Short-Horn Butter VS.. Winthrop Jersey

Short-Horn Butter VS.. Winthrop Jersey.
Several week, since. correspondent
Short Horn sent To the Journal sample
81 tuiicy made from The milk OF Durham
COWS. aud rather pointediy required Us to
state ''ia what respect 1t Is inferior to
u.Arop-Jer>ey butter" The sample
Was taken from n churuing Of fourteen
pounds aud was made in three and a half
DAYS from the milk OF four cows. in May.
We beg the pardon OF our correspondent
Tor cur neglect in attending to this matter.
The neglect was not intentional by any
ucau~. but occurred inadvertently through
iaf press Of other matters. aud We viii
Haw ~ u DO ample justice 10 this butter
question.
First We will say that the sample was
yt-y ..ce batter. II all Durham cows
could produce equally a. good an article.
W. should ccaSe 10 ex;ol the Jerseys much
above them. Bat We must be caution, in
taa>e matter, OF declaring upon thc merits
al different breeds of cows from an III
spocti"n and a gusta;ory experience of
caolcr samples Of The produce of the bc,t
COWS. IAen again We must beware lest
Wa attribute qualities Impaired by the
la-.ea.rss skill Il the fair genius Of the
dairy. 20 the superiority Of the dairy COW.
Before we decide that Short Horns make
equally a, good butter a the Jerseys We
would Ike 10 have several excellent butter
makers take the best cows OF each breed
aud all make samples Of both kinds. Then
equal sAill would be bestowed upon each
k'nd. and the best product Of the best
cows would be produced.
A. - the specimen here referred 10 We
VII say that it j. equally a. good as the
general product Of the jersey. Admitting
;A.-, does not initiate in the least again i
q previously expressed opinion, that tn e
Jerseys a, Jrcci are ahead Of anything
We have for buticr-maktn= We are ever
ready TO admit that there are Short Horn
cows which are excellent buiter-makcr~
scarcely If any Inferior To the better cla,A
Of Jerseys. let We regard such as cx-
crgHonai cases. Take the whole mass Of
Short Horns and Jerseys and compare
'hem together, and the Jersey i decidedly
stsr'ar to the Durham in bu,ter-making
qualities, but iaferiar in every other respect.
W. claim for the Jersey excellence in only
enc respect and that i as 5utier-producers.
We cheerfIliy grant to the Durhams their
great superiority As cheese-makers. beef
producers and stock-raisers. which. ii
seems To u. should be satisfactory to their
mos. ardent champions. Il is utterly i'm
possible TO combine in one breed of ami
mails tile best qualities for -tock-raising,

IL AN article on the utilization Of waste
material, the Scientific American says !:
There are quite a number of patented
processes for the utilization OF waste leath-
er board, valuable Tor a variety of employ
meut,. One way consists IA grinding the
material to a meal-like powder, mixing il
with gums aud cements, and applying
steam. The compound is then kueaded
aud rolled into She cts. Another plan is TO
mix old leather, hemp fiber. and sheepskin
cuttings, ana boil with soda ash Sulphuric
acid and coloring matter are subsequently,
added, and the substance. nodded into
sheets, forms good quality of leather
board. Oerting's process makes good
waterproof article. which IS useful for max
ing buckets and similar objects 1t con.
sists in dissolying rubber in benzoine. ID
which 4 quantity of ammonia is AFTER
wards added. The leather in the form o.
pulp i next put in, and the whole work C
into a plastic dough. Slaughter hous,
cuttings are worked up into glue, rawhid,
wips. and small fancy articles in immense
variety.
We had almost forgotten one valuabl,
employment of old boots-the manufacture
ofjelly. The reader may stare, but science
smiles superior and asserts very emphatic.
ally that toothsome delicacy can be made
from a dilapidated foot-coyering. Some
time ago, DR.. Wander Weyde, OF this city
RECALLED some friends not merely with boot
Jelly. but with shirt coffee, and the repasi
was pronounced by all partakers excellent.
The doctor tells us that he made the jelly
by first cleaning the boots, and subsequent
ly boiling it with soda under pressure OF
about two atmospheres. The fannie acid
in the leather. combined with salt. made
tannate of soda, and the gelatin rose TO
the top. whence it was removed and dried.
From this last. with suitable navoring ma
terial the jelly was readily concocted.
The shirt coffee. which We incidentally
mentioned above, was sweetened with cuff
and collar sugar, both coffee and sugar
being produced in the same way. The
linen (afrer. of course, washlng,l was
treated with nitric acid, which, acting on
the Ignite contained in the fibre, produced
glucose, or grape sugar. This, roasted,
made an excellent imitation coffee, which

sweetened.

The instruments from this establishment

MIR. Miller is himself practical mechan-

Boston people are very particular, and
among them are some excellent judges of
musical instruments. Is it then remarha-
bic that the school committee selected the
Miller piano for use in the public schools /?
Boston is not alone In this. More than
fifty academies and schools in New Eng
land are doing the same thing. These
instruments are first-class in every re-
spect, and they are deservedly popular.

| In this movement, which we be-
lieve to be the cause of God, we feel
that the prophecy found in Joel, I'd
chapter, 28th, 29th verses, is being
fulfilled; Il will pour out my spirit
!. upon all flesh, and your sond and
daughters shall prophecy, and also
upon the servants and upon the
handnaaids, I will pour out my spir-
it"
We are impelled by Gods spirit-to
labor IN this cause, which we feel to
be His. Our object is not notoriety,
buf we are called upon to plead with
these men to desist from q business
which causes the destruction of tenn
pora1 and spiritual interests. I will
illustrate by beautiful legend, the
blessedness of performing our duty
at whatever cost to our own inclina-
ton.
A beautiful vision of our Savior
had appeared to a monk, and in 81
lent bliss he gazed upon it. The
hour arrived in which it was his duty
to feed the poor of the convent. He
fingered not in his cell to enjoy the
vision, but left it to perform his duty.
When he returned he found the
blessed vision still waiting for him,
and uttering these words, &Hadst
thon stayed I must have fed"
What motive could-impel- -a-te
sacrifice to sense ofduty the natural
timidity which is apart ofour nature,
when we visit these saloon keepers,
and on bended knees plead with God
to open their eyes, to soften their
hearts, and entreat them to give up
a business SO subversive of the inter
ests of society. Is it because we
have nothing to do at home? Do we
lay aside the responsibilities of the
housekeeper, that we may go up and
down the streets, to compel men to
accede to our requests? No, my sis
tersl Our motives are nobler than
these. Heavy as the cross is, and
J the burden oh, how great! this does
not make US falter in oar duty. But
we go forth in the spirit of charity,
to persuade these men that we are
laboring for their best interests, and
that our mission is one of love. We
are all praying for the same result,
and working to attain the same glo-
rious consummation of our hopes.
Then, sisters, let US persevere, with
our shield of faith FURNISHED anew
for the conflict, and we will fully
realize the preciousness of the prom
ise, 'Cast thy bread upon the
waters, for thou shalt find it after
many days"

q Democratic nomination for Con-
gress, and that gentleman we learn,
is canvassing the southern part of
this District, looking after his inter-

deared himself to that party by his
determination to sell intoxicating
liquors in spite of the prayersand en-
treaties of the good women of Hills
boro; in spite of public. sentiment,
and in open view of the accursedness
of the unholy traffic; and that is what
seems to be the basis of his claims
