Making Butler in IVinter.—A writer for the Farmer’s Magazine, published in Ireland, ob- serves, that he has found it a very good way to add in winter, hot water to milk directly as it comes from the cow, it makes it yield the cream better. The trays in which it is set should also be scolded with hot water, or else warmed by the fire, before the milk is set in them. Chaﬁng dishes of charcoal are kept in dairies in frost, but the cream does not rise so well. The best dairy maids never put the butter in layers in the ﬁi'kiii; but leave the surface every day rough and broken, in order to unite better with that of the succeeding churning.

Mode of Preserving ﬂppleu—When the fruit is quite ripe commence gaihering, taking care not to bruise any of them. They are then to be carried to the fruit-room, and placed thinly on shelves, with properdivisious, so as to keep cachvariety distinct; allow them free air for six or eight days, then procure a quantity of sand, which is dried thoronghly on the ﬁne, and mix with it one pound of powdered nitre to bushel of sand, then dry the jars tho- roughly: thesejars should he made of glazed stoneware, and in a conical shape, to throw the weight on the jars and relieve the fruit. [The cone for this purpose we conclude must be inverted.] At the expiration ofeight days xamine the fruit and wipe each fruit with a oft towel. Never allow the fruit to sweat, for although recommended by many it is hurt- id to the damn injurious to the appearance. nd renders it insipid anal incaly. Put a quaii ity of mixed sand at the bottom of the jar, hen placealayer of fruit in such a way that ach apple may be kept apart; cover them ith the sand, again place a tier. and go on bus till the jar be ﬁlled within a few inches of he top; this upper place tilled with sand, seal he tops with putty-lime, attaching a ticket escriptive of the fruit, kc. Ate. The jars re to be keptin a room free from frost.

thus described: “ The length from one extre- rnity to the other, is ninety-nine feet, and it increases annually from two to three feet. Since I have had the management of it (which is eig'bt‘years,) it has grown in length twenty feet; it is not more than six feet in height, and the circumference ofthe stem about four feet. ltis an enormous bearer, and an excellent fruit, but more adapted for the kitchen than tor eating, as it grows to a large size. Another very remarkable feature, which I must not omit, is, that on one side of the tree, three branches invaria bly bear fruit only on alter- nate seasons; so that the branch bearing the present year, will next season he destitute of fruit,andin the same manner, the branches bearing next year, will rest the following year. Hort. Reg. Prescription of Iron from. Rust—’A mastic or covering lor his purpose, proposed bv the “So- Cietc d'Encouragemeut.” at Paris, is as follows: —1':2hty parts of pounded brick. passed through asdk sieve, are mixed with twenty parts of itharage; the whole is then rubbed 'np bv the inuller with linseed oil, so as to form a thick palm, which may be diluted with spirits of turpentine; well cleaning the iron before it is applied. From an experience oftwo vears. upon locks exposed to the air and covered dai lywrth salt water, after being coated twice With this mastic, the good effects of the pI’GPa‘ ration have been thoroughly proved.

W'ood Culling.— An experienced agricultu- rist informs us that he considers it as no esta- blished fact, thatthe same forest land which produces sixty cords of Wood per acre when out once in twenty years, would produce ninety cords, ifthe Wood were cut three times during the same period. He thinks that the rapidity ofthe growth of wood depends much upon the frequency of entting; and that wood- land in general would yield a far greater pro- ﬁt. if cleared as often as once in six or eight years.
