GILT EDGE BITTER.

Gilt edge butter is something we often
hear Of but seldom see, and for the reason
that too many butter makers, and especially
those on the farms, are in too great hurry
to do the churning, and consequently, instead
of the gilt edge product, we have mass Of
grease, palatable when fresh, but horrible
when week or ten days old and the trouble
often lies in the fact that after the butter has
been churned it is worked until every parti-
Gle of buttermilB, and even the milky brine,
has been gotten out of it. With so much
working the butter becomes salvey, loses
its aroma, and soon becomes rancid. After
the butter has been churned to about the
size of small shot the buLtermilk should be
drawn off two or three pals Of moderately
salt brine should then be added; the churn
given few revolutions the brine drawn off,
and the butter worked slightly. Too much
working ruins the butter. Apropos OF this
subject, Mr.. Robert Hall, a butter inspector
of Ohio, says that where butter is properly
churned, both as to time and temperature,
it becomes firm with very little working, and
it is tenacious but its most desirable state
is waxy, when it is easily moulded into any
shape and may be drawn out a considerable
length without breaking. 1t is then styled
giltedge. 1t is only n this that butter
possesses that rich nutty taste and smell
and shows up a rich golden yellow color
which imparts SO high degree of pleasure
In eating it, and which increases its value
many fold. Il is not always necessary wher
it smells sweet 10 taste butter in judging it.
The smooth, unctious feel in rubbing a
little between the finger and thumb, ex-
presses at once its rich quality; the nutty
smell and rich aroma indicate asimilar taste
and tho bright golden, glistening, cream
colored surface shows its height of cleanli.
ness. 1t may be necessary at times TO us'
fryer, or use it until you become an exper
in testing by taste, smell and rubbing r.

CULTIVATION or FRUIT TREES.

The following from an exchange is worth
the attention Of amateur fruit growers -
g Instead of trimming up trees, according
to the old fashion, to make them long legged
and long-armed, trim them down, so as to
make them even, snug and symmetrical. In
stead of manuring heavily in a small circle
at the foot of the tree, spread the manure, II
needed at all. broadcast over the whole sur
face, especially where the ends of the roots
can get it. Instead Of spreading small
circle about the stem, cultivate the whole
surface broadcast. Prefer well pulyerized
clean surface in an orchard with q moder.
ately rich soil to heavy manuring and q
surface with hard crust and weeds and
grass. Remember that it is better to set oui
ten trees with all the necessary care TO make
them live and flourish than to set out hun.
dred trees and have them all die from care
lessness. Remember that tobacco is pois
on, and will kill insects rapidly If properly
applied 10 them, and is one Of the best drugs
for freeing fruit trees rapidly Of small yer
min. Finally, do not neglect to set out o!
many fruit trees of different varieties as you
possibly can. If you have but small farm
put on the fewer number of trees, but pu
on as many as you can find space for
Larger farms, more trees. Fruit evaporatori
are comparatively inexpensive, they ar'

from Grenada as follows:
The Alhambra, that fragment of the Orient

with red cement. Time, earthquakes and
vandal hands have split and dismantled
these and the citadel they inclose, till much
is in ruins and all is softened and stained
into picturesqueness. Only four or FIVE
of the original towers and one gate, and
these partially restored, remain at all COM
plete. These, massive outside and marvel.
ously finished inside, are large enough in
themselves for dwellings.
OF the buildings that once occupied the
large space thus inclosed, only part of the
original Moorish palace remains; the rest
are ruined convent, an ugly church oil

GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSOCIATION 81 am
glad to greet so many of you here to-day.
The sheep and wool interests are among the
most important branches Of our agriculture.
1t is estimated that the sheep Of this county
produce thousand pounds of fleece per day,
and the cash value of the mutton sent to
market every year from Kenosha county is no
small item.
believe that sheep husbandry has en-
riched our county more than any ether
branch of our farming. II has been truly
said the touch ofthe sleeps foot is gold
EVERY farmer, think, in this county, at
one time or another, has kept more or less
shetp, and every farm has been improved by
them. For the amount Of capital invested,
the labor and care bestowed, sheep farming
brings the surest returns.
Our comfortable homee, roomy and conve-
nient barns, our productive acres, represent
to large degree the profits of sheep hus-
bandry. 1t is very proper, therefore, that
we, who are interested in sheep and wool,
should counsel together to advance our inter-
ests. 1t is certain that good will result from
an exchange of experience and opinion. On
certain public questions relating 10 the in.
terests of wool growing there must be unity
of action to make our influence avail any
thing. We can congratulate ourselves on
the organization of the sheep breeders and
wool growers Of this county, and we shall be
advancing our own interests by seeking 10
enlarge our membership and augmenting iis
power for good.

An interesting and general discussion
followed.

SECRETARY TELLER'S
OF the varied governmental concerns IN
charge of the interior department., the re-
pert of its secretary presents an interesting
summary. Among the topics deserving par-
ticular attention ] refer you to his ohserva-
tions respecting our Indian affairs, the pre-
emption and timber culture acts, the failure
of railroad companies to take title to lands
granted by the government and the opera
tons of the pension office, the patent Office,
the census bureau md bureau OF education.
Allusion has been made already to the cir.
cumstance that both us between different
Indian tribes and as between the Indians and
the whites, the past year has been one OK
unbl oxen peace. In this circumstance the
president is glad to find Justification for the
policy of the government III dealing With the
indian question, and confirmation or vleWs
which were fully expressed in his first COM
munication to the Forty-seventh congress.
The secretary urges a new enactment or a
statute for the punishment of crimes COM
mitted on Indian reservations, and recon-
mends this passage of the bill now pending
III the house of representatives, for the pur-
chase of a district of $4,000 square miles
from the Sioux reservation. Both these
measures are worthy OF approval | concur
with him also in advising the repeal Of the
presumption law, the enactment of statutes
resolving the present legal complications
touching lapsed grants to railroads, and the
funding of the debt of the several Pacific
railroads under such guarantee us shall in
sure its ultimate payment

THE REDUCTION IN LETTER POSTAGE

THE IN LETTER POSTAGE.
The report OF the postmaster general ac-
quafnts you with the present condition and
needs of the postal service. 1t discloses tie
gratifying fact that the loss of revenue from
the reduction in the rate of letter postage. as
recommended in my message of December,
1882 and effected by the act of March 3.
1885, has been much less than was generally
anticipated. My recommendation of this
reduction was based upon the belief that the
actual falling off in receipts from letter post
age for the year Immediately succeeding the
change of rate would be So ,OOO, 900. 1t has
proved to be only $2,275 600. This is q
trustworthy indication that the revenue will
soon be restored to its former volume ly
natural increases of sealed correspondence.
l confidently repeat, therefore, the recon-
mendat1on Of my last annual message. that
the single rate OF postage upon drop letters
be reduced to one cent wherever the pay
ment OF two cents is now required by law.
The double rate is only exacted at offices
where the carrier system is in operation, and
1t appears that at these offices the in
crease in tax upon local letters defrays
the cost not only of its own collection
and delivery, but of the collection and deliy-
cry of all other mail matter, and this is an
~irregularity that ought no longer to exist
l approve the recommendation Of the most
$1,000 ShNS $3.50 Va SlS iii UlItt
rating of tirst-class matter should be one
ounce instead of one-half ounce, as it now is
In view of the statistics furnished by the de-
partment, it may be well doubted whether
the change would result in any loss Of
revenue. it would greatly promote the
convenience Of the public is beyond dispute.
The free delivery system has been lately
applied to five cities, and the total number
OF offices in which it is now in operation is
l59. Experience shows that its adoption
under proper conditions is equally an acco,r-
mediation to the public and an advantage 10
the postal service. 1t is more than
self-sustaining, and, for the reasons
urged by the postmaster general, may
properly be extended. 1t is the opinion cf
that officer that it is proper to provide
means whereby exceptional dispatch in
dealing with letters in free-deliyery otfic s
may be secured by the payment OF extre-
ordinary postage. This scheme NAV he
made effective by the employment of n
special stamp, whose cost shall be commen-
surate with the expense of the entire extra
service. In some of the large cities private
express companies have undertaken to out
strip the government mail carriers by afford.
ing, for the prompt transmission of letters
better facilities than have hitherto been Z
the command of the postoffice. It HIS
always been the policy of the government to
discourage such enterprises, and in no better
way can that policy be maintained than in
supplying the public with the most efficient,
service that, with due regard to its own hest
interests, can be furnished for it's recon-
mendatlon.
