Packing Roll Butter for Market.

Late fall and winter butter sometimes sells
best in rolls. The trouble with roll butter,
however, is that it often is not properly
packed. and from lack of knowledge in this
particular the butter assumes ragged or un-
tidy appearance and in consequence, sells at
low price. If roll butter could be sent TO
market in perfect form it would not unfre-
queLtly command from two TO tive cents
more per pound than when packed in firkins.
Tn a previous number we gave some account
of the manner in which roll butter was sent
to market, each roll having tin case to pro-
tect it. The rolls are wrapped in muslin and
the cases open in the center SO that the but
ter may be easily removed.
The Montreal produce dealers give the fol-
lowing instructions to dairymen concerning
the packing of roll butter for that market.
aud the suggestions may be of service to
dairymen in other sections where consider
able quantity of roll butter is to be prepared
for shipping. They say:
''Use none but the very best barrels, and
be sure that they are not burnt or dirty in
side. The end intended for the head should
be turned down; then take out the bottom
head and cut piece of fine white muslin the
size of the head of the barrel-which will be
the head when opened. Commence to pack
the finest and smallest rolls first, being sure
to pack each roll on its smallest end. Be
careful and select rolls that will pack snug SO
there will be no space for the rolls to shake
about. Continue packing in this way until
the barrel is almost full, then shake the bar
rel well to settle the rolls aud then fill it as
snug as possible. In packing the last layer,
pack the rolls on their ends if possible, but il
there is no room, it will not matter if they
are packed on their sides if they will pack
slug and fill the barrel full The great OBJ
iect is to have the rolls packed close and
tight. so that they will not shake about and
break.
Each roll must be wrapped in piece of
white muslin or cheese Gaping, and it
should be large enough to cover the roll en-
tirely. The muslin must be soaked in
strong brine before using and be-put on the
roll wet L. is impossible 10 send rolls to
market in good order without wrapping
them in muslin; and no matter what the
muslin may cost it will more than pay the
cost in the increased prices the rolls thus
packed will bring.
Before heading the barrel, pour on two
quarts of strong pickle. Cover the last layer
with piece of muslin the same as that put
on the head; drive down the hoops well and
secure with nails. Then turn the barrel
over two or three times so as to let the brine
work in between the rolls; mark the top in
plain letters, "roll BUTTER" also the gross
weight, tare of the barrel and address OF the
party to whom you send it and the initials
of the shipper. Rolls should be made in an
oblong shape and not weigh over two or four
pounds. Rural New Yorker.
