Years ago it was generally supposed
that in order to make really fine but
ter one must not allow a drop of water
to touch it. OF late years, since we
began to hear so much about granu-
lated butter, we have been instructed
to wash it in successive waters until
this was drawn off clear, or clear from
milkiness. 1t is my opinion that
neither one of those policies is the
right one to follow
/ have tested this matter of wash
ing butter for number of years, and
have come to the conclusion that
either extreme is to be avoided. To
wash it, even in granular form, until
the water runs off clear will give us a
butter that will not decay or turn
strong so soon as that not washed so
thoroughly, but it washes out much
of the flavor. On the other hand,
while the flavor is enhanced by the
washing, the buttermilk left in after
working will tend to putrefy, for. as
we all know, there is nothing which
more quickly spoiis and becomes ill
smelling than buttermilk.
To work out all the buttermilk
breaks the grain and makes the butter
salvy. OF course we do not want to
do this, so we will wash it in granular
form through two or three waters
depending upon quantity of water
used and also upon temperature of the
butter), work in the salt until
thoroughly incorporated, and call it
finished.-Mrs. E. R. Wood, in Jer-
sew Bulletin.

A Cougar Shot in His Doorway.

eff had left my house five minutes
later one morning not long since 1
should have stepped upon seven-foot
cougar in the vestibule," said T. f.
Drew, a mining man from the West.
SIT was not camp in the wilderness,
but my house on Pike street in Seattle,
Washington. 1t was n misty morning
when [ walked out at the door to go
to my place of business. Five min
utes later L heard several shots fired
back of me in the direction of nv
house. 1t was not until my return at
noon that | learned that the shots
which I had heard had killed cougar
in my doorway.
"The beast had got lost in the fog
and wandered into the town. He was
first seen just after / had left the
house by the motorman of an electric
car, crouching by the wayside in readi-
ness to spring at the car. The motor
man sounded the gong and cracked on
speed, and at that the cougar turned,
ran into the vestibule of my house and
crouched at the doorsill. The motor-
man hailed my neighbor, Mr.. Chaplin,
now President of leading bank, and
told him about the cougar. Chaplin
stepped back into the house, got a
Winchester rifle and shot the creature
where he lay. 1t was rather an odd
combination, a booming city, the cleo
tric cars anda cougar crouched in your
doorway, but things quite as strange
happen now and then in the towns
that spring up overnight"
