he settled on tho depth of
twenty inches, at 40 ., as being the tenn
perature and depth of milk producing the
greatest amount of cream. He soon OBJ
served that it took less ice to cool air than
water, and lie therefore constructed
small room with double doors, and lined,
to retain the cold AIR, which he uses instead
of cold water to keep the milk cool. After
years of experiment-be had so perfected
issystem that it has received a wide in
dorsement. To take it apart and analyze,
he claimed his method of making butter
superior:
First, in taste. He had taken fifty
pounds of ctcam. churned half of
it sweet, soured the other half and
churned it, both at G3o, That churned
sweet produced five ounces more
butter, tasted best and kept best and long
est. He keeps his cream liquid and sweet.
lie gets the top price in his market for but
ter, receiving in Louisville fifty cents per
pound the year ronnd.
Second-Tasic. Nine tenths of butter
buyers judge butter hy the taste and the
butter from sweet cream certainly had q
great superiority
Third-Unilormity. This cannot be OBJ
tanned by spreading out milk in shallow
pans.
Fourih--Color. 1t makes no difference,
he found, in the color of butter, whether
the cream rose in light or in a dark
room.
Fifth--Grain or Texture. The butter
produced in his way was firm grain but
ter without waxy appearance so common
to butter made at higher temperature
Sixth 49, Quantity. lie produced one
pound of butter from little over seventeen
pounds many dairys required twenty.
three pounds of milk for one pound of
butter.
Seventh-Keeping quality. In the Lon
don market the Swedish butter keeps
longest, and, in test, butter of his own
manufacture had outkept butter churned
from sour milk.
Eghth-Cost. In estimating the cost OF
fuel in winter, for those who sour milk,
and ice in summer for his own process, he
placeefthe former at Sal, and The ice could
be put up annually for $34. There was in
his process comparatively little washing
and scrubbng. But ! the surface of tin tc

Of
MULTIPLICATION from accidents Tn,
injury of spring houses by floods freez
ing, if the fire should go out in the winter
or thunder storms, never injured the milk
by his process.
Tenth-Amount Of attention required
His milk could remain any time from 80 tC
rs hours unskimmed it kept sweet. lie
had known people so particular about the
skimming,in the old process,a s to get up il
the plight and skim milk for fear it would
get too sour by morning.
Eleventh-Practicabi The dairy bel
was between 40 and 80 degrees of latitud,
and in that region ice could always be sc
cured. He found it took about one pounC
of ice per hour to keep each 100 pounds o
milk cool.
Mr.. Hardin exhibited model of th,
room and vessels for keeping milk by hi
process. He read letters from many source
approving his plan, and mentioned severa
instances where in test he had produced
more butter from a given amount of mill
by his process. For the south he consider
ed his plan of setting milk decided ad
vantage, since the milk requires little hand
ling, for, whatever might be thought Of tn
intellectual capacity of the nego, his habits
certainly, were not conducive to good but
ter making. He summed up the numerou
advantages of his method, and last of al
its great saving of labor to the overworke,
farmers family.
The association then adjourned 10 NEE

The President, Mr.. Mason, after calm

Mr.. r. s. Gold, member of the agricuI

Mr.. Gold said that as an illustration @
the progress that noxlous animals, plant
and diseases make in the present age, h
would mention the Norway rat, which fit
ty years ago was only known in some sea
board cities. 1t had now traversed tn
country and extnguished the old black ra
of our boyhood. The spread of the Hes
sian fly, the potato bug and Canada thistle
were also instances. 1t should be our OF
iect to seek the good and shun the evil
Good will and knowledge are the powe
that can beat these evils. Within
few years it had keen found that large

The CHAMBERS, rinderpest, etc, had thei

which they generate by cnntagion. Tn

them gives man valuable experiments

amusing letter of inquiry he received rel
