A Few Words on Butter Making.

The production Of Butter involves
so many intricate questions Of orga nj,
chemistry-so many nice physiological
consideratiuns--is influenced so much
By climate, BY soil. by food, and the
breed. age and condition ol the cows,
that an essay might easily be written
ON the subject, while il is exceedingly
difficult to say anything interesting IN
a single short article.
Milk costains curd, sugar af milk,
and butter. The latter. exists in the
form Of small oily globuIes, encased BY
6lMs of cunl. These globulesa re spe-
ci6raily lighter than water, 80 that
when the milk is SLOWED to stand, they
gradually rise TO the surface and con-
stitute cream. When the cream is
kept at u moderate temperature, the
sugar, under the influence of the curd
and air, is transformed into lactic acid
according to well known chemical prin-
ciples.
The object Of churning is to separate
the butter from the curd by which it
is surrounded. This is accomplished
simply by agitating the cream and
breaking the films Of curd, setting the
oil Tree which runs together and forms
Jumps Of butter. Cream from the for
nation of tactic acid, is generally sour
before churning, and if not, always be-
comes so during the operation. The
tactic acid acts on the films Of curd,
and renders them more easily broken.
During the process, the cream increas-
es in temperature from TO 10 deg.
The best temperature at which to churn
the cream is a disputed point. Ii ap-
pesrs, however, TO be well established
by numerous experiments, that So
when the cream is put in the churn,
aud about 650 when the butter comes,
affords the best result. II higher than
this, the butter is white and soft; if
lower the whole of the butter is not se>
perated, and the labor of churning is
much increased. The butter should
come in from 20 to 40 minutes. If
obtained quicker, it is generally at the
expense Of color, favor and hardness.
After the cream is "broke," it-should
be churned slowly till the. butter is ga.
thered.-
Some goodbutter-makers do not wash
the butter at all, merely working out
the buttermilk by pressure. Where
good, cool. spring water can be obtain.
ed, We should always prefer to tho
roughly wash the butter, taking great
pains to remove all the buttcrmilk.
Butter generally contains about 5 per
cent. Of water, curd, &c. It's impor-
tant for the preservation Of butter, that
as much of this as possible should be
removed. The quantity of salt requir-
ed depends on the quantity Of water
in the butter. The water should be
saturated with salt; hence, the less wa
ter the butter contains, the less salt
will be required for its preservation.
We need hardly say that the mnst
scrupulous cleanliness is required in
all the operations Of butter>making.
Cream is more easily tainted by nox-
ious grasses than almost any other SUBJ
stance. Hence, not only must the da.
Try or cellar be itself clean, but all
fumes from the barn-yard, or out-build-
ings, carefully excluded.

The duty on American Tobacco. i'm
ported into England. is only about
twelve hundred per cent? So we learn
from the British Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer, who, on looking about to find
articles which will bear the increased
rate fduty during the war with Russia
thinks that tobacco duty will do as il
is, particularly as he adds, that this re,
venue is improving from year to year
We quote:
"That is wonderful state Of things
and | think il one of those cases I,
which to apply the doctrine of let well
alone. (Hcar, hear.) Were we to tam
per with il. LIDO cot think we should
get very large sum. Nemight break
down the revenue altogether. and ena
BILE the smugsler to have the upper,
hand"
This duty Of 1900 per cent yields a
revenue Of about S25, 900, 900 and all
derived from one article of American
production. That will do for free
trade country, and for a Government
as fond Of free trade treaties as Great
Britain is.
The duty upon tobacco in Great
Britain has varied considerably in fif-
ty years. In 1901, it was Is I'd; in
1911, it was raised to 2s Id; in 1921,
twas further raised to As; in 1891,
il was reduced to Ss--at which sum it
remains, and yielding more than twice
the value of tobacco exported from the
United States. The revenue has also
doubled within thirty years.

SLAVES RETURNING FROM CArlroRSiA.

SLAVES RETURNING FROM CALIFORNIA.
The Steamship Pampero, on her last
trip from San Juan, brought up twelve
or fifteen slaves, who, together with
their master, were on their return from
California to Georgia. These slaves
were taken out to California by their
master, in the spring of 1850, and as
soon as practicable after their arrival in
San Francisco, started for the gold
mines, where they have ever since La
bored faithfully, the proceeds of their
labnr rendering their owner wealthy /:
When they returned to San Francisco,
the owner addressed them, and inform
ed them that they were free; and offered
to rig them off in fine style, and give
each of them sufficient sam of money
to enable him to start fair in the world
for himself. Without single excep-
tion they refused. They had all been
looking forward with great glee to a
return to the "old plantation" and the
/" old folks at home," and so back they
all came, and by this time, perhaps,
they are astonishing the young dar-
keys who have never left home. with
the wondrous instances which befel
them in the land of gold, and gratifying
them with sight Of the monkeys, par
oquets, &c., which they picked up on
the lsthmus Of Nicaragua. The above
facts are gathered from gentlemen who
came through with the slaves and their
owner, and who were perfectly cogni>

the late Rev. w. Blunt requested a
lady, whom he thought qualified, to
undertake some charge in district vi

She answered him, rather declining
the proposal. "My stay here will pro,
badly be too short for me to be of any
use. ! do not know that shall be here
three months" His answer was brief,
calm and solemn. "I do not know
that shall be here one" He alluded
to his time and life in this present
world. She saw his meaning, and an
swered no more, AMI heartily embraced
the work offered her to do. In Gods
sight, time has in reality no remnants,
no shreds, no patches to be thrown
