A NOVEL WAY TO POT BUTTER.

„ «. !Dne of the new things talked aboul Vaji a late meeting of tho American man's Association was thf preparing of butter for market in the following way, which we condense from "American Daivymau : — Stop churning as soon as it is apparent "the butter isabout to separate. Reduce the temperature to about o4 deg or 55 deg by pouring cold water in the churn. Agitate slowly until.separation takes place and the buttei pellets are formed. Draw off the butter milk and pour in cold water. Pour in more water till the butter floats. Ftir a little and draw off the water Pour in more water and repeat until the water is clear, the last time saturating with brine Have a nice oak firkin previously soaked, scalded, and the pores of the wood filled with hot brine, and afterwards cooled — ready for the butter. Fill with butter, pouring on top enough saturated brine to cover — set in a cool, sweet place. Bore a hole in the cover, and put it in; tighten the hoops, fill the firkin full of brine, and cork tight. Let it stand in a cool place, keep full of brine. Thft bufer will keep good and sweet any length of time. When any of it is wantt-d for i'hp. open tlie firkin juul take out what is wanted ; work it a *■ lhile, and it is ready for- the table. It can bo salted to the taste, or what salt has bean taken from tha brine can be washed out. Any one can try this with butter intended for family use.
