And often at noon when I went there to drink H I I enjoyed It as much as I now enjoy beer, j How ardent I seized it with hands that were grimy 1 And «julck to the mud-covered bottom It loll.

0 The Power of Verse.

Young J ullus Jones loved Susan Blade, And oft In dulcet tones He vainly had besought the maid To take the name of Jones. ( "Wert thou but solid, then be sum Twould be all right," said she ; "Hut Mr. J., whilst thou art poor, Fray think no more of me." Poor Jones was sad ; his coat was bad ; His salary was worse. But hope suggested : "Jones, my lad, Just try the power of verse." Ho sat him down and wrote In rhyme How she was In her spring. And he In summer's golden prime And all that sort of thing. t The poem praised her hair and eyes— Her lips with honey laden. He wound It up— up In the skies— And mailed It to the maiden. fthe read It over, kept it plan, Put on her finest raiment. And look It to u magazine And got ten dollars payment. —Bra i jynkk.

About Bitter — CntcTM8TA*tEH Ixflcenci.vo Its Quality.

Milk of average good quality contains about eighty-seven per cent, of water. It has in the solution caseine, milk-sugar and certain inorganic salt*. In addition, it contains from three to four per cent, of "butter fat." The fat is distributed through the fluid in minute globules, which vary in sire according as the milk comes from different animals or animals of different breeds. The milk globules are found to be larger in the Jersey row than in the Ayrshire, and larger in tinAyrshire than in the llolstein or Dutch cow. The globule is larger, too, at the time of calving. From an extensive series of analyse* Dr. Voeloker found 1 the proportion of fat. in genuine cow*, milk, and milk not produced in any j way abnormally, to vary from seven and 1 one half to loss than two per cent. The 1 composition of cream varies according \ to its solidity, or whether It is thick or ! thin. The fallowing is the composition 1 of cream raised from milk set in shallow pans in the old way, Via, : Water, 61 .67* hotter (purs fatty matter), 33.48 j ease * ine, 2.82 \ milk-sugar, 1.58; mineral x matters (ash), 0.T2 ; and making alto- * gethar IflfVOO. Tbars is differtnoa of /

opinion among chemist* and. phyeiol ogiata ae regards the condition in which the little Cat globules exist in the milk j tome holding that the globule m m r r /u nded with a skin, or thin membrane of ftitrogeiXHM matter ; while the other view h that the fat eaiats in the form of gWbulee, forming an emulsion with the osj-eoui and saor.harinu matter of the milk. But this question need not be discumetMterc. Suffice it to say that the gmerally -received opinion is that the butter globules are enveloped in a oortrlng, and as th* weight of this ooveriog h heavier than the water it accounts lit part for the reason why some of the more minute globules remain nearly stationary in the fluid, or do not oomu to the surface when milk is set aside to cream. The office of churning, then, is to break these little sacks, or to free the fbtmlaa of their investing membrane, and to cause the little particles of fat to adhere to each other, thU* forming the *mall, grain Hike lumps which compose yellow butter such as we endeavor to obtain. The principles involved in batternipking are the same, whether cream or milk is churned for the purpose ; but - — - rT™",

when whole milk is churned, the labor is considerably enhanced. As a rcquis "» ite for making nice, sweet butter, it it t important that the mUk, when drawn from the oow, be good and sound, and t if set aside for creaming, it must be treated in a proper manner, and the cream churned when ripe, or before the case ous and saccharine matter mingled with it has progressed for toward acidity or . decomposition. DIFFICULTIES IX CHL'EKIXG. Tho following are some of the cause* that may delay or affect the churning s The milk may have been kept at im- j proper temperatures, or the cream may have been hold too long. Sour and sweet cream may have been mixed and not properly stirred, so as to be of the - same condition throughout as to acidity when plaoed in the churn. The cream from farrow cows may have been mixed With that from new milch cows. The cream may have come from the milk of cows sick or diseased. The milk of oow* that are feverish or near the point of drying off is imperfect, and should not | be added to milk from cows that are all right as to health and condition. Poor keep, neglect and cruel treatment of cows have their influence on the ounlitv i iHHuniw vii hip quality

of milk and the cream yielded, and these circumstances may affect the churning. CYeam is sometimes refractory churning, on account of the badness of the water with which the cow* are supplied. This is especially apt to occur in hot weather, when water, is scanty nnd cow* are compiled to slake thirst from stagnant pools, or from sloughs and mud holes where the water is putrid and filthy. In churning the temperature of the cream has an important influence. If too warm, the fat is melted, and the particles are not able to unite and form lumps of true vellowbuttcr; but a whitish, so ft mass may be obtained, which, when hardened by j cold, is defective in color and consistency of well-made butter. On the other hand, if the cream is too cold, the globules do not readily adhere, and the agitation may be prol6hged for hour* withj out obtaining butter, and. if the butter I does come, its grain is inured by excess- 1 ive and long-continued churning. The proper temperature of cream far chum ing i* from 58° to 6(1° Fah., according to circumstance*. Cream slightly acid, churns easier than sweet cream, hut cream should never be allowed to get "over-ripe" or go beyond a slight change I townrd acidity, for when too sour it become* injured, and the quantity of butter will be lessened. Sweet cream is usually churned at a little higher tern )>emturo than oour cream, and the ntn* rule hold* good far churning whole milk . Sweet, whole milk, chum* best at a lit tie alwve 60° Fahrenheit. I n winter the churning of cream from old milk is often facilitated by scalding the milk before setting, and *onn after being drawn from the cow, or setting a fewhours and then scalding on the Devon- } ! shire plan. By the first method the pat* of milk may be placed in another pan or vessel containing water, and then set over the range, whore it it heated to temperature of 140* or higher, until a ' crinkle on the slight scum of the surface * i* observed, when it i* removed and set in a cool pla«*c to cream. enrftna akdtbkir eanacirkrvt. In churning rare should be taken that j, the agitation be not too rapid, or so n violent a* to injure the grain of the but t( tef ; far, if the grain of the hutter be in- | pi rod. it is doforlnrated for preeent use. ' ^

I- and iu keeping quality is *c h The olcT-faakioived dash churn makes as * good butter as any, but unUot warlcfed r- by power it is otyeotiojtoblc, ou account 0 the labor Involved in iu operation, r The daab should be <x>oji true tod so as to f fill about threcfourths of the borioouto! e section of the cbura. It should be ors ranged to go within one-fourth of an • inch of the bottom of the churn, and t juot clear the cream in its upward and t downward stroke The iWtbP' 1 be slow at the beginning and at th oUma cf the operation, but between » period*, about forty-five strokes I r> s i the minute will be neither too fast nor r too slow. With cream properly pre pared and tempered, from thirty to fifty » j minutes will be consumed in churning. | Just before the batter gathers eoJd water . i should be added. This hardens the | butter into small particles and makes a ; fine grain. There are other obiyu than j the dash that have become deservedly i popular in making good butter, and they are operated with less labor than the dash. Among these may be men tioned the Blanehord, Whipple's recj tanguiar, the oscillating, the revolving box and barrel chums. In the revolving churns about forty revolution* in a minute will give the right agitation of I the cream. In skimming the cream from milk there should always be ! enough skimmed in with the cream to give thebutter when churned a bright, clean look. Butter churned from clear, thick cream i* apt to have an oily or i shiny appearance when it "comes" in the churn. Butter should not be churn- ' ed after it has fairly come. It need not ' be gathered compact in the churn to take out, bat the buttermilk should be I drained from the butter in the churn ] through a hair sieve, letting the butter j remain in the churn. Then take water \ j and turn it upon the butter with enough force to poo* through the butter, and in ' quantity enough to rinse or carry off the i f buttermilk thoroughly from the. butter. * U nder this process the grain wHl not be ii\jured, and thu* far, on account of its ; not having been broken, will retain all 1 the aroma of the flavoring oil*. Another * way is to dip or skim off the butter after f it is formed in granules about the stir P of buckwheat kernels, or between wheat * .and pease, and then placing the mass in : 11 a vessel of oold water. It may then be * Btirred In nnut nut tkn - -*** d

r eurrea to rinse out the buttermilk with L out ipjury to the grain. It ha* beer ' well remarked by Mr. Stephen* thai I when butter is properly churned, both as to time apd temperature, it become* firm with very little working, and ■ cosily moulded into any shape. It i* only in this state that the butter possess ; es that rich, nutty flavor and amel! j which impart so high a degree of pleasure in eating it and which enhance its value many fold. — (The Country Gentle man.

A Witty Boston Lawyer.

A* a lawyer, particular ly in matter* pertaining to Teal eetab* tic ranks at the head of his profession, and as a man lie » chivalrous and gen erous to the extreme, a perfect N>W school'' gentleman. It is a plrasure to lawyers and layman alike to witnera hiin conducting a case, and although hi* contempt for our Supreme Cburt is well known, it seldom manifests ibwlf during a trial. Innumerable are the stories told of thi* contempt. Some years ago he tried a nose for a lady client. ] but did not receive a decision in hit favor, although justice and equity would have warranted it. A* he and hb client were leaving the court room, the lady, who i« well known a* an exponent of woman's rights, said to him, that it wa* rank injustice. "Certainly, Madame, Mr. Paine replied. "Mr. rain©," the lady contipued, "when we women get a chance to ait on the bench such inji»*tio© I ' will not be possible." With one of hb rich rare smiles the lawyer said : "Mad amo, never expect to see a greater set of old womou than arc at pr**ent on the Massachusetts Supreme Court bench," A short time ago. while on bia way in the horae cars to Cambridge, lie was observed hy one of the younger 1 ind leaser lights of the Bar, who wo* ' icquainted with him, reading a shoep * \>vered book, and the young man, | 1 etching h»» aya, raid « "Ah I Mr.

Raiding American Forests .

The lumber dealers of England are making a grand raid on Iowa and all the black walnut States, and are fast taking from ns all that we have left of that timber. The native ibreete fa Ohio and Indian is ware rich with thss now precious wood, arad the early rattlers of thore Stales, fa clearing the land for agricultural purporaa, destroyed numberless thousand* of acres of thw timber, little thinking that in doing eo tney were destroying that which fa % few yean would have made their land* valuable than gokl or lead mine* The havoc of timber in Ohio and Indiana— the saltier* there spending nearly 100 yean in steadily destroying the wood* with which they found the surface covered, girdling and killing the groat forests one year and burning them the nexv — *s one ef the queer things in American history aa it is now looked at. The magnitude of k young people oow and all the people of the future will never realise. It was an enormous destruction of value*, the total of which may be estimated at Uundrod* of miiliocu of dollars. Bat it was inevitable. For though west of In • iiana and Ohio there were the known
