After washing, the butter should be
removed from the churn In the granu-
lar form. weighed and placed upon
the worker. 1t should be spread even
~ on the surface of the worker and
sailed to suit the taste of customers.
The tendency seems to favor fresher
butter. From one-half to three-quar-
tiers Of an ounce Of salt to the pound
OF butter will be about right. The salt
used should be the best obtainable, and
1t should be slfted over the butter and
perhaps mixed In to some extent with
the paddle. After passing the worker
over 1t once or twice the butter should
be turned and worked again until the
salt seems to be thoroughly worked
In. III may then be put away to cool
and after several hours given the inal
working. The amount of working ~
CURED the second time is TO- by deter
mined by the appearance ofNthe but
ter. If the salt is not all worked In at
first working, portions of the bntter
will be Of a lighter color than the rest.
1t should be worked just enough 10
make it all Of uniform color. At first.
working there Is no way of telling pos
ihvely whether 1t is worked enough or
not, as the .'mottlcs," or streaks, will
not show for several hours; hence the
reason for two workings. Great care
should be taken not TO oyerwork 1t. as
this will spoil the grain, which con
sists simply OF the butter granules that
we had in the churn. When a piece of
butter OF the right grain Is broken or
pulled apart. it should have the APP
pearance Of broken cast iron; If worked
too much, it viii have a salvy. greasy
appearance. Care should be taken to
keep the butter at all times at a uni
form temperature, as it win then re-
main hard and firm until ffnished.-M.

PROF. MAYNE ARNOLD.
AN EFFICIENT AND HONORABLE
OPTICIAN WHO is ABOVE
TRICKERY.
Daily Proving That He Is strictly
Fair to ALL Consequently Reap
Ing a Heavy Patronage

I ~
In editorially recommending to our
readers Prof. Mayne Arnold, the OPP
tician, who is at present In Oskaloosa,
The Herald does not think it has de-
parted from its well-known conserva
tive course, for it does so only after
acquiring thorough acquaintance
with the gentleman and his dealings
with his patrons. No better criterion
than this could have been chosen,
In response to his advertisements
many people called upon Prof. Arnold
who were dissatisfied with the glass
es they had been using. In many
cases they were sent away after a
free examination, the gentleman In
forming them that no spectacles
could be procured better suited d
their sight than the ones they had.
These facts have become known to
/ us, not through Prof. Arnold, but
from the parties themselves, who
warmly recommend friends with de-
fective vision to visit this oculist-
so obviously free from any tricks of
trade.
| Testimonials are very well in their
way, but unless accompanied by con-
firmatory evidence they do not have
much weight with the general public.
But accompanied by the testimony
of home witnesses known to us all,
such testimonials as Prof. Mayne
, Arnold has, appear in an unquestion.
able light.
The value of Prof. Arnold's specta.
Giles, constructed to aid defective
vision upon strictly scientific princi-
pies have received recognition at the
hands of hundreds of prominent ply.
sicans from various parts of the
world. We have carefully examined
scores of unsolicited testimonials
tcf their genuineness there is not
the slightest possibility of a doubt)
from professors in theological insti-
tutes and divinity schools, United
/ States senators, ex-governors of
states, judges of supreme courts, pro-
fessors in medical Institutes, presi-
dents of business colleges and COM
mercial schools, superintendent of
state schools for the blind, including
hundreds from prominent physicians
of more than ordinary repute in their
several localities, all of which speak
in terms of praise in regard to the
professors skill. ..
When men of such business sagac-
ity and shrewdness as these come
forward and put their names under
such strong testimonials it is no idle
talk, but means something, and leaves
not the vestige. of a doubt in the
minds of the most incredulous of the
professors ability, with his long
years of experience, his costly and in
genious appliances, together with his
matured and trained Judgment to
benefit those securing his services
often beyond their most sanguine ex-
| pectations.
Prof. Arnold's headquarters are op-
posite the Spencer wholesale build
ing, Oskaloosa, Iowa. To all having
defective vision we would say give
him call and it will be the means
of preserving your sight II it is in
the power of any optician in the
world to do so.
