Butter Put Up II Attractive Packages
Always sells Well.
People who buy butter place greater
stress upon the appearance of the pack
age as it comes fram the hands Of tho
to think.
For many years it was the fortune of
the writer to buy the butter used in his
household. Such an experience will
soon convince one OF the value of neat
ness in bntter-making. We. indeed. suf-
fered many things from those who Of
fered us their wares. Poor tubs and
pals, with brine leaking through the
stained and discolored staves: half
salted and oyer-salted goods: under
colored and over-colored butter; butter
fresh and butter old and altogether un-
pleasant to look upon-all these and
more were presented to us for p,ir-
chase.
When we came on the farm we deter.
mined to make the best butter we could,
and offer 1t for sale only In the most
attractive form possible. My wife had
the advantage Of having been born on
farm, and, further, of having had for
a mother an excellent butter-mnker:
and our goods were always good. But
ter made in the summer would stand
until the next spring without injury.
We used the very best oak tubs and
took every possible pains to have our
butter salted properly.
Recently we have procured butter.
carrier with trays, etc, and fine print.
Butter put up in this way presents a
charming appearance. The other day
offered fine line put up in this way to
the city trade. There was but one com.
ment: THAT looks fine, anyway"
or Isn't that lovely butter!" II took
me but short time to dispose Of all |
Ind on hand and at something above
the market price. One man took a lot
without tasting or even smelling II; but
he had had some before and knew what
it was.
This method of putting up butter we
continued until June. when we began to
put it down in tubs for storing until
next fall.
1t Is not strange to me that SO much
butter is sold AT u low figure when SEQ
how absolutely inferior much of 1t is.
There would be a decided Improvement
all around II everyone used the greatest
possible care from milking to narkes-
ing to do their work thoroughly and
well. II those who do not exercise this
care could be compelled to buy for
year or two ] believe their eyes would
then be opened to the great value OF
nentness in the dairy.-E. L. Vincent

 within the Gift of tho Presideut

The Washington correspondent Of the Memphis Gommereial-Appeal writes that paper as follows;
 The Mexican Mission, which is con ceded to Gen. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, is the most profitable ap- pointment within the gift of the President, and the report that Gen. Clayton declined something better ill order to secure it must be taken with a great deal of salt There is probably more distinction attached to the English or the French mission, but not one carries such q possibility ofprofit. The salary, $l7.500, is as large as any paid by the Government with the exception of the Presidents remuneration. Messrs. Bayard, in Great Br.taln, Enstis in France, Uhl in Germany and Breckenridge in Russia, receive n similar income. but in every case their expenses are far greater. Aside from the proximity OI McXlcO dIlu tt1ifscIltHtii 9liieeitSi travelling expenses, it costs just abont half as much to live there as it does in this country.
