Packing Butter.

1t detracts greatly from the market

which generally mean different colors.
together in solid pack. Buyers of
country made butter in large quantities
usually work it over again and color it
uniformly before packing it down in u
solid mass. This, however, Injuries the
grain, and the result is to average the
quality of the good and poor that arc
packed together. When practicable, it
is best to keep each make by itself and
ship it to market in rolls, wrapped in
bleached muslin, wet enough to keep
from sticking to the roll. AS general
rule, country storekeeper will realize
the most from bis butter trade who sells
it az soon as he can, and before it has
lost the delicate flavor and aroma of fresh
butter by long keeping.
In packing solidly in tubs or firkins
from fifty to 100 pounds are used. The
packages should always be made of hard
wood. When it is desired to keep early
made butter through the summer to a
season of scarcity and better prices, the
following plan has proved one of the
best;
Pack only sweet and fresh rolls where
tho buttermilk haa beeu, got out and tho
grain Of the butter is good. Wrap each
roll in thin muslin cloth wet in strong
brine and pack the rolls closely in the
package without jamming or disiiguring
them. Then Immediately cover the but
ter entirely with clear, strong brine and
set it away in cool place. The first may
be weighed down and more put in after
ward, but none should be left floating
partly out of the brine. In this way
each roll is entirely submerged and does
not come in contact with the air.

Health by Prohibition.

From a health standpoint, from a
moral standpoint, and from financial
standpoint, all other questions in poll
tics become in comparison of trivia
importance. That such rich blessing
is in store for the near future is appar-
ent to any one who has felt the popular
pulse. Politics in which a question
having such an immense tearlng upon
health is dominant issue is worthy of
the attention of every physician. There
probably was never a time when the
medical profession had such an oppor-
tunity TO use their influence in politics
for good. We are happy to note that
95 per cent. of the physicians we have
met during the last sixty days, express
themselves unqualifedly in favor of the
prohibition of the liquor traffic, and
will use their influence to that end. The
influence of our 10000 professional
readers used in the right direction
would further the canse of Prohibition

Not Fit to Vote.

An Iowa saloon-keeper challenged
the vote of Methodist minister on tie
ground that, being subject to removal
by his bishop, he cannot be a good
citizen of any town. The case has
gone into the courts. Whatever the
courts may say, the stern, stubbo N
fact remains that the Methodist
preacher has been far too numerous q
citizens for the Iowa saloon keeper.
That's what troubles the bar tender.
The parson is apt to be the citizenest
kind OF citizen, a citizen of no mean
city, free born and holding his rights
of citizenship only less dear than his
religion. if not indeed a part of it.
Whatever the saloon keeper may think
or desire, it is likely that the same par
son will keep right on voting Just the
same, and when the people and also
publicans and the soldiers likewise
come to the pulpit for their politics,
they will get il without anv Doodle,
snide or gin-mill influence. The saloon
keeper will have to sell his shop to pay
the costs. The parson isn't half through
voting yet. He's just begun.-R. J.
