Butter Making.

THE only object in working butter is to
get out the blltteruilk and afterward i'll
corporate the salt. When the churning
is properly done and the butter comes
hard and close grained. but little working
is needed. If water is used but little
washing is required. AS TO whether
washing j. absolutely necessary is mat
ter of dispute among the best butter
makers. and fancy butter is made both
with and without washing. Our impress
sion is that the less waShingaS well a the
less working. the better. if the buttermilk
is got out. But it must be freed from
buttcrmilk, or nearly SO if tine-flavOr,d
good keeping article is made. and it is
better. in our judgment, to wash in pure
cold water than to work the bu ter much.
But we would not Use water much below
sixty degrees for washing, and by all
means avoid bringing ice in contact with
the butter. In working we would avoi,!
rs much as possible all rubbing or grind
ing motion. The aim should be to keep
the grain unbrokcn rs much a. possible.
We say nothing about the best butter
worker. or the best method of working.
We aim more to discuss principles, aid
leave their application to the Judgment of
but er-makers. But by all means keep
the hands out OF the butter. The heat
from them Injuries the particles that come
in contact with the hand. and through
these haStens the decay of the whole batch.
Besides ii looks more. clearly, il il is not.
To keep the hands out. In cheeSe-making
we prefer not To have the hands used
much. A rake. carefully used. we know
by experience, is better and easier 10 work
than the hands.
Sailing is an important part of the pro-
cess of butter-making, but it is simple.
After the buttermilk is out, spread out the
mass and sprinkle over il from half an
ounce to an ounce of salt for each pound
OF butter. and then thoroughly incorpo-
rate it with the batch. Do not leave it To
stand in strcakS for a second working.
Whatever else you may do. incorporate
the salt evenly at once and without delay.
If the butter is right, we think it is better
10 do all the working at Cnce. and pack il
down before you leave it. If you let it
stand. cover il up carefully. Keep it i'm a
cool place-that is, at about the trmpcra-
ture Of sixty degrees. ana exclude the
light from it. Although you want the
light on your milk. to give color To the
cream. yOu 10 not want The light on your

Cultivation of Sorghum.

A PENNsYLvAIA farmer writing to the
New York Tribune upon some expert
ments on the cultivation of sorghum, says:
SO little has been said oGJate upon the
cultivation Of sorghum that am tempted
to believe that it has ceased to be cOnsid-
cred a matter of agricultural Importance.
However this may be, there are doubtless
those who still grow it Tor the kindred
plant, Chinese sugar camel, ard to such |
would like to make a suggestion that will
prove, 1 think, of considerable practical
Importance. would advise the breaking
or otherwise marring the seSd stalk or
head so that the seed could by no posi-
bility mature, and by so doing necessarily
exhaust large per cent. OF the saccharine
matter OF the plant in the formation of
the starch of the seed. | am led to make
this suggestion from observations made
while experimenting in sirup-making
from the stalks of sweet corn. | found
by breaking off the incipient ears as they
appeared far larger yield and a much
richer sap was obtained than when the
plant was suffered to mature its seed, and
this would dOubtlessly be the same with
the plants referred to.
Nor is this all; think may 90 further
and predict that plants so treated would
furnish sap that would readily yiele
graduated sugar. To my apprehension
the formation OF the starch necessarily ex-
hausts, to a great degree. that portion of
the sap that crystallizes in sugar making.
The true cane, as | understand, natures
no seed, or is used before the seed is ma
tured. its propagation being by suckers
or sprouts. The sap of the maple will
not make sugar after the buds start,
though it yields a rich strip. proving
that the formation of lignin or wood fiber,
which chemically is nearly identical with
starch, exhausts that portion of the sac
charine matter which previously crystal
lized. Both starch and lignin are readily
recovered into granulated sugar, differ
ing, it is true, somewhat from common
sugar--being whatis know as grape sugar,
still, this very fact would set m to confirm
the idea that in their formation nature
used but some particular parts Of the sap
Of the plant.
