How To PACK BUTTER Tho method of
packing butter in common vogue on the Pacific
coast, as will be seen from the following deScrip
tion, Is very unlike our own. They never use
Jars or kegs. but put it in muslin sacks, made
in such form that the package, when complete,
is a cylinder three or four inches in diameter,
and from half foot to foot in length. These
sacks are made of fine blcached muslin, and
the butter goes into them as soon as worked
over. The packages are then put into large
casks containing strong brine with slight mix
turc OF Saltpetre, aud by means Of weights kept
always below the surface.
The cloth intcgument always protects tho
butter from any impurities that chance to come
in contact with the package. and being always
buried in brine, that protects it from the ac-
ton OF the air and ii has been aSccrtaiEed by
trial tha, butter put up in this way will keep
sweet a long time. These butter sacks are
ranged upon the counters OF the dealers as
readily as bars OF soap; and when any portion
of one is wanted, the end of the sack is stripped
down aud the necessary quantity detached,
when the sack is replaced, leaving the remain
ing portion as secure as before any part was
removed This plan might not DO feasible IN
orr climate without the aid OF Ice IN summer !;
hut the immersion in brine is worthy OF con
sidcration on the part OF dairymcn and butter
dealers.

Frozen FISH TX Mayor +. Geiersdori, Of
Slndu>ky, has commenced the business Of
lree2lng h~h for winter use. This is n branch
Oi Industry on our Northern lakes, and the
SanlU>ky Register gives the following account
Of how it is done -
The first thing is pounding the ice. Ice and
salt are mixed n proper proportions aud poun-
dcd fine Tor use in the new patent rctrigerators.
The mkt objects noticeable are a number OF
pans with covers, resembling dripping pans
OF household utility, except that each pan has
n cover and is made OF heavy zinc. These
pans hold one large white fish, or two small
ones. A fish is taken from the pile just col
lcctcd from the lake, placed in the pan and
the cover put on. The pans are thon carried
% the reiTlgegatorS, OF which there are several
Of very large siz', capable Of holding many of
the pans.
a layer OF prepared Ice is placed in the bot
tom OF the refrigerator, then layer of the pans
containing the fish, and SO on alternately, until
the refrigerator is full, when it is closed, and
the fish lett to freeze. The time occupied in
freezing is generally about two hours, though
Mr., q. informs Us that with proper prepara
ton he can freeze fish in forty minutes, as
hard aS the solid truth" After two hours
the fish are taken out OF the pans aud put away
in tho preserving rooms, and their places sup
Piled with others. \ large force OF men are
constantly employed, and the fish ore being
frozen at the rate of several tons day.
There are preserving rooms where the fish
are piled up for use when needed. Descending
ladder through a small aperture in the floor,
We 60 down into dark room where men are
engaged in stacking the fish.
In front, behind, and on both sides nothing
can be seen but the solidiied scale bearers,
which, at the sides and ends OF the preserving
room, are piled up to the ceiling, and in the
centre OF the room We wero standing upon six
iect OF the frozen swimmers, They arc piled
up like books OF wood, tho smaller ones being
frozen in pairs, when two of them can be put
into ireczng-psnS. There are six of these pre-
serving rooms, and the fish can be kept in
them perfectly fresh and sweet until warm
weather. The great merit Of the process Is
the celcrity by which the fish are frozen. In
other methods the fish arc frozen SO slowly
that their quality is impaired,
Monday morning the receipts OF fish at Mr..
Gciersdori's establishment was iorty,fvc tons,
all of which were disposed OF by the following
morning, some being frozen, and the rest pack
ed and shipped
