Preserving the Flavor Of Butter.

The German Agriculturist says that a
great portion of favor of fresh butter is
destroyed by the usual mode of washing,
and it recommends thorough kneading
for the removal of the buttermilk, and a
subsequent pressing in a linen cloth.
Butter thus prepared, according to our
authority, is pre-eminent for its sweetness
of taste and favor, qualities which are re-
tanned a longer time. To improve man
ufactured butter we are advised by the
the same authority to work thoroughly
with fresh, cold milk, aud then to wash
in clear water, and it is said that even
rancid butter may be rendered palatable
by washing it in water to which few
drops of solution Of chloride Of lime has
been added.
The Bloomfield times. [volume] (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1867-187?, 1871-10-03
Keeping, cider.

Sulphatc Of limc has been used for this
purpose, but it imparts an unpleasant fla
vor. The best way is, after the fermen-
tation has ceased, to rack the cider of
into clean barrels, and keep them full
and in a cool place. Cider cannot well
beikept upon draught and remain sweet
unless used up very rapidly. A partly
filed barrel has large surface of the
liquid exposed to the air and it will sour
or become hard !, in short time. The
surest way is to bottle the cider.

How Peaches are Canned.

A correspondent describing Mary.
land peach-orchard and the canning Of
the fruit says: rE "a
Thelorchard comprises 1913 acres, the
greater part of the trees being in full
bearing. The canning establishment is
ip the corner of the orchard and from
it there is nothing to be seen on every
hand but peach-trees. , The wagopsg as
they come in from the orchard, stop and
unload the .bas skets are passed up to
hands who take the yellow peaches into
the upper story of one house and white
ones to the other The internal arrange
ment of both houses is the same, and the
processes in both are identical. The
pairing is all done by hand; various
machines have been tried, but none have
yet been found to work satisfactorily.
Some five hundred woman and girls are
engaged in the establishment, the MAORI
ty oflthem in pairing. The fruit is halved,
and the stone removed, and then pared.
Understood fruit, and that which is too
soft, is thrown aside, to be used as 4" pie.
fruit" The woman1are paid six cents a
bucketful ior pairing, and in this as in
other steps of the process the accounts
are kept by the use Of checks. The
peaches are passed through an opening to
the floor below, where it goes. into hopper
like receptacles, from which it is filled
into the cans. AS fast as the cans are
filled they go to an inclined platform,
which stands by the side of a tank of hot
syrup, which is at strength to make the
fruit sweet enough for the table-about
a pound of sugar to the gallon. The
syrup is ladled into the cans, allowing it
sufficient time to fill all the spaces among
the fruit The cans are then washed and
wiped, to remove the syrup, the cover plac-
ed on, and passed over to the tinsmiths
The soldering is done very rapidly; each
cover has a slightly turned edge, which
drops into groove in the top of the can /;
one sweep Of the soldering-iron around
this groove effectually closes the can.
The covers have small hole punched
in thelcepter ;this is to allow the escape
of the air, which is expanded by the
heat Of soldering. When the cover is
secured, this little vent-hole is closed
bya dropof solder The tinsmiths, work
by the hundred, and make, according to
their skill, from eight dollars to twenty
dollars a day. Some very rapid workers
have been known to make as much as
forty dollars day. After the soldering
the cans are placed upon circular iron
rack, which is raised by crane and
lowered into circular vat of water, which
can be rapidly brought to boiling by turn
ing on steam. The cans being immersed,
the heat of the water is gradually raised
The boiling is continued until the fruit
is thoroughly cooked through, when the
rack is raised from the vat and the cans
taken to the storehouse, Labelling and
packing in cases is done later in the
season. Over-ripe and small peaches are
canned without pairing. They are put
up in large cans, and sold to bakers,
hotels, ETC., as pie-fruit.

Certain Cure for Rar-Ache.

As soon as any soreness is felt in the
ear, let three or four drops of the tincture
of arnica be poured in, and the orifce fill
ed with a little cotton, to exclude the air,
and in short time the uneasiness is
forgotten. If the arnica be not resorted
to till there is actual pain, the cure may
not be as speedy, but is just as certain,
although it may be necessary to repeat
the application. It's a sure preventative
for gathering 10 the ear, which is the
usual causes Of ear-ache. .eaA' sN,aa

The money was in the pantaloon's pock

The Cholera IN Russia.

NEW YORK, sept. ~
A correspondent writing from Berlin
August 8lst, says the most melancholy in
teliIgence still comes from Russia con
corning the progress Of the cholera In
that country. This disease does not seem
exhausted in It's viruence, though In
some places there was slight diminish
ing In the number Of deaths. Russia Is
entirely overrun by disease, destitution
and uncleanliness, which have power
full ally In the superstition of a large pOr'
ton Of tho people. A comprehensive
change must be made in their food before
normal state Of health can be attained
and the epidemic checked.
The cattle plague Is reported as again
appearingin Southern Russia.

his genial intercourse with the suffering

POCKET PICKED.-In the hustle and
crowdlng Of Saturday morning s market,
an old lady had her pocket relieved OF
about twenty dollars. OF course, she
will never hear of the money again, as the
squeezing, surging mass of humanity
afforded the best possible means Of escape
to the light fingered gent.
We wish our authorities could see their
way clear towards abolishing this wretch,
ed market house system. Throw open
the supplying Of our people with meats
and provisions Of all kinds to
general competition. Under the present
plan, dealers in any one article can get
up n ring" in few minutes, and compel
people to pay tribute to them. Close the
market houses and no such extOrtion
could be successfully praCtised. We
should like to see the competitive system
have fair trial, and If it prove a failure,
then let us return to the antedlluVian
method Of feeding people congregated in
large numbers.
