Butter.Making in Vermont.

In Vermont farmers derive their wealth
from various sources. 1t is seldom that a
farmer engages in one branch Of farming to
the exclusion Of all others But what de.
partment he pays the most attention to de.
ponds in a considerable degree upon the
relative price Of the different productions Of
bis farm Notwithstanding this tluctuation,
however, hutter-making has ever been cx-
tensively carried on in this State. OF
course when butter is very low there is o
shifting TO something else, to return when
the price advances Bat people here are
beginning to learn that if the quality Of
their butter is right. tho price will Ne cor
respnndingy high There was time when
nearly every man expected to get as much
for his butter as bis ueighbor, but that time
bas passed The buter.dealer is beginning
to realize that If he would get the highest
prices be must have the best quality Of but.
ter. and that there is no such thing as de.
cciyiug his customers by trying to impose
upou them an inferior article. 1t has been
customary for most all large dairymen to
keep their butter until fall, so as TO get q
larger price for il. but think in so doing
the butter has not been Of so good a quality
as it would have been If it had been carried
to market Immediately after it was made
Some are learning thi, fact, and are sending
their butter 20 market weekly receiving ns
much or even more than they have been
accustomed to 10 ihe fall If this plan can
be generally adopted much less poor butter
will be crowded upon our markets to be
urged upon buyers at any price they may
choose to give
Dairymen are also being aroused to the
Importance of trying to improve the quality
Of their butter by taking more pains in its
manufacture Large pans are being intro.
ducad, holding the milk Of as many as
twenty cows, so arranged that ice water can
be made to flow under the bottom aud round
the sides Of the pans, cooling the milk aud
keeping it at more even temperature
during the hot season BY this plan more
cream is realized and better butter is made,
besides saving an immense amount Of extra
labor required when small pans are in use.
Improvements are being made in dairy
rooms and the coolest and most convenient
place being selected FOR summer use But
the end is not yet Good butter is good
thing, and the consumer is sending back to
the producer the cry for better butter, for
which he will pay a better price. Let all
heed the cry.-GermqRi0icR Telegraph.

What would you think of one who was
permitted to light his dwelling at night as
brilliantly as be would, without cost, who
should only kindle solitary jet amid the
darkness Of his home, and sit down content
in that sombcr twilight Or Of one who
should have free access to spacious garden
filled with bloom, with leave to pluck and
gather what he chose who should only put
one foot inside the gate and take away a
single flower2 Or of one made welcome
to draw from a bank account of millions
who should fill his check with only enough
to keep him from absolute starvation ?
Would these men be any wiser, would they
honor their beneiactors more than we, 10
whom Jesus opens all his stores of grace,
aud who yet keep so faint spark of spirit
ual life, aud who experience so little Of COM

The wind one morning spraug up from sleep
Nov tor med-cap galloping chase
I'll make commoton In every place"
So Il swept with hustle right through great town,
Cracking the signs and scattering down
shutters and whisking, with mcrcess squalls
Old Nomen's bonnets and gingerbread Iais'
There never was heard much lqstef shout
As the apples and oranges uundlel about
And the urchlns that stand with their thlevish eyes
Forever on watch, ran N each with prize.
Then away to the field 70 went clustering and hum
And The cattle all wondered whatever was coming
II plucked ty the tails the grave matronly cows,
And tossed tho colts names all over their hrowsi
TIL, offended at such an unusual salute,
They all turned their backs and stood suky and mute
50 on Il went caporing and playing rs panks,
Whistling with reeds on the broad rivers banks,
Pulling the birds As they AZ on the spray,
" the traveller grave on the kings highway.
u was not too nice 20 hustle tho bags
OF the hcggar, and nutter biz dirty rags
Twas So bold that u feared not to play its iuke
With the DOCTORS viz or the gontlemau's CLOAK.
Through the forest 1t ronred, and cried galy Vow,
You sturdy old caks, III make you Tow 90
And 1t made them bow without more ado
Or 70 cracked their great branches through ana
through.
Then Il rushed like a monster on cottage and fsfm,
striking their dwellings with sudden alarm
Aud they ran out Ike bees in midsummer swarm
There were danes with their kofchcis tied over their
caps
To see i}t6eir poultry were free from mlshap.
Inc turhtA- intN ANuultt inc -tt-t ANNA
And the hens crcpt to roost In a terrified crowd
There was rearing Of ladders and logs laying on
Where the ,hatch from the roof threatened soon TO be
gone.
But the wind had swept on, and had met ln a lane
With schoolbov who painted aud struggled 10 vain
For 10 tossed him and tWirlcd him then passed and
he stood,
with bis hat In a pool and Die shoes 10 The mud.
Then away went the Wind In he holiday gloe,
And now 10 was far on the billuwy sea,
And the lordly ships felt its staggering blow,
And the little boats darted 10 ana fro.
But 10 it was night, and 1t sank TO rest
On the ses-hird's rock IN the cleaning west,
Laughing 20 think IN is fearful iun,
How little misel " IL had done.
