OdOrs in Butter.

III Is common error among our butter
makers, particularly those who make but
little, to let the butter stand too long in
the churn, or in the butter bowl waiting
to be worked. There is no churn, there is
no butter bowl, perfectly clean. Wood

these will become tainted, and the butter
Will absorb the odor. Hence the taste of

In some butter you can tell that the
cows were in the rain when MIXED, or in
the stable; also whether cheese is made
or not, and if anything is fed besides grass,
for instance, cabbage, or carrots, or even
buckwheat We discard beets, roots, and
vegetables of almost all kinds when we
wish to have perfect article of butter.
Fresh growing, tender grass makes the
butter. Glover may be added, especially
white clover,-the red is less desirable.
Perfect butter is a thing so rare that il
is quite a treat when ii does come. Few
people have ever tasted of it; fewer yet
eat it habtually; but some do They
make their own butter, first knowing how
to make it, and then being willing to make
it, not sighting in the least particular.

grasses that you get the Objectionable,

Such butter viii keep, and is most royal

But now we urge, more particularly, to
see that the churn holds the butter
only till il is gathered, and the bowl till

Range of the Human Eye.

The range of the human eve may be
judged of from consideration which gives
us at the same time u good idea of the
scope of animal structure. Surprising
that an individual of every known species
were to take its stand between the two
species that were respectively the next
larger and the next smaller than itself, the
smallest known animal at one extremity
of the line and the largest standing ut the
other; and then suppose we were to ask
which creature occupied the middle place,
having as many degrees of size below ii as
above, and as many above it as below, that
place would be found to be occupied by
the common house-hy. What a stupen-
dous optical instrument must that be
