THE HERO OF KHARTOUM,
THE DIARY OF GENERAL GORDON.


BOSTON, June 2i.-The journals of
Gen. Gordon at Khartoum will make
8 vo. volume of over 800 pages and will be
published by lIoughton, Miflln q Co. of
this city on Tuesday next, June 30. The
book will contain an etched portrait of
Gen. Gordon, two maps and thirty illus
trations, reproduced in fac simile from
sketches by Gen. Gordon himself He
deals chiefly with the dilatory, hestating
policy OF the home government, the
wOrthleSSneSS of the country and the
natives and the general hopelessness of
the situation. The following are IL few
of the more racy extracts

BUTTER MAKING.-The Wisconsin Dali
rynlan's Association last year offered prizes
for the best essay on butter-making, but the
essays not to exceed 250 words. Competi-
tion was active, and many valuable little
treatises was the result. The first prize was
won by w. Curtis, of Fort Atkinson, and
his easay reads as follows: Select COWS rich
in butter-making qualities. Pasture should
be dry, free from slough holes, we'll seeded
with different kinds of tame grasses, so that
good feed is assured. If timothy or clover,
cut early and cure properly. Feed corn,
stalks, pumpkins, ensilage, and plenty of
vegetables, in winter. Corn and oats, corn
and bran, oil-meal in small quantities. Let
COWS have only such water as you would
drink yourself. Gentleness and cleanliness
should be shown in managing cows. Brush
the udder to free it from impurities. Milk
in clean barn, we'll ventilated, quickly,
cheerfully and with clean hands and pail.
Seldom change mixers. Strain milk while
warm; submerge in water 4S0. Open set
ting co.. Skim at - hours; at 24 hours.
Care must be exercised to ripen cream by
frequentstirrings keeping co. until slight
ly sour. Better have one COW less than he
without thermometer. Churns without
inside fixtures. Lever butter worker. Keep
sweet and clean. In churning, stir cream
thoroughly; temper to 6O0; warm or cool
water. Churn Immediately when properly
soured, slowly at first, with regular motion
in 4Oto 60 minutes. When butter is formed
in granules the size of wheat kernels, draw
off the butter milk, wash with cold water
and brine until no trace of butter is left.

ba~ The roots of grass, of fruit trees and
of hoed crops, will go down for four or five
feet in search of food if they have oppor-
tunity. They cannot thrive below the wa
ter line, which lies very near the bottom of
the drain. If the drains are but eighteen
inches deep, that is about the limit of the
pasture ground of roots. If the drains 60
down three feet the area of soil that will
furnish food for the crops is nearly doubled.
The cost of draining to that depth is but a
little more since the ditch grows narrower
as we 60 down. The cost of the tiles and
the trouble of laying is the same, whether
the ditch is eighteen inches or four feet in
depth. But if the cost were doubled in MAX
ing deep drains, it would be a penny wise
and pound foolish" piece of business to have
the shallow drains, for the sake of saving
the expense of the last half of the neces-
sary digging. Tile draining is a perma-
nent Investment, and the tiles, if properly
laid, will clear the soil of water three feet
deep, as thoroughly as they will clear it
eighteen inches deep. The differencein the
results is great, and the cost is small.
