Butter Making.

A correspondent of Hearth and Home,
writes as follows on butter making:
To make butter in perfection in the sum-
mer months, place of suitable tempera-
ture is the first requisite, and that the best
Philadelphia butter is made in the spring
house is, think, unquestioned and unques-
tionable. The uniform temperature of the
water in mine is 54c, and of the air about
CO.. The cream is kept in the deepest part
Of the spring, and is thoroughly stirred
each day; and if any one detail in the pre-
cess of butter making is of more Importance
than another, it is certainly the manage
ment of the cream; for if this is spoiled,
all subsequent care cannot make good but
ter; and in order to accomplish this desira-
BILE result, three essentials are requisite
1t must be kept in temperature not high
er than So. Each cream-pan must be
stirred every day, and it must be separated
from the milk after the latter has stood not
longer than thirty-six hours; and I much
prefer the milk to clabber, which result
can be secured by the addition of small
quantity of bonnyclabber to each pan
of milk. also at the same time add
small quantity of cold spring water which
has a tendency to raise the cream the more
rapidly.
Once week we churn by horse power,
and when "the butter comes the milk is
drawn off by means of bung- hole in the
bottom of the churn. The butter is then
thourougly washed by churning it in cold
water, several times repeated; and this
process we think is necessary in freeing the
butter from the buttermilk, for if any
remains the caseine and sugar contained in
in it are subject to decomposition: the for
mer becomes rancid, and the latter is
changed to acetic acid, and thus the butter
becomes truly "poor sort of grease
We then salt the butter, and let it stand
till the next day, that the salt may be
thoroughly dissolved; it is then finally
worked and i'll an artistic manner done up
in pound balls, Philadelphia fashion; and it
is important that the hands of the person
SO moulding and working it should not
touch it: wooden paddles should be used
with dexterity which can only be acquired
by practice. Butter thus made, we think,
instead Of being a shame and disgrace,
is truly golden luxury, and worthy a
place on any table.

sons nave an impression that these clerkshlps are
equally divided among The States. But this Is not
so, as an examination of the Blue Book easily
proves. The District OF Columbia furnishes directly

Lecture by Horace Greeley.

Lecture by Horace Greeley.
Horace Greeley delivered a lecture on the above
subject last night before the Third Union Co. ope-
rative Land and Building Society, at Cooperative
Hall, No. 2l4 Bowery The room was wen filed by
an intelligent audience. The lecturer commenced
by saying that as rather an old Socialist concerned
in other days in many and earnest movements
which had the same general tendency that the
society before whom he now spoke had, he
desired to speak first Of the principle Of
operation-to see what 1t was and what
it promised. After that he would endeavor to speak
OF its various applications. The principle OF CO.
operation was essentially republicanism applied TO
the sphere OF industry Our old systems OF industry
were essentially m0narchcial but he did not mean to
speak Of them with reproach. These old modes be-
longed to the stage OF human progress which he
trusted the world was now beginning to % outgrow;
TO speak OF what he had lab0red for and hoped.
rather than Of what has been attained What was CO.
opers ton IL was simply the agreement or concur
renee OF q large number OF persons who united 10
use their capital by combination OF their small
means individually. He instanced the whale ship
OF New England as sample OF cooperative pro-
jects. He was sorry to say the principle had not
been generally applied in this country as in Others
and that was owing perhaps, ID the fact that, as
whole, the labor1ng class were better on with
us than they were IN London or Paris. In spite .,
was attempted to be gotten up here some speci0us,
smooth ana sometimes pious villain came In and got
himself appointed to some responsible position, such
as agent. bookkeeper or something, and by fraud
wrecked the concern. But tbs was no reason why
the mechanics OF this city should not obtain all
that they eat an average, at all events,
twenty per cent cheaper than they now get 1t They
could do IL II they would, II they got men honest
enough to do the business Cooperation had proved
success in many instances. He alluded to the CO.
operative establishment at Rochdale, England, as
one or pioneer institutions which had given great
evidences OF success but the time might come when
even bad management might Overset this. But
the fact that 1t had been a success would still
remain. The lecturer then went on to give
his hearers some advice to how they should or
ganize and carry out cooperative building societies
and provision Stores that the working man might
be 10 reality his own employer. He was opposed,
however to men striking for higher wages and then
remaining Idle instead Of devisDg some means by
which they could employ themselves.

short time since, and showed their successful opera
