The best plan for the construction of
milk-room for butter-making depends
altogether upon the method proposed for
setting the milk and the amounto of money
that the builder feels willing to devote to
the purpose Where small pans are
used, and where the temperature of the
room in its natural state, or without aid
from other sources, is depended upon to
cool the milk while setting for cream,
cellar or underground apartment, finished
off with water-lime cement, is very desira-
bic, and if the room is properly venti-
lated, and constructed with good drain
age, it is preferable to an upper room,
because the temperature of the cellar
will be lower and more even than any
room above ground where no special pro-
vision is made for controlling tempera-
ture. We have seen many cellars of this
description where good results in butter
making were obtained. In Maryland,
Pennsylvania and other States where the
climate is warmer than in New York
these cellars, or :" dry vaults" as they are
sometimes called, are quite frequently
seen among the dairymen. But if some
of the more modern systems of setting
milk be adopted an upper room will be
quite as efficient, and can be erected at
much less cost. Thus, for instance, if it
is proposed to use the large pans and
cool the milk down to say sixty degrees
by means of cold spring water kept con-
stantly flowing under and around the
milk, then an ordinary room, if well VEN
tilated and protected from the suns
rays by shade trees or otherwise, will be
preferable to the cellar plan; and the
same may be said of the Hardin or Cooley
plan of setting milk in refrigerator-like
boxes, where ice is used to cool the air
which surrounds the milk in the box.
The small-pan system for setting milk is
now giving way to newer and better
plans; and if our readers are not IA
miliar with these improved systems, we
should advise a thorough investigation
of the subject before building and ar
ranging a milk-room. There have been
so many plans suggested of late for set
ting milk that an investigation in regard
to their several merits is important to
the buttermaker who is seeking progress
in the art. In deciding upon a plan,
much will depend upon surrounding Cir
cumstances-the convenience of obtain
ing cool spring water, and carrying it in
stream to the milkroom; and again, as
to whether a good supply of ice can be
cheaply obtained. The answer to these
and like questions will have considera-
Bile influence in determining how the
milk shall be set, and, of course, what
plan is best for milkroom. In re-
gard to whitewashing the room, no injury
will obtain to the cream or milk, unless
the whitewash is put on in such a care
less manner as to flake off and fall into
the milk. On the other hand, white
washing, when properly done, helps to
purify the premises, and on this account
may be recommended.-RurdI NeaC

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Cream Cake.-Four cupfuls flour,
three cupfuls sugar, one of cream, five
eggs, one teaspoonful soda.
-Jumbles.- cupful butter, two
cupfuls sugar, one cupful sour milk, one
egg, soda, nutmeg, flour enough to mold.
Seed Cake.-One cupful sugar, half
cupful butter, one-third cupful milk, two
eggs, one teaspoonful soda, seeds toyour
taste.
Lemon Cake.-Four cupfuls flour,
three cupfuls sugar, one cupful butter,
one cupful milk, five eggs, seasoned with
lemon.
Ellen Cake. One and one-half cup
fuls flour, one cupful sugar, one-half
cupful milk, one egg, cream tartar, soda,
spice, salt.
Tea Cake.-Four cupfuls flour, three
cupfuls sugar, one cupful butter, one

cream tartar, one teaspoonful soda.
Cup Cake.-Three cupfuls flour, one

Chocolate Icing.-Two ounces of
grated chocolate, one of brown sugar,
three teaspoonfuls milk, one teaspoonful
prepared gum arabic. Boil briskly for
ten minutes.
Perennial weeds must be dug, pulled
or cut. Cutting with knife or spud
just below the surface will kill most of
them. The English put a few drops of
oil of vitriol in the heart of each plantain
or other large weed.
To Clean Colored Silk-Wash in
warm soapsuds, rinse in clear, warm
water dry quickly, and iron on the wrong
side while yet rather damp. If there are
grease spots on the silk press with toll
erably warm iron under brown paper.
"A Laundry Secret.-Take two ounces
of fine white gum arabic powder, put it
into pitcher and pour on it pint or
more of water, and then, having GOV.
cred it, let it stand all night. In the
morning pour it carefully from the dregs
into clean bottle and cork it and keep
it for use. A tablespoonful of gum
water in a pint of starch made in the
usual manner will give to lawns, either
white or printed, a look of newness, when
nothing else can restore them after they
have been washed.

their noses under his arm, or hold down

Some people think it makes but lit
tie difference about eggs whether clean
or dirty, as they are "clean inside" But
this is only true in part. Dirt or filth
causes the shell to decay, and sometimes
it may affect the taste when the egg is
broken. Besides, clean eggs look so
much better in market, and are actually
worth more because they will keep
longer. Let the hens have good tidy
place in which to live, a clean nest, and
let the eggs be collected every night and
kent dry and cool - MINNIE F0rloey
