The best process of making swce
butter, or more properly, sweet cream

the cream, whether in dairy or cream

tanned by the cold process, and tn
milk should be set as soon after il i
drawn asposSible, and promptly cooled
The use of covered vessels should b.
avoided. If the vessels containing th,
milk are surrounded by cold water o
cold air there is no possible advantage
in their being covered, while the quail

means. Not only is the quality Of but
ter improved by exposing the milk ant
cream to the action of free air, or ail
from which the vapor has been con

water, but the flavor and aroma of the
butter are improved. No funnel, tube

The faculty of truth-that is. the
love of it's indicated by the muscle
which surrounds the eve. causing folds
and wrinkles. Justice is indicated bv
the muscle which causes perpendicular
wrinkles between the eyebrows. Full
ness and wrinkles under the eve, for
which some persons are remarkable,
indicate the love of mathematical accu-
racy: and cuving upward from the
lower angle of the eye and eyebrow
indicate prObity or personal truthful
ness. There are three degrees of the
faculty Of Justice. The first is Il kind
of cXactnc5s or strict accuracy in small
money matters, which some people
would call cloScncss, and is indicated
by Il singular perpendicular wrinkle or
line between the eyebrows, The sec
ond is Il disposition to require Justice
in others, and is indicated by two per-
pendicular lines or wrinkles, one on
each side Of the ccntrc-a very COM
mon sign. The third degree is con-
scicntiousnc,s. or the disposition to APP
Iply thcruIc Of Justice to ones self, and
is Indicated by three or more wrinkles,
or lines especially noticeable, extend
ing above the eyebrow when the mus,
Gle is in action. The love of command
is indicated by one or more short,
TRAVERSE wrinkles across the root of
the nose, exactly between the eyes. Ii
mayb seen in great military command
crs, in masters and teachers, and in
those generally who are fond of eXer-
cising authority, In those who are
wanting in the power to command, and
have no desire for responsibility, this
sign is also absent. The faculty of
command frequently acts with that
part of justice which rcprimands or re-
quires others to do right, and both to-
gether produce that frowning and low
ering brow which is so terrible to evil
docrs, or TO those who love to be ap-
proved rather than condemned.

Danish Rnffar

AT Dairymen's Convention recently
held at Belleville, Ont, referring to butter
making in Europe, Mr. Barre, of Quebec.
said that Denmark had long been famous
for her butter which brought the highest
price in the London market They fed their
cows so carefully and so well that they pro-
duced rather more butter in the winter
than in the summer. The system of deep
setting is generally adopted, and the
centrifugal system is deemed the best
for extracting the creams The Danes
used to make butter on the sweet sys-
tenn, because it had then proved that butter
would keep longer if made on this plan. 1t
required more cream. however, aud now the
cream is acidulated, but very slightly. The
churning lasts about forty-five minutes. the
speed being about 125 revolutions per min
ute. The churning is stopped as soon as
the butter comes in small pellicles They
then take the butter out with a sieve
and work it with the hands, extracting
the buttermilk. The Danes do not WASH
their butter They then form q round
ball of the butter and lay it to one side.
After time these balls are put together and
salted. 1t then receives another working,
and is put to one side TO cool Then the
butter is worked in machine, and after
this, when perfectly dry, it is packed in fir
kins holding about 125 pounds each, and
shipped to dealers. The Danish people ex-
oICiSe tue gredteSt care III the manufacture
of butter, and this has been brought about
by the establishment of dairy schools, where
young men and young ladies go through
practical course of dairying.
The butter that took the first prize at the
Worlds Fair in London was made by
Danish farmer who kept but six cows The
average yield of butter by Danish cow was
130 pounds but MIR. Barre quoted some rec
ords where these COWS produced 200 pounds
annually

to-day in Europe than the General After his dis
missal from the University he was sent with
regiment of the guards to assist in suppressing the
insurrection. After passing through different di-
visions of the Russian Army, he was in 1878 trans
ferred TO Turkestan, taking part III the famous
expedition to Khiva Lieutenant Colonel of a
Cossack regiment. From this period, it may be
said began his upward career. The story OF his
exploits IN the Russo-Turkish War includes all
that was most exciting in the War which brought
the Russian Army within sight of the minarets of
Stambone.
AS his recent speech at Paris shows he is singu-
larly undiplomatic, effusive and enthusiastic He

1t would be great favor to editors and
printers should those who write for the
press observe the following rules. They are
reasonable, and correspondents will regard
them as such: l. Write with black ink, on
white paper, wide ruled. 2. Make the pages
small, one fourth that of foolscap sheet g.
Leave the second page OF each leaf blank. 4.
Give to the written page an ample margin all
round. 5. Number the pages In the order of
their succession. 6. Write in plain, bold
hand, with less respect to beauty. Z. Use
no authorizations which are not to be put in
print. 8. Punctuate the manuscript as it
should be printed. 8. For italics, under
score one line; for small capitals, two; cap
itals, three. 10. Never interline without
the caret to show its place. IL. Take
special care with every letter in proper
names. II. Review every word TO be sure
that none is illegible. l3. Put directions
to the printer at the head of the first page
IA. Never write private letter to the ed
itor on the printers copy, but always on q
separate sheet.

Corset Statistics.
rChfcaoo Trfhunet

There were imported to this country in
1881 about $1,000 dozen corsets, valued at
not less than $6 per dozen, and over so 600
dozen Of an average value OF 50 per dozen.
On these there was levied al d collected a
duty of $1s7, 500. or about 80 per cent.
The cost price Of the best quality landed in
this country was fraction less than seventy
five cents a corset, which, adding the duty,
made the cost over 81 each. One-third of
the total value of all the exports of Wur-
temburg to the United States since 1865 has
been in woven corsets. The total annual pro-
duction Tin 1880) of corsets in the Kingdom
Is ESQ, 900, valued at $750,000 requiring
1900 pounds of cotton yarn. The industry
requires sixteen distinct processes in the
changing the raw material to the finished
corset. These are the weaving, cutting-out,
stitching, stamping, embroidering, insertion
of whalebones punching eylet-holes, wash
ing starchiDg, shaping, ironing, eyeletting,
clasping, measuring and boxing. In the
manufacture Of these goods LOO hand
looms, and about $500 persons are en-
ployed. About /, 700 are male weavers. All
the work except the weaving is done by
female operatives, and most of the work is
done at home. These women earn an aver
age of $3.50 per month, and the male weavers
from SIT to $18 per month. The new
French tariff has cut off the trade with that
country, though the trade with the United
States, England and South America is still
maintained. The German tariff, by in
creasing the duty on yarn has also injured
the profits of the business. Following the
close of the American War the export o.
| these corsets TO the United States, which
had been about $3.50 600 year, rapidly in
| creased in 1866 to $3.50, 900 and in 1872 tc
81, ,000 but since then has declined Il
| $317, 600 in 1880, and rose again in 1881 +,
| $500, 100.
