The proper temperature at the commencement of churn-

it is completed. If the cream is- too warm, (a lule ice
may be put in the water if necessary ) if 1oo cold, stand

I beg to call your attention is tht of certain other British
subjects who are interested in some grants of land in Texhs,
which were conceded to them by the Mexicun Republic.
It has been represented to her Majesty's Government, that
these persons have been prevented, by the disturbrd state
of affairs in Texas, from fulfilling the conditions* attach* d
to the grants in question, and that their lands have, upon
this preteuce, ber n confiscated by the present a m hoi igie s in
that State, But it appears that if these British subjects
have foil’d to fulfil these conditions, it has been solely in
consvqehee of the disturbrd state of affirsin "Texas,and
not through any default of their owmthat they have done
so; and under these circumstances. Her Majesty’s.Gov-
emnment consider thatthe parti* s orerntildto ther favor-
able interposition with the Texian wuthorities, end her '
Majesty’s Goveramept’ hoprsthat the Texian anthoriti s
may beinducedt restore to those British eubjct, with-

and a part of the report of the Committee of Foreign Re-

measure the nature of these chaims and the action that was
hud upon them by our government, A perusal of these
extracts should, we think, convince ahy disinterested per-
son that these claims are entirely without the control of
" the British government ; for the persons formerly entitled
to the lands. were Mexican citizens, and as they chose to
abandon the country and take part with Mexico against
Texas their lands were forfeited, and Great Britain has

One more remark, and I have done. Housewives
must snake their oirn butter, if they would have ir-mad

correctly. ' .
P. S. —We usually make cheese during July and Au-
gust. when the weather is too warm for preset ving Lutlei
and the pce of fresh butter is generally v ry low.
This would be suficient to makeup the short crop in

excitement, as rapid driving, beating, kicking, scolding,
&e , will affect the milk unfavorably, and should not be
allowed. ’ Begularily in milking should also. be observ-
ed; for cows are such creatures of habit that they soon
judge of time with great correctness. . It is very desirable,
also, that the same person should always do the milking,
as cows dislike strangers Bui above all, be sure that it fa
done in a cleanly and pertect minnner. (
The Cellar or Milk-House is a-matter of very great
impottance. Many persons snppose that a spring house
is necessary in order to make first rate butler in summer;
but such is not the case, Inderd,Jam fully convinced
that the dampness which water occasions in a milk house
is mors injurious than the additional coolness is benfi.
cul I prefer a good dry cellar, well lighted and ventil-
ated, with a smooth brick or stone floor, the w indows op-
ening inside, and protected with wire gauze to exclude
flies and insects. Every thing should be excluded from .
the milk cellar, that cho possihly taint she atmosphere;
for it is utterly impossible to make good sweet butter, if
the milk is kept in a badly ventllated cellar, or where
there is mouldy wood, an old boxes, burrels, &bei, or vege-
tables fruit fish, ment, an J the like.
