An Item in Butter Making.

John Gould, whose opinions are
worth reporting, says that it is a
mistake to suppose that sour cream
makes more butter from the cream
than sweet. SOuring adds nothing
1t simply assists the cburn to re-
cover more fat from the cream. In
sweet cream the emulsion Is per
feet. If sweet cream is diluted
about three times its bulk IN water
at eighty degrees, and allowed to
rise a second time, the difference
between the amount of sweet and
sour cream butter will be incOn-
siderable, showing that sOurlng the
cream is, after all, only another
way of liberattDg butter fats from
the combined sugar, cheese and
ibrin emulsion. 1t was asserted
By the late Professor Arnold that
the adding of a small amount of
pure cider vinegar to sweet cream
Just as the churD started wOuld
cause all the fats TO come.

RAISING CALVES.

In Galloway and other pastoral
districts were the calves are al
lowed to suckle, the people are so
much welded TO their own Gus
toms as to Argue that sucking is
much more nutrinve to the calves
than any other mode of feed ng.-
That sucking induces a greater
secretion of saliva, which, by pro-
noting digestion, accelerates the
growth and fattening of the Young
animal, cannot be doubted but
the secretion of that fluid may
likewise be promoted by placing
an artificial teat in the mouth OF
the calf and giving it the milk
slowly, and at the natural ten.
perature. In the dairy districts OF
Scotland the dairy maid puts one
OF her fingers into the mouth OF the
calf when it is fed, which serves
the purpOSe of a teat, and viii
have nearly the same effect as the
natural teat in inducing the score
ton of saliva. If that or an artl
fetal teat of leather be used anC
the milk given slowly before 1t II
cold, the secretion of saliva may
be promoted to all the extent tina
can be ut ceSSary.
According to the comparative
experiments of German agricul
turiSt, COWS which as calves ha(
been allowed to suckle their dams
from two to four weeks brCugh
calves which weighed only from
thirty.fve to forty.eight pounds
while others, which as calves ha(
been allowed to Suckle from five t
eight weeks, brought calves weigh
ing sixty to eighty pounds. 1t II
difficult to see how there can be 81
great a difference, if there is any
but it may be worthy of careful Oh
ServatiOn and experiment, and a!
such il is stated IN this connection
The increased size of the calf TOulC
be due TO the larger size to which
the COW would attain and If as
calf she were allowed to run will
her dam in the pasture four or five
months, taking all the milk sht
wanted, she would be kept grow
ing on in a thriving condition.
But taking a calf from the COW al
four or even eight weeks must
check its growth TO some extent
and this may be avoided to some
extent by feeding literally and
bringing M by hand.

not, nor has there been any indl-
cations of its return since.

Good Temper and Good Nature.

These two invaluable social
qualities may to many persons
seem absolutely synonymous. Were
iU so, or were they frequently
cOnjOned, the happy pOssessor
would then be the very best OF
good fellows, and moreover would
have made very important
advance in Christian perfection.
UnhappiIy these two points OF
perfection are separable and their
union, though highly desirable
rarely seen. We may easily dis
criminate between them. Good
nature, is that quality which in
duces us willingly and very gladly
to be useful and agreeable when
ever it may be iD our power to be
charitable to the poor according to
our means, and not to spare trouble
and expense to benefit or oblige
our friends.
| Good temper is contra
distinguished from good nature
land may be defined as the power
of bearing the faults Of others with
out resentment, and the thousand
! ills that flesh is heir to, with cheer
| ful resignation. How many a man
of kind and Obhging disposition
while pleasing and pleased will
blaze like gunpowder on
the slightest contradiction and
often even at the smallest particle
of unpalatable advice be It ever SC
much for his profit or advantage
may at the slightest hint that any
plan or mode of acting or opinion oil
his might belmprOved. He thinks
| it blame if not insult; in short as
the effect Of good nature is to bene
fit others when pleased, so that Of
good temper is to bear the evils OIL
the world.
OF the two most amiable qualities
it Will then appear that good tenn
per, though less attractive, less
snowy than nature, is far the more
estimable quality, bearing wear and
tear. \ quality that accompanies
the posseSsOr in all places and un'
der all ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Quarrels or even reSentmentS-can
bear with the faults of others and
far from feeling offended at well
meant advice or even by merited
reprOOf, will receive the one with
patient meekness. Such one
though not very amusing CON-
paniOn must gain our appreciation,
love and esteem. The good natur-
ed man though inferior to the
other, must also gain much. In
short, the good natured man can
please and confer benefits when
pleased-the good tempered man
can bear and fOrbear and if not
successful in lite, will be the charm
of home, the promoter of peace. II
these two characters, separated,
be each capable of so much good,
what a char N, what a halo of good
ness must surround the fortunate
individual who possesses both.
We have seen that they may
exist separately, we know that
they may also be united, and when
this happens, constant cheerful
ness is the unfailing attendant, aud
blessed is the household contain
