WHITE sPCKs IN BUTTER.


A lady correspondent of the Genesee
Farn,U suggests remedy for this ugly
defect in the "white luxury "I have
found" says she, that Whenever a current
of air has come directly upon the milk,
that the cream would become hardened in
small specks on the surface, which the
process of churning would not break, and
they would become incorporated in the
butter. In windy weather these particles
are the most quickly formed.
My remedy for this defect is not to
allow draught of air direct upon the
milk, nor to allow the milk to stand so
long that the action of the atmosphere will
harden the cream but to skim it as soon
as sour, and, if possible, before the milk
thickens. A tablespoonful of salt is thrown
into a jar--which is kept in a cool place.
into which the cream is put and briskly
stirred, whenever cream is put in, with a
stick kept in the jar for the use, until
sufficient is accumulated for churning.-
The cream is put into the churn, after it
has been well soaked in warm or cold wa.
ter, as the weather admits-adding to the
cream quart or two of new or sweet milk,
which, in cold weather, is heated sufi-
ciently to warm the cream. This obviates
the necessity of standing the churn in a
warm corner until the cream is ut proper
temperature for churniDg, and the addition
Of the milk thins the cream, so that when
the butter forms it will be perfectly clear.
Sometimes, when the buttermilk begins to
separate, water in thrown in, little at a
time, but never when sufficient sweet
milk has been added before CHI mi lg.-
The churping is always done in short
time. Butter that is put down for mar
ket should have as little water used about
it as possible.
"When observe these rules, I always
have solid, golden-colored butter, free
from white specks, which, when properly
packed, with all the bttermilk worked out,
will keep sweet as long as you my desire,
and be fit for the daintiest palate"

CULTIVATION OF CORN.

As the farmers will soon he called upon
to prepare for corn planting and cultiva-
ton, word or two on the subject, based
upon practical experience, may prove in
teresting to some of our readers.
My plan is as follows Il plow the
ground in the fall to the depth of six or
eight inches, then prepare rich compost
of hog manure and good loan. In the
spring turn my compost heap thoroughly,
so as to have it we'll incorporated.
l harrow the ground once with heavy
spike harrow, and afterwards harrow or
pulverizo with large four horse cultiva-
tor, working it both ways. The use of
the spike harrow is then continued until
the ground is perfectly mellow.
The ground is marked out four feet each
way, and shovel full Of the compost
already referred to, divided between three
hills, or l apply about four table spoons
full of Baugh's Rawbone Phosphate to
each hill. From six to eight grains are
planted in hill. When the plants have
attained the height of four inches, I weed
out to four stalks in hill, and keep the
ground mellow with the cultivator.
By this simple method, have increased
ed my corn crop from fifty to seventy
bushels to the acre. This increase at.
tribute to two causes. First, the deep
plowing and thorough pulverization and
second, to the application of the fertilizer.
The young plants start at once and
vigorously. Having something to feed
upon, and well prepared soil for the
roots to penetrate, the wire worm is head
ed off, and the birds are not so likely to
disturb the grains as when the termination
is slow,-Farmer anil Gardener.

HUNGARIAN GRASSS INJURI

GUS TO HORSES.-An Illinois cor
respondent of the Anserican Agr,cuhu, is,
states that the last winter several horses
became seriously afflicted with stiffness of
the joints. They had been kept in good
condition on Hungarian grass, and from
the fact of other horses that had been fed
on hay, being exempt from the disease, the
general belief is, eating Hungarian grass
was the cause ofit-not perhaps the hay
itself, but the seed. He thinks it ought tc
be cut while in full bloom.
