STOCK PAYS ALL THE Tiua-1Ac heading
of this article, says the YaA,y Farmer, was
the remark Of an old farmer the other day,
while deporiDg the failure of his wheat crop
One year the wheat fails, another year the
oats fail, another year the corn Ut, said he,
" Stock pays all the time" lie also remark
ed, that the farmers who early gave their at
tenton to stock raising, had gone right along
without set-backS, aud had ouistripp5d the
grain-growerS.
There is no doubt much truth in the old
mans remarks. Stock is the sureSt and most
remuneratye. But in thickly settled regions
it is better and safer to divide the interest be-
tween the two. The two assist each other
and improve the far2 Waste straw aud oAal
of the grain crop,will go far to feed the stock,
will go far in fertiIizing the soil and improv-
ing its capacity for productiveness The
strength Of the soil is q greater desideratum
with the farmer. The soil IS his miue Of wealth
his treasury-his bank Of deposit. lie must
keep it good, or his paper is protcsted his
reputation as a farmer is dishonorcd
1t is well to keep variety Of stock, as well
as raise variety of grain crops. The general
profits Of each year are thus kept nearly equal
Farming may be done closer, less wasted aad
more made.

The Art of Butter Making.

4 Winslow, in the lEaips Farslsr, says
that the farmer should ascertain the character
of his cows milk separately, fattening for beef
those whose milk does not weld good yellow
batter. Then his frkinS shocld be made Of
sweet wood, ash, nipple, OAK or spruce, and
thoroughly saturated with strong pickle work
out all the buttermiIk with a wooden lade !;
then take for seasoning one pound Of good
SALT one half pound of pure white sugar, and
two ounces Saltpeter mix thoroughly together
and use one ounce Of this preparation for every
pound OF butter. The above quantity is sutl
cient for twenty-six pounds OF butter. The
butter should be put into the frkn solid beat
ing it down smooth with a wooden pestle ;
cover 1t with a linen cIoth, saturating the
cloth with sweet hot talloW or heeSwax, tax

cover will exclude the air No salt should be
put between the layers simply stamp down
each layer smoothe with the pestie, and cover
with the cloth until the next layer is ready
Butter packed in this manner will neither
grow soft in warm weather, nor crumble in
cold weather. and is better one year old than
when first made. 1t will sell for from five to
six cents per pound more' than common but.

To DRESS CUCUMBERs.---Take three good
sized cucumbers, pare them, put them in cool
water for an hour, take them out and cut them
in the usual way SpriHkle salt upon them and
let them be SO until an hour before dinner !;
drain off the salt liquor put them into a vege-
table dish. Take pint of sour cream (not
roo oiel) good tablespoonful OF cider vinegar,
a piece of butter the size Of hickory nut !;
put them on the fire and let it come to a boil !;
pour it over the cucumbers whie'hot set them
by in cool place unti dinner. We think it
is the only way to eat them. Try it.-Amer-

STIR THE SoH.-Good farmers are well ac-
quainted with the fact-and an Important fact
III all good farming-that frequent stirring of
the soil in all open GRO rs, is calculated to have
as much effect in producing an abundant yield
as an extra dressing of manure 1t is especi
ally valuable in dry seasons, and the ofener it
is resOrted to, whether iT field or garden, the
more beneficial will be the result As to the
latter it is frequently neglected to q painful
degree, but most generally in small gardens
which arc left to the management OF women.
Thrice as many vegetables c5nh be raised in
many of these small enclosures by stirring the
ground oftea destroying the weeds as fast as
they appear, and SO arranging as to obtain at
least two crops from every part Off
Every family should have net less than
three crops of peas, planting tomatoes between
the rows three crops Of corn, planting celery
between every other row, or cacumbers fog
picking, or citrons for preserving, or cabbage.
Cabbages can be set ont between every two
rows ofpotatoeS turnps will grow among
corn Iettus planrcc can go between cucnmbcrs
and mellon hills, or even in new strawberry
beds The ways to multiply crops in a.smalI
garden are numerous.

To KEEP BUTrER SWEET A correspondent
of the American AgricnlturiSt gives the fol
lowing directions for preserving butter any
lthgth of time. In May or June, when butter
is plenty, work it thoroughly two or three
times, and add at the last working about one
grain of saItpetre and teaspoonful OF pulver-
lied loaf sugar to each pound Of butter. Pack
IL tightly in stone jars to within woinches Of
the top, and ill the remaining space with strong
brine. Cover the jars tightly, and bury them
in the cellar bottom, where the butter will
keep unhurt for q long time.

BLOODY WORK IN SOUTHEASTERN MIS-
SOURI,.

We received from New Madrid yesterday,
letter dated Poplar Bluff, the 18th inst,
from which we learn that that section of the
country is infested by q gang Of desperate
we'll armed men, probably several hundred
strong. The leader of the clan is from South
ern Indiana; goes by the name Of Bill Den
YER and is about twenty years of age.
On Thursday night Of last week, this man,
accompanied by five others, throughly arm
ed, each having brace Of six shooters,
sword and rifle, and mounted on good
horse, made a descent upon farm house
near Poplar Bluff, and were caught while
in the act of stealing the horses from the
stable, situated but few yards from the
house. The farmer instead of raising the
alarm, collected four neighbora, and with
them, all having rifles, challenged the
thieves with, what are you doing here?"
Leave" was the reply, "or We'll send you
out on the night train"
In moment more they fired three shots,
one ball striking a farmer in the shoulder,
and then started for their horses, but while
untying them, were fired upon by the far
mers, and one of them fell. The desperadoos
returned the fire. and then fed. After u
severe fight the wounded man was captured,
taken to the house, where in d few hours, he
died, without disclosing his name, and With
out groan. Before dying, however, he
confessed that the clan had a regular organ
ization and that it was sufficiently nun!er-
Gus and we'll enough armed to whip any two
counties in southeast Missouri and he adj
monished the people to beware, for there
was bloody work for them to do and that
speedily. - Cairo Camp Register Of the. 18Th.
