Sweet and Sour Cream Butter.

The question as to which yields best
butter, sweet or sour cream, is one to
which have given very much attention,
and it seems to me that in this, as in
most other cases, the old Latin proverb,
.' In medic tutissinuS i6iS'-safely lies
in a middle course-is appropriate. That
the aroma of butter, which goes very
far to establish its selling value among
the best class of customers, is due to a
certain amount of decomposition of some
of the elements of the milk, / think is
established beyond controversy. That
this decomposition is progressive, act
ing upon one of these elements after
another, l think is also well established.
But Just when to arrest it to secure the
best results is the nice question which is
not so well settled. Ii the caseine of
the milk were all removed / think the
development of the Tactic acid might
be suffered to go on quite fully without
any injurious or detrimental results. 1t
is manifestly its action upon the caseine
which is to be avoided and guarded
against So far as / can learn by most
diligent inquiry, all of the sweet cream
buffers having keeping qualities are
made by process admirably calculated
to develop the acidity to a very consid-
erable extent. They are churned slow
ly; the butter granules are then separa-
ted from the milk by the use of sieves
mo water or brine being allowed to
come in contact with the butter at all
and the whole, after manipulation, ex-
poses it in small quantities to the oxy-
genizing influence very fully. The con-
clusion which have reached as the re-
suit of thorough investigation of the
subject, is that the sweet cream process
is only adapted to small establishments,
where the most scrupulous care and the
most unremitting effort may be secured,
and that on the other hand the souring
should not be permitted to go beyond
the first stages before the cream is
churned. do not believe that sweet
cream butter-making will ever be pop
ular or profitable in this country, but
do believe that the nearer we can get
to it without actually adopting it the
better will be the results.-O. S. Bliss,
Secretary Vermont Dairymet'S Associa-
ton.

Sophie PerOWskaia.

NJ. Rochefort in his journal writes OF
Sophie Perowskaia, the hanged Nihilist:
s.She was a woman of the highest
endowments and accomplishments, who
at the age of sixteen devoted herself to
the propaganda of socialist doctrines.
For twelve years she never shrunk from
any sacrifice, showed lack of courage
or want of presence of mind. She cast
aside honor, wealth, ease, and sub
mitted to the coarsest drudgery. She
walked along the whole course OF the
Volga, her energy triumphing over
cold, tempests, hunger and malady.
She felt her mission was to arouse the
peasant from torpor, and to this end
worked as a harvest woman in hay and
wheat fields, sometimes dressed as o
man, She lived in miserable lodging
houses and entered into workshops
seeking for employment. She was
forced into violence by persecution.
Three years ago, after twenty-four
months detention, she was condemned
to transportation to the extreme north,
and her sentence was executed in mid
winter. She contrived to drug the tea
of her guards and escaped. She work
ed her way back to st. Petersburg in a
peasants dress and then to Mascow,
where she joined in the railway mine
conspiracy. The people with whom
she lodged never suspected her of being
lady, she went so bravely through
toilsome drudgery. She had also lived
so much with poor people as to be able
to enter into all their ideas"

Corn as a Sheep Food.

The value of Indian corn as a staple
winter food for sheep has been more
than once emphasized in these columns.
Personal experiment and the testimony
of hundreds of practical tiock-owners,
constantly accommodating, confirm the
accuracy of these earlier convictions.
The fact that flock of sheep can be
carried through an average winter with
no other food than that furnished by
the corn field has been too often and
too successfully demonstrated to admit
of doubt. This, of course, contemplates
that the blades are utilized by being
secured before the autumnal frosts have
robbed them of their nutritive value.
To this end the most economical course
is the common one of cutting the stalks
in early fall and leaving them in
"shocks" in the field, to be hauled out
as required during the feeding season.
The experiences of such winter as
the one just past are worth more than
all the theories that have ever been
enunciated. The facts are, that the
fiocks consuming the largest quantity
of corn within the last five months are
now in the best pay ing condition To
this may be added the testimony OF
many owners that, though not habisu-
ally feeding corn, they are satisfied
that to its liberal use during the past
rigorous winter they are indebted for
much of the present satisfactory condi-
ton of their sheep, and. in some in
stances, for their very existence. e.-Nd-

Limburg Cheese.

The Boonville N. Y, Herald gives
an account of the manner in which the
adoriferous Limburg is made at facto-
ries in its neighborhood: The milk is
delivered at the factory and strained
into watts as for other cheese. 1t is then
raised to a temperature of ninety-six
degrees Fahrenheit, when enough rem
net is added to coagulate the mass in
about thirty minutes. The curd is then
cut crosswise and lengthwise of the vat
with a gang of steel curd knives. Soon
after it is turned with tin shovels fire.
quently for an hour, when it is left for
the whey to settle and if the curd is OF
proper consistency about two-thirds of
the whey is removed. The curd is now
ready for the molds into which it is
dipped, the whey remaining escaping
through the perforated sides of the
molds. After the curd has hardened
to proper degree it is placed upon a
table slightly inclined and the whey
drains off, care being taken that the
cheese retains the form of the molds.
Then they are turned several times and
finally are ready to receive the salt,
which is rubbed in by hand, morning
and evening for four days. thus gradu-
ally hardening until they can be taken
to the curing room where the bricks of
cheese are set on edge close together.
After being properly cured they are
then packed for market.
But prices of this cheese are also
lluctuating and the maker or dealer
frequently needs to store his cheese in
a room of uniform temperature to pre-
serve it fresh and prevent it from be-
coming over-ripe. For this purpose
large and deep vaults and cellars are
built where the air is neither too hot
nor too cold-and the cheese will keep
well summer or winter. There is a
market for Limburg wherever there is
a German population, hence it goes to
New York, to st. Louis. Louisville and
other cities of the south and west. 1t
is made with less expense than Ameri-
can cheese, its price is less huctuating
and hence the milk of our dairymen is
bought largely by dealers and made up
by their employees.

How Justice Is Administered in Tunis.


A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle writes:
One of the most curious and interest
ing features of Tunis is the Judiciary
Court that is held b. the Bey. generally
at the Bardo Palace, every Saturday.
The forms are as simple and as primi-
tive as those in use during the era OF
the Caliphs, every subject having the
privilege to address his sovereign on
such occasions. But, nevertheless, the
justice of the Bey is administered with
all the pomp and magnificence of an
Eastern potentate. On such occasions
the Bey is preceded to the palace door
and to the court of audience by mis-
heralds, followed by his Ministers and
the members of his family. all clad in
rich costumes, and who stand on each
side of the Bey as ne ascend5 the two
steps that lead TO the throne, and, after
having made a slight bow to the assem-
bly,, he seats himself under the magniti-
cent golden sun that serves as dais to
the throne. The elect of the Prophet,
the Mouchir Mohammed-es-Sadok,
Bey of Tunis, is = man OF i'm
posing presence, with fine features
and small, black, piercing eyes
that glisten as brightly as the countless

he holds to his lips, while he caresses
his long, silky beard with the other
hand, listening, in grave. unimpas-
stoned manner. to the complaints that
are brought before him. The further
end of the judicial hall is filed with all
the types of people familiar to these
Oriental cities, all being allowed free
ingress to the Bey's presence. Litigious
questions of the most complex charac-
ter are decided in a few moments, with
a few words, and sometimes bya simple
gesture. One of these, the cleaving of
the air by an outstretched hand, is of
grave significance, being simply a man.
date for decapitation. AS the execu-
toner is always at hand the sentence is
carried out immediately-a fact greatly
conducive to public morality. But un-
der the present regime such cases are
rare, as Mohammed-es-S Sadok is GER
tainly the most lenient and civilized
Bey who has ruled over Tunis since
many a century. His chief faults are
irresolution of character and constant
dread of the advance of civilization,
especially under the protection of the
French standards.

THE DAIRY.

Those who have the care of COWS
should bear in mind that a COW cannot
make cud when fed on shorts or meal
alone. These must be mixed with
longer feed, either in the manger or in
the animals stomach. 1t is not neces-
sary to mix these substances before
feeding, as the motion of the stomach
will mix them sufficiently 10 form
cud.
1t is believed, by those who have
given the subject special attention, that
if our domestic makers of cheese had
learned to make greater variety of
cheeses, nearly all that could be man.
ufactured would be consumed at home.
Our annual butter product is yariously
estimated at from 1000, 900. 900 to
!, 400, 600, 900 pounds, nearly the whole
of which finds home market. The
same might be true of the cheeses. The
moral is plain.
The best practicable method of set
ting milk for cream in dairy where ice
cannot be procured, and where the
spring is not very cold, is in deep
cellar. If the pans are set in well
water, the water would need to be
changed; because the warm milk would
raise the temperature of the water sew
eral degrees. Shallow pans would have
to be used, because the low tempera-
ture required for. the deep pals could
not be procured without ice.
The exports of cheese from New
York for the year ending May 1 were a
little over 135, 900. 900 pounds, of which
1000, 900 pounds went to Liverpool,
10000, 900 pounds to Glasgow. IA, ,000,-
900 pounds to London and S,000, 900
pounds to Bristol, England. The re-
mainder was scattered in small lots all
over the world. Exports of butter from
the same ports were nearly 80, 1000, 900
pounds, Liverpool and Glasgow taking
considerable more than half.
q -Teat Leaking account of some
deformity or abnormal condition of one
! or more of the teats, the power or ability
to retain the milk within the udder
may become lost. To prevent the con-
sequent loss of milk the following ex-
pedient may be adopted, with a chance
| of success: Place a soft India-rubber
band around the leaking teat, at its
base; and in order to prevent the band
| from inserting itself too deeply into the
teat, and to facilitate its easy removal
at the time of milking, wrap around the
upper part of the teat layer of linen
or thin, soft leather, upon which place
the rubber band. At milking time, the
lower part of the wrapping may be easily
taken hold of, and the removal of the
| band thus facilitated. d.-NGtiondl LiUt
