Preserving Butter.

Having read several articles in your
valuable Taper, upon making and pre-
serving butter, some of which describe
methods that | do not altogether agree.
with, l will give my experience in the
same line. In the FIRST place | will
state that l was raised in old Chenango
n. Y. which is one of the best butter
countries in the State. and nearly all Of
the butter there made is firkined and
kept from the time it becomes yellow
in spring, until the next fall or winter,
frequently standing a whole year be-
fore SALE You see. therefore, that in-
terest. during the last thirty years
has made it a constant study with the
people there how to make the best
butter that would keep the best, and
make the best appearance on the
market, as well as bring The pest price.
| fully agree with the writer of the
article in the Rural of July 2Sth, that
the butter must he good when made.
| also take the position that it must be
freed from all Impurities so as to re
der it a perfect oil. Then keep it in
alr-tight vessels in cool place and ii
will keep as long as desired. Not
being able, however. to do this her,
we are obliged to salt 1t to neu,ralize
what foreign matter remain after we
have done all we can to expel it, and
also to season the butter for eating.
We find by experieacr that the louge,
! it is to staud, the more salt is required,
hut in no case must there be more than
will wholly dissolve, so DIS to be gritty.
1 have bought and packed butter ON
the Western Reserve in Ohio and in
northern Illinois, several years. 1t
used to be brought of all conceivable
colors-like Jacobs cattle-and also
sailed with coarse salt. so that it would
grit like sand when running a knife
through it, and frequently there would
be considerable quantity of butter
milk in the bottom of the bucket when
the butter was removed. I assorted it
according to shade, and condition,
washed 1t perfectly clear OF buttermllk,
and of the coarse salt added a suffi-
Gent quantity of fine Ashton salt !;
packed it in tight oak firklns and kept
it until fall; then shipped it to market
and sold it for New York dairy.
now take the position that of all the
means that nature has provided, water
is worth all the rest to cleanse and
prepare butter for keeping without in
juring the grain, as it readily uuites
with and dissolves the globules of
buttermilk contained in the butter -
Hav ng thoroughly washed butter in
pure, soft water until the water is
perfectly clear, all the working then
required is to even the salt so as not
to leave any streaks; butter being al
oil, the water does not mix with it nor
affect it in the least. A CRUMB

An'mal Manur,s OF all kinls are
good but diff rent in the rapidity "i
their fertllzing effects as well as in
their duration. Horn, hair and wool
as Prof johnson has well remarked !,
depend for their efficacy precisely on
the same principle as the blood and
flesh of animals. They differ chiefly
in this, that they are dry, while the
blood and flesh contain from so to 80
per cent. Of their water. Hence ton
of horn shavlugs, OF hair, or of dry
wooden rags contains vastly more
tertilizlng materials than the same
weight in blood or flesh, but the effect
of soft animal matter is more i'm
mediate and apparent, while that of
hard and dry substances is less visible
but continues for much longer time.

In selecting rops to plant it
shonld be borne in mind that the
growth Of some crops impove%lshes
the soil more than that of others. and
also that some make richer manure
than others. a crop of red clover, for
instance. does not impoverish the sol
as much as one of timothy grass, while
ton of clover hay will make manure
worth about halt as much again as
that made from an equal weight OF
timothy hay. The manure from a
given weight of peas and beans, also,
it has been calculated, is worth twice
as much as that from an equal weight
of oats. barley. rye or Indian corn

The necessity of potash for vines
has been demonstrated in France by
an elaborate series of experiments ex>
tending from 1870 to 1878. A hum
dred plots. each about ST feet square,
were planted with single variety OF
vine apiece. Every year all were
treated alike except as regards manure.
One plot was constantly enriched
with complete manure made up Of
several ingredients; which from each of
the Others was successfully eliminated
one OF the constituent elements of the
manure in question. Thus, while one
pot received the complete. manure.
nitrogen was taken from that applied
10 the second phosphate from the
third, potash from the fourth, lime
from the fifth, and 50 on, while one
plot was left altogether unmanured.
The result showed that where potash
was applied and the other elements
successfully eliminated, the growth OF
The vine aud the yield of the crop
presented no sensible difference, pro
wing eonclusively that potash is in
dispensable to the vine Despite the
| absence of other substances the vine
will flourish, but if the potash be
omitted and other fertilizers abundant
y supplied, not only will the vine tail
o produce crop, but in course of
line. the leaves will become few and
so weak as not to be able to resist the
action of the wind or exposure to the
sun, and consequently fall prey to
mildew. Similar experiments were
made with reference to potatoes. with
like results. The use of wood ashes
which contain great deal of potash is,
therefore, excellent both for vines and
potatoes.

INVESTIGATE, THEN PRONOUNCE
JUDGMENT.

"Westward the star of empire takes
its way" yet the empire of Woman
Suffrage seems to go from west TO east.
First it was claimed by Utah, second by
Wyoming, and now Colorado, with all
her proud young vigor, is bearing aloft
the banner inscribed with equal rights,
and when October's holocaust "burns
gold and crimson over all the hills"
and lights with mimic flame her wooded
peaks and fertile valleys the bloOdless
battle will be fought and won for free
dom.
Massachusetts during the last quarter
of century has bad exhaustless labor
and care bestowed upon her in this di-
rection, yet she plods along in the old
ruts, humping and grumbling, yet not
possessing sufficient courage to mark
out a new path, always and in every
thing, except in mastering men to fight
her country's battles, making haste
slowly.
The first great aim of those conduct
ing the campaign In Colorado Is TO OBJ
tain for their cause a patient and dis
passionate hearing of the voters. This
done, they feel that they may abide the
result in perfect confidence. Men dc
not wish to be unjust in this decision,
and, that they may not beso, women and
workers in that State ask them to lay
aside their prejudices and let their judg.
ment and sense of justice speak at the
polls. Coercion, if it were possible
would be undesirable in a matter Of
such grave import. First, let prejudice
be laid aside; second, let the subject be
carefully weighed, and lastly, let the
ballot speak. Under these conditions
victory is assured.

THE RECEPTION.

The Senatorial subcommittee on
privileges and elections, deployed by
the United States government to recon-
hotter the political situation in Oregon,
that haply they may unearth and pun
ish a system of fraud in buying votes
for Senatorial emoluments, a system
which is nothing new under the sun,
the investigation of which will end in
nothing but whitewash, will doubtless
accomplish much good for Oregon in
the way of attracting the attention of
the average member of Congress to her
vast wealth of undeveloped resources,
which only need the completion of a
railroad to place her in active competi-
tion with the rest of mankind.
With this idea mainly in view, the
Board of Trade of this city rendered the
investigating committee public recep-
tion on Monday evening, which was in
every way brilliant success. Not less
than eight hundred persons were pre-
sented to the distinguished visitors dur
ing the evening. Following the intro
ductory exercises was an address of well
come by ex-senator Corbett, to which
Senator Morton responded in an able
and acceptable manner, after which a
humorous speech from Judge Strong
put everybody in the humor for a good
supper. OF the music, decorations, sup.
per, and ball we have only the space to
speak in highest terms of laudation.
The ladies of the Senatorial party
Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Mcmillan, are
genial and unassuming, their modest
apparel being silent yet eloquent re,
buke to the extravagant display of some
of Portland's would-be ton.
We learn that it is the intention o.
the party to visit all of the main points
of interest in the great Northwest wher
the "whitewashing" is over, after whict
they will be better enabled to represent
"these ends of the earth" at the grea
governmental center than they coulC
otherwise hope to become. Oregon'i
election frauds are fast making The
State famous. ats an i'll wind tha

DEATH FROM MoRPHIA.

There is considerable excitement in
the neighborhood of Sublimity concern
ing the death of Miss Alice Townsend,
a young lady about seventeen years of
age. Being somewhat indisposed, Dr..
McCauley, of Stayton, was called, who
administered "soothing POWDER" from
the effects of which she died in about
two hours. An inquest was held, and
verdict returned to the effect that the
young lady had died soon after taking
morphine administered by the above
named physician, but that the jury
were unable to decide whether her
death was attributable to this or to con-
gestive chills of which she was suffer-
ing. The body was buried, but was sub
sequently exhumed for chemical exam
ination of the stomach.
1t seems that Miss Townsend, while
in attendance at the Pioneers Reunion,
the week before last, caught a severe
cold, which eliminated in something
like congestive chill. She was at
tended in her illness by DR.. McCauley,
who administered some powders con-
tanning quiuine and calomel, which had
the effect to relieve her, and she ap-
peared on the Sunday following (the
day of her death) as well as ever.
On the evening of that day, however,
DR.. McCauley, who was visiting pa
tients in that neighborhood, was called
in to prescribe for a sister of the de-
ceased, who was quite unwell. After
felt of the pulse of his former patient
and examined her tongue, and detected
symptoms of a recurrence of the chill
He fixed up powder similar in appear
ance to those given her before, but un-
fortunately used morphine instead oI
quinine.
The powder was administered about
10 o'clock Sunday night, much against
the will of the unfortunate girl, who de.
clared she was we'll and did not need it
A few moments after taking the fata
draught she complained of feeling dizzy
and of having an uncomfortable thirst
which she vainly endeavored to quencf
with large draughts of water. About l.
o'clock she became calmly unconscious
and her breathing more difficult, unit
about half past II, when her spirit tool
its flight to the unseen world.
