Butter Packages.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Willamette
(Oregon) Farmer says: The butter firkins
/ have used with the best success were
manufactured from well seasoned heart
spruce, although white fir, oak or ash will
do. No sap should be left on the timber,
on any account, as, by long standing, the
sap is liable to sour, grow black and moldy
and iniure the butter. Size, about twelve
inches deep by eleven inches in diameter
at the top and nine at the bottom, in the
clear, with good tight cover made to fit
close, so as to exclude all air. This size
will hold from thirty to forty pounds, and
the shape is preferred by the retailer on
account of the ease with which the butter
is returned to the firkin Too much care
cannot be used in preparing the tirkin be-
fore packing the butter. This shosld be
done by soaking it in clear spring or well
water from four to six days, changing the
water at least once each day, till there is
no smell of the wood to impart its flavor to
the butter The day previous to using, fiil
the firkin with scalding hot brine e,ycover'it
tight, and let stand till you are ready to
pack your butter. Then turn out your
brine, and rub the inside of the tub
thoroughly with the best tof Liverpool
salt. rf-7s.r brrario3t sY& % eslat nrofl

fellow citizen Henry Nave is about as good
physical specimen as one can USUALLY
find. At the age of fourteen years, while
hauling mess pork, his team got stalled
and he made plank walk through the
mud to the wagon, and carried out on his
shoulders the eight barrels of pork. The
day he was fifteen years of age he weighed
227 pounds, and can stand as much heat
and cold as any one. He has lifted 1000
pounds.
