intended for keeping several
months, as used by the Ayrshire
dairymen, is half an ounce OF
salt mized with ten drachms of
refined sugar, and ten drachms of
inter to every sixteen ounces OF
fresh butter. The sugar improves
the taste, and the inter gives the
butter a better color, while both
of them act with the salt in pre-
serving the butter from rancidity.
Both the sugar and inter should,
however, used with great caution,
and should not exceed the guam
tIty stated above, otherwise the
butter acquires a peculiar disa-
greeable taste. The whole three
Ingredients are we'll mixed togeth-

nutely mixed, if not, the parts
that missed the salt will be white,
and the other parts yellow.
But although It's necessary that
the salt. &c., be carefully kneaded
through the butter, care must be
taken not to bake or knead it too
much, otherwise it gets into a
stare like putty, and becomes
tough and gluey. The great point
is cleanliness. Extreme atten-
ton should be given to the scald.

CURING BUTTER.

At the commencement of the
grazing season, those who have
large dairy ,arms, as well as these
farmers who make moderate
quantities OF butter, should adopt
such methods of making it as
will insure the very best qualities.
A correspondent OF the Canadian
AgricuIturist states that the fol-
lowing is the method Of treating
butter in the west of Scotland.
He says
"Whenever the butter is made
in the churn, ii is removed from
the butter-milk, and washed in
at least three or four changes o.
cold spring water. If the butter
is very soft, and the weather hot,
it should be allowed 10 lie for ten
minutes or so in the cold water,
to harden, before il is much beat
en-: after this il must be kneaded
with the skimmlng dish, till every
particle of buttermilk is expelled;
after which, and while the butter
is yet soft, il ought to be sslted.

FEED FOR FARM HORSES.

From the American Agriculturist.l
When was a boy in the north
of Vermont, we used to feed dry
hay and oats, unless the horse
had the heaves, which was very
common among them at that
time, owing to feeding too much
dry hay and oats, and driving too
fast when full. We then sup
posed they ought to have hay be-
fore them all the time. This Is
a false idea: all kinds of animals
will do better on regular meals.
Farmers usually feed too much
dry hay. You may keep horse
eating all the time and not have
it thrive. came to Massachu-
setts about IL years ago, and was
engaged in the tean.ing business
about 7 years. / began to feed
cut hay and corn meal, and found
the horses would do more work
and last longer, and be in better
condition than when kept on dry
feed. Cracked corn and oats
make very good feed for noon.
when in hurry. would feed
carrots all winter in small quan
titles, especially to young horses
and breeding mares. This keeps
them in a healthy condition.
Team horses may be fed on them
once each day to advantage. |
am not able to state the amount
each horse SHOULD be fed: this
depends on the size and age OF
the animal. would advise all
owners to keep their horses, es-
pecial.y those they use, in good
condition. it costs less In the end.
Colts ought not to have much
grain, unless very thln In HeSh;
they are often injured by graining
A few ground oats, with cut hay
or straw wet and mixed, and
halt a pint OF ashes added once
in two or three weeks is all colts
need besides hav. The ashes
keep the bowels open, and, 1t Is
sud. free from worms. II living
in Maine or Vermont where hay
and oats are heap, | would have
the oats ground, and cut a portion
of my hay and straw to mix
with what grain | ted, and con
slider myself we'll paid Tor the
time and trouble.

1T PAYS TO TAKE CARE OF
IMPLEMENTS.

From the American Agriculturist.I
There is danger lest, in the
hurry of work, tools large and
small, will be exposed to rain and
sun. When so neglected, great
harm is done them. The wood.
work shrinks, and cracks. and
rois, and the iron work rusts and
Is liable 10 break. Such imple.
menis are disagrees bic to work
with, and they are continually
going to decay. We believe il
would be a saving of money, in
the long run, to take time, even
IN the busiest season, to clean
and house daily all implements
of the farm and the garden.
The proper care of tools in.
wolves the painting ofthose which
are ever exposed TO the weather
such as carts. sleds, wagons. horse
rakes, etc. This may seem a
trifing matter to some careless
farmers, but il is one of great
consequence. We wish to cite
the testimony of a practical man.
in the Rural New Yorker, which
is right to the point. He says.

READING FOR FARMERS.
fFrom ths scientifc Ameriean. ]

Clorer is an important crop. |
In no better way can soil be fer
tilized than by turning under
heavy growth Of it. The first OF
this month is a good time to scat
ter seed over old meadows and
pastures, and especially on winter
grain fields. Choose the first still
morains, when the ground Is full
OF little frost cracks, and sow lib
eraIly with or without herd grass
seed-with it If designed for a
meadow or pasture for two or
three years. The seed falls into
the frost openings, and Is finely
covered in thawing. We have
seldom failed Of a good "catch'
by this method.
Corn.-Good seed, and either
good soil or plenty ofmanure, are
the essentials. Corn is one OF
the seeds most readily injured by
dampness or heatIng-In the
shock or crib. 1t is always best
10 test an average sample selected
from the whole seed in advance,
by sprouting in warm soil. Ii is
much better to do tlis than to
risk the loss of crop, or of ma
nv hills. The seed is the least
part of the expense. Corn is
gross feeder, and revels In plenty
OF manure of any kind. 1t is a
sun plant, and not a water one.
Rich land, warm and dry-drain-
ed if at all needed, Is what fills
the corn cIib-and the purse.
A heavy sod turned under Is a
good place for corn roots TO revel
In.
Draining.-~t pays" is the
testimony Of hundreds Of our old
readers who followed our earnest
advice and suggestions years ago.
While waiting for sun and wind
to dry out wet land, lay plans to
prevent such delays in future, and
execute these plans at the earliest
practicable moment. Air Is es-
sential to roots growing In soil.
Air and water can not both be
there at once. Warmth is equal
ly necessary, but rapid or slow
evaporation of water from the
surface is like an ice bath.
Horses.-lnure them to hard
work gradually. Have merci-
ful harness; hard spot or badly
adjusted draught may give them
constant pain, and consequent
loss Of flesh, and produce seri-
Gus calling or sore. More work;
more strengthening grain. Wash
ing off mud and sand from the
feet and rubbing down at night,
will give them comfort and vlgor,
and may save scratches or other
sores. Mares near foaling can
not do hard work and bear good
progeny: a hard days drive may
take $40 from the value of colt.
Sorqo. = Prepare the soil
the same as for corn, and plant
as early as the ground and season
will admit, covering very lightly.
We prefer 81 feet drills, the seed
sown thickly, and when well
started, thin out to 10 or II inches
apart In the row, leaving the best
stalks.
Tools.-We can not too often
impress the fact, that two' men
with first-rate implements will do
as much as three men with poor
ones, while the difference in cost
snot great. To be short OF
good implements is the worst
economy, especially in these
times OF scarcity of help, and
high wages.
Trees add 10 the beauty, COM
fort, and salable value OF a farm.
A purchaser will pay much more
for farm with a few well ar
ranged trees; it looks better Ia
him, though he may not notice
why. Fruit trees are OF course
doubly valuable.

"There is evidently to be an active

In the mean time they can bag much
plumber and cause much sorrow and heart
breaking to our people, by expeditions
through thinly peopled regions, destitute
Of troops. They can also force more
and more Of our people within their lines
to take their oath for quiet life and
save their property from confscation.-
Thus they can demoralize and rob US
within our own borders, preparing all the
while for serious assaults and delivering
them just when they are ready and where
they choose.
1T is hard to say at what point they
are most active just now. If one looks
southwestern it would seem that the
state Of Mississippi is the region Of the
most extensive operations. Immense ar
mics are gathering in and around Vieks-
burg, and while preparations are in prog
ress for new assault on that place, the
back country is devastated and the peo7
pie plundered by cavalry raids, but at
the very same moment Charleston is
kept on the qui vtre by energetic prep
arations for another attack by sea or
land, or both at once The object may
be only to prevent Gen, Beauregard
from sending away any Of the troops
which now defend Charleston.
At the same instant, Burnside threat
