How TO KEEP BUTTER SwEEr.-It is the
easiest thing in the world. Simply put in clean
jars, and cover with strong brine. This will
keep your butter year, fresh and sweet as we
know by experience. 1t is equivalent to can
ming fruit. The brine in the case of the jar acts
as heading, keeping the air out. But butter
should be made we'll ; we have never expert
mented on poor butter. Work out buttermilk
till you have only pure ''beads" clear as rain
water; but do not work it 80 much as to break
the grain, in which case you have tough, heavy
article in winter, and grease in summer Such
butter We would advise no one TO try TO preserve.
