Come. little leaves" said the wind one day,
" Come DER the meadows with me, and play;
Put on your dresses Of red and gold
Summer is gone, and the days grow cold"
Soon rs the leaves heard the winds loud call,
Down they came auttering, one and alli
over the brown fields they danced and flew,
Singing the soft little songs they knew
"Cricket goodbye, we've been friends 80 longi
Little brook, sing us your farewell song
Say you are sorry TO sec ns goi
All you will miss US, right well we know.
Dear little lambs, In your heecy fold,
Mother will keep yon from harm and cold
Fondly we've watched you in vale and glade
Say. will you dream Of our loving shadeY"
Dancing and whlrlng the little leaves went;
Winter had called them and they were content;
Soon fast asleep In their earthly beds,
The snow laid a coveret over their heads.

WHAT Is THE STRUCTURE OF THE
RUTTER GIORIJIEy

hold, as have already indirectly stated,
that it is pure butter; that if there is an in-
vesting membrane it is all essential part of
the globule itself, and should not be re-
moved or broken, excepting when it is de-
sired to reduce the mass to oil, as is some
times required in culinary operations. |
can not better state my reasons for that be-
lief than by repeating my remarks upon this
subject made at meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture of Connecticut in 1874
and which were at that time heartily en-
'lorsed by Professor w. H. Brewer OF the
New Haven Scientific School, and also by
Professor w. o. Atwater, now in charge of
the State Experimental Station. My argu-
ment was as follows /" II we submit our
cream or butter to conditions in which the
globular structure is known to be broken
down, as in melting or by the application of
grinding force, we ruin the product for table
use. Aud just in proportion as we approach
this state by imperfect protection from sum
mer heat, by over-churning or over-working,
we just so far injure the product for the
same purpose. Butter can be Just as effect
ually reduced to oil by the application of
force As by heat. The process of changing
good table butter to oil is simply process
of breaking down its globular structure,
whether it is accomplished by the use of
force or heat. If, as scientists claim, separ-
alton in churning is produced by the break
ing OF the butter globule, how can we ex-
plain these practical results? Why not
churn our cream at high temperature, aud
thus hasten the breaking of the globule
Or why need we fear the use of grinding
lorce and severe abrasion in the churning
aud working of our butter This long ac-
depted theory of scientists is obviously in
consistent with well-known practical facts,
and an intelligent practical experience leads
to the adoption OF an opposite practice from
that which such theory would suggest"
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1877-11-14
THE PHILOSOPHY OF onURNING

My observation has led me to accept a
more simple, aud | believe more rational,
theory of the philosophy of churning. |
hold that separation is caused by the contact
of the globules with and their adhesion to
each other, in consequence of agitation
that the investing membrane, il any, does
not prevent their adhesion when the cream
is of the right temperature. The effect of
temperature upon the churning of cream
may be illustrated by bringing two pieces of
lard or tallow in contact at different tenn
peratures. II too cold there will be no adhe-
sion, because there will be no cohesive at
traction if very warm the same will be
true, and liquid state will be the result.
Ii the temperature is at favorable point,
the particles will unite and form solid mass.
In butter, the most favorable temperature is
about sixty degrees. At this point its par
ticles unite most readily, and its consistency
is most favorable for working and packing.
Separation begins with agitation when the
conditions of temperature, etc, are favorable,
but the exceeding minuteness of the parti-
Giles prevents our detection of the change
taking place with the naked eye until the
work is far advanced. The union is slow
at first, but is accelerated like the increase
of an arithmetical progression as the union
advances In cream characterized by a
large butter globule the process is more
rapid from the outset, and the work more
rapidly completed, for two reasons, which,
think, will appear obvious from what have
already stated, viz. First, from the greater
weight and size of the globules themselves ;
and, second, from the fact of the more per-
feet separation in rising, and the consequent
presence of less casene TO retard their con-
tact with each other

THE BUTTER GLoBULE.

Let us now consider the character and
structure of the butter particle or globue,
as it is called, which constitutes so impor-
tant part of dairy milk, and which so ma
terialy influences its character and deter
mines its value for specific purposes. have
given as my ideal of perfect butter an article
in which the globule is found in its mechan-
lcaly perfect state. an aware that ac.
cepted authority upon dairy science hold
that the butter globule is composed of fatty
matter, encased in sack Of caseine, and
that in order to produce the desired separa-
ton of the butter in churning the globular
structure must be broken down by the APP
plcation of force. Professor l.. b. Arnold
advocated this theory at a meeting of dairy
men at Essex Junction, two or three years
since, and claimed that the covering of ca
seine was of so firm and shelly texture that
when broken and removed by churning they
could be seen by the aid of the microscope
floating in the buttermilk, like hulls of wheat
chaff on a threshing-hoor. Mistaken theo-
ries often lead to bad practices, and in this
fact rests the practical Importance of this
question. A belief in such theory would
lead me to precisely opposite practice in
churning from that which have adopted.
Let us then inquire,

SCARLET FEvER.-Our neighboring
town of Winthrop is truly afflicted at this
time. The above dread disease, IN its
most malignant form, has for some weeks
sat brooding oyer that fair village, and
has snatched with ruthless hands the lov-
ed ones from number of family circles.
On Sunday, the wife of Charles Freder-
lex and daughter of E. P. Brintnall died
of the disease, being attacked by it inn
mediatcly after confinement. On Mon
day, while the obsequies of her daughrer
were being performed in this city, Mrs:
Brintnall, who had been suddenly pros.
trated by the prevailing malady combin-
ed with heart affection, and who was
worn with the excitement and shock OF
her daughters sickness and death, also
succumbed to the dread destroyer, and
was buried in the cemetery in this city on
Tuesday. The same evening an infant
child of DIR. Markham died with the few
ev, and we have heard of others who
were very sick with the same disease
As we'll may be imagined, these frequent
and sudden deaths have cast cloud OF
sorrow and gloom over the community.
The afflicted people of Winthrop have the
sympathy of the other citizens of the
county, and all will join sincerely in the
prayer that the scourge may be stayed
ere other victims are claimed.

ACCIDENT OR AssAULT?-A most mys.
terious circumstance, partaking of the
character of tragedy, occurred at the
residence of REQ W. Adams, well
known farmer, near Quasqueton,
Friday night, the true character of which
can only be guessed by inference. At a
quarter before eight on that evening, Mr.
Adams lit his lantern and repaired to his
barn to feed the hogs. He remembers
perfectly portion of his doings at that
time, but beyond a certain point they are
all blank. At a quarter after ten, his
who had gone to bed, alarmed that he did
not come in, got mp and went in search
of him. She found him in the house, sit
ting on the kitchen floor, the unlighted
lantern beside him, and some ears of
corn in his lap. On his head were three
great gashes, as from club, from which
the blood was flowing. He was entirely
bereft of reason, and spite of the efforts
of medical skill, remained so most of the
night. In the morning, he recovered
sufficiently to detail the above facts, when
search was made in the vicinity of the
hog pens to find something to unravcl the
mystery. AT the foot of flight of steps
leading up to the barn floor ON the out
side, two large spots of blood were found
and near by, club which had been lying
in the vicinity for some time, and on it
three distinct spots of blood. This
would seem to indicate that the occur
rance was an assault and not an accident,
but Mr.. Adams himself has no theory on
the subject. He simply knows that up
to certain poin, he was in possession of
his faculties, and after that he knew
nothing until morning, some hours after
he was found by his wife. He knows of
no motive that anybody would have to
attack him. He was not robbed, nor has
he missed anything from his premises. -
The affair has very mysterious look.
