IRELAND LONG AGO.


"dE smell Of the wet earth after
the blessed rain
Brings back to me Ireland Ions
When the silver mists were rising
from or an emerald plain
In darling Ireland long ago;
When the grass 10 full Of rici,ness vas
higher than your knee
And the sap was running wildly in every
bush and tree,
Ochone. and every blossom was full Of the
honey bee
In da Ring Ireland long ago!
The smell Of tn. wet things after the Bit
ter drought
Brings back to me Ireland long ago.
When all the streams were running and
the hawthorn was out
In darling Ireland long ago:
When the mountain peaks stood purple
above the wisps Of cloud.
And the honey thrush and blackbird sang
their dewy songs aloud.
And the trees drip-dripped with silver TIL
their shining heads were bowed
In darling Ireland long ago.
The thirsty mouths all drinking that were
30 parched and dry
Bring back to me Ireland long ago.
For the land ran an refreshment and was
praising God thereby
In darling Ireland long ago.
When the corn crAke called the night long
In the helds all dewy wet
It isn't the English nightingale could make
my heart forget
Though long Il b and far It d. I'm not
forgetting yet
Ny darling Ireland long ago.

In the course Of two hoars yester-

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON FRIDAY MORNING. MAY a. 1872
BurrER-MAKINc ON THE FARM.

A recent Popular Bulletin OF the
State Experiment Station at Pullman
No. Al gives the following advice:
Butter made from a single herd of
cows in Il small dairy located on the
farm should command the highest
price of any butter on the market.
Where one man has control of all the
process through which the milk goes
from the time it is milked until the
time it is printed as butter. the pro-
duct should be the best obtainable,
if this one man understands the art
of butter-making.
The first essential in making good
butter is good cream. To get this
simply means to take ordinary pre-
cautions regarding clean cows and
barn, clean attendants and utensils;
and then cooling the cream at once
after separating, either by running
it over cooler. or by setting in
running water and stirring. Cream
should not be stored with any sub
stance having an aroma.
Sweet cream churns hard and gives
butter having q fiat taste. To
sour or ripen the cream, first heat it
to about 20 degrees F. (use q ther-
mometer) and let it stand until it
has mild but distinctly acid taste;
or second, add some sour milk or but
termilk (starter) to start the ripen-
ing, at the same time holding it at 20
degrees. The best cream for churn.
ing is that which tests about 30 per
cent. fat after the starter bad been
added.
The temperature at which the
cream should be churned. depends
on the size Of fat gl0bules, hardness
of fat gl0bules age Of cream. amount
Of cream, percentage Of fat in cream,
kind Of feed the COW is getting, and
this cannot be determined except b.
trial. Thirty-five degrees may be
proper on one farm and sixty degrees
on the one adjoining. A good rule
to follow is to have the butter come
the size Of wheat kernels in about
thirty to forty minutes. II It takes
longer, the cream Is either too sweet
or at too low q temperature, or the
churn is too full. II il comes sooner,
the temperature In too high.
While the granules are about the
size Of wheat. the buttermilk should
be drained, the granules washed and
salt added. Then they are worked
together, only enough TO distribute
them evenly. When the churn Is not
