Preserving Surplus Summer Butter.

About the most convenient way of
preserving a small quantity of butter
for future family use is TO wrap each
lump of butter by itself in a clean and
moistened piece of thin muslin, and
then pack in stone jars. Tubs will
do if perfectly sweet and not leaky
Keep the butter covered with a clear
brine made by bringing to boiling
point and holding for some minutes n
solution of salt in water 1t should
be made of good butter salt, free from
odor and pure water, and the solu-
ton should be saturated; 81, e., there
be as much salt added as will dissolve.
After boiling slightly for eight or ten
minutes set in cool place when thor
oughly cooled the brine may be poured
over the butter
BE sure to keep the butter well I'M
der the brine by means Of a slight
weight placed on top OF it, If the
butter is allowed to float ii will come
in contact with air and be injured.
The boiling removes the air from the
brine and destroys the ferments which
may pc present in the salt or water.
Keep the jars covered and on the bot
tom Of the cellar or other cool place.
II tubs are used put them on board
or stone to prevent hoops rotting
of. thought to be understood that
butter for long keeping must have
the buttermilk thoroughly removed
at the time is made. Treated in the
manner indicated there should be no
difficulty in preserving the summer
butter surplus for the following win
ter and spring consumption.-(r w.

years | have met more people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, derang-
ment, liver and stomach, and for consti-
patton. Lind for tourists and statesmen
or fol persons filling Office positions,
where headaches and general bad feel

The Masons Heard From.

Eds. "Record-Union": 1t was with
delight that we read the acceptance (by
the Phoenix Mill team?) of our chal-
lenge to play for a purse of $50 or more
If they can dig II up, which we very
much doubt. But. first, they must get
a team, and not do as they have in the
past. They have not put up the same
team twice. If they are allowed the
pick of the State, which they have
done, they can get a very hot team, but
which is not strictly amateur.
We beat them last season and got
their money. Then they fired most all
of their players and got a lot of ex-
professionals-hired NJ De Costa
(pitcher), but they were afraid to put
up any money, SO we played for moth
ing, and they won. A few weeks ago
let our pitcher pitch, but put in a man
out of practice and let them win.
Now we have got them going and will
play them under these conditions: First,
they to have an organized team of men
which had played four consecutive
games; second, they must give their
lineup when they put up the money;
third, if three games are played it must
be for $50 for each game, or more;
fourth. if we play in Oak Park we will
charge admission, the proceeds, after
the expenses are paid, to be given to
some charitable institution.
If they mean business, let them meet
me at any appointed place this week
and put up the money and arrange the
game. Now. Mr.. Farrell, put up or shut
up. We would like to hear from all
outside towns.
The Masons play in Folsom on Sun
day, the 23d.
