How To MAKE Coon BUTTER-A CORES,
pondent of the New England Farmer furnishes
that paper with the following rules for making
good butter:
J. Milk should never be set for butter in a
dark, damp cear-as is the case with the but.
ter makers in this sectiOn-as the cream is
thereby moulded before it has had time to rise,
which gives the butter mouldy taste
g. The milk is allowed to set too long be-
fore being SKINNED, which gives it cheesy taste
g. The cream is kept too long before it is
churncd, after it is skinned, which gives it the
taste of the other two and also a sour taste.
A. The butter should never be washed in wa
ter, because it takes away that beautiful aro-
ma so essential to good butter
5. 1t should never be taken in persons
warm hands, as the heat mcltS certain portion
of the globules which gives it an oily taste,
and makes it become rancid very soon.
6. The milk should be set in good clean tin
or earthcn pans, in dry, open, airy and shady
place, above ground, if possible although eel
lar may be so built and ventilated, as to an
swer the purpose. 1t should never set over
twcnty-four hours, in warm weather and for
a dairy of three COWS or over, the cream
should be churned every forty-eight hours, in
warm weather in cold weather it may he

1t should always be about the same heat

fail of coming steadily 1--WE use a cylinder

a wooden butter lade, into wooden tray

the taste, with the ladle, which is easily done
with a little practice, and the butter milk well

HAVE You Built A MANURE SHED ?-You
have often seen remarks in the papers of the
superior quality of manure made under cover.
Has the thought occurred to yOu that yon
might make this article as well as your neigh
bors You might easily run up cheap shed,
covered with boards or slabs, on each side of
the barn yard If you had these sheds, most
of the manHre would be dropped under them,
and all the muck deposited there would be turn
ed to the best account Three are few cattle
that will not prefer Il shed to open air in stor-
my weather even in Summer. If you have not
put up these sheds, now is Il good time to get
the timber for them.
BY all means hnid COOL substantial shed
if you have the timber upon your farm. 1t is
not a very expensive affair, when yon are once
about it, The wood yon have for the drawing
The bill for saving will not he very heavy
The saw-mills and shingles are not far distant
4 few pounds of nails, and the carpenter for
a day or two, with your own help, will complete
the job. Can't you not afford it. Well, dis
pcnse with the carpenter, then and the nails,
and build cheaper still. you can least get some
long poles for the ridge, and good many shor-
ter ones for the rafterS, and make skeleton
roof Now cover this with refuse straw or
sea-wecd, thick enough to she'd the rain, and
you have q shed great deal better than none.
A Friend of ours has tried the difference the
past season, between manure under cover and
that made in open yard. He spread equal guam
titles on equal areas Of ground, and planted
with corn. That there might be no unfairnesS,
he followed up the two plots of ground with
the same cultivation. lie did not have to wait
until harvest to make up his mind that shelter
ing manure was good economy. The corn
where he PUT in the manure made under cover
was far more luyuriant to look upon, came on
faster and maturcd earlier, and the yield was
about one-third more of good sound corn.
He has since put up two manure sheds, and
we think has begun course of Improvement
that will not end with sheds. They are cheap
affairs, but a good beginning. They will give
him twenty cords of undluted manure, instead
of the same amount of washed and leached ma
nure he has been accustomed to put on his
land. lie has begun to use muck and to
gather up the dropping in the yard every morn
ing, and put them under cover. The manure
sheds will pay good interest. Let them be put
up this winter-1mericam Agriculturid, FEB.

the past four years is twenty our-On fourth ofthe

ceived the education at Normal, which was neces-

Eight of the twenty graduates are engaged in
teaching, and exerting an influence that will tell
for good for the future of Methodism; while all of
them occupy positions of usefulness to society.

The SPIDER AND THE ToAD-A CURIOUS INCIDENT.
The following singular relation is furnished by
correspondent of the boston 7rauelLer, as having
been witnessed by person now living, though o.
curing more than forty years ago, about sixteen
miles from this city,
The narrator said, that while walking in the field
he saw large field spider, considered of the most
venomous Species contending with commonsized
toad. The spider, being quick n its movements,
would get upon the back Of the toad and bite it,
when the toad with its fore paw, would drive off the
spider. 1t would then hop to plantain which was
growing by, and bite it, and then returned to
the spider After seeing this repeated several times
and noticing that each time the toad was bitten it
went back to the pantain the spectator thought he
would pull up the plantain and watch the result
He did So Being again Bitten and the plantain not
to be found the toad soon began to swell and show
other indications of being poisoned, and died in
short time. If the plantain, which grows so abun-
dainty near almost every dwelling in this vicinity,
was such an immediate and effectual remedy to the
toad for the bite Of the spider not reasonably
infer that it would be efectual cure for man for
the bite of the same insect?

SOUTHERN PUBLIsnING.-We publish in another
place article giving idea of the publishing bust
ness in Richmond. We are confident it exceeds the
highest estimate place upon it by our readers. In
the publishing Of law books, especially it is not i'm.
probable that Richmond will at no distant day rival
the most Of the Northern cites.
A great deal has been said within the last few
years about the proprety and necessity Of publish
ing Southern text books better adapted to schools
than any that have hitherto been publish at the
North. In most of their books, where the warp Of
the subject would any how admit Of it, there has
This is said to be the with regard to Waylands
Moral Science. Porter's Rhetorical Reader, though
a work whose rules seem to be perfect, is yet open
to the same charge And in all their biographies,
there is abundant opening for the ardent slavery
authors to make filings at negro servitude, and for
the ingenious engraver to furnish cuts to order de-
picng the negro in pitiabe and woe begone attitudes
wearing such aspects of AFFECTION as are never
really seen. The ideas they attempt to propagate
about slavery generally caricatures and libes.
There never better time than the present
for establishing firm basis system of textbook
making suited to our wants. There are halfdozeL
Southern cities anxious to enter on the publishing
business; they have the workmen, materials, we
suppose some capital, which they anxious to in
crease, and only lack orders for the work.
In almost every branch of literature and science
we have the authors those who by their literary
scientific qualifications are capable Of turning their
labors to good account.
The matter only requires little attention-the
people are ripe for it, and even though it may at
first be necessary to ask trihe more in price, the
demand we believe would be cheerfully complied
paper superior to that which northern schools books
printed on, and better bound. We hope to see
the work commenced soon.
