TWO NOTED GRAyER OBBERs

Our readers will remember the account given
In these columns of the robbing Of the grave of
the Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, last May, the
body being found in the dissecting room of the
Ohio Medical College. Public indignation
justly brands any man as a scoundrel who will
rob the grave of the dead. But there are two
noted grave robbers in the country, so far from
being the subjects of the peoples wrath, are
universally lauded for their virtues. The rea-
son is plain. While the former class steal the
dead bodies of our loved ones to submit them
to the dissecting knife, these only rob the
grave to restore the living victims to our hearts
and homes Their names-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellcts-are household words the world over.
The Golden Medical discovery cures consump-
ton In its early stages, and all bronchial throat
and lung affections; Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are the most valuable laxative and cathartic

Treatment of Buifer after ChurniDg.
Mr.. T. G. Curtis, Wisconsin, at the last
session of the Wisconsin Dairymen's Asso-
citation, in answer to these questions by a
lady: eWhat is the best method of treating
the butter after it is churned? Should water
be used either in the churn or after it is
taken from the churn? How often should
butter be worked; ii more than once, how
long time should intervene between the
working of it over?" replied as follows:
''If it has been churned in some lightning
improved fancy churn, and the grain of the
butter has been ruined by violent agitation,
use it for cooking at your earliest convenience
no after manipulation will make it good but
ter. The old dasher churn will do good
work, but it will drive the boys from the
farm to become lawyers and presidents of
colleges, ETC., if we are TO believe their rep
reservations. I use the rectangular churn.
If the foregoing rules have been observed,
thirty to forty minutes of steady churning
will bring the butter; yes, all of it; no dead
or unchurned cream, and the work is nearly
done. If it is June, and you wish for long
keeping, after drawing off the buttermilk,
add good pure water; few turns of the
churn is all that is necessary, but mind your
water is pure. Some wells, supposed good
and clean, that have not been examined for
some time, have mass of unceanness at
the bottom that makes it very Objectionable,
ruinous. Add the salt carefully, without
drawing motions of the ladle, rework care
fully in about twelve hours, not longer than
twenty-four hours under any circumstances,
and pack at once. Overworking or careless
drawing motions of butter worker or ladle,
Injuries the grain of the butter; a pressing
motion is desired. Butter standing twenty
four hours before reworking would mainly
dissolve the salt it contained, and too much
working, however carefully done, would ex-
pei the brine, making an undesirable dry but
ter. have packed butter in June, for ex-
pertinent, only once worked when the salt
was put in. 1t kept well; all the difference
I discovered was, it appeared little more
moist and briny. We make our butter most
ly from September to June, the cows being
idle in the hot weather. We are very par
ticular as to temperature, and as we make
our butter for some one to eat, and not to
keep, we do not consider it necessary to wash
it TO get out the buttermilk: but, mind you,
even then the buttermilk must be got out !;
without washing, we fancy it has little more
of that nutty flavor so toothsome to our city
customers"
