HOW TO sALr BUTTER.

Perhaps everyone who has ever
made butter has been troubled with
this at some time. The cause of the
mottled condition which is frequently
seen in butter is disputed one, yet it
is simple enough after all. As we all
know, salt affects the color of butter.
All butter takes on O deeper hue when
it has been salted n few hours. Take
lot of butter from the churn in a
mass, salt it in streaks by cutting
down through it with he ladle and
scattering salt freely where the ladle
went, let it stand half day before
working, and you will see q good il
lustration of mottled butter. In
few words the explanation is this:
Mottled butter is caused by the uneven
distribution of salt, nothing more or
less. To avoid this the following plan
is an excellent one, and one which is
followed by many of our best butter
makers to-day: Leave the butter in
granules, wash with water cold enough
to prevent adhesion, drain and salt
while still in the churn, then revolve
the cburn or tip from side to side un-
til the butter globules mass somewhat
and the salt is evenly distributed. By
tipping the churn one way, then the
other, the salt may be very evenly
sprinkled on, or a wooden fork of
suitable size may be used to stir it up,
adding only a portion of the salt at a
time. The sslt melts or dissolves the
moment it touches the grains of but
ter, and each grain is instantly coated
with brine. Then when the butter
has drained few minutes remove it
to the worker, press until moderately
dry and pack away. No further work
ing is necessary and there will be no
trace OF streaks or n mottled condition
to be found. Sailing in the churn is
sure to be n favorite method with
those who try it. The.amount of but.
ter can be very closely estimated, as
the amount from q given quantity OF
cream does not vary very materially
from time to time. Nor is it essential
to weigh out the salt each time. Meas.
uTe out q pound of salt-usually q
pint Of salt will weigh a pound, and il
is more quickly measured than weighed
each time. Some adhere very tena.
ciously to the old way of twice working
their butter, but once is great
plenty. II the salt is evenly distrib
uted and the excess of moisture
pressed out, That is sufficient, and i
can as well be done at one operation
as at two. -Hoard's Dairyman.

TIE CONF As Az INDICATOR.

By watching the appearance of the
comb the health of the fowls may be
easily noted; when the comb looks
white, pale, or black, something is
wrong; great thirst is another sign,
and nervous, restless disposition also
gives warming; sometimes hen will
go moping about with dropping wings,
but with no other signs of sickness
whenever the comb, however, does not
show bright scarlet in color, and the
fowl is not lively, 1t should at once be
examined there is no particular color
for any disease that is indicated by
the comb, as the pale or black de-
pends upon the stage of the disease,
for very often the comb will be pale
and then turn black, but the poultry
man may depend upon his fowls being
in full health when the combs are a
bright scarlet, and especially during
the laying season, as the first sign the
pnllet gives of beginning to lay is the
color of comb. Southern Planter.

A MoAern Alehnmlsl.

A distinguished metallurgist claims
that he has realized the dreams of the
ancients and has discovered the secret
of transmitting silver into gold. The
old alchemists believed that somo sub
stance might bo found by the mere
touch of which the base metals could
be changed into silver and gold.
Modern chemistry shows that the ul-
innate PARTICLES constituting gold, sill
yer, iron, lead zinc and all other
metals are identical in substance, and
that tho different properties of the
several metals depend entirely upon
the different ways in which the parti-
cles OF the common substance are ar
ranged. II is this secret of rear.
rangoment which DR.. Emmens, the
high explosive expert, now snys ho has
fathomed. He claims that tho metal
made by him from silver answers
every test TO which the United States
Government Assay Office subjects the
gold offered there for sale, and that
the metal could be proved to bo gold
in court of law. 1t has every quality
required by the gold of commerce, be.
ing Of the Same color, weight and
strength. It is green by trsnmitted
light and yellow by reflected light,
properties which are possessed by
gold alone. It's resistance to the ac-
tion of either nitric or hydrochlorio
acid alone, and its solution by a mix
ture of these acids are also distin.
gushing properties of pure gold, and
of no other yellow metal. DR.. Em.
mems says he has already made four
ounces of gold from about six ounces
of silver, and that the loss in the pro-
cess is about twenty five per cent.
Should DIR. Emmens's claims be sub.
stantiated an unexpected and striking
solution of the silver question will
have teen reached. Science.

pRssERvrNa corn FODDER.

The great attention paid to ensilage
ought not to lessen interest in keep.
ing and curing corn fodder dry. There
is no cheaper feed that the farmer eau
grow, and will not except even the
same feed cut green and put into the
silo. If corn is cut just as the ears
are glazing, its fodder will be then at
its best, and the grain Will also take
all from the stalks that it would get by
standing longer. So soon as the husks
nredry enough to allow husking easily
the corn should be husked, and the
stalks will then usually be in good
condition for drawing to the farm or
stack. 1t is better to make medium
sized stacks, so that the stalks will not
undergo violent heating. A slight
heating will soften the shell of the
stalk without injuring it in any way.
When freezing weather comes these
stalks will be thoroughly dry, or at
least seem so, and they should'th
be cut with horsepower cutter.
Such machine will put through in a
single day five times as much as man
can do with only hand power, and at
the saving of much hard labor. The
stalks after cutting will heat some
more, and should be watched and
burned with shovel occasionally, so
that the under portions may not mil
dew or blacken. Corn fodder SO pre-
pared will be eaten with little or no
waste. American Cultivator.

Pockets That Lock.

A Chicago firm of wholesale cloth.
iers has invented locked pocket, to
be put in trousers, coats and vests.
The fad has captured male wearers of
clothes and bids fair to become popu.
lar. 1t is an attachment by which
pockets can be locked, and any at
tempt to go through them will be
foredoomed to failure. The manufac.
turers say that they will prevent
pocket picking, and that their univer.
sal use will force every criminal who
practices the art to turn his attention
to some other line OF business.
There are no locks on the locked
pocket, or, at all events, what might
be called lock is keyless. They work
with spring by a combination which
is secret to all but the wearer. Ii
locks with keys are desired they can
be employed, but the danger in such
an event would be that the key
might be locked in the pocket, and a
man would have to go to a locksmitL
if he wanted car fare. Chicago Times.

the last decade has witnessed considerable
Improvement in this respect among the popu-

timist will hardly deny that much remains
to be accomplished. Every influence which
tends to help forward the progress Of so de-
sirable a reformation is therefore TO be well
coined. The moralist may impress his gem

A Marvellous Bottle.

A great curiosity has recently been
brought into England from Monghyr,
in Asia--the Ur of the Chaldees. It
is an ordinary white wine glass bottle
OF unmistakably European manufac-
ture. Finding its way to the Orient,
it fell into the hands of some ingen.
ious Asiatic, who inscribed upon the
interior of the bottle one of the odes
of Hafiz. How this was accomplished
no European has been able to discover.
Not George III. puzzling over the
problem of how the apple got within
the dumpling could have been more
dumfounded.
