RANCID BUTTER.-We cut from an
exchange the following recipe: "To I
pint of water add thirty drops (about
half a teaspoonfuD of liquor of chic
ride of lime. Wash in this two and a
half pounds of rancid butter. When
every particle of the butter has come
in contact with the water, let it stand
an hour or two; then wash the butter
we'll again in pure water. The butter
is then left without any odor, and has
the sweetness of fresh butter. These
preparations of lime have nothing in
furious in Them"
The same paper says: "We forth
with obtained some of the most rancid
butter, and it was bad enough for any
stomach that had more sesibility than
a wagon wheel. We doctored it as pei
recipe, and when placed on the table
along with new butter, very able judg'
es could not distinguish which was new
butter. Here is a fact worth year,

EDs. GAZETTE:-The farmers have
about finished cutting grain, and are
now engaged in hauling it to their
barns. There has not been, for many
years, such a crop of wheat raised in
Napier township as the present season
has produced. The crop is extra and

staunch old Democrat, and good citizen,
Peter Winegardner, has upwards OF
eight hundred dozens of prime wheat,
and several other of his neighbOr farm
ers have large crops. The oats crop is
good, and the corn has fine appear
ance. The hay cropwill be at least one
third heavier this year than last. Fruit,
of all kinds, will be scarce, there are
but few apples and no peaches, and the
cherry crop was lighter than has been
for many years. Thinking you would
like to know how the crops of grain is
in this part of the country, concluded
/ would drop you few lines on the
subject. Yours, &C., NAPIER.
