BUTTER MAKGNG-Thc New York Iri,
bunc gives the following IS the points of
Mr.. Bliss address at the late pairyman's
Convention at Utica, y. Y:
1t is not true tina, the management Of q
good butter dairy has been reduced to a
science. We cannot too earnestly urge the
necessity Of COOLING the milk as soon as it
is drawn from the COW to about jS degrees,
after which an increase Of several degrees
may be permitted with advantage to both
quantity and quality of the butter. To
this end advise talks. holding say thirty
gallons of water, in which the newly filed
pans may be placel. \ supply OF running
water would be most convenient for this
purpose, but it is not Indispensable. AS
general rule the amount of water required
for cooling mess Of milk in properly
constructed tank may tc very readily sup
piled from well without any very great
expenditure of force would not recon.
cept in extreme eases, and only in water
for cooling milk or cream. With good
cows, good feed, and proper accommeda-
tinus for setting the milk, there is little
difficulty in making good butter; bu. it
must be confessed, after ali, that il is, in a
sense, an occul, scicnce--thcre is sort of
slight about it which, if it does not come
by nature, must be acquired by experience
We may lay down positive rules for every
operation, but the circumstances in which
different diaries are situated are so various
that these rules, founded upon the highest
success in one instance, might not prove
Just the thing in the other In conclusion
advise that skinned milk be put into the
swill barrel, and not be made into cheese
When fed to pigs, supplied with waste ma.
terial from which to make the coarser and
absorbent portions Of the manure, it will
pay better than in any other way. One
year with another, it is question if the
pigs themselves will not pay quite as well
as the skinned cheese, and the manure
remain as net profit
LIBERALITY IN FAEMING.--Tn this art,

eral hand which maketh rich"
Libcrality in providing utensils is the
saving both of time and labor The more
perfect his instruments, the more profitable
are they. -..
So, also, it is with his working cattle,
and his stock. The most perfect in their
kinds are ever the most profitable.
Lberality in good barns, and warm shell
tiers, is the source of health, strength aud
comfort to animals; causes them to thrive
on less food, and secures from damage all
sorts of crops.
Lberality also in the provision of food
for domestic animals is the source of flesh,
muscle and manure.
Liberality to the earth, in seed, culture,
and compost, is the source of its bounty
Thus it is in agriculture, as in every
part Of creation, wise and pa:ernal Prov
idence has inseparably connected our duty
and our happiness. f.. s...-.
In raising animals, the conditions of his
success is kindness and bcnevolence toward
them
In cultivating the earth, the condition
OF mans success is his industry upon it.

HINTS ON MIXING Cows.-A man
who had done his own milking employed a
boy to do it. He shrunk the milk one>
third in two weeks. The owner resumed
the milking, and in two weeks got the same
as before. Afterwards he set hired man
to milk, and he shrunk the milk ten per
cent; in two weeks more, the owner milk
ing again, got as much as before This
man does the work quickly and milks very
clean. He closes the forafnger and thumb
around the teat high up, and makes a
downward motion, tightening the grip and
forcing out the mlk-tben lets go his hold,
keeping the finger and thumb in circle,
carries up the hand and presses it smartly
against the udder, and closes and pulls
down as before, aud so repeats until done
The philosophy, if any, is to give as near
as may be, the same motion that the calf
does in sucking ~ o.. -
OLD AND New PLACES FOR RAISING
FowLs-During 1869 l raised about one
hundred and fifty fowls on an old place
where fowls had been raised, more or less,
for years. The consequence was, lost at
least one-third Of all Matched, by the much
dreaded gapes. tried nearly all the rem
edies recommended. but my only success
was in removing the worms with feather
trimmed for the purpose. This year am
on new place whore no fowls were ever
Kept. set my first hen on the 29th of
January; have now about one hundred
and forty chicks out. some one third grown
and not single case of gapes OR other sick
ness yet; treatment the same 10 both years.
