How a Dutehman GOT Even.

Once on a time there lived jovial
Outchman, whose name was Hans
Won Shrimpetiffel. He had a wife.
He had little grocery, where beer
and such personal property were sold.
he gave credit to a parcel Of day Gus
toners, and kept his book with piece
Of white chalk on the headboard OF
his bedstead.
One day Mrs. Shrimpetiff1e, during
q neat fit, took upon herself to clean
house and things. So she did, and
cleaned the head-bOard, and with soap
and water settle the old mans &C
counts by wiping away every chalk
mark.
Pretty soon, before long, the ole
Yender Of things came into his house
and saw what ruin his frau haC
wrought. Then be said
aMein Cot. Frau Shrimpetiffel

His frau left the room in fear ant
disgust. When she returned he hat
recovered the head-bOarc with chau
marks. Then she said:

stagnans Water and.Huk.

1t has been known for a long time
that milk left standing In q room
where patients are sick becomes per
meated with the poison Of the disease.
Contagion has also been spread
through milk by reason Of persons re-
covering from sickness attending TO
the labor Of the dairy. The kind of
grass or fodder on which the cows
feed also gives 8. peculiar favor and
quality to their milk. In addition To
these. facts, it has recently. been DEM
onstrated that thesmost startling con-
sequences may ensue from the ami
mails drinking gsstagnant water. Pro-
fessor Law, of Cornell University. has
examined, with a microscope, milk of
an unusual rOpy appearance, and
found It full of those fungi, OF vegeta-
bic organisms that abound in stagnant
water. On inquiry, he found that the
cows from which it came had only
stagnant water to drink, and further
investigation revealed the fact that
the blood Of the animals teemed with
these fungi, and'that the cows were
in q feverish, unhealthy condition.
The warning which this discovery
ought to convey is very simple. It is
the duty Of dairymen to see their cat
tie have a supply OF pure, sweet wa
ter. They use such a great quantity
of water that a judicious concern for
the health Of the community should
induce them to employ none but the
very elearest.

From the Journal Of Agriculture ]
BuffeF in Sacks.

The dairymen Of Washington Ter
ritcry, for want of tubs and jars, have
adopted a method of putting up and
keeping butter which, though novel,
presents some features that are Yor-
thy the attention Of those having but
ter packed for family use or for retail
trade. The packing IS thus described:
All butter is packed in muslin
sacks, made in such form that the
package, when complete, is a cylin-
der three or four inches in diameter,
and from half q foot to q foot in length.
The butter goes from the churn, as
soon as worked over, into the cylin-
drical bags, made Of fine bleached
muslin. The packages are then put
into large casks containing strong
brine with a slight admixtuTe of salt
peter, and by means of weights keep
always below the surface. The cloth
integument always protects the but
ter from any impurities that chance
to come in contact with the package,
and being always buried in brine
that protects ii from the action Of the
air, and Il has been ascertained by
trial that butter put up in This way
will keep sweet longer than any 9TH
er way. Besides, It is found easier
and cheaper for the manufacturer
than to pack either in jars or firkins'
And for the retailer there is no telling
the advantage on the score OF safety
and convenience, These rolls Of but
ter can lie upon his counter as safe
from injury, from dust or other con-
tact, as bars of lead can ha rolIad mn
to his Customer in sheet of paper
with as much propriety as bundle Of
matches. If the consumer, when he
gets home, discovers specks of>dust
upon the outside Of the sack he can
throw it into pail Of pure cold water
and take 1t out clean and white. As
he uses the butter from day to day.
with a sharp knife he cuts of from
the end Of the roll in slices OF thick
ness suited to his want, and peels of
the cloth from the end Of the slice,
leaving it in tidy form to place upon
the table.
