"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.
