MAY BE ONLY TWO,
County School Districts May Reach No
More Than That Number.

As a result Of the meeting Of the trus-
tees Of several OF the county school dis
trlcts yesterday, County Supt Of
Schools Ashton may make material
change in the plan Of consolidation of the
80 school districts OF the county Instead
Of making eight districts there may be
only two. a number OF the trustees who
met with the county commissioners and
the county superintendent yesterday were
~ frst opposed to any merger AT all.
They had the impression that consolIda-
tlon meant that number Of the smaller
schoolhouses would be done away with
and their children would have TO 20 fur.
Their 70 school. After the matter was ex.
planned 10 them by Supt Ashton and the
commissioners they were more favorable.
II was then suggested that perhaps II
would be better 20 merge all the Jordan
stake districts into one large district,
The suggestion seemed TO meet with
favor and committee was appointed to
call meetings throughout the stake TO ex-
plain the proposition To the people. The
committee consists OF y. o, Rideout Of
Draper, r. G.. Monteer OF Union, and r..
IA, Richards OF West Jordan. Should this
EFFORT meet with success the remaining
districts will probably be consolidated In
TO one district The two districts will
elect three trustees 10 act until the Leg
islature meets and the law Is amended
so as TO permit Of larger number Of
trustees being elected.

GOOD BUTTER SALT.
Dairymen Should Exercise Great Care In
Its selection.

Oairymen Should Exercise Great Care In
It's selection.
Hunter Nicholson says in the Jersey
bulletin that there is almost as much
difference in the quality of salt as in
the quality of butter. Good butter salt
is fine-grained, bright-colored, clean,
pure and free of foreign odors. IT
must be fine-grained in order to mix
readily and dissolve regularly and
quickly through the butter; bright
colored, showing that it is well crystal
lized; clean, that is, free from foreign
substances; and free from bad smells,
which salt is very ready to absorb. Salt,
like everything else sold, is likely to
be adulterated. Baryta is most COM
monty used. A simple and trustworthy
small quantity in clear, hot water.
This will bring out any bad flavor and
disclose the presence of any foreign
substance. Pure salt will make clear
brine and deposit no sediment. If
tho brine smells, is cloudy or colored,
or leaves a. sediment, do not use the
salt for butter. There are a number of
excellent brands of salt, prepared ex-
pressly for the dairy. If you can find
out where they are sold, get a lot; be
careful, however, not to keep it near
any ill-odored substance, as it absorbs
odors very readily, and, once absorbed,
the salt is ruined beyond remedy. Be-
sides the American salts, there are one
or more foreign brands Of excellent rep
utation.
