THE DAIRYMAN.
Butter That VIII Keen.

An experienced butter maker gives
this method of making keeping butter:
Suppose that when the minute butter
particles begin to appear in the churn
and the buttermilk assumes liquid
character the latter is drawn off by a
spigot or plug. So light are the par
ticles of butter that they all rise to the
top i'll small particles in fine condition.
All that has consequently to be done is
to withdraw the buttermilk from under
the butter. When the buttermillz with
cheesy matter is thus withdrawn the
butter is left behind. Should a little
butter run out with 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 further process the
temperature will be too high by two or
three degrees. To separate the butter,
put ice-cold water into the churn; and
let the butter stand in the water q little
while until its temperature is lowered.
Then the cover can be put on the churn,
and the butter being like marble can be
chuTned for a week. Put in more cold
water, churn for few minutes, and then
draw off the water. 1t will be seen that
the water is white, showing that it con-
tains curdy matter, which is not wanted
in the butter. Put in water two, three,
or four times, and churn till the water
runs off comparatively clear. AS there
is then very little curdy matter in the
butter one of the most important re-
Quisites has been secured. So far the
grain has been preserved, for the butter
has not yet been worked.

strong brine, put it into the churn
with the butter, and let it stand little
while. The result will be perfect salt
ing of the butter sufficiently for the
London and Paris markets. Supposing
it is not salt enough, after the butter
has remained in the brine fifteen min
utes, and the brine has been drawn off,
slft a little of certain quantity of salt
over the butter. Then tilt up the churn
} an end-over- end churn-so as to turn
the butter, and sprinkle it on the other
side with salt. Then give the churn an
other tilt, and sprinkle over the butter
the remainder of the salt. By the SIM
pie movement of the churn the salt Will
mingle with and permeate the butter.
But to manage all this the temperature
of the churn has had to be lowered
The butter, now very cold, has to be
gathered into lump, and so the churn
is worked for fifteen minutes or half an
hour, when the butter will be found
evenly sailed, in three or four humps,
with the brine at the bottom.
The butter is now nearly made-in-
deed, butter thus far made can be pre-
served from June to December and still
sell in the market. All that has to be
done to finish the butter is to take out
the surplus water, and that can be &C
complished by making it into rolls.

Picking Up.


One of the time consuming cares Of
every housekeeper may be described I'M
der the general head of picking-up. She
girls, after the babies in the nursery.
The latter strew the nursery floor with
their blocks, toys, and picture books,
about one baby in hundred being
taught to put it's little properties away
when done with them, while the other
ninety-nine are diligently instructed at
an early age in the art of being waited
upon by their elders. Girls come in
from their pleasant excursions here and
there, flushed, dimpled, sweet as the
rose which laughs in the hedge; but
sweet as they look, they are thoughtless
beyond belief in the matter of making
work for their mothers. A parasol on
the piano, pair of gloves on the music
rack, a hat on the top of cabinet, a
wrap thrown carelessly on the back of
an easy chair, and the young woman
drifts languidly into the dining ON,
quite oblivious that it will take mamma
or the maid good quarter Of an hour to
tidy" the apartment which they have
set awry. Doubtless their intention is
to carry their things to the proper places
themselves, after period of rest, but
she who procrastinates in such an affair
is lost. In putting away ones out door
clothing, ones letters, ones books, it is
the first moment of decision which
counts, the primary indecision which is
fatal. What the young person lazily or
thoughtlessly imposes on somebody
who is older, and by reason of her added
years less able to bear the strain, may
be just the traditional straw beyond
which strength and vigor will endure no
more.
For the good man Of the house we have
always the most elastic federation, yet
we think that too often he binds bur-
den on the shoulders of his wife, which
| frets her unwarrantably, though she
makes no sign of complaint. MY hus-
bands progress through the house"

litter of hats, coats, slippers, newspa-
pers, pamphlets, books, boots, cork
screws, inkstands, reports, collars,
handkerchiefs, etc, etc" He is forever
saying, Dear, do you remember where
you put such or such thing of mine?"
and wondering why his wife has SO in
convenient habit of cleaning things
up.
1t needs only a glance to show that if
everybody were of one mind about put
ting articles at once where they belong,
picking up would be reduced to mini

Use Of Glover Hay.


No forage plant cultivated lis SO val
nable for fodder as clover hay. Well
cured clover hay, cut at the right stage,
is as valuable rs part ration to be fed
with other folders as the Ruch-covete d
wheat bran which so many farmers are
pleased to buy at q cost twice the mar
ket price of the clover hay. When found
mixed with the common grasses of the
farm, as it SO generally is this year, i'd
adds much to the value Oft the hay foE
feeding the common stock of the farm
1t is seldom that clover is found en-
Eirely without mixture with other
grasses, SO that as usually stored in the
barn it is "a we'll balanced fodder, its
hesh-form1ng and heat producing prop
critics being so we'll balanced as to keep
the digestive organs of the animals to
which it is fed in q healthy working
condition, and the coat glossy and hide
mellow, while as a milk making fodder
it has no equal. Sheep are fond of it,
and it fills the place with them Of that
needed appetizer when they are confined
to dry fodder rations. Even the pigs
and the hens can make good use of
chopped clover with their grain and
other feed. SO whatever the stock kept,
clover hay in abundance can be made
profitable, and ought to be more appre-
ciated than it is.
Stable Rules.
The following sound advice, given by
the Sportsman to horse owners, should
be printed on placard, and tackled up
in every stable:
Never allow any one to tickle Or tease
your horse in the stable. The animal
only feels the torment and does not I'M
destand the joke. Never beat the horse
when in the stable, as nothing SO soon
makes him permanently vicious.
Keep horses bedding dry and clean
underneath as we'll as on top. Stand
ing in hot, fermenting manure causes
thrush.
Use the currycomb lightly. When
used roughly, it is q source of great
pain; brushing and rubbing are the
proper means to secure a glossy coat
Let the heels be brushed out every night.
Dirt, if allowed to cake in, causes sore
heels.
When horse comes in from jour
ney. the first thing is to walk him
around until he is cool. The next thing
is to rub him dry. This removes the
dust, dirt, and sweat, and allows time
to recover, and the appetite to return.
Also have his legs we'll rubbed by the
hand; nothing SO soon removes strain.
Let your horse stand loose, if pos
sible, without being tied up in the
manager. Pain and WEAKNESS from a
confined position induce bad habits.

How tn Lander Lace Curtains

Before the curtains are put IN the
wash. tack al around them narrow strips
Of white cotton cloth an inch or two
wide. Dissolve little soda in milk

Let them remain for half an hour, STIR
ring and pressing them occasionally.
Wiring them very carefully-rather
squeezing than wrin ging-wheneve r his
process is to be performed. Place them
in cold water for an hour, then wash
them with soap and warm water. Wash
again in clear water. rather warmer than
the last. Rinse them in bluing water
(only slightly blue, unless the curtains
are very Yellow. Wiring carefully in
clean towels. They are now ready for
starching Take the starch according
to the usual process, but be sure to have
it clear and good, and thin for muslin
and very thin for lace. Thick starch is
utterly destructive to the fine, soft ap-
pearance of the lace. Stir few times
round in the starch, while boiling, a
wax or sperm candle, Or put into it q
small piece Of white wax. If the latter
is used it should be melted and poured
in. When the starch is ready pour half
of it into one pan and half into another.
Dip the curtains in one, wiring them out
wiring again. Over the floor of an I'M
occupied room spread a couple of sheets,
one under the other, for each curtain;
shake the curtain and lay it down
smoothly, the edges Of the cotton cloth
to the edges of the sheet. Pin down the
top and back. The other sides with
them come perfectly straight without
pinning. Leave the curtains dry.
When dry they should not be folded,
but put up at once, Or, if you wish to
put them away for q while, roll them
lightly in loose, soft ROLL and wrap in
blue paper Or cotton (the former is pre-
ferable) and lay them where no weight
will press against them.
Laundry Notes.
A,LTTTLE borax put in the water in
which scarlet napkins and red bordered
towels are to be washed will prevent
them fading.
IT is worth recollecting that the bar
soap should be cut into square pieces
and put into dry place, as it lasts bet
ter after shrinking.
GRAPE may be renovated by thor
oughly brushing all dust from the ma
terial, sprinkling with alchol, and roll

PROBABLY A FOUL MURDER.
a yandalia Brakeman Found Dead and
Robbed of His Watch.

TERRE HAUTE, Nov. o. Especial. AT
an early hour this morning Frank Crews,
a Vandalia brakeman was found in his
caboose in the Vandalia yards here with
bullet hole through his body. The ball
had pierced his heart. At first it was
thought to be a case of suicide as revol-
yer was found on the floor near the body.
Later developments showed that his watch
had been taken and that the chain had been
broken. A portion of it remained hang
ing TO his vest, showing that when the watch
was taken the chain had been broken in
getting it out of his pocket. When the
night caller went to call him for duty he
found the door locked. He unlocked it
and found Crews dead. Every indication
points to a foul murder. Crews had a
companion Mike Sughrue) whose
actions have been rather mysterious,
and suspicion rests on him as prob
ably knowing something about the
affair. He was the last man who went TO
the caboose last night, and as he has
since skipped the town, there is every
reason 10 believe that he is the
last man who saw Crews alive and
probably knows something as TO how he
died. Sughrue was out all night last
night and an examination of his room
shows that he had not entered it. lie
