WINTER BUTTER-HOW TO MAKE IT.
We found a few days since, in the Masslchu.
sets Ploughman the following notice of one of our
Vermont Butter makers. OF Mr.. Kimball we have
heard it remarked, she always gets 30 cents a
pound for his butter Cdledonian.
Hinier Bldier. Mr.. Jude Kimball, of LYNDON
VT. has shown us some excellent Butter made IN
December last 1t Is yellow as most of the tubs
that made in June.
Mr. X. tells us he scalds his milk before setting
it for cream: and his mode of scadng is 10 heat
quantity of water in his boiler and the milk pail
in the hot water not bong-till the milk has be
come thoroughly warm. 1t is then set in tin pans,
in dairy, where the heat is kept uniform at about
sixty degrees.
We think this u better mode of making winter
butt # than scalding or freezing the cream.
1F@We suppose the farmers and mechanics of
Washington county do NOT wish TO organize
county Society for the benefit Of their interests
Where's the first man who will say this is a mistak-
en- supposition?
p. S. Good! Since writing this item we find

| Care Of Uood-,otS. Never send boys in your
wood-lots with liberty TO cut 'chere and ,chat they
have mind to. Many line wood-lot has suffered
lrreparably from this discretionary power given to
thoughtless boys-and we may add, thoughtless
men. Farmers III mahy sections OF New-England,
are beginning TO see the necessity OF bestowng
greater care on their woodlands, and the impor-
lance OF this care should be duly impressed on
their sons and those IN their employ. Inc sons
are even more interested than the fathers In the
