SAL.TED BUTTER.
Why 1t Keeps Better Thnn- Butter
That Is Fresh.

Why 1t Keeps Better Thnn Butter
That Is Fresh.
Why does salt butter keep better
than fresh butter? We must first real
lze that the bacterial population Of
moderate sized pat of butter may be
reckoned by millions, that a tiny lump
only large enough to so into thimble
has been known to be tenanted by
nearly 4S,00OO00. that. in fact, in con-
suming a slice Of bread and butter you
may uncousciously be assimilating in
dividual lives exceeding in number
those Of the whole of Europe. Thus
the urgency for keeping these hordes in
check and hence the efforts which are
made, first. to set up effectual barriers
to their ingress by taking proper pre-
cautions in the prodGction of milk and,
second, in the conduct of the processes
involved in the manufacture and distri-
button of the finished article.
Included in these processes is the ad-
dition of salt ID such quantities as to
justify the butter being known as salt
butter. this addition being made with
powers af the butter or, in other words,
to suppress to large extent the activi-
ties of the butter bacteria. That salt
does act in this manner is shown by
the fact that in butter thus treated
very large reduction in the number of
micro-organisms present is effected.
There can be little doubt therefore,
that the common butter microbes do
not by any means regard salt as their
elixir of life.
In England boracic acid is said to be
extensively used in butter as preserv-
ative or antiseptic agent, while in the
United States a recent public health
document states that none was report
ed to have been found in the samples
of butter examined. This is probably
due to the fact that in America there
exists strong prejudice in favor Of
salt butter. whereas in England the use
of salt butter is the exception and not
the rule. Hen te in America salt can
be used as preservative instead Of the
boracic acid employed for that purpose
In England.
The densely populated condition OF
butter above referred to Is not to be
wondered at If we realize that the raw
material in the shape of milk may con-
tain from 100000 to as many as 169..
100000 of bacteria In a few drops

As His Child Saw Him.

A prominent real estate man in Los
Angeles had an experience few even
ings ago that kept him guessing for a
little bit as to whether he should feel
complimented or otherwise. He was at
home with one little daughter while
his wife and another of the children
were downtown. Darkness was COM
ing on, and the little girl was anxious
~ watching for her mothers return.
Her nervousness grew apace in spite Of
the fathers attempts at reinsurance.
At length the little one burst into
tears, saying:
~ just can't help it. / need mamma,
and / must have her."
DO you do this way when your
mamma is here and I'm away" asked
the father.
mo, Of course not" replied the little
one, "'cause then there's some grown
up person about the house!'-Los An

Three Ru1ea For Fishing.

One day as the Rev. Mark Guy
Pearse of London was strolling along 8
river bank he saw an old man fishing
for trout and pulling the fish out one
after the other briskly. You manage
it clever]y. old friend" he said. u
have passed good many below who
don't seem to be doing anything"
The old man lifted himself up and
stuck his rod in the ground. We'll, you
see, sir, there be three rules for fish
ing, and It's no good trying it if you
don't mind them. The first is. Keep
yourself out Of sight: the second is.
Keep yourself further out Of sight, and
the third is, Keep yourself further out

A Great work of Art.

1t was Apelles who visited the studio
of Protogenes in Rome and, finding the
artist absent, drew Il thin colored line
in such a way that the Roman knew
that only his Grecian brother could
have done it. But, not to be outdone,
Protogenes drew thinner line upon
that of Apelles, and when this was
seen Apeles drew a third line upon
that of Protogenes. This panel was
then looked upon as the greatest work
of art, SO says the story, in the palace
Of the Caesars.

committee as chairman of the Canadian
county central committee, that Canadian
county had no candidate for the council
nomination and assuring them that if
Kinghsher would accede TO our request
for equal representation we would not
contend for any candidate of our own.
This paper does not desire to shield
Mr. Forrest from any part of the 'cuss-
ing he is receiving. because we believe
that he deserves it on general principles.
but il he wrote such letter TO the
Kingfsher central committee, it reflected
the facts and the sentiments of the rank
and file OF the Democracy of this county,
not only at the time, but today. At that
time no Democrat Of this county had even
intimated that he wanted the nomination
AS a delegate. we must confess that we
never heard any mans name mentioned
