ANXIOUS.
A.-Take fresh butter of tho best
quality and press II thru a clean
cloth, to make Il as dry as posi-
Bile. Then cut II into small pieces
and pack closely into glass Jars,
leaving no vacant spaces. Close
the Jars with cork shoppers, seal
Theoretically and fasten with wire

and heat TO the boiling point But
ter thus treated will keep In cool

Our grandmothers used to pre-
serve butter for six months by the
following simple method:
Work butter with paddles until II
is free from all water and butter
milk. Pack in stone jars and cover
with clean muslin cloth. over
which put one-half inch OF salt.
Keep in n cool cellar.
Paddles. utensils, etc. must be
scalded thoroly. and great cleanli-
ness used turnout the entire
process.

Aliens and Their Dogs.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.


There may be nothing of much in

dog life of Pennsylvania, but there is
considerable that is of Importance.
For instance the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture that adjourned a few weeks ago
passed a bill, which the governor sign
ed prohibiting aliens from owning
dogs To some this would look like
ridiculous discrimination, yet it is bas-
ed on "a condition in the mining re-
gions that has proved very expensive
to the people, and whose adjustment
has caused much perplexity.
1t would seem that any man, native
or foreign, should not be denied the
privilege of owning dog. A trained,
well-b bred dog is very lovable sort of
animal, but in crowds or herds dogs
are a pest, albeit through no fault of
their own. Nearly every foreigner in
the mining districts has owned his dog,
and often cared for it with more affec-
tion than for his own wife, but thons-
ands of them were not satisfied with
only one dog. Some owned half roz-
en- or a dozen-until the dog assessor
or tax collector came round, and then
all the dogs in the community. with
rare exceptions. proved to be owner
less and homeless.
Throughout the night these usually
worthless dogs in packs roamed the
countryside and destroyed many thous-
ands of sheep. The responsibility as
to ownership, although well under
stood. could never be definitely placed.
