NOTES FOR MAKING SUTTER DUR-
ING COLD WEATHER.
Fifteen Rules if Followed Will Prodstee
Good and Satisfactory Results for the
Farmer -The Necessity of Packing in
Clean. Tidy Packages.
At this season of the year nearly all
the cheese -factories have closed, and
farmers will have a much larger supply
of milk to look after and manufacture
into butter at home. A few suggestions
at this stage, as to- the best methods of
handling this Milk and converting it
into butter, may be timely aud helpful.
1. The cows should be kept in the
stables as soon as the cool weather
begins, and given good nourishing food.
2. Have the stables well ventilated, so
that the atmosphere for milking in will
be pure and wholesome.
8.As soon as the milking is done, the
milli should not be left standing in the
stable or where the air is impure, as it
will readily take in bad odors which will
affect the quality of the butter.
4. As soon as the milking is done, or
when the milk, is it Jeormal heat, 98°, it
should be set for the cream to rise. If
the milk has had tine to cool it should
be heated to the proper temperature be-
fore setting. As the cool weather ad-
vances, ten per cent. of hot water from
1500 to 190° may. be added to advantage.
It will have the double effect of heating
the milk before setting, as well as !acili-
tiding the upward movements of the
globules of butterfat.
5. Shot -gun cans are now, generally
used for setting the milk in; and should
be placed in cold water, about 45° or 50°,
as,sbon as the warm milk is Put in. In
the cold. frosty weather better results
will be obtained by setting the milk in
shallow pans, and Placing them in cold
water the same as With the creamers.
6. Twenty-four hours is sufficient time
in which to allow the cream to rise. If
the conditions are favorable all the
cream will be on top at the expiration of
this time.
7. The cream should be taken off when
it is sweet, and kept in a cool place.
Every time fresh cream is • added the
whole lot should be stirred and' mixed
thoroughly.
8. One day before the churning is to
be done, about 8 per cent. of sour cream
or sour skim -milk should be added to the
cream, and the whole mixed thorough-
ly, and kept at a temperature Of 600,
when after twenty-four hours the whole
lot will be slighly tart and ready for
churning. If about 25 per cent. of pure
water is mixed with the cream when
sweet, good results will be obtained.
9. The best temperature for churning
during the late fall and winter is from
62° to 64P Fahr.
' 10. When the particles of butter are
like clover seed, the buttermilk should
be drawn off and pure water at 559 add-
ed in its place.
11. The churning should then be con-
tinued for a minute or two, w,hen the
milk will be washed free from the but-
ter. The milky water inky then be
drawn off and a weak brine added at
55°.
12. After a minute's churning the but-
ter may be left to drain half an hour
before it is removed to be pressed and
salted.
13. For immediate consumption three-
quarters of an- ounce of pure salt of
medium fineness will be suflicient, and
for packed butter. one ounce to the
pound. "
14. While the salt is being added the
butter should be kept cool and should
not be worked any. more than is sufficient
to get the salt thoroughly mixed. The
butter should be kept cool till the salt is
dissolved, when it may be worked a sea-
ond time to get rid of any: streakiness
that may be in it.
15. In getting butter treacly for the
market, particular care should be given
to have it put up as neatly and clean as
possible, whether it be in prints or in
tubs. Parchment paper to wrap around
the prints or put on top of the tub will
be a good investment.
Nothing is more attraotive to the con-
sumer than tidy, clean packages of buit
'ter, while on the other hand, can any, -
thing be more repulsive to a person who
has to eat it, than butter done,up in la
slovenly, dirty manner? If the manu-
facturers of dairy butter would give
more attention to the little details which
affeot the quality and appearance of
butter, they would realize a more ready
sale for their goods and be able to re-
tain their customers.

Meantime Amos Cruickshank, of Sit-

herd of Shorthorns, which have upset
many oft he old theories. • In selecting
foundation stock for his • herd, Cruick-
shank was influenced by clear, hard-
headed Scottish sense. If a Shorthorn
bull or cow was pure-bred and possessed
the qualities desired, hedid not ask
whether it was of any fancy_strain. The
result was a herd • which was one of the
inost notable -in Shorthorn history. RO-

Stable floors should have an incline of
two inches in six feet, and when the
grooves are kept clean, there will be but
little trouble with wet bedding. The
grooves need not. extend more than half
the length of theatalls, and, in the morn-
ing when the coarse litter is removed, it

warm and enthusiastic he says : •
"Mary, I was an awful fool when I ran
off in a pet and left you,' have regretted
it all my life. Although I married and ?aid

want to tell you the truth, and I want )0a

The recital of the story &retread in the
audience very much more than the usual
merriment, and when the climax came there
was s veritable explosion of laughter and
applause, which was renewed again and
again, seriously distracting- the interest
from my address. It was evident that there
was much more than the mere story on the
minds of the people, and I ivies somewhat
worried unless some slip of :the tongue on
my part had given cause for redouble mean-
ing.
When the meeting was over the people
gethered in groups to laugh, and the chair-
man, is cleggyrnan, said: "I hope that story
of yours will not knock me out of & pros-
pective engagement." 1> Before he could ex-
plain, my host, his face wreathed in smiles,
hustled one into his carriage and drove off.
" What does all this mean ?" I interro-
gated. " Who put you up to tell that
etory ?" he replied. "Why, it is is story I
bare used many times." "Well," said he,
"if it is a mere coincidence it is a remark-
able one. If you had looked straight
ahead of you, near the baok of the audit-
orium, you would have seen John and
Mary, the widower and widow, with 'serious
add crimson faces, while all other.- were
convulsed with leughter. Only two weeks
ago John came back from California, where
he has lived nearly -twenty yore., He came
to see the folks,- he said; but the general
opinion was that he came to see Mary, who
was his lover before he went away, and
and whose husband died about a year ago.
He has been driving her about the country
and rowing her about the bay, and taking
her to every place of amusement and public
gathering, until they are talk of the town.
To -day they were in your audience, and
everybody will believe that you were put
up to tell that story to.get:a rig on them. It
is really past belief that you did not know
something of the circumstances,"
Sure enough John called on my host in
the evening snd angrily accused him of
loading up the speaker to insult him, and it
was quite impossible to persuade him that
he was not the victim of a conspiracy.

"Indeed," replied the merchant," relent-

"Oh, never mind that," said the merch-

"Yes, ; but somehow or other I fell

Two Homes.
BY EVA M. PERRIN, IN AMERICAN TYLER.
Two brides hate been taken to their husbands'
homes.
In one there is music and dancing and mirth,
Gay guests, owere and perfume, and beauty and
wit,
The table is spread with the dainties of earth,
And wine circles freely with many a toast
For the health and the happiness of the young
wife.
Amid loving friends and all wealth can procure,
Fair bride, surel) happy must be thy gay life.
All lowly and humble the other home stands,
No guests are within and no music is there,
Save the tea -kettle's 'Jong with its welcoming cheer,
As the.bappy young bride, none more sweet or
more fair,
In perfect content, but with half -bashful grace,
Prepares the tea -table ; but ere their first meal,
They ask that God's blessing may rest on their
home
And that they His presence forever may feel.
Two souls have been born Into thie changeful
world,
The mansion again has rejoicing and glee,
For in honor of hill) the young heir of the Mese,
The father has given a banquet, and he,
The sweet babe, is brought in, and to his baby lips
The red cup is held, as they drink to his health,.
0, bright babe of luxury, what will time bring
To thy lot, beside what thou now haat, loveand
wealth
The other babe comes to a small, modest home,
No eider -down pillows, rich robes or fine lace
Await his arrival ; no banquet is given
To wish him swoon as he starts in life's rave;
Buta mother's own Angers have fashioned his robes,
And into each garment have stitched hopes and
prayers -
Fond hopes for the future and prayers that the
child
Unharmed may pass through life's tem tatioes and
(Wes.
Many years have gone by, and the mansion is dark,
Exceptin one room where the lights 'burning low,
Show a bier and s coffin, the son dead wOthin,
At a drunken carousal struck down by a blow
From his own father's hand; and the Mother, with
gaze
Fixed steadily on the dead face of her child,
Keeps her watch through the night, and the first
morning light
Ldoks in on the dead snd the maniac twild.
It is evening, and softly the moonlight shines down
Os a mother who leans on the arrn of her son.
Glad tears 011 her eyes, and sweet peace fills her
heart,
For her prayers have been answered, a groat work
Led by father's example and mother's wise love,
To know 'what is wrong, and to love right and
truth,
The child whom they gave to the Lord at big birth,
Hae devoted to God all his talents and youth,
And has just been ordained to proclaim the Great
King,
And the mother now feels more than ;ever before
That all peace and prosperity truly are them
And come weal or come woe, all is right evermore.
