Butter-making as a Business.

In recent number we noticed the fact
that Messrs. Leavtt & Bisoee. who purchas-
ed the John Cover farm on the road TO
Pennington Falls, were intending to erect
creamery and purchase cream from the farm
ers in the surrounding towns. The building
has been erected. and we had the pleasure
of inspecting it and of learning somewhat
of the art of fancy butter making
The building is 3Oxi0 feet and il situated
on knoll so that there is no lack IF drain
age. It is divided into four compartments,
viz, engine room, work room, store room and
ice room.
They send a man out TO collect the
cream from the farmers on two routes, col
lecting on these routes alternate days. When
brought to the factory the cream is put into
.'tempering vat and brought to the re-
CURED temperature, 80 degrees +. From
the vat it is put into square
box" churn with a capacity of 200 gal
Ions. The power is furnished by II three
horse power engine. The average time re-
quired for churning at this season is three
quarters of an hour After the butter has
been sufficiently churned it is weighed to
determine the amount of salt required, and
is then put on the working table" tlat-iron
shaped tilted table with creases to catch the
butteFHlllk ana conduct IL INTO spout through
which it is carried off. After the butter is
spread on the table, the salt is sFrinkied on,
and il is then worked" by means of long
wooden roller worked by hand.
After it has been sufficiently worked" it is
either stamped or put in round ; ID. boxes
for market The working is wholly done by
wooden rolls and paddles, and at no time is
the butter touched by the hand. Great care
is taken to keep everything sweet and tidy,
and running water is freely used to keep the
things washed down.
The make for the month of May was 227sa
lbs, netting the farmers a tritie over $40.
The price paid for cream is . cts, per inch at
present, as measured in a Cooley can, two
inches being required to make pound of
butter.
The proprietors are very gentlemsnly and
pleasant appearing men and evidently mean
business. They are milking thirteen cows of
their own, and have planted twenty acres of
corn which will afford excellent fodder after
the corn has been picked
We wish the gentlemen success, and trust
that the farmers will find il much to their ad-
vantage to patronze them. Pennington

There is reason in everything, but not
every reason given Is true. About washing
clothes, for instance, common sense and the
chemistry of everyday life teach us that GER
tain things must be done, while others may
be left undone. Clothes must be made
clean, sweet, pure and wholesome without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
lsundress. II these objects can be attained,
it does not matter as to what methods are
used and the soap or soap powder no mat
ter what ii is called, that will admit of the
most varied methods of use is the handiest.
Some things. however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the
clothes nd all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self-agitstion, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics and
thus clesnses them from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes, as they can be cleansed
in no other way-and without in any man
ner injuring the fabric. As there is no
royal road TO learning, neither Is there any
easier. surer or safer way of washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease
breeding microbes or bacteris than by using
Pyle's Pearline, and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package.
Above all things. avoid any soap or soap
powder that does not work to best advantage
in hot water.-Amerteaa Analyst, ~ Y.
