MILK ANT) ITS MANUFACTURE INTO BUTTER.
<r Atf tho last meeting of the Chonaugo
Farmer's Club, riou. S. E. Lewis, of Pres" ton,
rcod a paper ou "Milk and its Manufacture
into Butter aud Cheese." The es
sayist first spoko of the importnuce of procuring
and keeping the milk pure and free
" from taint or odors, in order to mako a fine
article of buttor or ehecse. No fluid was
more sensitive to it surroundings than milk.
THE RISING OF CRKAM.
)Thc fat or butter in milk is in small
globules, and these aro cascino mombrauc,
and are lighter than the ordinary fluid conmiiu

in the milk in half tho time that it will take
it to rise in a damp atmosphere with the
wind south. In this latter condition of the
atmosphere the small globules of the cream

tho cream will rendily rise in deep "
settings ; but in an unfavorable couditiou of
\ tho atmosphere mer*prcam will bo obtained
from the samo qufftnty of milk in the same c
time from shallow Bettings.
PREPARING CREAM FOR CHURNING.
Croam should always be churned in its v
firsfcaoid, and never be allowed to stand and t
wh^ off. Tho temperature of tho cream t
should bo from 68 dog., to G2 deg., varied f
according to the temperature of the room a
when churned. Tho temperature of the ^
[.y buttermilk when the batter is churned c
hould not be atroUHflt <!tefc. for fine butter. a
There should always be uiilk enough skim- /
mod in with the cream to give the butter a ti
bright, clean look when churned. Butter r,
churned i'roui cream skimmed close, free f,
from milk, will havo an oily look when it a
comes. Cream skinuncd from diffcrcut p
milkings should be mixed from four to six tl
hours or more before churning iu the same p
ehurn at the same time. The caseinc sacks b
which hold the globules of butter in the w
cream, will not be of the same chemical h
conditions as to their toughness or tender- ai
netw in tho different creams, consequently S(
the sacks will not break and form into but- b<
ter at the same time, hence a loss of butter p;
in the buttermilk. Should hi mixed loug
enough to become one cream. ,r]
mr-TTA.11JBINU OV "BtiTTKlt
IJutter should not be allowed to churn ^
until it is gathered compact iu the butter- 01
milk ; stop churning as soon as the dash rt
churns clean, when the butter is in a gran- "i
ulatcd condition about the size of a large
shot; have a hair -sieve, drain the buttermilk
from the butter through the sieve, let- ro
ting tho butter remain in the churn ; take u"
a little pains to drain the buttermilk off as so
clean as you cau; then take the water and n<
turn it upon tho butter iu the churn in a 01
stream of sufficient force to pass through tho s''
butter ; this separates the butter ; fill up the
cliuruhalfor two-thirds full of water, and
then with the churu dash stir it up a little, J"
and the result is that your butter is washed

butter sufficicntiy hardens in tficlva to rotate
it off from the wuter with the ladle and sieve
?then place it upou the worker, hero you :l
gather your butter compact as you work in
tho salt. This process of washing butter
not only saves much haudlingof the butter, .
thereby keeping the grain of the butter per- *f
feet, but it makes a more perfect separation
of the caseiuo, as the buttermilk is compos- .
cd of caseiue and water. The rancidity of 'r
butter is due to a fermentation geuerated by j!1
tho caseinc existing in it. *1'
Butter free from caseinc and water, re- ,
quires no salt to keep it. Iu salting butter, v
no rule can bo givou. lie always salted it
to tho taste. Salt flavors the butter : it loo- *r
sens aud helps expel the casciuc and butter- ?
milk from the butter, if there is any in it; ^
also helps preserve the butter from beeoming
rancid, if there is not too much cascine
left in it, it also toughens the grain of the 0
Uuil/Cr, UlssuWuo tiuvl livlpu uu?iy off all jftPj
eign matter. Iu working butter the lever
or ladle should never be allowed to slip or !
slide on the butter, if it docs it injures the
grain ; overworked butter soon has an old tr'
butter taste. ()t
In working butter, never try to f >rcc the J?,?
buttermilk out; work light, just move the ,
butter so as to give the salt a chance todis- 0
.solve; as fast as the salt dissolves it will
carry off the buttermilk and water by light gG(

COLIC IN HORSE8The
mosk common kiud of colic in horses
is known as wind colic. This arises from
fermentation of food in the stomach, instead
of its healthy digestion. If a horse ffe
brought in tired and is fed immediately, and
fills his stomach, there may not be sufficient
gastric juice to perform its office. The food
will then ferment. Soon the horse wilkbloat;
the breathing becomes hard, with frothing
at the mouth. This may not be confounded
with the hard breathing iu luug
fever, since, in the latter, there is no bloating.
The passage of the stomach and bowels
become clogged with the masses of undigested
food, the gas arising from the fermentation
cannot pass out of tho stomach.
wbkH become -imip
diftpnragiff forward so that the lungs cannot
expand, the breath becomes short, and the
rapid breathing will shortly iuduce frothing,
[f tho trouble reaches this stage, the horse
>vi 11 rarely live more than an hour. In this
tiscasc, tune is ot tlie greatest value. As
soon as you sec your horse is bloating, give
omething to stop the fermentation. For
his. a heaping tablespoonful of saloratus is
he best thing. Spirits of hartshorn in a
lose of half an ounce, very much diluted, is
Iso good. If now you have checked the
ermentation for five minutes, the next thing
s to make the gas pass off. To do this, give
farm water injections freely, injecting all
he animal will hold, if it is a pailful. Turn
he horse's head down hill, and use a small
orce pump, if you have one, or if not, use
piece of rubber tube which should be inertcd
as far as it will go with ease, and the
nd of tho tube ttiay t^on. be turned up and
funnel put in, into whicVturn warm water,
tftcr you have put all the horse will hold,
urn him about and let it pass away, and
epeat the operation till tho bowels become
rec, and the gas passes off. Meantime,
nother hand should be preparing a dose of
hysic, which should be from onc-lialf to
iree-fourths of an ounce of aloes. This, if
lit iuto water by itself, will uot dissolve,
ut, if put iuto a pint of warm water in
hich a heaping tablespoonful of saleratus
as been dissolved, the aloes will dissolve,
nd the salcratus will be useful as an autistic
to stop the fermentation ; to this can
a added some molass.s to make it more
alatable.
Should the animal seem iu much pain,
ive two ounces of laudauum or au ounce
hould the physic not operate in an hour,
half an hour, if it is a very severe case,
:poat the dose, keepiujf up the injections
uring the time.
If there is stricture from kinking of the
jwels, there will be no help. The lcctuir
bad known a horse to die iu thirty minLes,
iu spite of all efforts. Aconite is
metitner given to cure colic, but it was of
j value; nor is salt or vinegar, or both,
use. Chalk and vinegar, which are
mictiuics given, the chalk first and then
10 vinegar, will alone produci colic, and
lould never be given, as the effervescence
ay give pressure sufficient to burst the
jwels. Iu no event take out the animal
id run or trot him about, nor rub his belly
ith a chestnut rail.?Prof. Cress)/.

MB. TILDEN AN D THE ELECTORAL ?JLL?II
SIDE FACTS COMING OUT/
The recent letter of Lieutenant Aovern<
Dorsbciuicr, declaring he kncwfoovcrnc
Tildcn Was opposed to the passngyof the la
creating the Klcctoral Commit/ion, is tli
subject of much comuieut in polticaL circU
hero, especially by leading Petfocrats, wh
have intiuiutc knowledge of allthc materit
facts, and are in a position to know how tins
act came to be passed. J
When the conspiracy was first develops*
by which Louisiana nu'd Florida were to b
captured through returning boards, ^ud tyi
Zach.JChandier telegraphed over the countr
on the 8th November, "Hnyes has 1^5 volt
and is elected/' right in the faco of
tYrT iYr^>.U;'"irf lujdyu
of thcTVnTiemu Penmcratic Oouiiiiiftti^wl
urged to appeal to the country, and to |>l|
pare measures to defeat this daring tchem
to steal the Presidency. Had Mr. Tilde
and his friends pursued this course prompt!
and energetically it is believed the eonspim
tors would have halted in their design whe
confronted with a popular majority of a mi
lion of white votes and a quarter of a millioi
of white and black, independent of a clea
and honest majority in the Electoral Col
leges. The New York managers hesitate*
to take this responsibility, and of course the
consulted with Mr. Tilden. Their excus
was that Congress was about to meet, and i
would be better to wait and take counsel o
the Democrats in both houses. When Con
gross came together on the first Monday ii
December no line of action was marked out
and opinions were loose and unsettled. Nat
urally enough the Democrats looked to Mr
Tilden as their leader, and expected from bin
some suggestion of positive policy. Nom
was made. Meantime the conspiracy wa:
growing in strength every day by the supine
nets, distracted counsels and absence of uni
ty on the Democratic side, because there wa:
no r.'llluiiirr r>niiif n-lw i-n llinii. cIimihyOi

be concentrated. Troops were drawn t<
Washington, and preparations were mad<
for a state of flagrant war, about which tin
public has been but indifferently iufortncd
Finding that New York would not inov<
or lead the way, the Western Democrats ir
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois made detnonstra
tions of a purpose not to submit tamely ti
the intended fraud. If that movement hat
bceu seconded warmly by meetings over tlx
North?lbr the South had its hands tied
ami was little more than a passive sp ctatoi
-^neppt m.gnrstm unUcu, irc*uul
formidable. Mr. Hewitt and his advisor:
turned a cold shoulder on this inovetncni
and discouraged it in every way. so that ii
may be said to have fallen stillborn. \\ itl
this failure disappeared the last hope o;
crushing out the conspiracy by a popular
rising against it. Mr. Zach. Chandler ant
his associates were elated, and the Demo
crats were depressed. During all this time
Democratic members of the Senate and
House of Representatives were constantly in
conference with Mr. Tilden, without boinj
able to obtain from him anv nlan or decision
- - _ -- ?I
which would sulidify the party.
The session was drifting on and the d:\
last approaching for a count of the vote.
Mr. Hdinuuds had drafted his bill for tVc
L'.omiiussiou and it was refertetl
to a committee. In this state of thing?,
and before either party was couu^ittcd absolutely,
three members of tilts House
of lleprcseiitatives went to hew York
and consulted with Mr. Tildcn, bearing
messages from some of the most distinguished
senators. The alternative presented
were a resolute call upon the people to
defend their rights, submission to the iniquity
or the passage of the Electoral bill.
Mr. Tildcn heard them patiently, considered
all the points, and closed hy saying ' don't
be in a hurry." Others saw him without
^ettins: any decisive iudement or advice
one set believing him for the bill and another
against it.
Under these circumstances the bill became
a law. The Democrats were never
confident of success, hut they were encouinged
by the belief that Judge Davis would
be a member of the Commission, and they
expected much from his impartiality, fiioral
courage and practical mind, in sweeping
11 way the devices and deceptions aud frauds
of the returning hoards, lie was unexpectedly
elected to the Senate, and having
decided to accept that place refused to sit
an the Commission oven if chosen.
The rest is recent history, and need nut
>c repeated. Mr. Dorsbciuior'lenient
unchallenged, but it must be said he enoyed
a confidcuco froui Mr. Tildcu which
,vas strangely withheld from his best friends
u Congress and from the leaders of the
>arty who were entitled to know his opinor.s
on the subject. Mr. Tildcu has many
liiiusiuuiuikc qualities, blithe is not a leader
of men. His mind is slow, deliberate
md well poised, but he lacks the spirit of
>rompt action and of cnorgct'19 command.
11c uiay be said to have thrown away the
iresidency from this const itutionU organism.
If Mr. Tilden had given the IcaftTTTrfii of
lisapproval the Electoral bill never would
iavc passed.' As it was, his nephew, Mr.
iYdton, was established with a large suite
it the Arlington Hotel, during the whole
rioter, as the accredited manager of his
undo. I>iit lo.' never pretended to be
g iih-t (In* bill, nor did Mr. Hewitt or any
>f Mr Tildcu's confidential circle.

0 '-Oil the 19th of last May," said the Capr"
tain, l,we were anchored in the port of IV
? 'bcllon do Pica. The weather was tine and 1
s uolhing unusual was noticed. Allofasud- s
' deu, ahout ten minutes past eight o'clock in 1
L rie.nfed a very heavy :
W smock of earthquake. The night was very !
dark, hut simultaneously with tho shock a 1
^ bluish phosphorescent light seemed to burst 1
" from the hilltops. The earth appeared to
- have cracked open and to he vomiting forth I
l" flames. The lirst shock was immediately t
succeeded by another still heavier, and this t
was followed by a great tidal wave. The j
II sight became at once terrific. There were I
,r twenty-seven vessels in the harbor, ail drag- s
j ging their anchors and floating about at the t
1 mercy of the waves. Tho sea was very high, s
^ and currents were running in all directions \
0 at the rate of eight or nine knots an hour.
No small boats could keep afloat. The launches
were put out, but the sea turned them
right over. In less time than it takes to tell ,
1 it an immense wave was bearing us to the '
' shore. Our ship, tho Alida, struck the rocks (
and commenced to break up very fast.?
' There were eighteen feet oi water in Iter '
i ,?i T l_iv .1.- i- n-i - > (

the depth of water on the rocks was about t
* fifteen feet, but twenty minutes afterward I t
threw the led over and found this had in- ^
creased to ton fathoms. The length of the
* wave might be calculated from these data.
1 Seven other ships were driven along shore I1
' with us, and were lost. All the other vos- p
: scls in the harbor were seriously damaged. *
) Fortunately, however, the crews all got off f
' safely. s
TilK TOWN I>KSTItOY HI). 1
1 ''The people on shore were not so lucky. v
The shocks of earthquake had laid prostrate
j all the buildings of the little town. The *
kerosene lamps used to light the houses had '
been broken and the town began to burn up. v
' Wlicn the wave came it put out the conflag- s
ration, and on receding took with it all the 1
tawnv'SwelfpYtt'gTHbfyflfcc w'&avfhi'iiWHiAbfi t
as cleanly as a new brooui. The inhabitants, P
t who numbered about four thousand, had
t taken to the mountains at the lirst shock of 1
P the earthquake, hut the wave was too '
^ quick for some of them and about one bun- P
^ dred and seventy persons were drowned.
NATURE'S IIL'UST OF ANCKK. l'
) "The blue flumes rising from the inounI
tains, the burning town, the flying iuhahi- ';
i tants and the unmanageable vessels iu the >(|
; harbor made a sight never to be forgot ion. ''
i We had absolutely no warning of the terrible
disaster. The direction of the shock b
* seemed to be from north to south. A vol- Sl
i cano twenty-eight miles to the north of w
i where we were, which had long been quieI
scent, broke out again. The greatest elova,
lion of the tidal wavo that followed was ,s
about sixty feet over the highest part of the !li
towu. The place was a considerable depot Sl
for guano. All the guano boats, condensers 01
and machines were totally destroyed. The e
actual loss must have been very great and d
tire damage to the towu will not be repaired
for many years. We had twenty-one men, ai
all told, on the Alida, and none were lost.
The American Consul at Callao took charge |,(
of us and sent us home. For a fortnight
after the tidal wave had occurred there were t
severe shocks of earthquake along the coast |j(
of Peru. We often experience slight shocks j)(
in sailing in those regions, hut t never saw CI
the like of this before ami never want to p,
experience it again " w

jund of white sugar. Mix the sugar
ith a little water and let it come to a boil
r Gftecn minutes, to form a syrup. We
