Poor Butter.

The chief cause of Door butter is poor
cream. This may arise from several
causes, small in themselves but yet suffi-
cient to start the work of the putrefaction.
Let il be remembered that rancidity is
putrefaction and putrefaction is the begin
ming OF decay or the preliminary stages.
This NAV not be wholesome or appetiz
ing remark but it is true, nevertheless.
Knowing the fact it is well to consider
carefully the conditions of the milk and
cream and avoid as much as possible
neglect. or conditions which will affect the
sweetness and soundness of either. No
general rule will answer the purpose. as
the milk differs from time to time and the
VARYING in temperature and other sur
roundings are constant. The cream
should be raised as quickly as possible,
and hence the animal heat must be driven
off speedily and the milk cooled. which
hastens the upward flow of the cream AS
soon as the cream is up it should be sep
arated from the milk, as the milk will I'M
dergo chemical changes sooner than the
cream and the atoms of putrefactioD will
faint the cream and carry on the process
in the cream. Cream needs to ''ripen, :"
as it is termed, that is it is found that it
makes better favored butter by sufficient
exposure to the air. The air must be
pure The length of exposure depends
upon the temperature. shorter in summer
and longer in winter, but never long
enough to whey" the cream. By this
term it is understood to be a condition,
when the milk in the cream is so far
separated from the cream as to appear
like whey.
Cream IN this form will not make sound
butter. Salt is used to prevent putrefec
ton, and hence in hot weather it is best to
work and salt butter as soon as possible
after churning. This may be done as soon
as the salt has time to dissolve. Butter
milk left in the butter will putrefv and faint
the butter. It can be worked out easier than
washed out. The working is done best
when the butter is in grains or small
lamps like peas.
The barrel churns put it in this form
and hence we prefer them. They simpll-
ty the process of butter making and work
ing. Experience is the best teacher, aud
the best aids of the dairymen are method
and "pains-taking."

The Deepest We'll in the World

The deepest well in the world is located at
Homewood, Pa. Ii is owned by George
Westinghouse, Jr The average depth of the
Homewoo wells is about 1850 feet. In the
well now drilling everything found of the
nature of gas or water at a depth of 2000
feet was cssed off as unimportant, and the
drill at present is said to be little over 5000
feet below the surface, which would make it
BY all odds the deepest well in the world. A
careful record is being kept, and portions of
each formation encountered preserved. Since
it would necessarially have to be a very pro-
life gas vein to justify such deep drilling, it
is a difficult matter to conjecture the object
that prompts such a work unless it be purely
to satisfy morbid curiosity. There are in
Washington county some wells to depth of
1000 feet, and the only others so far as known
approaching the depth reached by MIR. West
inghouse is an artesian well in France, al
which depth of 500 feet was reached.

Death Of the Last of the Founders OF
the Episcopal Church in Edgetield.

Edmund B. Bacon, Esq, departed this
life on Wednesday, the 23rd of Septem-
ber, 1885. at the residence of his son. Capt.
Edmund Bacon, in spartanburg-in the
eighty-hrst year of his age. The found
ers of the Episcopal Church in Edgefeld
just fifty years ago-were Mrs. Mary
Parsons Carroll, Mrs. Whitfield Brooks,
the Rev. Arthur!T. Wig!all and Edmund
B. Bacon. Esq. Mr.. Bacon donated the
lot upon which the church stands, besides
giving largely otherwise of his private
means towards its erection. AS to his
personal labors in its behalf ior many
years subsequent to its foundation, they
were onerous, unremitting and se't-sscri-
6cing. These two saipted women and
Arthur Wigfall have long been in the en-
joyment Of their reward. And now the
last OF the faithful band-in the commun-
ion of tie Catholic Church, in the conf
dence Of certain faith, in the comfort Of
reasonable. religious and holy hope-has
gone to JON them in Heaven. Aftersuch
noble faith and work in the church mill
sant, he has entered into the joys of the
church triumphant.
Nr. Bacon removed from his native
Edgefeld thirty-four years ago, to Green
vile. where, until few months before his
death, he lived continuously, and where
he enjoyed universal honor and love. He
was ever model Of christian gentleman
and citizen.
And in contemplating such q life asthat
of our venerable and departed uncle, how
sweetly do those words ia upon our ears
from the Apocaiyptic vision: 81 he -rd q
voice from heaven, saying unto me. Write
from benceforth blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord even so saith the Spirit,
for they rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them" And in the Ian
guage of that sublime Burial Service which
consigned him to the earth. well may we
give hearty thanks to Almighty God for
the good example of our departed friend,
in common with all those Thy servants,
who. having finished their course in faith,
now rest from their labors"
