Agricultural. RI LES TOR MAKING" BI TTER. In making good batter, (here are several * nice operations to be gone through with a which require an eye to cleanliness, fore- . ibonght. and some little experience. t i 1. On milking clean, fait, yet gently, rr. e gnlaily twice a day, depends the success of ii tbe diarymau. Had milkers should not be , tolerated io a herd, belter pay a double ; price for one that understands it. • I 2- Straining is qoito simple, but h should I bo borne in^ mind that two paus, half full s each, will produce * greater amount of f cream tbwu tbe oatnc milk in but one pan , J the reason of Ibis if the greater surface. - — I 3. Scolding is quite an imp -riant feature ■ in the way of making butter iu cool wcar tbcr. the cream rises much quicker, thus 1 OUl&uep* much lanprr, lha fault rf iBflfj . better color, and churns in one- half tho I ligic. i 4. Skimming should always be done be- > fore the milk becomes ioppercd ; other, r wric. much of tbe crtam turns iuto wbey f and U lost. I Churning, whether by hand or otber- . wise, should orcupy forly or fifty minutes. i 6. Washing in cold soft water in one of t it* preserving qualiti s. and should be conr tinned until it #bo»* no color of the milk 1 by th? use of the ladle. Very hat) water > u highly charged with lime, end most io.n I measure impart to it alkaline properties. > 7. Salting is qrrcssariiy dooe witfi tbe i best kind of grotlnd salt, the qnentity dh- . rics according to the state it i» taken from I the churn— if soli, more, if "bard, leu ; oL r ways taking the taste for the rarest guide. 1 8. First working, after about twenty-four i hours, is for the purpose of giving it greater j compactness. " , 9. Second working takes place at the i iim« of {lacking, and when the butter has f dissolved the salt, that tbe brine may bo r worked ont. j 18. l'ackiag is done with tbe band* or ] with a batter mall ; and when hotter if put f into wooden rnssels, they shoald be soaked ' in. strocg brine two or three days before i u«in(f., -Alter eaob packing cover the batter with a wet cloth, and pot a layer of salt npon it, in this way the salt can easily oe removed at anytime by simply Uking j hold of the edges of the cloth. ltutLer°made ia this way will keep any length of time required. PIGS— WHAT TO DO WITH THEM. i Over a Urge portiofi of the West, tbe ■ pigs, those that are Uft of them, hare had - a very hard time. The country was bare of • com. pigs starved to death or were killed r to prevent starvation by thousands, and • gra.s was very lata in starting. Where r there is now good grating for tbe herds of - swine they will do very well, and on tke • open piaiiie great numbers of them may be " herded by one or two men with dogs to ase sist tlidfo. There are articles of food long 0 , overlooked at tbe West which in many loj calilics may be very profitably used. Beef * scrap*, which arc coinpreucd in sncb bard e cakes that Qiere is no decomposition, if e broken up fine or soaked and boiled, form * a very nutritions article of food. The same e is true of alnmst all animal waste which does not readily pntrify. Hogs do riry ' well turned upon grain Gelds after they here begun to grow well in the spring. A rye field will support 6 to 12 bead per ecreocj ; cording to site, from the first of Mar to the , ) middle of August, with very little ot acy . ; thing else. When it is possible to feed pigs grain |n small quantities daily 'daring the spring and summer so as to keep them " . growing a|d in prime. order, it it surprising ■ ' to see bow. they will outstrip others not so n fed when cbrn glexes, to that general feedPijPconf^ied npon the man ore compost ! heaps, or in hmall yards for the pnrpose of * making maoore, of coarse ought not to ba ? "Unoed" or "rang." Tbe amoent of 1 weeds, sods, mack, end litter of ell kinds " thai tbey will convert into mtuure of first I rate quality, may be slated within bounds at 9 cords per shoat of not leu then 4 months old in March, provided it be ender cover, and the raw material^ be judiciously ~ supplied daring tbe season. \ , ii PROTECTIOS FOR ( ABBAGE FLAMS. This can be done simply by serronnding the stems closely with small flat atones or s chips or pieces of sbiagle*.
