New PRoGREss oF MAKING BgrrEa.-
Mr.. James Stubs, Of Cuttyhunk Island, in
forms US of a new and simple process Of ma
king butter from the cream, which promises
to superseGe the labor Of the churn, at least
during the warm season. At his dairy, re-
Gently, a quantity Of cream that h&a obsti-
nately refused to become butter under any
reasonable amount Of agitation in the usual
mode, was at length emptied into a clean
"salt bag" Of coarse linen, and deposited in
the ground at a depth of about twelve irch-
es below the surface, to eooi. Ga the fol-
lowing morning It vas found that the butter
milk had entirely separated and disappeared,
and the butter remained in the sack perfect
" nice and sweet. He has since frequently
manufactured butter by this method, with
invariable success, in from 6 to IL hours
As an %ctte;tual preventive Of any earthly
taste becoming impaired to the butter, Mr.
Stubs suggests that the bag containing The
cream be placed in another bag, or cloth
of the same material. the value Of the dis.
covery may be easily tested.
