Butter ia Sacks.

Mr. c. A. Huntington, whose name is signed
below, was formerly a citizen of Rockford, and
is now resident of Washington Territory town
of Olympia Mr. H, whom we know as a very
observing man, communicates as follows to the
Rockford Register an account OF the mode adopt
ed out there of preserving butter, which is no
more or less than packing it up.
Taking into account the climate, it is one of
the best, if not the very best country in the
world for diaries and think the dairyinen here
have an art in the management of making butter
that might be turned to good account at the
East, but which never saw practiced till came
to this coast. allude to the manner of putting
up butter for the market. Perhaps necessity was
the mother of this invention, but that makes the
invention none the less valuable Here such a
thing as a butter frkin or stone jars to pack
butter IN Is unknown; but all butter is packed
In muslin sacks made in such form that the
package, when nplete, Is a cylinder three or
four inches in diameter, and from half foot
to a foot and half in length.--The butter goes
from the churn as soon as worked over, into the
cylindrical bags made Of fine bleached muslin.
The packages are then put into large casks con-
tanning strong brine with slight admixture of
saltpeter, and by means of weights kept always
below the surface. The cloth integument always
protects the butter from any impurities that
chance to come in contact with the package, and
being always buried in brine that protects it
from the action of the air; and it has beyn
tanned by trial that butter put up in this way
will keep sweet longer than in any other way.
Besides it is found easier and cheaper for the
manufacturer than 10 packEeither IN .tirkins or
jars. And for the retailer, there Is no telling the
advantage on the score of safety and convenience.
These rolls OF butter can lie upon his counter rs
safe from injury, from dust or other contact Is
bars of lead-can be rolled UP for his customer

bundle OF matches ii the customer, when ne
gets home, discovers specks on the outside Of the
