degree be useful.

with little salt added 10 the mixture. After
the stock of bran was exhausted, The other IN

milk each day and twelve quarts per day was
frequently taken from choice one of them.
How much butter was yielded, is not known,
bui my good wife tells me that considerable
addition has been made TO her pin nancy stock
by the sale OF butter 10 our neishbors, several Of
whom have been supplied by her.
The curry comb Was used morning and eyel-
ing on the cows, and the dung and wei litter
were removed from under them INTO recepta-
