FROM CUBA.-Havana letters of the 10th
state that Goyeneche was recently badly beat
en- by Gen. Jordan and retreated to Puerto
Principe. He has since abandoned that place
and hurried to Santa Espiritu, at the same
time making a demand on the Captain General
for four thousand more troops Four entire
Spanish camps near Santa Espiritu were re-
Gently captured by the Cubans, and that place
is closely besieged by them. De Rodas has
made another appeal to Spain for 10000 more
men. Aletter ftOm leading Cuban was re-
Gently captured, which shows that the Cuban
government was dissatisfied with Gen. Quesa-
da, and that he was removed by vote of the
Cuban House of Representatives and Gen. Jor-
dan put in his place. Jordan is very popular
with the people, and has reconciled all differ
ences in the Cuban army and revived its en-
thusiasm. A letter from Trinidad dated the
10Th inst, says in regard to the insurrection !:
Matters are rather worse than better here. On
the night of the 18th inst. eight married women
were taken from their homes and placed in
jail. One of them is the wife of an American
merchant of this place. Up to this date they
remain in confinement.

70 PURIFY DAIRY UTENSILS.

Stand on end, in a convenient place for use,
an open ended vessel of suitable dimen-
sions for the size of the dairy, say from a
half barrel to a hogshead. In this Stake
some good quicklime, enough to make a thin
whitewash when full of water, and cover to
keep out dust and dirt. The lime will settle,
leaving a saturated solution of lime over it,
milk pans, &C., wash them us other utensils
are washed and rinsed; then dip them in the
adjoining cask of clear lime water, giving
a quick turn, so that every part becomes
immersed therein: set them to drain and
dry, and the publication is complete, without
any scalding process, from the new pan to
the old worn out one. The lime in the water
instantly neutralizes the acidity of the milk
yet remaining in the cracks or seams, &C.,
of the milk vessels, to destroy which the proc
ess of scalding has been performed. In the
case of a very small dairy, or of one COW,
the clear water may, if preferred, be dipped
out for the time being and poured gently
back again, the lime purifying the water,
and keeping it good all summer. OF course
there will be "a little waste and evaporation,
which will be made up by adding clean wa
ter as needed, the lime settled in the bottom
of the cask keeping up the strength of the
saturated solution. Let any one who reads
and doubts its efficacy, simply try it thorough
ly, and he will effect a great saving in time
and cost.-COr. Country Gentleman.

FARMER MORGAN STUNNED.

Notwithstanding our old style farmers cry
out against book-farming, still they encourage
it by precept and example, although, perhaps,
unwittingly. Henry Morgan was one of your
plain, practical men, who was continually
crying out against the many innovations made
by book-farmers; and yet, step by step, he
accepted the improvements, although he still
beratcd the book-farmers. He was one of
those who, in his youth, went to mill with
grain in one end of the sack and a stone in
the other. He reapcd his grain with IL sickle
long after cradles came into use, and held on
to the cradle long after reapers had proved
serviceable. But, as we said, he had, step
by step, accepted the different improvements;
indeed, he had gone SO far as to advocate
the rotation of corn, wheat and clover; but
not until after long years of ~fruitless search
after crops among his worn-out fields, and
vain endeavor to bring them too, as his
fathers had done before him, by turning
them out"
1t so happened that our friend Morgan had
three bright, promising boys, young men
grown Mt this time, who assisted the father
on his farm. On day the old fellow was
pitching into an agent for an agricultural
paper pretty roughly, telling him he had 10
use for books to farm by, nor for those who
used them. The agent was quiet while the
old man applied his invective to all the class
of persons which the agent represented; but
at last he said: "Mr. Morgan, here you nave
three boys, who will doubtless follow in your
footsteps and become farmers. Now are you
willing they should go back and COM
mence where you didp You arc acknowledged
to be n good farmer, and consequently have
learned many facts in relation thereto; and
yet, Judging from your conversation, you
want your boys to.commence where you did,
and learn for themselves" "No, no, | don't
mean that! l mean books, man booksr"
avery well; l understand that; but in this
case you are the book, and these boys have
been reading you for the last ten years, just
as much as if you had written out your eXpe-
rience and had it published. The only diff
ference l can see is, that had you published IL
book, detailing your practical experience,
and giving the facts you have learned, you
would have an audience of thousands, instead
Of your boys and a few of your immediate
neighbors only" swell, well" said friend
Morgan, at is barely possible 1 have made
a mistake kansas Farmer.

The annual butter product of the country
is not far from 700, 600, 600 of lbs. A large
share of this product is inferior, and much of
it nothing better than a miserable grease.
The. number of good butter makers in the
country is comparatively small. They need
advice and suggestion, and so we have given
the substance of Mr.. Migrants talk, well
knowing that he has practical experience
whereof he speaks.-X. A. WILLARD, in
