WORTH KNowING.-A correspondent of the
Maine Farmer says: '.Many a housewife may be
glad to know, when she has piece of fresh meat
she wishes to keep few days, that it can be
successfully done by placing it in a dish and
covering it with milk. Sour milk or butternilk
will do as we'll / have practiced the plan for
years" % -
