~ IENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
NJ properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented It's administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual 1sodus epsrGs,dT Of prescribing IL, either
in the form of an Emulsion or Geatinous Cap
sules has not been found satisfactory, beng liable
10 some objection, either from the difficulty expe
rienced by some individuals in the deglutiton OF
the Capsule or the small quantity ofCopaiba gen.
orally found in the Emulsion. Ea'ai
Joyce's tasteless solution Of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet Introduced 10 the
medical profession, it contains 80 per. cent OF
the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or SMELL
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists IN the old anc
new worlds TO contain all the medicinal proper
ties Of Basam Copaiba without its dlsagreahe
characteristics.

G~RICULTURAL
New Process OF Making Butter


At the late Fair of the New York State
Agricultural Society, the following new
discovery in b~ntter-making was made
public.
There is one of the process of manu-
facture so unlike all others, that | deem
it highly worthy of publication as a new
discovery, and give 1t in the discoveries
w words and, since he has thoroughly
proved his success; | earnestly advise all
butter-makers to try the new plan. The
sample furnished is fresh and perfectly
sweet. The statement dated Water
town n. Y, Sept. 80, 1866 says:
This sample of butter is made by my
improved methcd, whereby every drop of
water OF buttermilk is taken out of it by
solar evaporation, In this process | claim
to have so perfected but,er-making, that
butter may be kept sweet several years,
without the rancid odor caused by the de-
composition of water and buttermilk that
pervades most of the butter of the present
time.
The following is an outline of my
improved process; Firstly, in churning
the'cream, enough ice should be put into
it occasionally to make the butter come in
crumbs; pour off the buttermilk, and wash
the butter several times in soft ice water
until there ceases to be any milky appear
ance. During the process Of washing,
should there be a solid lump of butter
large enough to contain a cell of fluid, that
lump should be crushed while in the wa
ter, and broken into a corresponding size
with the other crumbs, Lastly, wash il in
brine made of rock salt, saltpeter, soft
water and ice skim the crumbs out of
the brine with a skinner; drain each
skinner full well, and spread the crumbs
of butter on zinc plates Gin cold weather
wooden tables will do Unsteady. In very
warm weather the zinc plates should be
set ON ice water. While the crumbs are
spread out thinly, place the butter in the
middle of a milk room; open all the win
dows, ard a current Of air passing over II
will evnporate all the moisture in warm

Cheap vinegar.

The juice of one bushel of sugar beets,
which any farmer can raise with little cost
will make from five to six gallons of vine-
gar, equal to the best made of elder wine.
First wash and CRATE the beets, and ex-
press the juice in a cheese-press, or in
any other way which a little ingenuity
can suggest, and put the liquor into a bar
rel cover the bung with gauze and set
it in the sun, and in fifteen or twenty
days it will be fit for use. BY this method
the very best of vinegar can be obtained
without any great trouble or expense, and
of a much better quality than the stuff
sold at the shops, much of which is muri-
attic acid, or acids of a still more poisonous
quality.

Care should be taken not to have any other
moisture, such as water on the floor, or

the butter is perfectly dry, pack it down
Immediately let there be no more work.
ing of IT than is necessary to pack 1t solid
in a jar or tub. This will secure unbro-
ken the crystals Of butter and its original
flavor. As neal as ] can ascertain there
will not exceed one ounce Of salt to ten
pounds of butter, by the process Of brine
sailing. As Il general thing, in making
for hospitals, equity invalids and sick per-
sons, the sailing process should be omitted
altogether. Butter made in this way
(without sult) if sealed in cans or jars and
placed in an atmosphere or chamber of
bin-oxide of nitrogen, | believe, will keep
any practical number of years.
81 have also a new butter-tub which |
hoped to be- able TO present to you, but
sickness has prevented me this year. II
is a butter-tub (turned in halves, opening
in the middle like a matchbox, circular
tenon), made Of ordinary porous wood,
%kiln-dried, then placed in an air chamber,
and after exhausting the air, inject a solu-
ton of stone, which by atmospheric pres
sure will penetrate the pores of the wood
which becomes p%etriied and coated with
stone, without increasing the weight of
the package over six to eight per cent.
The tub will be air-tight and possess all
the qualities of a stone jar.
ID. MINTHoRN.
If this entirely new process proves
equally successful with other persons, one
of the most important desiderata of the
age will have been achieved, since it is
estimated that farmers suffer an average
loss of five cents Il pound upon all butter
made in the United States in consequence
of not freeing it of milk and water, which
are the sole cause of its rancidity and |
sure that consumers will hail Mr..
Minthorn as one of the b~enefactors of the
age. The Committee, who are all practi-
cal, good judges, speak of the discovery
in high terms. The new process of manu-
featuring butter-tubs is also worthy of
consideration.

How to Make Tea Properly.

The proper way to make a cup Of good
tea IS a natter of some importance. We
would recommend the trial of the following
manner:
Fill the teapot up with boiling water,
then put the tea into the pot, and allow il
to stand for five minutes before it is used ;
the leaves gradually absorb the water and
as gradually sink TO the bottom; the result
is that the leaves are not scalded, as they
are when boiling water is poured over
them, and you get all the true flavor of the
tea. In truth, much less tea is required
IN this way than under the old and common
practice

consideration.

We give below a receipt for washing,
which the inventor claims to be the best
mode yet discovered, and are of the opin-
ion that it will save much labor, and would
advise its trial by all of our readers:
To every pound of hard soap, add from
one-half to th~ree-quarters of an ounce cf
COMMON borax, with one quart of water.
the water into any convenient vessel
upon the stove, add the borax, somewhat
pulverized, and then put in the soap cut
up in thin pieces. Keep them hot-but not
boiling-for two or three hours, or until
the whole is dissolved, and then set it
aside TO cool, when a solid mass will be
formed. If the vessel is set upon the warm
stove at night the operation will be COM
pleted in the morning, though we think it
better to stir the mass Just before it is
cooled.
The night before washing, rub the
clothes where most soiled, with the soap,
and soak in water till morning. This
soap which has been more than doubled
in quantity, will go quite as far for bulk
as the original, thus saving ut least one
half. The boiling and washing are to be
performed in the usual manner but it
viii be found that the labor of rubbing is
diminished three-fourths, while the usual
caustic or eating effect is lessened and
the hands retain a peculiar soft and silky
feeling even after a large washing. The
preparation is adapted to all kinds of ia
bries, cclored or uncolored, including fan
nels and it is thought to increase their
Wilderness. BY using this preparation.
with the previous soaking wei night, we
have had sixteen dozen pieces early in
the forenoon, when by the old process il
would have been ian all days Job"
