The DAIR 7.

SOMETIME ago it was stated in these col
umns that whisky or vinegar barrels for
packing butter could not be made a success.
and the only barrel then recommended. ex-
cept new, was the pork barrel. A year O.
experiments proves some new developments
which we are pleased to record. 1t has been
demonstrated that a continuous soaking of
whisky barrels will finally cleanse them
from the whisky or vinegar flavor. Mr.. J..
Edwards, a practical dairyman of Deer
Lodge county, used a number of whisky
barrels tor holding buttermilk and whey.
After keeping them filled nearly all of one
he concluded to clean one thorough
ly, and did SO by scalding and rinsing. But
ter packed in this barrel is represented to
have kept in tirst-class shape. Another
plan adopted by J. w. Linder, of Madison
county, is to first take a scoop-chizel and
shave all the charred part of the barrel out
and then fill with salt water, and let it soak
several months. Mr.. L. is very successful
IN keeping butter packed in barrels cleaned
IN this manner. He rolls the butter wraps
with cloth, places in the barrel and covers
with strong brine.

GILT-EDGED BUTTER AGAIN.

we see a column article ''golng the
rounds" giving Instructions how gilt-edged
butter, as 1t is called, can be made. They
are most elaborate, beginning with the pur-
chase OF the cows, and thence progresses
steadily on until the butter is received in
the market that it is intended to supply.
Some time ago we alluded to this subject.
and showed how easy it was to make the
best butter. and how generally it was done
by the farmers of at least Eastern Per.nsyl-
vania. The details in this article are so
profuse that it would take a good deal of
studying to understand what is distinctly
meant, and much more than most butter
producers would care to tax themselves
with, when they are able to make as good
butter as ever tickled the palate already.
We have shown that it does not require
thoroughbred cattle to produce such butter;
but only good cattle, as every farmer al
ways tries to buy, and these well-cared tor
careful milking, frequent churning, proper
working, and clean, sweet, well-ventilated
dairy rooms to keep it in. We eat gifted
butter the whole year round, with OCCASION

who possess the means, con-
no other. We know there is very lit

BUTTER-MAKING

The New York Tribune, in speaking of
the Higgins process of making butter, saws 4:
John Higgins, who a few year ago laid the
country under obligations by developing
the method Of gathering butter in a granu-
lated form, has made the obligation larger
by devising a method for preserving and
transporting butter to any market in the
world.
The means are as simple as barreNng
pork. He gathers the butter in the granu-
lated form in the churn, and as soon as the
buttermilk. is rinsed off, the granules. are
Immersed in saturated brine made of purest
salt. When the cask is sull it is headed.

A LETTER ON BLAcKLEG.

Blackieg has carried off many calves ir
this neighborhood this winter. A shor1
time since it made it's appearance in nv
herd. After the first one died, we skinned
him and found the blood a perfect Jelly un-
der the skin, on nearly half the body. Near
~ all our %neighbors say it was veritable
''Diackleg." When the. second one was ia
ken sick we waited a little while, to be sure
it was the same thing, and killed him. On
opening him we found his second stomach
as dry as a chip. This had caused his death.
The calves had been well ted on early-cut
tame hay, with a light feed of oats and corn.
But for a few days they had been eating
dead grass on,the meadow, and / now feel
sure this. with a lack Of water, caused the
disease. Another was taken three hours
after. We killed and opened him and found
also his "manifoNs dry. We at once strew-
cd salt into bran, poured brine on the hay
and kept the animal where they could get
water at any time. Since then we have
lost no. more calves.
We had eleven calves that slept in an
open shed in a yard where they could get
water at any time night or day, and twenty
two head that were shut in a warm calf
nous from 6 O'Clock in the evening till 7 in
the morning. The calves all had the same
feed. OF the twenty-five, we lost. three /; of
the eleven, none. So we are satisfied that
plenty OF salt and free access to water will
keep calves free from blackleg. We are sat
isfied from what,we can learn of smut poi
son, that it dries up the manifold-because
1t will not digest-and produces death the
as ssblackleg'' or ''dry murrain. Plen-
ty Of salt is an important item. Salt will
thirst IN the animal, and it will
drink enough water to induce moisture in
the stomach.-Cor. Prairie Farmer.

He was executed at Orleans, in the
presence of a vast crowd, on the Sth
April, 1913. His courage had COM

no absolute confession OF his guilt, how

One note of Wind to each least light leaf:

Sweet as the rose is, and feet as the dew.

Love heard from afar the rush of his wings,
Felt the blast of them over the sea,
And turned his face where the shadows be,
And wept for sound of disastrous things.

With pale sweet flowers by wet winds blown
He wove for the forehead of one a wreath.
His voice was sad as the wind that signs
Through cypress trees under rainy skies,

An Electric Storm.

Early prospectors above the timber
line in the Rocky Mountains have often
narrated experiences not unlike those
that are described as follows:
- On the 23d of August NJ. f. Strobl,
of Linz joined party which was max
ing the ascent Of the Gross Glocllner,
and left the StUdlhutte at O'Clock in the
morning, with a storm apparently
threatening from the west. At 3 a. IN.
they found themselves in the middle of
the storm cloud, and were compelled by
the darkness to come to "a complete halt.
Suddenly the storm broke out directly
above their heads, the thunder and light
ming being at once awful and grand in
the extreme. All nature seemed TO be
the scene Of one vast conflagration, and
they prepared for the worst. The guide
endeavored to console them, addressing
them in these words: Gentlemen,
we shall all be struck dead; but what
does it matter? The lightning might
have killed us even if we had been in
our beds For some time the lives Of
the members of the party did not ap-
pear worth half a minutes purchase.
Moreover, every one temporarily suffered
from complete blindness, owing 10 the
overpowering intensity of the electrical
display At length, however, the power
of vision began to return, and strange
phenomenon presented itself. Each Of
the six persons appeared enyeloped in
all the brilIiancy Of St. ElmO's fire.
From the hair Of their heads and boards,
/ from their coats and hats, stream of
electric sparks was discharging itself.
The cords with which their hats had,
on account of the violence OF the storm,
been fastened to their coat-buttons, gave
out light, while from the alpenstocks
which they had stuck in the snow the
electric fluid streamed out. Notwith-
standing the imminent danger to which
they had been exposed, none Of the gen
tlemen we're in the least injured.

The Pronunciation of "U."

As the schools have just opened and
as every body reads your paper, if you
will allow me the space, | wish to call
the attention of the teachers and pupils
to fault in English pronunciation ex-
ceeding common in the North, rarely
heard in the South or in England, but
which seems to be spreading here. Owe
have faults enough in the South without
grating some Northern ones upon them. }
refer to the vulgarism-if may so
term it-of giving the long "u," which
is in so many of our common words, the
sound of - OO.''
For instance, 95 out of every 100 North
erners will say institOot instead of insti-
tute, dooty instead of duty-a perfect
rhyme to the word beauty. They will
call new and news moo and nOOs-a per-
feet rhyme to pew and pews-and so on
through the dozens and hundreds of
similar words. Not Il dictionary in the
English language authorizes this. In
student and stupid the Gu" has the
same sound as in cupid, and they should
not be pronounced stOOdent and stoOpid,
as so many teachers are in the habit of
sounding them.
If it is a vulgarism to call a door a
dOah-as we all admit-isn't it as much
OF NulSdrlSm 10 call q newspaper q
noOspaper? One vulgarism is Northern
and the other SOuthern-that's the only
difference. When the London Punch
wishes to burlesque the pronunciation of
servants it makes them call the duke the
dook, the tutor the tooter, and tube a
tOob. You never find the best Northern
speakers, such as Wendell Phillips,
Charles Summer, George William Curtis,
Emerson, Holmes and men of that class
saying moo for new OF Toosday for Tues
day, avenoO for avenue, or calling a
dupe a doOp. 1t is fault that South
erner also never falls into. He has slips
enough of another kind, but he doesn' t
slip on the long "u." As many of our
teachers have never had their attention
called to this, 1 hope they will excuse
this notice Washington Star.

EbOniZed Furniture.

Chamber furniture made of ebOnized
wood, in imitation of the rich - ebony
and gold'' more common in the Eastern
hemisphere, is quite popular, and there
are few fine furniture-stOres in this city
in which more or less of it is not dis
played. Some superb specimens are to
be seen at the dealers, where they at
tract much attention. The process of
ebonizing wood is comparatively simple,
and has been described as follows: The
wood is first stained with a decoction of
lOgwood, which may be purchased from
any druggist or dealer in dyestuffs. 1t
is dissolved in warm water until all has
been taken up that the water will hold.
Application to the wood is made freely
withs,a large, soft bristle brush, and the
surface is rubbed with n cloth to prevent
the formation of a gImmy coat thereon.
After the article has been left to dry for
few hours the second application,
which consists of vinegar in which a
quantity of nails or clean filings have
been soaked for several days, is also
freely laid on with a brush The mo-
ment the vinegar touches the wood it
combines with the lOgwOOd solution in
the pores, making an ink which is per-
manent jet-black stain. The influence
of the iron in the vinegar is all-impOr-
tant, and it is really that which does the
work. If any tendency to grayness is
noticed Il second treatment with the log
wood is necessary, but this seldom hap
pens if the materials have been properly
used in the first instance. When per
fectly dry, the article is vanished and
rubbed down, or finished with furniture
oil well rubbed in. A dead black sur
face is what is sought after. Cherry is
considered the best wood for ebonizing,
and the furniture to which we have re-
ferred is most generally known to the
trade as "ebonized " cherry" White
wood, maple, and beech are, however,
used with good effect. Any close
grained, dense wood will answer. Ash,
chestnut, and oak are not suitable
