Cleanse Immediately.

THERE is good fraction of the Sue
cess in butter-making dependent on the
proper cleaning of dairy utensils. Some
appear to think it will do just as well to
wait few hours before the milk-pails
are washed and scalded that the churn
may stand half or whole day before
being washed and the germs of decay
killed by heat that the cream-pail may
be used for several patches of cream be-
fore thorough cleansing, because sweet
cream IS going into it again that the
butter-worker may stand until you want
to use it again before scalding, because
it will be then freshly cleansed when
you use it, etc.
There is altogether too much of this
needless way of carrying on butter
making. The nitrogenous portion of
milk (casein) furnishes just the sub
stance required for ferments, for the de-
velopment of germs wholly inimical to
pure milk or butter. These ferments
remain in the crevices of wood, or the
are dislodged by immediate cleansing,
it requires boiling or steaming for con-
siderable length of time to dislodge
them. Every utensil, after each use,
must be Immediately cleansed if you
wish to prevent taints in your milk,
cream or butter. Wooden pals are now
discarded from use by the patrons of
cheese factories, because they cannot
be trusted to properly cleanse them.
If they were Immediately subjected
to steam hest or boiling water after each
use, they would be sweet, but this steam
or boiling water requires to penetrate
every pore. The dairymaid or operator
cannot be too prompt in cleansing dairy
utensils. National LiUe Stock Journal.

Immigration Statistics.

Statistics are seldom interesting to
the general reader, but these published
in the ''Statistical Abstract" issued
from the Government printing Office
last week. will be found rare excep-
ton. It appears from these statistics
that the whole number of emigrants ar
irving in this country during the nine
years ending December 81, 1879, was
1874, 934. This is an average of over a
quarter of million a year, while the
aggregate is nearly equal to the popu-
lation of the United States at the close
of the Revolutionary war. The number
of English people arriving in this coun
try during the nine years embraced in
the statement, was 378, 252, while in
the same time there came from Ireland
800, ,268 and from Scotland "a, ,924. Thus
Great Britain has lost 100000 of her
people in nine years, besides 100000
who have settled in Canada. OF other
nationalities there came to this country
during the nine years III, 1853 Scandi-
navians, 1883 French, 1898 Rus
slams. The largest movement from
Germany was during the years 1S71-72-
'73, Immediately following the Franco
Prussian war, when the annual arrivals
were respectively 1854, 141, 100 and
149,67 During the business depres-
sion in this country it dropped to less
than one-fifth ofits highest figure, then
in 1879 it rose to 81, ,602. A very small
proportion of these emigrants are of the
pauper element, the majority of them
being Industrious working people, who
start Immediately for the West and be-
come respected persons. The class oi
foreigners landing on our shores. has
been steadily improving of late years,
come, especially in the case of the Irish,
that there is now no necessity for ap
| prehension as to the beneficial results
of the increasing tide of emigration

Cheese Making.

PROF. SHELDON, writing to the Rural
Nes0 Yorker, says: ''In the process OF
making cheese, the great bulk of the
milk-sugar is not retained in the curd,
but passes off in the whey; SO it follows
that if the whey is imperfectly got out,
too large portion of the milk-sugar is
also retained in the cheese, and it is
this that is the cause of sweet cheese.
This sugar, too, or a portion of it, en-
ters into fermentation in the cheese,
forming, among other products, car
bonic-acid gas, which, in trying to es-
cape, causes the cheese to heave and
become porous. An excess of whey
causes annotto-that is used for color
ing cheese-to be unequally distributed,
so that the cheese is not of uniform color;
or the Tactic acid formed from the milk
sugar has a destructive effect on the
coloring matter later on, causing it to
fade and the cheese to become of a bad
color. The presence of whey and the
fermentation caused by the milk-sugar
cause the cheese to decay without rip
ening, in a manner that makes it a very
disagreeable and unhealthy article OF
food. The necessity of getting out all
the moisture, over and above the guam
tity which the cheese may safely be
allowed to retain, will now be apparent.
This is effected, first, by the cutting of
the curd; second, by pressure; and
third, by moderate amount of acidity,
where such is employed. Acidity in
cheese-making is the most effectual
means of expelling the whey, but ii
must be employed with great caution,
for, though it is capital servant, it is
a bad MASTER

The Returning Tenderfoot.

The return of the tenderfoot has be-
gun for the season. Yesterday noticed
a number of them trudging northward
over the railroad track, their blankets
on their backs and their clothes pretty
well used up. They had come to Col
orado on emigrant tickets and grub
stake of twenty dollars, in the hope OF
stumbling across a bonanza. Of course
they weren't hit very hard by bonan-
"a and now they are on the back track.
shall never forget the picture of one
poor fellow sitting under a cottonwood
tree, with his shoes off and his bare feet
stretched on his blankets. What a look
of appealing hunger he fixed upon the
train as we whizzed by! am still won
dering if he has yet mustered up cour-
age to put on his shoes and trudge along
towards his fathers farm in Kansas or
Illinois. What a difference there is in
an old-timer. Let him be broke and a
thousand miles from home he is still
as smiling as a California bride of -
week on her way to the divorce court,
Full of hope and running over with
:. sand" he is ready to tackle anything
that offers, and always as happy as a
clam at high water. You will never see
him counting the ties on railroad
track. He is too true an American to
turn back. If he can't go tirst-class to
his destination he goes as a bullwhacker.
If hungry to-day he'll probably get
something to eat tomorrow. This is
his country and he knows it. He is the
iron soul that knows not difficulty or
danger; and he is of that stuff that
evolves civilization out of chaos and
builds the cities of the trackless plains.

Poisoning Horses.

The Rural New Yorker says: "Grooms
are too much in the habit of admins
tering drugs, wholly careless or igno-
rant of their injurious effect. This is
particularly the case with arsenic, which
they freely use in order to g i've horses
finer and more snowy coat of hair.
We often hear of-cases of the death of
horses from this cause, both at home
and abroad. In some European coun-
tries, particularly in Hungary, we have
heard that the lower class of females
are almost insanely addicted to the
habit of taking arsenic to improve the
complexion OF the face. In a short
time the system gets SO accustomed to
this dangerous drug thnt I, delicate fe-
male can take enough q single dose
to kill half dozen sto : men. But a
continuation of these uoses for few
years is sure to result in premature

Enriching Soil With Clover,

A writer in the NeU England Home
stead advocates the use of clover as the
cheapest method of enriching farm
lands. He says: s
Competent authority has established
the fact that potash, phospholic acid
and nitrogen are indispensable ingre-
dients in the composition of fertile
soil. Now it is possible for our farm
ers to obtain an ample supply of these
constituents of fertility by the expendi-
ture of a trifing sum of money if we
are only so disposed. There is not the
slightest necessity Tor sending to Peru
for ammonia or to Germany for potash.
Seed the land plentiful with clover
seed. The long roots of the clover will
penetrate into the subsoil, loosen and
disintergrate it and assimilate and pre-
pare for the future growth of crops the
valuable mineral which we import from
Europe. 1t also deposits notable guam
titles of phosphoric acid, both in the
stalks and roots. We have paid and
are probably paying immense sums for
ammonia in some of it's combination to
lay upon our lands. There is no rival
to the clover plant in absorbing nitro
gen from the Observation-Disclosures
to and convertible into ammonia-and
depositing it in the soil ready for use
Professor Voelcker from careful analy-
sis estimates the amount from two to
two and one-half tons per acre.
Here then by the simple process of
sowing clover seed we set in motion the
laboratory of nature which liberates the
hitherto unavailable potash of the soil,
evolves by the mysteries of vegetable
growth that precious element phosphoric
acid, and garners from that inexhausti-
BILE resource, the atmosphere, immense
supplies of nitrogen. But this is not all.
1t furnishes the soil an abundance of
organic matter without which it would
be infertile and unproductive. Practi-
cal farmers who have long cultivated
clover in regular rotation estimate the
enriching power of a thick, dense sod as
equal to twenty or more two horse loads
of stable manure to the acre. This reno
vating crop can be repeated once in
three years if the necessities of the soil
require it. As dairying is an important
interest among our farmers, it can be
made valuable auxiliary in carving
on that branch of industry. Indeed, It
is really fact that we need not go
away from our own fields to find the
