COIOring Butter.

A dairy man Of large experience furnishes
rule for coloring butter. Like all rules,
of this kind, however, it must be used
with discretion and Judgment. The receipt
is as follows
"Dssolve two ounces of the best Span
ish Annatto in one quart of soft cold water;
shake we'll and frequently until the Annat-
to is dissolved; strain the liquid through a
cloth, add one teacupful of Ashton Salt,
put the mixture into bottle, shake it well,
cork it tight and it will then be ready for
use. When the cream is ready for the
ohurn, add, in the ratio of one teaspoonful
of the liquid to every six quarts of cream.
at should be borne in mind that early
in the season, before the grass feed COM
mences, light yellow or straw color is
better than deep yellow, and also, when
the butter partially assumes color from the
natural feed of grass the further coloring
by this or any other process, will not cause
it to keep better through the season. We
will add that, while the above rule may
serve as guide, the quantity should be
varied according TO circumstances, as every
successive churning is changed in its nat
ural color. It. therefore, requires the ex-
ercise Of Judgment, which no fixed rule
can cover, to cause all the butter to be of
one and the same color in each package
"Doubtless the natural color, as also the
quality and flavor, would be improved by
extra care and feed for the cows, and this
we do not hesitate to advise But as all
may not exercise such care, we desire to
give the information we have gathered to
those who do use artificial coloring. In
our opinion it had better be left undone
unless it can be we'll done.
In reference to the very soft and white
churnings in the warmest weather we will
say, no coloring can make them suitable fol
packing with other butter for keeping.
Put them in a separate package or dispose
of them some other way. We will add-the
most difficult packages to dispose of are
those uneven in color, white at the bottom
and yellow at the top all of which is at
once discovered when exhibited in the
butter trier.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
Farming in New England.

From the report of the Agricultural De-
partment for March we copy the following
A thorough system of crop-rotation is
found in but few counties of New England,
and in these the routine varies. The large
number of tows and cities creates de-
mand for dairy and market-garden pro-
ducts which do not admit of any rotation.
In some counties systematic rotation, and,
in fact, systematic farming of any kind is
pronounced "out of the question" Farm
ing is here pursued upon too small scale,
or in subordination to some other calling,
such as manufacturing, numbering, &c. A
tendency to indefinite repetition of the
same crop is strongly developed in some
localities. A few small farmers Erepeat
corn and small grain, as they allege, with
good results, but cases are exceptional.
Others plant potatoes every year. In Coos
County, New Hampshire, India wheat is
said to produce twenty successive good
crops where the land has BEEN annually
manured. In Hampshire county, Massa-
chusetts, tobacco has been raised for
twenty years on the same land, highly
fertilized. In Hartford county, Connect
icut, this crop has been treated with do
mestic and commercial fertilizers to the
amount of 5000 to $500 per acre, securing
returns of 5000 to 1900 per acre. In
Rhode Island field-crops of onions are re-
peated from five to eight years, or until
the smut destroys them.
The high price of hay, averaging $25 per
ton in the Boston market, keeps large
area of land in grass. Very frequently.the
sod is broken up only at long intervals,
either for re-seeding in timothy or clover,
or for brief alteration of root or grain
crops, to rest the land and prepare it for
new departure in grass-cropping. The
period is heightened by heavy annual top
dressing with barn-yard manure and
plaster. In Newport County, Rhode
Island, meadows are kept growing for ten
to twelve years, by a liberal application of
sea-weed every year. Here, however, the
white worm, a larva of the May beetle,
frequently destroys the grass in two or
three years from seeding.
In some counties a three years course
1. corn %. potatoes; 3. wheat-is practiced
In others corn is followed by small grain,
and subsequently by several crops of grass,
extending the course to 6 or 8 years, as in
some localities in Rhode Island. The sod
is sometimes topdressed with manure be.
fore breaking for root or grain crops. Grass
seed is comonly sown with small grain.
Systematic smanuring is reported as the
rule in three counties in Maine, two in New
Hampshire, one in Massachusetts,, two in
Rhode Island, and two in Connecticut
The periods range from three to ten years
Generally sod is broken for corn or po-
tatoes which are followed by small grair
and then by grass for several years. II
these counties cultivation is generally very
thorough, the land being sometimes plowet
to the depth of inches and subsoiled 1.
inches. Unprogressive farmers sharply
criticise the subsol process, but its results
are stated to be very satisfactory, retaining
the strength Of the manure and saving sub
sequent cultivation.

RAILROAD MATTERS,

The first car of the European and North
American Railroad ever in Boston, arrived
via the Eastern road on Saturday.
Some idea of the extent of the Pullman
Palace Car Company may be gathered from
the fact that its cars are now running on 1872
different lines of railroad that there are 700 OF
them in all, and that 1870 new ones have just
been completed. Twelve millions Of dollars
have been invested in the company.
The citizens of the various towns on the
line of the Penobscot Bay and River Railroad
are contributing very literally for its com.
pletion. Nearly $4,000 were raised in
Bangor in one day, and only a few Of the
business men were visited. Sl050 were sub
scribed in Orono in one day while in Win
terport over $4,000 of personal subscriptions
have been made in addition to the amount to
be taken by the town. Lathly Rich, esq, of
Boston, has subscribed for $1,000 for the
benefit of Winterport.

WINTHROP POLITICS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
1t may be matter of surprise to many that
the republican candidate for representative
in the district of Winthrop, Wayne and Fay
cite was defeated Monday. Last year the
district gave handsome republican majority.
But unfortunately there are some of the par
ty, mostly in Winthrop, who at times have
shown decided democratic symptoms. Three
years ago this element in Winthrop bolted the
republican nomination for representative,
united with the democracy on the defeated
candidate in the republican caucus and elect
ed him. TO be sure it was political death to
the man they elected; he made laughing
stock of himself in the legislature, lost by his
course there what little influence he had in
town, and was decently buried at the county
expense Monday, with democratic Candi-
date for Senator" as his epitaph. Still it was a
victory. Since then the democrats have not
ceased to watch for a chance. This fall they
got it. atthe republican caucus in Winthrop
Henry Woodward was nominated as candi-
date for representative. For years Mr.. w.
