POOR FARMING EXPENSIVE.

The truth is, poor farming is an ex-
pensive business. The cost exceeds the
income, If from a very low grade of
farming, which Of course must be unproit-
able, We ascend TO better condition of
the art, we shall come to a point where
there is neither loss nor gain the income
equals the outgoes the end meet, as they
say. And this, if we understand these
matters, is the very condition in which
nine tenths of our farming now is.
The farmer of an hundred acres puts
on his farm in his own labor, in the labor
Of his wife and children, in taxes insur-
ances, &c, $500. And if he takes off
in some marketable produce, or for home
consumption, $500. "The ends meet !"
and if there is no better way he need not
complain; for he is working his way thro'
the world as quietly and as easily as most
men; for the development of high moral
qualities he has the advantage of most
others; and what is more, he has the best
possible means Of training his children to
those habits of industry and frugality
which more than conspire to make them
good men and women and worthy citi-
zens.
Let him not, therefore, complain. But
If there is better way, let him fall into
1t. We do not believe that farming is
necessarily limited to the operation of
putting on $500 and taking off $500, and
living BY the operation, only because what
IS put on is mostly put on in the form of
labor done by the family. If farm will
give $500 with the labor of one man, it
will give a great deal more with the labor
OF two men, and the excess will more than
balance the wages and the board of the
second. Instead of putting on $500, and
taking Of $500, the better way is to put
on 500 and take off $500; and then put
on $500 and take off $1,000. There is
doubtless limit beyond which the income
could not be made to increase above the
expenditures but very few of us are in
danger of going beyond the limit. There
IS much more danger of falling short Of
1t. Our standard is too low. Men are
afraid TO trust their land, lest it should moi
pay them 1t is the best paymaster il
the world.-Hest. Aqr.

From the New E~eiand Farmer
TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER.

Mr.. EDIToR,-Having read seVerai
communications in the Farmer on ma
king good butter, and not seeing any that
comes up to my ideas, l will now give
my practice. Tor rather, that of my wife)
and some of the causes of not making
good butter.
/. Milk should never be set for butter
in a dark, damp cellar-as is the case
with butter makers in this section-as the
cream is thereby moulded before it has
had time to rise, which gives the butter
a mouldy taste.
2. The milk is allowed to set too long
before being skinned, which gives it a
cheesy taste.
5. The cream is kept too long. before
it is churned, after it is skinned, which
gives it the taste of the other two; and
also a sour taste.
4. The butter should never be washed
in water, because it takes away that beau
tiful aroma so essential to good butter.
3. 1t should never be taken in per-
sons warm hands, as the heat melts a
certain portion of the globules, which
gives it an oily taste, and makes it be-
come rancid very soon.
6. The milk should be set in good clean
tin or earthen pans, in dry, open, airy
and shady place, above ground, if posi-
bic, although cellar may be so built, and
ventilated, as to answer the purpose. 1t
should never set over twenty-four hours,
in warm weather; and for a dairy OF
three cows or over, the cream should be
churned every morning, and never be
kept over forty-eight hours, in warm
weather; in cold weather, it may be kept
longer. It should always be about the
same heat that the milk is when drawn
from the COW, and churned steadily, and
1 have never known it to fail of coming
readily; 1--WE use cylinder churn) it is
then taken from the churn with wooden
butter ladle, into a wooden tray, which
has been well scalded and cooled in pure
cold water: the salt is then worked in, to
suit the taste, with the ladle, which is
easily done, with little practice, and tbs
butter-milk well worked out; it is ther
set away in a cool place for about twenty
four hours, when it is well worked ovel
again, as long as milk or pickle can bt
worked out. Butter made in this way
and put down in stone pots, and KEEP
from the air, will keep good for a Ions
time. c. S. W.
