Storing Butter.

BUTTER is an exceedingly sensitive
product, and, when it is to be stored
for two TO four months, great risk Of
loss is taken. The best butter is LA
BILE to be spoiled in few days by ex-
posure to bad air, or, it may be said,
by exposure 10 any air of a tempera-
ture above flfty-fiye degrees. The i'm
portant thing to do is to exclude the
air. If we had package that could
easily be sealed air-tight and then
placed in a storage-rOOm not above
sixty degrees, the finest butter might
be kept indefinitely without injury. It
is now well established that the air is
filed with germs capable of destruc-
tive development in any fit medium. If
butter were freed wholly from all case
inc and albumen, destructive fermenta-
tion could not occur; but we have no
process of butter making by which the
oil in milk can be separated in an ab-
solutely pure state. 1t is therefore
liable to rapid injury by contact with
air.
The Danes put up their butter which
is to be kept for an indefinite period in
air-tight tin packages of five to ten
pounds, and these again are packed in
wooden cases. But the objection to tin
is its liability to corrode; it would be
much more appropriate to put the but
ter into small, air-tight glass packages,
and pack these in safe wooden cases.
1t does seem as if this might be prac-
tically accomplished, and then no pOssi-
Bile harm could come from contact with
glass, The finest aroma and flavor of
butter ought to be preserved, in this
way, for years.
But at present the most practical way
Of excluding air from butter is to sus-
pend the sacks of butter in brine. BY
surrounding the butter with strong
brine the air is quite efectually ex-
cluded. This plan has been tried and
found, practically, to work well.
One way is to stop churning the but
ter when it comes in small granules of
the size of wheat kernel to that of a
pea, wash it, and then, without any
working, place it in large tubs or bar
rels, made so as TO hold brine; fill loose
ly with granulated butter, then saturate
the whole with strong brine, and head
| up tight. This has been found months
afterward to come out in the finest con-
| dition. Another way is to have straight
tubs, slightly flaring at the top, and the
butter, after being worked in the usual
way, packed in a muslin sack, made
two inches smaller than the tub. The
upper head has tight one and half
inch plug, the head is removed, the
sack of butter placed in the tub, the
head replaced and hoops tightly driven.
Now, strong brine is introduced
through the hole in the head, and the
tub completely filled, when the plug is
driven and the sack of butter is sus-
pended in the brine and the air ex-
cluded. Butter may thus be kept in
hotweather. National LiUe Stock Jour

The Tragic Ending Of a Long DOmes.
tic Quarrel.

ABRAM BILLS, of Parkinsville, Steu-
pen County, N. Y, married his cousin,
Catharine Bills, twenty-five years ago.
He was a well-to-do farmer. Seven
children were born to him. Then his
wife's mother came from Germany and
lived near them. Soon afterward trou-
BILE arose between Bills and his wife.
She charged him with ill-treating her.
She left him and prosecuted him for
assault. Nothing was proved against
Bills and he was acquitted. He and his
wife became reconciled and lived to-
gether again. Soon afterward Bills
barn and other outbuildings were de-
stroyed by fire. Mrs. Bills again left
her husband. Her mother made q
charge of assault against him. He was
acquitted. His wife then declared that
he had set fire to his own barn to get
the insurance. She had him indicted.
He was tried and honorably acquitted,
not particle of evidence being found
against him. Mrs. Bills then began
proceedings for limited divorce, to per.
NIT her to live apart from her husband,
but compelling HIM to support her. She
asked for the divorce on the ground of
brutal and inhuman treatment. She
could not establish her charge, and the
divorce was not granted. Bills, how
ever, was ruined by the costs of the per-
sstent litigation that his wife and her
mother carried on against him. he
took all of his children but one and en-
igrated TO Colorado TO escape the perse-
cutions of the wife and mother-in-law.
This was seven years ago. He kept his
whereabouts a secret. About a year
ago Mrs. Bills found out by accident
where he was living. She and her
mother removed to Colorado, and took
up their quarters near Bills farm. He
learned that they were near him, and
feared that they intended TO set his
children against him. He went to their
house. His wife was at dinner, with
her mother and the son who had re-
manned with her. Bills drew a revolver
and shot his wife dead. He then shot
himself. He lived long enough to write
letter TO his father, who lives in Steu-
ben County, giving the details of the
tragedy. He justified himself for his
act Bills begged his father, who is a
farmer In good circumstances, 10 leave
any money or property that might have
been his after his fathers death to his
four youngest children. Old Mr., Bills
will take measures at once to have the
children brought Esst,-M. Y. Sun.

WOULD inform Mr.. Bonner, who in
quires about it, that l have, for some
time past, kept accurate account of the
quantity of cream put into the churn
and the butter taken out, and / find
that one quart of pure cream, weighing
precisely two pounds, will make one
pound of butter, as near as can be
figured. This is the thick cream, which
is taken in an adherent, leathery skin
from shallow pan in which the milk
is three inches deep, and has been kept
until it is sour, but not thick. From
cream taken from a pail eighteen inches
deep, and which stood four inches deep
on the milk, but which was semi-fiuid,
three pounds of butter was given by
four quarts of the cream. This cream
was in good condition for chutning,
and needed no water to dilute it. 1t
was distinctly sour, having been skim
med from milk set thirty-six hours, and
was kept forty-eight hours before
churning. The churning was sixteen
quarts, which yielded twelve and one
half pounds; the temperature of the
cream was siXty-two degrees. and the
time of churning was eleven minutes.
The more solid cream was all from Jer-
sey milk, was in the same condition as
the other as to sourness; twelve quarts
we're put into the churn, and eleven
pounds and fourteen ounces of butter
came out; the cream was too thick to
churn without considerable water being
put in. The temperature Of this churn-
ing was siXty-fiYe degrees, and the time
eight minutes. There is no doubt that
sour cream viii make better favored
and more solid butter, and more of it,
than sweet cream; the butter will also
keep longer in good condition. Sweet
cream butter is excellent, and may be
exquisite, if very well made, for imme-
diate use, but it deteriorates very rap
idly, while sour milk butter improves by
keeping for several weeks, if we'll made
and well kept. But neither the milk
nor the cream should be permitted to
turn to "clabber,n as Mr. Bonner
terms it Cor. Colastry GeatlemGa.

THE DAIRY.

FfRu-CLAss BUTTER contains ten per
cent. Of wator and six per cent of salt
aud one-hali Of one per cent. Of cheesy
matter.
EvEEY dairyman should raise At least
one-eighth Of an acre Of corn-fodder for
each COW. 70 help the pasture through
the dry season.
WHEN Danish butter was first intro
duced into Great Britain it did not rank
as high In price as Cork butter, bat now
brings Eve cents per pound more than
the latter article. This is the result OF
education. In 1864 the Government Of
Denmark commenced a special system
Of education for the girls In dairying.
BE careful about letting your cattle
drink from bitches or from pools in
which they are accustomed 10 stand, or
in which their droppings are deposited.
II is not only liable 10 iniure the health
Of the stock. but IL IS also a fruitful
cause Of malarial and typhoid fevers
among those who use the milk from
cows thus watered. In the heated days
Of summer, pure. living water is the
first necessity for stock.
AN Englishman or a Hollander might
come over here, says the IoWG Stato
Register, and 20 into our best dairy dis
tricts. and by time and painstaking, pick
out score Of COWS and export them to
Europe, and astonish the natives there
by the wonderful record they would
make at the pail and the churn. We
have but very little doubt that a man
could collect together a herd Of choice
milking cows, natives Of hiscountry, and
raise up a dairy Of mixers that would
be equal TO any Of the imported breeds.
We know there are thousands Of grand
milk and butter COWS here in this coun-
try that are worth for all practical pur-
poses as much as the imported

How to Keep Lard.

WHEN the scraps are Just beginning
to get brittle and brown, put in table,
spoonful of fine salt to quart of the hot
lard, and there will be no trouble; the
lard will keep perfectly sweet for any
length of time, and the salt does no
possible harm to any kind of cookery.
A person can easily judge of the quant-
ty of lard if they know how much the
Kettle holds. 1t makes the lard whittier
and harder, aside from preserving it
sweet 1t must cook little while after
adding the salg. That designed for
summer use should be either Kept in a
tight earthen jar or tin bucket with a
cover. To restore lard that is a triAe
tainted, put the lard into an iron kettle,
and cut up salt pork in thin SLICES
about one-half pound of pork to gallon
of melted lard; add two spoonfuls of
salt, and let it cook till the pork is crisp;
take out the slices of, pork and turn the
lard into your jar, and you will never
know that it has not always been sweet.
But it is better to salt it in the first place,
as it saves much trouble and time.
When the lard gets scorched by fry
ing doughnuts, as it sometimes will (es-
pecially if the girls are doing it), it can
be made nice again by slicing raw po-
tato into thin slices, and dropping into
the kettle and frying till quite brown.
They absorb all the bitter taste, and
collect the dark speeks on their surface,
and make the lard fit for use again
Another way TO cleanse lard in the fry
ing-pan is Just before you set your kettle
away, to pour in some boiling hot water
and let it stand and cool. When you
wish TO use It again, take q knife and
run around the edge Of the lard; lift it
from the kettle, and lay it bottom side
up on a fiat plate; scrape off all the
brown coating for the soap grease turn
out the water and cleanse the kettle; if
any water stands in drops on the lard,
let it drain off, and your lard is pure
aud sweet. By attending to these little
items of economy, great saving is eff
fected in the course of year, and farm
ers' profits are mostly made-up of little
items. II is a common remark, if a
farmer fails in business, that :" his wife
is extravagant"- if all the blame
rested on her for his misfortunes. 1
think it is a mistake TO lay every thing
on the shoulders Of the wives, for there
are some men who have proved them
selves penny wise and pound foolish.
