REFORM OF THE ENGLISH CURRENCY

From 1910 to 1918, the average amount
of bank paper and of specie in the curren-
cy of England was E2l6,0OO,OO0 of the
former, and e. ,625, 900 ofthe latter. The
reforms INTRODUCED by Parliament effected
such change that in 1888, the proportion
stood thus: of paper fl25,OOO,OO0, of
specie El2l ,S2S,000. The difference in
the first period between the two kinds of
currency f235, 625 900; difference in the
latter, period only 4,l72,000. 1t is curious
to observe how nearly alike in amount are
the aggregates of the two periods, which
proves that country will not tolerate
more than a certain, though varying, a.
mount of currency, of whatever it may be
composed. All attempts to multiply wealth
by the mere increase of paper are not on
ly vain, but in a high degree pernicous.

SUGAR BEET.

The sugar beet is beginning to at
tract that degree of attention which its
Importance demands. In examining in
TO tie propriety of its cultivation in
this county, our notice is naturally at
tracted towards France where it has
been successfully RAISED for many years.
After it is, in the first place, admitted
that the beet will yield sugar in Suanti-
ties sufficient to reward the expense and
labor of its cultivation, there are then
two questions for the consideration of
the agriculturists within our territory:
namely, the fitness of the soil and eli
mate, and the means of making the su-
gar from the raw material.
AS to the profit of cultivating thisroot
for manufacturing purposes, it appears
that no better investmentof capital can
be made in France. The crops in that
country vary from eight to fifteen tons
to the acre: say that the average is only
eight, which will yield nearly sixty lbs.
Of superior sugar and the same weight
of molasses, from which second rate
article is made. Besides, their is not
less than ton Of the cake, after the
juices are expressed, being most whole
some and excellent food for CATTLE
The general results exhibited upon da-
ia, established by French manufactu-
rers, show the receipts to be quite dou-
BILE the expenditure in three months;
so that calculating from known and long.

A HUSBAND INDEED.

A man released for his good conduct,
from the Galleys in France after 26 years
confinement, came to see his wife, who, by
law exercised the privilege of marrying
by the civil death of her husband. The
second husband, in consideration ola large
amount of money which tho unfortunate
felon had earned while in prison, suren-
dered the woman and the parties ware
duties.

CURING BUTTER.

A writer signing himself "Old Ouch
css," says, butter should be cured with
out the aid of water. "Tho practice re
commended" says he, '!from long ex-
perience, is as follows: When the but
ter comes from the churn, put it in a
clean wooden bowl, and with a wooden
butter ladle proceed to work it by
breaking it down at the sides and turn
ing off the whey which is separated in
the process; at the same time strew on
I, !. sItr salt by degrees, so that it becomes
= Ultimately incorr wted. Continue
working it thus ~ 1.-THE buttermilk is
apparently all worked out. Put it then
by in a cold cellar till the next morning,
bywhich time the salt is dissolved when
the ladle is to be again applied, and con-
tinued as long as any butter milk be Sc
parated. The butter is then fit for use
or laying down. For preserving, stone
ware jars are preferable, ashley impart
no taste to the butter and exclude the
air. Pack down the butter without any
salt between the layers, and cover with
two inches of strong brine, previously
boiled, skinned and suffered to become
cold: If scum should afterward APP
pear on the brine which will sometimes
happen in damp cellars, renew the pic
klc. The impurities which rise to the
surface while boiling, or are found in the
residum at the bottom, are far greater
than any one would suppose who is not
in the habit of boiling his brine formeat,
butter, &c. Butter thus manufactured
md cured will keep twelvcmonth or
more perfectly sweet; and the rich deli
,acy of flavor impaired to that made in
May and June, by the young heritage,
will be in great measure preserved
Is is compact, without being too adhe.

MICHIGAN.

The Detroit Free Press of the 18th
fult. says" Enough authentic returns
of the late elections in this State have
been received to enable us ia assure our
political friends, that the democracy of

of their Governor, Lieutenant Cover
nor, and decided majority in both
