Show bul eul butter erin in krive five minutes W without aitho ut a churn A correspondent of the scientific american highly recommends the following method after straining the milk set away for about twelve hours for the cream to rise milk dishes dashe ought to have strong handles to gift it them by b y after standing as above set the milk without disturbing it on the stove let it stand stand there until you observe the coating of cream on the surface assume a wrinkled wrin klea appearance but be careful it does not no t boil as should this be the case the cream will mix with the milk and cannot be again collected now set it away till quite cool and then skim OT off the cream mixed with as little milk as possible when sufficient cream is aeed to make it into butter as follows take a wooden bowl or any suitable vessel and having 0 first scalded and then rinsed it with cold water place the cream in it now let the operator hold his hand in water as hot as it can be borne for a few seconds then plunge it into cold water for about a minute and at once commence to agitate the cream by a gentle circular motion in five minutes or less the butter will have come when of course it must be washed and salted according to taste and our correspondent guarantees that no better butter can be maleby madek by the churn ever invented to those who keep only one cow this method of makin making q butter will be found really valuable while quite as large a quantity of butter is is obtained as by the common mode the skim milk is muan sweeter and palatable in the summer season it will usually be found necessary to bring the cream out of the cellar say a quarter of an hour before churning to take the excessive chill oje off in winter place the vessel containing the cream over another containing water wafer to warm it then continue to agitate the cream until the chill has departed before washing the butter separate all the milk you yon possibly can as the butter will be found excellent for tea cakes butter made in this manner will be much firmer and less coign oily olly I 1 in in abt weather than when madg made made mada in the ordinary or ary way 21 it is worth trying tea seed applications the commissioner of patents has issued a circular in reply to the numerous applications for tea seed which are pouring upon the office at the rate of about thirty per week tile the circular says that owing t to 0 the delicate nature of the seed after undergoing 0 so ion lon long iong 0 a voyage it would not be advisable to place them for the present for experiment in the hands of those unacquainted with their culture besides it has been proven that this product innee cun can be successfully cultivated in various parts of the south so far as the soil and climate are arc concerned but this has been done in so limited a scale that the profits could not be determined nor the culture extended from a difficulty of obtaining a larger supply of the plants hence it would seem to be advisable that the present importation should be grown in considerable quantities in those sections where it is known that it would mature in order that more seeds can be procured and the culture indefinitely increased still it would be proper that experiments peri ments should be made on a limited scale in all parts of the union where there would be a probability of buce success ess no disposal will be made of the plants now growing 0 at the propagating gardens before the convening convenio of the next con congress ress after which a feasible feasibly e plan pian will be proposed for their distribution ouro cro f for or hollow horn hom A correspondent of 0 the prairie farmer gives the following cure i for this disease which he says he never knew k new to fail 1 I take bake a common pint cup or basin fill it half or two thirds full fill of warm water put as much salt into it as will dissolve cool it to about blood warm and pour this into the creatures nostrils the head of the animal must be held with nose up that the brine will be sure to go into the bead then give them two or three good slices of fat fit salt pork kork cut or split the end of the tail I 1 then make more brine have it as hot as I 1 can call bear my hand handin in put in more salt than will dissolve t with this wash and rub the cords of the neck and roots of horns borns I 1 think brine put on in this way vay is better than spirits of turpentine as a preventive of hollow horn in some very bad cases of this disease it may be necessary to repeat this dose two or three times but bat riot oftener than every other day not many instances of thi this s malady would occur we ima lma imagine lne ine if cows and other animals were properly fed and well sheltered in cold weather cooking feed for hogs
