Making Butter.

The liking for butter that contains a
very small percentage of salt is taste
that is rapidly growing in this country,
and one which dairymen would do
well 10 cater to. or course, ~ butter
of this description will not bear long
keeping, it must OF necessity command
higher price than that which can be
held TO meet the demsnds OF the market.
On this account its manufacture Will
ordinarily be restricted TO dairics that
are situated within a relatively short
distance OF certain great centre. OF con
sumption. In this city the demand for
this species OF butter. due, doubtless
TO our large German and French popu-
lation, is very great, but As mentioned
above, the liking for this article is rap
idly growing among those with whom
the taste is not an inherited one In
deed, it only needs short soiourn in
an inland town or on farm in this
country TO become aware Of the strong

the landlady OF village boarding house.
or the wife of farmer, cannot under
stand the liking that Ler guests have
for what 10 her is an exceedingly insip-
id article of food. Another circumstance
that must always add 10 he cost of
butter with which little or no salt has
been worked, is the fact that = much
greater degree Of care is required in its
making.
Salt when plentifully used. is no.
torious disguiser of imperfeciions, while
on the other hand, Impurities can be
detected in strictly unsslted butter
that are not apparent in the milk. For
this reason the utmost cleanliness in the
manufacture is necessary, aud though
what is known a. y naturally cold hand
for touching butter is often spoken Of
a. highly desirable, it is much better TO
have it made in such q manner that di
rect contact with the hand is unneces-
sary. a device. which seems TO have
originated in Holstein, has recently
been introduced into one or two of the
fancy diaries in the State Of Massachus
etts. THIS Is rapidly rotating separs-
tor. built upon the principle of GEN.
trifueal machine in sugar refinery.
The fresh milk is poured into this. and
by its rapid revolutions the cream is in
minute or two separated from the
thin milk; presses are then used which
squeeze out all the Tactic acid that is to
be found in the buttermilk. By this
process unsalted butter can be made
which will, by careful keeping. retain
its good qualities tor some little time.
No doubt, as the demand increases. fac
ilities for meeting il will be found and
applied, as Americans are never back
ward in adapting means 10 ends; but
under the most favorable conditions,
butter of this kind will probably CON-
mand a price fully so per cent. higher
than that demanded for the ordina ~

How COOKING AFFECTS PoyAToEs.-
The nutritiye value OF potatoes is not
materially affected BY the different
ways OF cooking them unless they are
wasted In peeling. When potatoes are
peeled before cooking. unless they are
large and very thiniy pared, the waste
IL about one-fourth, and as most of the
mineral elements lie next the skin they
are generally cut away with il. The
analysis OF potatoes boiled in their
jackets show that they contain double
the quantity OF the salts of potash which
remains in those that have been peeled
besides this important fact. potatoes
boiled in their jackets do not waste
more than an ounce in pound. The
waste in baked potatoes, If peeled, is
about one-fourth; if they are eaten in
their skins there is but little waste.
Baked potatoes should be served the
moment they are soft: after that the
steam which escapes in the bursting of
the starch cells begins to condense, and
is absorbed by the mealy substance OF
the vegetable until il becomes sodden
and heavy; if baked potatoes are served
at the right point of cooking they are
perfectly digestible and wholesome ::
they should never be placed in cover
ed dish. nor allowed to stand an instant
after the. are done. IL is very easy
matter 10 have mesly boiled potatoes.
Let them be well washed with a brush
and cold water, q ring pared of all
around them, and then plunge them in
we'll sailed boiling water; boil them
steadily until they are quite tender, then
drain of the water, cover them with a
clean towel folded several times, and
set them q little of the fire for five
minutes. This will make Them meaIy !:
and BY putting them where they will
keep hot they will not grow wa,ery if
they stand for hours. Julia Corson, in
Chrisfian Union.

Fl. G. Conn, Esq, was the acting
District Attorney, and he seems to be

AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY


To the Editor of the Comet:
In YOUR scientific discourse on Comets,
at Hszlehurst, understood you TO advance
the monstrous doctrine that when the tails
of two Comets came together, the collision
was followed by the inevitable ignoratlon
of the laws of gravitation. My hearing IS
bad, and it is possible that misunderstood
your theory aoout Comets, in respect to
eravitation, but if you are serious in the
attempt to destroy tn, gravitation OF the
tails of Comets, I feel it my duty in the ia
terest of astronomical science to enter a
protest against tho heresy, and prove that
YOU are mistaken. Will You kindly answer
this inquiry and state your proposition i'll
distinct terms so that may know how to
deal with it. I claim to be an astronomer
myself, and can't rest easy under de"
liberate effort to rob Comets of one eft the
inalienable rights of all planets.
CosMoLoGIsr.
Our learned subscriber evidently
misunderstood the purport of the Ian
guage employed upon the gravitatlon
point of the tails of two Comets when
they switched into collision. The fact
is we denied emphatically that coils
ion of any sort ever happened between
properly regulated Comets. So great
is their sense of propriety they never
clash with their own race of celestials,
or with any other traveller through
space. No man can Faithfully charge
any Comet of getting in the way OF
stars, planets, moons or suns. They
travel along pretty much upon their
own hook, it is true, but they keep ont
of the way of regular trains and never
collide with each other. This is the
theory we advanced about Comets, and
we should deeply regret to have any
conscientious subscriber come to the
conclusion that we were trying to sub
vert tho we'll settled laws of gravitation,
or create a revolution in public senti-
ment on the true mission and powers
of the tail of Comet. We could not
be guilty of thing like that. Our
friend has COMPOUNDED the p0stuIat"n
of an ancient cosmologist for ours,
which we adverted to simply to show
the unsoundness of his theory. There
is no issue between the Hazlehurst
"Cosmologist" and ourselves on the
subject of gravitation. We do not
seek to disturb the present order and
of Comets, least of all to in
terfere in the matter of the gravitation
of their tails.

A FAIR COUNT.

In this county several circulars have
been issued asking the people of the county
to vote for Sam Thomas, for Sheriff.
This would seem to be a Greenback tricR
to split the Democratic vote We are quite
sure that Col Thomas has no hand in it,
end does not endorse it. He could have
had the Democratic nomination for the
asking. There never has been any Difficult
ty of his being his own successor up to The
Democratic Convention. He did not seek
it did not want it-emphatically declined
it. OF course, under present circumstances
be cannot be elected, and these self-styled
friends are placing him in a false attitude,
and the action is not one of friendship to him;
and we are quite sure that the votes given to
Thomas will have only the effect of lessen
ing the vote for Morrison, the regular
Democratic nominee. Vote for Morrison
for Sheriff. Don't play into the hands Of
tricky Greenbackers or Radicals by throw
ing away your votes on Col. Thomas who
does not want them, and who now stands
no chance of an election, and would not
accept the Office if elected.

A BRIGHT LIGHT ExT1Nau1sHED

BY a special telegram to The COMET,
dated Oct. Both, we are deeply panied to
learn that Paul A, Botto, editor of the
Natchez Democrat, was dying. He has
been ill for two weeks, and before these
lines see the light, the vital spark will have
gone out
Mr. Botto was a man CT rare gifts and
extended culture, with nice sense of
honor and duty. He used his powers only
for good, and he was valuable coadjutor
and an ornament to the community. Faith
full and truly conservative in all things, his
influence was deservedly great, and his loss
will create hiatus in the newspaper firma>
ment of Mississippi that will be hard to
fill One of its brightest and steadiest
lights has been entinguished.
