tie daughter Edith, and that she would
rise again aster three days. Converting
his table into an altar, he fulfilled his
threat. A meeting of the sect was held
at his house in the afternoon, and he
openly boasted of the deed. Such a Sc
cret of course could not be kept, though
there seems reason to suspect that sew
eral of the Second Adventists shared the
maniacal hopes of Freeman. By su-
perstitiOus folly of the same sort the fol-
lowers of an Italian fanatic, recently
shot by the soldiery ina scufle, watched
hopefully by his grave. Freeman has
been arrested, but shows no signs of re-
covery. He sings hymns, and maintains
that he is a second Abraham" There
is of course no form of modern religion
in America, however erratic, that EN-
courages crime like Freeman's. His ac-
ti0ns are entirely the result of halluci-
nations acting on brain predisposed to
homicidal folly. The same sort of phe-
nOmena were exhibited hundred years
ago in Scottish village. Some Presby-
terian fanatics in little lonely village
actually determined to sacrifice boy,
and preparations for the rite had been
made, when the wild hill folk were for
tunately interrupted. As blood had not
actually been shed, the affair was ju-
diciously hushed up. and the offenders
got off with reprimand. Unluckily,
the American story can not thus be con-
cealed, and may possibly have disastrous
consequences among excited and hyster-
ical fanatics"

How % Make Good Butter.

The advent Of grass will put every
farmers wife in mind of the fact that
there is always something new coming
up in dairying. 1t may be all summed
up, as we have time and again stated, in
the following receipts:
Be sure the pasture is of the best, and
that 1t contains variety Of the sweetest
grasses. Do not change from winter
feed to spring pasture too suddenly, and,
particularly, do not turn out your cows
too eally to shift for themselves.
Let the milking be done by quiet per-
SONS, whether male or female, at regu-
lar times morning and evening, knowing
always that the milking is conducted as
cleanly as it is quietly.
Know that the utensils for holding the
milk are of the best description and al
ways scrupulously clean.
See that the milk is perfectly cooled
to free it of animal OdOr. A thermome-
ter is an absolute necessity in all well
regulated dairies.
Be sure the room for setting milk is
cool, and so it may be darkened at will.
Thorough ventilation is one of the gold
en- rules in dairying. The temperature
of the dairy room should be never more
than so degrees, nor less than 40 degrees.
Skim the milk as soon as the first indi-
cations of getting thick from Topper are
shown. Turn the cream slowly into the
jar, and stir thoroughly when more
cream is added. Keep the receptacle for
the cream cool, from so to so degrees,
and cover up with some fabric that will
keep out minute insects, and at the same
time allow access of air.
Churn when the cream is ripe, that is
when the cream is sour, every other day
in spring, and every day in summer. Do
not allow the cream in the churn to rise
much above sixty degrees. Do not churn
too fast. There is nothing gained by
seeking to bring the butter in few min
utes, From twenty to thirty minutes is
about right.
Good grass will make nice colored but
ter. At such seasons, when the color of
butter is pale, use cOloring carefully. 1t
is better that butter be rather right than
dark yellow.
When the butter comes in granules
stop churning Wash with cold water
or cold brine; work only enough to
bring it to firm uniform mass. Do not
salt heavily; from three-quarters to one
ounce of salt to pound of butter is
enough.
Pack in tight clean. sweet packages /;
till to within half inch of the top, COW
er with clean cloth, and add brine to
fill until sold. Keep it in the coolest
place you have, and there is no reason
why you should not get the top price for
your butter.-[ Prairie Farmer.
