Preparing Rennei.

A correspondent Of the Utica Herald says
Eight years experience has abundantly con-
WINGED me that by dipping the whey from a
the boiling point, aud skimming off carefully
all the albuminous and curdy matter which
arises, then setting aside the whey to cool, and
aterward decantiDg it so as to remove the
sediment it is the best known liquid in which
to soak rennets BY treating whey in this
way and then using it when acid to extract
the faint which the use of water tends to pro-
ducc, and as can do this with much less salt,
do not detract so much from. the efficiency
Of the ronnet. | furthermore believe this Ia
be the testimony of all the best cheese makers
in the country who have thoroughly tried
both systems. | would here state one other
point which | consider most important in the
discussion referred to, and that is. we use
earthern jars instead of wooden vessels for
this purpose In my opinion, most rennets
are sailed too much in curing. The best
reunets | know Of are blown up with air and
sailed only at the ends. These, when proper
| ly dried, give much better satisfaction than
those which are saturated with salt. do not
object to the use of as much salt as may be
necessary, in both the curing and preparation
of rennets, to preserve them from becoming
tainted but what 1 do decidedly maintain
and urge is, that by filling rennets with air
and drying to cure them, and by soaking them
in pure sour whey in preparing them, we
may avoid the use of too much salt aud at
the same time preserve them from decomposi-
ton much more ofFectualy than by the old
method of using wooden barrels, water anC
an over-abundance of salt.

Summer Complaint.

Some sixty years ago | saw in your col,

kindred diseases, which with slight modiica.
TONS have tried and recommended in q
great many cases without once hearing of a
failure. The ingredients are almost always at
hand, and are so simple that it does not seem
that there can be the least danger in its use
in any case. Take equal quantities good
vinegar and boiling water, and a little more
common salt than they will dissolve Pour
the vinegar on the salt in the teacup and the
boiling water in both. Stir thoroughly, so
that as much salt as will may dissolve. Let
it settle and then take, according to the vio-
lence Of the attack, 2 to teaspoontuls /; in

To Test the Quality of Wool.

Take lock of wool from the sleeps back
and place it upon an inch rule If you car
count from thirty to thirty-three of the spiral,
or folds in the space of an inch, it equals in
quality the finest Saxony wool grown OF
course when the number of spirals to the inch
diminishes, the quality Of wool is relatively
inferior. Many tests have been tried, but
this is considered the simplest and best
Cotswod wool, and some other inferior woods
do not measure nine spirals to the inch
With this test, every farmer has in possession
a knowledge which will enable him to form
a correct judgment Of all this kind of wool
There are some coarse woods which expert
enced wool.growers do not rank as wool bu
as hair, on account of the hardness ant
