Sweet or Sour Cream.

"A high foreign authority on dairy
matters expresses the following opinions
in regard to this question:
"First of all, the cream must be
taken from the milk while it is perfectly
sweet Twelve hours in summer, and
twenty-four in winter, should be the
maximum time which the milk should
stand befo,e- the cream is taken off.
Many people will say that a great deal
of cream would thereby be left in the
milk. Then | say, take second skim
ming, but do not mix it with the first.
Churn both separately, and then Judge
for yourselves whether you do not get
6rst-class butter from one and second
or third class butter from the other.
Another important point is the skill Of
the skinner. Only cream should be
taken off the milk, and not a particle
of skim milk with it, if you Can avoid
it. Every drop of milk contains a GER
tain proportion of curd-that is to say,
unmade cheese; and this curd gives
that rank flavor and strong taste which
are characteristic of bad butter. Now,
if we follow the cream, taken carefully
off the milk after twelve or twenty-four
hours standing, according to the tenn
perature, let it be put into a perfectly
clean jar, well closed, and kept in IA
cool place free from bad smells. The
cream taken off the next day in the
same manner may be added to it, and
so on, and the small farmer need not
churn more than once or twice week,
and will make excellent butter if he
takes care thus to get his raw material
: the cream-perfectly pure and sweet
to begin with.
Many people will tell you that you
ought to churn the cream viii it is
still sweet. My opinion is contrary tc
that dictum, and | base it on my
experience of the dairy practice il
foreign countries, especially Normandy
and Denmark.
in Normandy, most of the farms ar,
very small, and butter is made once OF
twice a week, the cream being SKINNED
sweet and afterwards ripened, as | have
Just described. liz Denmark, on tn,
other hand, the dairy farms are gener
ally very large, say from so to 200 o
. 800 milking cows, yet even on thos,
farms the sweet cream is CAREFUL,
ripened before it is churned. Now a
Normandy sends us the best fresh bu-
ter, and Denmark sends us the bes
keeping butter, it is quiet obvious tina
up to the present point the process o
manufacture is the same in both clse-
Let me formulate it: The cream mu
be skinned while it is perfectly sweet
it must contain no skim milk, and
! must be ripened before it is churned.

HEALTH AND CLIMATE.

NEAL n ANU uLImAiLs
All health seekers, whether from Northern
or Southern States, should try the climate of
the Tableland. The recent United States
Census shows it to be almost the only district
east OF the Rocky Mountains, entirely fl ee from
maarial pulmonary and intestinal diseases.
The Plateau has double climate. one
resulting from latitude and the other from
elevation. The air is pure and inyigoi ating.
The water is freestone cool and sparkling.
Mineral springs are numerous.
The mean summer temperature is " deg.
Fair, and in winter 81 deg. Fair. The
nights are always cool and refreshing.
SOIL.
The soil is sandy loan upon mulatto
c az subsoil. It's light. friable, holds manure.
i, easily cultivated and responds readily and
generously to the least fertilizer.
CROPS AND GRASSES. ,
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, and barley all grow
well, though this is not claimed as grain
growing soil. Tobacco is profitable crop
here, as also is sorghum. Herd grass orchard
grass. German and pearl millet timothy and
red clover have allfbeen tried, and take hold
and root well. Kentucky blue grass also
thrlves wherever introduced. The natural
pasturage is abundant.
VEGETABLES
Grow abundantly. Cabbage, onions. beans,
sweet and Irish potatoes all make fine return.
The Irish potatoes are unexceled by any
grown in America. Sweet potatoes and onions
yield 500 bushels per acre.
FRUIT AND GRAPE CULTURE.
This region is especially adapted to fruit,
and particularly to the winter apple and the
grape. The apple crop here has never been
kaown to fail. The trees are healthy, and the
fruit smooth, plump, juicy and firm, rarely
ever speaking or rottlng. The grape is also a
sure crop where proper varieties are planted
The vines are robust. and the grapes make
excellent wines, which are in good demand
These two fruits are destined to become the

animals, as every bird carries a complete
mill for this purpose. aud puts in a new
run Of stones as often as it can get to the
ground. A variety OF grain is always
acceptable; wheat screenings, buckwhest,
cats and rye, the last rather spsringly.
Cooked food is highly reliShed-pOtatoes
or turnips boiled and mashed with Indian
meal, scalded and fed warm, especially
on frosty mornings. Fowls are very
fond of vegetables, eaten raw, and ii
sugar beets or mangels or turnips are
put within reach, they will help them
selves. For an appetizer, nothing is bet
ter than cabbage or the tops Of turuips.
Hens never tire of cabbage. and a COOL
supply for winter should always be aid
in. Animal food in some shape must be

THE CRIME OF THE PAST YAER.

The statistics of crime in the United
States during the past year present some
| significant features. There has been an av-
erage OF two murders day throughout the
| year, while the executions have averaged
| only twosa week Remembering the re-
suits of recent murder trials aud the in
| huence of false and sickiy sentimcntali-
| ty this disproportion is not surprising,
| but it nevertheless affords ground for
serious reflection. There have been fit
| ty-seven lynchings Considering our
| enormous population, vast stretch of
territory, and the comparatively Iawless
character of the sections In the South
| and West where nearly all these lynch
iugs occurred, their number certainly
gives no reason for regarding lynch law
as al inevitable accompaniment OF Amer
lean life Nor does the South present
such CHASTITY showing as it has been lie
fashion to attribute TO that section. Or
the 73O murders of the year only PIP
were committed in the er tire South while
there was 13l murders in New York State
alone Of which 76 were in this city and
IL in Brooklyn. Of the 101 executions
during the year, 90, or more than half,
took place iG the Southern States, which
furnished only one-third or one-quarter
of the murders; while in New York
State, in which about onC-sIxth OF the 90
tai number of murders took place, there
were only four executions. This would
seem to indicate that the law takes It's
course in the South as we'll as in the
North, and that the legal punishment
OF homicide in the former section is by
no means a rarity. The lumber OF
Iynchiugs was 81, Colorado leading with
6, while there was % III all the Southern
States OF The 383 suicides of the year,
123 took their lives in this city and 70 in
Brooklyn, New York State furnishing
1874 or about half the total number.
