John Boyd on Butter Making.

Ed. HoARD's DAIRYMAN:-The pa
pers all have you down sick; ! hope
they arc lying, as usual, and that you
are, if not quite well, on fair way to
complete recovery.
received Mr. Chappellier's commu-
nication through your kindness. His
current of cold air over the top of his
milk cans, which are sset IN acater" is
very we'll Of itself, for it is an attempt
at cooling over the top, "a desirable
object to attain, be the means ever so
feeble.) How much better off he would
be if he would only join the Baptists
right out and out, time will tell. Now
my dear boy, we can't any Of US afford
to stand still, but "move on
| have demonstrated to my entire sat
isfaction that there is nothing whatever
in this theory (for it is only theory Of
aeration or oxygenation of milk or cream.
Further [ have demonstrated that the
popular methods of making butter are
not founded on correct principles, but
on false theories and false practice. I
find in my little creamery that to make
the finest favored, uniform butter, the
longest keeping butter, lst, that the
cream should be taken from the milk
when both are perfectly sweet and
without any exposure to the air. I'd,
that the cream thus taken should be
ripencd artjfciozzy in twelve hours, or
less time, without any Exposure to the
al. Sd, that the cream should on no
account be stirred or naired during the
twelve hours Of ripening The latest
device of cream-can is one by which the
good housewife can mix the cream
every time she passes the cream can
without removing the cover; we have no
use for such 4th, that the churning
should be complete in thirty minutes,
by the clock.
The above is my method Of making
butter every day in the year The re-
suit is very uniform product Of fine
favor and Of good keeping qualities. It
sets the variations Of seasons, tempera-
ture and chemical changes at defiance.
It gives the butter maker entire control
of the situation and the result is uni
formity, not accidental or occasional. I
believe | have at last hit upon the most
successful and economical feed for dairy
cattle, within the reach of every farmer
who cultivates the land, and without
going off his own farm to find it. You
may judge of my success when I tell
you we are making one pound af butter
from less than thirteen pounds Of milk,
that is including the milk from the en-
tire herd Of twenty-five COWS, six Of
which are only 2 years old, you will say
"there is more in the breed than in the
feed;" grant that there is. for all that,
not long ago on good pasture we re-
quired fifteen pounds Of milk from the
same cows to make one pound of butter.
now we require twelve pounds and a
fraction Of it. | believe in. both breed
and feed. think | have bored you
enough, SO good night.

The successful play Of partners, ;"
which is the current attraction of the
Chicago Opera House, must be
withdrawn at the close of the present
week, as Manager Henderson, con-
tract with Mr.. Palmer calls for the
presentation of "Our Society" and
"Heart of Hearts. 1t will be re-
membered that the former charming
comedy was the most popular play of
Mr.. Palmer's repertoire during his
last season here. 1t has never been
presented in Chicago during the
regular season, and the coming week
will therefore afford regular theatre
goers the first opportunity to witness
it. It ran six months in New York,
which was about the length of time
it was seen when originally produced
in Paris. It will engage the services
of nearly all the prominent members
of Mr.. Palmer's Company, including
Annie Russell, Maud Harrison, Mrs.
Phillips, May Brooklyn, Mr.. Massen,
Mr.. Ramsay, Mr.. Handysides, and
others. The play will be seen on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
at the Wednesday matinee, when it
will give place to "Heart of Hearts,
which has not yet been presented
here. "Heart of Heart" is from the
pen of Henry Arthur Jones, the au-
thor of "Silver King and "Saints
and Sinners" It was originally pro-
duced at the Vaudeville Theatre,
London, and ran the season out. It
was presented for three months in
New York, and was only withdrawn
to admit Of the appearance of Mr..
Palmer's Company in Boston to fill a
contract which he had previously
made with the management Of the
Park Theatre there.
