glgrioiltural* BUTTER. Many women wlio make good Imtter have the custom of skimming their milk the saiir morning that they churn, and mixing the cream with that which they arc about to churn. This cream is left in the buttermilk, for it will not make butter till it becomes sour. Os this, any person who follows this practice may convince them selves by allowing their buttermilk to stand twenty four hours and then churning it a gain When the strippings (the last milk taken after three fourths or more have been milk ed) arc mixed with the cream, it should he allowed to coagulate before it is churned, or else a part of the butter will be left in the butt rtnilk, the stripping or last milk, and the first cream that rises, make the best butter. The Salt used for butter should be of the best quality. Thai which turns damp in wet weather is not fit to salt butter or pork. This dampness is caused by muri ate of lime, a salt of which there is a small quantity in sea-water ; it will attract an extraordinary quantity of water from the atmosphere, and always weaken the brine in which it is mix and. When good salt can not be procured, the damp salt may be freed from the muriate by the following process: make a strong brine with som of the salt, let the salt that is to he refill- and be put into this brine for a day, stirring it occasionally; then pour ofFthe brine, then put clean water to the salt, stir it for a few seconds, pour it off and dry the salt in the sun. To make this process intelligible, it should be observed that brine so strong that it can dissolve no more common salt, is s:ill capable of dissolving a considerable quantity of muriate of lime. To make good butter from thin ridged j backed cows in hot weather, the milk should be scalded as soon as it is strained, the cream will then rise as thick as that of mus cular hroad backed cattle, and make near ly as good butter, and the churning may be performed in less than halfan hour Care should be used that the milk is neither burnt nor smoked, for this reason the pot should be set on coals and not allowed to boil. One part sugar, one nitre, and two good salt, will preserve butter, almost unchan ged for a long time ; but the butter must not have been washed with water,* and when packed it must he secured from the air by covering it with a cloth dipped in molted butter, the edge of which must be soldered to the tub or crock with the melted butter. Charcoal, if it could he us and without dis ficulty, has a pow, rfui effect in preserving butter than any kind of salt. When a boy I had occasion to see many firkins of Irish butter opened which had been kept long in stores. A part of the casks were burnt to a coal on the inside. In all those the but ter was perfectly sweet; in all these that were not burnt, it was very much dama ge •('. — Halifax Colonial Farmer. * i .is is probably an error.—Gn. Adv. From the Massachusetts Ploughman. HORSES. There is as much difference in horses as in men anil women, and he who has a first rate animal may consider himself fortun ate. The Morgan breed of horses is high ly valu ‘d in New-Hampshire and in Ver mont, and for service this race has probably been superior to any in tiie country. The Morgan horse was made for service rather than for show ; and though he is not tall or large, lie will perform as much as some which are noted for those points. The truth is, as all men of experience must admit, that middle sized animals of all classes are capable of performing and are willing to perform more service in pro portion to their size, than very large ani mals of their class. Some dealers in horses think they can detect Morgan blood from the habit the ani mal has of leering.and showing his teeth ; hut from the knowledge we have of him we should not consider him cross or vicious. This race of horses is noted for great endu rance, and near the end of a journey you will find a real Morgan in as good spirits as at the commencement. You cannot always determine from the looks of an animal what his performance will tie; but by careful examination and comparison an experienced horseman will not often be deceiv’ and ; and any one will choose better and with more confidence af ter he has satisfied himself that the ances tors of the individual, for several genera tions, have proved good and true. W may be deceived and we never should rely wholly on ancestry, or on any one circum stance. We need all the aids we can com mand to ascertain all the qualities of a horse, and a purchaser needs to put in re quisition all his powers of judging. A caution to those who hare faulty Hor ties. —We often sutler ourselves to he- cheat ed in a trade through impatience to be rid of a horse, that has one fault. “If you have one friend, think yourself happy,” is an old maxim; and if your horse has hut one fault, it is often better to wink at it than to put him away sot a horse that lias two. One will hastily put away a horse, because he seems too small, for one that is lazy and slow : Another will exchange a great eater for a dainty horse and a taint laborer : An other will put away a horse on account of iiis complexion ! lor one that will stumble and kick. A lame horse is put off in haste for one that is in a consumption : One that trotshard for one that will trot only when he pleases; One that will not draw before [oxen for one that is unwilling to keep pace with them : And a horse with one oye for one tlmt sees too many sights. If your horse has hut one fruit keep him and he easy : If your wife lias two say no thin’’ about thegi.

By this unex pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of tiie means of completing tiie survey ol the State, on the original plan: il done at all, it must be at individual risk and expense. It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en lightened citizens of Georgia, that by ioliowing uu. the plan so happily commenced in 1837, ami pursued with unremitting energy to the present, the State has been contributing her mite, hum ble as it may be on the part oi her agent, to the cause of general science in our country, and the advancement of intellectual improvement among her citizens, in accordance \i ith other States oi ihe Union. There is but one alternative. In the present situation oi the survey, the work must either be abandoned and the important informa tion obtained by iour years investigation of the Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, orthe subscriber must depend for support, on individ ual patronage. He is determined to make an el tori, lor the benefit and honor ol Ins adopted State, to jiroceed with the survey. From termer ex perience of the unbounded liberality and gene rous hospitality of his iellov citizens, in differ ent parts of the State, lie is confident that, in making an appeal to their sympathy and patron age, it will not be made in vain. That a complete survey may be made of the re maining counties of the Slate, and the whole consolidated and published for the information and benefit oi the citizens, public patronage is most respectfully solicited. A work ot this kind, is much needed m Georgia, a State comprising an area of sixty thousand square miles, being destitute of a single correct May, Geography, or history ot the same. A majority of the citizens must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci ties of tiie different sections. Favored as the subscriber lias been, by lour years labor, as Stale Geologist, in different parts of the State, in collecting materials lor a complete report ot an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na tural History, he trusts that lie shall be able to meet tiie approbation of his fellow citizens. The subscriber pledges his honor, that the proceeds arising from subscription tor the work shall be appropriated to the completion ol the survey ol the remaining counties ol the Stale, ■ and that they shall be finished as they will be • needed lor publication.
