How to Tell Good Butter.


The Illinois State Superintendent of
inspectors of butter and cheese says !;
When butter is properly churned, both
as to time and temperature it becomes
firm with very little working, and is
tenacious; but its most desirale state is
that of waxy, when it is easily moulded
into any shape, and may be drawn out
considerable length without breaking.
1t is then styled gilt. edged. 1t is only
in this state that butter possesses that
rich, nutty flavor and smell; and shows
up a rich golden yellow color, (which
imparts so high degree of pleasure in
eating it, and which increases its value
manifold. 1t is not always necessary
when it smells fresh and sweet to taste
butter in judging it. The smooth, unc-
tious feel in rubbing little between the
finger and the thumb expresses at once
its rich quality, the nutty smell and rich
aroma indicate similar taste; and the
rich golden glistening cream colored sur
face shows its high state of cleanliness.
1t may be necessary at times to use the
trier, or even use it until you become an
expert in testing by taste, smell and
rubbing.

Dry Earth as an Absorbent.

If one will observe when the cows
choose to lie down in the yard or pasture
1t will be seen that they choose the bare
ground, rather than the sod or bedding
of straw. The same is true of sheep.
We have taken this hint, and furnished
the cow stables with dry earth bedding.
Leaves and straw are poor absorbents in
comparison. In the pig pens dry earth
has no equal. In very cold weather we
add straw or leaves, but until the wealth
er is very cold the animals will be more
comfortable with bed of soil, or of soil
changed once fortnight or week. In
the chicken house we have learned its
real value as a deodorizer. Our roosts
are over sloping floor, on which we
occasionally scatter dry earth. The
earth. This turned with shovel each
week or oftener, and we can say the
chicken house is free from offensive
odors, and bright combs and glossy
feathers tell of the health of fowls. Dry
earth is a good preventative, too, of ver-
min ON cattle, pigs, ana poultry 1t
must be procured at dry time; and
stored under sheds or in stables. 1t not
only promotes neatness and health, but
saves the very elements of the manure
which make them most valuable and
most of which would evaporate if not
absorbed by the day earth. We do not
like 1t as bedding in the horse stables,
but it should be found in every stable, to
sprinkle the floors with as soon as the
bedding is removed in the morning.
When removed from the stables, styes
and coops it should be kept under cover
for spring use, or for drilling with the

matches be allowed to ''le around loose"
on Mantlepiece or shelf. What are
known as parlor matches light readily,
and are as much more dangerous than
the common matches as they are more
convenient. The general stock should
be kept in tin box, which is not to be

each room where matches are used there
should be metal match safe of some
