WASHING, WORKING AND PACKING BUT
TER.
Though the treatment of butter af-
ter leaving the churn consists only of
simple mechanical operations. unless
each manipulation is performed at the
right time and in the right manner, the
result will be an inferior product. Sue
cess in these operations depends much
upon skill acquired by actual exper-
fence. Young butter-makers in the
West who ask for information in re-
gard to washing, working and packing
butter, should not be discouraged, if,
in following directions, everything
does not at first 90 as we'll as they could
wish. Perseverance with careful oh
servation. will bring Skill in due time
Probably in nine-tenths of the pri'
vate diaries butter is churned till it
forms into one solid lump. If this
practice is persisted in the washing
and working are best conducted to-
gethcr. Take from the churn so much
of the butter rs can be handled con-
vicinity at time, and place it in water,
or brine, at about 60 degrees, and free
it from buttermilk by pressing it with
the back of the ladle till it is ilattened
into lump again, and repeat the
pressing till the water in which it is
worked remains clear, the water being
changed as often as it becomes much
colorcd with buttermilk.
When the whole churniug has been
thus treated add one ounce of salt to
each pound of butter, and work it in
by pressing with the back OF the ladle.
All sliding, punching, drawing or
grinding motions should be avoided,
as they wear out the grain of the but
ter, injuring its appearance, its flavor
and its keeping. Working, when done
in the best possible manner, does ma
terial injury, but when done unskill-
fully the effect is much aggravated.
The less violence the better result. All
butter has not the same consistency at
the same temperature. When it has
an average stiffness it works best at 60
degrees, but when harder or softer than
usual the temperature should vary ac-
cordngly so as to make the butter just
nicely pliable. In this condition work
ing does the least injury.
After working in the salt, some pack

before packing. If the butter is to be
worked second time. it is better not
to wait till the salt is all dissolved. for

haust the brine so thoroughly as to
leave the butter too dry for fipest flavor

other ailments to which fruit trees are

am continually hearing complaints
| from owners of fruit trees as to their
unsatisfactory condition, and on exam
ination have Invariably found scarcely
any surface roots or fibers of any kind

On inquiry have usually found that

such practices were dangerous. do
not say that manure will prove to be
cure for fruit-tree ailments of all kinds.
but | will briefly detail a few facts that
have come under my observation at
various times, to prove that starvation
of the roots is far more prolific source
of injury than abundant feeding of the
surface roots, both with solid and IL
quid manures, and growers must form
their own conclusions as to the best
course to pursue. The fruitful or I'M
fruitful state of orchard trees in nine
cases out of ten is entirely dependent
on the attention which they receive as
regards manuring. In the fruit-grow-
ing parts Of Kent, where large orch
ards of standard trees planted on
grass land is the rule. it is well-es-
tablished fact that, if the grass is cut
for hay and carried away, the trees
soon become unfruitful and die out;
while, on the contrary, If the grass is
fed off, so that the nutriment is re-
turned to the roots in the shape of
manure, the trees keep fruitful and
healthy. have seen some of the most
moss-grown, miserable specimens of
starved orchard trees restored to fruit
full condition by making the ground
beneath them the Winter quarters of
sheep and pigs, feeding them the same
time as if they were in the farmyard
with roots and corn. The finest old
specimens of apple and pear trees are
generally those in an orchard next to
the homestead that is used as a run for
calves, sheep, pigs and poultry the
whole year round. In these orchards
the turf is short. and, being full of nu-
triment, the trees keep healthy, and
prolific for an indefinite period. Ashes,
garden refuse, or any kind of road
scrapings, or even scavengers' rubbish,
may be utilized for increasing our sup
ply of orchard fruits. They should
be spread roughly on the surface in the
winter, and in spring narrowed and
rolled down firmly. The result will
soon be marked improvement in the
size and quality of the crop. Differ
encc of opinion prevails as to pruning
or non-pruning trees, some adopting
one system and some another; but, be
that as it may, never knew fruit trees
continue to yield good crops for any
length of time unless the roots were
with manure in some form or
other.

One OF the leading contributors TO

which fruit-growers in this country are
finding Of great Importance.
1t is singular how long some falla-

have been disproved by facts, and Of
these one of the most mischievous Is
the belief that fruit trees and bushes
are liablo to injury rather than benefit
from the application of manure. All

To say that the boy was surprised

beside her, kneeling on the fair flowers,
reckless of the damage he was doing.

The objection seems to be we'll taken.
Already the cowboy has fallen in the

EXPERIMENTS ON INSECTS.

Dr. +. l.. Sturtevant, director of the
New York State Experimental station,
has issued the following bulletin in re-
lation to various methods employed by
him for killing insects that are trouble
some to common garden vegetables:
The striped cucumber beetle is a
pest we'll known to the garden. We
have applied kerosene mixed with
sand, an ounce to the pound, to the
soil about the plants of cuoumbers to
prevent his ravages, but with little, if
any, beneficial effect noted. We also
tried soluble phenyle diluted with
water at the rate of tablespoonful of
the former to a gallon of the latter;
the application seemed but partial
remedy for the attacks of the insect,
and proved injurious to the plants.
Soluble phcnyle mixed with sand in the
proportion of one ounce to the pound
proved almost instant death to the
plants wherever it touched them.
In order to test the influence of nox-
ious odors in repelling the striped bug,
we placed among the plants of a hill
of squashes few corn-cobs that had
been dipped in coal tar. placed frame
of mosquito-netting over the hill, and
introduced dozen or so of the bu g5
The insects applied themselves to the
leaves OF the squash vines with their
usual relish, and the following day we
found that, instead of the inclosed
bugs attempting to make their escape
through the netting, numerous visiting
bugs were at the outside of the cover
attempting to make their way in. The
same result was noted as following the
application of corn-cobs dipped in SOL
uble phenyle, a liquid possessing a
powerful odor resembling that of coal
tar
Paris green mixed with water, half
teaspoonful to two gallons, when care
fully applied to both sides of the leaves
of cucumber or melon vines, is nearly
eflicacious; when applied to the upper
side of the leaves, however, it is of less
value, as the beetles remain much of
the time during sunny weather upon
the lower side of the leaves and upon
the stems. Kerosene, diluted with
eight parts of water, did not keep away
the beetles, while it was injurious to
the foliage. The cabbage caterpillar,
the larva of PieriS rapae, was effect
ually mastered by the use of Buhach
powder applied with a bellows We
are making further trials in order to
determine what degree of dilution may
answer for successful use. The aspar-
agus beetle has made its appearance
in the station garden. We find paris
green applied in water sure death TO
the Larvae, although neither this nor
the kerosene emulsion seems to have
apparent effect upon the beetles them
selves.
The currant worm succumbs readily
to hellebore powder, when the applica-
ton is made while the dew is on the
plants. so as to cause the powder to
adhere TO the leaves. Applied so as to
adhere, the application lasts for sew
eral days; the dust of the helebore
kills, however, very rapidly the eater
pillars with which it comes into con-
tact and the substance may be applied
busted from dredge, as soon as the
young larvae appear. The kerosene
emulsion, rs noted above, was only
partially successful.

LYKENs, Sept. 1S.-A terrific boiler ex-
plosion occurred little after 5 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon at the Lykens Val
lev colliery, owned by the Pennsylvania
railroad company. The report was heard
for many miles. Had the explosion taken
place half an hour later the loss of life
would have been great, as then the min
ers would have been passing over the
boiler room as they emerged from the
mine As it is, three men were more or
less severely injured, and one young man
was so terribly scalded by escaping steam
and so badly bruised that no hopes of his
recovery are entertained. The explosion
was caused by rotten and defective
boiler. Four boiles exploded to-
gether, throwing iron and timber in
every direction for several hundred
yards. Two of the boilers appear
in very bad condition, both being scaly
and rotten around the first row of nails
behind the boiler head. The heads of
both these boilers were blown of,
distance of 400 yards. The building
over the boiler-room is a total wreck, the
timbers being scattered in ever. direction.
The explosion necessities a shutdown,
which will LAST for many weeks. The
loss will reach $4,000, without taking in
to consideration the loss by the delay in
working the main. Paul Schultz, Joseph
Dunlap and George Bright are the
names of those painfully injured. They
were in the room almost directly over the
boilers that exploded. The one MORALLY
injured is Elmer Kocher, driver boy.
His flesh was terribly burned. He has,
besides, sustained internal injuries, and
it is thought cannot live.
