BUTTER MAKING,

For the beEeft of those who are seek
ing to improve their methods, we give
the following extract from the report on
Chester county butter, made by Mr..
Warning, to the American Jersey Cattle
Club:
| Marshall Strobe does not follow but
ter making as fine art, but for money.
He has celler ten feet below the SUR
face, we'll ventilated and clearly. His
milk is here kept at temperature OF
about IS degrees His cream he cools
the night before churninG with Jumps of
| ice Just before the butter comes he
throws into the churn a bucket of ice
water, This gives him hard, close
grained butter, even III July. he sells
| himself in the Farmers market, and
gets this year, on the average, 80 cents a
pound on all he makes.He can do what few
| farmers here or in England or Flanders
can boast Of. He will buy fair native
cow for about $65. and in one year she
will pay for herself twice over IN butter.
He will agree within twelve month TO
sell from her $3.50 worth of butter. The
sour milk ola cow will make 100 pounds
Iof pork, and her calf sells for So or $40.
| Thus his COWS, the common natives Of
the country, pay him about $3.50 year.
/ Can a butter maker in Herkimer or
Ulster, or Orange, or Essex, make better
showing? How Go those farmers get
|such price for their butter?
/ First, They always make tlrst-class
article, so their customers, sure of getting
the best there is, will not desert them on
account of rise in the price. Second,
They bring in their butter in snowy
and attractive condition. No pot or
delft ware, no tub or pail or oak or hem
Hook, no vulgar tlrkin is used to entomb
those noble balls, golden-hue, with the
aroma of white clover and poG pr0te2ase
lingering in the first grain. A large tin
vessel, designed expressly for the bust
ness, has chambers at each end into which
ice is put. Thin wooden shelves about
8 inches apart, rest on little projections
from the sides. Alayer oil balls is placed
, on the bottom and covered with its
isbelf, but not so as to touch or mar the
handsomest print of sheaf or golden
grain, which stands out on the top of
leach ball; and on this shelf another
layer of prints, and so on till the vessel
is full, then containing forty or fifty
pounds prints The tin, with ice in
each end, is then set into wooden tub
which has been cooled with ice or spring
water. Over this draw d cover of pad
ded carpeting with oil cloth on top.
Thus hot air and dust are wholly exclud-
ed, and the butter rides to the city and
opens in the market house in as fine con-
ditlon as when packed in the spring
house. Unjust this way, with this degree
of skill, is the best Philadelphia butter
made, marked and marketed. Phjladel-
phians would rather pay seventy five
cents than go back from such mamma to
the eeks and onions of the common
firkin.
On September /, 1878, John Henry,
farmer. residing east of Blissfield, Mich,
went to that village, got drunk, and
while riding home fell from his wagon
and so injured his neck that death ensued
in short time. At the present term of
the Circuit Court, his widow, Sarah. sued
Blissfeld saloon-keeper named David
Lemly, under the State law. for the
damages she sustained by the death of
her husband. After prolonged and
sharply-contested trial, the jury return~
ed verdict for the plaintiff of $500
