PACKING BUTTER.
Method by Which the Delicate Flsvof
May Be Preserved.

Method by Which the Delicate Flsvof
May Be Preserved.
Good butter may be safely packed 70
keep SIX months or more If tho right
way is taken. It used to be done years
ago, when it was the custom to keep the
surplus product for sale then, there
being no winter dairying to SUPPLY the
demand. The butter must be naturally
good and sweet and worked quite free
from the butternlilk by thorough wash
ing. There need be no fear that this
will hurt the butter for il cannot take
anything from It, the fat being wholly
nsoluble in water, and only the but
termilk will be washed ort of it. which
it must be, or it will be detrimenr to
the butter, as producing change of the
fat into volatile acids by which the but
ter is made strong and finally rancid.
The best packages for this use are
glazed earthen jars or sweet, clean
white oak or spruce tubs, painted or
vanished on the outside. The tubs
are soaked in brine, then scalded, then
washed in two or three waters. then
rubbed with fine salt INSIDE. and while
wet the butter is packed n them, being
firmly pressed down SO as to leave no
vacancies in the mass.
When the package is filed to within
half an inch Of the top, clean cloth,
or, better, some parchment paper, is
fitted closely over the butter and half
an inch up the edge Of the package
Fine dry salt is tken put in smoothly to
the top, then dry cloth. well washed.
is tied down firmly, then parchment
paper and then one more cloth. The air
IS thus excluded, and the butter will be
as good or little better than when it
was packed, as it undergoes ripen1ng
process by which the fin. flavor of the
best butter is developed.-N. T. World.

With my acquaintance with country

it seems to me that one of the most
important problems, even when lib

the money to derive proper value The
custom which prevails in our section
is to lay road taxes which are worked
out by the landholders, under super

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

farm work is mainly finished in the
fall. Much of the time during the
year the cobblestones remain on the
streets, drainage imperfect, but the
tax is worked out, and the road must
Care for itself most of the year.
This method prevails in this city.
Road taxes to the amount of $4,000
to $4,000 are levied to keep the out
lying streets that are not paved in
condition. This money, under our
municipal arrangement, is parceled out
to some 20 councilmen to spend in their
wards. and twice a year, late spring
and fall, the councilman has some
clever man, IN whose charge is num-
Der of old men, who have done their
best days work long ago. They are put
to work on the streets, and they have
an easy time; the taxpayers get less
than rs per cent. for their money, and
the public gets disreputable streets to
pass over. One Of the greatest mis-
takes, AIN led to believe, is the want
of knowledge on the part of those who
have the expanding of the money ap-
propriated for road purposes.
1t the state or the general govern
ment, through the agricultural depart
ment, would offer few thousand dol
lars, say for five best methods of build
ing and repairing roads. and then have
congress composed Of engineers and
other capable men to canvass these
propositions and agree on manual
which could be formulated, with proper
illustrations, with all the questions
that would be useful 10 persons who
might have the care OF roads, it would
be of the first Importance. Then there
should be for each state or county a
board Of engineers, who should each
year, under direction of county COM
mlssioners, make surveys Of the roads,
presenting diagrams, which should be
lied and topics given to supervisors.
with proper instructions for caring
for the roads.
Engineers and those having care of
ra1lroa1 beds understand that they
should be protected by thorough drain
age, but this is taken small account
OF IN streets and country roads. Let
the civil service rules apply to super
vlsors and roadnasters, and no one be
Permitted to act as such until he had
been examined by the board of county
engineers, answering fully all the ques-
tons laid down in the manual, as
above, and his appoin tment approved

spend the money appropriated for
roads in faithful manner paying
The usual wages in the district, and to
employ able men to do the work.
Proper penalties should be inflicted for
failure of duty on the part of anyone
Entrusted with the expenditure of
money raised for road taxes; and all
taxpayers should be vigilant in see
ing that supervisors and roadmasters
are prompt in keeping roads in repair
all the year, instead Of one or two
months.-William II. Richmond, Scran-
ton, Pa, in n. Y. Tribune.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Enstachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rum bling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

showed Il then.
Secretary Smiths points were ap-
