CHURNING.-The following advice on the
the subject of churning is furnished by MI.
J. r. Ellsworth, to the Scientific Far
mer:'
Churning cream to make good butter is
not SO simple a process as some may think.
1t must be churned at the proper time and
at the proper temperature, and the chnrn
should be stopped as soon as the cream is
broken. but before the butter is gathered
in large balls. In warm weather it is of
great Importance to watch the process
closely, and to notice just when the change
is to take place. At this time add enough
cold water (notice) to reduce the tempera-
ture of the mass to about fiftY-six or fifty
eight degrees, and then complete the
churning, which will be as soon as the but
ter is in a granulated form, with particles
about the size of peas. Then draw off the
buttermilk and dash in cold water, re-
peating the washing until the water drawn
off appears clear. Now take out a layer
Of butter into the tray, and sprinkle on
finely sifted salt at the rate of about an
ounce Of salt to the pound (more or less as
consumers may wish.) Then take out
another layer and salt as before.
After the butter is salted, set it away for
about three hours for it to take salt and
harden the grain. Now work it little
witha wooden paddle and set it away again
until next day, when it will need but little
working before preparing it for marketing.
If the butter is soft and white, it is from
lack of proper cooling before churning,
and it may be hardened by putting in
about three times the usual amount Of salt
and working it little for two or three

the Returning Board, and to inquire the resolutions
pledging that republican should ne prosecuted for
his political offences had not been violated tho
trial and conviction Of General Anderson.
REMARKS GOVERNOR wARxorB.
Governor Warmoth said that tho agreement had
been made by House composed entirely OF demo-
Gratis; that At the time It passed thoro had been
much confusion and dscord and that tho republicans
accepted it general amnesty ana the desire that
the democrats had 10 make friends with the repub.
licans. II was not political agreement, but Il was
would DO notice that no republican who had uphold
the Packard government could live IN the State. He
SAID further that IT behoovea the Legislature TO mako
tho stand themselves, to show the people oil the
whole country that they intended TO uphold the
ises they had made The persecution Of the Return
Ing Board was only done ~ Inc behest Of Mr. Tilden
who had said somo such movement must DO made in
Louisiana.
REPLY OF DEMOCRAT.
Mr. Jonas replied He said that General Anderson
had been convicted by sjury Of q crime against the
law; that 1t was fair and impartial one. aud that the
Legislature mad now power over Tho matter that
the made last year not meant to shield
felony, and that it Governor Nichols pardoned the
Returning Board ne would take the stump against
him in evefy parish Of the State.
VIEWS OF THE SPEAKER
Speaker Bush followed. He satd In = few words
that he thought the persecution OF the Returning
Board was wrong. He hoped The resolutions would
be allowed 10 lie over until he was prepared further
to speak on The supject.
Mr. Wise and several members spoke amid intense
excitement, and tho resolutions we're lard over by
request.
The whole matter has increased the excitement hero
the subject and threatens to seriously DISRUPT the
