To Keen Bntter Sweet.

One can keep butter sweet long time, even in hot room where 1t Is half melted, by keeping it covered with brine made by putting into boiling wa ter all the salt it will take up. Then let it cool and pour over the butter Meat may be preserved in the same way. To be sure, 1t will become rather salt, but when you wish to use it take it out of the brine the night before and lay it across two spoons or sticks to lift it from the bottom of the dish in which you wish to soak it and then cover 1t with fresh water. The salt will then settle out of the meat, and it will fresh on nicely. You throw meat or fish Into the bottom of a vessel and cover it with water, and it will freshen very lit tie, for the salt does not fall out, but only to the lower side.

WASHINGTON, April 49, - Secretary

pert to scour the rice growing countries
of the world and thoroughly investi-
gate matters CONNECTED with the indus
try. This mission, which is to stretch
into the civilized ports of the world,

Knapp of Louisiana, who returned about
year ago~from an official trip of inves-
tigation in the Orient. The start will
be made about next July.
1t is proposed to hunt ont rice-grow-
ing countries, ascertain what they feed
both TO their beef animals and the work
teams, what rice can be grown on high
land that cannot be irrigated, what la
gunes can be used for forage for animals
used In the rice industry, and host OF
other kindred questions.
Great success in rice growing is re-
ported in the rice fields along the gulf
coast of Louisiana and Texas, and Sec-
retary Wilson predicts thata year hence
will witness the production in the

within the country. The rice consump.

The United States is now exporting
red rice and other second class rice,
which makes excellent food, to Porto
Rico. There is a good market for it
there. although the second-class rice
heretofore bad been fed to animals or
sold to brewers.
Secretary Wilson believes that the
future will find this country in the first
rank of rice-growing countries, and the
coming mission to the east with a view
to gathering information on the whole
subject is expected to yield good results
