Farm, Garden and Honsehold. Making and Marketing Bntter. Living near the border of Southern dairying land and Northern limestone grain farms, says W. W. N. in the TVibune, I have for years watched the varying fortunes of these two classes of farmers, and on my own farm have gradually given up growing grain and wool for raising young stock and making butter. Sometimes a crop of wheat, barley, or hay would prove the richest mine for the year : but generally our dairy farmers are quite as successful as any. Experience has taught us that farms overrun with white daises or other bitter herbs, cannot produce good, sweet butter; and that when the clover pastures dry up in our warm gravelly valleys we must have sowed corn or a fresh clover pasture to keep up a good supply of milk, during July, August, and part of September. Milk-room in , the house, milk-cellars, and milk-houses are used ; and all, when supplied with stoves for heating, and arrangements for cooling the air and milk, are successful. Some use dash churns, some crank churns ; while many of the largest dairies use the sauare box churn. The best batter-maker I know in Spafford, adjoining Cortland county, always keeps his milk in a room next to his kitihen; but he has platform shelves, about six inches high, around under the milk-racks. The covers of these shelves are hung with hinges tJid turned back in hot weather, allowing the cool air from the cellar to rise around the milk-pans. The largest butter-maker in Otisco has a milk-house made of groat and cobbles, a picture of which would be almost identical with the one the Tribune recently described and pictured. His is 22x32 feet?a deep cellar, hinged shelves under the pans to let cool air rise in hot weather, groundfloor room furred and plastered, a stove for cool weather, blinds to - windows, a churn in the end room, with the power out of doors. The best dairyman in Lafayette uses the Jewett milk-vats in the north room of his house, and finds them a great saving of labor and also of good cream ip hot weather ; but in cool weather they need a supply of wanned instead of spring water under the vats. Each of these dairymen in Onondaga county uses Ashton instead of Onondaga salt. Each packs in tubs or firkins, ?nd each sold last fall at 30 cents?one receiving 81,800 in one day for three tons of butter. It would have brought $2,400 or more if kept two or three months later. My own butter market is Syracuse, ana my meiaoa is as 101lows: In the spring I engage as many customers as I dare untertake to supply, charging them in 1871 the retail price of prime butter, in 1872 30 cen,ts, and this year 30 cents for six months, or three pounds for SI to those who prefer a year's supply. I have about 50 twogaflon jars. These small jars, when taken from a barrel of 'lime-water, weigh from four to 12 ounces more than when dry. They should therefore be weighed just before being filled, and the weight of butter marked on the bottom of each jar and cover, for the information of customers who may wish to reweigh or keep an account of what they receive. These jars average about 15 pounds of butter, or about a pound a day for an ordinary family for two weeks, when a load of jars of newly-made is left early in the day, and the empty jars carried home. This takes two days in each month to carry the butter 10 miles, deliver and collect pay, if wanted. In three years' experience I have not lost a cent by a bad debt; never had but one customer shirk from his word when the price went down to 18 or 20 cents, and never had but one jar returned, and that upon inquiry, I found had been left every day in July by the hired girl, on the top of a barrel, close to a window, exposed to the sun. Where a farmer is far from market, and is sure he can keep every pound of butter sweet for a J ear, he should pack it and stay at ome ; but if there is doubt about keeping the butter, and a good market is near, and the profits of the dealer can be taken by the farmer, it will sometimes pay. Practical Recipe*. ? Fruit Suet Pudding. ? Of finely minced suet, flour, grated bread, and cleaned currants, a quarter of a pound each ; a tea-spoonful of pounded ginger, one of salt, two ounces of brown sugar, and a tea-cupful of milk; mix all the ingredients well together, and boil it in a cloth for two hours. Serve with a sweet sauce. Familt Pudding.?Mix with a pound of flour half a pound of raisins stoned and chopped, the same quantity of minced suet, a little salt, and milk or water sufficient to make it into a stiff batter; boil it for five hours. Serve with melted butter poured over it. Two well-beaten eggs may be added. Almond Cakes, small.?One pound of butter beaten to a cream, half a fiound of finely-pounded and sifted oaf sugar, half a pound of dried and sifted flour, and the same quantity of blanched sweet almonds cut into thin, small bits, one well-beaten egg, and a little rose water; must be mixed well together and with a spoon dropped upon wafer paper or tins, and baked. Bread Pudding. ? Make a pint of bread-crumbs ; put them in a stew-pan with as much milk as will cover them, the peel of a lemon, a little nutmec era ted, and a small piece of cinnamon ; boil about ten minutes ; sweeten with powdered loaf sugar ; take out the cinnamon, aud put in four eggs ; beat all together, and bake half an hour, or boil rather more than an hour. Irrigation. A wiiter in the Overland Monlhly gives some interesting facts in relation - to the San Joaquin (California) and King's River Canal and Irrigation Company, designed for both irrigation aud navigation. The eastern trunk of the contemplated system of canals runs 500 ' * miles north, from Kern Lake to Red j Bluff, in tlie Sacramento Valley, fed from the water-shed of the Sierra Nevada. The Western, commencing at Summit Lake, runs 163 miles along the foot-hills of the coast range, thence 200 vni-loa 1.., tl.a fia/tra ValW QUO miles in all, of which 40 are construe-1 ted. Alumt 15,000 square miles, or 9,COO,000 acres, are to be irrigated thus, at a cost of $20,000,000. Aud it is reckoned that the export of wheat would be increased $15,000,000 unnually by the improvement of unproductive lands, | while desirable immigration would be attracted. What is an Inch of Rain??An English acre consists of 5,272,640 square inches ; and an inch deep of rain on an acre yields 6,272,730 cubic inches of j water, which at 277,274 cubic inches to the gallon make 25,622.5 gallons ; and, : as a gallon of distilled water weighs ten pounds, the rainfall on an acre is ; 226,225 pounds avoirdupois; as 2,000 pounds are a ton, an inch deep of rain j weighs 100.993 ton6, or nearly 101 tons per acre. In every hundredth of an inch a ton of water falls per acre. Before the Final Disaster. ii A private letter from San "Salvador, to c a gentleman in Philadelphia, describes ,, a terrible earthquake which occurred ] only a few days before the great shock ? which destroyed the city. Slight shocks of earthquake had been 0 felt for several days. On the afternoon 8 of the 4th, at about 4?0, while the chil- ' dren were merrily -.romping in the grounds and I was quietly smoking my ? after-dinner cigar on the porch, not r only our house, but a greater part of , the city was reduced to little more than a ruin. Suddenly, in a twinkle, the ground began to heave like the deck of c a ship in a gale. Terrific thundering burst from under foot, walls tottered and were rent in ^ many places with wide crevices, roofs sank, and tiles, &c., were precipitated to the ground ; lamps, pitchers, basins, glass, &c., were overturned and broken. Three violent shocks followed in succes- r sion, and the servants commenced to ^ scream piteously, and could not be 8 pacified. The most singular effect was that upon the dumb animals. Wild n birds flew to the houses, the horses c grew frantic in the stables, and the i dogs, howling, slunk toward us for pro- ? tection. Although I was not conscious r of personal fear, it was noticeable that a ovorv nnfl'a faftft err ft w ftsllV Dale. It , might have been the intense excitement, j and from the fact that no human means for preservation were avilable. Miss g S., with admirable presence of mind, , seized the children and hurried them c to the " patio, " or open court-yard. c Maggie aided, with prayerful ejacula- c tions, and I am afraid that I fired some- c thing of a volley of words at the native j servants, who yelled, as I thought, be- ^ yond human capacity. c Every few minutes shakings of less ^ violence occurred, and I made a dash ? for the street. The scene beggars description. Buined houses, panic-stricken ^ people?men,women and children?flee- ? ing to the fields with valuables hastily f collected. Then the ringing of the r alarm-bells and beating of drums, call- c ing all the soldiers under arms?for ; here murder and pillage accompany the ^ confusion of great earthquakes, and as r the frightened citizens leave the town, g dusky Indians from the forests prowl u for prey into it, only checked by the f bayonets of the Government troops. ^ These were posted in squads at short ? distances all over San Salvador, and a | special guard posted in the front and ^ rear of the Legation. Gen. Bustamente, ? who happened to be in town, rode to me, and said: "Senor, you must leave with your family. I very much fear the wh ole place will be levelled in the night." i And what was to be done ? The most perilous place was under a roof. Dark- t ness near at hand, and the country all in terror. The children behaved admirably, bright and cheerful all the t time. Santa Tecla, or New San Salvador, is <, about ten miles distant from the capital. ^ It is eight hundred feet high, and was thought to be more exempt from "tern- t blores." Here I determined to seek * refuge with the children, and I went to the only livery stable to see if I could | hire a stacre. or even a bullock-cart, to T carry us to 'Santa Tecla. But not a horse or mule, donkey, or vehicle of any description could be obtained for love or money, and the lengthening shadows showed that the tropical night was near. I obtained, however, one extra horse. We then put Colly and Jim on the same horse, Sally on the little bay pony, and i?lsie and Harry both on the cream-colored pony, and Miss S., Maggie and I were on foot. My large white horse was loaded with blankets, sheets, clothes, provisions, etc., in case of need and our being compelled to encamp in the op6n air. We left two native women in charge of the house and began our pilgrimnge. j Luckily the moon had passed its first quarter and the night was clear. On we went for more than an hour, up, up, up, the whole time ; my strength began to give out at last; so, transferring the c children to the ponies, and as neither j. Miss S. nor Maggie could be induced to j ride, especially with a gentleman'^ sad- c die, I mounted the horse. Then we t scruggled up for another hour. It was ( now nearly ten, and all were giving j signs of exhaustion. It seemed im- jpossible to reach Santa Tecla until long j after midnight, and we hardly knew j where to go when there, for we knew t well that the little shanty called a hotel { would be crowded with fugitives. We a were nearing a little Indiau farm-house t on a slope of the volcano, and were a saluted with a round chorus from yelp- n ing curs. But the hospitable owner E J:-H_ ,,a un,? CUI UiailJ iCVCiVCU UO. XilO vv?uwr?v*v? g had been bad there also, and for safety E they were sleeping in the open air. The ft children and our women-Kind were at v last safely stowed away in something ^ between a cow-shed and a kitchen, and j the boys and I dared the inside of the n dwelling-house with the outer door e open. And thus the night safely j, passed, with occasional earthquakes and j the arrival of other fugitives from the n ruined city. t None of us having undressed, we were a all up and about at dawn, when a coun- c cil was held as to what was next best to c do. The majority of the population had y fled from San Salvador, and all said j that Santa Tecla would be now over- s crowded, so I thought me of Mr. f B 's estate, Monte Cristo, which T must be within a few miles. For this, j then, we traveled, some on horseback, n others afoot, as on the night before, and j, clambering over the mountains reached v our destination iu time for a 12 o'clock y breakfast. As we entered their grounds E in our unique style, some three on a horse and all begrimed with dust, good 8 Mrs. B indulged in a hearty Ger- E man laugh, biddiug us a warm welcome. n And here we are, enjoying the fine air j of Monte Cristo, and the generous hos- f pitality of the B s. Yesterday Mr. r B - and I rode to town and saw the j President. The trmblorcs yet con- . tinued, and again some tiles were eject- n ed from the roofs. We will not return ^ until the danger has ceased. <. San Salvador, Mar. 10.?I open the letter to add that although the temblorcs ? - a fiAi i i continue, not mucu nu-uuonai uHiuuge hits occurred. We are all yet at Monte ^ Cristo, as it is hardly safe yet for the j children to return, i came in to-day to close my correspondence for the steam- v er, and, mid fallen roofs, and the debris j of broken walls and chattels, write this r in the Legation office. The British j c Consulate is a literal ruin, and many ; r other houses. j At 8 this morning there was another c heavy earthquake. No loss of lives in j the whole of them. The children enjoy ! ^ the finest health and spirits at the hos- | ^ pitablo mountain retreat where they T have found refuge. , History of I he Ktiluctl City. v The city of San Salvador is the capi- / tal of the republic of the same name, f and is situated near the south base of { \ the Tolcano of San Salvador. It was \ founded by Jorge de Alvarado in 1528, i at a place about six leagues north of its a present site, called Las Bermudas, and t was removed to the spot it now occupies a ?Ml??????? 1 1539. Under the crown it was the apital of the province, and afterwards ( f the Republic of Central America un- l il its dissolution in 1839. In 1853 it ft ( ontained about 30,000 inhabitants, a irge and beautiful cathedral, eight 1 ther churches, a university, a female eminary, several hospitals, and two ^ onsiderable aqueducts for supplying he city with water. Its trade was large K nd increasing. On the night of April ^ 6, 1854, it was almost completely desroyed by an earthquake, and about 100 Cfl ives were lost. A new city was laid out y the Government nearer the sea, and ailed Nuevo San Salvador ; but so large Sortion of the inhabitants preferred to uild their ruined houses, that in j anuary, 1855, the legislature reinstated he old city as the seat of government. of of The Cuban Troops. di O'Kelly, the New York Herald cor- to espomWnt in Cuba, gives the following 6* lescription of Garcia's command. He ays: A general review of the troops ras held, when over four hundred men ppeared on parade. About one-third j" >f the whole number were armed with J11 >reech-loading rifles, the balance with *? ipringfield and Enfield muzzle-loading ifles. Some of the battalions presented \ tolerably decent appearance, while ithers were in a frightfully ragged con- : lition. FalstafFs army of ragamuffins pre- rt ented a respectable appearance in com- UI >arison, at least so far as clothes were j11 concerned. Measured by the standard ?f my expectations, the force was well ^ slothed and equipped; for the Spanish >fficers had told me so many stories of " he wretched condition of the Cubans hat I expected to find soldiers and offi- *{ :ers in uniforms closely resembling " hat of our first parent on leaving para- ? Use. N So far from this being true, I was as- rf onished to find all the officers well ej Iressed, and some of them even taste- e' ully. There was no attempt at unifor- 81 nity, but nearly all were scrupulously dean. In the ranks there was more liversity, and many of the soldiers {" pere not alone ragged, but very nearly laked. One strapping brown man 81, itruck my imagination as the imperson- 0 ition of heroic patriotism. His costume e< sonsisted of the rim of a straw hat, hrough which appeared the crown of ? i woolly head, and something resemding a ragged and scanty dishcloth was *c )ound around his loins. A rifle and a ei >artouchicrc completed this patriot's 01 iquipment. m To the eye accustomed to the neatness tnd order of regular troops it would 41 iave been impossible to present a sight e: nore ridiculous than that varied line of 8( roops presented, and it was with diffi- & sulty I repressed a smile as I walked n.' lown the line ; but though to the eye n he pcene was grotesque, to the imagi- w mtion and tothe intellect it was sublime. w Shoeless, blanketless, in many cases . vithout coats, often with a piece of h> agged linen doing service as auniform, w hese men support the hardships and j" atigues of an unequal struggle with a >atience and courage that have seldom f,1 >een equalled and never excelled. If J re would respect the Cuban character P' re must see it hero in the camps. Be- 11 ween the men in the field and tho efeminate and cowardly race of the towns ? here is a separation so wide and so dis- 10 inct that I can scarcely believe that , . hey are of the same blood ; yet they . insure me that the change has been ln nade in the war. and that four years , igo they were like the men whom I can in lot help despising. About one-third of fl| he fighting men are white, and the . majority of the other two-thirds are of !n olor other than black. The most per- 5' ect equality exists, the officers taking ? ireccdence by rank, and though the ? aajority of the officers are white, a very arge proportion are colored. In the Divorce Business. The Legislature of Pennsylvania was I1 ailed upon to go into a divorce busi- .,< Less during its last session, having lassed seven special acts of divorce in E ases that could not be accommodated A ?y existing laws in the State courts. )ne of the cases disposed, of was pecu- f1 iar. Howard B. Hanmore, a corres- c ondent of the New York Herald, in jV 'hiladelphia, saw and loved Miss Netta tiggs Graff. Miss Graff is the daugher of a rich merchant who luxuriates in E hat elegant suburb "Chestnut Hill," rj nd Mr. Hanmore is poor but respecable, industrious, has a good presence ai nd some brains. Both were of lawful 81 ge to marry if they chose so to do, and E aanage their own family affairs gener- 1 lly. It was thought, Hanmore being E loor, the parents of Netta would object, a i _ iv _ i i. ^ cc -. - 01 na so me iwo weui uu suu wt-ic pri atcly married, each going home after 1E he ceremony and living just as though n< here had been no marriage. They met u' , few times afterward, and correspond- ^ d a little, and finally set a date for eaving the country for a bridal tour to w Europe. The wife failed to keep her m ppointment, and the ship left without jn he bridal pair. He wrote and received jc letter from his wife, in which she de- jj, lared that she would have no further _ ommunication with him, and absolute- = y and forever discarded him. He went o Chestnut Hill to get an interviewand ome sort of an explanation, but was reused admission to the house. There {? ras nothing left him but divorce ; but b. he courts had no jurisdiction over such ^ . case. He then appealed to the Legisature of the State, and asked for a di t" orce on the facts above stated. Netta n reply said it was all true?she had named Hanmore, but still she did not ove him and was determined never to ee him again. There was no force ? ised, for her parents who knew all p, bout it were perfectly willing to take" ta laumore home as a son-in-law. Still or all that she was determined to have lothing to do with him, and so the Leg- {J1 slature took cognizance of the case, took ? >itv on the poor love strained victims Bl mi rrrfmtpil the divorce bv a vote of 50 o 27 in the House, and 15 to 7 in the hi ienate. % Boys and Their Mothers. Some one has written beautifully to " he boys in the following manner. Here ni s a whole sermon in a few sentences: lu " Of all the love affairs in the world, lone can surpass the true love of the h? >ig boy for his mother. It is a love ?ure and noble, honorable, in the high- C1 st degree, to both. I do not mean oc nerely a dutiful affection. I mean a ove which makes a boy gallant and ourteous to liisniother, saying to every >ody plainly that he is fairly in love vitli her. Next to the love of her bus- ( ?and, nothing so crowns a woman's life vitli honor as this second love, this dc'otion of son to her. Aid I never yet mew a boy " turn out bad, who began vitli falling in love with his mother. Lny man may fall in love with a freshaeed girl, and the man who is gallant vitk the girl may cruelly neglect the rorn and weary wife. But the boy who s a lover to his mother in her middle ige, is a true knight who will love his J( vife as much in the sere-leaved autumn, 0 ? he did in the daisied spring time." j< # A Singular Ball. I The friends of Nixon, sentenced to j hung in New York, have given him ] jompliraegtary ball, which a local pa- ] r describes as follows: i A ballroom at 193 Bowery was last i ght the scene of, in one sense, one of e strangest and most peculiarly sug- < istive gatherings which ever took ] ace in this city, where reunions among i I classes, high and low, for all kinds 1 purposes, grave and gay, for politi,1 ends and for fun, sometimes run at. It was a social gathering, gotten j for a charitable purpose, to relievo e members of the starving family of a an over whom the shadow of the galws is fast deepening. Since the trial and the condemnation Nixon to death the wife and children the doomed man have been in the rest straits. The former was obliged i sell the very wagon from which Nixon lot Phyfer to buy bread. The horse ent next, and the family would have terallv starved but for the charity of ldge Dowling, who on the occasion of is first visit to Nixon's cell left him a andred dollar bill for his wife to buy od. It would be a curious aesthetical udy to determine the motives besides ue charity which entered the honest ish hearts which were touched with le recital of the misery of the conamned man's family, and who inauguited this extraordinary ball. The aderlying motive was pure and healthy, id they probably thought " a Bowery ill," notwithstanding the incongruity, as about the best way to raise a few ollars, "among the boys and girls" for ie children who are soon to be father88. Few people could understand lis, and many were inclined to believe lat the rumor of the last few days that ball was to be held last night for ixon's benefit was a cruel hoax. The iporter waited patiently outside the ltrance to the unlighted hall until even o'clock, and he, too, began to ispect that the whole affair was some eaningless, practical joke. At that our, however, a number of young men rived, the gas was lit, and the drearyoking musicians took their places bede a harp. By and by, at nearly twelve clock, half a dozen comfortably-dress1 young girls made their appearance, laperoned, of course. They were evijntly of the respectable, hard-working asses, and their advent was the signal ir the ball to commence. A doorkeep sat in the corridor outside, and no ie was allowed to pass without a ticket r without paying a dollar. The first altz was done in the solemn style which ie Bowery as well as the occasion incorably demanded. Poor Nixon him>lf could not have gone through it more ravely had he been present. As midight passed more people began to arve, and "the master of the ceremonies," ho appeared in a bine woolen shirt, hispered to the reporter:? "If you'll wait vou will soon see the ill crammed witn people who said they ill come here from the St. Patrick Allilce, at Tammany Hall, and the other ills which are going on elsewhere." By id by a cotillion was formed, the pivoty" waltz followed, and as the reirter hurried down stairs lie could hear lecaler, sharp ring of the master's voice rer the stillness of the Bowery as he touted "Away!" with the usual rising flection on the last sellable. Meanwhile Nixon himself lay sick in is bed in the condemned cell, wcighg the chances of his counsel's motion r a stay of proceedings. None <^f the mily of the condmned man of course ? " * i a a 1 I )peared at the Dan iasi nignt. ouvenu lildren were present and some workgmen, who came in unwashed and unimpt as when they had left work, and It evidently that there was nothing range in the scene or that their dollar id been misspent. Wholesale Slaughter. At Philadelphia, recently, an execuon of a large number captive street ogs took place. Several members of le city government and numerous reorters were present, as spectators, he dogs were taken, one by one, and irown into a deep dungeon, until sixtyx were there howling and snapping igether. Then a stream of carbolic ;id gas was turned in there. At first lere was one unanimouss yell, but len quiet followed, and in three mintes all but two wero stiff and dead, hese were taken out and shot, and then le members of the city government id the reporters were invited to a imptuous lunch. Ordinary mortals light not have had the keenest appete at such a time, but those who were resent assisted the lunch out of sight most as quickly as the gas had put at the dogs.
