the use of a weak brine prepared for the
purpose. Put the bowl away in cool

PACKING.

Pack in vessels which viii impart no
impurities to the butter Fill within half
an inch of the top Place a thin cloth
wholly over the butter. Over that pour
cold brine as strong as can be made of
hot water and the pureSt salt, or cover
with a layer of fine salt. The whole pro-
cess of making the butter, from drawing
the milk TO the placing Of the butter in
packages, should be hurried, as milk,
cream and butter are going to decay every
moment when exposed TO the air. how
ever pure it may be- Such butter is
ready 70 keep or to sell. If to be kept
long before selling. surround every pack
age with coarse salt, by placing them in
boxes prepared for the purpose. This
process keeps the butter cool and hard
and free from sudden changes of air.
When all these things are attended to
promptly, and with as much uniformity
as Is under the power of man to control,
there viii be a near approach to uniform
itv in color, richness and purity. If the
new beginner follows these rules, and
keeps doing so, he viii soon command the
highest figures.
Cleanliness and common sense applied
from the beginning TO the end are abso-
lutely necessary to insure good butter that

Select your COWS with reference to the

good pasturage in the summer, and plenty
of pure water, with frequent access to
salt In winter, feed sweet, early-cut
