SIMPLE BUTTER COOLER.

Procure large new Hower,pot Of a sufficient
size to cover the butter plate, and also saucer for
the fower-potto rest in, upside down; place a
trivet or meat stand-such as is sent to the oven
when iont is blkel-in the saucer, and put on
this trivet the plate of butter; now FL tie sau-
Ger with water AMI turn the fower.pot over the
butter, so that its bottom edge will be below the
water. The h,le in the aower-pot must be fitted
with a cork; the butter will then he in what We
call an air-tight chlmber. Let the outside Of ths
hower-pot be then thoroughly drenchad with wa
ter, and placed in as coo spot as yol can. II
this be done over night, the butter will be as
"frm as a rock" at breakfast time; or, If placed
there in the morning, the butter will be quite
hard for use at tea hour. The reason Of this
is, that when water evaporates, it produces COLI:
the pourous pot draws up the water which in
warm weather quickly evaporatcs from the sides +,
and thus cools it, and as no warm air can now get
at the butter It becomes firm and cool in the hot.
