Broadleaf for Butter Kegs.
Handling a piece of well-seasoned broadleaf lately, which I had intended to prepare merely as a sample of the wood, but which in the frosty weather I put in in the fire, I thought it appeared a close sound wood, which, after proper tests, it was found to contain nothing to affect butter, it might be suitable for butter kegs. It was a dry piece, worm-eaten outer ring, or younger part, tho inner or heart would be sound and dense. Perhaps chemical tests would decide for or against. S' range if no wood suitable for pickling tubs could not be found in New Zea'and.— Waitahuna.
