How to Purify Rancid Butter.

The following methods of purify
ing rancid butter appear in Professor
X. A. Wizards 'sPractical Butter
Book, recently published: For this
purpose it should be melted in twice
it's weight of boiling water and well
shaken with it. By this means the
acids are dissolved and partly volatil-
lied, the rancidity being thus removed.
At ali times may be purified by repeated
melting with fresh portions of water,
the pure oil rising to the surface, leav-
ing the Impurities in the water. The
butter loses it's consistency by this
operation, but that may be restored to
it, at least to a great extent, by pour
ing it, when melted, into a large guam
tity OF lce-cold water. A process for
purifying rancid butter was invented a
few years ago, which consisted in cut
ting the butter into small humps and
spreading them out in great vat.
Then hot water is thrown down in a
shower from a considerable distance
upon the mass. The melted butter
rises to the surface and the impurities
are drawn off with the water. Then
the butter is subjected to shower of
cold water, and in this way, by repeat
ed washings, according to the rancidity
of the butter, it is freed from the OBJ
jectionable taste and color, and finally
it is again worked and sailed.
AS the formation of the badly-smell-
ing volatile acids depends upon the
presence of caseine, this mode of puri-
tication removes the injurious ingre-
dent. 1tmust be remarked, however,
that the butter becomes less pleasant
to the taste, the water having taken
up the. small quantity of foreign
substances which gives to fresh butter
it's fragrance and agreeable taste.
Some of the compounds of caprylic
acid have fragrant color like that of
pine apple, but the smell of capryline
itself is little known.

Dwarf Fruit Tress for Gardens.

Standard fruit trees whit heir lower
most branches springing from the
stems several feet from the ground
may be preferable in an orchard, but
| we still prefer the dwarfs, or at least
low-headed trees for the garden. In
fact, the older we grow the less in
| clined are we to climb or risk our neck
on ladders in gathering fruit. It is
quite likely that in times past when
dwarf pears were all the rage, that the
mania for these trees led to some ex-
travagant notions in regard to their
productiveness and value, still we are
not inclined to give them up, nor
to think that all kinds Of dwarf trees
are a ''humbug and delusion," as some
horticultural writer's have assumed to
believe.
Our best specimens of pears of vari-
Gus sorts are annually gathered from
pear trees worked on ounce stocks, or
what are termed dwarfs. But if we
were to planta pear orchard Of consider
able extent, we should probably select
standard trees for the purpose, as
they require less care and attention.
and are perhaps less liable to disease.
We think however that the failures
experienced by many who went into
the dwarf pear and apple culture, a
few years since, with extravagant
ideas in regard to profits, have led our
pomologists generally to discourage
the propagation and cultivation of
dwarf trees of all kinds. There is,
without doubt, some choice in the
kinds of stock to be employed in prop
agating dwarf trees, and only the best
should be used; but let us not give up
the low-headed dwarf trees, at least
for garden culture. We want trees
with branches starting near the ground,
SO that old folks and children can gath
er fruit without having to climb forty
foot ladders. If it is necessary to pro-
tect such trees from late frosts in
spring it is much easier to do so than
with lofty specimens. The same is
true in regard to destroying noxio s
insects, pruning and various other op-
| eratlons, which are sometimes neces-
sary to insure a good crop Of fruit.
1t is well known that the dwarf
trees generally come into bearing
much sooner than standard, and this
saving OF time is quite an important
matter when family has to wait for
fruit until the trees grow from bud or
cion to a bearing size. Trees trained
low will usually come into bearing
earlier than those trimmed up, even
on the. same kind of stock, and the
only real advantage of using a dwarf
kind OF plant for stock, is to save the
trouble of checking by artificial oper-
atlons, such as pruning and pinching
back the young shoots in summer.
Those who desire these low-headed
trees have only to purchase one or two
year old plants at the nurseries, and
force the branches to push out low
down on the main stem, and from that
time forward avoid trimming up; but,
instead, annually shorten all leading
or terminal shoots. In many localities
it is difficult to obtain large pears and
apples from standard or tall trees, as
they are likely to be blown off by the
wind before nature, but with low.
headed or dwarf trees this loss is
avoided.

There was very little substance to Mr.. A. G.
Riddles attempt to connect Mr. Blaine with some
improper transaction in bonds of the Kansas Pa.
ciiic Railroad. Whatlttle there was Mr.. Riddles
partner at the time, Mr.. Joseph b. Stewart plants
his heel upon, and stamps into nothingness, in the
letter elsewhere printed this morning. Consider
ing the attenuated nature of the calumny, and the
historical, legal and documentary nature of the
reply, we are forced to regard it as somewhat in
the nature OF training a columbiad to kill house,
fly. Mr.. Stewart fortifes his letter by abundant
references to the legal proceedings in his Casa
case fully set forth in Mott and Hopkins Court of
Claims reports. The noticeable feature is his ci-
taton from that case Of the original power of at
torney from John +. Blaine given him early in
1868, under which he adjusted the whole claim
about which this chatter has arisen, two years be-
fore he had met the Speaker, or knew that his
Kansas client was the Maine Speakers brother.-
Mr.. A. Nj. Gibson is also after Mr.. Riddle; and
he doubtless convinces that gentleman that his eff
fort to vindicate the memory of dead man by
throwing mud at Blaine is chiefly noticeable for
its damaging effect on the tombstone.-Neo FORK
