The following explanation Of the phil
osophy Of washing butter, i from the
Prairie Fa,mcr, and probably is a. near
IL correct a, ANYTHING ever written on
the subject:
The flavor OF butter that has been
washed j. different from that which ia,
uOt been washed. The difference be-
tween washed and unwa>hed. but ter, =
analogous To the difference between
clarified and unclalifed sugar. The tor
mer consists OF pure saccharinc matters
tho latter Of sugar and. s9iac albumin
ous and hayoging matters which are
contained in the Juice OF the cane min
gled with it, which Give a flavor in adj
dition TO that of the sugar. Brown sug.
ar, though less sweet, has moro flavor
than clarified sugar. When unwaShed,
there = always little buttermilk and
sugar adhering to the butter that give it
a peculiar flavor in adiiJog to llaeoi
pure butter, which many people like
when it j. new. Washing removes All
this foreign matter and ieavcs ogr the
taste of the butter pure and simple
Those who prefer the taste OF the butter
to the foreign ingredients mixed with it,
like the washed butter best.
The assertion Is OF, en- made, and many
people believe that water washes ont
the flavor of the butter, but il only
cleanses the butter of the butter milk,
sugar and milk acid, which may adhere
to il just as clarifying sugar removes
from it the foreign matters which modi
IS its true flavor. The flavor of butter
consists OF FATTY matters which do not
combine with water a; all, aud caIsss
therefore be washed away ~ il. 4
The effect of washing updn the keep
ing quality of butter depends On the pu-
rity ofthe water with which the washing
is done. If the water contains no for
cign matter that Will affect the butter il
will keep better for washing The butter
milk out than By working it out. But
if the water is hard from the presence o.
lime, or contains anything that could il,
jure the butter by contact with it, wash
ing becomes an injury instead OF 4 ben
eft TO lis keeping. Nothing but tic
best and purest water should be used
about butter. Very hard water is ar
ways Objectionable. Il isnot, however,
80 Objectionable Is HE water from wells
which contain muddy sediment 50 full
OF organic matter as to become tainted.
Water standing over such mud takes in
the faint, and if used for washing but
ter is sure TO injurc it for long keeping.
There Is good deal OF water, other
vie good, which i rendered entirely
unfit Tor using about butter by reason Of
sediment at the bottom Of the well.

Sa..i-y -at,a..

Although | should not be capable Of
directing enc how 10 do it geateeHy. |
wish 10 make 4 few suggestions app.ica.
bic to every day lite in the country, for
think many hOusekeepers take too lit
tie pains with the appearance OF their
table at meal time, for the improvement
as well as comfort of their families
There is certain refining influences
about neatly spread table and pleas
antly conducted meals, which children
and Young people can hardly afford to
lose.
Some, know, would be glad to have
things more tasteful and orderly, but
are 50 overworked they are obliged to
do everything in the quickest and ea-i-
est way possible; while Others care
nothing about "feasts for the eve" any
further than to have plenty of food, Civ
inc no thought to the manner in which
1t Is served, or the surroundings. Old
lin dishes and basins are sometimes used
on the table, which, though perfectly
clean, are so out of their proper sphere
as to make the food most repulsive to
sensitive people.
According to my idea, the truest hos
pitality is that which dispenses but
few kinds at meal, and those of sim
pie and healtLful quality; this makes an
inviting table. a cheerful hostess, and
comfortable guests, aud is much pleas
antcr every way than if the table is
crow ded with viands, and the hostess
tired and nervous from preparing SO
many.
Set the larger and principal dishes in
the centre OF the table, with the smaller
ones around them; cups, spoons, milk,
sugar. and everything used in serving
the tea should be in front of the hostess,
and the water and glasses near some
other member of the family as it is too
much for the hostess to attend to every
thing, and gives too crowded sn appear
ance to her part of the table, Cor. ".

CHOKED CATTLE.-This season the
large crop of apples necessitates feeding
them to the cattle, and as many will be
choked, the following is an invariuble
cure: Take OF fine cut chewing tobac-
co as much as will make wad the size
of An hen's egg, when wet up with mo-
hsses-to make it stick together-pull
out the animals tongue and crowd back
in the throat as far as it can safely be
placed with. the hand, and let them
alose fol- Is minutes. The tobacco will
sicken them. causing the muscles to re-
lax, and The vomiting will remove the
apple in every case.

Useful Suggestions.

Cabbages should be buried in sand,
roots upward, to preserve them.
Squashes should be keps','in a dry
place, as cold as may be without freez-
ieg.
Frozen potatoes, if not allowed to
thaw before being cooked, can be baked,
and be as good as if they had never
been frozen: they must not, however,
be washed the usual way, because if
put into water at all, they become sost.
Old and poor potatoes are best to boil
until soft, then peel, and mash fine, with
little salt, butter, and very little
milk. Then put into a dish, smooth
over with knife, sprinkle little flour
over it, put it in the oven to brown.

IT seems we were mistaken in
supposing that Plattevillc would put
no obstacles in the way Of the mar
row gauge extension toward Wing
vile. On the contrary, says the
Witness, there is very strong feel
ing on the part of the people there
to 'leave no stone unturned to pre-
vent the narrow gauge officers from
violating their contract with the
town Of Platteville.' A meeting Of
the citizens is called for on the Goth,
to determine what line of attack
against the railroad shall be pur-
sued by the officers of the town.
This looks like determined opposi-
ton to the extension.
