Show Butter by the Yard. In Cambridge, England, butter Is sold by the yard, not by tho pound. The dalrymon of that town have for many years rolled their butter Into lengths, a length being a yard and weighing ono pound. Neatly wrapped In strips of cloan whlto cloth, tho cylindrical rolls of butter are packed In long, narrow baskets made for tho purposo and so taken to market Tho, Car.ibrldgo butter dealers have, thoroJ fore, no need of weights or scales for determining tho quantity of their wares. Constant practlco and on experienced ex-perienced eye enable them with a stroke of the knlfo to divide the but-i ter Into halves or quarters with almost mathematical precision. This yard-long butter finds its chief purchasers among the people of the university. It appears that this but ter Is peculiarly adapted to the special spe-cial needs of the students in the dally commons. Cut into conveniently sized pieces and accompanied by a loaf of wheaten bread, a stated portion Is sent evory morning to the rooms of the undergraduates un-dergraduates for use at breakfast and tea. |
