The steamship Great Republic has arrived at
San Francisco with advices from Yokohama to
the Did OF May. The Japanese government,
after countermanding the expedition 10 Formosa
was compelled to let it go, as the troops posi-
lively declared that they would go, and refused
to obey all orders TO the contrary. News reach

BUTTER MAKlNG.-A famous butter maker |
writes to the Rural Ne,o Yorker upon the sub
jecl as follows:
"When the butter comes" he says, and 'as |
soon as the dash churns clean, take oil the |
churn; do not gather the butter compact with |
the dasher in the churn las is usually done);
do not gather II at all, but have q hair sieve,
which first wet in hot and then in cold water,
so that the butter will not stick to 1t. Then
have piece of board that will fit inside OF
the churn to hold the butter back; turn the but
| ter from the churn through the sieve. When
the buttermilk is drained out let the butter re-
main In the churn, then take your water, hold
| ing it up high as Your head, and pour it upon
the butter in stream sufficiently large, so that
| it will force its way through the butter ; keep
the stream moving about upon the butter. This
will separate the little balls Of butter fill up
the churn with water until what little butter
milk there was In the butter Is diluted to that
extent that there will be no necessity of chang
ing the water, and the result W III be that your
butter is washed or the buttermilk all ilnsed
out of the butter without breaking, marring or
iniuring single grain of the butter.
"When it sufficiently hardens in the water,
take it out for sailing, using the ladle to get out
most of IL, then the sieve. Now comes the salt
ing and working. For butter worker an in-
cline plane in the shape of the letter A with q
round lever is preferred. Spread the buttel
upon the worker, then put OH bali the quantity

u what, taking particular care not to let the leve

nj then let it stand until morning, and work agai
OF just enough to be sure that streaks are outUl
a white streaks are parts that have not taken salt
then pack. The butter worker should stan
face to the light. The best butter bowls
:, use are the white oak butter tubs"
,s Mr.. Lewis, we believe, is the manager of
a., n. creamery, and he expresses the opinion that
al much butter can be made Oh the plan of settil

,,, | recommends that the cream of each milkil

ny or ten hours before churning. Enough mi

These suggestions appear to be sensible, al

MuLCHlNG.-Trees transpanted this spring
should be mulched as soon as the ground be-
comes dry. For this purpose grass is as good
as anything. Don't put around the tree too
much at a time, and repeat the mulch when i,
gets dry and thin. Remove it two or three
times during the summer, and stir up the ground
well, then replace. 1t will save many a tree, il
the season should be hot and dry. Strawberry
raspberry and blackberry beds should also be
well mulched. Any quantity of dry stun about
place, especially leaves, scrapngs, &c, q
short grass cut from the lawn, will do. An APP
plicaiion Of the contents Of a hot-bed is very
eneiical.-Germdntolo Teleqrayh.

THE NIaHT CART NuIsANcE.-There is no
reason why an adequate remedy for this
nuisance should not at once be afforded, that
the health and comfort of citizens may no
longer be needlessly attacked. The remedy
consists in the adoption Of that alright ap..
paratus, which has for years been employed
in the cities OF Europe, and has, within
short time, been successfully, introduced in
to the city of New York. 1t consists of an
F., exhaust pump, provided with two heads,
and stationed upon wagon; flom this pump
a hose is carried to the vault, where it is
connected with metal section, designed to
be let down to the bottom of the vault. The
other head of the pump is connected by
means of hose with an airstight receiver.
When the pump is set in motion the con-
tents of the vault are passed, in accordance
with the law which governs elastic fluid
through the hose to the receiver, without
) the slightest cmanation Of any foul odor.-
5 The method thus described, is indeed SO ire,
from all offence that, as has been repeated
ly demonstrated, it can be practised at an.
!. time of the day, and at all seasons Of tn
!, year, without causing the slightest inconve
nience or annoyance to the neighborhood.
n Although the subject is not an invitin
!. one, have deemed it my duty to call atter
,e ton to this practice of our Health Depart
Y ment, and have indicated for its benefit no
" an adeaute reform may at once be instituted
l. The only real impeachment to the introdu(
TX ton of the reform here suggested will col
sist in the opposition to be encountered fro
re a, small number who are pecuniarily int ere
s ted in perpetuating the abuse Of which
a, complain. 1t will be far from creditable
~ our authorities, if any ignorant or INTEREST,"
&c opposition is allowed to outweigh a just r
mr. gard for the health and CONT ort of the col
~. munity. My confidence in the charactt
lig efficiency and influence Of the Board
rs, Health iustifies the hope and belief that Il
in, important sanitary improvement will be
nd longer ignored, but that the leaking tub a
