Keeping Good Butter

Good butter may be safely packed to
keep six months ormore if the right way
is taken. 1t used to be done years ago
when it was the custom to keep the sur
plus product for sale then, there being
no winter dairy to supply the demand.
The butter must be naturally good and
sweet, and worked quite free from the
buttermilk by thorough washing, There
need be no fear that this will hurt the
butter, for 1t cannot take anything from
1t, the fat being wholly insoluble in wa
ter, and only the buttermllk will be
washed out of it. which 1t must be or 1t
will be detriment to the butter, as pro
dueing changes of the fat into volatile
acids, by which the acid 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 scaid-
ed, then washed in two or three waters.
then rubbed with fine salt inside, and
whiie wet the butter is packed in them,
being firmly pressed down so as to leave
no vacancies in the mass. When the
package is filled 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 ehe edge
of the package, fine, dry salt then being
put in smoothly to the top, then a dry
cloth, well washed, is tied down firmly,

more cloth. The air is thus excluded ;.
and the butter will be as good or little
better than when it was packed, as it I'M

II he be a "benefaetor of his race
who causes two blades of grass 10
grow where only one blade grew
before" hew much more must he bsne-
fit the world who plants that which
shall continue to grow in beauty and In
strength, and become of still greater
benefit to the world the years go on!
There is something grand, and some
thing sad in the planting of tree. 1t
is grand because ii is beneGt bestowed
upon, and labor performed for those
who shall come after US; it is sad
because our own eyes shall not see the
results of the work we do.
And who may know the unmeasured
good the planting of single tree may
do1 As time goes on, and the sun smiles
upon it, and the clouds weep over 1t,
and the gentle winds caresS it, it shall
spread out its leafy hands toward heaven
as IN prayer, and be to every heart ga
thing of beauty and joy forever"
The birds shall build their nests among
tsbranches, and fiji the palpitating air
with melody; beneath Its cooling shade
when summer suns shine warm, the
laugh of children shall resound; the
sturdy tread of manhood shall be heard
and the tottering steps of the agedjshall
loiter there. Perhaps, upon the soft,
green carpet beneath its shade fond
lnUaFe shall a.
happy bride shall laugh out beneath It's
trembling leaves, in very joy to be
alive and love. Perhaps, too, beneath
its shade grown wide and deep, there
may be dug, some day, grave, in which
hall lie, in dreamless sleep, the beauti-
full and good. Then shall the tree ward
winters and summers heat from off
that grave, and bend as In perpetual
benediction, above the silent dead"
And so, through the chills of many
winters and the heats of many summers,
the tree we plant today shall tremble In
the wind aad glisten in the sun; Will
generations come and pass on to return
no more, 1t shall year by year renew its
vigor, and live on.
Grander than any dead granite is the
more lasting monument of living tree !;
sweeter than any chiselsd words is the
rustling of its leaves; better than the
lifeless formula "Here lies the body" is
the fact that somewhere there lives a
tree that some hand, now perhaps, alas
for it! only dust, planted long, long ago,
that the living might rejoice in It's
beauty and worth.

Barley as a Milk-Produciux Food.

In accordance with your request for
information concerning the value Of
barley as milk producing food, permit
me to state that barley is the aain cereal
crop in the Northern Europe countries,
and is there considered very valuable
feed both for fattening and for milk and
butter producing stock. It is not fed as
much to milk cows as to swine, since
wheat bran may generally be had at the
same, or less, cost and Is often preferred
by dairymen, even when there is no diff
ference In the price of the two feeds.
When fed to milk cows, barley is pref
erably ground medium fine, or at aRy
rate crushed. 1t should be fed dry. In
stead of feeding it alone, a mixture Of
barley and oats, sown, harvested and
ground together, Is often fed, the ratio
between the two cereals being as one to
two, or as two of barley to three of
oats, by Weight. This feed Is considered
of greater value to milk cows than pure
barley, since the slightly constipating
tendency of barley is counteracted by
feeding oats with it; oats fed alene will

Jane had been forced TO speak, and she,
poor SOUL flushed hotIy and answered.
"You'll be kind enough to call me Mrs.
Murphy after this
And the visitor retorted:
"You've about as much right to that
name, believe, as your aunt has to my
spoons"
Poor Jane! 1t was very hard upon her.
So, when her boy grew older there
were children near by who, If he ven-
tured into their company, were dragged
away as though he had the plague. And
when Jane would have placed him at
one good school, Aunt Dinker having
allowed the money, the lady who pre-
sided thereover gently limited that it
would not do.
And little Richard, clinging to her
hand, asked as they went home:
"What is it, mammal"
Then poor Jane wished that she were
dead
Old Miss Dinker called in high dun
geon upon the old schoolmistress and
demonstrated vain. The fact that she
stole spelling book during her brief
stay did not further her object When a
little boy was sent for it at dusk Jane
wished herself dead again. If only she
could have had pride in anything or
anyone, She thought, but life was all
shame to her
ooh, aunt, if you only wouldn't" she
sobbed, and Aunt Dinker shook her
head.
"Habits are hard to break" she said,
"but I'll try. Only you oughtn't to be
so hard on me when I've stuck to you
So And then she revealed a plan
which she had concocted for giving the
boy an education. an put him to the
best school in New York" she said.
"I'll keep the story that they tell-lie as
it is-to myself and I'll pay his bill reg
ular "Tain't likely I'm going to see
him grow up without eddication. Well
make him clergyman or doctor.
Wen snap our fingers in the faces of
these critters. I'll take him up myself
tomorrow and ne shall come down every
Saturday night"
81 shall miss him so,' said Jane, "but
it's for his good, and thank you, aunt"
So Jane spent the night in tears and
in the morning Aunt Dinker went to
the city, taking with her little Richard.
Jane suffered a great deal that day
and wien at night she saw Aunt Dinker
return alone she could not find voice
to speak to her. But the old lady was
in good spirits. She sat down before
the fire with her shawl on and told Jane
how pleased Richard was with the Jour
ney and how Miss Speers had admired
him. Jane brought her her tea and she
took it sitting by the fire, but still kept
on her shawl, and, moreover, the shawl
looked curiously thick and bunchy.
