
cough has been relieved and my system reinvigo
rated, and by continuing the use of It up to this
time, I am satisfied that my complaint is entirely
removed and eradicated.

Dear Sir—l feel bound to the afflicted to give

valuable External Remedy, called Hunt's Lmi

My daughter, a girl of twelve years old, had
been afflicted with Iffhinc Sire/ limes, in one of her
legs, directly below the knee joint, for several
months, during which time her sufferings have
been excruciating and deplorable. I called on a
Fhysician, who, during frequent visits, made use
of every means in his power to orrest the fell de
stroyer, but all without effect The leg continued
swelling, until it opened, forming various din
greeable ulcers, rendering amputation necessary
unless immediate relief be had. Fortunately, how
ever, on the firstday of December last, your agent
having been in our village, and hearing of the std.
ferings of my daughter, he sent me one bottle of
your Liniment, The use of which alone, thank God,
has not only arrested the further progress of the
disease, but has cured the leg perfectly, removing
all pains and swellings, pod restored the leg to its
proper use:
J am under many obligations to your kind agent
who thus, by one bottle of your invaluable medi
tine, saved the leg of my daughter from corpora
hon. Your Liniment should tind its way into ev
ery family. MOSES PHILLIPS.
