SOME PRACTICAL MATTERS.
Hints to Butter Makers and How to Handle
MIX and Cream.

KIND EDITOR AND HOWARD FRIENDS 4:
When sisters "Zuceg," "Nant" and
Agnes" had the butter question under
discussion last summer | wanted to give
my views upon the subject and fully in
tended to do so, but want of time, how
ever, prevented.

for market and while We made the most
we had none of the modern conveniences,
but kept the milk in stone pans in the
cellar and used a dash churn. A few
years ago bought swing churn and

which 1 submerge by pumping
it full of water. Milk standing
thlrty-six hours will not sour if water in
the creamer is changed once day, even
i'll the hottest weather. | can keep the
cream sweet longer and therefrom make
better butter by this process.
am DEPRESSING; l wish to give few
hints TO beginners. Wash ali vessels used
about the milk thoroughly and scald
them often. Do not let milk stand too
long before it is SKINNED. Use tin
bucket or sweet stone jar to keep cream
in, with tight-ftting lid. Skim some
milk both morning and evening in warm
weather, TO add to what is already in the
cream pail, and stir TO mix it.
When the cream is just begin
ming to turn sour it makes the best
and most butter. Buy thermometer
and test the temperature of your cream.
After few times use you will learn the
exact temperature to churn 10 have solid

kept, say two or three weeks, think it
best to not put any water about it. as it
will get strong quicker than unwashed,
provided the milk is all worked out. The
working of the butter is one of the most
important points. When taken from the
churn, il very soft, do not work, but set

third working will improve IL If done right.
Press the butter latle down with energy
and give IL a quick turn, don't pat or
smooth over the top much until you are
ready to make in rolls or pack in Jar; If
the latter stamp it down with q potato
masher or what is better a stamper about
twice as large, put cloth on top and one
inch of salt on top of cloth. This will ex-
clude the air and keep the butter sweet

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Calico VI. Ecclesiastical Authorities.
 Editor of Neacs:
 In the last of the interesting course
 of lectures under the auspices of the
 Scientific society the able and eloauent
 lecturer on the steam engine took occa
 sion to allude to the we'll known case of
 Calico, intimating that the attitude of
 the ecclesiastical authorities of that day
 was that of ignorant and unreasoning
 hostility to all scientific progress. Now, Sir, with your permission, I
 will make few statements, which I be-
 lieve to be undoubted facts, opposed to
 that view. In the first place Coperni-
 GUS, who lived in the 18th century and
 was himself an ecclesiastic, was reward
 ed with canonry for his scientific dis
 coveries As is we'll known he promul-
 gated the theory that the sun is station ary and that the planets revolve around 1t, Prior to him Nicholas of Cusa.
 (of l464) Cardinal, had been the recipient of honors, from the ecclesias- tical authorities. for discoveries in the same direction made by him. In regard to Calico (16l5) there are certain facts that should not be overlooked In the first place, he was opposed not only by ecelesiastics but by the learned men of science of that day; his theory was not proved at that time and could not be proved until the discovery of the law of gravltation by Newton, some years later. l read in the American Cyclopaedia (Ar, Galilto) tEat when Galileo's teachines were first laid before tie Inquisition that tribunal ref sed to act, remarkiue that by coDfning himself to the demon, stration of his system scientifically and letting the Scriptures alone he would be secure from molestation. Later in the same year when his case was consid cred by the Inquisition the decision reached was that he was forbidden to teach that the Copernican theory wss Ian actually grounded hypothesis" bu, he was permitted to use his hypothesis. as highly probable scientifically, as a clue to fresh scientific results. He had an audience of the Pope, who assured him of his protection, and he then re- turned to Florence. his native place. On the accession of bis friend Cardinal barberini to the papacy, as Urban VIII. l he felt encouraged to violate this. all things considered, not unreasonable in. Junction, and was thereupon obliged to ab]ure his opinions He was only i'm. prlsoned for four days, but for tue rest of his life was kept under surveillance
 An eminant theologian of that da, 'ald that if Galileo's theory could b. proved, the Church would have no hes. tation in interpreting the Scriptures I. e. the narrative of Joshua's miracl-) n harmony with it.
 While it is true that Calico suffered ome persecution Drought upon him. elf largely by his lndiscretion and pnu. lacity) It Is also true that he received lonors and emoluments in reward for discoveries and inventions. D. Dc.w. Canaan, Feb'y l6, 1891.
