THE OLD RED CENT.

AS the old ssred cent has now
passed out Off use, and, except rarely,
out of sight, liko the ''old oaken buck
ct. ]" its history is matter of sufficient
interest for preservation. i The cent
was first proposed by Robert Morris.
the great financier Of the revolution,
and was named by Jefferson two years
after. 1t began to make it's appear
ance from the mint in 1902. It bore
the head OF Washington on one side,
and thirteen links on the other. The
French revolution created a rage for
French ideas IN America, which put
on the cent, instead of the head of
washington, the head of the Goddess
OF Llberty-a French Liberty, with
neck thrust forward and flowing locks.
The chain on the reverse side was dis
placed by the olive wreath of peace.
but the French Liberty was short
lived, and SO was her portrait on our
cent. The next head or figure that
succeeded this-the staid, classic dame
with a 1illet round her hair-came into
fashion about thirty or forty years
ago, and her finely chiaelled Grecian
features have been but slightly altered
by the lapse Of time.

BUTTER-MAKING.


The question is often asked, what is
the difference between Creamery, Fac
tory and Dairy butter. Many Of the
butter makers can not tell the differ
ence; by investigation and examination
we believe the folio wing is the true
definition of Creamery butter: Cream
cry butter is made from diaries from
IS to any larger number of COWS, and
the room where the milk is set is of
uniform tempe rature, the same, day
and night; the cream after being skim
med, kept at the same temperature I'M
til the acid begins to start, when 1t is
churned, sailed evenly and each day
the butter is all alike, for the reason,
the butter room is kept at even tenn
perature. Cream churned at the same
temperature and age, sailed with pure
salt, and. the same amount to pound
of butter, each day the same process is
gone through, and each churning of
butter is all of the same quality.
Factory butter is such as is taken
III by merchants, from different dairies
and packed together, or bought Of the
makers, packed and shipped and sold
in a lot. .5
Dairy butter is made with no uni
form rule of temperature of the room
where the milk is kept, or where the
churning. is. done, OF in sailing; fire.
quently the milk is. set in room adj
joining where the cooking for the fam
lily is done, and in consequence the
cream is tainted more or less with the
flavor Of the food cooking; the temper
allure is also very uneven. The result is
some butter is oily and poor, OH other
days is better, when the temperature
happens to be more Uniform, and
sometimes may be as good as creamery
The secret Of making good butter is
in the uniform temperature OF the
place where the milk and cream is
kept, the cleanliness CT pals and pans
the milk is put in; it is absolutely nee
essary that uniform quantity of salt
is used, and Of the purest quality that
can be obtained. The common salt
will not do, it must be the purest.
If butter-makers, Off they have but
few cows, will have @ suitable place
to set their milk, keep the same of
uniform temperature by ice in warm
weather, and fire in colder, salted uni
formly, will hardly ever fail to make
first class butter, and will be satisfied
with their butter No complaint can
lsa made by buyer or consumer.
