WESTERN BUTTER FACTORIES Oar
correspondent, l.. l.. W., Windsor county,
Vt, desires to know something of the
process OF making gilt edge butter in the
western factories. The Inter Ocean gives
the following account of butter factory
in Wisconsin: The milk upon arrival is
examined with good lactometer, for the
purpose of knowing whether it has been
tempered with or watered by the seller;
then it is weighed, and strained through a
double cloth strainer and run into deep
coolers eighteen inches by nine, and set
into large pool twenty by twenty,
holding about 5000 pounds of milk. The
quantity of milk is allowed to stand until
the cream gets little sour, then the
cream is taken off with cone dipper and
put into tin settlers, and then they are set
into tank of warm water, having Il
temperature of 1000. The butter maker
holds thermometer in the cream with
one hand and stirs it with the other until
the cream is gradually raised to G2e.
Then he takes the settlers out Of the water,
so the cream will not get too high IL
temperature. The barrel churn. made OF
solid oak, is thoroughly scalded out with
boiling water, then rinsed out with cold
spring water, to give the churn good
flavor. The cream is now empied into
the cnurn, filling it half full, the churn
having capacity Of 400 gallons. The
quantity of cream is now colored with
butter coloring, at the rate of one spoonful
10 five gallons of cream. The churn is
propelled one minute by an eight horse
power engine; then stopped and the cover
taken off for the purpose Of letting
small quantity of foul gas" escape, The
cover is now fastened on perfectly tight,
and the churn kept revolving for one
bour, making forty revolutions a minute
The butter will generally come the size of
shot in that length of agitation. TO have
perfect butter, it must come in the
granulated form, so all the buttermik
can be thoroughly washed out of the
butter with cold spring water. When the
buttermilk is all taken out completely
with brine, the butter is saltcl. three
quarters of an ounce to one pound of
butter, then left to stand till next day, so
the salt can work through it. IRE butter
is again reworked till the brine runs
perfectly clear, ard all the streaks
removed; then it is packed in sc pound
tubs made of ash and Il thin piece of
white bandage spread on the top, then |
little salt wet with water to make Il brine, |
hen the covers are fastened ON tight aud |
he tubs set into an lice house." having Il
temperature of 400 F.-An1. CulLirut0r.

Concerning EnsiIage.

Nearly two years ago, the FREEMAN did
what some OF the state papers, and indeed
through the country, are doing now,
devoting almost whole issues TO the subject
of ensilage We have seen very little
reason to change the conclusions then
reached, that ensilage is likely to have an
important place in farm economy. That
it will take the place. of hay entirely. or
become, as some of its more enthusiastic
advocates seem TO expect, forage on
which cattle will thrive and give milk and
make butter, without any addition. al d
with greatly lessened cost and greatly
increased profit, we do not expect.
We remarked then, what we have since
had still greater reason to believe, that
ens!age was likely to suffer more from
its too Jealous advocates than from its
bitterest opponents. We have known of
one or two who have gone into ensilage
and been disappointed in the results.
They evidently had expected too much,
and the man who expects to put in sio.
and pit of ensilagc and largely increase
his stock without its taking some work
will very likely suffer similar disappoint
ment. There will be considerable labor
in putting in five or six acres of corn and
tending it, and no slight job to cut and
haul it to the barn and get il cut into the
slo. Then he who expects because it IS
ensiagc, that 1t will keep stock of cattle
in rs good condition as what good hay
they would eat and a fair feed of meal.
will likely fail to have his expectations
realized, and he would not expect the
same stock to thrive well on fodder corn
alone, or as we'll as he would wish.
But the man who appreciates the fact
that something never comes from nothing,
that it will take labor to build and fill Il
silo, increased labor and fertilizers to
raise fodder for largely increased stock,
neither it be ensilage or hay, and that 60
pounds of green fodder containing 81 per
cent of water will not contain as much
nutrition as 20 pounds of dry folder, and
goes into the work on that understanding,
and feeds with that fact in view will, we
believe, find value in ensilage. and he
will feed ensiage, and hay, and meal, and
straw, not attempting TO use either fodder
quite alone. All animals like variety in
food, and beside The liking, there is feed
ing value in straw which is often lost.
Straw would, we believe, he made
more palatable mixed with cnsilage and
little meal, and food of equal value be
obtained at reduced cost. In all this
we realize we are not giving a record OF
experience. as we have no silo yet, but
they are conclusions we have reached
from the careful study of the subject from
the lime when there We're but bare half
dozen sios in the state. Now, there are
probably over one hundred and thirty,
and those who wish to know more of
them, can reach one by short journey,
and get from the owner just such fac
and figures as he needs. and see of his
own observation how the matter pans out,
and that will do more towards settling his
mind than cords of other peoples writer
opisions. Go and see silo if you never
have done so.

DIR. f. Lewis Sturtevant, the director OF
the Newport experiment station, has been
trying whether there is any greater value
in seed, in one kernel of corn ON an ear
than in another portion of the ear, His
experiments have seemed to indicate tn II
the kernels from the tips Of the ears
(Which have often been thrown away
when planting) will give better crop
than the kernels from the butts of the ears
He would like the cooperation of farmers
in this trial and the trial can be made as
well by the farmer as at an expensive
official station, and so wide range Of
experiment would so far towards settling
the matter. As many of our readers
might like to join in the experiment. even
if they cannot report, we will give the
directions as sent out by the station
circular, dated January Doth:
Select a number of perfect tipped ears
of flint val iety of corn; from these ears
shell by hand the five butt kernels, the
five central kernels and the five tip kernels
OF each row. Set aside each set of kernels
kept carefully separated, for use AS seed
Using these three kinds of seed, plant
one hundred hills of each, six kernels in q
hill, and, after the plants have appeared
reduce The number to four to hill; these
four 10 be allowed to grow for the purpose
of crop. While thinning, keep careful
record of the plants removed from each
lot, and count the number that vegetated
from the six hundred planted.
Cultivate each series alike, and harvest
ut the same time. At husking time
carefully note on the spot:-
1st The number of ears of merchant.
able and unmerchantable corn borne by
each series.
I'd. The weight of ear corn, merchant
able and unmerchantable, harvested from
each series.
Sd. 1t would be useful and desirable to
measure the length of ears grown from
each kind of seed, in order 10 see what
influence the several kinds of seed have
upon the length of ear produced.

Do you know you have asked for the costiest thing
Ever made by the hand above.
woman's heart, and woman's life,
And womans wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing
As a child might ask for toy,
Demanding what others have died to win
With the reckless dash of boy?
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Manlike you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar of my woman's soul
Until shall question thee.
You may require your mutton shall always be hot.
Your socks and your shirts be whole;
require your heart to be true as Gods stars
As pure as His heaven, your soul
You require cook for your mutton and beef.
lrequire far greater thing;
you're wanting for socks and for shirts
l look for man and king.
king for the beautiful realm called home
And man. that the maker God
Shall look upon as he did on the first
And say, 1T is very good"
am fair and young, but the rose will fade
From my soft young cheek one day.
Will you love me then mid the falling leaves
Asyou did 'mong the bloom of May?
Is your heart an ocean. so strong and deep.
1may launch my all on its tide;
loving woman finds Heaven or He'll
On the day she is made bride
I require all things that ara grand o,a..
All things that man should be;
If you give this all, would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
fyou cannot do this laundress or cock
You may hire, and little to pay;
But woman's heart and woman's life
Arenot to be won in that way
