Butter In Slices.

From time immemorial ia Cambridge,
England, the dairymen roll the butter
SO as to form a long stick weighing
q pound, which they sell in slices, as If
It were sausage. In the market the
butter merchants do not need to use
either weights or scales. A simple
glance is sufficient for these people
accustomed to the time honored prac-
tice. A very neat cut with the knife
divides the yard into halves, quarters
or eighths very exactly, and it appears
that the customer is never given short
measure.
