PRESERVING BUTTER IN BRINE.

PRESERVING BUTTER IN BRINE.
How and Why Immersion in Brine Is
Practieed by Butter Workers.
A method of preserving butter by i'm
mersion in brine for home consumption
and for export is thus explained: LAS
soon a. the butter is ready for the market,
by the ordinary method of cleansing and
sailing, whether by keg or roll, it is
divided into pound and two pound pieces.
az ,ording TO tastes and demands, and
formed into rolls, and fine muslin is
wound round the rolls The rolls are
then nicely set on end, one on the top of
the other, in a cask or barrel suitable to
the convenience of the butter maker
When the barrel is full a cloth Is nicely
spread over and tucked round the roll,
and whatever space remains between
the butter and the head of the cask is
filled with coarse salt.
The object of the salt on the top is to
keep the butter tight in its place, and to
make good the deficiency of any brine
lost from leakage or evaporation. The
object of the plate is to keep the rolls of
butter tightly in their places and
thoroughly immersed in the brine. The
barrel is then headed up. turned bung
up, and filled quite full of strong brine.
Of course only a small quantity of brine
will be necessary, as it is only in the
interstices between the roll of butter
that 1t can find room, as the butter. hay
ing already been sufficiently sailed in
the ordinary way, will absorb none of
the brine. The caSk must. however. he
filled quite full. and securely bunged. so
that no leakage occurs; for on tn. keep
ing of the barrel full of brine depends
the success of the method. When the
keS or barrel containing the butter is
opened by the retailing butter merchant
the butteris not removed from the brine;
but the parcels are left in it until called
for by the consumer, when il is lifted
fresh out of the brine and handed TO the
customer.

For the three months ending March
81, 1890 as compared with the same
period last year there was decrease in
our exports of about 38 per cent, the
heaviest decline being in farm products.
This is direct result of the Mckinley
tariff act, which the Democrats in Con-
gress predicted would curtail our for
eign markets. No wonder Mr.. Blaine is
struggling so hard to find new markets
by means of reciprocity; he knows that
our surplus farm products have got to
find market somewhere or universal
bankruptcy will stare us in the face.

AS we are not intimately acquainted
with many of the Presidents Indiana
friends, and have assumed that some
one of them must be Treasurer of the
Uuited States, it has not occurred to us
that it made much difference whether
it was Mr.. Huston or Mr.. Lemke or Mr..
Nebeker. Some of the people who do
know them, however, seem to think it
makes good deal of difference. Mr..
Mattice, who is said to be a friend of
Mr.. Huston is quoteG as saying that
Lemke's appointment fell through be-
cause it was feared that he would lend
the money of the Government, as he
lent the money of the State when he
was treasurer of Indiana, and retain the
the interest, and now the Indianapolis
Sentinel says of Mr.. Nebeker, who has
been appointed:
President Harrison has made a good
many scandalous appointments. But
from all accounts that of Nebeker, the
Fountain County boodler, to be Treas
urer of the United States beats the
record. Nebeker is one of the rottenest
politicians in Indiana and has been
known to Benjamin Harrison as such
for many years. In fact, he has done a
great deal ofdirty work in politice un-
der direct commission from the man of
many prayers. He couldn't be elected
constable in his own county, and those
who have innocently supposed that
character and fitness had some little
weight with this administration, and
who are familiar with Nebeker's record,
are utterly amazed at his appointment.
Without fuller rinformation we are not
prepared to believe that the Treasurer of
the United States is quite so bad as this.

Gold and Silver.

The renewal of gold exports of con-
siderable amount, ought to direct pub
lie attention again, says the New York
Evening Post, to the law that requires
the government to buy 1900, 900 ounces
of silves per month. This product of
American industry is peculiarly we'll fit
ted for export. The demand for it is
as steady as ever, but the government
steps in just as it reaches the seaboard
and takes the whole, or nearly the
whole output of the mines, pays for it
and then locks it up. Then the ex-
porters, who were about to send the sill
yer abroad to pay our debts with, send
gold instead. That is the diagnosis of
the present expectation of gold. We
may expect this pull to continue until
the prices of other exportable commod-
tiles are lowered so that foreigners will
take our goods rather than our money.
