Making Butter.

Churning, in order to produce good
butter, is a process which should be
carefully watched and should not be
deal of butter, either from ignorance or
unaccountable reasons, is churned to
death. AS soon as the butter is formed
into little grains, the churnng should
at once cease. Any further agitation is
positive injury, and results in putting
into the butter what the process of
churning is intended to get out of it.
The cream should be at a temperature
of from tifty-seven to sixty degrees
when it is put into the chIrn, and in
order that the temperature should be
accurately ascertained, no one who
makes butter should be without the
comparatively inexpensive necessary
adjunct to dairy, q thermometer 1t
is idle to expect success if we do not at
tend to details, and if the smallest de-
tail is neglected, results will be imper-
feet. If man i'll constructing wall
should fail to make it solid by using
little stones where they were required,
he would have very unsafe wall when
he got through. Little things have their
important place in this world as we'll as
larger things. The very first duty of a
dairyman is to learn to sacredly regard
the tritling details. The reason that
we have so much wretchedly poor but

are utterly regardless of the important
influence of few degrees in the tenn
perature of the cream or the neglect of
some other apparently small but really
important particular
AS to washing butter its utility is a
mooted question. but we wash it and
can see no ill effect from using pure
water upon butter. Washing is gener-
ally adopted by the majority of the
most intelligent and progressive butter
makers, although strenuously objected
to by some. 1t is one of these matters
which every one who has had expert
ence should have settled for himself

Making Cheese.

A Lincoln, Kau., correspondent
makes inquiry concerning cheese max
ing, and says that he follows the direc-
tions as laid down by certain writer's.
Much depends, in cheese making, as in
almost everything else, upon expert
ence, and our correspondent will grad
ually develop into competency as
cheese maker, and be able to overcome
ignorance, and which no one not upon
the ground can discern the specific
cause of. Two OF the most fertile
causes OF poor cheese are undoubtedly
too much or too little acidity. Ii the
milk is too acid the acidity in the vat
develops too rapidly, and large por-
tion of the cream is driven of during
manufacture, and one practical dairy
man says that the balance is very liable
to leak out during the process of curing,
leaving a dry, hard and unpalatable
cheese. But if there is too little acidity
in the milk either because of cold wealth
en- or not being held long enough in the
vat, the cheese will neither have texture
nor flavor.
So much, also, depends upon expert
ence in the use of the rennet, the i'm
proper use of which will affect the
cheese. making il crumbly or puffy,
that absolutely no directions can be
given to prevent such results. Ii rem
net of uniform quality are used. the
maker will soon be able to determine
the quantity sufficiently accurately to
insure an even result in product Our
correspondent says that he puts in
enough rennet to cause the curd to be
ready for cutting from forty TO sixty
minutes; then alter cutting it in cubes,

degrees. After cutting into blocks

Upper Rooms as Ovens.

In the construction of perhaps nine
out of ten of frame houses, and often
times of brick, no adequate provision,
if any, is made for ventilaLing the
space between the upper ceiling and
the roof. How frequently at night the
remark is made: "The lower rooms
are getting quite com fortable, hut the
upper rooms are like an oven." 1.-The
roof gets so heated up during the
day." Seldom is the real cause of the
oppressive heat that prevails till late
in the night. or till well on toward
morning, either understood or thought
of. 1t is true the roof gets hot during
layer of strips and shingles. and would
trouble is there is body of confined
air under the root that gets very hot,
and as there is no outlet for its escape
and replacement it must remain hot
until cooled by the slow process of ra-
diation through The surrounding walls.
Now, the roof being usually of wood
is not so good conductor as the plas-
tered walls of the ceiling, hence the
heat must pass out principally from be-
low through the rooms of the house.
That accounts for the fact that when
one goes to an upper room in the even
ing there comes such sense of stitiing,
and the sweat starts from the forehead.
1t is an oven you are in; all that is lack
ing to make it complete is the hot air
chamber below as well rs above. The
builder who constructs house with
such nicely adjusted conditions for the
radiation of stored up heat, might most
properly be called Macbeth. for he has
certainly murdered sleep" When
the writer was boy it was his good
fortune to sleep in the chamber OF a
house unfinished above. There was
nothing but the roof over him and the
room became cool not long after tie
cooling of the outs de air. 1t was a
good place to sleep winter or summer
Only those who have slept just under
the shingles can realize what it is to
''listen to the patter of the rain upon
the roof" Very often in steep-roofed
and low-eaved houses "a part of the
room along by the caves above is walled
out, leaving space for confined air on
two sides as we'll as above. The sides,
too, are connected with the spaces be-
tween weather boarding and walls,
reaching to the sills. 1t will readily
appear. therefore, what an advantage
would be gained both In preventing
and reducing excessive heat by having
free circulation of air through these
spaces. The provisions sometime:
made for this ventilation are INSULT
C ent. A few open Stats under the roo
in the gable are better than nothing,
but there is no good reason why there
should not be at least two good large
openings. An arrangement could easi
ly be made so that shutters should bt
under control from below by means O
cord or wire, remaining open day anG
night during hot weather, except wher
storms might threaten. They might bt
made to assist greatly in cooling ant
ventilating the whole house. DR.. Ne0

A Revolution in Cooking and Heating.


Will wonders never cease? Mankind
has used boiling water for cooking pur-
poses since long before the invention OF
letters, yet during these countless ages
the race never knew the possibilities of
hot water. An inventor named Prall
has found out that. by superheating
water, that is, by raising it to a temper
ature of four hundred degrees to four
hundred and twenty-five degrees Fab
renheit, that it can be used for cooking
and heating with greater advantage
than any other kind of heat. BY the
new system dinners can be cooked in q
room where there is no perceptible heat
from the apparatus. In several res.
taurants of New York meats and poul-
try are roasted, broled, stewed and
boiled from heat given out by the super
heated water on the Prall system, and
this with perfection and economy un-
known to any other species OF cooking.
The Common Council of New York
have granted permit to allow the
company who own the patent to intro
duce this superheated water into
houses. Next fall a square mile will be
taken up, and the water will be sup
piled from a central building to the
private houses that need it. But note
the changes it will bring about. No
fires will be needed, for the house will
be warmed by hot water. There will
be a range, but the heat will be supplied
through II coil OF pipes. Chimneys will
not be used; there viii be no SCOT, and
no danger from catching fire. The
house of the future, with electric lights
at night, will not need insurance. for
there will be no way in which it can
catch fire except from outside. This
Prall system Of heating and cooking is
not an experiment. 1t has been tested,
and fulills all the requirements. II
will be particularly valuable to hotels
and large apartment houses; but it will
be an economy aud comfort as we'll in
the tenement house, for there will be nc
need OF coal-bins or the dragging up ol
scuttles of coal to the upper stories
The business of the ash.cart man will
be gone. How surprisingly stupic
mankind has been not to discover the
possibilities of hot water before the
year 188l!-D Denloresrs Monthly. ,i..

the bulk of them being pension bills. These,
with good sprinkliug of relief bills and a lev
propositions To remove political disabilities,
form what Is known as the private calendar
With the exception OF The bin reported ad

lands Of the government, IS the grave OF over
100 bills OF more or less public interest. At
the head of this calendar stands 4 measure
which in its day was the cause Of much polIt-
ical wranglng; but WHICH IS now almost en-
tirely fOrgOtten-that regulating the removal
Of causes from State to federal courts. Among

a bill which for many days occupied the time
Of the House-that reported on the 18th Of
June, 1879 prohibiting political assessments.
Then come the following bills For relief of

to surrogate the Clayton Bulwer treaty; to in
corporate the Maritime Canal Company of
Nicaragua; authorizing the establishment of
