The Democracy have tried hard to make cap
ital out of the war question of the British out
RACES, but the position of the leading Republi-
cans equally in favor of defending our rights,
has taken all the wind out of their sails.

Mr.. Boycc, Sir, A friend of mine says to
prevent crows pulling up corn, take lot of
old newspapers and spread them out two or
rods apart, placing small stones on each cor
ner, throughout the field, and not crow will
dare approach the premises.

The Rutland Courier takes SO largely from
our columns, for the edifcation of its readers,
that we shall soon be tempted to write editorials
en- purpose for its republication. Its columns
the past week are about one-third devoted to
our humble sheet, which especially gratifcs our
ambition; but we have few remarks to make
for the Courier's especial benefit. 1t has, for
some time, tried hard to get its great nose into
a muss with the Republicans Possessed Of
nothing which we can call integrity or moral
obligation, it perverts or Whites any and every
thing out of which it can hope to make capital.
1t has meddled with the discussion as to the
probable action of the Republican Convention,
with perseverance only known to old dog No
BILE, of empty-hole days.
As to our opposition to Mr.. Hall, or any 9TH
er man, as candidate for Governor, the Courier
is informed that we oppose no man Of Republic
can principle. If Mr.. Holbrook, Mr.. Hall, Or
Others are hostile to the principles of the Re-
publican party, as the Courier has represented,
why, we should oppose them. But we care happy
to be informed, from reliable authority, that Mr..
Hall not only does not endorse such doctrine as
the Courier and its right-hand ally, the Bur-
lington Times, promulgates, but cordiallyan
heartily sympathises with the high anti-savery
and temperance grounds now occupied by the
Republican party and is in favor of their care
full nurturmg against all side issues Fhisys to
us as welcome news as it may be unwelcome to
the Courier. And we further inform the Cour-
Ter that its operations are doing as much to the
more firm consolidation of the Republican party
as any one small concern can do

COOP News FROM IILlNoIs.-For q time it was
feared that the attempt of the Administration
to buy up Douglas would be successful but the
news from his own State leads us to think that
it has not succeeded. So the Douglas Democracy
have their choice to go alone, or with the Re-
pubicans. If they go alone, they will be but
small party, of no significance; if with the
Republicans, they will be treated as equals,
among the mass of great party.

Increasing tbs Quantity Of Cream.


A gentlemen in Brussels, Mr. Bakaert,
sometime since assured the public that he
had at least been successful in his efforts to
discover process for increasing the quantity
of cream from milk. The process by which
this is accomplished is as folows:-
To every two quarts of milk, add table
spoonful of liquid made by dissolving in a
quart of water one ounce of carbonate of
soda, one tea-spoonful Of curcuma, or tuner
ic, and three drops of marigold water is add.
ed. The action of the soda is, according to
Mr.. Bakaert, to cause greater quantity Of
cream to be separated from the milk than
would otherwise be; while the other ingre-
dients render the quality and color of the
butter superior to that of butter produced in
the ordinary way.
We are not satisfied that this boosted dis
covery will be of any great utility, after all.
1t is somewhat difficult to conceive how the
carbonate of soda can produce the action Or
result which, III this case is attributed to it.
AS to "coloring" and "favoring,' butter,
when the latter is properly made, it is to be
regarded as of piece with gliding refined
gold" or to sdd perfume to the violet. The
milk of COWS, judiciously kept, if we'll mana
ged. will always produce butter Of a good
color and flavor, and the attempts Of some to
render their butter more saleable in the prin-
cipal markets, by eoloring it with pigmeats
Of various kinds, is, at best questionable as
to its utility, and generally to be deprecated
as decided injury to the article when it is
to be kept any time before being used.
In paper now before us, we notice an
article in which the yellow Altringham car
rot is recommended as an excellent article
for coloring butter! The yolks of eggs, and
otto, are also used in some localities, for this
purpose, as are various other vegetables and
s1rugs. Every thing added to good butter,
after little salt,-hurts its keeping quail
tiles, changes that sweet delicious taste that
good butter always has, causes it sooner to
become rancid, and depreciates its true value.

THE ELDER BUsH.-Va Valuable Hint. 1t
is not known to many persons that the COM
mon elder bush of our country-s a great
safeguard to plants against the devastation
of bugs.
If any one will notice. it will be found
that worms, flies bugs Or insects never touch
the elder. This fact was the initial points
for experiments of an Englishman in 1894,
and communicated the results of his expert
ments to London Magazine Accident ex-
humed this old work, and Kentucky cores
pondent last year communicated to the Dol
lar Newspaper copy of the article.
The practical results of his experiments as
asserted by the English experimenter are :
that the leaves of the elder, scattered over
.cabbages, cucumbers, squashes, and other
plants subjuct to the ravages of insects effec-
tually shields them. The plum and other
fruits subject to the ravages of insects may
be saved by placing upon the branches and
through the tree, branches of elder leaves
Will not some of our friends try these ex-
perimentet
