Butter That VIII Keen.

An experienced butter maker gives
this method OF making and keeping butter
Suppose that when the minute butter
particles begin 20 appear in the churn
and the buttermilk assumes a LIQUID char
aGter the latter is drawn off By a spigot
Or plug. So light are the particles Of
butter that they al rise 10 the top in
small particles in fine condition. All
that has consequently to be done IS TO
withdraw the butterrnilb from under the
butter. When the battermllk, with its
cheesy matter is thus Withdrawn the but
ter is left behind. Should little butter
run out of the buttermilk it can be caught
in a strainer stretched over the pail. By
the churning process the temperature is
necessarily raised TO one which will allow
the butter to gather together. But for a
further process the temperature will be
too high by two Or three degrees. To
separate the butter, put ice-cold water in
TO the churn, and lot the butter stand in
the water little while until the tempera-
ture is lowered. Then the cover can be
put or the churn, and the butter being
like marble can be churned for a week.
Put in more cold water, churn for a few
minutes, and then draw off the water. It
will be seen that the water is white, show
ing that it contains ourdy matter, which
is not wanted in the butter. Put IN water
two, three Or four times, and churn until
ths water runs off comparatively clear.
AS there Is then very little curdy matter
ia the butter, one Of the most important
requisites has been secured. So far the
the grain has been preserved, for the
butter has not yet been worked.
The uayt Draoosc IS tha saItipu NToEn
a strong brine, put it into the churn with
the butter, and let it stand little while.
The result will be perfect sailing of the
butter sufficiently for the London or Paris
markets. Surprising il is not sailed
enough, after tbs butter has remained in
the brine Is minutes, and the brine has
been drawn Off, sift little of a certain
quantity Of salt over the butter. Then
tilt up the churn-an end-over end churn
so rs to turn tho butter, and sprinkle it
On the other side with salt. Then give
the chucn another tilt, and sprinkle over
the butter the remainder Of the salt. BY
the simple movement of the churn the
salt will mingle with and permeate the
butter. Bat TO manage all this the tenn
persture Of the churn has had to be low
cred. The butter, now very cold, has 30
oS Sabhereo Anto luln p, anu SO Inc cnuFn
is worked for Is minutes or half an hour,
when the butter will be found, evenly
sailed in three OR four Jumps, with the
brine at the bottom.
The butter is now nearly made-indeed,
butter thus far made can be preserved
from June to December and still sell in
the market. All that has TO be done to
finish the butter is 10 take out the sur plus
water, and that can be accomplished by
making it into rolls.

THE FARM AND HOME
THAT VICIOUS OLD BUCKET.
DETROIT FREE PRESS.

How fresh in my mind are the scenes of my
childhood,
As fond recoliections present them to view
The COW stall. the pig pen, the ten cords of fire
wood,
ALI the tough chores that had TO go through
The weeds in the garden, the stones in the stub
bic,
The errands to run and the white beans to
shell;
And (when I'd already surplus of troublel,
The bucket that yiciously dropped in the we'll
The rotten-roped bucket, the iron bound bucket,
The COMPOUNDED bucket that dropped in the
wen.
After trudging all day in the wake of harrow,
The team | must water ere getting my grub;
Cross, footsore and tired clear into the marrow,
I'd seize on the windlass to fill up the tub,
So downward the bucket demurely neandered,
And then with hard Juggling it rose from the
WELL
But ere 1 could dump it the rope had disbanded,
Then with grapples and .'creepers'' and ike
deliberations,
bent over the well like a capital a,
And mingling my tears with devout, inyocatioas,
sprinkled them down as l angeled away.
How it caught and slipped off-and at last
caught securely!
pulled with joy that my words cannot tell;
And Rugged. not from love, but to hold it more
surely,
The mud-covered bucket that rose from the
well
The slippery old bucket, the rotten-roped bucket,
The mud-coverad bucket that rose from the
well.

y Rift nf W;sdom

There is a quaint Arabian legend which
tells Of the pilgrimage To Mecca of Two
devout followers OF the Prophet. Abouk
journeyed on fooS; Selim was mounted on
a camel. At nightfall both the pilgrims
had reached spring Of water in the
desert, where grew a few palm trees.
They prepared to spend the Ilighu togeth-
er. ''Ir is & long aud tedious journey
said Aoouk. 'On the contrary, If is short
and pleasant" answered Selim;" I was
cheered by Z mirage on the horizon,
wherein I saw the spires and temples Of
the Holy City" s'There was no mirage,
no Holy City to be Scent" engrily declared
Abouk; s'thsre were, instead, legions of
venomous ants il the sand, that bit and
poisoned my fesb.'' "Not single ant
was On the desert" reioined Selim. The
two pilgrims were qusrrelingF fercely,
when good priest also journeying to
ward Mecca, came up. he listened to
them patiently. "Peace, my brethern,''
he said, at last; 'let Us leave these ques-
tions until tomorrow night to decide.
In the meantime, let Salim 60 on foot,
and Abouk ride the camel" They con-
sented to this exchange of places. On
the next night it was Abouk who had
seen the glorious visions, and found the
journey pleasant, and it was Salim who
had baen bitten by the ants. "My
brothers, said the priest, "we are all 60
ing 10 Mecca, whether we walk or ride;
but SaliO can not see Shas Abouk sees
unless he stands where Abouk stands. It
is well to change places occasionally

extra fodder, over and above a good
maintenance ration, which will give the
full product. a ration less than this will
effect the fleece somewhat, but the AMI
NAL will suffer much more in flesh than
in wool.
Every man who keeps sheep has lead
ing idea of doing so, says the National
Stockman. One mans great aim is to
produce wool, making tbs sale of mutton
incidentally; and there are more sheep
herds who work on this basis than any
other. With another the object is to
produce mutton, giving wool g second
place in tbs consideration. Still another
makes both wool and mutton subservient
to the idea Of raising lambs for market
These special drives are all right; but the
common-sense idea is not only to look
after the specially aimed at but to keep
all others IN view. Putting a fine lot of
6eeces on the market once a year Is by
no means incompatible with at the same
time having prime lot OF mutton ready
to help ont the income. And when get
ting up bunch Of choice mutsons il is
well TO keep in mind that the coat they
carry can as easily BIS made valuable IS
worthless. In short, common sense di-
reefs that 10 source OF flock returns be
overlooked.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1888-10-04

they came in contact. It was like a
drgught of air across an iron radia-
tor.
Mississippi River, this tile-ike surface
has been broken up and fields CT corn
have taken the place of buffalo grass.
The soil now not only holds the rainfall
but the fields of growing crops, especially
corn, protect the earth from the constant
burning rays of the sun and generates
GOODNESS as well as moisture.
As yet che area OF agriculture has
stretched only limited distance west,
and toward the south il is put stop to
by tse Indian territory. That territory
remains n its primal condition, and to-
gether with the Panhandle of Texas, con-
stltutes vast radiating surface, over
which the prevailing winds of summer
pass, and then strike the southern border
of Kansas. Here they come in contact
with growing crops, especially of corn
and they burn and wither these up until
the sirocoo becomes cooled by passing
over the artifcially tempered area. Ao-
cordingly this summer the hot winds
seem 80 have traversod only the western
and southern portions of Kansas, there
structive force before reaching the nor
thern and eastern tiers of counties.
If this theory is correct. ana as have
said, it seems founded both on expert
ence and reason, the conclusion is evil
dent that there will be no permaae25 stop
put to these burning siroccos, and the
consequent destruction Of a regular
though somewhat decreasing percentage
of Kansas crops, until the indian terri
tory is opened to cultivation and the bak-
ing and radiating surface to the south
and west broken up. As it is, Kansas is
still the pioneer state, with the old tile
colored plain stretching out beyond it
Farmers OF southern and western Kan
sas occupy, therefore, much the position
OF permanent front rank in the line of
battle sure always 60 geG the fire. Be-
hind them rest in security the northern
tier of counties of the state and the ad-
joining state of Nebraska.

SEVENTY-FIVE MILES AN HOUR.
The English Fashion for Getting Speed Out
of an Engine.
Pail Mall Budget.

"What is the limit of speed?" "There
is none," replied Sir Edward; II don'i
see why you shouldn't 60 hundred miles
an hour if you had express lines =
through lines-that is, without goods and
slow passenger trains crawling over
them"
Mr.. Watkln, DR., as a man of greater
experience in this particular matter, OBJ
served that the attainment of such a
speed would be prevented by the diff
cause" said he, "the higher you drive the
engine above certain speed the more
the back pressure is"
"What was the highest speed Travelled
to-day? Seventy two?" queried Sir Wat
kin. 'No," was our practical mans re-
ply; mot more than sixty-fve. Any
speed above sixty miles an hour is got on
road with falling gradient. They
could have gons beyond sixty FIVE to-day,
bat there was no need-there was no lost
time to make up. They kept level
speed all the way, but they had steady
traia and an easy load, only four car
riages; and running with light train
like that, you are running under the best
possible conditions"

the vehicles the same length, the same
weight, and all coupled well together.
that was the case to-day, and L never ex-
perienced easier running" II remember
well" the veteran went on to say, ''when
was boy of eleven, ct the opening of
the Liverpool and Manchester railway,
when poor, deer old Huskisson was killed
at RainhiiI, did George Stephenson came
down with one of his engines to Man
chester to get doctors, and l remember
t1e Manchester papers next day said,
marvellous to relate the engine bearing
Mr.. George Stephenson coming into
Manchester, attained the extraordinary
speed Of thirty-four miles an hour That
was looked upon as a marvellous thing III
those days"
as there no additional danger IL these
seventy miles an hour trains compared
with slower trains?"
sOh, there's no danger III seventy miles
an hour at all, except in crossings and
sidings, and not there if the points are
kept properly cleaned aud oiled You
may 90 rhroggh station with great
many points and crossings safely, hut if
the points are not property kept clean
and oiled you may go win bang into
something that sticks. So in all these
trains there should be very great care
about points and crossings"

TOM CORWIN.
An Orator Who Held His Audiences in Pelting
RainSS0rmS.


RainSS0rmS
Scribner's for August
Soon after reached Indiana 1 heard a
good deal about Thomas Corwin, then
prominent Wing member of Congress
from Ohio. OF Mr.. Corwin it is not too
much to say that in wit, in humor, and
general kno Wedge; in ready command
of language; in voice, in mobility and
expressiveness of features; in aII the
requisites for fascinating and effective
stump oratory, he has without an equal.
Men would travel twenty or thirty miles
to listen to the matchless orator and even
his political opponents could not help
joining in the applause which his
speeches never failed to call forth. His
memory was not only perfect store
house of historical facts, but also of an.
ecdotes and stories.
1t was worth g sabbath days journey"
to hear "Tom" Corwin (as he was ia.
miliarly called) tell story. No matter
how frequently heard, it was always made
fresh and racy by his variakle and in
imitable manner of telling IL. While the
attractiyeness of bis speeches WAS in no
small degree attributable to his extra
ordinary control of the muscles OF his
face, which were always in accord with
the sentiments he was expressing and
the anecdotes he was relating,
and to his charming voice they
were never lacking in eloquence or force.
He had always something good to say,
and he never failed to be instructive as
well as fascinating. His power over
popular and promiscuous assemblies was
immense. Plain farmers would not only
travel long distances to hear him, but they
would stand for hours under the burning
sun, or in pelting rain, seemingly obi.
vious of rything but the speeches by
which their attention was absorbed. Nor

LETTERS from the stricken yellow fever
section ere fumigated IN novel way, so
| there is q little CO nc chance for the
disease being brought northward. The
letters are all stopped when they reach
| the quarantine lines. Each letter Is put
under machine with long arm attach
ed, and this is provided with little teeth
punctu1ed at the ends. 4 power that is
used for fuuignatiGg purposes Is forced
| through the arm and down through the
teeth. The arm comes down on each let
ter, and while the little teeth are perfor-
at;ng the letter the power is blown in
between the sheets detecting the letter
thoroughly. Then il is forwarded TO the
person to whom it is addressed. Some
COM plant has been heard OF damage &c
letters, but so long as they remain legiblt
a little Disagreement should be welcomed
as proof of protection.
