Butter Making.

At the meeting of the New York State
Dairymen's Association, held at Bingham
ton. last month, Mr.. Rensselaer, Day, of
diego, practical dairyman, gave his mode
OF manufacturing butter, as follows:
He sets his milk in deep cans in pool of
water at the temperature OF So deg, and pre-
fers not to have lower temperature. He
skins as soon as the milk turns sour and
ehurns at once, at a temperature of 62 deg.
to SO deg. He finds that he cannot set all Of
the cream out of the milk unless he takes off
about one-third of the milk, carefully taking
the top with his conical skinner, having no
holes in it. He thinks skinner with holes
is the most useless thing in the dairy. Churn-
ing one-third of the milk, of course he has to
have larger churn than he would if he
churned only the cream. When the butter
has separated from the milk he takes it out
and puts it in large wooden bowl. The
buttermilk is drawn off and set for short
time in the deep cans. Then the particles of
into the wooden bowl with the butter. This
done he takes large dipper full OF cold
water, holds it as high as his head and lets
the water fall in a slender stream into the
can of buttermilk, thus agitating it to the
very bottom. A few quarts of water poured
into the buttermilk in this manner cause the
further separation of the butter from the
milk in very short time. This is also dipped
off and poured into the wooden bowl of but
ter. In this way Mr.. Day claims to get all
the butter out OF the milk and secure max
imum yield.
The bowl of butter is filled with strong
brine, which is allowed to stand for short
time. This causes the small particles of but
ter in the milk to completely separate from
it and adhere together 10 a mass. The milky
brine is poured off and the butter washed.
Then the butter is put on the worker and
worked and sailed. The next day another
working follows and the butter is packed for
market. Mr.. Day finds that by even sailing
he avoids all streaks. Before putting his
butter back into the bowl, to stand over to
the next day, the bowl is scalded, rinsed in
cold water, and the inside thoroughly rubbed
with fine salt. This is to prevent the wood
from drawing the salt from the butter and
thus making white what comes in contact
with the bowl. He finds no "grain" in but
ter until.it is sailed, and thinks this appear
ance is due to the action of the salt. He
avoids white specks in butter by straining
the cream carefully through common wire
sieve, and then gently pouring little warm
water on the residne of cream and caseine to
melt and wash through the cream, leaving
the caselne In the sieve. He finds his COWS
yield more milk during the periods of moon
light nights, and thinks it may be because
they feed more in these nights than they do
in dark ones.

Runners and Drummers,

Every town where much local business is done is periodically visited by class of men who represent all kinds of busi- ness carried on in the place and those which are situated away from a railroad or river would be exceedingly dull but for those travelling salesmen who, in Illinois, Iowa and Kansas, are called "runners," and in Arkansas and the South generally, "drummers. Their advent is particularly welcomed by the hotel and livery men, since they always leave in their wake few loose dollars, and bring with them the freshest gossip from the great throbbing arteries of commerce and politics. They are usually men of the world, full of life and fresh stories, and give to these secluded burgs something of cosmopolitan air during thelr stay. As men they represent nearly all phases of society and many grades of intelligence. "No pent-up Utica confines their powers" and poli- tics and religion are discussed with an abandon and dash that make their opin- ions quoted and respected by the simple hearted villagers as though they were oracles of wisdom itself.

The Convict System.

It is evident, says an exchange, that the convict system in Texas ought to be reformed, if what the Texas newspapers say of it is true. The Austin Statesman asserts that "of Russian political pris- oners confined in the quicksilver mines of Siberia, no such tales can be told as those regarding the treatment of Texas convicts in the forests of Wood county" and the Dallas Herald says:
 "It is bad enough, in all conscience, that the eyes of the visitor to and the traveller through Texas are to be greeted every few miles with gangs of men in prison garb, working on railroads or on plantations, with squads of armed men following them about; but it is still worse for the sensibillties of a civilized and Christian people to be shocked every few days with the sickening details of some convict's death at the hands of the guards"
 Texas is not the only State in which there is an appalling mortality of con- victs. In every State in which convicts are hired out to work in gangs, many lose their lives either through the cru city of the contractors who profit by their labor, or of the guards who are placed in charge of them. Besides, the temptation and opportunities to escape are so frequent that scores of convicts perish in making the attempt.

with the right he cut down the savages. Weatherley was formerly well-known man in fashionable life in London.
 During the trial of Alexander Sol ovieff for attempting to assassinate the Czar, on the 14th of April, it was ascer- tained that he had obtained the revolver with which he shot at the Emperor from a reputable and well known doctor of St. Petersburg, named Weimer. It is also reported that Solovieff procured from the said Weimer the poison with which he attempted to commit suicide after his failure to kill tLe Czar that Weimer owned the horse by means of which the assailants of General Dreuteln attempted to escape. Dr. Weimer was arrested, and has now been tried and sentenced to death. It is understood that, while he does not deny that he gave the pistol to Solovieff, he insists that he was ignorant of the purpose for which he intended to use it. But the secret police brought before the Court evidence, real or manufactured, which tended strongly to show that Dr. Weimer was in correspondence and sympathy with several persons who have either been convicted of Nihilism or who have fled from Russia to avoid such convic- tion, and this sealed his doom. He is to be hanged in few days unless his appeal for mercy should receive the fav- orable consideration of the Czar, which is considered very doubtful. Dr. Weimer is said to be @ friend of Joachim Gebl- sen, the revolutionary agitator and editor of Der Glock,aer dn Eail, who was ex- pelled from Geneva several months ago. It is also proved that he procured Uhe poison.
 The girls of Italy, says @ letter from that country to an American paper, do many things our young ladies would not think of doing, and they leave un. earned certain accomplishments which only the very poorest American fair ones pass by. The Italian bride makes he1 own outfit, and as the trousseau consists
 of six dozen of everything, being in tended to last twenty-five years, and al must be embroidered and frilled, tho task is not an easy one. But they take their time to it, occupying two years il getting it in shape, and all the while
 the work goes on the lovers are court ing. The husband gives the dresses shawls, everything, in fact, but the un derclothing. Italian girls do not learr to sing, draw and play the piano. These
 are left to people who earn their living by them. But they are taught how tt
 sew, cook and iron.

The Habit of Profanity.

The Louisville Co,rier-Journal bun dles together it's advice to profane men in this wise: "To all who are afflicted with the habit of profanity, and who are desirous of curing themselves of it, we would suggest that as beginning, they resolve, and rigidly adhere to the resolution, that whenever they feel a disposition to swear they will take no other name in vain except that of the Aztec god of war, Huitzilopochtli. That will give their anger chance to cool and to disappear before they get to the other end of the word, and they will moi thus be guilty of the sin of 8 complete oath. And if Huitzilopochtli won't break them, then their cases are hope less,"

How He Got Even.

"Didst ever meet the handshaking bore?" asks Q Boston paper. He called in the other day, happening first in the press room. Seeing him coming and knowing his pe'schant, the pressman prepared himself for the ordeal by slyly smearing his own hand with printers ink. The visitor came on all uncon- scious of his fate, reached out his man. dible, and received an impression at one and the same time. But, ah the art fulness of the fellow. He spake not, he made no sign. He simply walked around the room and through the various rooms, and with engaging impartiality shook the hand of every one-editor-in- chief, "local," the scissors-man, the fore man, the intelligent compositor, proof-read- CTS, demon and all. Not one escaped. He then took his leave soberly and be- comingly, like one who retires from 8 funeral service. And then ,here was 8 rush for wash-basins.
