Churnlng Whole Milk.

OUR correspondent, and others who can
not preserve a uniform temperature for
the milk without keeping it in contact
with the air in the living room, may
make firstclasS butter by churning the
whole milk, without skimming, or at
least skimming only so far as to furnish
cream for domestic uses.
The plan to be pursued when the whole
milk is to be churned, is to save the milk
ings until enough is gathered for churn-
ing, allowing what cream will rise to do
50. Then, pouring cream and milk to-
gether into a suitable vessel, set it where
it will become sour n thick, avoiding
all stirring or shaking, so as not to
break the film on top, and thus allowing
air to enter the mass, which would cause
rapid fermentation. The proper degree
Of acidity may be known by the film or
skin becoming thick and uneven over the
contents of the vessel in which it is
placed; a deep, large jar may be used.
When the proper degree of ourness has
come, churn Immediately, having the
milk at a temperature of Gjo which is
somewhat higher than that necessary for
the proper churuing of cream. Churn
steadily and at an even stroke until the
butter is formed, and then proceed with
the sailing and working as in ordinary
cases. This plan will enable you to keep
your jar where there is a fire. Where
facilities for raising the cream are not
good, and where only Il few COWS are
kept, this way Is both easy and economi-
cal.
In Holland, where much whole milk is
churned, the milk is repeatedly stirred to
prevent the cream from rising, which
au5es the mass to thicken rapidly. The
proper degree of sOurneSS is determined
by its being thick enough to hold a spoon
upright. If it do not adhere to a bone or
ivory knife, it is right for churning.
In Brittany, on the other hand, the
mornings milk is poured directly into
the churn, to which is added the preced-
ing evenings milk. The whole is then
allowed to stand several hours when it is
churned and worked. Both of these
methods are said to give excellent butter.
1t is a w~ellknOWn fact that both Holland
and Brittany dairies are noted for the
superior qualities of their butter.
1t is claimed that d given quantity of
milk, churned whole, will give five per
cent. more Of butter than where the cream
is allowed to rise. Butter Of the most
superior quality can be made from whole
milk churnings, and the whole process is
simple and easy. 1t is principally a ques-
ton Of labor i'll churning so large a mass.
This, however, is not Onerous where but
few cows are kept. The butter is also
gilt-edged when fresh, and keeps equally
we'll with that made from crcam.-Wes est

How He Got into Business.

A MATCHMAKER at Florence, Ala, once
told US how he managed to get into bust
ness there. He settled in the place q
stranger, just after the people had started
a new tOWn-clOck in the tower OF the
court house, but nobody came to give
him a Job. A week or two passed on
without improving his prospects, when in
a kind Of desperation he determined to
make a bold strike for business. Every
body swOre by the town-clock, Of course,
a fact which our matchmaker knew, so
after night he made his way into the
tower and changed the hands a few min
utes. Heard nothing of it on the day
following, and SO changed them again
the next night. On the morning after
the second change had been made, a man
called on the matchmaker and spoke of
employing him to regulate the town
clock; but the matchmaker told him he
thought no regulation was necessary, as
he had noticed that the clock was run
ming exactly with his time, and, drawing
forth his watch, he compared 1t with the
clock, and sure enough they were exactly
together. Next morning the town-clock
and the watches of the place were further
apart than usual, and the gentleman who
had called at the watch-shop the day be-
fore now again presented himself accom-
panied by several friends. To their great
surprise they found the watchmaker's
regulator and watch still exactly with
the clock, and that settled the question.
They all left their watches to be cleaned,
remarking that they would rather have
| no watches at all than watches that did
not keep time. The news spread; other
irregular watches came in by the score
until, before the day was over, the watch
maker had the windows hung entirely
| full of work.-Nobis Register.

A San Francisco widow is ahead in the
marrying business. She was fair, and
young, and well-to-do, and young man
had phghted his troth to her. Suddenly his
visits ceased, and the widow sent out spies
to discover his lurking place. These faith
full agents ascertained that the young man
was about making other matrimonial ar
rangements with young girl to whom he
was paying assiduous attentions. The
blooming widow, resolved not to be basely
deceived, found'a pistol which had been the
property of her first husband, loaded it, and
went hunting for her love-. She found him
at the house and in the company of his
younger eharmer, and having previously
provided herself with marriage license,
persuaded him to accompany her to the
marriage altar. She thus happily saved an
inexperienced young man from committing
the crime of deceiYing trusting woman.

Schools for OolOred Children.


Schools for COlOred Children.
The Supreme Court of New York
has decided that the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States does not prohibit
boards of education from establishing
separate schools for colored youth,
inasmuch as this abridges no privilege
of ascitizen, since no citizen has the
privilege of choosing the school in
the city, to which he viii send his
children. The courts add
"The relator has equal common
school advantages with other citizens.
He does not assert that the school
which is open to him, is not as good
as the one which is closed. He does
not pretend that there is anything in
its position, its pupils, or its teachers,
which makes the limitation of his
childrenrto that school practical re-
fusal TO them of common school ad-
vantages. If the school which is open
to his children, were materially OBJ
iectionable, or if it were an improper
school for them to attend, a very DIFF
ferent question might then arise.
This decision is substantially the
same as the one given by the Supreme
Cour.. Of Ohio few months since
Both agree that the equality of rights
guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amend
ment, does not imply that white and
colored youth shall attend the same
schools any more than it necessitates
the attendance of the two sexes at the
same Schools view held by us from
thefrst. What the amendment plain
ly guarantees is, that the two races
shall be provided with equal public
advantages, and it is'to be regretted
that neither of these decisions un
equivoeally denies the right of school
boards to maintain inferior schools
for colored youth-an injustice much
too common even In Ohio and New
York. It is true that both decisions
imply that the school adyantagesfur-
nished must be equal, but something
more than this is needed to correct
the wrong-[Ohio Ed. Monthly, Feb.
