Avoiding Germs In Butter.

So carefully are germs avoided in the dairies of Donmurk that the celebrated butter of the country, much of which is sent to England, is washed when it is thought nece|sary In water that has been boiled. T The butter is however, rarely washed, but is first worked over by hand by girls who are scrupuouly clean, and afterward finished by machinery. This butter, which is made with the greatest care from milk that is strained through flannel, and afterward filtered through clean gravel, is white ip color when finished and is artificially colored. It is very little salted when used at homo, but more or less salt is added when it is sent as far as England. It is said to retain its fine quality when shipped better than any butter known. As an incentive to furnish only pure milk the owners of the cows are under contract to notify the buyers at once if there is any sickness in their herd. The milk is then bought from them and paid for at the usual price, but it is thrown away.
