Sailing BUrrER.-It is becoming
. very prevalent complaint, among
butter dealers, that farmers are not
careful enough as to the kind and
quantity of salt they use in preparing
butter for market: Some put in too
much, others hardly enough, while too
many are careless as to the quality Of
the article used. Ordinary barrel
salt is reported to contain so much
lime as to cause soapy texture to
the butter. while lacking the presera-
tive power essential to good flavor and
protracted keeping. An exchange
states that the Ashton salt, imported
in sacks of four bushels, combines all
the essentials necessary to the pre-
servation Of butter,-the salt costing
ABOUT one-fourth more than that COM
monty in use. 1t pays well to be par
ticular in everything relating to but
ter manufactured good article, clean
ly made and properly put up being
certain to remunerate the maker for
all trouble and expense, by the enhan-
ced price it is certain to bring in the
market.

water gradually raised to a boiling
point and after being allowed
to cool, be taken out. corked, and set

An Agricultural Newspaper for the
PeuinsuIn-

The Agriculture of Delaware and the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland, is to great de-
gree peculiar in its character. The lay Of
the land, the quality Of the soil, the means
of marketing, gthe system of labor, are not
the same as those of Eastern Pennsylvania,
the Western Shore Of Maryland or even
Eastern Virginia. Experience in Agricul-
iuraI or Horticultural pursuits, therefore,
outside the particular field which we name,
does not apply to it, and many OF the lessons
learned elsewhere lose much of their value
when put in service here.
These are the considerations which in
duce Us to believe that An AGRICULTURAL
NEWSPAPER, designed especially for the Pen
insnla, Is needed and viii be a welcome
addition to the fund Of knowledge which
farmers within its limits have at their com
mand.

Have You PLENTY OF Door MATS Our
observation is that comparatively few house
keepers appreciate the economy Of having
plenty Of mats at every outside door. The
chief wear Of carpets comes from sandy or
gritty materials brought in on the boots or
shoes. Cncarpeted floors are constantly
soiled from the same source. Most persons
keep but single mat just inside, or outside
of the door. 1t is far better to have two or
three-onc coarse, heavy one outside the
door, at the bottom of the steps, another
just against the door on the outside, and
another finer one on the inside Mats so
placed will be strong hint to careless, SLOW
emily men and boys to wipe their feet clean.
The cost is not much more for three mats
thus used, for they will last nearly three
times as long as single one. Each fifty
cents invested in mats will usually save ten
times the amount in carpets, and in lesscning
labor and annoyance Corn husks braided
together make good homemade mats
Pieces OF old carpets are far better than
nothing. A good cheap mat can be easily
made by stitching two pieces of old carpet
together and stuftlng with thin layer Of
hay Or straw, knotting ii through 10 keep
the filling in place.-Am. AyricultUrist.

Mr.. Mitchell has pleasant article in the
+" Hours at Home, on Rural Affairs, sketch
ing with various accessories, Connecticut
Farm, of which he was the fortunate pos
SCISSOR score Of years ago. and on which
he subsequently says: There is no man
ner of work done upon a New England
farm, to which some day have not put my
hand-whether it be chopping wood, laying
well, sodding coal-pit, cradling oats, weed
ing corn, shearing sheep, or sowing turnips.
We make the following extracts:
The farm was suitably divided, las the old
advertisements were wont to say into till
age, meadow and pasture lands. This dis
tribution of parts implied that the meadows
would furnish enough hay in ordinary sea
sons for the winters keep Of such and SO
many animals as the pastures carried in
good condition through the summer and
the arabic land was supposed equal to the
growth of such grain and vegetables as
would suffice for man and beast throughout
the year.
1t was an old, lazy reckoning of capabili-
ties, which implied little or no progress, and
which took no account of any systematic
rotation.
| never see a farm advertised under the
formula have nsmed-suitably divided into
tillage, moving, and pasture land-but
feel sure that the advertiser is a respectable,
old fashioned gentleman, who keeps long
tailed black coat for Saturdays and training
days, and who has inherited his agricultural
opinions from very dull and stiff-necked
ancestry.
Such announcements-and they are to be
seen not unfrequently, in the journals-im-
press me very much as the advertisement, o.
desirable dwelling might suitably di
vided into cooking, eating, and sleeping
quarters"
There are, to be sure, rough pasture lands
strewn with rocks, or full Of startling inc
qualities of surface which must retain for al
indefinite period their Office for simple graz
ing purposes; hut, with rare exceptions
there are not anywhere in the north easter
States any considerable stretches of meadow
capable of growing the better English grass

and foul growth. but after this. clean III
