Henry stuart, In Rural New Yorker.
This was the first churning Of six
days milk. The cream-l2 quarts
exactly-was turned into the rectan-
gular churn aforesaid, and the churn
and cream were both at temperature
of So degrees. After churning for
eight minutes precisely, making 10
revolutions of the churn per minute,
| was surprised to hear the "slap.
dash" of the buttermilk, and was
more than surprised on opening the
churn TO see SO magnificent a sample
of butter. The mass of golden but.
ter was in small grains from the size
of sago grains up to that of buckshot,
lying in an irregular mass piled up
in the churn with small quantity of
buttermilk at the bottom. The but
ter weighed l0k pounds. The result,
l0i pounds of butter from IL quarts
of thick cream, churned in eight
minutes, at temperature of 65 de-
grees, settled some points about
which questions are frequently asked.
This churning out of the way, the
cream of two Ayrshire cows three
ycars-old that have been milking 10
months and are three in calf-l4
quarts in all--was put in the churn
at temperature of 60 degrees. This
| churned three hours patiently with.
out breaking the cream, and was
advised TO throw the cream out as IL
was one Of those messes which would
never churn. Let us try some warm
water. 4 quart of hot water from
the kettle was thrown in, the churn
rotated, and in one minute the butter
came; the temperature in the churn
then was 60 degrees. This also goes
some way to settle another difficulty
in winter dairying, which causes q
great deal of trouble.
If butter comes at 64 or 65 degrees
In short time and fails tn come at
all at go degrees, this Is n valuable
fact TO know. Another churning OF
Maida's cream of Is quarts from
seven days milk produces IA pounds
Of butter in l2 minutes at tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, with several stop
pages to watch the progress; so that
eight quarts of nearly pure cream
will make seven pounds of butter.

Seed Test.

The DEMOCRAT has not failed to
urge upon its readers, in season and
out of season, the Importance of
sowing none but pure, ripe, sound
seed Of all kinds. We are convinced,
however, that far too little attention
is paid to this matter, and that seeds
having characteristics quite the re-
verse of these are sown in the great
majority of cases. Sometimes this
is the result of carelessness; in other
cases it is because good seed cannot
be obtained but more frequently,
perhaps, than either of these it is
because of the inability of the farmer
to readily detect foreign or unripe
seed. TO remedy this last, Secretary
Edge, of the State Board of Agri.
culture, proposes test of grass
seeds, the particulars of which we
present below:
The Secretary requests that all
interested, whether as consumers,
producers or dealers, furnish him by
mail with small samples, not exceed
ing one or two ounces In weight. 1t
is proposed that each sample shall be
critically examined with a nagnifying
glass and the sample divided into the
following classes: Good or perfect
seed, immature or unripe seed, true 10
the sample, seeds foreign to the sam
pie, weed seeds and chaff and other
Impurities. Samples should be plain
ly directed to "Secretary Pennsyl-
vania Board Of Agriculture, Harris.
burg" and should bear the name OF
the party forwarding. A postal card /,
mailed at the same time as the sam
pie, will convey the necessary infor-
nation.

PRoT. ARNOLD says the quality OF
milk varies with the quality and sup.
ply of food. II it is very succulent
the water increases in the milk; but
the increase of water cannot go be-
yond certain limit, and 9O.5 water
with 9.5 solids is the extreme limit he
has ever met with through succulence
and moisture In the fovl. On the
other hand, by the use of food rich in
the elements of milk, and other cir
cumstances favorable, the extreme
limit in the opposite direction has
been SIS solids. The former occur
red in June, with q feed of grass and
brewers grains; the latter in the
fall, with after feed and meal.

Sorghum Sugar.
. 'om the Tribune.

F'om the Tribune.
Professor James Hyatt's estimate
OF sorghum sugar-and a sensible
view of the farmers best policy-is
given in a private letter from which
We take the liberty of excerpting
what follows. The sample examined
was from the Department of Agri-
culture: "Under the microscope the
sugar makes very fine appearance,
especially in regard to the perfection
of the crystalline grains and freedom
of foreign matter, except as TO that
which gives the amber tint. II is
quite evident that if sugar of this
quality can be SO cheaply produced
as has been maintained, foreign su.
gars will have TO give way. | must
say that heretofore have had an un-
favorable impression as to the pro-
duction of sugar in Northern lati-
tudes, but it is so much in accord
ance with a favorite idea of mine
that a farmer should so far as he can
try to raise on his own land what
ever his family will consume, that
shall look hopefully to sorghum SUI.
gar, If the recent claims in its favor
are not extravagant.n

on Sunday the 22d inst, at the age of
seventy-eight. Mr.. Landreth's bust
ness relations rs seed grower and
merchant were very extensive, and
his name was familiar throughout
the agricultural world. Perhaps no
establishment has done more TO dis
semiuate reliable farm and garden
seeds throughout this country than
that of which Mr.. Landreth has for
so long a time been the head, and in
the direction of which he succeeded
his father, who was its founder. Mr..
Landreth devoted his long and busy
life almost entirely to the interests of
agriculture and horticulture, and
while actively engaged in the practi-
cal work connected Herewith, found
time to contribute literally to their
literature. He has latterly resided
at the Bloomsdale seed farm, leav-
ing the city business in charge of
his sons, one of whom, capt. Bur.
nett Landreth, will be pleasantly re-
membered by all who came in con-
tact with him, as chiefof the Bureau
of Agriculture at the great Centen-
nial exhibition.
