KEEPING BUTTER.
' To the woman who can’t afford to have an ice-chest the keeping of butter is a very serious Here is a good idea. Choose a soup-plate into which you can put a saucer upside down. On the saucer put the butter in the butter-paper in which it is bought. Put cold water in the soupplate, but not sufficient to cover the saucer. Rinse a piece of rag out -»r cold water, put it over the butter, with its edges-in the water. Put the whole thing in a cool place whore there is a draught—by a wire-netted window if possible. Keep two cloths; wash oi > daily in cold water, and dry in sunshine. Butter kept in this way is firm, ami never loses its sweet flavour. Be careful never to let the bare butter come in contact with the cloth; when yon cut some off wrap the rest carefully in the paper before replacing the cloth. Keep two rags going, wash well and boil occasionally.
