Judging from the amount of salt one
occasionally finds in butter, it would
seem as though the maker believed
that salt preserved the butter. This is
not so. Salt preserves butter to GER
tain extent and greatly improves the
taste. but the keeping quality of butter
does not depend upon salt, according
to Dairy and Creamery. If salt has
been used in washing, the finished but
ter will not require as much, or, in 9th
er words. the drier the butter the Jess
salt needed. From one to two ounces
of salt per pound of butter fat should
be used. Butter only retains from one
half to three-fourths of the salt, de-
pending upon the conditions of the salt
which should be kept fine and in a
clean place. as it absorbs odor. The
salt does not enter the individual but
ter granules or grains. but is dissolved
in the water present, and any excess of
it promptly adheres to the surface of
the grains and is pressed between
them. Thus we see the Importance of
the kind and right use of salt.
DON'T Always Blame the Cow.
How natural it is for butter maker
to attribute the cause Of poor batch
of butter to the feed the cows get or
the ancient condition of the milk. We
are too much inclined to blame poor
old .'Brin" or the food for f1avors
which we are responsible for. If we
take the cream in hand Immediately
after separating, use good starter
or controller. as Professor Mckay
terms it-instead of allowing it to
sour. we can improve the finished
product several points on favor.-Ed-

Information comes through the cham
nels of the Commercial Club that Bir-

plant with a daily capacity of 100 tons
or more. News to this effect was re-
ceived yesterday by a prominent ice deal
er In this city from a friend in Chicago,
who stated that machinery for plant of
this size had been purchased. and that
It was understood that 1t would be

the Commercial Club received letter

the district. He has not heard from the
person since. but it is supposed he Is the
one who has ordered the machinery for
a plant.
Should the plant be erected here 1t will
probably mean that the price of Ice will
drop somewhat. Birmingham now has
very reasonable prices for ice when COM
pared with some of the other Southern
cities, but the new plant will probably
make them still lower.

BELT LINE APPEALS
TO HIGHER COURT
ATTORNEYS FILE NOTICE OF APP.
PEAL FROM CHANCELLOR CAR.
MIcHAEL's DECISION IN THE
sEABoARp-BELT SUR.

Attorneys for the Belt Line yesterday
appealed to the Supreme Court from
the decision of Chancellor Carmichael In
the Seaboard-Belt injunction suit. This
will delay the work Of construction along
the streets and avenues of Birmingham
under the franchise granted to the Sea-
board by the city Council several months
ago, as the case will probably not be
heard by the Supreme Court until the
middle of November or the first of De-
cember.
The appeal of the Belt Line is great
surprise to many, as the decision render
ed ten days ago in this controversy by
Chancellor Carmichael seemed to be sat
isfactory to all parties at Interest, and
it was predicted that the two factions
would confer and reach satisfactory
and amicable adjustment Of any differ
ences.
While the action Of the Belt people In
appealing their case TO the Supreme
Court will bar any work of the Seaboard
Air Line within the city limits, it does
NOT prevent them from building their
road to the city, and it is probable that
this work will go along as intended.

per cent interest on the entire amount.
Should the former plan be adopted by
Birmingham she viii have all the terri
tory west of Georgia from which to raise
the amount.
1t is claimed to be a good investment,
and that good returns will be made. There
are 100000 children in the south, and a
large majority Of these attend school.
Each child uses about s1.bo worth Of
books a year. Should tins concern sell
all these children the amount Of money
taken in yearly would be several million
dollars, of which 80 1-3 per cent is reck-
oned as profit.
Hirmingham's Advantages.
Birmingham is thought TO be the most
suitable place for the plant, owing to its
cepted it win mean the erection here Of
one of the largest publishing houses in
the country, employing narly 1000 skilled
workmen.
Those interested have been in commun-
ication with a prominent Birmingham
man who will be one of the incorporators
of the concern. Other prominent men
have also consented to be incorporators.
and as soon as the financial side can be
arranged the company will commence &C
tive operations.
The Confederate Veterans are largely
interested in the movement, as 1t will
mean the binding closer together Of their
organization and also aiding in keeping
alive the memories they hold so dear.
Five cities are spoken OF as possible
places for locating the plant-Birming-
ham, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville
and Atlanta. Should Birmingham decide
to accept the offer the executive commit
tee would be composed of Birmingham
men, and the entire management would
be in Birmingham. Several other men in
terested in the movement are expected
here today and they will be present at
the conference this morning.
