Nothing Like Cleanliness.

Mis 3 Hope Johnstono has made a report of her experience with the travelling dairy van of the Wye. College, England and it shows that occasionally a few improvements might be with advantage introduced into existing dairies. She says:— "ln One village I was especially amused with an old lady, who declared she always liked her butter clean, and she invited me to see her dairy. I went, expecting to bohold a model place, instead of which I was escorted to a very small, stuffy, little room, which contained numerous things in the way of eatables in corners, a bag of mouldy rags in another corner, and hanging from the ceiling were a not too clean pair of gloves. "Ah I said she, • I see you a looking at me gloves. Them 'ere gloves are most valyable ; I've *ad 'em this five year. I allus makes the butter in 'em, Fayther - that's my old man — he wears 'era on Sunday, and days wat I churns I rinses 'em and puts 'em on, and makes the butter. I never touches it with my 'and ! ' The latter sentence was said in a mo3t impressive voice."
