TO SWEETIN RANCID BUTTER.

An Agriculturist, near Brussels, having
succeeding in removing the bad smell and
dsagreeable taste of somc butter, by
beating or mixing it with chloride OF lime,
he was encouraged by this happy result
to continue his experiments, by trying
them upon butter so rancid as to be past
use; and he has restored to butter, til {
olor and taste Of which was nsupporta.
bic, all the sweetness OF fresh butter The
operation is extremely simple aud practi-
cable for all. It consists in beating the
butter in sufficient quantity OF water,
into which had been mixed 25 or3O drops
Of chloride of lime to two pounds of but
ter, After having brought all its parts in
contact with the water, it may be left for
IN hour OF two afterwards withdrawn and
washed anew in fresh water. The chlor-
ide of lime used, having nothing injurious
in it, can safely be increased but after
verifying the experiment it was found that
% or 80 drops to two and half pounds
OF butter, was sufficient.

CURRANT JELLY.

Pick Cue red and large ripe curranis
from the stem, bruiso them and strain
the juice from quart at time through
ain muslin pressing it gently to get all the
lidaid. Put . pound of white sugar to
each pound Of juice stir it until it is all
dissolved set it over gentle fire; let it
become hot and boil for fifteen minutes ;
then try it by taking a spoonful into a
saucer. When cold, if it is not quite firm
enough, boil it for few minutes longer.
It may be made by standing in the sun,
without boiling, if put in very warm
place, and is generally Of much better
color than when cooked by the fire.

Farmers Depar tment.
THE PEACH CURL.

hic. j. Kirkpatrick in a late number Of
Tie Ohio farmer communicates the follow
ing views on this subject;
LAST year a species Of aphis occurred
in considerable numbers on peach trees
affected with the curl, and the diseased
leaves prosecuted many small discolored
spots on the mdrid evidently resulting
from the punctures Of this insect This
yoar the curl did not occur until several
leaves were developed, and the wood had
grown four or FIVE inches in length
These older leaves were left unhurt, but
the young ones just growing were much
curled and will soon fall. The cause this
year appeared to be the sudden o(ll i'm
modiately succeeding the warm weather of
May, chilling the sap and producing dis
oased state Of the vegetable tissues. The
curl has been known for n long time in
Eogland, and is described under different
names. When the leaves are said to be
clustered" the cause is supposed to be
cold weather after warm but Abererom-
bic, in 1891, discovered a species of curl
which he supposed was caused by an ap.
his. We know that insects often cause
analogous diseases of the leaves of various
plants, and it is probable that peach ap-
his may produce certain kind Of curl in
the leaf Of this tree, ard also that sudden
changes Of temperature will produce a
dlosely resembling tha other. Should it
be shown at some future period that We
have more than one kind Of curl, the eff.
leols of different causes, it will 60 far TO
explain why there has been SO much diver
silo Of opinion on the subject.
The aphis has not appeared this year !;
at least have Eot observed any Of them.

uOEING CABBAGES.

We were recently in a garden OF a
friend, who is an early riser. On allud-
ing to the vigorous growth and healthy
appearance of his Cabbager and colilowers
he remarked;
If you want good cabbogor, you must
hoe them every morning before FIVE o'clock,
This was intended as a gentle hint that he
thought we did not get up in the morning
as earloy as good gardener should
But be this as it may, there can be no
doubt that cabbagos and all similar plants
are greatly benefited by repeated hoeings
