Mr. A! C.. Tichenor, says London
paper, has lately patented process "
which a current is passed through
milk contained in vessei OF specsa
form. and butter is formed In little
halls on one OF the electrodes. III Is
said that to extract the butter from
forty-fiye iitres Of milk, the current
from dynamo-electrlc machine
equivalent to that OF about forty Dan
iell cells, for from three to ilve MN
tItes is all that is required. Withssch
a current the balls Of butter are suiii-
entity Soldmnous to detach them
selves from the electrode and float to
tho surface of the milk but the butter
Tins obtained has still to be churned,
go as to work the small pieces into a
compact mass. ...
In iining three butchers, short
time ago, for selling blown mutton,
Justice Massey, of Brooklyns made
the following sensible remarks: ~
seems 10 me that butcher who sells
diseased met is as guilty . an apoth-
ecary who sells poison. The fact that
the druggist was ignorant of the ma
ture of the goods he sold would be no
excuse, and If he knowingly sold pols-
on because it cost him less than the
drug asked for he would be guilty of
! a great crime. The same is true OF
these butchers. / think they should
not be allowed to sell If they don't
! know diseased meat, and should be
severely dealt with If they knowingly
| sell it. F" -.
/: is often mystery why well-built
and carefully-managed houses, espe-
cially in the country, burn down. An
! illustration of unsupported causes was
| found by the Sanitary Sciefice stub OF
| Boston on one of its visits OF inspee@
| ton TO the houses of the members.
The cellar had been lathed and plas.
tered, and the wood was allowed to
touch the hot-air pipes of the furnace
| in four out of the six places where the
pipes passed through. The aim
| seemed 10 be TO make MS tight joint
as possible. A very hot fire could
hardly have failed to char the laths.
An Endlish paper says: Lord South-
esk's choice herd of polled cattle was
sold off Mt Kinnaird last Wednesday,.
Fair prices were realized, but only
| four we're sold for the American mar
| ket, which were purchased by Lord
Airlie' factor for Mr.. Lyulph Oglivy's
farm in Colorado. Several lots were
| bought by Lord Aberdeen and Lord
| Strathmore for their respective herds.
| The breakup o. the Kinnard farm and
establishment is greatly regretted by
ali classes in Forfarshire. r rrr
| Prof. Sheldon says the daily school
| near Cork has had the effect of per-
ceptibly raising the average of butter
| in the south of Ireland. A number OF
| Young women have been well drilled
in the principles of butter-maklng in
| that valuable institution, aud these in
/ turn have carried the reform into the
| localities in which they live. The spir-
it of emulation is extending, and the
people are beginning to take pride in
their dairy work.
Reports received from fifty OF the
one hundred cattle ranges on the
Cherokee strip, the great cattle belt OF
the west, show that the results Of the
severe storms of the winter have not
been so disastrous as were anticipated
and loss of less than II per cent. OF
through cattle have died thus far
With the wintered cattle ii has no
been so serious, the death rate among
them being below 3 per cent.
The business of associated butter
making, by the cream.gathering sys
tenn, is rapidly extending in Connect
cut Severa. new enterprises of thu
kind are being organized, and other
still are being talked up. The South
ington creamery reports the averag,
net earnings per COW, for the year 1884
to have been S64, the gross process be
ing $40 per COW, short of SIS per Gov
for expenses.
, The farmers Of the interior o
West Virginia are truly afflicted. 4
heavy loss of stock by the great search
ty of food and the extreme cold is nov
followed by ravages by wolves, which
infest the Elk and Greenbrier noun
tains, ard by eagles. A flock Of eagles
have carried off sheep and other small
STOCK to the value of 81, 900 in Unior
. district, Clay county.
The making OF good mixer de
ponds not only in the ability of the GOV
: to produce milk at minimum cost
but essentially, also, in the training
} not only TO develop these qualities t
the highest degree. Proper feeding i
necessary, and of fully as much valu,
will be the training that induces reli
ance upon the feeder and mixer, ant
absence of fear.
