Datry and Creamery.

Herve ig an attractive way to pack but ter for market. Get arectangular wood- en box about twice as long as it is wide aud of the same depth as width. Have it made of the size to hold an exact namber of pounds, either one, two, three, four or five. Line the boxes with purchment paper, then pack them solid with butter. Wien putting them up for taarket, a certain pumber of these box- és may be shipped in a crate. One pop- tlar style is to have the box hold exact- ly five pounds of butter, and then pack ten of such boxes in a crate for ship- ping. Have the butter absolutely first slass and then put your name and ad- dress or the name and address of tks creamery on each box. The butter will slip out of the box beautifully. A mar- ket for such fancy butter may be always found among people who like a good thing and will pay for it. The famous Philadelphia prints that bring so good a price in the New York markets are simply excellent butter done up for market in a fancy manner.

Do not fail to plant some beets for your cows to eat next winter if you have no ensilage.

It is recommended to boil wooden bowls in water an hour and let the wa- ter cool on them to prevent them fram cracking. But never be guilty of the atrocity of boiling wooden bow!ls in lard or painting them, as some recommend, to prevent cracking. A wocden bow! boiled in lard or painted even upon the outside would be a nice thing to scald, would it not, and a nice thing to put butter into after it had teen scalded?

The old fashioned way of ‘‘gather- ing’’ butter is wrong. Draw off the buttermilk when the butter is in grains the size of a wheat. Then dash water upon it and give the churn a few turna Draw off the water. Wash twice if the stream that runs out is not clear. Then sprinkle the salt upon the butter, still ju the granular state, and mix salt and butter thoroughly by a few more turns of the churn. Let the hutter etand till] it go hard in a place where it will take ne taint from the surrounding air, then work i into the shape desired, Put from half an ounce to an ounces df Sine clean sa}t to o pound of batter, ac- sording to the taste of yous quatomors, Mang excellent now aly

oie POCKETS.

Thirty of Them Made In a Pair ef Breeches of the Year 1611. Perhaps the best proof of the advance of the Japanese in civilization is to be found in their use of pockets. The peo- ple of that country have usually six or eight pockets cunningly inserted in the cuffs of their wide sleeves. These pock- ets are always filled with a curious mis- cellany. Ascommon as the twine in the pockets of young Americans is the pray- er amulet written on sheets of rice pa- per aud composed by the bonzes. In ao- cordance with their faith, these amnu- lets are swallowed like a pill in cases of mental or physical distress. Another essential seldom missing is a number of small squares of silky paper. These are put to unexpeoted uses, such as to hold the stem of a lily or lotus, to dry a tea- cup or to wipe away a tear. Among the Chinese and other nations a pouch is used instead of a pocket. This was also the case in western Europe in the mid- dle ages and for some time afterward. The pouch was attached to the girdle, along with a dagger and rosary. It was ealled an aulmoniere or gipciere. It was often ornamented with curious patterns, gold and silk threads, coats of arms and religious sentences. A dramatist of the time of Heury VIII wrote: From my girdle he plucked my pouch; By your leave he left me never a penny. Breeches, however, had pockets at an early date. In an old play written about 1611 it is mentioned that a man had hia breeches piaited as if they bad 30 pock- ets. But pockets did not attain their proper positicn until the adoption of the medern style of men’s garments. With waistcoats a great opportunity for pockets presented itself. Later they were made very broad and deep und were covered with embroidery and buttons, In the reign of George III waistcoat pockets reached such size in England that they became objects of ridicule, so that thes son began to resume more moderate proportions. —New York Post.
