lGaline 1aitsr & 19lntpr.

A Pennsylvania lady, sitter an ex-
pericnce Of % years, gives the fol-
lowing method Of treating milk for
making butter in winter. Strain
the milk in tin pans, filling only
half full-a little more or less will
mako no difference; then as soon as
convenient set the pans Of milk on
the stove,. where let them remain
until roughness or wrinkled ap-
pearance on the top of the milk is
noticed (if the milk gets too hot the
only harm will be less creamy, then
take it in the milk room or cellar in
a cool place until the next morning,
when bring it up in a warm room
and let it stand until the next day,
when it is generally ready to skim.
When treated in this way it will:
not do to skim much under AZ hours.
My plan is to skim morning and
nights milking both at the same
time in winter. 1t does not hurt
butter for the cream to sour-rath-
er aids in churning, making butter
come sooner. The crea,n-kettle l
keep in the cellar until the day or
evening before I wish to churn.
Then, if convenient, set it near a
coal stove or one that fire is kept in
all night. In the morning, before
churning, try with a Thermometer;
it should be at temperature Of 81
degrees. II not convenient to set
the cream near warm stove, Get
ting the kettle in hot water will an
swcr every purpose. Many persons
object to heating the milk because
the milk sometimes burns to the
bottom of the pans. To avoid this,
set pans with water on the stove
and place the pans with milk in
these. If butter needs colorlng l
would prefer carrot, which is pre-
pared by scraping off the ontside
and washing; then CRATE into a
small portion Of the cream and
strain this into the whole. l would
never wash butter; use rs little wa
ter about butter as possible. This
is my experience, having washed
butter to my satisfaction, always
having it 60 strong in a few da, s
after. 1 have tried many ways to
avoid heating milk in winter, but
have found nothing as Satisfactory
rs what have given.

How tn Pickle Pork.

The first essential is a good,
sweet barrcl-not molasses barrel,
but new barrel, made from WELL
seasoned, white oak slaves, without
any sap in them. II there is any
sap in the slaves the brine will leak
through, and the pork win be spoil
ed with rust. Good salt is another
requisite for picking pork. Salt
known in the west as aground alum"
or the salt made at Syracuse, N. Y,
is good.
When the hogs are killed and the
flesh perfectly cold mot frozen), lay
the hog on his side and cut straight
down the center Of the back until
the knife strikes the bone. Then
turn him on his back, and cut
through the ribs close to the back
bone, SO as to meet the cut made
from the other side. Cut off the
head and your pig will be in halves;
cut the leaf lard from the ribs; cut
off the shoulder and ham; cut out
all the lean meat from the side;
then cut the sides in strips about
three inches wide, cutting across
from back to belly. When you
have your sides all cut in this way,
take your barrel and cover the bot
tom three-tourths of an incl, deep
with salt; then take your pieces Of
pork and set them on edge, the skin
next to the barrel, and bind them
around in the barrel, making the
circle smaller and smaller, until you
have perfect layer, and as close
together as you can well press each
piece with the hand; then fill all
open spaces with salt. Then, with n
square ended stick, or maui, pound
the pork down until it is smooth on
top. Then cover with salt about
tive-eig is of an inch deep. Then
proceed with another layer as be-
fore, and so on till the barrel is FILL
ed to within three or four inches of
the top. Then make brine as
strong as can be made with salt and
boiling soft water; skim the brine
and let it cool, When cold, pour it
on the meat until the barrel is filled
within two inches Of the top. Put
board, cut to fit the inside Of the
tarrcl, OH top of the pork, and lay
upon it "nigger-head" rock weigh
ing about forty pounds. Keep the
barrel in cool place, if you have
one; if not, keep it almost anywhere
out Of the sun, and you will have
good picked pork as long rs you
keep it completely covered with
brine. have never lost any pork
put up in this way, and l have kept
it in cellars on the first floor, and in
garrcts.-C0y. Rural Nec Yorker.

Short.Horn Interests.

Not in the history of the country,
has SO many Short Horn cattle
changed hands in any one year, rs
during the year now drawing to a
close. Yet, Notwithstanding the low
prices Of beef and pork, as compar-
ed with the average ruling prices
that have prevailed since the influ-
ences of war imitation commenced,
the prices obtained for about seven
hundred head that have been sold
at public auction, during the past
six months, mainly in the States, "a
few Of those enumerated have been
sold in Canada the bulk ofthc sales
having been made near tue Missis-
sippi river and in Kentucky, have
been rcnumerative, and both demand
and prices point Enthusiastically to the
fact that Short horns are wanted.
Not by fancy monied men, as has
many times been declared by men
who have waited for prices to re-
ccdc, but by an increasing popula-
ton, the demand all the time keep
ing ahead, Of the increase in thor
ough-bred stock Of every desirable
and useful sort.
The broad acres Of Illinois, Iowa
and Missouri, have opened the way
for large and rapid increase Of
cattle, both thoroughbred and or
binary, and no man who owns land
worth over $40 or $l5 an acre, need
be told that self interest demands
that he feed his grain and grass to
such beasts rs will pay quick and
liberal return for the provender
consumed; and while thousands ct
farmers in the States named, are
content with uninproved cattle, the
farmers OF Kansas, and the new
regions beyond, arc shipping, by
every available avenue, herds OF
thoroughbred Short Horns, as well
as collections Of other improved
farm stock, and Kansas, to-day, &C.
cupies position far in advance Of
that occupied by Iowa or Illinois,
when in the same stage of progress,
and having a corresponding popu-
lation.
These reflections arc called out
by the results of several sales that
have TRANSFERRED during this month,
the results Of some of which we
publish in this number. These
sales have been made late in the
season, just upon the eve of winter,
hence unreasonable; the cattle hav-
ing generally been upon poor pas.
