Butter for Long Keeping,

DIR. j. lIigbe refers to a paragraph
in the N. \. Tribune about "granu-
lated butter, in barrels of brine,
reaching London from America, said
to he fresh and NICE" and he requests
full particulars as TO process of max
ing, packing and shipment. The
mode of gaanulating butter is to
churn the cream in the usual way
till just before it is ready TO gather
till the butter will separate from the
buttermilk, and rise to the top like
cream, which it will always do be-
fore gathering. AT this stage the
contents Of the churn are cooled down
to 560 or $40 by introducing cold
water or brine, and the work finished
by churning slowly. The butter will
then form two fine pellets or gran
ules, instead of into one solid lump
or a few large Jumps. Tue butter
thus granulated is separated from
the buttermilk in any convenient
way, and washed either in cold water
or brine till the water will run off
clear two washings are generally
enough. A tight cask of the size de-
sired, and suitable for holding butter,
is prepared beforehand, and filed
partly full of brine as strong as it
can be made from pure salt. Into
this the butter is put as soon as
washed without any working or salt
ing. If enough is not made in one
churning, the butter must be kept
down under the brine till the cask is
filed, and then headed up tight.
Through hole in the head any lit
tie vacancy that may exist must
be filled perfectly with brine, and the
hole plugged. 1t Is then ready for
transportation or long keeping. When
wanted for use it may be taken from
the cask and pressed into any solid
form desired, and the brine adhering
to it will season it about as most
people desire It. IL wanted fresh it
may be washed in cold water, when
it will be as fresh and rosy as when
it came out of the churn. The salt
for the brine must be of the purest
kind, or the butter will be blcached
by lying In It.

Raising Glover Seed.

j. G. Birdscll, Of "CIoyer Huller"
fame, says in the Coper Leaf:
My observation in regard TO clover
ana clover seed raising has been greater
than that OF many, on account OF hav.
ing followed threshing from my youth,
prior to my invention, and many sea.
sons have run four machines. / have
always noticed that whenever we found
a job where there was large yield, that
il was where seed had been sown one
bushel TO five or six acres, mown the
last days Of June, and plastered after
the first crop had been taken off. |
have seen field when onehah had
been mown and got off before July lst,
and the balance OF the field not till two
weeks later, and the seed that was
started first yielded 81 bushels per acre,
and the balance J bushels per acre, the
difference bushels. This, you see, was
quite loss TO the raiser, and the hay
first mown equally as good as that
which was mown last. ] have raised
seed myself that went ~ TO the acre.
have also taken clover from the field
in three different conditions, and laid
away in the dry, for the purpose Of
knowing when was the best time TO cut
seed clover. The first state was then
dead ripe second, when handsomely
brown and third, still greener, and.
when thoroughly dry, rubbed out the
seed and put the three piles on a plate.
and could see no difference. That
which was cut the greenest was just as
plump seed as that which was dead
ripe. This shows that the head receives
enough sustenance from the stalk after
it is cut TO fully mature the seed, and,
when cut little greener, you can save
alwost every seed. Always turn when
the dew is on, so that the bolls will not
rattle Off

and with the greatest ease and sim
plicity. During the fruit season,
which is soon to open, it would find
almost daily use in almost every

these we applied the chemical manure,

naming four without any of any

Oultivating Corn.
Prom the Farm Journal.

Prom the Farm Journal
The object sought in cultivating
corn is first TO pulverize the soil, in
order to render it tpermeable to roots,
and TO hold moisture second, to de-
stroy weeds; third, to check the
vegetable tendency of the plant, and
TO turn its redundant plant food to-
wards storage into crop. The rule
for practice is to cultivate thoroughly,
all seasons, but more deeply during
wet than dry one and to keep it
up during most of the time proceed
ing the bloom but TO not stir the soil
after the formation of the pollinated
kernel. Cutting off the roots in late
culture has been found TO do less in
jury than some people think, because
new feeding roots are formed in far
greater numbers, and the crop there
by increased. Judicious root prun-
ing which frequent and thorough cul-
tivation gives, especially in a wet
season and in good land, is a mat
ter now recognized by many of our
best farmers to be one Of great inn
portance.

The Cabbage Flea.
From American Agricultural for jane /.

FROM American Agricultural for Jane J.
III. G.," Simmons, Mich. This is
often very destructive in the seed
bed, and where it is known to abound,
it is best TO anticipate their coming,
and just so soon as the yonng~plants
appear-when they first break through
the soil, give them dressing Of air
Stacked lime, or a mixture of ashes
and plaster. Equal parts of unleach-
ed ashes, sifted to remove bits of
coal, and land plaster, thoroughly
mixed together, and kept in dry
place, is not onl y useful 10 keep off
small insects, but in its application
the soil is benefited. Market Gar
deners, near New York, use she'll
lime for this purpose; it is exposed
TO the air until slaked, and then kept
closely covered; where shell-lime can
not be had, ordinary or stone-lime
will answer; the other is only prefer
able because it makes finer powder.
Either Of these sisted over the young
plants so as to cover them with the
dust, is the most effective remedy
thus far found for the little beetle,
which, from its ability to jump, is
popularly known as "fea." Where
but few cabbage plants are requir-
ad, they may be raised in boxes ele-
vated 5 or 6 feet above the ground;
this distance being too great for the
leaping powers of the insect.

1t has now become quite common
to fastcn tomato plants in an erect
attitude to trellises and stakes: we
have seen them carried up to height
OF eight and ten feet, in strong ground.
This method, it is true, keeps the
fruit away from the dirt and looks
nice, but it is expensive and attended
with much labor nor is it treating
the plant as 1t wants to be treated.
The tomato, after all, is q trailing
plant, and if one wants to lengthen
the season of fruitage, by all means,
let them run over the ground as much
as they will. Any one. who has ex-
amined a tomato vine has seen, at
the joints, protuberances evidently
made for drawing moisture out OF
the earth rs they lie on the ground.
BY adopting an artificial method we
get certain advantages, but at the
sacrifice of certan others. Those who
grow tomatoes for market extensively
let the vines sprawl at their own sweet
will.

AT the request of Messrs. II. j.
Baker Il Bro, of New York, to whose
circular we alluded in our issue of
April 8, we are making test expert
ments with their special manures
for tobacco and potatoes. Messrs.
Baker & Bro. have sent us certain
quantities of each, with instructions
TO apply the tobacco fertilizer to one
acre Of our tobacco crop, and that
for potatoes to one-fourth of an acre.
In the case of the tobacco we have
already applied good barnyard ma
nure ut the rate of fifteen tons per
acre, and have selected two one
acre lots in different parts of the
field, and cultivated by different men,
to one-half of each We will apply the
chemical manure, according to in-
structions, in addition to the barn
yard manure. In ell other particu-
lars, these and the adjoining half acres
will be treated precisely alike, and
results carefully noted. For the po-
tato test we measured off half acre
from one end Of the corn field, on
which a good sod had been turned
down last fall, but to which no ma
nure was applied, the ground being
