cd by connoiseurs delicious. We beg
our readers who are preparing butter
for Winter use to pat saltpetre in the
cream as it collects. We make all
our table butter from this one
COW; its favor and color are IN
surpassed by Philadelphia butter,
and we add no colorIDg mat
ter now, while We know that
the far-famed Continental butter Is
colored with annotto. In winter we
color with orange carrots, grated, or
with yolks of eggs, preferrlng the lat
ter. The churns Of the present day
are a great aid in working out the
buttermilk; still, butter paddles are
needed, few women having hands or
wrists strong enough to refuse their
aid We think that butter paddles
mighs be manufactured like a large
fork, or In imitation Of four fingers
and a thumb, which would greatly
hasten the flow Of the buttermilk. Can
not some Yankee youth benefit our
suggestion? When the butter is
Waxen In texture, as all Alder
ney butter is after q little mold
ing, and it ceases to color the
water which drips from the ice 1--WE
never wash butter; the sugar of milk
is soluble, and the water takes away
the sweetness of the butter-that is
our experience), then work it into
cakes, which are placed in stone jar
brine made thus: To one
gallon of water add three quarts of
fine salt, one pound Of saltpetre; one
pound of white sugar. Boil and skim |
we'll, strain through a cloth, and, when |
cold, turn upon the butter.
This brine has kept butter for US
the year round. We are now using |
butter for cooking purposes made last
put down in firkin, with
4 tablespoonful of powdered and sifted
saltpetre, and of sugar to every four
pounds. and it is better than much of
The butter which will be marketed !
this year. It has no odor or taste
which would indicate its age. It has
been kept in an ice house since June,
entirely covered with brine.
We consider butter made In Sep
ember and October much more de-
iirable for table use in Winter than
hat made in June. The reason is
obvious; it has not had to endure the
summers heat.

THE NOVELTY
Is the only Wringer that has the PATENT
ELANGE coz WHEELS on both ends
of the Rolls. The cogs on one end Of a roll
are set relatively BETWEEN those on the other
end Of the SAME roll, virtually forming
DOUBLE GEAR,
And thereby nearly doubling the pur-
chase. (The Importance of setting gears
in this position is not generally under
stood.) Notwithstanding the rolls can
separate freely at either end, the Cog
wheels CANNOT be thrown out of gear on
both ends of the Wringer at the same
tine, unless the pressure is token of.
The NOVELESY is fastened to a tub or
box by a Patent Cured Clamp, which has
an equal bearing on a tub the IOIose length
Of the W4JRgeT'. Other Wr1ngers are merely
fastened to a stave at each end, and are
thus liable to wrench the slaves from their
proper position and ruin the tub.
the Cog-Wheels, Thum b-screWs, &C, are
nicely galvanized.
Buy the NOVELTY, or at least take IL
on trial with any or all others, and Keen
the BEST. Sold everywhere.
