MAKING WINTER BUTTER.-As prime butter
without fault in flavor. always commands a
high price, and an article made perfect in
the dead of winter, with all the nutty taste
OF the best Orange county summer grass
batter, would make an extra high figure,
why not produce such quality, and make a
kind of harvest at the season of the year
when nothing is done, or worse than naught,
by some farmers Some may say, - it can
not be done in this State y but | have done
1t in the north and the south, in States fairly
representing all the others it be done,
and very easily, in any part of the Union,
with no more trouble than is taken in the
production of soapy stuff. Grow some man
COLDS and carrots cut some grass Just as it
has come into bloom, and give it plenty OF
field room, turning it often that it may dry
uniformly and be a sweet, bright looking
article of hay. When winter commences
begin feeding the cows in milk with these
roots and the beautiful hay, and if some good
corn meal is shaken over or mixed with the
roots, much the better for the cows, the
butter and the manure the corn meal will
be well paid for, though hay alone Of the
description alluded to will make first class
butter. The right kind of food gwen to the
cows is the first step toward making fine
butter. and without this being done the best
dairymaids IN the whole world cannot nanip-
ulate their milk into the desired article
believe there are some men who have an idea
that it il kind of extravaganza to have cows
in milk during the winter who think calves
cannot be raised which are dropped in the
autumn, and believe men ought to do like
the squirrels-put everything IN store for the
cold season. Let them eat the tub and ported
butter but, while fresh butter with others
is appreciated, and so long there is a
market for first class produce of every kind,
allow farther seeing men to provide the es-
sentals for supplying the demand.
Salt butter in England is considered very
little better than hogs lard, and is never
brought on any respectable persons table
It is used occasionally on toast, and good
deal in making pastry, but fresh butter and
fresh meat are eaten by everybody in com
Portable circumstances, except that cold
boiled ham and rashers of broiled bacon are
very common for the breakfast Country

CAPITAL METHOD OF PICKING P0RK.-For

pounds of salt. After the meat Is cold rub

mainder of the salt which should be about
five pounds add tor it two pounds OF brown
sugar, four ounces saItpeUre, one pint Of mo-
lasses, and about three gallons OF water.

meat, which should in the mean time have

and # three gallons of water does not make
brine enough to cover it. (Which is sometimes
the case when the pieces are so rough they
cannot be packed close), more water must
be used. In six weeks the meat should be
taken out, and the brine boiled again and
sklmmee, so as to remove the blood Rinse
the meat in cold water and rinse out the
vessel, then repack, and when the brine
c1ols, pour it over as before, being sure to
have enough to cover all the meat. To this

By the action of the heat on the fbres of
meat certain amount of water is always
expelled from them whence it happens that
the flesh loses weight by boiling even when
immersed in water las much sometimes as
"a per cent. of the raw flesh In larger
masses this loss is not so great. Even in
roasting meat the heat must be the strongest
at first, and it may then be much reduced
The juice, which, as in boiling, flows out,
evaporates in careful roasting from the sur
face of the meat and gives it the dark brown
color and luster, and the strong aromatic
taste of roast meat. 1t is doubtful, however
whether the heat Of one hundred and seventy
degrees is sufficiently high to insure the des-
truction Of the parasites of meat, and there
fore / would advise that the temperature
should be nearly as possible TO that of boiling

The Baby.

Two little waxen hands
Folded son and silently,
Two little curtained eyes,
Looking out more for me;
Two little snowy cheeks,
Dimple dented nevermore;
Two little trodden shoes,
That will never touch the floor;
Shoulder ribbon softly twisted,
Apron folded, clean and white;
These are left me,-and these only
Ofthe childish presence bright.
Thus lie sent an answer to my earnest praying
Thus He keeps my darling free from earthly stain
Thus lie folds the pet lamb safe from earthly stray
ing.
But miss her sadly by the window pane,
Till look above it; then, with purer vision,
sad, weep no longer the lilac bush to pass,
For | see her, angel, pure and white and sinless,
Walking with the harpers, on the sea Of glass.
Two little snowy wings
Softly fiutter to and fro,
Two tiny childish hands
Beckon still to me below;
Two tender angel eyes
Watch me ever earnestly;
Through the loop holes of the stars
Baby's looking out for me.

Chronicles of the Bourbon Fishing
Party.
CHAPTER lST.

thAllER
And it came to pass, in the 5ih month
OF the year, eight hundred and three
score and eleven, in The city of Bourbon,
that Enoch the son of Elias, together with
his master. who is surnamed John. con-
ceiyed within their minds TO make a dis
tant journey to the land of Encch'
father.
2. Now Enoch was filed with clever
ness and piely, and desired that certain
of the students and of the tribe round
about Bourbon should accompany him.
8. And he inyited several, male and fe-
male, invited he them.
4. And II came 10 pass, as they journey
ed along, tina. the road was rough, and
the boards upon which they sat were ex-
ceedingly hard.
5. And many glad hearts there were
when they arrived in tie land of Enoch' 8
father and saluled his brethren.
6. And behold, when they arose the
next morning, that Enoch and his breth-
ren digged holes and stakcd the fence of
their father that their crops might not be
destroyed.
T.. And the damscls watered the flower
beds, and had an exceeding good time.
8. When, 10, young man whose sur
name was John, arose and said, What do
We here; let us go hence, even unto Wolf
creek dam, and let US calch fish with our
hooks.
3. And they arose, and digged bats
and harnessed up the beasts Of burden,
and proceeded Immedisiely to where fish
were known to abound.
10. And when they had arrived unto
the great waters, Enoch beheld a ship
afar of, and, having no vessel of his own.
he lifted up his voice and cried wit b an
exceeding loud voice:
- Please bring thy ship hither,
that zee may enter therein aud fsh.
II. And :hs young msn of the tribe OF
the western country, seeing the gay dam
sells. brought their vessel and left it a, the
disposal OF Enoch and bis friends.
13. And they entered therein. and some
stood upon The banks and fished in shah
low water.
-. And behold, they baited their hooks
and spat thereon, and cas-. them in the
water, and when night had about over
took them, they gathered together upon
the hillside. and behold they had not re-
ceived single bite, nay, but TWO nibblcs
received they. all of them.
Is. And certain of them said, what do
we II the heather find out our bad luck,
we will feel exceedingly bored.
l6. And they all declared that they
would say nothing to those who were not
concerned; yea, not to any person about
Bourbon In particular, for some of them
carry jokes exceeding far.
