BUTTER PACKAGES.
Description of Four Kinds of Packages In
General Use for Creamery Butter.

General Use for Creamery Butter.
There are four kinds of packages in
general use for creamery butter. Three
of these are made of wood, the remain
ing one is of tin.
a form very commonly used is known
as the Welsh tub although it is made in
America. The Welsh tub is made of
white ash and is bound with black ash
hoops The slaves are made by machinery
and the bottom is fitted in like a barrel
head Either five or six hoops are used,
more generally five If only FIVE, two are
placed at each end and one in the middle.
If six are used, three are placed at each
end. The weight of the tub is eight or
nine pounds, and it holds ffty-fve or
sixty pounds of butter.
The frkin is also largely used. 1t is
made of white oak, with hickory hoops.
1t is headed, top and bottom, like a barrel,
and is the same size at each end, being
twelve and one half inches in diameter at
the ends and fifteen inches in the middle.
The slaves are thirty inches long. The
irkins are very often sawed in two and
used as half frkin tubs, with white oak
covers, which are nailed on. The frkin
holds about a hundred pounds of butter
The creamery pail holds from sixty to
eighty pounds. 1t is made of white oak
and bound with iron hoops, either gal.
vanized or not. These pals are painted
and are fitted with patent fastenings for
the ash or oak covers, and make the hand
soonest packages in the trade. They are
not popular with commission merchants,
as they are so expensive that they have to
be returned to the creameries.

are used by the government, but are a
long way from superseding wood in the
markets. Notwithstanding that they seem
to be equally as good as wood in all re.
spects and better in some. They are non
absorbent, of course, and do not flavor the
butter, while they keep it much better.
Tin packages are made of all sizes, in
cylindrical shape and are cased and COW
cred at the top with wood. The wooden
cover rests on the salt brine which lies on
the butter

EXCELLENT KNOTS.

On the end to which the horses are
hitched use a "bowline" or sailors knot. "
This is shown at 4 and c, a being the
knot before frightened, showing how it is
is made, but by studying the illustration
and using a stiff string you can learn in a
few minutes. When clevis is hooked
in the large loop at the right hand side
and pulled, it will tighten and make as
firm knot as any known. The one shown
at B is excellent for tying to the fork. 1t
is made by passing rope twice through
ring and returning the end around rope
and under both coils.

two hogs are very nearly alike. There

Feeding Ample Pomace to Cows.

Chemical analysis shows that apple
pomace has higher feeding value than
turnips, beets or potatoes. But it must
be fed judiciously in order to obtain its
full value. For instance. a cow cannot
thrive on an exclusive diet of pomace;
indeed she will harm herself, doubtless,
if left to help herself unrestrained to a
load of pomace dumped down within her
reach. On the other hand, a peck, say,
of this substance per day, fed along with
the ration given to horned stock, will
prove decidedly advantageous.

A Prohibition Tragedy.

DEs MONIES, fa, Feb. 1s.-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE"~The jury in the trial at
Boone, of J9sepk A. Row for the shooting
of Constable Logan, at Des Moines, brought
in verdict Of granddaughter. This is the

dray when arrested by Logan. The case
was taken to Boone on a change of venue,
and the trial engaged the services of noted

ON DECK ONCE MORE.
Revised aud Enlarged Edition of an old
Needle story.


Talk about your needle stories "
said a man on the street the other day,
''but l can tell you one that discounts
them all, and / don't have to go far
from home for the facts, either My
wifc's sister. n young lady about nine
teen. has pet needle. She wouldn't
do without it for the world. About
three years ago the needle made its
first appearance by sticking its point
out OF her shoulder. How II ever got
into her body or how long it had been
there she says she don't know. 1t
d dn't come out far enough for any
one 10 get hold Of it, but went back in.
and in about month II stuck its nose
out away down on her right ankle.
Then 1t disappeared again, and It has
been scooting around inside Of her sys-
tenn ever since, poking its point out
about every month some whore or
other. She had 1t pulled out once with
pair Of nippers, and you may not
believe II, but it is fact. she became
almost alnrmingly i'll with a sort of
nervous prostration that the doctors
couldn't make any thing Of. Ono day
m irresistible impulse seized her, as
she says to get that needle and jab II
into herself She did so and felt much
better instantly. The needle has been
on its travels without interruption ever
since. aud she has had perfect health.
She couldn't be persuaded now TO have
it taken out. About q year ago the
needle made its appearances at her left
wrist, and the location of both ends of
it was clearly discernible. BY way Of
amusement. suppose, she managed
TO get Mt tho head Of her pct, and
slipped little piece Of fine, bright red
silk through the eye. and now the
needle is carrying that all over her sys-
tom. and once in while il is discern
iblc beneath tho skin. When the needle
was out it was discovered that il was
very strongly magnetizcd. Yes, its q
very queer case, and don't pretend to
explain it, but | know the story is
true Chicago NeDs.
