Preparing Butter For Market.
Ienville, AVgust 13. 1877.

Here are sone hints on IN iupor-
tant branch of the dairymun's busi.
ness:
Too much stress cannot DO laid on
tho importance Of having all the dairy
product 10 an attractive aud prCScnta.
bio condition when ready for sale.
The article is and Of itself may be un-
cxccptionublc as to favor, color, etc.,
and yet DO Sighted by purchasers, be-
cause Of its not presenting an attract.
i've appearance to tho eye. Assuming
that your butter is all that it should bO
in quality. it is essential that it should
be moulded into full-edgcd, clean. cut
rolls, and that, just the right quality
Of muslin should bc used. In wrap.
ping, the cloth should always cover the
side Of tho roll, leaving no part Of the
side Of tho roll, bare, cut not too short
nor too long, aud folded just enough
over tho top to give the roll dFcssy
appearance. About threo.cights Of an
inch is the proper length to bO folded,
and that in regular plaits, equidistaut,
and neatly done. The bottom of the
roll should DO covered also, SO as to al
low no soiIagc to the butter from the
bottom Of the box. These minor de-
tails may look like small matters, but
they arc much more important th2r
dairymon are generally aware Of.

A Remedy for Burns and scaIds.

Virginia Finances.

There is considerable discussion in
Virginia about the State debt, the gist
Of it being that the people, if they are
properly represented by tho uttCranccs
Of their various candidates for Cover
nor. desire to got rid of paying it, if
they can do SO. Tho history Of Vir-
giuia finances since tho rebellion has
not been pleasant. Tho State had
debt OF $4,000, 900, and this the
Legislature resolved should be funded,
two.thirds belonging to Virginia and
ono.third to West Virginia. Bu: West
Virginia rcpudiated such an amount Of
liability, and as neither State would
father it, SIS, 900 seems to have been
sunk. The funding process of tho re-
maiudcr went on until about
500, 900, 900 wcro funded into cousols,
aud then Virginia found she could not
pay tho interest on this amount. and
further funding ceased. Thus another
$4,000 was put in very doubtful po.
sitiou, whilst the funded $50, 100000
only gets interest paid on it by the
boud-holders solliug their coupons at
50 to IS cents on tho dollar, to be paid
for taxes. The State goes bchiud.haud
about S75O,0OO year, and her fuau-
ecs arc iu deplorable condition. The
shortest way out would probably bc an
increase of tho State taxes, now :about
so cents per 800, but no one will
agree to this, and there is talk Of "re-
adjustment" which means the scaling
down Of the debt. Virginia is probab-
ly on tho eve of the reputation Of q
great part Of her debt. Virginia con-
soils sell TT G3i, aud the uufuudcd debt

A Submerged City.

A strange discovery is reported from
the lake Of Geneva. A tourist hav-
ing lost his trunk, two divers were en-
ploycd TO search for it. While they
were bGloS water they found what
they supposed to be a village, since
covered by the lako. Their statements
led TO on inrcstig Of tho spot by
tho municipal authorities, who took
measures to ascertain tho truth Of the
extraordinary account Of tho divers.
On covering tho placid surface with
oil, those latter were enabled to dis
tluguish tho plan Of 4 town, streets,
squares and detached houses marking
the bed Of the lake. Tho rudy huo
which characterized them led the OBJ
servers to suppose that the buildings
had been covered with the famous YER
million cement which was used by tic
Celts, Crimbri and the carly Gauls.
Thcrc arc about 200 houses arranged
over an obloug surface, near tho mid
die which is space moro open sup
posed to have been used for public as
scmblages. At the eastern extremity
lies largo square tower, which was
taken for q rock. A superficial in
vcstigation seems to indicate that the
construction of these buildings date
from some centuries before our cra.

"Thcse fgures, showing that the
four States above mentioned will have
say Sc. .000,0 900 bushels more wheat to
sell than they bad last year, may be
relied upon as being as near correct as
the very best information eau make
them. They arc mniuly from tho rc-
ports and estimates Of tho National
Agricultural Bureau, aud confirmed
(as to tho yield per acre) by the OBJ.
servation of trustworthy men Of this
city who have recently visited all tho
States mentioned. In Minnesota, for
instance, the acreage Of tho three years
is known to DO about rs follows: 1878,
l,I64, 900 acres; 1876, 1874, 900
acres; 1877, 100000 acres. The
fact now fully established Of this great
yield per acre this year over last, or
oven 1875, confirms the estimate Of
100000 last year. For the other
three States tho estimates are equally
trustworthy.
1--WE may mention incidentally that
the aggregate wheat crops Of Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio. Kentucky aud Teuues.
sec will exceed tho aggregate of last
year By probably $4,000, 900 to
100000 bushels. and that the crop
in California will fall probably
100000 bushels short Of last year !;
but it was not the purpose Of Ibis arti.
Gle to take into consideration the wheat
supply Of the world, nor even of tho
United States, but TO confuc tho OBJ:
servatious to the territory tributary to
Chicago, %ith view to the bearing of
these particular facts on the fall trade
Of this city, and their ultimate effects
on the trade ard real estate interests.
"1n this view Of the case, assuming
that the farmers will sell their wheat
freely at 90 cents (in the cOuntry,)
our figures show that in the four States
the farmers will receive the enormous
sum of nearly fifty million dollars more
for their wheat crop Of 1877 than they
did for that of 1876, or, after making
all reasonable allowance for unforeseen
contingencicsf let US estimate that they
receive an increase cf say soventy-ivc
per cent in money value over las
year.

THE internal improvement OF this
State is Of the utmost importance, aud
q matter of deep interest to the whole
people. Tho Little Kanawha river
runs within few miles of the heart Of
tho State, aud drains hundreds Of
thousands of acres Of the best, and tc
considerable extent, cheapest and
finest timbcred lands in tho country.
The demand for tho improvement Of
this river is great, and the work is Of
National Importance. These and other
facts being recognized by tho Federal
Government, au appropriation to CON-
mcnce tho improvement Of said river
was made by Congress at "a late session,
and tho samo is now being expended
pursuant to the spirit and letter Of said
act Of Congtcss-undcr the direct su.
pcryisiou of James E. Bell, enc of the
most efficient and successful Of Gov
ernment Engineers.
The character Of the work and the
economy used in its prosecution, las
only to bo seen to bc appreciated.
Col. Bell lives upon the river in u
aatboat, and thereon has his hands
boarded, and they are employed from
amongst tho people living along the
line of Improvement; thus there is in
the entire manugemens,no middle men,
no sbeculatious, no peculations.
A few hundred thousand dollars will
build oil the needed locks and dams to
Bulltown. The country looks with
earnest anxiety to the future action Of
Congress touching tho future appropri-
atoms to complete this much needed
improvement. Yours &c,

The Time TO Eat Fruit.

Tho earlier in the day fruits arc
eaten the better. They should be ripe,
fresh and perfect, and if eaten in their
natural state. i. is almost impossible to
take TOO much. Their hcalIhful quail.
ity depend on their ripe acidis7, but if
swcctencd With sugar, tho acitity is not
only neutralized, but the stomach is
tempted to receive moro than it can d.
gest, and is cream is tuGcn with them,
the labor of digestion is increased. No
liquid of any description should be
drank within an hour after eating
fruits, nor should anything else be
eaten within two or three houts-thus
time being allowed for them to pass out
Of the stomach, tho system derives
from them all their culivening, cooling
and apericut influences. The greatest
rule is, cat fruits and berries while
flesh, ripe and perfect, in their natural
state, without eating or drinking any
thing for at least two hours afterwards.
With these restrictions fruits may DO
eaten in moderation during the day,
and without getting tired of them, or
ceasing to be benefited by them during
the whole season.
