CENTENNIAL NOTES ON BUTTER MAX

t1
While visiting the dairy, 1 conversed with
a dairyman of twenty years experience,
who gave me quite a lecture on the subject
of b~utter-lnaking. On most points he CON
tirmed my own experience and observa-
tioils: but when he made the unqualified
assertion that I" no one can make good but
ter who allows it to be gathered in the
clurn," I felt a trife Disconnected, for,
hadn't | always gathered my butter in the
churn? and didn't my mother and grand
mothcr,before me? Perhaps tie surmised
my feelings, for he Immediately added:
You may makes good, fair article, but
not gilt edge butter in that way" The
reason he gave is this it the butter is gath
cred into a solid mass, or masses OF consld-
cradle size, it requires too much handling
to- wash out the buttermilk. His plan is to
cease churning when the milk begins to
separate, and the butter is III little grains
like wheat, or a little larger, He prefers
rectangular churn, from which the milk can
be Observation-Disclosures skim out the butter
and wash very thoroughly with cold water,
renewing it until it comes off the butter

ing thoroughly by sprinkling it over, and
shifting the butter with "a ladle, but not
washing or working it with a Sliding mo-
ton Set it in a cool place till he.next day,
when it should be worked sufficiently to
press it into a compact mass, and it is ready
to be made into rolls for market or packed.

FEEDING SERVICE sTALLIONs.

The following from the North British Ag-
rictltUist, gives the practice there OF feed
ing draoght stations during their season !:
A cart stallion over l65 hands high, eN-
pected to serve seventy OF eighty mares--a
full complement for any horse-and having
probably to walk his ten miles a day, will
eat daily from fifteen to eighteen pounds OF
good sound heavy oats, which should be
given with hay or sweet corn chatf, and had
better also be bruised. Three or four
pounds Of white peas are a useful addition,
and are less apt than beans to cause itching
of the legs, to which such horses are prone.
The best Of fodder will of course be proyid-
ed for the stud horse. He should have a
little at Il time, and if he clears up his corn
and chatf will not ccat more than fifteen
pounds of hay. On Saturday nights, or on
an :. of day a few handtuls of grass or
clover will prove a salutary change ; but
yetches are to be interdicted, for neither
horses or bulls, having a full supply Of
them, prove certain stock-gettcrs. 20 coun-
teract the effect of liberal supplies Of hard
food, necessary to maintain the animals
condition. he should nave twice or thrice a
week a pound Of bruised linseed cake a few
slices occasionally OF carrots, sweeds Or man
gel, and on Saturday nights d bran mash,
containing all ounce each Of nitre and com
mon salt. Horses judiciolsly managed
throughout the stud season. which does not
much exceed three months, sustained dur
ing the day by a few mouthfuls of hay, a
feed of,corn, and frequent access to water, !
and helped out by a'bucket of Cruel, after d
long or trying day, will do their duty we'll,
and will not need any further changes OF
food than those Indicated. "Ez - hsls!@sa II

take that amount TO. one of her legs.

Still the cry for water breaks in upon the
prosperity Of our region, and the softly
falling shower Of this afternoon does not
produce even a murmuring In the gutter,
but tantslires without refreshing. There is
temporary vacuum in the meal market
for a lack Of water to run the mills. Laun-
dresses lament this cutting OF Of their
staff oi life-this element that puts money
into their pockets, and snowy linen Is fur

ing. One Of our prosperous farmers says
he has not enough water on his place to

ANOTHER MAN KuIrp IN MApr

ANOTHER MAN KILLED IN MADI
soN.-Col. Cassius NJ. Clay, who
spent the earlier part Of his life in en-
deavoring to ameliorate the condition
Of the poor negro, had in selfdefencc
to shoot and kill one on Sunday last.
The negro, Perry White, had been in
his employ, but was so roguish that
he had been discharged, as was his
mother, who was also an accomplish
ed thief. For these indignities the ne
gro swore to be avenged by killing
Col. Clay. The Colonel had heard Of
these threats and was therefore pre-
pared for him. So, when on Sunday.
morning he met the negro, he drew
his pistol and ordered him to hold up
his hands, which he did, Col. Clay at
the same time telling him what he
would do IL he moved from his posi- |
ton. The Colonel then started to get
on his horse, when the negro sprang at
him; but, with a dextrous movement,
Clay drew his pistol and fred at him
twice. both shots taking effect and XII
ling him instantly. Col. Clay then
went to Richmond and delivered him
self up to the officers. A coroners ju-
ry was summoned to view the body Of
the negro, and verdict Of justifable
homicide was rendered. Clay waived
an examination, and vas held to bail
in 81 900 for manslaughter.
