Giit-Edged Butter.

GILT-EDGED BUTTER is but another
name for butter of the very best
quality, 1t is generally put up in
pound prints or cakes, and sold to
regular customers in all the larger
cities, sometimes us high as SI-25 per
pound. Jersey COWS, or those having
fair share of Jersey blood in them,
are regarded 10y many Eastern dairy
men as essential to "gilt-edged'
butter-making. There is a peculiar
tlayor abost Jersey butter, agreeable
to some palates and offensive to others.
Willard regards the breed of cows as
unlmportant, and believes that fine
butter by proper manufacture, can be
made from different breeds. IT. his
Practical Butter Book, he says that

lie has a cellar ten feet below the sur

age. nearly eighty cents pound for
all he makes. He can do what few
farmers here. or in England, or Elan
ders, can boast Of He will buy a fair
native COW for about sixty-tive dollars,
and in one year she will pay for her
self twice over in butter. He will
agree within twelvemonth to sell
from her $50 worth of butter. The
sour milk of a cow will make 100
pounds of pork, and her calf he sells
for eight or ten dolaars. Thus his cows,
the common natives of the country,
pay him about $50 a year. Can a
butter-maker in Herkimer, or Ulster,
or Orange, or Essex, make a better
showing? How do those farmers get
such price for their butter? First,
they always make tirst-slass article,
SO their customers, sure of getting the
best there is, will not desert them on
account of a rise in the price. Second,
they bring in their butter in a SNOWY
and attractive condition. No pot
of def ware. no tub or pail of
oak and hemlock, no vulgar firkin is
used to entomb those noble balls,
golden-hued, with the aroma Of white
clover and poa pratonse lingering in
the firm grain. A large tin vessel, de-
signed expressly for the business, has
chambers at each end into which ice is
put. Thin wooden shelves about
three inches apart rest on little proiec-
lions from the sides. a layer of balls
is placed on the bottom and covered
with its shelf, but not SO as to touch
or mar the handsome print of sheaf
of golden grain, which stands out on
the top of each ball; on this shelf
another layer of prints, and so on till
the vessel is full, then containing
forty or fifty pound 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 is drawn a cover of padded car
prting. with oil-cloth on top. Thus
hot air and dust are wholly excluded,
and the butter rides to the city and
opens in the market house in as fine
condition as when packed in thespring
house. In just this way, with this de-
gree of skill, is the best Philadelphia
butter made, marked and marketed
No wonder the Philadelphians would
rather pay seventy-tive cents than go
back from such mamma to the leeks and
onions of the common firkin. - Western

Liquid Manure for P0t-Plants.

The beneficial results obtained from
manure-water, when judiciously APP
pled to fruiting and lowering plants,
have long been recognized by cultiva-
tors, and its use is now becoming more
general. 1t is well known that the
roots of plants are more healthy when
growing in pure soil, free from rank
manure, and that these roots viii
draw more healthy nourishment to the
plants from manure given in liquid
state than when they are encased in
rank material. which they cannot con
sumo We know that our most sue
cessful grape-growers use very little
solid manure i'll the soil-only few
bones, or bone-meal, or similar mate
rial, which cannot give off more slim
ulant than the plants can consume.
These will remain mush longer in the
soil than manure, which dissolves
rapidly, and continue their action as a
fertilizer to the end.
The successful florist has more faith
in giving stimulants when the plant
really needs them than in keeping the
roots buried III soil made rich and al
most offensive by strong manure.
When roots are few and the plants al
most at rest the purer the soil and the
less stimulant the plants receive the
better Will they thrave when their
roots come to draw up larger supplies
of nourishment. Moisture is needed
to soften the soil and to allow the
roots TO extract nourishment from it;
but when all the virtue is out of the
earth, and the plants begin to show
signs ofsdistress, all the watering in
the world Will not give vigor to the
exhausted functions. But let a
portion Of guano or any well-prepared
manure lac mixed with the water, suf
iicient 10 color it, and let this be re-
peated al every watering, instead of
giving much stronger dose at longer
intervals and the result will be most
satisfactory. We have tried a number
of experiments this season with liquid
manure, and all lead us 10 have faith
in the application of it, at every water
ing, in a weakly state.
a number of old fuchsias were
stunted and pot-bound, and pressure
of more important matters prevented
our potting them into fresh earth; but
to each watering coloring of guano
was allowed, and the plants, with their
pot-bound roots, have not only made
vigorous growth. but lowered freely
from June onward till November.
Some pelargoniums, which were
cut down last season and allow
ed to break in the usual way,
were shaken out of the pots
and placed in smaller ones; but
when they should have been shifted
they were allowed to remain in the
small pots, which were crammed with
roots. Guano-water was given at all
times when they required moisture,
and the plants grew and made fine foli-
age and lowered better than others
which were favored with large pots
and fresh soil.-N. \. independents

over the cigaritos and smoking
tobacco for sale. She will chat
with you very pleasantly in bro

any compliments; she evidently
distrusts such coin. a gentle

cred that common gallantry re-

pipes; black coffee, and the fes-

and a timbrel, played upon by
three picturesque rascals in tur-

large dark eyes have a dull,
