(NoTE-Care should be taken in packing and
SQreai in
the practice of sending roll butter to this mar
keith every conceivable package including bar
rels, pine boxes, etc. The above named pack
ages should be entirely avoided, as pine will
have tendency to affect and flavor the but
ter, while barrels are too large and not easily
handled, besides the weight brushes the roll.
New tubs or hardwood boxes are the most de-
sirable, while half barrels or kegs will do
equally as well, and these only should be used.
Care should also be taken before putting the
butter in packages that all the sides and ends
Of the package be lined with new white mus
lin, thus keeping the butter from DETACHMENT
by touching the wood. Another bad practice
is in putting the butter up in paper; this
should not be done, as the paper sticks to the
butter and damages the appearance. Each
roll should be separately placed in piece OF
new muslin cloth washed in warm water to
take out the starch, and thoroughly wet in
good brine. The rolls should also be of mod
crate size and not too large. Then again, the
rolls should be of uniform color, not packing
the light and fresh-made with other that has
been colored.
