DeVOnshire Butter /.

A Virginia correspondent of the Live
Stock Journal, formerly a Devonine,
sends to that journal a description of
the process by which Devonshire butter
is made. This butter G. mmands the
highest price in the English market:
The milk is set in round faring
earthen pans, nine to twelve inches
high. These are filed with new milk
and allowed to stand for twelve hours.
These earthen pans are then set on a
stove (the ordinary American cooking
stove will do), but it must only be set on
the hot plate, not over the fire. Is con-
tinues slowly heating till ring rises on
the cream the size of the bottom of the
pan. It is then taken off the stove and
allowed to stand twelve hours, or till
quite cold. Now it is ready for skim
ming, and is made into butter without
a churn. The cream is then put into an
earthern pan, same shape as those pans
the milk is set in, and is beaten up with
q wooden spatula or straight ladle,
about five inches long and four inches
wide, fiat on one side and slightly round
ing on the other, or it is sometimes
worked up with the hand.
The cream, when skinned, is called
Devonshire clotted cream; and by some
is sent up TO London, packed in one
pound tins, sold for the same price as
butter, is considered g great luxury,
and is eaten on fruit pies or with fresh
strawberries. Some use it On bread
spread thick, or with honey or molasses
spread thin. ] have been quite familiar
with all this for many years of my life.

In experimenting on the mechanical
power of horses, Samson found that the
farm horses about Paris, weigh on the
average 65l klogramnnes, and give about
1900, 600 kilogrammeteFs of useful work
per day-of ten hours The total force
necessary to produce this useful effect
is calculated at 3,6T0, 0O0 kiIogramme-
tiers. The total work done is therefore
IO2, and the useful effect about 20 kilo-
erammeters per second. These calcula-
tons are based on the estimate that the
main effort necessary in walking, the
horse being unburdened, is O.G5 of the
weight of the body; and in the trot
and gallop it is 0.10. s'tta

the sower fills his right hand with plas-

the body moves to the right, fills the
left hand with plaster and hurls it to

Hoe ana Their Diseases:

On this subject the Nashville Union
and American says:
There is great need of frst-elass
treatise on hogs, their diseases and
treatment. The animal was domestica-
ted In Europe in prehistoric times, and
although naturally Of very hardy con-
stitution, yet, like man, is now subject
to many maladies. The measles
comes from a cyst worm fcysticecrus
cellulosa), and this from the eggs of the
tape worm voided IN human excrement,
to which hogs find access. Trichine pass
from porkers to a home in human flesh :;
tape worms go from the human
system to home in the flesh of swine.
Hog cholera and cholera in man are
nearly related, bu5 do not spring from
the same organism. Both, however, we
doubt not, are produced by parasites,
which, to 8 great extent, are preventa-
BILE. Salt, ashes and sulphur a little
every week or oftener, in cornmeal, to
hogs, is a preventive fed and may re-
move cholera germs from the system.
High-bred swine are quite liable to
lung complaints and scrofula, the seeds
of which are not well understood, al
though hereditary in theirs character.
As some aristOcratic families of the
genus homo easily run out, so ali Of our
domesticated mammalis may, by i'm
proper keeping. exposure and defective
breeding. lose their natural vigor and
soundness of constitution, and die pre-
maturely. Parasite enemies OF hogs, men
and cattle are evidently on the increase.

shaker PIan q RaIsiBg oaITss.


One of the Shaker .brotherhood gave
to a correspondent Of the Country Gen
tleman the plan of raising calves pur-
sued at the Shaker village, IN Merri-
mac Co., n. II.
We take the calves from the COWS
when six days old, and feed them on
two quarts of new milk three times a
day. until they are four weeks old. The
fifth week we gradually reduce the
quantity of new milk and add skinned
milk, increasing the quantity by the
close of the week to three quarts at a
feeding. Ali the new milk given to the
calves should be taken from their
mothers.
From the time they are five weeks I'M
I'll they are three months old they are
fed on porridge prepared as follows /:
Half a pint of cat meal, one gill of
cracked wheat, boiled one hour IN six
quarts of water IN cool weather days
allowance may be cooked at a time. To
two quarts of this add two quarts of
skinned milk, making four quarts three
times day. The milk should be gently
warmed to about the temperature of new
milk, taking care not to scald it, as it
will produce collie. If calves incline to
scour, one or two raw eggs beat in their
milk will generally effect cure.
We give four quarts of the mixture
at feeding until they are ten weeks
old, then gradually diminish the
quantity during the next two weeks,
when they are weaned and turned out
to pasture. From the time they enter
the feeding pens until they leave the
pasture, there is constantly kept by
them a supply of roots-beets or pota-
toes, cut into long thin slices. We pre-
fer beets, as they prove to be the most
nutritious. When grass cannot be pro-
cured, there should be a cribful of ear
ly-cut or second-crop hay kept by
them. The pens should be kept clean
and dry; to do this, they must be
cleaned and new bedding put in every
day. The calves you saw when IN our
place, show the success of our plan of
feeding. When eleven weeks old, their
average weight was two hundred and
thirty pounds.
