Practical Butter Making.

The great progress and improvement,
that has been developed through the fac,
tory system may be largely applied tc
the farm dairying. Mr.. l. II. Wanzer
of Oneida, Illinois, the pioneer of the u.s.
sociated dairying in the west, i'll paper
read before the N. w. Dairymen's asso'
citation, gives the following:
First, we must have clean milk; with
out this good butter cannot be made
Butter made from filthy milk may pass
when fresh from the churn, but as the
seeds of destruction are sown in the pro,
cess of milking, the butter soon loses it,
fresh taste, and is classed as a poor M.
ticle.
In order to obtain the best results, the
milk should be cooled within one hOul
after milking down to 65 degrees, and il
another hour it should he brought down
to GO degrees, and there kept during the
cream raising. If the milk il held Il
this temperature while the cream liz ris
ing, then the cream, when taken off, il
Just where We want it in temperature,
and Mt this point il should be kept until
it has taken acid enough to be churned.
Avoid all transitions from hot to cold,

the temperature above mentioned, the
butter is firm enough to be worked with
ont bringing ice in contact. The prac-
tice of cooling cream by the introduce
of ice is, in our opinion, bad one; also
the practice of warming cream bysettine

causing flat, insipid taste to the butter.
The habit of some of setting their cream
around the stove should be condemned;
the heat is not easily egualiZed unless
the cream is constantly stirred, and, to
add to this, it is continually taking up
foul Odors.
The water used to wash butter must
not be taken from we'll that il in any
way tainted or smells bad.
We use one and One-eight ounces OF
salt to one pound of butter. 1t is of the
greatest importance that we use good
salt. Fine salt dissolves quickly and
leaves no gritty taste. Our butter stands
twenty hours after being sailed, when il
is reworked and packed for the market.
If it stands longer it becomes set, and
after working has the appearance of re-
worked butter. As to package We can
not always suit ourselves, as different
markets want different packages.
Absolute cleanliness in every depart
ment il necessary.

Autumn Seeding Ia Grass.

1t is the general custom to seed to
grass after some grain crops, as wheat,
oats or barley; but when it desired to get
field into grass in the quickest possible
time, this practice need not be followed,
saysthe american AgricuttHrisf. Grass
and clover seed may be sown this month
with the probability of success. This is
not without its risk; dry spell may pre-
vent the seed from terminating until the
season OF growth is pretty well passed,
when only poor "catch" will be OBJ
tanned. A shelter to the young grass
and clover plants that will protect them
from the hot sun, and ut the same time
prevent the soil from becoming too dry,
is very desirable. For this purpose no
crop is better adapted than white tur-
nips, which grow quickly, and with their
broad leaves make q protection to the
grass seed and young plants, and shade
for the soil. For the good OF the grass
it il not best to have the turnips grow
very large, otherwise there may be dam
ger from smothering; but fair yield of
turnips may be secured with no danger
to the grass. The turnips should be
pulled early, at which time the clover
will be well started, and will soon thick
Ell up and cover the ground before win
ter sets in.

horse, when being broke, that he does

we get hold of such an animal, to tic
him around the neck with three-fourths
inch rope, and always tie to post strong
enough to hold him. A few pulls will
satisfy him, but it will not do to forget
your rope for some time. We presume
there are better methods by which the
horse is made to punish himself when he
pulls. We have heard of many such
remedies, and have seen some of them
tried. Any of them will do if sufficient
care is used, but by little carelessness
one may do more injury than benefit.

HEAVY FAILURE.

r.. NEW Yonn, Doc. 0.-The Post, of
this morning, says the statement of
the financial condition of the sus-
pended firm of B. G.. Arnold & Co.,
is now in course of preparation, and
will probably be completed within
ten days. -
tits now understood that the liza
bilities will reach a total of not far
from $23, 100000, and il is said that
the assets have a value of about
$230,000, although a considerable
part of these are not readily conver-
tible into cash, outstanding, single
named, paper of the firm.
We are told it amounts
to from 100000 to S80O,O0O.
This of course is unsecured, and it
is distributed in small lots among
paper buyers, including banks here
and in New England. The re-
mainder of the firms obligations are
said to be specifically secured. Mr..
Arnold is director in the Bank OF
New York. That institution holds
only $4,000 of his paper and is
amply secured for the remainder OF
his obligations. Great sympathy is
expressed for Mr.. Arnold, whose mis-
fortunes have oYertaken him at an
advanced age,

the electoral certificate of any state
was forged certificate. Who would
have the power to pass on the ques-
ton of forgery?
Mr.. Robson replied that in his
opinion neither the vice president
nor the two houses had any inherent
authority or authority given by the
constitution to pronounce judiciaIy
on the question.
Mr.. Hunton said the point he wish
ed to make was whether the power to
count did not carry with it the pow
er to determine what was to be
counted. Suppose the gentleman
were sent to count flock of sheep
and some goats had gotten mixed up
in it, would he count the goats? In his
(Hunton's) opinion whoever counted
the electoral vote must act judi
ciously. -.
Mr.. Robson continued to deny
that congress had any power what
ever in the matter, and said if the
power to throw out fraudulent or
forged certificates rested anywhere
it rested with the vice president, of
the senate. All congress was au-
thorized by the constitution to do
was to be present when the vice
president, of the senate, as a minis
terial officer, performed his functions
Mr.. Robson then gave notice that
he would offer a substitute for the
pending concurrent resolution.
Mr.. Reagan (Texas) gave notice
that as soon as the pending question
was disposed of he would ask for the
consideration of the interstate com
merce bill.

While talking with them they
pushed him into dark hallway and
locking the door told him he must
pay them five dollars or they would
murder him. He gave them the
money, being frightened, when they
demanded all the money he had
forty dollars, which he gave them
They then attempted to run away
when he raised an alarm which
brought the police and they were
arrested. Wilkinson was locked UP

TEXAS NEWS.

GALVESTON, Dec. s.-Right Rev.
Father Chambodat, late vicar gen
eral of Galveston diocese, died, at
st. Mary's infirmary, at 2:30 p. m.
yesterday, of pneumonia. He had
been in delicate health for months.
Father Chambodat was parish priest
of Vacgdoches in the days of the
republic of Texas. He moved to
Galveston in 1848 and was made
vicar general of this diocese by
Bishop Oden in 1850, which position
he filed until he was relieved, eight
months since, at his own request.
He was universally beloved and his
death is deeply deplored.
A special from Brownwood to the
News says the east bound stage was
robbed three miles east of this place,
at s o'clock last night. The two
robbers, after relieving the passen-
gers of $165, cut open themail bags,
extracting the registered letters,
from which they obtained about
$3.50.

He contended that no epidemic dis
ease prevails among the native Texas

sion taken part in by DR.. Rowe, of

DR.. Austin, of New Orleans, said he
was willing to admit the good work
of the sanitary association of New
