MARING AND PACKING 'BUTTER-A
Personal ExPERIEYcE.-Messrs. Edi.
tors; / noticed some inquiries in the
Farmer few weeks since, in regard TO
the best method of preserving butter !;
whether in stone or wooden vessels.
have tried both and think it depends
more on how the cream is saved, and in
what condition the butter is packed, than
the vessel it is kept in. | will give you
my system of butter making. Keep the
milk in a cool, airy place, never allowing
il TO stand after it has become thick, for
the cream will then grow rancid and
mouldy. Save il in stone jar and stir
it two or three times day. After churn-
ing | work out all the butter milk can,
(but never wash it in water) then salt,
and set it in cool place until morning.
/ then work out all the milk, and it i,
ready TO pack down. We use wooden
tubs mostly, as they are cheaper, and not
likely to get broken in moving about
When get new ones | ill the tubs with
sour milk, (hs will take out any bad
taste from the wood change the milk for
new every day for four or five days. then
wash the tubs dry, and Gil up with strong
pickle and let it set for few days. then
turn out, dry the tub again and it is ready
for use. then take some fine salt, wet
il, rub over the bottom and up around the
sides as far as think the butter will
come; then pat il in and press down as
solid as it can be made to 60. have a
piece Of hard wood plank with a handle
made firm in the middle, rounded and
made smooth at the sides; with this !
press in the butter Then have a bag
with some rock salt wet in to lay on top
the butter ill l want to put in more
This keeps it cool and prevents the air
coming to it. The moisture of the salt
will prevent the layers striking together,
and there will be no dry salt sticking to
it when cut up for use. When the tub
is within an inch of being full, take
piece Of cloth cut to I'll it and lay over the
top; then cover with rock salt in this
way l can keep butter good a year
We make about seven hundred pounds q
year, and never to my knowledge had
any but good, sweet butter.-A BUTTER

ABOUT PoTAToEs.-Some soils pro-
duce several hundred bushels Of the
white, commonly called the Irish, potato,
and there is such a general taste for them
that they are likely 10 continue to be a
very common article Of diet, although not
as valuable or any more heaIthfGl than
many other qualities of food. Three
fourths of the potato is water, so that Of
one hundred pounds only twenty five
pounds are nutriment; the rest is waste.
Almost the entire nutriment is contained
within quarter of an inch of the surface,
Immediately under the skin; hence by
peeling, the very best part Of it, and near
ly all that is valuable, is wasted. Only
the outer skin should be removed-that
which is disposed TO peel of after boiling.
The tendency of potatoes 70 sprout in
the early spring is reported to be prevent
ed in Scotland, and by SO doing, their fall
edible qualities are preserved, and inca
ly" potatoes can be had all summer from
the previous years growth. The exper-
iment costs but little, and is worthy Of
being tested by every one who doubts its
efficacy. Obtain from a Druggist one
ounce of liquor of ammonia (hartshorn)
