A New WAY TO MAKE BUTTER.--A
singular method Of making butter has
lately come into quite extensive use in
France, based upon the observed fact,
that cream is changed into butter by be
ing simply buried in the earth. The the
ory Of this result is not very ineligible,
though the fact is stated to be beyond
question; and in Normandy and other
parts Of France, butter is actually pre-
pared on u large scale in this way. The
process consists in placing the cream in a
linen bag of moderate thickness, which
is carefully closed then burying the bag
about foot and half deep in the earth
and allowing it to remain from twenty.
four to twenty five hours. After the cx
piration of this period the cream is found
to have become hard, and it is then
broken up by means Of a wooden beatel
into small pieces, and enough water
poured upon it to wash out the butter
milk. To prevent any mixture of earth
it is advisable to enclose the bag in ,
second one of larger size and coarsel
quality. This method of making butter
saves a great deal of labor, and separates
the butter more perfectly than the ordi-
nary process and we feel assured that
butter thus prepared is Of most excellen
quality.

THE USE OF SALT.-The use Of salt as
a fertilizer is not nearly as much consd
cred as we think its value demands 1t
might be applied every third or fourth
year. 1t Is the usual practice to scatter
the salt broadcast, at the rate Of four or
five bushels to the acre, alter the grain
has been put in. Many farmers who have
used it in this manner, have given their
testimony that their crop Of wheat has
been greatly increased, and the crop OF
weeds, bu.s and worms correspondingly
diminished. If this is so, it is evident
that salt performs two important Offices,
while ordinary manure performs but one.
Many Of our readers, DOUBTLESS, have a
small pasture IN which they keep COW
and occasionally turn horse. Many of
these pastures have coarse grasses grow
ing in them while in other places the
grass dries up quickly on approach OF
warm and dry weather All such pas
lures will be greatly improved, and oite"
the coarse grasses will entirely disappear
if harrow is passed freely over back and
forth ct the proper time, and salt at che
rate Of eight or ten bushels to the .cre be
spread over the und.-Germuntowu
Telegraph.

IMPORTANT TO FAhMERs, "A singular
fact seems to have been discovered 10
Kansas. The Leavenworth Commercial
has been informed by an experienced
farmer that not one kernel of corn out
Of one hundre grown this year, will
germinate. His reason for this state
ment is that there we're no hard frosts to
kill the corn.stalks until the hard freeze
came. He says that the sap was in the
stalk and ear when it froze hard, and
that the cold has destroyed the life of the
corn. If this is so, farmers will do well
to select their seed corn for next year
from old corn and put it away.
We do not know whether the same fact
obtains in this region, but it may be we'll
for our farmers to examine and see how
the matter stands.

The Western Monthly Is pre- eminently
the Western magazine. A little over u
year ago the publication of this periodical
was commenced, in the interest of the
increasing literary demand of the West,
and right we'll has it performed the work.
Its literature is of q high order, though
occasionally little colored with political
sentiments not altogether in accordance
with our extreme love of the s, nth; but
taken altogether, The Western Monthly
is first class magasipe, filed with good,
readable and instructive articles, with o
slight allowance Of lighter productions
to suit less cultivated tastes. See pros

the Herald to any address for 1926.

number Of these maps, which were paid
for out of the county school fund We
will not here determine what moral right
this map vender had to humbug our
school fathers, but We will say for the
information Of the people generally that
their right to purhcase such maps was a
very doubtful one, and we warn them to
steer off this rock hereafter. For their
consideration we append the following:

for any county officer to pay out public

A SUGGESTION. receipts and cx-
pcnditures of the county for 1866 7-8
which have been published, are hardly
explicit enough for the people to readily
understand them. They don't care to
know that So and-so received SO much
money from the county, but what he re-.
ceived it, far. The receipts and cxpeudi.
lures SO made out would be much more
satisfactory, and easily understood by
every one. Take one name, for instance !:
A large amount of money has been drawn
from the Treasury by Mr.. Cake for county
expenses; there are many who think this
money was paid to him for services, when
in fact he docs not get the beno6t Of one
cent; it is to pay tho expenses of the
county, and is distributed perhaps 10 a
dozen or more persons. Another: Ellis
& Fisher, county expenses, Sl58.45.
What has Ellis & Fisher been doing for
the county that they receive so large q
cum of money at one time2 This could
all be explained in the publication in
about the same number of words, viz.
Ellis & Fisher, publishing delinquent
lands, Sl58.45; and then everybody
would understand why the county has to
pay out so much money. As there is one
more years expenses the Court propose
publishing, We would respectfully sug'
gest that they be made out in this man
ner. 1t will save great many enquiries
and place the Court 10 better light be-
fore the people. We merely suggest the
change.

BREAD.-If you wish to bake your
bread or biscuit withouta dry, hard crust.
you can do so very readily. Dust before
placing the bread in the oven, rub its
surface with butter or lard. This will
close the pores, preventing the escape OF
gas which is produced by the yeast, and
the escape Of the steam which is produced
by the moisture of the heated loaf
Bread thus baked will be almost crustless
Indeed, so long as the moisture is con
fined it will be difficult burning the loa
to any great depth. The large vacuitie'
in the bread will be less numerous, though
as whole, it will be moro porous ant
therefore lighter.
