Putting Down Butter

Milk and butterfat are cheaper now
It is therefore the time to put down
butter to use next winter, when
prices Will be higher, and all the
cream can be sold. A very simple
and sure plan is to take a crock or
jar, and to sterilizc it thoroughly by
scalding. Then after allowing it to
cool. pack the butter down in layers
of about four inches. Between each
layer sprinkle a light layer OF the
following mixture: y 10 sugar, ms
salt and i ID of powdered saltpetcr
Leave about 3 inches at the top, and
cover with a solution of brine that
will float an egg. Put in a cool cell
lar. Butter put down this way, it is
said will be as pure and sweet next
winter as that which is newly
churned.-Farm Life.

Auto Falls 10 Feet
and Dips in Stream

George L. Morse of Burleigh street
is the fortunate survivor OF an uh-
usual accident which occurred Friday
evening about $50 at his home on
Rurleigh street. To view the scene OF
the accident it seems nothing short of
miraculous that Mr.. Morse escaped
rious injury.
Mr. Morse drove in from Oakland.
where he had been on business. in a
seven-passenger Buick car and rolled
into the garage at his home. when
ne attempted to stop the carsthe clutch
stuck and the big machine Kept on
going right out through the rear end
Of the garage. 1t took drop of 10
feet TO the ground. dashed across q
S0-foot space and shot into the Mess
alonskee. landing in the water about
one-third of the way across the
stream. Tie automobile sank in about
10 feet of water but fortunately right
side up. Mr. Morse left the machine
and swan to shore and after all this
experience he came to shore with his
hat on, his glasses in place and his
pipe still in working order.
When the automobile broke through
the end of the garage. boards and
timbers few in all directions. The
windshield Of the machine was smash
ed and the broken glass was scattered
oil around Mr.. Morse. who escaped
injury with the exception of slight
cut on his left hand. which vas also
bruised. probably hcing struck with
come of the flvinS timbcrs. Mir, Morse
said that he fully realized his danger
as the car made the drop 10 the earth
but he was thankful even in the mo-
ment of danger that the machine
stayed right side up.
The automobile was rescued from
It's position at the bottom of the
stream by the use Of ropes and pull
|eys with leverage on the nearby trees
The car when it first was immersed
was completely under water. but sun
day morning when the stream was
lowered just the outline of the top
could be seen. It's now at the Water.
