Those who consume butter have a very
lively interest in the mode of its manufacture,
it being quite desirable that the best mode
should be adopted, and those who make it are
doubly intereste1 for they not only sell and
desire the largest price, but also eat it as well
as others. 1t would seem from the great
variety brought to market that butter makers
have great diversity of notions about its man
ufacture and adopt different modes and prac-
tices. But there are more wrong than right
ways, at least it would seem so from the sam
pies we see in our markets. No doubt the
right way is a very simple one if it were only
understood. There is no need of making so
many blunders in this department of farm
business.


A correspondent of the st. Adams (Vt)
Messenger gives the public his mode of man
ufacturing butter. st. Albans is considered
the headquarters of butter manufacture and
any information coming from that vicinity is
entitled to consideration. He says:

with pumpkins in the morning; the cream

the cream was then set twenty-iour hours,

thirds full, and the cream rises as well, but In
summer it should be more shallow.


That is well enough as far as it goes. But

tubs and pans perfectly clean; that she watch
es the temperature OF the weather and when
1t it is very warm, looks sharp that the cream
does not give out any bad odors before it is
chnrned. All such things she observes with
serupulou' exactness, for she knows that il
she does not her butter will not be sYeet and
paatable.


1t is a very easy thing TO have dirty milk
room and when milk is kept in such room
the cream that rises upon it win be more or
less impregnated with bad odors that will find
their way into the butter. But the mixers
have duty to perform which has much to
do with butter making. Even cows that
come nom clean pasture-to say nothing OF
those that are kept in the yard or barn all
night, will always have some dirt upon their
flanks and udders which must be brushed of
before milking, or it will drop into the milk
pals. True, the strainer will separate the milk
from the dirt, but no strainer is fine enough to
separate unpleasant odOrs from the milk
That can't be done. Milk is an excellent alb
sorbent of odors, much better than clean
water, and will hold them longer. And it
they once impregnate the milk, they will be
found in the cream and show themselves
more distinctly and unpleasantly in the but
ter.


Now this duty of the milker ought always
to be thoroughly performed. But suppose he
does, and afterwards the milk is strained
through sour, dirty straner into pans that
have not been thoroughly cleansed? The
milk will become more or less tainted and so
will the cream and then the butter. Again,
if all these things are well and faithfully done,
and the milk is set for cream in room
which contains bad smells, it will absorb some
of these from the bad atmosphere and an un-

by that we mean nose unaccustomed to bad

The nose, tongue and palate are given us
for valuable purposes, but their functions
may be abused, corrupted and destroyed.
The noses OF slatterns or slovens may become
so vitiated that thev will not inform the own

be SO vitiated by drinking bad liquor, that

be and often are, badly educated, so that, in
some degree, they are rendered useless.
Cleanliness in butter-makins is indeed great
virtue, and it is impossible in the nature of
things to make swee. butter without it. Let

There is much force as well az
truth in the following paragraph from
the pen Of Rev. Dr. Deemes, albeit il
may be somewhat strongly stated


A man that hath any truth in him

ton, need not much concern himself
as to where he shall speak it. With
what twaddlo about unappreciated
genius are We frequently sickencd |
Young men part their hair in the
middle, roll down their collars, and
go whining among weak school mis-.
ses about the cold world Aud others
dream that if they had ouly such a
position in such city, such an edi.
tors place, such pulpit, such a
theater of display, they would shake
the world. Many young preacher,
in an obscure county parish, has this
temptation. Many a young poet,
who cannot secure a publisher, goes
into this fog. But it is all a mistake
1t is a shrewd old world We have to
deal with, aud it generally knows the
price Of things.


There is little unappreciated genius
little worth keeping that the world
allows itself to lose, and no uttered
sentence worth remembering has ever
been forgotten. The world may APP
preciate some things too his lilly for a
season, but in the long run the value
of all things comes to be ascertained
Go, walk dp and down in the wilder
ness, and say your say, and cry your
cry, and just as sure as the truth is
in it. it will empty the city and fetch
tie people to your voice, or else God
who has most special providence ol

and your cry down in the very heart
of that city, to shake it.

ballOt:-

In this calculation the States OF California
and Nevada are given to Field; the vote of these
states may be cast for Perdleton on the start,
in the hopes of getting that vote for Field wnen
it Ia found that Pendleton cannot be nominated.
Delaware is given to Pendleton, but in the cal
culaton OF the friends of the latter last night,
they did not count Delaware. Those three
States are the only changes of any moment
from the canvass of Pendleton's friends so
far as Pendleon's vote is concerned
The State of Michigan had not decided
last night how they would vote. They are put
down above as divided between Hancock and
RCVerdy Johnson. They are to hold a meeting
this morning and decide how the vote shall be
cast IN the start. There is also some doubt
about portion of Maryland going for Reverdy
johnson, and from these points the above table
will be found TO be substantially the result of
the fist ballot, unless material change is
made by the caucussing last Eight and this
morning


Giving to Pendleton the States OF California
and Nevada, as they claim, and taking from
them Delaware, the vote on the first ballot, in
accordance with the above table, will only vary
one'halt vote from that OF the canvass of tue
Pendleton men. They put it down at ll6%
while those variations in the above table make
it III. The vote for English, Hancock, and
Andrew Jabnson. may vary from the above
the former depending upon how many of the
New England men vote for Chase on the start
and those of Johnson and Hancock upon the
final conclusion of some of the Southern dele
cations.

Dennis Burrell, the colored representative
in the House, from st. John the Baptist, in the
debate yesterday about that section of the

police board power to arrest, and in default
of bail to imprison witnesses, said that having
been freed by act of Congress, he was unwil-
ling now to again sell himself into slavery to
any set of men whatever, even if they were
called policemen-and therefore opposed the
donating of any such arbitrary powers to any
men or set ofmen. Colored men of Louisiana,
this remark from one of your own race should
set you to thinking as to whether you have not
sold yourselves again into slavery to body
of men called the Radical party. Reflect if
whether with your oaths to support the Loyal
League, your solemn obligations to uphold
the Grand Army of the Republic, both organ
izations formed and kept in existence by the
Radical leaders solely tor their own aggran-
dizement, you have not sold yourselves to task
masters harder than those you served before
the war; to men who ask from you more, and
who give you less than ever did the overseer
of the worst ruled plantation in the South in
ante-bellum times. Think then upon this,
use your reason and judge whetheryou should
not at once break these chains so CALLING and
so disgraceful, whether you ought not now,
before it is too late, throw off the yoke of
those men, who, protesting love to you, use
you but for their own selfish purposes; who,
when you have given them what they ask.
your votes, will be unable and unwilling to
pay the promised price for them, and who will
when you can no longer be useful to them,
throw you away like worn out garment.
