Butter Making on the Farm. To make good butter it is necessary to understand its true organization, and then to'so handle it as to preserve it in its nor- mal condition. If we destroy the normal condition of anything we invite decay, and that soon follows. The only true butter is that which is brought out of the milk in its granulated form. To do this requires the best of care from the pasture to the manu- factured article rel-de for the table. We then begin with the treatment of the cow. Give her good sweet grass or clover and water that is pure either of running brook or drawn from a well. Never let her drink pond water or from pools by the roadside. ‘ There is more importance attached to the matter of pure drink for milch cows than is generally believed. Drinking impure water will deteriorate the quality of the milk and butter. Have a comfortable stable in which to feed and milk them, and keep clean and well ventilated so that no odor of the stable may attach to the milk. It is better when milking in a stable to keep the milk bucket outside of the stable and carry the milk to it as it is drawn from the cow in smaller vessels. If the cows come in wet with rain let them drip for a few minutes, and then rub off with a cloth lest some drop of "sin from their bodies might find its way nto the milking vessels, thus taking every precaution to keep it pure until you get it into the house. Now, the course of treat- ment is very important. Never set warm milk in the creamery or cellar or milk room, but set it in cold water until all the animal heat is out. By using diary buckets you will find it very convenient to do this, using common Wish-tubs and cold well water. The dairy buckets hold from two and one half to three gallons, and it is best to put all your milk in one bucket. if you can do so. If you get two or three gallons of milk at one milking put it all into one bucket. If you get from five to six put it in two and cool it in tubs of water, and then set it in the milk trough, creamery, or cellar. In this way it will keep sweetmorc than twice as long than if the animal heat were allowed to pass out slowly. There it scarcely any farmer who has not the facilities for this plan. Abau. don all crooks and pans. They are a nuisance and a burden to work with. You will get more butter from the deep setting and have fewer vessels ,lo wash, and you can carry a three gallon bucket of milk with one hand, while it takes two to handle a pan with one half gallon in it. Only one bucket to wash for three gallons of milk, whereas it will take three or four crooks foLthe same quantity. Use tin vessels to skim the cream in, not jars; stir the cream every time you skim a bucket of milk. As soon as the cream ripens churn it, but not too much. This is where nearly all butter is ruined,aud beat- en into apssty mass of grease, not deserv- ing the name of butter. Have a churn from which you can draw oil the milk leaving the butter in the churn. Churn the cream a few minutes until all the thick milk is broken, then have a small strainer to catch the cream as you let it oil into the cream bucket, thus straining out any curds that might fail~to break while churning. As the process of churning is not continued very long in making granulated butter, some of the harder curds might not break up sufficiently to run 05 when the butter is washed,and should they remain in,the but- ter would sour and spoil. hence the need of straining the cream after it is well stirred. After straining the cream return to the churn and continue churning until the butter appears in very small granules about the size of coarse sand. Be sure and have the temperature below sixty, or no higher atleast. To get this 'emparature in sum- mer, set your cream bucket in cold water as you do your fresh milk. thn the granules appear then stop churning. Pour in a quantity of cold water to thin down the' buttermilk, 0 it will readily run off. Now open the hole at the bottom of the churn and hold the little strainer under it to catch the granules, throwing them back in the churn, as they fill up the strainer. As soon as the milk is all out, pour in a bucket of cold water, drawing it oif as be- fore, and then another until the water runs off clean. Now put in the saltâ€"a good quantityâ€"foryou can’t oversalt granulated butter. It will not take it in, but will melt and run ofl'as the water did. Now, with hand or paddle prepared press this mass together and every particle of water will press out of it. and leave it a. solid butter, more the consistency of putty than grease. If you find it difficult at first to pack it with a butter paddle you can prepare the hand to mold it in the butter mold. Wash the hand well with sweet clean soap, then plunge into cold water until cold. Granulated butter never sticks to the hand or churn or anything else. It never needs working as there is no Water in it, and the salt being mixed in it while it is in granulated form it needs no further mixing. Churning butter until the granules are broken and stick to- gether and then Worked after that, to mix the salt, and take out the water makes nothing more than a mass of grease. When the granules are broken then the greasy part comes out, and will adhere to whatever it touches; hence it gathers in large lumps and renders it difficult 'to thoroughly mix the salt and bring out the water, to do which ruins the butter. You will notice I have used the term granule, not globule. Butter is often churned until it forms in small shot like globules, espec- ially in the large churns of creameries where no dash is used, but this is churned too much. The little granule is its normal state, as it exists in the cream, as it is taken from the cow, and if that is kept intact you th-n get true butter in its natural organization. If you break that you spoil its consistency. ' Grinulat prints in bk its form v AGRECULTURAI i butter can be molded in hottest weather,&ud will keep Men the over-churned butter iuwu in the dish, pkwing them temperature. ‘Ize linle film I have sometimes illustrated my meaning in this way : Supposing we had a. number of eggs with the shells removed and thei thin lining of it. left intact. you can pile them up and they will stay. but as soon as this skin is broken they come down in a sticky mass. 30 when the granules are broken, they will soon melt down when in a warm temperature. If sufficient heat is applied to the granule it bursts and lets out. the grease, and so the cream should never be subjecbed to a. heat. strong enough to do this, hence the ruin of butter by putting hot. water in the churn. By the I plans given above the labor of caring for1 the milk is much lighter; the churning is much shorter; the printing of the butter may take a. little more time, but it. is more ' than compensated by the shortening of the churning process, but; the greatest, compenâ€" sation is the article manufactured. 1t isv always acceptable in the markets. (- l I ..._, 7r ,, I have mnnufactured butter for forty years, and though giving general satisfac- tion to my customers. was never fully sut- isfied myself until I worked on this plan. I haw a first-class butter-worker which I used to use, but now have no use for it, as my butter never needs working. There is only one place my butter gives more trouble than that, manufactured in the old way, and that is when used for making cake. It has to be beaten much more, as in has not been beaten by me churning or the butter- worker, . . n 1 Any person who has tubs and a good wail can make good butter if they have no other ‘ facilities for keeping it cool except, to change I the water twice a. day. My creamery, ‘ though home-made, is the best arrangement; I have ever seen. In some future time I may give plans for that which any farmer can make for himself. How to Drench a Horse. In the farmer’s stable, where drenching bits and suzh improved appliances are not, at hand, the ordinary Way of giving a. horse medicine is to pour it, into his mouth from a long necked bottle. There is in this more or less danger of his breaking off with his teath and swallowing pieces of glass. Instead of pulling his head up with the halter rope and trying to keep it still with your hand, put, on an ordinary bri die with long reins attached to the bibrings, pass the reins over something firm overhead, such as a. fork handle laid across a feed hole, ora. ring in the floor sleeper, and bring the horse up so that his head will be directly under it. Stand on a box or chair on his near side, so you will be within easy reach of his mouth when his head is raised; take the loose end of the reins in your lelt hand and by pulling them gently down the pressure of the bit, Against; his upper jaw will raise his head gradually until high enough to prevent the liquid from running out. the corners of his month, which he will then open and begin to work his tongueâ€"left free for him c0 swallow. With the right, hand pour the liquid into his mouLh at the corner, and usually you will hear him swallowmg, Should be absolutely refuse to swallow. confine his nostrils for a moment with the hand, and in his effort to get, his breath he will forgen to hold on to his mouthful of medicine. If the dose is large, or he takes slowly, do not, tire him by keeping his head up [00 long. Ease up with your left hand and treat, him very gently. Carefully managed, not a. drop need be lost in drench- ing the most fractions horse. Live Stock Notes. Don‘t guess about the amount of feed your stock requires.

The horse or cow that is kept in semi-darkness not only suffers pain when brought out into the bright light. but is liable to suffer in health. Sunshine is the best. disinfectant known. The feet of young horses are often per- muuenb‘ly injured by standing upon imper- fectly conscructed floors, floors which are too hard or not kept clean. “No foot, no horse," say the English. A filthy floor will not, make a sound foot. There is much carelessness in Lhis regard. Slleep that are not well fed through the Winter will not be of much sabisfactlon to the shepherd at lambing time. For every dollar that is saved by scrimping the sheep now, you will lose two in Lhe spring. That, is an imeresb that of agriculture can not. afiord to pay. Ou the lat. of May, 1895. there will be. opened at. Amsterdam, Holland, 3 unique exposition, to be known as tha “Inter. national Exposition of Hotels and Travell- ing Accommodations.” The promoters oi this exposition claim that nothing on the same line has ever been attempted before. The object is to have a complete display of everything relating to hotel ecoommo- detiona and transportation facilities. The exposition will not be confined strictly to these lines, but will include all other de- partments necessary for a first-class fair. The principal object of exhibition in the hotel and transportation line will he plans and furnishings of hotels and cafes, build- ng materials, plans and models of ships, plans and models of railway construction, and furnishings of hotels and cafes, build- ng materials, plans and models of ships, plans and models of railway construction, railway carriages, construction of engines, electric, steam, and horse cars, carriages, omnibuses, and vehicles moving by power other than horses, bicycles and their con- structioa, steamships and shipbuilding, models of electric ships, balloons for topographical and military purposes, and captive balloons. ’I‘he exposition, while it is not being backed by the Dutch Gov- ernment financially, has received the Queen's royal sanction.
