How to Pack Butter,

The American Grocer gives the
following advice concerning the
packing Of butter, subject which
should receive more attention 1.-THE
hands of some butter makers. 1t
says butter put up in good looking
packages, and withal Of size con-
vcnient for the purposes Of the re-
tail dealer, will always command
the highest market prices. Pals
are the last thing in the world in
which butter should be packed, I'M
less it is Of very superior quality,
and the market is known not to be
overstocked. 1t will sell only to the
trade Of the city, as no others want
butter put up in that style. 1t is q
useless trouble to which the con
signce is put, to collect and return
them, and is also expensive. The
tirkins used with best success are
manufactured from well seasoned
hard spruce, although white fir, oak
or ash will do. No sap should be
left in the timber on any account,
as by long standing the sap is La
bic to sour, grow black and mouldv
and injure the butter. Size, about
twelve inches deep by eleven inch
cs in diameter at the top and nine
at the bottom, in the clear, with
good tight cover made to fit close.
so as to exclude all air. This size
will hold from thirty to forty pounds,
and the shape is preferred by the
retailer on account of the ease with
which the butter IS returned to the
tirkin. Too much care cannot be
used in preparing the tirkin before
packing the butter. This should be
done by soaking it i'll clear spring
or well water from four to six days,
changing the water at least once
each day, till there is no smell of
the wood to impart It's flavor to the
butter. The day previous TO using,
fill the tirkin with scalding hot brine,
cover it tight, and let it stand till
YOU arc ready to pack your butter.
Then turn out your brine and rub
the inside of your tub with the best
of Liverpool salt. Butter packed in
this style of package will always
sell at the highest prevailing rates
for the quality Of butter, for howev-
err dull the market may be for pail
or export, still certain amount is
needed under all circumstances by
the trade, and this package is the
most handy for their use.

4 NOVEL MoDE OF GATHERING
HAY.-During the comparatively
dry season Of 1856, a gentleman at
State Creek, near Shasta, had sown
piece Of ground with oats, intend
ing to cut it for hay, but the ground
was SO dry that it did not grow
more than ten or fifteen inches hi Oh,
and would not pay for cutting. 1t
occurred to him that he could get
the Indians to pull it; SO he went
to see captain" Ned, who took the
contract for quarter Of beef and
half a dozen sacks of -four. The
Indians (about 10Y went to work the
next morning-old gray heads,
squaws, little ones and all-taking
swath some sixty yards wide
across the field. In two days they
finished the job, and by this means
our friend put some eight tons of
good hay in his barn. The ground
was very dry when the hay was
pulled, and the dirt was therefore
all easily knocked off the roots. A
horse will eat the roots in prefer
encc to the top.-Iacfc RuroI

Substitutes for Hay.

Something may yet be done to
make up for the expected deficiency
in the hay crop. The following
suggestions in this direction are
urged upon the attention of our
farmers:
l. Fodder corn may be sown any
time during this month.
2. Turnips can be put in now,
and are a valuable auxiliary feeding
crop. If the present drought should
force farmers to SOW them to large
extent, great benefit would come of
it.
3. On some land (where very
light burden Of grass is growing),
it may be advisable to pic" it under
and SOW a late crop of oats or rye
to be cut as fodder. Should this be
decided upon, delay the sowing I'M
til rains take place.
4. hungarian grass and millet
are good substitutes for hay. The
same course may be pursued with
these crops as with oats and rye,
as mentioned aboye.-Nui7te Farm

tree planting in Nebraska is prose
cuted at y lively rate. One day 49,
600 young trees passed through that
town to farmers further West. A
company Of Swedes had contracted

Mrs. Upper VS.. Judge Cole.

Coon WORKING BEES
Cole, besides business in law and
court, is also in bee business, and
has about the best working bees we
know OF. His experiment has been
more than 4 success. The first week
in May he bought hive of bees,
and kept them i'll an old-fashioned
box. Early in June he put them in
to one of Firms double-celled hives.
Since that time, they have made him
sixty pounds of honey, besides what
was made by them in the hive be-
low for their own use. This is an
average of two pounds day. This
is good enough for city bees, extra
good for any bees. If the improve
ment in hives continues, it will soon
be so that every family, in city or
country, will have its own hive of
hees, and gather their own honey
from their own door yard.
We forgot to say that the Judges
honey is good honey. \ generous
shelf of it lies upon our table, and
we KNOW good money when we taste
it.-.State Register.

erage ] pounds of honey each: to-
tai, 1872 pounds. In addition to this,
l have taken from the frames below
u pounds of choice strai'cd honey,
and on opening it to-day found the

to give us for pasturage, before

Political.

An Albany paper insists that seven
Republican member of the New
York Legislature were offering to sell
themselves to the Democrats on the occa-
sion Of the late deadlock in the AssembI
when ono vote was wanted to give the
Democrats q majority. Their proposal,
we're, Of course, treated with the contempt
they deserved, but the following were the
rates at which they valued themselves
The first man wanted $500 900 In cash.
Another Republican Legislator, with big
forehead and rather red nose, could settle
with his conscience for $3.50, 600, cash. The
third, very mild-mannered, inoffensiye
young Republican from the rural districts,
was ready to vote with the Democrats on
receipt Of 100000, and any Office in the
city Of New York which would give him
employment for two years at q salary Of
$4,000 per year. The fourth, a church
member, and one Of those ardent Repub-
licans above suspicion, wanted $3.50, 900 in
cash, and place in the Canal Board,
where he could take care Of few friends.

Democral.c Acau,,i,ions.

The New York World in an article in
recent issue, makes the statement that
most of the surviving members of Presi-
ilent Lincoln's cabinet look with more
favor to-day on the Democratic party than
they do on the Republican. 1t says:
Secretary Chase Was willing three years
ago, to be the Democratic candidate for
President. Postmaster General Blair, to.
gether with his father and brother, ali
earnest Republicans, when the Democratic
party was pronounced corpse, are among
the foremost in our ranks. If Secretary
Wells Is not Democrat, ho is surely no
Republican; We dare say Ee voted for
Governor English in the late Connecticut
election. Secretary Seward long ago
ceased TO be o Republican leader. An
drew johnson returned to tho Demo-
cratic fold almost as soon 6s no became
President. If that able statesman, Chas.
Francis Adams, is still Republican, no
body in that party trusts him. General
Grant ignores him as completely as he ig-
nores Andrew johnson. John Quincy
Adams, a Republican when the Demo-
cratic party was proclaimed dead, has
since been twice the Democatic andidate
for Governor Of Massachu usetts. David A.
Wells, jealous Republican in those days,
holds an appointment under the Demo
cratic Governor of New York. Those en-
inent Republicans, Gratz Brown ana Carl
Schurz, made coalition with the Demo-
cratic party in Missouri. John A. Logan,
Lyman Trumbull Governor Alcorn, and
Governor Geary, would prefer liberal
Democratic President to the reelection of
Gsnnrai Grant, and at least Que OF the four
would be willing to be tho Democratic
candidate himself. EfH

MAYHEM.
A Noted nPsdestsisn Bites or the Ear
.rn 81 Police O0csP.

L
From the Pittsburs Commercial, May 6.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon, a
most sickening sight was witnessed in the
yisisi.y Of Neil McCalliors saloon, on
Sixth Gate st. Clair) street. It seems
that the well-known Johnny Newell was
talking In boisterous manner to Henry
A. Grant, the colored foot racer, with
whom Newell ran foot race in the oil
regioAs. Officer Lewis Johnston, OF the
mayors police, who had something to do
with tho race, came along, and before he
bad spoken Newell assailed him with vile
spithets. % Johnston told him to keep
quiet but this had the effect Of increasing g
his disorderly demonstrations, and the Of
hccr ordered him uLder arrest. They had
proceeded but short distance up Sixth
street, when Newell drew from his pocket
}siarge brass key, and before Johnston was
aware what he was going TO 10, received
two severe blows upon the head. Newell
at the same time tripped him, and he fell,
catching hold OF and taking Newell down
with him. While struggling in the gut
ter Newell got the left ear Of the officer n
his mouth, and bit it entirely off-as close
as IL 1t had been cut of with knife. The
officer regained his feet u moment AFTER
ward, and, notwithstanding he was bleed
ing and suffering intensely from the loss
OF has ear and the gash on his head, clung
to bis prisoner and conveyed him 10 the
mayors office.
After Newell had been locked up, Mr..
Prescott, the gentleman referred to, stated
that he saw Newell spit the ear out of his
mouth. The mayor accordingly sent
Lieut.. Gordon to hunt u, and found IL in
the gutter. near the scene of the affrav II
was taken to the mayors Office and from
thence to Simon Johnston's drug house,
where 1t was placed in alcohol, and will be
kept until the court meets. 80
Meantime DIR. Murdoch, the city physi-
cian, was summoned and the wounds Of
the injured nan dressed. The
wound upon his head Is about an
inch and a half in length. The place
from whence the ear was taken
had to be sewed up, after which plasters
were placed upon 1t and the whole head
bandsged up. Johnston then made an in
formation against Newell for mayhem;
the warrant was read to him, and he was
told he would have to remain in the lock.
up until this morning at 10 o'clock, when
a hearing will take place. 500
The penalty for the offense is q fine OF
81 600 and Ave years in the pom iten tiary.
In addition to this the mayor intends hav-
ing the officer prefer charge Of aggra-
vated assault and battery against him, in
order that the punishment may be as Sc.
Vere as possible, but it is doubtful whether
moro than one charge will hold good, and
n case this should prove correct, only
he information for mayhem will be
sent up. 70
