BUTTER BY THE YARD.
An English Tonyn In Which the Ola

LInenI measure.

Probably Cambridge, England, isthe
only place in the world where one
would be likely to find butter sold by
lineaE measure. but here, in accord
ance with the old custom, it is sold by
the yard, says the Southern Agricul-
turist. For generations it has been
the practice of Cambridgeshire dairy
folk to roll their butter into lengths,
each length measuring n yard and
weighing a pound. Deity wrapped
in strips of clean white cloth. the
cylindrical rolls are packed in long
and narrow baskets made for the pur-
pose, and thus conveyed to market.
The butter women that in white lin
en- aprons and sleeves preside over the
stalls in the mart have no need of
weights or scales for dispensing their
wares. Constant practice and an ex-
perienced eye enable them with a
stroke of the knife to divide a yard
of butter into halves or quarters with
almost mathematical exactness.
The university people are the chief
buyers of this curiously shaped article.
