Scotch gardeners scorn to have had a cdebrity for a very lonjj period, for Sir John Sinclair, writing 7"2 years ago, iiiyi that thoy had long been eminent m that vocation, not only in (treat Britain but jibioad.

They are a hardy iace, accustomed to labour, and able to undergo great fatigue often when subsisting on fare which would not only be thought homely bnt scanty.'

To Mam; Coon Ikrrnt.— A pii/e essay in the Jim nl J\rir !«>/./•>• contains the following concerning the proper conditions for making butter:— 'Jo make good butter requnes pure air, proper temperature of milk, and the most pi i fejt cluanhuess. from lhe timo the milk is diawn fiom the cow till the completed article is ready for the consunnr. It also requires the cxeicise of observation and common sense to know exactly when to skim, when to chin n, and how much working it requires, how much Hilt to put in, and how to pick. I'aiticular at tcution must be paid to the cellar or dairy in which the milk is kept ; for, as milk readily alisoibs volatile matters, it is of the Hi at impoitance that the air of the milk room be kept puic and untainted. The room should bo of a tempeiatuic of about f>o to 5.1 deg., model ately light, easily kept clean, and well ventilated. A noil-drained, dry, porous, earthen floor is bcit for maintaining a pure atmosphere, as fresh earth is an excellent absorbent If it can be accomplished, the best way ii to have a ' spring house,' as there in no hotter way of piescnmg tho equal temperature necessary for the dairy than the use of a peimanent spring of water.
