Salt Butter: How to Preserve it In reply to "Settler" and others who are eoing in for making salt butter, the following directions may be useful . — Use only sound kegs that will not leak, an essential factor in keeping butter for a length of time. If for export, kegs should have Kalranised hoops. They must of i-ourse, be thoroughly clean and sweet. Of butter«c!oth, make a bag wide enough for the keg and long enough to wrap over the top of the butter, when the keg is full. The butter should have fully an ounce of salt to the pound, and br salted twice; that is, after the butter is washed thoroughly, all the buttermilk being extracted, it should be salted a little, say, as for fresh butler, then left for a day or two, and worked again, the remainder of the salt being put in. Well worked, it will not be streaky, as salt butter is sometimes. Put a little salt or brine at the bottom of the keg, then the I bag, into which put the bntter, well pressed down. Fill to within an inch or so of the top, this space being for brine, which must be kept at the top always, replenishing when required. In case the " butter may float in the keg, and to aroid such a contingency, a narrow stripr of: . wood can be put oa the top, Teaching across to each side ; a nail at both ends wiil keep.it in place. Kegs' "can. ", r bej r " headed up or not ,at a settler's. option^' until they "are sent to market.' "If beaded ". ~ up at once, "there must of necessity bo ; an auger hole at the top for putting m the ■ brine as it may be required. I hardly v need add that to have first-class salt ' butter it must be. first class when put, . into the .kegs. A tour establishment yro ;_ hare salted tons of butter according to the above method, and we are still following it. The butter '^uiis salted; and" put in a coo], sweet place, will keep 'good for a great many month's. — " Agriebla" ia the Herald. /■ . Running a Paper By some unaccountable misapprehend sion of facts, there is, a. large class; of people in the world.who think that it costs little or nothing to run a news* paper, and if they buy a copy from the newsboy, when too far" from the. office to come and beg one, they are regular' patrons, and entitled to unlimited favors. Men call every day atf Jhe. ! newspaper offices to ge^ a,, copy of the daily paper, just from the press, r,for nothing, who, would never,dream pfoeggirig a pocket hanoikerchief fronf a dry goods store, or a piece 'of caudy from a cohfectionerrerenrupdn the plea~of "old "" acquaintance, having bought something once before. But this is a small drain compared with the free advertising a newspaper is expected to do. Some men who bare, paid two dollars, at an early period of life, for an advertisement worth four or fire, appear to thin* they are stockholders in the establishment for eternity. They demand the publication of all marriage and funeral notices, obituaries and family episodes, for the next j forty years, gratis. Speak of pay, and ! they grow indzinant. "Don't I patron nise your paper P" " Yes ; but you re« ceiye the worth of your money what you pay." " But," says the patron, "it will j not cost you anything to put this in," which is ju«t as ridiculous Sas to ask a man to grind your nxe on his grindstone, aud graciously tell him it wont cost him a cent. It takes money to run a newspaper as well as any other business ; no paper will succeed financially that carries a deadhead system. — Press. Now that electricity has been adopted by the State of New York as a substitute for hanging, it is suggested that it might be substituted for the cat. ",Why should not electricity in a milder form,' writes b cot respondent of an English paper, "be used as a substitute for the. cat, for the reformation of garroters, wife- beaters, and such like vermin P While less • brutal,' it can be made quite as terrible and effective, and can be controlled to suit different degrees of crim» inality and different temperaments. Put a man in circuit of an alternating current and work it up the degree of shock decreed by the sentence," A correspondent writes to the Times calling attention to the increased wear and tear mentally and bodily of the drir- - ers and stokers on the special trains in "the race to Edinburgh." A friend of one of the drivers told him. that he saw a marked effect on his apparent health. The driver told him his anxiety. ; was greatly increased. On one occasioning, . stoker, who* had gone along the engine to oil a valve, become paralysed with fear so that he could not more forwards or backwards. He (the driver)' had to'leare his place and follow his stoker, and seize his hand, and so they regained their standing place. The distances run are so great, and the pace f»o rapid, that any. , oiling, &c, is done with increased risks The force of the wind is so great 'that . when the stoker creeps along the f00t.,, plate alongside of the engine he has to hold on by the hand rail like grim death, , and has been carried off his feet, The public ought, to know the danger they unnecessarily incur and the heary tar>.. they lay upon the powers of the drivers. .
