Sailing BUTTER.

The action, of salt, sugar, saltpetre,
&c, is to attract the water of the butter
milk to itself The best butter may as
easily be made with pure salt as by the
addition of the other ingredients named
The action of salt is to penetrate the
buttermilk, absorb water, and make a
strong brine, thus rendering decompo-
sition and consequent putridity impossi-
BILE. Buttermilk, the presence of which
in butter imparts disagreeable taste,
and subsequent rancidity to the mass,
can be removed by working alone.
The removal is assisted by the use of
salt Washing in pure cold water aids
materially in this. The quantity OF
salt used varies in different diaries. At
the first working about three per cent
of the weight of the butter should be
used, taking care not to injure the grain
of the butter in working. After an in
terval of twelve hours, the butter should
be reworked, after which it may be
packed, adding about one per cent more
salt at this time If the butter is prop
erly made, this quantity of salt will be
sufficient. No foul odors should be ad-
mitted about the room where the milk
is kept and where the various operations
are performed This is essential A
good ordinary rule in butter-making is
to use one ounce of pure salt to the
pound of butter, and if you allow also
an ounce of the best graduated sugar to
each four or five pounds, it will do no
harm, butw assistin the preservation
but the best butter is made by attention
to strict care in the manipulation, and
the perfect condition of the packages
used.-WEsTERN RURAL.

FRAUDS IN COMMERCIAL MANURES.

The uncertainty as to the value of
the commercial manures found in the
market is constantly being brought to
the notice of farmers through careful
analysis made by competent chemists.
1t is not long since that Prof Samuel
w. johnson, of the Sheffield Scientific
School, demonstrated from actual tests
that different brands of phosphate sold
in the market at from $50 to $50 per
ton only possessed an actual gold value
of from S27 to $47 per ton. And re-
Gently a committee of the New York
State Agricultural Society (of which
Hon. John Stanton Gould was chair
MANI has made careful analysis Of
ten different samples of guano, the
market price of which was from $50 to
800 per ton, which they found to be
worth from S24 to 500 per ton Two
samples in the lot were largely adul-
terated with sand, fact which may
not affect the honesty of the dealers,
but may come from natural causes, lay
ers of sand often occurring in the guano
beds, and four were heavily adulterated
with brick dust, fact which shows to
what receptions unthinking purchasers
are subjected, and one which tells heav
lily against certain vendors Of these ma
nures. The samples in question were
very accurately tested, and when the
larger bulk of many of them consists
of materials nearly worthless, it is dis
couraging business for farmers to pur-
chase them at from $50 to $50 per ton.
The result of this late analysis goes to
show what heaps of hard-earncd mon
ey are taken from farmers every year
by the manufacturers and vendors of
different kinds of commercial fertilizers
from which no adequate return is re-
ceived And this will 90 on, we sup
pose, until our farmers get cheated to
their satisfaction, when we hope they
will give more attention to the compost
heap and other home sources of supply.
This is the only thing that will save
them.

PROFITS oE TIMOTHY SEED.-A cor
respondent of the Detroit FREE Press
writes:
Last season we saved about five
acres of grass for seed. Some of our
neighbors laughed at us. They said
we were foolish, when hay was SO high
But we made almost double what we
would if we had cut it for hay There
would not have been over four tons at
the most, and the hay would have
fetched SIG a ton, which would have
been $64 for the hay. Well, there were
two tons of straw, which brought $l2
so per ton-$25 for the straw; there
were twenty-four bushels of seed, which
brought $3.50 per bushel-$S4 for the
seed; and $25 which would be $l09.
Now subtract 50 for threshing, which
would leave $lO6, and you see there
was $42 more profit in the seed than
there would have been in the hay,

CLUBS AND GRANGEs-Au Eastern
paper speaking of the Oranges says:
One-third of all the elevators and
grain warehouses in the State are now
owned or controlled by Oranges and
no less than five million bushels of
grain were shipped to Chicago on
Grange account prior to December 1st,
last
The number of cattle and hogs ship
ed in the some manner is enormous, and
the reports received from all these ship
ments show an increased profit to the
farmer of from ten to forty per cent, as
compared with the amount received at
the hands of the average middlemen'
in times previous.
In the matter purchasing agricul-
tural implements direct from the manu-
facturers, the Grange purchasers Of the
State have saved the farmers, by actual
computation and comparison at the i'm
plement store, $3G5,000. For instance,

an's of testimonials have been received showing that
these POWDERS have performed miracles IN curing

the lingering diseases often the result Of the many
nosruns of the day. Physicians recommend them as
superior to Quinne any other known remedy, for
they leave the system in healthy state and patient

STAGNANT WATER.AStagnant c

STAGNANT WATER--Stagnant or
foul water is injurious to all animals.
1t causes blood poisoning, and leads to
many febrlc complaints. 1t brings on
abortion in other animals as well as
sows. A COW in calf should be dried
some little time before calving, else she
will drop poor, scraggy calf. Unless
the cow be young, she need not go dry
more than six weeks before calving.

How Early Should Heifers Have Calves.

There is great difference in the
practice of farmers in this respect
SEINE feeding high and breeding as
early as possible, and others keeping
heifers away from the bull until their
third year, feeling quite satisfied with
a calf at three years old. 1t is admitted
that the heifers grow larger that breed
late, and if beef is prominent object
in the animal this may be good policy.
But in dairy districts we want milk,
butter, and cheese at the earliest mo-
ment that the animal is capable Of pro-
ducing them economically. The DER
seys and their grades bring calves quite
early, sometimes at Is months old fire.
quently at Is months, and as a rule at
two years or under. The heifers that
come in at fifteen months frequently
lose their calves, and their growth is
good deal retarded. But the milking
qualities of the animal are generally de-
veioped, and if the heifers have rich
pasture and are well fed during the
winter we prefer to have them come in
the second spring after birth, say from
20 to "a months old. This saves at
least years keeping, and we think
makes better COW, although she may
not be quite so large. The cost Of
keeping a two-vear-old heifer in the
older states is from S35 to $50 year,
and if there is no calf until she is three
years old it is so much money out of
pocket We have never been able to
discover much difference between the
quantity of milk given by Il heifer in
her second and third year. If well
cared for, the two-year-old begins to
pay as soon as she brings calf If
of good stock, and a heifer, the calf
will be as well worth raising as any
subsequent calf dropped by the same
mother. She will probably give more
than milk enough to pay for her years
keeping, and the calf will be clear gain.
The cost of keeping cows in the East
ern States is now so great, that one
needs to put them to breeding at the
earliest day it can be safely done. At
three years old the animal has consum-
ed not far from eighty dollars worth of
food, whether she have yielded any re-
turn or not. If YOU can put fifty dol
lars to her credit at the close of the
third year it looks a little more like
making the raising of dairy cows liv-
ing business.
