Butter Making.

A multitude of theories have been advanced in
regard to the treatment of milk for butter, each
having advocates, and the dairy sections have been
thoroughly canvassed by agents for the various
patent pans, coolers etc. which in principle on
ly the old-fashoned milk pans, enlarged, with some
arrangement for cooling with water underneath
and around the sides all of them wrong, because
the cream as it slowly rises to the surface, expos
ed to the deterioratng influences of the surround
ing atmosphere, to odor, dust and insects. Milk
thus exposed soon begins to deteriorate, and de-
yelops acid which Injuries the flavor and lessons
the quantity of cream the cold water underneath
the vessel creates circulation in the milk, retard-
ing the butter globules in coming to the surface
and, the milk being colder than the surrounding
atmosphere, the moisture In the air is condensed
into the milk the cream rising to the surface re-
ceiving the condensation, with all its taints and
impurities. Thus any open-pan system of setting
milk, where water is used to cool tho milk, must
make poorer quality of butter than would be
made were the same milk set In pans at the same
temperature as the atmosphere of the milk room.
THE ONLY PERFECT SYSTEM OF MAKING BUTTER
is that in which milk is wholly surrounded and
c0Uered 6y 1Cdter The surface of the milk will then
be the same temperature as that at the bottom or
sides of the vessel, and wholly excluded from the
can Gilt Edged butter be uniformly produced,
without regard to weather or season, whether in
June or "dog days"
During the season of 1876 Mr.. William Cooley, of
Washington County, Vermont, discovered sys-
tenn of butter making which is destined to work
Complete revolution in dairyinp The honor Of
the discovery that cream could be raised within
twelve hours, or between milkngs, belongs to Mr..
hardly be computed. When generally adopted, as
this new system is destined to be, the saving in
cost of apparatus the increased quantity of butter
obtained through hot weather. and the value of
the milk after parting with its butter, will add
millions yearly to the profits of darying in this
country.
SUCCESS OF THE NEW SYSTEM
Last season few diaries were furnished with
the apparatus and not until the close of the grass
season was the system and apparatus perfected
but the process was found a complete success
Not only could the cream be all raised In twelve
hours, but 1t was proved beyond doubt that all
the butter of the milk could be obtained in -four
hours, IL the proper conditions were Observed and
1t was "gilt edged"
ABOUT 1000 DIARIES ARE NOW SUPPLIED
with the Cooley apparatus 1t is therefore not an
experiment but its value and success are assured.
1t may be seen in practical operation at the fol-
lowing places:

Outside Opinion of the Hartford Fairs.
CHESTNUT HILL, Hartford Co., Md,
March Lot 1874

To Tie Editor Of TIE NEgiS and HteNigence'
SIR: Having been travelling to some extent, as
agent for the Casho Machine Company, of New
ark, DEL, through the different parts of Maryland
Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, have
made the acquaintance of prominent farmers and
mechanics. To my pleasure and pride for old Har-
ford, heard many gentlemen who visited our
Agricultural Fair several times, speak of 1t in
the most tattering terms as being one of
the largest and best managed county fairs they had
ever attended. They especially appreciated the
and the attention received of the managers and
officers on the fair grounds. Though strangers,
they felt themselves at home among us. They
also were of the opinion that this Agricultural en-
terprise was not money making scheme, like
some of their own, but chiefly beneficial for the
people, and for their enjoyment.
Approaching those sentiments myself and feel
ing them to be to the credit of the people of the
county, thought proper to make you acquainted
with them. If you consider this worthy of space
in your valuable paper, please publish it.

FOUND DEAD AND EATEN BY HoGs.-On Tues

well-known and respectable citizen of Marshalrs
district, was found dead, in an old and unoccu-
pied stable, ON the farm of Mr.. John N. Nelson,
near Federal HILL The head and right arm had
been eaten from the body by hogs. The deceas-
ed had been employed for several years past by
Mr. Nelson, as miller. He was last seen alive
by Mr.. Nelson's family, about ten o'clock on
Monday morning. He had been suffering with
pneumonia, but had nearly recovered, and was
apparently as well as he had been for several
days before He went away and did not return,
but no search was made for him, Mr.. Nelson
supposing he had gone to some of the neighbors.

REPORT OF THE POTTER CoMMITTEE.-
The report of the committee appointed to in
vestigate the frauds in the Presidential cleo
ton of 1876, has been made 1t contains
nothing in theway offacts that was not belev-
ed by every unprecedented mind in the country.
Nevertheless, it fixes in an enduring form, as
o part of the history ofthe country, the broad
fact that the people of this country elected
Samuel j. Tilden President; that Louisiana
and Florida were honestly carried by the
Democrats, but that by the manipulations of
visiting statesmen and Returning Board
rogues the Democratic majorities were
oyerthrown, and the minority candidate
placed in the Presidential chair
The report is calm and dgnitied docu-
ment, and has evidently not been written, as
such reports too often are as n campaign
document to aid the party to which the ma
jority of the committee belong. Its concu-
sons are not based upon the evidence of such
selfconvicted perjurers as James Anderson,
Weber and Mrs. jerks, but upon the testi-
mony of respectable Republicans and Demo
Gratis, such as General Barlow and Others
The Republican members of the committee
also presented a minority report, in which
they complain that the majority report in the
Florida case was based upon er parte testimo-
ny, though the fact is that it rests upon the
evidence of Messrs. Noyes, Barlow, Cowgirl
McLin, Stearns and VIM. +. Chandler, all OF
whom are Republicans.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler also submitted his
individual report He thinks that there was
| no full and free elections in Louisiana, and the
| electoral vote of the State ought not to have
been counted for either candidate That il
| any legal election was held the vote was for
| the Tilden electors and Gov. Nichols That
| if the vote of the State is counted at all, and
the "bull-dozed" parishes thrown out, the
majority of the votes in the undisputed par.
ishes elected Packard, leaving two or more
of the Hayes electors unelected. This, he
says, would have given the Presidency to
| Tilden, as would have been the case if the
whole vote of the State had been rejected by
both Houses. He thinks the electoral com.
mission has not solved the difficulty of count.
ing electoral votes, and an exigency similar to
that of 1S76-'77 will surely lead to revolu.
ton. He regards the electoral commission as
unconstitutional General Butler says that
"the counting in of Mr.. Hayes was obtained
by a series of gross and unjustifable irregu.
larities and frauds, which cannot be too strong.
| ly condemned and reprobated"

THE LoMAX TRAGEDY.-Mrs. Lomax, whose
skull was crushed in with hammer, by her hus-
band, near Pleasantville, on Tuesday, the 25th
of February, was alive at last advices, and her
physicians, Drs. Davis and Rutedge, it is stated,
now have a slight hope of her recovery. She has
regained her consciousness, but has very little
to say about the affair. She stated to the doc
tors that her husband was unreasonably and
needlessly jealous, and she feared he would take
her life. A few nights before he inflicted the
terrible blows he arose from his bed and got
large knife. She trembled with fear for her life,
but lay perfectly still, and he did not harm her
She then determined to tell her friends, but de-
ferred doing so. On the day her husband struck
her she was suffering with a severe headache, and
was sitting in rocking chair with her head rest
ing on her hand, when her husband came in. He
made jealous accusations, which she denied, and
she endeavored to reason with him, but he would
not be convinced. Lomax ate his dinner
alone, and after concluding his meal moved
about the room, and, she thinks, went to
closet for some purpose She remembers
nothing furtherthat occurred. Lomax, after sum-
moning DR.. Davis, preceded him to the house.
but did not go in. The doctor requested him to
go for assistance, and he went at once for his
brothers, Joseph and Matthew Lomax, his part
ners in the wooden MILL He returned to the
house unpercevcd, and while the doctors were
dressing the wounds, Lomax was up stairs wash
ing out the stains of blood with which his cloth
ing had become covered in lifting his wife's head
on the pillow on which she was found. 1t is be-
lieyed he passed the night in the mill. Nothing
has been heard of him since. The neighbors
aver that there were no grounds whatever for any
suspicion of Mrs. Lomax's faithfulness. She is
represented to be lady of fine traits of charac-
ter, and her husband has always been regarded
as PEACEFUL quiet, inoffensive man.
