Twas Jolly old pedagogue long ago,
Tall, and slender, and sallow, and dry;
His form was'bent and his gait was slow,
And his long, thin hair was white as snow,
But a wonderful twinkle shone in his eye;
And he sang every night as he went to bed 3,
"Let US be happy down here below;
The living should live though the dead be
Dead"
Bald the Jolly old pedagOgu0, long ago.
He taught the scholars the rule fthTee,
Reading and writing and history, too;
He took the little ones on his knee,
For O kind old heart In his breRs: had he,
And the wants Of the littlest child he
knew;
"Learn while you're young, The often said,

With roses and woodbine over the door;

And my friends and relatives here below

How to make good Butter

Although every year there are published
many ways to make the best butter, there is in
fact no new way as the best quality of butter
has been made many years, and the way to make
it long ago found out There are certain rules,
which if fully carried out, no one need to COM
plain of having poor butter. In the first place,
we all know that there must be cleanliness in
everything pertaining to butter making, To-,
there is nothing that will take and retain bad
odor so quick as butter; and unceanliness is
the one great secret of its flavor when it is faint
ed. The only way, then, to obviate this diff
| Guilty, is to observe perfect cleanliness Great
pains should be taken with the milk pans they
should always be thoroughly steamed and clean
| ed, and likewise the churn that too, should be
thoroughly overhauled, steamed and scrubbed,
| and should be kept In good order. I have ref
| erence now to those cases where these impor-
tant requisites have not been attended to, as is
too often the case. Then, again too much care
| cannot be taken in milking oftentimes the
stables are really filthy, and this, of course, has
| bad effect as there is hardly anything so SEN
sitive as milk. Two bad habits in milking
should be discontinued, milking with wet teats,
and milking in the rain.
Only pure, clean cellar will do to keep milk
in. When the cream is churned, it should be
Immediately taken out, and worked slowly with
cool, clean water, for the acids which are in
nara water are sure TO De taken up by the but
| ter, to great extent. The butter must be
worked slowly, till the milk is all out of it. and
great care should be taken not to work it toe
much but the milk must all be worked out Of
it, or it will turn sour in the butter
| It is generally matter of taste how much
salt should be used to the pound, an ounce OF
pure rock salt to the pound is the general rule.
When the butter is packed, it should be in
tight, clean jars OR frkins. Earthen jars are
by far, the most preferable. Ifyou cannot pro
cure earthen jars, and are obliged to use wooden
Grkins, would recommend those made out Of
ash as being the best Water should be kept
in the irkin for several days before using it, il
order to take the wood taste out or it can BIZ
slightly scorched inside, which will answer the
same purpose. The butter should be packed
soid and cloth saturated with brine covered
| over it as soon as it is packed. When the jar
or frkin is filled, covered the butter over with
a cloth well dampened, then salt should be pu
| on top, and it also should be kept damp
When put away it should be in a cool place
one of uniform temperature is to be preferred
Bear in mind this fact, that in order to be sue
cessful you must have a cool cellar, and in coo
weather the windows should be thrown open
when warm winds prevail they should be clos
