To Make Butter.—During summer skim the milk when the sun hag not heated the dairy ; at that season ib should stand for butter twenty-four hours without skimming, and forty-eight hours in winter. Deposit the cream pot in a very cold cellar, if your dairy is hot more so. If you cannot churn daily, change it into scalded fresh pots, but never omit churning twice a week. If.possible put the churn in jft .thorough air; and if not a barrel one, set it in a tub of water two feet deep, which will give firmness to the butter. When the butter is come-, pour off the buttermilk and put the .butter into a fresh-scalded pan or tubs which have afterwards been in cold_ water. Pour- water on it and let it'lie to acquire some hardness before you work it; then change the water and beat it with flat boards so perfectly that not the least taste of butter-milk remain, and that the water which must be often changed shall be quite clear in color: Then work, so me salt < Into.. h r weigh, and make it into forms, throw them into cold water, in- an, earthen pan and cover of the queen's ware. Yon will then have very nice and cool batter in the hottest; weather. It requites more working in hot than in cold weather/bnt in neither should be left with a paatical of bnatter-joiiilc, .' " Mb.
