FLAVOUR IN BUTTER.
A correspondent says:—"lt is very well uriderstdod by all dairymen that particular care should be taken to protect cream from any impure or strong odours, as it causes the butter to taste unSleasantly. Fresh paint or sour milk or irt from the barn yard will give a bad taste to the butter. When the fruit trees are in blosssbm arid the breath of the flowers comes upon the cream, it gives the butter a peculiar sweet taste that is rery delightful; also the odour of new made may is beneficial to butter. _ But these thing are transient, so I experimented a little with happy results. Under the windows of my milk-room I sowed sweet clover and sweet peas ; the peas are not in flower yet, but the perfume of the clover is very powerful; it not only fills the wholo room with its fragrance, but it gives to the butter a very improving relish. It takes but very little time to iow the seed and oare for the plants, and ' it is labour that pays. I used to gather the clover and sweet marjoram leaves and carry them into the room, but the above plan is easier, and the effects are more lasting." ■
