Cows uXouUy milked than others will give richer mUk and consequently more butter. The morning s Ttdrawn milk of each making, at all times and sea ions, is richer than any other part of the milk, and much richer thar. the first-drawn, which is the poor A cow, before the become again tn calf, gives richer milk than when she is pregnant, a portion of the secretion which supplies the richer milk being n0 doubt withdrawn to support the fetus. A well fur mcd cow will generally give more and belter milk than an ill-formed one. Old pasture will produce richer butter than new. Cows kept constantly in the Ce are said to give richer milk than those allowed i'o so at lanre at pasture ; but the latter are supposed i0 vudd mo"e cheese the exercise, perhaps, prevent ing the he er deposition of the richer secretion. Many oilier circumstances may be known in different local ities to affect the quantity and quality of the milk o cows ; but a sufficient number have been here related to show how varied are the circumstances which af fect the produce of the dairy, and how perplexing it must he. to conduct it in the most profiloble way. The phenomena accompanying the changes in milk are well known to every dairy maid ; hut lew of them know that the constituent parts of milk are only me chanically commixed ; and this must be the case even in the udder of the cow, otherwise the aftenngs, which had occupied the upper part of the udder, would not be the richest portion oi the milk, nor the first-drawn the poorest. All, theretore, that is re quired to separate the different parts of milk is rest and time. The cream or fatly part flu-its to the sur fica in the course of a few hours ; in a little longer time, according to the state of the temperature, ihe ciseous portion becomes sour; and in a greater length of time the acidity becomes so powerful as to coau :ite the milk in one mass ; and in a still greater lapse of time, the coagulated mass separates into two parts one becoming firmer, or cheese, the other again fluiJ. or whey. The rationale of this natural process is thus well given by M. Kaspail : "Milk, when viewed by the microscope with a power cf only 100 diameters, exhibits spherical globules, the largest ol which are not imre than .0001 of an inch in diame ter, and which, from their sma'.lness, appear of a deep black at the edges. These globules disappear on the addition of alkali, sucn as ammonia, and the milk then becomes transparent. If the proportional quali ty of milk be more considerable, il forms a coaguluiu ot a beautiful while color, on the addition of conceir trated sulphuric acid. This coaguluin does not arise simply from the adhesion of the globules to each oth er, but it may be plainly seen by the microscope that the ulohules are evolved in a transparent albuminous i..-nu t.rl.ttk Vjj tin ntmpnnnM nt a crranufir llieilltf lailC, nmiil ...- to structure. Milk, then, is a watery fluid, holding in solution albumcnanii oil, by the agency of an alkaline salt or a pure alkali, and having suspended in it an immense number ol globules, which are in part al buminous, and in part oily. The albuminous glob ules must tend to subside slowly to the bottom of the vessel by their specific gravity, while the oily glob ules must have a tendency to rise to the surface. But the oily globules being dispersed in myriads amidst eqiially numerous albuminous globules, they cannot rise la the surface without taking with theui a great er or less number of globules of albumen. Hence, at the end of twenty-four hours, we find on tl e sur face of the milk a crust composed of two layers, the upper one of which contains more butter than milk, while the lower contains more milk than butter. The separation will take place equally with or without the contact of ihe air. The liquid part which lies under the crust contains the dissolved albumen and oil, with a portion of the sugar, the soluble salts, and a certain quantity of the albumen and oily globules." Milk consists, besides water, of organic substan ces destitute of nitrogen sugar and butter; of an or ganic substance containing nitrogen in considerable quantities curd or casein ; and of inorganic or saline ii inner, partly soiunie ana parny insoiuoie in waier Tliic ta flu. .oinnncif tAti nf siu.-'a n i A 4u.a milk er.

Of the different kinds cf milk enumerated, the superior sweetness and thinness ot mare s milk are accounted for by the large proportion of sugar and the small quantity of casein it contains. It appears that beistyn contains nearly three times more casein than milk, and only a trace of sugar of milk, no salts, and a large proportion of mucus, and nine times more casein than mares milk. Milk boils and freezes about the same temperature as water. Milk may be prevented becoming sour by being kept in a low temperature ; in a high tempera ture, on the other hand, it rapidly becomes sour, and, at the boiling point, it curdles immediately. The ucui oi mim is caned the lactic acid, which in Us na ture resembles acetic acid, the acid of vinegar. "The change which takes place when milk becomes sour is easily understood," as is well observed by Professor Johnston. " Under thn inflnonoo f ih. elements of a portion of the milk sugar are made to assume a new arrangement, and the sour lactic acid is the result. There is no loss of matter, no new ele ments are called into play, nothing is absorbed from ine air, or given oiT into it ; but a simple transposi- w. , elements ot tti sugar takes place, and now acid compound is produced.

The milka examined 4 days, 6 days, 21 days, and 30daye after parturition, contained casein and no albumen. It would appear from these observations that the milk of the cow is at first verv similar to the serum of blood : and that the casein. sutrar of milk, and lactic acid, to which it owes moch of its distinguishing characteristics, begin first to make their appearance in it about eleven days before parturition. Brison states the specific gravity of various milks ; bqt it is important to remark that it varies so much, even in the milk from the same animal, that it is im possible to give a correct mean. The specific gravi ty of cows' milk Is low, being 1,0324 ; its whey is, ol course, still lower, 1,0193 ; and that of ewes' milk is the highest, being 1,0409. Lassaigne examined the specific gravity of cows' milk at various distan ces of time before and after parturition, at a tempera ture ot 46 Fahrenheit, and the results were general ly, that at 31 days before parturition it was highest, being 1,064 ; and lowest at 6 days after parturition, being 1,033. . Cream cannot rise through a great depth of milk. If milk is therefore desired to retain its cream for a time, it should be put into a deep narrow dish ; and if it be desired to free it most completely of its cream, it should be poured into a broad, flat dish, not much exceeding one inch in depth. The evolution of cream is facilitated by a rise, and retarded by a depression of temperature. At the usual temperature of the dairy, at 50 Fahrenheit, all the cream will probably rise in thirty-six hours, and at 70 it will perhaps all rise in half that time ; and when the milk is kept near the freezing point the cream will rise very slowly, because it becomes partially solidified. Lassaigne found no difference in the ratio between the bulks of cream and whey from the same cow, fed on beet-root, hay, and straw, from 42 days before to 4 days after parturition, when the quantities were 200 volumes of cream to 800 of whey; but by 30 days after parturition the volume of cream had de creased to 64, and that of whey had increased to 936; and by that time the water in 100 parts of milk had also increased to 90. " Cream does not consist wholly of fatty matter, (butter,") observes Professor Johnson, but the globules of fat, as they rise, bring up with them a variable proportion of the casein or curd of the milk, and also some of the milk-sugar. It is owing to the presence of sugar that cream is capable of becoming sour, while the casein gives it the property of curd ling when mixed with acid fruits. The proportion of cheesy matter in cream depends upon the richness of the milk, and upon the temperature at which the milk 's kept during the rising of the cream.- In cool weather the fatty matter will bring up with it a large quantity of the curd, and form a thicker cream, con taining a greater proportion of cheesy matter. The composition of cream, therefore, is very variable much more so than that of milk and depends very much upon the mode in which it is collected." In warm weather, therefore, the cream should be rich, though thin. Cream, at a specific gravity of 1,0244, according to the analysis of Berzelius, consists of Butler, separated by agitation 4.5 Curd, separated by coagulating the butter-milk 3.5 Whey 92.0 . The quantity of cream which any given milk con tains can be easily measured by the galaclumeter, which consists of a narrow tube of glass not more than 5 inches in length, 3 of which is divided into 100 parts, and on being filled with milk to the top of the graduated scale, whatever number of degrees the thickness of the cream embraces will be the per cen tage of the cream yielded by the milk. For exam ple, if the cream covers 4 lines of the scale, it is 4 per cent. ; if 8 lines, 8 per cent. M. Uaspatl alleges that the dairymen in the neigh borhood cf Paris take off the cream from their milk, and supply its place with raw sugar, and an emulsion either of sweet almonds or liemp-sced. Milk is sometimes adulterated by the addition of starch, and sometimes a portion ofcarbonate ot potash is added to it to prevent it from curdling. I have detected mag nesia in cream in Holland, put in to thicken it. In London, the milk is so adulterated with water that some dairymen have adopted the practice of driving their cows along the streets, and supplying it to their customers direct irorn the cow. Uolli the milk and cream obtained from the dairies in the neighborhood of Edinburgh are generally frea from adulteration. The worst material put into the milk in the public dairies of Scotland, is water." Telegraphed for the "Washington Union. Arrival if the Steame- Aiagara. jf Aree days later from Europe. . New York.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS. The Crops. The wheat harvest has proved un usually abundant the present season, and Vhe farmers will realize a gratifying return for their labors. The corn crop is also very promising, and our friends in the country are in high spirits at the pros pect of a fine crop before them. We devoutly. hope they may not be disappointed ; for the failure in last "year's crop has put them hack " considerably. Elizabeth City "Pioneer. Ghbat Hail Storm in Person. We learn from Mr. Win. H. Smith, of Person county, that on the 4th inst., a hailstorm occurred in that county which dislocated wheat, oats, corn and tobacco, and killed a number of rabbits and birds. The hail stones arc represented to be as large as hen-eggs, which cover ered the'rrround to the depth of from four to six in ches. It commenced at Gordonlon, and reaching about three miles wide it extended to the Ne.use Riv er in length. The storm took place between 9 and 10 o'clock, P. M., and lasted half an hour. Milton Chronicle. We are now in the midst of-wheat harvest, and the crop has seldom, if ever, yielded more abun dantly or better grain. The dry weather that cut short the oat crop proved as favorable as could have been to wheat. Corn, thouirh small for the season. has been finely cultivated, and looks vigorous and promising enough. Randolph Herald. To Free Wheat from Smut. Prepare the seed wheat in the following manner: Take Blue Stone, in the proportion of one pound to ten bushels of wheat. Dissolve the Blue-stone in warm water, to which add cold water sufficient to cover the wheat, which should soak at least twelve hours. Pour off the water, roll the wheat while wet in lime, and then sow il. Mr. William C.Erwin, an experienced and an ob servant farmer of Burke county, having tested this plan with entire success, has full confidence in its ef ficacy. Lincoln Republican. A friend writing us from Lincolnton, under date ot 10th June, says : "We have a glorious season about here. The late wheat looks fine, while the early, which is now being cut, promises a good turn out. The Oat crop has also come out considerably, the last three weeks. Corn is still held at 62$ cents and but little offering." Salisbury Watchman. The Tobacco Crop. The present dry and cold weather militates much asrainst the tobacco crop. Many of the plants that have been set out have per ished, and the plants in beds are so scarce that per sons cannot re-plant. Pets. Intel. The Weather and the Crops. In this place ex cept one or two light showers, barely sufficient to lay the dust, we have had no rain fcr several weeks, till Sunday evening last. The wheat crop uninjured by the drouth, has been harvested, and is unusually good. The spring oats will prove a perfect failure. Early 1 corn is much injured. That which was planted la ter, will improve, and if the rains, of which the pros pect is fair, shall continue, may yield an abundant harvest. What is said of this vicinity, with the ex ception of soie few localities where partial showers have prevailed, judging from our exchanges, 'ill ap ply to all portions of this State, and South Carolina. Milledgeville ( Ua.J Union. Crops, &c, in Mississippi. The Vicksburg Whiff of the 5th of June, says : " 1 he weather is very w arm and dry, and the crops in this county are suffering very much tor want ot rain, not having had any, with the exception of slight showers, for months Dast. Cotton is all clean and in fine order for growing when it receives a good snow er corn is very much injured by the tirougtu, ana much of it past recovery. We learn that Hinds county has had some showers during the past week, which benefit the crops very much. One great difficulty experienced in this county is the want of rain suffi cient to set out sweet potatoes. It we 6houia lose this crop it will be seriously felt." The Harvest. They have commenced cutting wheat on some of the plantations on the James River, Va. The Charlestown (Va.) Spirit of Jefferson, says : " The harvest in this county win generally com mence from the 20th to the 26th of the present month.

Some of the fields in the beautiful Valley of the Hawkskbill are scarcely worth harvestins- In Rock ingham the joint-worm is supposed to have destroyed near one-half the crop. Sumter Countf, (Ala.) June 2, 1851. Up to about the 25th of May we have had an almost universal drought of several weeks, which, following the cool unpropitious weather of March and April, has made crops backward, although the dry weather has been tolerably warm. These causes have made the corn small and subjected it to attacks of the chinch bug. The cotton is also small, but very healthy book ing, and, as before intimated, the partial commence ment of sbowerv weather promises to continue. On . , 1 . . - , 1 - tn, yesterday we had an abundance in this v cin.ty. Cot- . h - .... . . . auo, e.iueii oiijui iiijmy ujr tusi, is in j gvw., ing from seven to nine or ten bushels per acre, I lis ink. Rye is cut and good. Oats very low, and the earlier crops so far gone before the rain as to be light ; the later crops may not be beyond the reach of improve ment by rain, and half the oat crop may be very good. Present indications are that we shall have throughout the country plenty of rain. Fruit: Apples area lit tle scarce, but Peaches and Plums plenty and promise well. The Sumter (Ala.; Democrat says that the crops in that part of the country are greatly wanting rain. The cotton plant is unusually small for this season of the year, but looks healthy, and promises pretty well should the season be entirely favorable, to yield something near a fair crop. Corn is suffering, and the probability is we shall have a light crop. The Cahawba (Ala.) Gazette of the 6th inst., has the following : Since the 3d of last month we have had but one little shower of rain, and that did not penetrate the ground more than two inches. Such a long and dry spell at this season of the year is uncommon and has injured tbe crop, especially corn and oats to a con siderable extent. Even the leaves on the trees appear to be parched and withered, and a thick coating of dust covers nearly every thing. We are also sorry to say that the health of the country is not very good. We are suffering for rain. Early Cotton. The Galveston News of the 6th says : " We have received a boll of cotton, already formed, and at least an inch in length. This is the earliest specimen we have yet seeir? or heard of ; and, we believe, cannot be equalled in the State. It is a fair evidence of the forward state if the cotton crop on the Trinity. The boll was grown on Col. Wil liamson's plantation, about eight miles wes of Swart wout, near the river." The Crops ox Red River. The Alexandria (La ) Republican of the 3lst nit., has the following: We were shown on Thursday, two Cotton blooms from the plantation of R. C. Hynson,esq.,on Bayon Rapides. This is right early for them, considering the season we have had, but it is no indication of the crop throughout the parish or on Red River generally. The crop out of which they came was one of the ear liest that was planted in the parish, and has been well attended to and cultivated. Few crops, if any, areas far advanced, while perhaps the much larger portion of the Cotton in the parish is from three weeks to a month behind it. For the want of rain, it is feared the young Cotton will not come to anything. The bulk of the Corn crop has already been destroy ed beyond redemption, for the want of rain. Very few planters indeed will be able to make more than a third or fourth of a crop. The sugar cane is suffering almost as much, owing to the drought, as corn is. v.

Where the little Rio Canimo winds its silver thread down through the rocky hills east of Aiaianzas, 10 me bay, nun stands the house where 1 was born; a grand, massive old castle, built ere the red cross of England waved over the ramparts of the Moro. Bui its walls echo to the tread of strangers! I, the last son of my race, am an exile in a foreign land sentenced to death at home; here prescribed as an "adventurer," a "robber," a "pirate"! My beau tiful wife my Sabaniio lies low in the grave. My boy the hope of my manhood was struck to the hea.tbylhe lance-of a brutal soldier, because he would not tell whither his father had fled ; that father on whose head a price had been set a price which the livened blood-hounds coveted! The lands of my fathers, seized by the same tyrant bands, have been sold to a stranger. The fragrant coffee-fields wherein I wantoned, in my happy childhood, are till ed by those who have no associations there to love, save the sordid gain they may yield ! "And why is this ?" the reader asks. I will reply ; and would that in lines of living fire each word might be writ ten to burn evermore before the people of a country once oppressed, now free and happy, though such " pirates " as a Lafayette a De Kalb a De Grasse a D'Estaiug a Pulaski a Montgomery aided in gaining to her that freedom. When Tacon, iron hearted and iron handed, was Governor-General of Cuba, 1 had attained my major ity.; and as soon as I was released from the surveil lance of the guardian appointed by the Government, (I should have premised that I was an orphan,) I married one- whom I had loved from my early boy hood, and never bloomed a lovelier flower beneath a tropic sun. We loved were happy. I was rich, and though faxed heavily, under a constant Govern ment espionage, moved on through a few years in peace. When Tacon had gone, and after Espeleta jess a tyrant, but more a villian than the first came in times began to alter. Privileges of the slightest kind had to be bought ! Did I wish a pound of pow der and shot, and a gun to kill the pheasants that flew across my fields, a license was required, for which I had to pay a tax, heavier than ever was laid ! Not a grain of coffee not a leaf of tobacco not a cane of sugar grew, that was hot counted not taxed. Murmur not, ye tithe-paying men of England ! Do not complain, ye men of Russia, whose lives and fortunes arecast on the very breath of your Autocrat ! Do not feel discontented, ye sons of the Crescent, (no home allusion,') whose lives depend upon the bow string and fickle mind of an imperious Sultan ! Ye are safer far, and happier too, than the Creoles of Cuba, who exist under the control of those who, born afar off, have no sympaties with, no lies to bind thetu to the soil of the Island. But, back to my tale. The lime of Espeleta pass ed away. Laden with riches, wrung unjustly from the people, he returned to Spain, rich in all save honor, and that was hidden by the tears and blood of those wliom tie had wronged. Ancona followed. But he could not stay he was too honorable. The blood ot the Cid flowed in his veins. He was re called. O'Donnell came the descendant of a Celtic. a brave people.

He, too, was-recalled, and Alcov came ! Then clouds red as blood and dark as the beginning of a storm when day closes arose over the people of Cuba. The burdens of the people were never felt till then! And did they murmur, a hired spy was near to catch each word ! Everysigh they breathed a threat, whispered between closed and grating teeth, was reported ; and what followed ? Death or exile, and confiscation of property the garotte, a volley of musketry, or a rapid flight from the land of their birth ! Yet, why do I wander from my own history it is brief, and I will not trouble you long. When Alcoy came, my boy, Caslello, was eleven years of age. My wife was beautiful, though a matron. My overseer died, and I employed a new one, who came well recommended, even as a centle- man whom poverty forced to ask for such a situation. Regarding poverty as a misfortune rather than as a crime, 1 treated him as a gentleman and as a friend. That man was a spy of Alcoy s ! Not a word passed from my lips not a murmur at injustice did I utter that he did not record, and send to his master as I af terwards learned ! One night, never shall I forget it, for my poor wife was lying low with a fever, on a couch from which she never rose s-a merchant from New York. whose vessel lay in the harbor of Matanzas, was my guest. He came to arrange for the purchase of my crop and while entertaining him, I made remarks contrast ins: the freedom ot his government with the tvrannv I of that under which I suffered.

Suddenly a faithful servant rushed into the room, and told me that the overseer and a guard of soldiers were riding towards the house. In an instant 1 knew all com prehended my danger, and so did my angel.'wife ! "Fly, my amore !" she cried ; 14 it will be death if they seize you " 1 cannot, and leave you " They will not harm me. W ...J she answered " 00, 1 will get well, and with our boy will follow !" I kissed my boy, and prepared toy. How to go was the next question. My friend had his boat and crew in the river. I hastily awoke him. stated the facts, and, as our foes entered the house, we left it by a back entrance, gained the boat, and in three hours I was safe in his vessel. Hastily we sailed, and soon arrived at the great city of your Republic. Oh ! how anxiously did I wait for news from my home. When it came, it was terrible Death had not such terrors. My boy was killed that night by a soldier, because he would not tell him which way I had gone, or reply to his insolent questions. With in three days my wife was in her grave. A price was placed on my head my estates confiscated, I registered as a traitor, and all this merely because I murmured against injustice and wrong. I am here widowod, childless, poor, wretched ! And, because, with a few brave, chivalrous noblemen, I desire to return and free my fellow Cubans from chains, I learn that I am considered a robber and a pirate. I forbear to .comment on this ! Though the land wherein I have sought refuge, casts this stigma upon me, I will not complain, but, biding that time, when inivht will yield to right, when Uuba will lefree. Remain the " EXILE." New Orleans, May 21. For the Standard. Mb. Holden: Allow me to address you a few lines, and through your columns, the professors of music in our State, on a subject worthy the conside ration of all who whom it concerns ; namely, on a a general system of musical education. No doubt all professors of music, engaged in tea ching the art they profess, have found great difficul ty in advancing pupils who have been indifferently taught ; and it strikes ine that by a proper understand- ' ing among themselves, a system of proceedings might be laid down, by which their labour might be greatly lightened and the scholars more rapidly ad vanced. We have now in our female schools a num ber of able music teachers, who are striving with energy to elevate the taste for classical music in our State, but their efforts can only be of parjial success if left to combat bad habits singlelianded. An idea has risen in my head, that were it possible, a meeting of professors of music could take place some where in the State, say Raleigh, and consult concerning the best plan of teaching their art, and form themselves into a permanent association, for the promotion of musical taste : great good might be de rived therefrom. If .you think the subject worth notice, coald yon not publish it, with your comments t ' Perhaps some of the gentlemen engaged in teaching would give us their ideas.concerning this matter also. An Admirer or Good Music. Salem, June 16, 1851. . , The people of Ohio have accepted the new Consti tution by a considerable majority. They have alas decided against empowering the Legislature to license the sale ot araenteptrtts NORTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD. At a largand respectable Meeiing of the friends of th Central Rail Road, held in Raleiah, on Mon day the 23d instant, on motion William D. Haywood fcsq., was called to the Chair, and W. W. HoJden was appointed Secretary. W. W Holden briefly explained the object of the Meeting, and offered the following Resolutions: . Rooked, That we bail with gratification the cer tainly that the North Carolina Rail Road will be builu Resolved, That we propose that ground be broken on said Road at Greensborough, on the 11th of next month, the day after the Annual Meeeling of the Stockholders at that place ; and that the President of the Road be requested to invite the friends of the work to-be present on the occasion. Before the Resolutions were put to the Meeting, the President of the Road, Gov. Morehead, being present, was called upon, and he respouded at some length and in an interesting manner. He gave a most gratifying account of the progress of the lettings of the contracts thus far. He stated that the whole of Wayne, with the exception of a Bridge and a half a mile, known as section No. 3, had been let; and that, indeed, the entire line from this poiut to the Neuse River ut Waynesborough, might be considered as substantially under contract. He had no doubt that by the 10th of July next, the time fixed upon for the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders, the whole line would be under contract ; or that, if small portions here and there, should remain untaken, they would be taken and the contracts finally closed by that time. Once begun, he said the work would be speedily completed, for it would be progressing at all points at the same time. He said he was gratified that the Resolutions above had been offered. He desired to see as many of the friends of the Road present at ureensborouffn on tne occasion reterred to, as could conveniently attend, to witness the first breaking of ine eartn in mis great enterprise. Gov. Morehead's remarks were warmly cheered. The Meeting was also addressed by Sion H. Roof ers, Esq., who spokeamid much applause of the pros pects ot the work, ot the dimculties it had surmoun ted, and of the certainty of its success. The Resolutions were then unanimously adopted. The best and most enthusiastic feeling pervaded the Meeting. On motion of Alfred Jones, Esq., the City papers were requested to publish these proceedings; and on motion of Sion H. Rogers, tha Meeting adjourned to meet in Greensborough on the 10th of July next. The assemblage dispersed with three cheers, long and loud, for the North Carolina Rail Road. W.

The teachers are all highly qualified for tbeir several departments, by learning, ex perience, zeal and tact. Ihorougliness is tbe term by which we would designate Mr. Gonld's method of teach' ing.
