How TO KEEP BUTTER The essen
tials in keeping butter in summer consists
in making 1t properly, and having cool
place to keep it, and excluding it from
the air. No butter can be safely packed
in warm weather which is not perfectly
made, nor can it then be kept if exposed
to the air. Dairy rooms cooled with Il
cheap refrigerator are coming into use
now among butter makers, both for set
ting milk and keeping butter, and with
ice and salt secure low temperature at
small cost. The best packages for keep
ing butter long time in warm weather
are made of tin, and wood lined When
filled the cover is soldered on and made

TURNIPS FOR Cows. a farmer in
Connecticut has shown by experiment
that the fiat English turnip as food for
milch cows, is worth twenty cents
per bushel. He arrived at the result by
noting the diminished quantity of milk
when the feeding of turnips was omitted.
There was no saving of hay by feeding
the turnips, and this agrees with other
experiments which have gone to show
that the same amount Of hay will be con-
sumed when these turnips are fed, but
they aid in the digestion of hay and other
similar fodder and increase the flow of
milk.

BY the census OF 1880 II appears that hnoX
County had at that time one hundred and nine
ty-seven manufacturing establishments, in
which was invested 81 $50 5S4; employing 300
people; paying $422,994 in wages; using ST.
49l .294 worth of materials and making $2.274-
359 worth of products, and yet our late county
fair utterly failed to give stranger the impress
sion that we produce anything in the way of
mechanical manufactures. We saw some fine
products at the centennial exhibition in Pha-
delpha from Maine, at sight of which our
heart sweed with State pride, but we wish
some of these same exhibitors would take the
pains to exhibit more at home, so that our own
people shal! see what can be done here, and
our fairs shall become what they ought to be
a good representation of our products and our
possibilities. [Rockland Free Press.

Pawnbroker's Signs.

The pswnbrokers insignia Is uDCer-
stood to have its foundation In the arms
of the Medici family, representative of
which went from Lombsrdy TO London In
the Middle Ages, and, being very rich. set
up business as banker OF money lender
Tue arms Of his family consisted of three
gllded pills, which had direct alluslon to
their profession of medicine. Beside
being doctors" they were the richest
merchants in Florence and the greatest
money lenders. The branch OF the family
which settled in London commenced busIn-
ess IN Lombard Street. Whether the
family arms were used as a sign to attract
has not been stated, but there seems to be
no question that this WAS the origin of the
three golden balls now used TO indicate the
presence OF pawn-broking establishments
1t is observed that the business of lending
money on pawns was carried on in
England by Italian merchants or banker.
as early, at least. as the reign Of Richard
l. by the ~ Edward l., a messuage was
confirmed to these traders, where Lombard
street now stands. but the trade was first
recognized in law by James 1. The name
Lombard, according TO Stow, Is a con-
traction of Longobards. The Lombard
bankers exercised monopoly OF pawn
broking TIL the reign of Q leen Elizabeth.
Another Interpretation OF the three balls
signs is that it indicates that the pawn
broker exacts two-thlrds collateral IS
security for the one-thIrd which he lends
to the borrower. 1t has been otherwise
dubbed 'the two to one business

New Catalogue ofOrgans.

The MASON x HAMLIS Organ and Pi-
ano Company have just issued their new
Catalogue for the season of 1884,. Ii forms
4 handsome 4to pamphlet of 10 pages, and
contains illustrations accurately showing
the appearance of all the styles of organs
regularly made by them, with detailed de
scriptions of the capacity of each; together
with quite full mention of the general
modes of construction employed and the
great favor with which their organs have
been received all over the world; with ac-
counts of their triumphs at all the great
comparisons of such instruments at World s
Industrial Exhibitions for many years;
with pictures of medals, decorations and
diplomas of honor obtained.
In looking over such a catalogue one is
forcibly reminded of the magnitude which
the business of reed instruments has at
tanned. Twenty-Five years since only a few
were made, under the name of "Melsdeons, -
which had not and did not deserve much
favor with musicians, enjoying very linn
tied sale, at prices varying from $40 TO Sl25.
Now 81, 900 organs are made yearly in the
United States, which are sold in all civil
lied countries at prices from So 10 $1,000
OF more.
