Report On Butter.

BIZ The Committee Of addison County IN.
agricultural Society.
Gentlemen: your Committee, appoint
ed to award premiums on Butter, after
some deliberation, beg leave to report,
That we had no hestancy in awarding
the fir st premium TO David Hazard of
of Ferrisburgh, $500. In other lots Il
near resemblance to each other was ex-
hibited. Your Committee had no diff
Guilty in agreeing, and without dlssen-
ting voice awarded the Society's second
premium to George Spencer of Addison,
$500. We noticed and examined other
specimens which gave great credit to the
manufacturers, especially lot IN stone
lars made by Mrs Sheriff., of Vergennes,
which would have taken a premium ii a
third premium had been offered Ii Is
proper here to remark, that all the butter
that was offered, was made between the
first of Nav and the 10th Of July, exam
ined at cur Fair in October 1874. Mr..
Hazard s butter was made about the first
of June, packed solid in an oak frkin, and
headed up tight, stored in clean dry
cellar, and is part Of about nine hun
bred pounds made from six cows kept on
grass only, and made from May i, TO
Oct. |, and the cream was not allowed to
stand over "a hours before churninS.
We conclude Mr. H., intended 10 say,
"That the milk stood "a hours for the
cream to rise, before it was taken off, and
cburned" and before the cream began TO
sour. We infer the latter from its taste
and appearance, inasmuch as its age, can
scarcely be identified by any taste which
is usually found in butter which has stood
for months through the hot season. Mr..
Hazards butter seemed TO be remarkably
free from gluton, or whey, or butter milk,
and vet moist and easily separated from
the knife which was abundantly manifes-
ted by the boring instrument. No salt
couId be found in the butter, nor betwixt the
LAYERS, and yet the W hole seemed TO be well
seasoned and fitted for the table. Your
Committee are Of opinion that this butter
would compete well at any fair in the United
States. Mr. H., did NOT say in his specih-
cation how much, If any cheese, was made IN
the time ofmaking his butter.-Where cheese
and butter in the dairy are made at the same
time the quality Of the butter may be greatly
improved at the-expense OF the cheese Tins
Question has long been settled. The cream
that rises first. is the most pure, while that

Gire yOur Child a Nerspaper.-A child be-
ginning TO read becomes delighted with a
newspaper, because he reads of names and
things which are very familiar, and he will
make progress accordingly. A newspaper in
one year is worth quarters schooling to a
child, and every father must consider that sub
stantial information connected with advance
ment.-The mother of family, being one of
its heads, and having more immediate change
of children, should herself be instructed. A
mind occupied becomes fortified against the
ills of life, and is .braced for an emergency.
Children amused by reading or study, are of
course more considerable and more easily gov
erned. How many thoughlless young men
have spent their earnings in tavern or grog
shop who ought to have been reading? How
many parents, who have not spent twenty
dollars for books for their families, would have
given thousands 10 reclaim son or daughter
who had ignorantly and ihoughtlessly fallen
into temptationl

is mt there any fire in the house 2 said
he, sharply checking himself in severe
animadversion on the servants.
There comes John,' said the cook, as
the gate was heard shutting, he will soon
make up, the fire, sir, and missus will be
home by'm bye
In no very good humor Harry had to
walk up and down the hall until fire was
made, and even after that, quite half an
hour elapsed before the carriage drove up
with his wife. She came in, complaining
of excessive fatigue, and with fit ofpeev-
ishness, for the milliner had disappointe d
her; and her husband spent one the most
unpleasant evenings of his life.
Another month passed on, and Harry's
pleasure in Witnessing the triumph of his
wife's beauty continued TO wear away be-
meath the'thousand petty annoyances OF
home. He still, at times, loved her as
passionately as ever, and often at an eve
ming assembly, he would stand apart lean
ing against pillar, contemplating like a
young lover the effect produced by her
trancendant loneliness. At other times
he would hang, charmed listener, on fhe
words with which she was enchanting a
circle of dignifed and renowned states
men. But when he entered his home, all
his happiness had vanished. His wife
belonged to that class who seem TO think
that it is too much trouble to dress for a
husband, and accordingly she met him at
breakfast and dinner, unless when there
was company, in an old slovenly dress, and
manner that was sure to be Indifferent,
even if it was not ill-humored for as El.
len had married him for his wealth alone,
and that was now assured 10 her. she no
longer considered il worth her while to
consult his comfort. In the same way she
met every advance for an evenings quiet
enjoyment when there was no ball or
soiree to atteni, though this occurred but
rarely. Instead of striving to entertain
her husband, she usuly took up novel or
slept on the sofa.
Sometimes Harry ven;ured TO expostulate,
but this only produced alterations. and he
was wise enough TO give it up. Scenes ike
that which we have recorded, when he would
return home and find everything comfortless,
servants negligent because the mistress of the
house was careless, became too frequent
Harry, at length did what hundreds of hus-
bands have done before, in like circumstan-
ces-he sought abroad for that comfort he
could not find at home.
There IS not now more unhappy couple
than Mr.. and Mrs. Stuyvesant. She still
shines in public, the admired of all observers,
but Ter beauty is already falling victim to
her ill-temper, and it is rumored that her hus
bands fortune begins TO feel the result of
his gambling life and that daily scenes occur
between the two, in consequence OF his refu-
sal 10 supply her extravaganza as before.
81 feared it would be SOL said Iiarry's I'M
Gle, land said, from the beginning, that Ell
lens selfshness would make her disregard
his comfort. All my dear, it is because you
have paid so much attention to the every day
trifles of married life that we have been so
happy.-Lddies' MAI. Mag.
