CONDUCTED BY ALBERT CHAPMAN.

Mr.. Benjamin Flint of the firm of Flint,
Bixby, & Co., of San Juan, Monterey Co.,
California, left Vermont last week with a
large and choice selection of Merino
rams, from some of the best Vermont
focks, making some forty-fve to fifty,
very fine rams, for the improvement Of
their large hocks of pure, and grade
Merino sheep, of which they have some
one hundred thousand. Mr.. Flint has
before imported largely at different times
from the best Of Vermont focks,
These purchases were made from the
Aocks of George and Henry Hammond,
Mrs. V. Wright Of Middlebury, Rich
Bros 4 +. Stickney of Shoreham, S, s.
Drew of Burlington, Henry Tharp of
Charlotte, and H. Newell, and Il. +.
Van Vliet of Shelburn. We learn the
purchase embraced the entire stock Of
surplus yearling, and two year old rams
lately purchased by Mr.. George Ham,
mond of Mrs, V. Wright, and D. Sulli.
van.
The prices paid were highly satisfacto-
ry, and encouraging to Vermont Sheep
breeders. As high as s400 being paid
for at least one purchased of Mr.. Stick
ney. We did not see this ram before he
was sheared, but hear he was very fine
oae. We saw one of those purchased of
Mr.. Tharp, and think him one of the
finest young rams ever sold from the
State, and such as we have none too many
to part with Mr.. Flint informed us that
he offered $500 for the two year old ram,
belong to Mrs. V. Wright, and Cherbino
and Williamson, that received the premi-
um at our County Fair last fall, as the
best Yearling Merino Ram, but it was
refused. We congratulate Mr.. Flint up
on his success in obtaining so many good
Rams, and hope he will fully realize his
expectations in the Improvement of his
large hocks from this fresh accession from
the best of our Vermont blood.

How the Prize Butter was Made.

The first prize butter at the last New

mode of manufacture
The milking is done in tin pals, and
Immediately strained in tin pans contain
ing about six quarts each the pans are
set on rack made Of stats about eight
inches apart. The temperature is kept
from 50 to 60 degrees by our thick walls,
by the flow Of cold water, and by the use
of ice. The milk is allowed to stand 36
hours before skimming. Great care is
taken to cream the milk before it is thick
or loppered through.
Our milk room is basement under a
wing of the house, the walls seven feet
high, the sides two feet above ground
the end or entrance OF the room is four
feet above the surface and three feet be.

ing the milk, At one end of the counter
is hopper or box for the skinned milk
which is conveyed to the hog.pen through
pump-logs under ground.
The churning is done by dash churns
driven by endless chain horse power, two
churns running at the same time; so tc
60 pounds are made at one churning
which occupies about 80 minutes. Great
care is taken not to churn to long, as il
Injuries the grain. The butter is taken
from the churn with ladle, and wash cd
with cold well water until it is entirely
free from milk. In hot weather ice wa
ter is used; then we cure with Ashton
salt, at the rate of one ounce Of salt to
two pounds Of butter. 1t is then left un
