Butter Making.

At Dairymen's Association meeting in
one of the States not long since, prize
was offered for the best essay on Butter
Making" not to exceed $50 words and the
following is the paper in question, which
commends itself to readers generally as
an admirable example OF making every
word tell. In a word. it contains the
cream of the whole milk pan without one
drop of the SKINNED milk:
Cows-Select cows rich in butter-mak-
ing qualities.
Feed-Pas.ures should be dry, free from
slough holes, well seeded with different
kinds of tame grasses, so that good iced
is assured II timothy or clover, cut early
and cure properly. Feed corn stalks,
pumpkins, ensilage, and plenty of vegeta-
bles in winter.
Grain-Corn and oats and bran; oil
meal in small quantities.
Water-Let cows drink only such water
as you would drink yourself.
Care OF Cows-Gentleness and cleanli-
ness.
Milking-Brush the adder to free it
from impurities Milk in a clean barn.
well ventilated. quickly. cheerfully. with
clean hands and pail. Seldom change
mixers.
Care of Milk-Strain while warm; SUBJ
merge in water 4S degrees; open setting
60 degrees.
Skimming-Skim at IL hours; at "a
hours.
Care of cream-Care must be exercised
to ripen cream by frequent STRINGS. keep
ing at 60 degrees until slightly sour.
Utensls-Better have one COW less than
be without thermometer. Churns with
out inside fixtures. Lever butter-worker.
Keep sweet and clean.
Churning-Stir the cream thoroughly;
temper to sixty degrees; warm or cool
with water. Churn Immediately when
properly soured, slowly at first with reg
ular motion; in forty to sixty minutes.

A French philosopher with . learning to
statistics has taken great deal of pains to
find out the countries of Europe in which
divorces are most common, and has succeeded
in preparing a table that will be found inter-
esting by those who devote attention to such
matters. One of this inquisitive persons
alleged discoveries has a unique attraction,
lnasmuch as it seems to supply some sort of
proof that European women apt to give prac-
teal application to the oft-quoted line: I'D
rather be an old mana darling than a young
mans slave"
The philosopher Gays that out Of every
1000 divorces obtained, ls4 are granted to
persons between whose ages there is merely
the usual differance, but that of girls who are
twenty five or more years younger than their
husbands there are only ten who obtain
divorces to the 1000 granted. This is cheer
ing. or ought to be, to the bachelor who.
being in the "sere and yellow leaf" has rash
ly abandoned all hope of matrimony. If the
philosophic person is to be believed. he is
just the man the girls want. And then the
post-nuptialprospect is so delightful. Peace
and harmony must be written over the potals
wherin May and December dwell.

TO LAKE PLEASANT.

The First Excursion to the Sp1rifua-
 Iists' Rig Camp Meeting at that F Place.
 The first excursion from this city to Lake Pleasant, the site of the Spiritualists' camp meeting, took place yesterday. The camp grounds are the largest in New England and located on the banks of this pretty lake in the town of Montague, Mass. The distance from this city is about one hundred miles, but the railroad arrangements are so well made that the distance is covered in quick time. The train left this city at @. m. and consisted of five cars well filled. At Plainville fifty peo- pie boarded the train from towns on the New England road. When the train reached Simsbury six carloads of people from Hart ford and way stations on the Connecticut Western road were waiting. These cars were attached and ,270 were soon deposited safely on the grounds. When the excursion ists arrived the Fitchburg band of 30 pieces was just opening the grand concert from the pagoda. Seats were arranged round and about the spot on the rising ground, giving the appearance of the amphitheatre of the olden time. There are many fancy cottages built along the banks of the lake for a mile or more The exercises of the meeting were interesting and well repaid the people for their early rising and the long ride. The speakers for the day were MT. and Mrs. Hud- son Futile of Berlin Heights, Ohio, Hon. A. H. Daley of Brooklyn, N. Y, and Mrs. Elm ma H. Britten of England.
 Next Sunday a train will leave this city and large trains will be run from Hartford and Winsted. Superintendent Opdyke and Ticket Agent States were along to look after the comforts of the excursionists. Conduc- tor Woodruff and Engineer Dalamer were in charge of the train.

CENTER CHURCH.
Excellent Discourse by the Rev. Dr Anderson, of Waterbury-The TruG Meaning nf fha Rasmrracffnn

Excellent Discourse by the Rev. Dr.
 Anderson, of Waterbury-The True
 Meaning of the Resurrection.
 The congregation at Center church yester- day morning listened to a fine discourse by
 the Rev. Dr. Anderson, of Waterbury. The text was from the ffty-third chapter of Isaiah and eleventh verse: ''He shall see the travail of his soul and be satisfed'' The preacher said that it is claimed by scholars that resurrection means the rising up, the en- tering upon life higher and broader than the earthly life. The resurrection as people think of it is simply return to the life of the earth. But in Hebrews and all through the New Testament it is taught that resur- rection is the entrance upon & life free from the judicial sentence of death, the heavenly life. Christs resurrection was the first step in the ascension. Christ's life was then more advanced. His earthly life was the great seed time and the life after the great ingath- ering of generation after generation The great harvest work of Jesus was visib1y be- gun while he was yet upon the cross The proofs of his self-saerifce began to appear
 The prophecy of the text began to be full filled. Notice the repentance and conver- sion of one of the two robbers who were cru cifed with him and the profound conviction wrought by Christ's death upon the minds of those that saw it. The great crime was perpetrated by the Jews. But Roman officers nailed him to the cross and Roman centurion watched by his tomb. They became profoundly con vinced that Christ was the Son of God and believed in him. As we see the Jew and the centurion uniting in glorifying God, is it not token of that union of all races and na- tionalities that is to come? The effect upon Joseph of Arimethea and Nicodemus is also worthy of thought They were members of the Sanhedrim. Joseph had long been be- hever in Christ, but lacked the courage to avow himself. But at this dark hour when Chr1st's enemies had triumphed and his cause was at it's lowest ebb and even it's friends seemed to have deserted him these men came out boldly. Joseph went to Pilate and obtained permission to take the body of the dead Christ and place it in his newly built tomb, and Joseph and Nicodemns bought myrtle and fine linen and prepared the body for inter ment aceorning to the custom of the rich of those days. It was 8 small deed, but at that time it was indicative of a great change in those men and the change was wrought by the influence of Christ's death, by his behavior on the cross, by his love arousing their love- So they stood among the first fruits of the great harvest. Those incidents are symbolic of the great change in Joseph and Nicodemus suggests that Christ works within those who are in his dng9ym. ]
