? Grardcit. "qhulninq butter, For a few weeks the Farmer's Club has devoted considerable time to the discussion of butter making, and much difference of opinion >vaS elici ted in regard to the proper tempera ture for churning butter. It has long been known that the churning of butter is i-imply a me chanical operation, working no chem ical change in the constituents of the cream. The butter exists in the milk foiming 4 1-2 to "> 1-2 per cent, of its weight, but each little globule is enclosed in an exceedingly deli cate membrane, which prevents the several globules from adhering to gether, By the process of churn ing these membranes are worn or broken, thus allowing the several globules to come together in a single mass. At a temperature below about 60 degrees this union will not take pi ice, while at a few degrees higher temperature the casein of the milk will mingle with the butter, giving the butter a white color and the fla vor of cheese. The best butter is obtained at the lowest temperature at which the butter will come, and this is variously stated at from 55 to 65 degrees. The difference of opinion may result from dif ference in the samples of milk tried by different observers, or it may be due to the fact that in some cases the temperature WHS observed before the churning commenced, an 1 then the temperature was raised several degrees by churning. It was stated in a recent number of the Mechanic's Magazine, that Mr. Rennie ra'sed the temperature of water by simply Churning it, to the boiling point.— While engaged in experimenting on the evolution of heat by the agita tion of water, he put ten pounds of water into a churn which revolved at the rate of 2-32 revolutions per min ute ; the temperature of the water rose to the boiling point, and an egg was boiled hard in it in six minutes. If the farmers throughout the country would buy the thermometers for the purpose* apd would always havo their cream at 60 to 66 temper ature when they churn it, the aver age quality of our butter would be very greatly improved, and an im. mense amount of labor in churning would be saved. Thermometers with' out cases are most suitable for meas uring the temperature of liquids, as they may be easily cleaned after im mersion.—Seientijic American. Turnips—Purple Tops, From the first of July to the firsi of August, turnips may be put in. ] prefer Purple Tops. They may sue ceed other early crop's,as onions,peas green corn, early potatoes, &c. Su. perphosphate of lime will be founc an excellent substitute for barn ma nure in the cultivation of most tur nips, not excepting even the ruta ba ga. In putting in this crop, the sow ing should immediately succeed the harrowing, and be completed while the soil is moist and fresh, to insure the germination of the seed. Drill ing is preferable to broadcasting, as it enables the operator to adopt a more thorough system of after cul ture, and to keep the soil in a condi tion the most favorable to the rapid and healthy development of the plants. Any light land will prove congenial to this crop. Bone dust is an excellent stimulant, &ad posses es the advantage of being cheap as well as efficient. These turnips con stitute a most excellent feed "for cows and young cattle, and when rasped and mixed witn chaffed hay, hau'm. cornstalks or straw, enable the feed er to effect a very important saving in the expense of them through the winter. Boiled and mixed with corn or cob meal, they also furnish a-most healthy and invigorating aliment for store hogs. Sheep, likewise, are very fond of them. When fed to these animals they should be cut fine and fed with a little salt. I have known excellent crops of turnips raised among Indian corn, the seed being sown after or just be fore the last dressing- The hoe will cover the seed sufficiently deep, and as evenness of dissemination is not of essential importance, its action will supercede the necessity of us ing the rako. Soaking the seed for 24 hours before committing it to the soil, in house lye, or urine from the stables, and rolling it in a mixture composed of equal parts, of flour, of brimstone, plaster of Paris and pul verized charcoal, will be found not only greatly to facilitate the process of germination, but tend powerfully to protect the same from the rava ges of the fly, and other alligorious depredators which too often prey up on the plants. An occasional dres sing of the plants after they are ful ly developed, with the same mixture will bo found highly salutary, and secure a.rapid and healthy develop ment. Poudrette and guana have also been used with excellent success in the cultivation of the turnip, but as old pasture land, recently broken up, no manure is necessary, except a slight dressing of gypsum or wood ashes.— Germmntown Telegraph. -•-The Detroit Tribune publishes returns o£ the crops from many por tions of Michigan The exhibit is gvnvralty favorable.
