Rensselaer Union, Volume 5, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 December 1872 — Dried Cream in Butter. [ARTICLE]

Dried Cream in Butter.

Mrs. L. Jennings, in writing to the Rural New Yorker on dried cream in butter, says: - : 1 think the cause too much air, or a current of air Which dries the cream while it is rising. Have observed this same effect in my own milk. If a pantry oft - the kitchen'ffimt be used through the stimmer. for milk, it should be . kept, nearly closed anddarkened, as it will then keep more of an even temperature, taking pains to open it offiy alien the air is coolest,“say early in the morning. I do not think it possible to make good butter in warm weather, where the pantry is used as ours generally are, for all the table dishes are passed from the heated kitchen to pantry, Taking the heated air from a cookstove into the pantry, and often hot victuals too. No person of sense and economy will practice it. I have seen a large cupboard, made and set in the kitchen for dishes, etc., where the means tvould not allow of any better way. A good cellar suits me the best in hot weather; and then I enjoy the time spent there, it is so cool It does not matter how small the cellar is, only large enough for the milk, if it is well drained and clean," no decayed vegetables and no vin egar or old cider in it. We used one several years, with no light except from the door, and that was kept shut when not needed. We made prime butter, I mention this because many people think they cannot make butter unless there is light and a draught of air, and so leave the cellar filled with rubbish all the sunmier, and try to make butter in the pantry. I wish to say to those, try the cellar; clean it early in the spring; drive away rats and mice; if they trouble you, use chloride of lime in it a few times. When the warm weather comes, clean again; be sure there is no decaying substance, and then try the milk there. I have found salt thrown over the cellar bottom to bo excellent in keeping insects away; also wash milk racks with salt and water, to keep off the mold, and never open the cellar windows in hot weather.

—The. Rev Dr. Ormiston, of New York, visited the big trees on the Pacific, and preached on the stump of one which had been smoothed so as to makean even floor for the summer-house erected over it, Fifty-five persons were present, and a hundred more could have been accommodated, leaving room for tbe pulpit and melodeon. —Theological students who desire to receive the aid of the Episcopal Society for the Increase of the Ministry will have in the future to go without tobacco and alcoholic drinks. Fever and Ague prevails to a painful extent In most sections of the West. A good safe and sure remedy is looked for by the people; one they can take to their homes to nse in time of need. We would, therefore, recommend to all, Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, as being a safe and 6ure remedy; by using it internally and externally freely, it will soon drive all appearances of the disease from the system. For sale by all medicine dealers. Cabi.e Screw Wire Boots and Shoes.—A word of explanation may notbe out of place. The cable wire acts as a screw, is strong and firm, and at the same time is elastic and comfortable. It is much preferable to the old method of pegging, and quite as soft and elastic as sewed work, but much stronger and less liable to rip, and much less expensive. Wo have tried the cable screw shoe, which has proved all that is claimed for it. The increase in this now method of manufacturing boots and shoes is very rapid, and promises to supersede the wood peg afia waxed thread.— The Standard, Chicago.

California’s Biggest Nugget.—How much we owe to Californfk’ Her precious metals have enriched thousands of our fellow citizens, and have proved the > a>ai» America i» times -«f aaUsnsd pecuniary embarrassment. Her mining industries have given, employment to myriads of mechanics and laborers. She is the lahd of promise to the fortune seeker. But the Golden State has lately sent us a new treasure. .Her last nugget is Dr! W alker's California VINEGAR Bitters. Tho health-giviDg principles contained in this curative are a more precious boon than gold. In all affections of the liver and stomach, remittent and intermittent fevers, rheumatism, and pulmonary diseases, it may be relied upon. As a blood depurent and invigorant it is nriequaled, purifying the circulation and infusing new Vigor into the debilitated frame! It conquers that most unyielding of all complaints—dyspepsia, and we know of no other remedy that can accomplish this. Its entire freedom from alcoholic spirit, Which retards and neutraliz es the effect of any medicine, and which forms the Wasis of many of the pseudo bitters and tonics, doubly enhances its value to the sick. The papers of the United States vie with one another in doing honor to Dr. Walker; We, too, add . our voice, and say all honor to the man whose science and skill have enabled him to draw from the vegetable kingdom such a balsam for human suffering. Butter and cheese are almost indispensa-, hie, articles of food. Properly used, they are nutritious and healthy; but an inordinate ush of either causes indigestion and dyspepsia. Parson'* Purgative Pills, judiciously used, will remove both of these troubles.

Millions of pairs of shoes tipped with metal are sold every year. For children’s shoes they are absolutely indispensable, unless one can afford the waste of buying two Pftlrs, whcn.oniyjone would be needed ; and few can safely submit to such a constant leak. With most people it is the little economies of the household that supply its members with comfort, and at the same time make the load of the father of moderate means a lighter one to bear. Cents invested in the purchase of metal-tipped shoes, save many a hard-earned dollar. — Amer. Workmm. r r Have yon ague in the face; and is it badly swollen?
