How to Pack roll nutt.r

To handle roll butter successfullv
and have 1t retain some of its fresh
ness till sold, you must wrap each roll
in muslin that mas been washed to get
out the sizing and dipped in strong
salt brine. The brine will crystalline
over the muslin and help to keep the
air from it, and if you pack in boxes,
line the box in like manner with mus
lin and pack close SO as not to shake
while in transit. Be sure not to pack
poor rolls with the good. You had bet
ter put them in the grease tub or
fling them out of the back door. BY all
means ship your butter fresh. Do not
hold for higher market, as some do,
and sell it for grease. Ohio Farmer.

Youths Companions: Is there a diff
ference between grey and gray,
aside from the matter of spelling?
American photographers say there is
not, but the academy tells us that we
must be careful if we would give each
it's special application" And it adds
very learnedly: who does not feel
that some things are grey and others
gray?" If anybody does not feel that
way let him not be ashamed to speak
up.
DR.. Murray, the editor of the great
new dictionary that is now only part
ly published, went about in 1898 MAX
ing an inquiry as to usage and found
that opinions in London varied. The
replies to his questions showed that in
Great Britain the form grey is the
more frequent in use, despite the au-
thority of DR.. Johnson and later leXl-
cographers, who give the preference to
gray.
Many correspondents said they had
used the two forms with a difference
OF meaning or application, the distinc-
ton most generally recognized bling
that grey denotes a more delicate or
Lighter tint than gray. Others consid-
cred the difference to be that gray is a
warmer color. or that it has mixture
OF red or brown. The academy's own
opinion is that gray has more of senti-
ment, grey more of color, which means
that gray is a suggestion rather than a
positive outline.
After all this learned discussion peo-
pie will go on pronouncing the word
without reference to it's vowel, and in
saying that the shade is gray they
will let any one with a fancy for the
dispute spell it to suit himself These
fine distinctions may be ignored on the
plea of the brevity of life.

Simple Lesson In Economy.

It costs just as much toregain the
value Of an animal or plant as to pro-
duce such. Apound Of flesh lost must
first be regained before the next pound
can be produced. In the meantime
there is a loss Of laborand time. When
weeds prevent the. growth of plants
there is waste Of time in removing the
weeds, which could have been de-
stroyed when they were young. It's
not only the loss OF the articles which
diminish the profit, but the waste OF
valuable time cannot be recovered,
which keeps the farmer at . disad-
vantage. Il

MITCHELL IS CAUTIOUS

would take relative to the strike Of

workers, which has been declared at
Pittsburg.
Il can tell you better what effect
the steel strike will have on the coal
miners, :" he replied, guardedly. 3The
coal and steel industries are SO close
ly allied that a great strike of the
steel workers and the closing down
Of the great steel mills will very
greatly lessen the consumption Of
coal. That will mean that many coal
mines will cease operations"
"Is there likely to be sympathetic

ers %
Il do not care to say anything
about that" replied Mr.. Mitchell
.sThe strike of the steel workers has
not assumed definite proportions. It
cannot be told how far reaching it
will be, even within the order imme-
diately affected. / would not care to
say whether or not the coal miners
will be drawn into it, or even whether
such a thing has been considered.
