Years.

Take good cream and churn it tho
roughly, then wash out all the buttermilk
with brine that has been purified with
scalding and skimming; put the butter
into clean oak or ash tubs, and keep il
covered with very strong brine, which
is made by putting more salt into water
than boiling water will dissolve.
In the usual way of putting salt into
butter, there is always more or less dirt
put into IT.; the salt dissolying leaves the
butter porous, lets in the air, and is the
cause Of its turning rancid. Milk should
DOT be taken with cream that is to stand
some time, as it is one cause OF the butter
tasting bitter. When any milk settles at
the bottom Of vessel Of cream, IT may De

DYsENTERY COMPLAINTS.
AS the season of the year has returned
in which Lakes, Diarrh@as, Gripings, and
Dysentery Complaints, are more prevalent
than at some other seasons Of the year,
permit me. Sir, to state, for the benefit of
my fellow citizens, that by upwards OF
twenty-seven years. experience / have
found, that whenever my bowels were
affected by any of these disorders, RICE
has been sovereign remedy, and always
relieved me in few hours; and it has
always been attended with the same good
effect when complaints of that nature have
attacked any of my children or family.
| have frequently recommended it to 9th,
ers, who have been benefited thereby.
At this season of the year, would re-
commend it TO be given to children as a
meal at least two or three times week.
Let your rice be sufficiently cooked Ell
Their with milk or otherwise, SO that it is
made palatable-if some prefer it in NUT
ton soup, they will find it beneficial, or in
any other. Permit me, sir, to say. have
no other object in view but the good of my

as never bought pound of rice for sale

From any Prison an Georgia,
Jan, 10th, 1919.
Mr.. Editor,-I have always deplored
the inhuman and unnecessary practice OF
imprisonment for debt, but never on my
own account till DOW. have considered
| it legalized system of reuenge, and not
the means of obtaining justice for pecun-
larry injuries. The satisfaction which the
creditor derives from the sufferings of his
imprisoned debtor, is merely qualification
of malignant feelings towards him, which
ought not TO be administered by the sane
ton of the law. The tears of the pris-
oner cannot blot out or liquidate bis
debt; his groans connot be coined; his
signs cannot swell the sails of his pros
perity-he cannot " coin his heart for
drachmas."
Entertaining these sentiments, / never
imprisoned a fellow creature. Being in
fuenced by these sentiments, l have
rescued many from jail and thereby am
l reduced tojail myself Alas

wife and chidren.-My inability TO pay
my debts Git is not denied) was owing to
misfortune, DOT to crime, unless it be
crime TO help the needy. 1t is therefore
unjust in them to doom me to prison, un-
less it can remunerate them from the
losses they have sustained by me. But
they expect no remuneration--indeed
they deprive me of all chance of remu-
nera,ing them. Their satisfaction is-re-
venge.-From my pains they extract
pleasure, as the bee sucks honey from
