DEANE, or FAYETTE CO ILLINOIS • The'advantage gained during the hot season,'by the rapid and complete cool ing ormilk as soon as itcomes l from the cow, can hardly be • over-estinivteds; as recent experiments show; that the milk, thus cooled, will keep sweet much lon ger, and yield its cream .more readily and mere abundantly; find, as all ex perience has proven that the quantity of butter made depends ,greatly upon keeping the milk in such a Atate as to Hecure!all the cream. A saving of labor is efle4ted by this process, as the Milk, when cooled to the required tempera ture, (00), may be set in deeper vessels, thus diminiAhing, greatly, the number of vessels required, and consequently the labor of cleansing them. • In 4 large dairy,• the , washing and scalding of, the shallow pans so much in use;is always a laborious and tedious process. There are many 'methods, more cirless simple, for cooling milk.-, Patents have been granted for various plans-,'and many enterprising dairymen are . testing ingenious devices, of , their own, with . 6xcellebt success. If it is not convenient to procure a cooler, the milk' may be cooled by setting some large i pails into a trongh or box, partly filled with very cold water', and pour ing the milk into thesti pails as fat as it is drawn from the Cows, allowlig 'it to stand until of the required tempera ture; if necessary, renewing the water. The payl..A used in milking should be made Of •tin, never of wood. It is very difficult, almost impossible, to cleanse wooden pails so perfectly that they will 'notnia,parc - norneTiegrto-or , c.o.,ut, zr +.0. - ii... milk, though it. may„ be an ',lnsensible degree.' Owing to this fact, some:fac tories make it an, absolute, requisition that only tin pails shall be used by those who furnish them with milk. • 4 . . s f• TDB DAIRY ROOM. .211AKERS Much of 'the' suecess of butter ma ing dependS upt;ln the fitness of the pla eor room where the dairy Is koPt, and t pon its condition as . to cleanliness and ' taints and odoriii of s eVer Ide'- scription.'' If cellar is' used, it shOuld be a dry one, and 'perfectly clean to the remotest cornets, having 'no hidden 'remnants of decayed vegetables or fruit, or anything which conld yoSsibly of fend the thest.delicate olfacteries. -If a room in the dwelling house is inied, or a milk bum e , built separately, which is Perhap4, better, it should.notte situated neara liog pen, stable, ,or anything of the kind ; nor should anything likely to impart its odor to the milk, as cod fish, smoked ham; onions; or'even po tatoes, be allowed a pla'ee in the rootn , Nothing Wilt receive a taint more easily` than milk or Cream ; and all bad odors absorbed by the milk, are certain .to be concentrated in the butter, they not bring the accommodating disposition tol oh birwith the buttermilk.. hdve,knOwn butter to be spoiled in con sequence of the milk standings in the room with a smoky furnace, and it is sometimes sensibly affected by the smoke cif burnt grease and other un pleasant' sntells :from the cook room.— So, if milk room communicates with the kitchen,' the, door shmild be kept closed. The milk, whether in a cell 4 or in a room above ground, should i lbe kept cool,in the summer, never being allowed to reach a tenigerature aboVe 6t}°, though it may fall lieleiv that Without detri ment.

This' is a matter of much greater importance than many suppose ?„ as , the . smallest 'neglect in.regiird'.io it is sure to tell upon the cream and butter.

Yet, in order to make the largest quantity of butter, care must be taken not. to remove the .cream, too soon. Many. neat, - thrifty housewives, make a practice of "skim-- ming up" all the milk at stated inter vale, so as to be through With the job. This is, of course, very,pleasant, but it inVolves considerable loss ; as ' they do,' not get the full cream from the neivest . milk. I The milk should all be skimmed at the 'mine age, provided it has had the same _conditions as regards tempo ratOre; etc.; it follows, then, that some milk should be skimmed every night and Morning. ' WINTER PIU willh - e folind that in winter, milk and cream requite somewhat diif rent management. The eflbtt must now be to - keeP the milk warm, enough rather than to keep it cool ; and a failure in this repsect will very materially affect the quality of the butter. If the milk is very much too cool, it will have to Stand go long for the cream to rise, that it will' become bitter ! , often long be fore it comes Sour,,and the quality of bitterness will ,be still more apparent in the' butter, Tti preVent this, the milk should be kept at a temperature of GO°, if possible; if not, the milk may be scalded as soon as strained, and the cream will then havea„fair start before ithe milk has parted with this extra heat, unless the place Wlikere it is kept is very cool. If scalding is not found suflicie,ut, two or three spoonsful of sour milk (which has soured quickly and is pot bilter) may be added .to each ,pan of milk when it is set away.. This will help to sour the milk and' chuse the cream' to f.'s° quicker, thus making it less liable to become bitter. It may also help to prevent• bitterneSs to salt tho 'Romig .nfigra siniLlino-that . Act not eat Amayed vegetables or any sub staiic(l, Which may impart :'a:lia(l T taste ' to the milk. The Cream should be. kept at, about the same teprerature (701, and should be Well 'stirred us often as new is added. It should not be kept too long before churning, never more than a week— four Cir live days is better. ISMiMEEREI The cream should be churned at a temperature of 62° or 63°. A great deal of experience may enable one to guess at thiS temperature with tolerable elev..; erness, but it is better to use a, thermom-: eter and .be sure. This temperature' Will be increased (luring the process of churning, to 68° or thereabotits, when the buttef will come. If it should be d and granular, refusing to come ether well, throw in a little warm later, Wtter will soon be gathered and ready to take up. Sweet cream should "never be mixed with sour cream just before churning, and sweet cream is much longer cont ing, and hence; likely to lose itself in the buttermilk. To salt the cows once a week is generally believed to facilitate the process of churning. In case they have not been thas salted, some put a little salt into th 4 cream. before churn lug; but we th'ink that in most in stances where ittt.ter is very long com ing, it is' owing to the temperature of the cream. - It may be so cold as to re quire churning all, day to bring the butter; a fa* upon one's patience and strength, if performed by hand,- equal to the cost of a dozen Eh remorneters. COLORI NG As a rule, it is abso utely essential in the winter to color butter, in order to make iL marketable, or at all attractive as an article or, table use at home.— There may be a possible exception to this rule, in cases where cows aro fed largely upon yellow corn-meal, pump kins, carrots, etc., but this does not lessen the importance of the rule. Of the various substances used in coloring butter, we think that carrots (of the deep yellow variety) give the most nat u rat color and the most agreeable flavor. Annatto, however, is principally used, and • with most satisfactory results. Some of the most) celebrated butter makers iii the country color their but ter with pure annatto, giving it a rich, deep orange, color. They do not aim to produce the-color, which is natural to sniuner butter,' but one considerably richer ; coloring in both summer and winter. If crrrots are used, they should be grated; the juice . exprssed through a thin cloth, and put into the cream just before churning. A small quantity of annatta,diSSolved in warm water or iniik,pidy be used in the same way, and with similar. results ; but & richer tint is produCed With anntitth by color ing the butter directly. - To prepare the annatto for this purpose, steep it in butter for some hours over a slow fire, then strain through a fine cloth into a 'ar and keep in a cool place. When ready to work the butter, -melt a small quantity,of this mixture and work it in carefully.. A small proportion of turmeric is sometimes mixed with an natto and prepared in the ay.

It is Important to use the best salt. , "Ashton's Factory 'Filled;''t has great fame, and is ,exten sively used. But any one can test the purity, of salt, and perhaps other brands ,of Liverpool salt may be found equal to Ashton's. Pure salt is, perfectly white and destitute ofotior. It will dissolve ti l in cold water withott ' leaving any sed iment, or throwing, ny scum to the surface, and the brind will be as clear -as pure wrier, and entirely free -from any bitter taste. Piot. Johnson says inthe American Agricultural Annual 186 that the "Onondaga Factory - Filled' must take rank second to none, 'provided the ingenious processes of Dr. acessman which were employed in Syracuse, a few years since, are still in -use." The buttermilk should be nearly .all worked out of the butter well wash ed, before salting. Washing may ab stract somewhat from the flavor of 'the 'bUtter, it is, nevertheless, a necessity, If the butter is expected to keep long, as it completely removes the cream and caseinof the buttermilk, a part of which might otherwise remain in the butter. Butter should stand but a short time after salting, before it IS worked enough• to remove nearly all the water, when it may ho resalted if necessary; there should be suilieient salt left in the but ter at this - time to make a strong brine of the little water that remains; It may then stand until the next ;‘day, when it should be worked and packed. On no act - tant should butter be allowed to stand long before working, as it is apt to become streaked, often so much so as to necessitate working over, in or der to restore a uniform color. Besides, if neglected too long at this period, a tendency to rancidity will be rapidly developed. We realize the difficulty of giving ex plicit directions for the second and last working of the butter—its final 1-,repa ration for packing. If not worked en ough, every one knows that the butter will soon spoil ; if worked too much, it is spoiled already ; though the danger of its being overworked is less. A great deal of judgment and discretion, and- somewhat of experience, are requisite in order to determine when it is worked just enough ; the'virtue of stopping, in this, as in ninny other cases,. tieing sec ond only to that of doing. There are some suggestions, however, which may prove valuable, particularly to those having little experience. Ist. The but ter should not be too warm when work ed, nor should it be so cold as to make working difficult. Immerse the ladle for a few minutes in boiling water, and cool perfectly in cold water ; t ten, if the butter in the bowl is warm enough to admit of putting the ladle through, the whole mass without difficulty, and ("hiding, it up without crumbling, and 1111...hura . nmurlx lit out 1 dean and smooth" not the slighteat particle' adhe ring to the lame, the it is in the. right condition to work. , 2nd. It, should be Worked . With •careful arid (gentle, yet tellingpressurc, and not by' a series of indiscriminate stirrings and tnasbings and grindings against -the sides of the bowl. The butter is composed of mi nute globules, which are crushed by this careless handling, thus rendering the butter greasy and sticky, whereas it should retain its clean, solid individ uality, up to the time of packing, al ways working clear from•the bowl, anti never stieli(ing, in the least, to the la dle. 1:d. The butter should not be worked until it is perfectly dry. When ready to Pack, it, should have a slight, moisture about it., a sort of insensible remains of the clear brine which has been working off, and at the last, en ough, so that when a trier is thrust into it, a drop or two of brine will ooze out around it, and the trieritself ho slightly wet, as if by *a light dew. Overwork ing destroys all the beautiful consisten cy of the butter.; makes it sticky and dry ; greasy in summer, and tallowy in winter; gives it, a Altai appearance, and a tende»cy to become rancid. Altoge ther, twerworked butter is very disa greeable, if not positively bad. PACKANO AND MADKETING Butter should be packed solid, leav ing no interstices foi air, 'and should completely till the firkin, tub, or as the case may be—leaving a fiat sur face. It is common to put a cloth over the top, and a layer of salt on the cloth. Some think it better to wet the salt, making a brine. The cover should then fit tightly, leaving no room for air be tween it and the butter. Some butter also goes into market in Liu; form of rolls; some pineapple, and other fancy forms for the table,_ete. Every person shottlil . be guided by circumstances in his choice of styles Ihr putting up but ter, always being careful to give it a neat and attractive appearance. l f liv ing at a distance from market., and the dealers at his market place buy fi)r New York, he should pack in firkins. or tubs, snthat the butter can be safely kept through the season, •and the whole lot disPOSed of at once in the fall. If at a convenient distance from NeW York, fresh tubs or pails may be sent in at in tervals, all through the season, or the whole kept through, as he chooses. Or if in the vicinity of any city, good chances offer in the way of supplying hotels, restaurants, etcera, the butter should be put up in a style to suit the customers. Some, who are hundreds of miles away, make shipments of butter to New York on their own account, in stead of selling to buyers cyt home, in which case, if their butter is really su perior, they will not be long in making a reputation, and will : be able to secure a high price. Some few have a stamp of their own, and labor assiduously to establish a value for it as a trade-mark. It is said:that the best butter Maker in the vicinity of Philadelphia, (who nev 7 er sells for less than a dollar per pound); uses a stamp inherited from his father, and that " not a pound of inferior but ter ever went to market with - that stamp upon it." If you would attain to a goodly fame, then, as a butter maker, and reap a rich reward for. your pains, attend carefully to the minutest details in making, and never sell any but good _butter, put up in neat packages; never anew, -your' "trade-mark" to lose its value.—AkiertnAgrielturist.

[From tho Day.] :WHAT IS -REPUBLICANISM SrV,enty yeas ago, Jealousy of foreign influence and Hatred of exclusiveness and. Proscription, culminated in a vig orousexPressban of popular will. That expression of hostility to British influ ence and exclusive privilege, was in the election of Thomas Jefferson President, and the doWnfall of the Adams Party. This event properly Is held to mark the advent of the Deniocratie party., The battle-cries theft were hostility to Brit ish' influence, British models, and a privileged class iipholdby 'such legisla lion as the alien and sedition laws, in character, if not in form. There were abuses which the now party promised to reform. Whatever elso moved its leaders, its masses were in terrible ear nest. And this party, with a record of success which is astonishing,lheld al most undisputed sway in national tics foilhalf a century. But a day arrived when this great and powerful party • deliberately ehal.-; longed the American people to put it to death. Its leaders, demoralized . by an 'lncreasing patronage, came to see in po aetion only the apportionment of leaves and fishes, and in the Democrat i &party 'only an engine for securing the a`m e. re in putting for Ward men for . 01ace whose ability trild integrity were widely known and ailmitted, the man agers came to prefer Pliant mediocrity, and ended by preferring men whosclf fences were a stench in the nostrils of decent people, and by becoming the champions and subservient defenders and abettors of one of the greateSt crimes against the race. Having seal-. longed the people to put it to death, the people accepted the challenge, spewed_ it out, slew it, and left it a pauper upon the hands of the robber cliiafs who had despoiled it, of its noble objects and aims. So much is history. The slayer of this once powerful and earnest, reform party, owed its birth to an awalaining of the public conscience. The Republican party arose, protesting against misrule and subserviency to wrong. IL demanded honest servitors. t demanded a rettn i n to the republican central idea—justice, It pointed to the past of the Democratic party, and thro' the press, a.nd in the forum, pressed its antagonist,With the Very words of Jef ferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson, _Puce. the watchwords of the party, now becomb tile sharpest and surest weapons of its ' destruction. The Democratic party had CetiFed to provide au honest and fat gal government.

The question was forced upon the pAhlie and as reforms -are sweeping, public conscience seized - bp and added that. to the load flung up on its antagonist. The result was not doubtful.' The organization which vio lated its public pledges akil heaped in sult upon the people, was' driven ftiona the high places of power, as it deserved to be driven, and punished, in the with drawal from ifs hands; of that which it most valued—plunder. And now, what is Republicanism ? Seventy years ago it was declared to in here in the greatest good of the greatest number; freedom and independence; ..an honest and economical admin iStra 'lion of affairs, based upon voluntary popular ell oi t ee. It was still proclaimed_ 16 be all that in 15•36 by the revived par ty, and down to within a.';! . , few years in Ourpast. 'But power is strouger than Wine, and the demoralizing influence of continued patronge exceeds that of strong &till:.

Not only 11301 of no pronounced diameter, .save as pliant, tools, but men of notoriously bad character, are boldly put forward for the votes of the people; and put forward, not in the form usu allrobser \ied by parties, but by force and fraud. Seemingly, certain of Re publican leaders have adopted Calhoun's idea—so long the central and control ling idea of the Democratic party. Do they think to demonstrate its truth?— Never was mistake, more fatal, never was blunder more inexcusable.. The cohesive power of plunder cannot en dow Reptiblieanism with power to en dut e.

'The Democratic pa rt,y hied it as a central idea, and 'Nv here is it to-day Not only beaten, and _held at hay, but so demor alized that even it 4 adversity seems to have no uses !

Democracy ; the power 'of example aPPeats to have overcome the Republicans in some quarters. But mark: When any, party substi tutes, for the honor which ,obtains among reputable men, that which ob tains among thieves ; when it substi tutes for love of principle, love of place and plunder ; when it substitutes for free popular choice, revolvers and blud geons ; when. it apes these things, or any of them, it rushes upon its fate by inciting honest men to combine and hurl it. from the places of power it abu ses. Republicans may heed the warn ing or not ;-,-but if they persist in such open and avowed wrong; if they main tain the challenge Bung out, thbpeople Will accept it, and there will be another public righting of what is wro p g, as no table as that of MO, and mordtenacious of continued life and usefulness.

A. - D. Nelson. IL is but a camp with stock ade buildings for quarters and stc,irehou ses, with dirt roofs, and mostly without floors. We have three traddrs, one of whom has as good an assortMent of necessa ries as could be found in any small place, but all agree in asking good pri ces. I arrived here in February; as is , Commissary of Subsistence-. for / the Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indbins.". The former, numbering about 1450, were encamped, in the vicinity of the post, and drew their rations regularly until about the 10th of May, when the Agent moved them to a better farming counJ try, 120 miles down the river. Reports say the most of the tribe is quietly set tled, and s'ome assisting the men em- ployed by the Agent in planting corn and making gardens ; but that some of the young men are prowling around the country, with other tribes. There are about 2,000 of the Cheyennes, but only a few of them came to the post after ra tions, during the latter part of winter; and they are now said to ba on the war path, with the Kiowas and Camanches. The Quaker Agent says ho thinks none but the wild young men will cause any trouble, but ho seems to be alone in his opinion. There are two huge storehouses here, and'a large amount' of stores for issue to the Indians, which belong to the In terior Department, and are to be re moved to the ne ‘r agency as soon. as practicable. The first demo] stration of hostilities was about two weeks since, when the animalsbelongin4 to g a man who is - gar- ' dening a few miles above the fort, were '• stolen. Since thou there have been five men killed and several wounded around the post, and nearly 100 head of horses and mules stolen. At a station half way between here and Fort Dodge, about thirty Indians, who pretended to bef riendly, called something to eat, awl received it, when they made asud den attack, killing . two - ruen and woun ding another with seven arrows and a billet ; but before they . could get at the two men remaining, a large detachment of cavalry from this place was seen ap proaching, and the Indians left, „V i vith .

Twice, a party of four and Ive havedash-ed through close .to the post in day time, and the last time they wed first- seen among a large herd of Mules, , trying to stampede them, but aid net succeed, and left in great haste, under a sharp lire. A messenger came in last night from a train with supplies for the post,which had been attacked by a large number of Indians, and as soon as a company could cross the creek, it went to rescue ' and escort the --_ train to the post. Two t parties have just come in, and report , having been attacked :by several hun dred Indians, about'kenty miles from the post, where one Fitly was surroun ded, when the mail party came up with them, fighting their way, and then were followed=to theamp.of the train, where the cavalry company had just arrived. They report about half a doz en Indians killed and many wounded, and brought two wounded soldiers into camp.' There are two young men from Philadelphia, on a pleasure and hunt ing excursion, with the train, who have been Very useful, and killed . several of the wild animals, though perhaps not the kind they came in search of. 1 - All expect Ithe troubles to continue during the s miser, unless the Indians can be sever ly punished soon ; but the present allow alpee of troops will 'have all they call attend to in guarding trains and: keeping up communication. It' the politicians who are so anxious to reduee the army, could be surrounded by a good force of the poor "Lo" fami ly, they might ehang:e their views as regards the present necessity of an artily. 'l'hi 3 is a very nice, healthful coun try, but the long dry season renders it almost impracticable to raise much pro duce. There leis been no rain since last fall,.till recently; .and now wo ex pect very wet weather for a month yet. Very high wind was common all win ter, but since the rains, there have been occasional calm days. There area great ninny buffalos, deer, turkeys, and smal ler kinds of game, so that herds fre- quently come almost into the .post.— The Indian trade very li ve l y (lu ring February and March, and trains c9ming from tho railroad with supplies, were loaded bad: with butralo•robes.
