Kvery little. whilo some correspondent, or n writor fdt the dairy department of soroo papor, will come out with a tirade against washing butter. * . It is declared that washing takes out the flavor. So it ) does? the flavor of sour milk.- But thii is. not- the flavor that is desired in fine butter, nor in it the flavor thRt will keep. It soon changes to a rancid choosy -flavor, arid the batter is spoiled. Washing takes out no other flavor. . Somo declare that it wishes but the tiigarl Such $ro probably not aware that all the sugar there ft in the butter, is. What is helain solution by the water in the buttermilk which tho butter contain*. (Jot this water out and out goes tho sugar with it-~.no matter whether washed out or worked Out. Some even go so far as to put sugar into their butter with tho 6alt. Nothing could bo worse. Sugar is a very unstable actiole, when in solution, unless kept at a temperature very high or very low. In butter, it soon deepmposos and forms acid, and this, in turn, changes to some thing olso, to the great injury of the flavor of the butter. Hcnce it is that it is better foi tho keeping quality of tho butter to have the sugar changed to lac tio acid in tho crcam before it is churned. If it is, of course washing the butter does not wash out tho sugar ?it simply washes out tho lactic acid which has been formed from tho sugar, and which is not wanlod in the butter. Those who opposo washing buttor ap pear to bo afflicted by. a sort of hydro phobia. We somotimos wonder if they evor wash their faces and hands. They do not seem to bo aware that milk is 4/ per coot, wator, on an average, and thin cream full 'J ) per cent, wator, while but ter, as It comoi from tho churn, contains at least 2()<pcr cent, of water, and 10 to 1 ft per cent. . al tor it is prepared for market. .And it it not hold chemically, either, as some may suppose.

The Statistician of tho Department of Agriculturo dividos tho wool grown in tho United Statcsinto three classes. The first of tho three classes is clothing wool. This is tho fleece of full bloOd and grade Merino, of fine, short fibre, rcmarkablo for its foltlng qual ties. Tho highest typo of this raco, tho registered thoroughbred, is lound in Aernfoht, whoro breeding flocks are more numerous than elsowhere, and in considerable numbers in Wcstorn Now York, Ohio and Michigan, and scattered through the Western btatesy Tho morino typo of wool prevails al most exclusively in tho three States named, in Texas and throughout tho Pocky Mountain and "Pacific Coast areas. Few sheep of other blood are found west of tho Missouri River. Western Penn sylvania and West V rginia furnish wool of the merino type mainly. Tlieseaboard States of Mow England also furnish some grade wool of this typo. The second class, tho combing wool of the tariff cl&ssiflcat on, includos the me dium and long wool of the English breeds, tho Cotswold, Leicester, Lin coln,' soveral families of Downs, and other breeds of long and Coarse wool, popularly known as the mutton breed*. These are few in number comparod with tho merino typo. Nearly all of tho sheep of the South, exclusive of Texas, are. of thia class, mostly descendants of the less, improved English sheep of a hundred years ago, witn Occasional infusions of better blood from Englffhd, Canada, or the Kprithern States. In Kentucky Pr0h ably Hi) , per oent. aro 8f tho combing wool clnsa. A considerable portion, too,, aro highly improved, giving to this State the reputation*' of having a larger pro portion of high jqualityimuttdn than any other State* f. % ,. " In the vicinity of tho Afcl^ptlo cities, from Maine to Virginia* sheep husbandry is principally lamb production, thema'es being Downs or otlier English breeds, and tho Owes grades of both 'the merino and the English types. This combine* ttOn^miCraCM a WTxed wo01-ot4 useful oharaoter. Then there ate considerable numbe^a of the English breeds, though fower than merino, scattered through tho Wcstorn States, from Ohio to Kan sas, and a few on the Pacify Coast and: in the Territories. it is roprosonted in tho United States only by the Mexican sheep, which aro tho foundation of a largo proportion of tho ranch f!o ks, hut so improved by repeatod crosses as to furnish wool of the merino type, much of it of a high grade. ?

Saccharin is used now in cake, candy and cbampngne. Its sweetening powor is ttOO times greater than that of sugar, and itha< neither , the-latter's nutritive ncr injurious properties'. It 'does not ferment, and is in r?o way altered by tho action of yeast and ..other ferments. In addition to this, it has also afitiseptic properties whicn make it useful in pre serving articles of food. It is a condi ment, or spice, ' and ahould nover be tasted in ita puvo state. A distinguished American chemist, when asked for some information re specting the new material; said; ' Sac charin is really in many waps a remark - ablo product. It is the sweotest sub etance known.

Habits of Ants. in spito of the multifarious dutien and tasks that are imposed on these tiny bnrglars, they still find timo to clean and adorn their worthy little per sons. No spot, no atom of dust or any thing unoleanly will they tolerate 6n their bodies. They get rid of the dirt with thfe brushy tuft of their feet or their tongues, says tho Now York Graphic. They act for all the world liko domestio. oats when they clean and liok themselves, and (hoy assist one anothox at their toilet precisely like monkeys. Their sense of cleanliness goes so far that the nfttuialiat often finds to his un Sleasant surprise the oolored marks Ixat he had applied with so muoh care on his "trial ants" removed by thqir dirt-hating friends.
