March and April seem to have changed

of cold, wet, disagrsosblo weather in =

The Right Way to Make Butter.

EDITOR DEMoCRAr As the season of
tho year is at hand, for making butter one
of the great staples of the Western Ro-
serve, few hints in regard to it, may be OF
value to some of your readers. Tho way
that butier.makiug is carried on by many
lsrmUs III this section, 10 buch as to produce
an article of very inferior quality. will
endeavor to give description OF tho man
nsr in which many tarnero mako buttor,
aud which very much dcpreciStes its value.
The milk is brought from the yard, and Get
in any place that is convenient hot or cold,
and allowed to stand until it's loGberod and
thin. Tho croan is takOn off, and stands
till it is bitter and nearly mouldy; then ii
is churnod. II is impossible to make good
! butter, when the milk and cream is allowed
to stand in the way above described. But
! to finish, il ia taken from the ch%rD, sailed
with coarse barrel salt, and tho buttermilk
about half worked out, and is thon packed
| in pail or crock. The noxt churning ID
managed in tho same way, aud so on for two
or three churnings, und then tho whole Is
brought to market.
Instead of managing as above, think the
following method much better: Whom the
milk is brought from the yard, it should tt
strained in tin, stone or glass pans, thai
have been thoroughly washed and sealded
and set in n cool place, whom tho weather i.
warm, and the cream should DO taken of
before the milk is changed. and churned as
sooh as taken off. IL should be worked
oyor once, aud sailed, not with barrol salt
but with Ashton's Liverpool Salt. 1t should
then be worked at least twice, and, it the
buttermilk is not then all worked out, i.
should be worked till it is. II should then
bo made into rolls, instead of being pack cd
into anything in mass; for every churninl
of butter, for tho hrst few weeks after cow
are turned out to grass, is of u diiferon
color, and, if it's packed, it cannot bo sep
aTated, and, when it s carried to market, il
Is not in good condition to handle and sort
so as to be fit for packing. When butter il
packed for shipping, it should be of uniform
color, which it is impossible to havo, if thos,
who mako it pack it in crooks or pals, a
fast Ss made. 1t is also worry necessary tina
the buttermiIk DO all worked out, as it sour
the butter in warm weather, Great car
should be taken not to use too much salt
Water should not bo used ip any case, no
should thcre be any saltpctre or sugar eve
put iuto it. X.

The Rescue Cases.

The trial of Langston, which was sus-
pended while the SupremeCourt were con.
sidering the application for writ Of ha-
Jeas corpuS, has been resumed, and is
now approaching its termination,
The Supreme Court unanimously over
ruled the application for writ of hateos
corpus, on the ground that the cases were
still pending in the U. s. District Court.
No opinion was expressed by the Court,
in regard 10 the constitutionaliLy Of the
Fugitive Slave Law. The decision was
made upon technical grounds, the Court
dceming the application premature.
We cannot concur with such Of our
friends as are disposed TO censure the Su-
preme Court for their refusal TO grant
the prayer Of the Oberlin prisoners,
especially as it has not been shown that,
in legal point Of view, their decision was
wrong. 1t should not be forgotten that
the members OF that Court are bound by
their official oaths, to administer the law
as they find it, without regard TO their own
private views or feelings. We, as Repub'
iIcans, have justly censured the ms jority
