Curing Butter. In the year 1788, just one hundred years ago, the parish of Udny, near Aberdeen, with all the adjacent districts, was cele- brated for a mode of curing butter that secured, as against the common system of salting, in the butter trade fully thirty per cent, more money. It was universally conceded that ‘‘their butter has a great superiority above all others,” though Udny had no better cows or finer pastures than many other butter-producing locali- ties. The secret of success was in the curing process. They took of the best common salt, two ounces; of sugar, one ounce ; of saltpetre, one ounce ; these they beat together till the blend was perfect. The proportion of this composition was one ounce to every one pound of butter, worked well into the mass and packed close for use. Asthe curing process went on after packing in the crocks, they never allowed the butter to go to market until it had, so to speak, ripened, which rook from three weeks to a month. If it weve sooner opened for use, the salts would not have completely blended with the butter, and the preeminent flavor of the Udny butter would be somewhat lost ; but when all the Udny rules were followed faithfully, a but- ter was produced that would keep for years and be as sweet as when first laid down. This butter had arich, marrowy consis- tence, and was a fine color, never acquiring too much hardness nor tasting of the salt. There is a curious record of *® competition between some dairy- maids, a century ago, as to whose labors bore the best result. It was an exhibi- tion of samples from the chief butter-pro- ducing district. The usual practice was to only use common salt, and sometimes color with annatto, so that the Udny dairies were the exception to the general rule of curing. What a picture these buxom maidens must have presented to that con- gress Of masculines! Unfortunately pho- tography was then an undiscovered art; but we can imagine what the camera would have disclosed. It would have solarised a vast extension of solid table accommoda- tion, with a galaxy of fresh country beau- ties, on guard over ‘the work of their hands,” and bordered round with a ten deep margin of old-time dudes. But the inspection went on, by the judges of the butter as well as by the dudes of the dairy maids, and a decision was at last ready for announcement. The chairman of the in- vestigators rose and declared for the Udny butter, with this little speech :-—‘‘ I have seen no simple improvement in these econ- omicks greater than this is. Compared with salt alone the difference is inconceiv- able.” It was no wonder, therefore, that Udny butter inthe open market could command a third more money than her rivals in the curing process. In reverting to these items of long ago interest to dairy men and consumers, we are not merely re- hearsing’circumstances that occurred a hun- dred years ago, interesting as such narra- tives are. Itis for the purpose of suggest- ing to the farmers of Prince Edward Isiand, since they are making such rapid advances in the quality of their stock, to turn their attention to improvements in their dairy products; to emulate Udny, to build up a like zeputation, to command domineering prices, to make butter keep as well as sell, and so both deserve and secure the best prices in the best markets of this butter- consuming little world.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

A False ‘Report.

Sir,—Allow me, through the coluxcns of your journal, to call the attention of its readers in this locality to a report, as mal- icious in intent as it is false and unfounded in fact. Said report isto the effect that ‘*typhoid fever” has been in the family of John McDougall, of Black Point; the victims, his wife and niece. Originating with a select few, by no means famed for wisdom or veracity, it has spread, as such matters ususlly, do spread, until itShas be- come an accepted fact with numbers who have not had an opportunity of testing its correctness. The reflections cast upon my- self, personally, I could well afford to let pass; but when Mr. McDougall, a gentle- man of hitherto unquestioned probity, is accused of aiding and abetting a dangerous deception, it is high time to dare the authors of the slander to the proof. A diagnosis means a correct analysis of sym- toms. It will, therefore, be necessary for those *‘ inspired physicians” to state and interpret the latter, in both cases, before establishing the former. How they can accomplish this feat, remains to be seen. I again assert, however, that in none of the cases seen by me, was there ‘* typhod fever,” or fever of any kind. Again, I invite and defy those who have been so loud in their assertions to the contrary, to prove their statements to the satisfaction of all concerned. Should they fail to do so, they will stand self-branded as liars of the meanest type. In conelusion, sir, as this is a public question, Lhope I am not unreasonable in insisting that you close your columns against all anonymous con- tributions on this matter. I cannot and will not degrade my profession by stooping to the level of every ignorant slanderer who has rot the manliness to come out over his own signature. Hoping this condition will be rigidly enforced in every case, I remain, Sir, Yours, &c., K. HENDERSON.

North-west Crops.

The Canadiaa Pacific Railway agents have collected and sent forward the most complete reports hitherto received as to the state of the crops in the Canadian North-west. The following summary of the reports from various points have been made up and given to the public by Mr. Van Horne and the President of the Board of Trade:

The yield of wheat in Manitoba and Assini- boia is 17,000,000 bushels; the surplus for shipment 15,000,000 bushels. Of the latter 11,000,000 bushels are in perfect condition, and 4,000,000 more or less damaged. There is no man in a better position to know than Mr. Van Horne. His estimate is equal to a damage of less than 30 percent. On this there will be a loss of 5 to 20c. per bushel. Taken at the outside this would mean a loss of $800,000. Against this loss shouid be placed what the farmers gain by the recent advance of 20c. per bushel over last season’s prices—a clear gain of $3,400,000. In addi- tion to the above crop of wheat, Manitoba claims to have for export 2,000,000 bushels barley, worth 40c. per bushel, and 2,000,000 bushels oats, werth 20c per bushel. Taking the present value of wheats in the North- west, namely, 80c per bushel for hard and 60¢ per bushel for frosted, and based upon the aggregate population of ten thousand farmers, it would give an average earning power for every farmer in Manitoba and Assiniboia of

about $1,240 perannum. This, it must be

the time of rising, reaching sometimes nearly to an hour, this moon, at the time| of the autumnal equinox, to these in high latitudes, rises for several days in succession with an interval of only a few miuutes, thus really giving much more moonlight than at any other season of the year. In the earlier days, when labor was scarce, and the interruptions to the gathering of the harvest from heavy rains were frequent, the blessing of a full moon wising within the same hour for three successive days was heartily appreciated by those in northern latitudes, and the simple minded peasant, not understanding astronomy, supposed it was a direct intervention of the Deity in his favor. This only occurs at this period of the year. The moon is always opposite to the sun when she is full, and she 1s full in the signs of Pisces and Aries in September and October, these being opposite to Virgo and Libra, which are occupied by the sun in that season. Any one who will study a celestial globe will see that in those two signs of the Zodiac the path of the moon is more oblique, that is, it rises from the horizon in a smaller angle than during the remainder of the year. In plain terms, the moon moving eastward in or near the ecliptic, at the rate of about thirteen de-

distance below the horizon for four or six days in succession, that is, for two or three days before the full and two or three days after, thus giving a greater succession of early and brilliant moonlight evenings. From her position, she does seem larger, also, to the eye, and thus there is a real glory in the harvest moon found at no other season of the year.—N. Y. Journal Com- merce. spicier cilia

er Foot Rot in Sheep.

As soon as lameness is perceived the animal should be examined. Allloose and diseased horn must be cut away with a sharp knife, and any excessive growth of horn at the toes removed, so that whatever pus or matter is found beneath the horn may be able to escape. Many remedies are re- commended with which to wash the diseased parts. One method is to wash the feet clean after the diseased parts have been cnt away with carbolic soap and warm water twice per week, and after each washing apply the following mixture: Oxide of copper, four ounces; arsenic, one-half ounce; ascetic acid, three ounces, and honey, eight ounces. This mixture can be applied with a little lint or tow.

A New Seaman's Log.

Official trials of a new form ef log have recently been made on board some of the French torpedo boats. The log is made of bronze, of cylindro-conical form. !t is provided with a hollow tube running down its centre, which is connected by a canvas covered India rubber tube to a pressure gauge on board. When theship is under weigh, the flow of the water past the log established a partial vacum in the tube and causes the pointer of the pressure guage to move over its dial, which is graduated to give the speed of the vessel from four up to twenty-five knots.
