SUGGESTIONS FOE PACKING BUTTER

An important matter with retail dealers
and consumers who take butter out of the
original package. is to have it cleave
smoothly from the sides of the package. III In
many instances the butter s,ihcrcs to the
sides OF the tub or tirkin, causing Il loss of
from one to two pounds Of butter, more or
less, Slice the particles adherihg to the
wood are, ut best. fit only FOL. grease. This
loss not unfrequently will amount to a.peu-
ny or more per pound on the whole weight
OF butter in the package, and retail Dealers,
as well lis consumers who purchase their
supplies in original packages. very justly
complain that this is a waste imposed upon
them by tie producer and shot,ld be charg-
ed to his account. And without doubt the
producer should bear tins loss if he could
be reached, because it is the result of negli
gence or want of knowledge III packing
In the first place, the tub or iirkin should
be well hooped ard made perfectly tight so
as not to allow of the least leakage Then
in preparing it tor use, the pores of the
wood should be completely filled by soak
ing In brine, for If these are left open the
butter will work into them, and this causes
the adherence or sticking of the butter to
the package. The package should be first
soaked for 4 day or two With cold brine
made with pure salt and clean spring wa
ter; this should then lie turned out. and is
not fit tor use again, as the brine will draw
out the sap and ether Impurities in the
wood New brine should now be made by
dissotving salt in clear spring water and
heating the solution, and when boiling hot,
poured into the package, completely filling

DRIVING LIvE-sTOCK.

The Las Animas, Cal, Leade1 has the fol-
lowing OH driving live stock in that region,
which will be of general interest:
From conversation with leading stock
man we learn that many Of our larger own
ers Of beef cattle are seriously considering
the plan Of driving instead of shipping TO
market this fall Tllere are several consi,l-
cIatiolls In favor OF this method, the most
important of which is the large saving
made. A fair estimate OF the freight, the
shrinkage, and the bruised condition of beef
delivered at Kansas City, is five dollars per
head, and liberal estimate of the expense
ofdriying TO within one hundred miles OF
Kaiisas City places it ut one dollar per head
--and the cattle, If anything, in better con-
dition than when they started. With such
difference as this it is to be wondered at
that shipping is not altogether abandoned
by those havmg large lots. Take one thou
sand head as an example, two months time
for the drive, and ten men to do the work.
The cost of provisions, horse feed and the
phy Of the men viii not exceed $500 per
month. or 81, 900 for the trip. Thus count
Ing .all things, Il saving or $4,OOO is effected,
! from which possible losses might be deduct
: ell. and still handsome balance remain.
We arc assured by the same authorities that
though tile high rates of transportation
mainly force men to think of driving, vet ii
would be better for cattle producers to drive
;, than ship, even if the. railroads charged
nothing. Looking ut the matter from the
prohncer's standpoint, the cost of getting
to market is everything, as, while the mar
ket stands at a given figure, the transporta-
ton varies and goes into on comes out of his
pocket. For example. during the cutting
last year all the saving Oh freight went to
onr people. The buyers came TO our doors,
aud in their anxiety to take advantage OF
the low rates added somewhat of their gians
10 the prices. The issue promises to be Ell

sHoRTHoRNs VS.. HEREFoRps.

A correspondent of the Hereford, English
Times, in an article oil the merits OF the
Shortascrns and Herefords says:
Ear be it from me to aisparagc the tssefet-
ness Of the Royal Agricultural Society. Its
existence, no doubt, is not only OF immense
benefit, bat of vital consequence to Hse ag
ricultural interest, but mast beg to be ex-
cused fron feeling any admiration OF its
flunkeyisns in deveting s,eeh an e~erwelm-
ing share of its Patroitagete a breed of cat
tie which is not in the strict sense of the
term" kuglisli'' bat peltch." Surely the
Royal Agricultural Society Of England,
formed, in SO far as the breed of cattle is in
volved, 70 improve and foster the breeds of
English cattle, should look little more to
home, and not award their chief patronage
to an alien blood! There is All old saying
that we cannot account for taste, and by
for fancy. The Herefords are, for the most
part, of uniform ~color--a rich dark red
with white faces. I'he Si,orthorns are OF
varigated is,scS, like Chinese latterns; but
with all their rainbow tints will presently
attempt to show that they arc not ouly less
ornamental, bnt less useful and less rent
paying. If the Shorthorn and Hereford
winners at the late show had been drawn
out and placed side by side, no jtadge could
have doubted. for q moment which breed ex-
ceeded the other in trueness of shape, sym
nletrical beauty, scale, and quality OF flesh.

this the same laws prevail, except that tn, y
are more comfortable in the vegetable than
in the animal world.
AS those who have followed the history of
vegetable physiology in this country are
aware / demonstrated some years ago, that
in the pegetab2e, as in the animal world,
and as referred to by Mr.. Sherman, the
=" germ in diGcious plants is, as he would
say =" heyaaaphrodite, y that is, as the flower
is formed it may become either male or ie-
male, according to circumstances; aud sub
sequently demonstrated that nutrition was
one of these circumstances. 1t is higher
effort of vital power to form female flower
than male one. AS vital power is wholly
u question Of nutrition-nutrltion being
equivalent to life--We say in substance, that
at a critical point in the life OF the frtus or
gerDl--when The decisive moment comes-it
is altogether a question of how much nutri-
ton has been absorbed by, OIL, given to it,
by its parent. bt..agtl. .s... d..a! ag5.sa.
My experiments and observations leading
to this conclusion, have appeared ia the
volumes, of the American Association for
the advancement of Science, and l. believe
my conclusions have now been accepted by
the leading vegetable physologists OF the
world, and il it shall be considered that
have made no farther contributions to
science in my life, shall be proud of this.
But we ii,,st go farther than this before
we ca,, control the production of the sexes.
We have to find ont how or III what way
nutrition is so graded that more or less nu-
triton is conveyed to the germ or fntus, so
as to decide its sex and even after this has
been discovered, we may not be able to con-
troll it. Though my studies, as a specially.
are confined to vegetable physiology, in
this question canliot but be interested in
noting how my discoveries apply to zooiog-
zeal parallels by those who are interested.
SO far rs I have yet seen, if might hazard
a mere opinion, there may be more in Prof.
Thury's hypothesis than in any other, which
botanical language-th sooner a
germ is fcrtilized after it is sufficiently ma
ture to receive fertilization, the greater
chance there is of its proving female, be-
cause, as | would say, the greater Is the
time under which it might absorb nutrition.
But were this know to be fact, it could not
in all cases be certain. Because, even when
fine is given, the nutritivc powers in that
particular region might themselves be

The manager of our theatcr recently
organized a circus and menagerie as a

they were done, they were not completely

for the artist in order to explain his views

An Heroic Girl.

The bravest girl in Australia is Grace
Vernon Bussell. The steamer Georgette
was wrecked off the west coast, near
PERTH small boat had been capsized in
the surf and women and children were
struggling in the water. On the crest of
precipitous cliff appeared the figure of
young lady on horseback. To the
sailors on the stranded vessel it seemed
utterly impossible that a horse and its
rider should be able to descend that
precipice. But the young lady never
faltered. She plunged down at full
speed, and, reaching the shore, spurred
her horse into the boiling surf. There
were two lines of roaring breakers. With
splendid pluck she dashed through them
and reached the boat, to which the af-
frighted women and children were cling
ing. Her horse stumbled over a hawser
which was stretched between the wreck
and the small boat; but she clung to the
saddle and brought the women and chill
dren to land. There was still man
left on the boat. She plunged into the
breakers again and brought him safe to
the shore. While those women she had
saved were rescuing those who remained
on the wreck, the heroic girl, drenched
with the sea-foam and half fainting with
fatigue, galloped dozen miles home to
have relief sent to the half.drowned,
half-naked folks whom she had left on
the beach. Her sister, Mrs. Brockman,
took horse, galloped that night through
the woods to the shore, taking tea, milk,
sugar, and flour for the destitute people;
and the next day the rescued were
taken TO Mr. Brockman's house and
cared for. The anxiety and excitement
proved fatal to Mrs. Brockman, who
took severe cold, and died eventually
of brain-fever. Grace Vernon Busseil
still lives.-N y. Tribune.

The Freedom of the City of London Pre-
sented to Gen. Grant.

LONDON, June 10.
Ex-President Grant was presented
with the freedom of the city of London
at Guildhall to-day. About 800 ladies
and gentlemen, including several mem
bers of the Government, American Con-
suls, merchants, and principal represent.
atives of the trade and commerce of
| London, were invited to meet the Gen
eral at dejeuner subsequent to the civic
ceremony.
The guests began to arrive about 4 80
and until 1890 a steady stream of car
riages poured into Guildhall yard. Gen.
Grant arrived at one o'clock He was
received at the entrance of Gildhall by
four Aldermen and six members of the
City Committee, and conducted TO
the library, where he was received by the
Lord Mayor, and took n seat on the dais
on the left of His Lordship, who occu-
pied the chair as President of the Special
Court of Common Council, at which were
assembled most of the members of the
corporation. A resolution of the court
was read by the Town Clerk, and Gen.
Grant, after an address by the Chamber
lain, was admitted to the freedom of the
city, the Chamberlain extending the
right hand of fellowship as a citizen of
London, amid applause. Gen, Grant re-
piled in suitable terms and then sub
scribed his name to the roll of honorary
freemen.
Gen. Grant was accompanied by Mrs.
Grant and Minister and Mrs. Pierrepont.
Among the gentlemen present were Sir
Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and many members of Par
