butter to market now, as fast as il is made.
and thereby accomplish two very desirable
objects. In the first place they get good
price for this butter as it is selling now for
thiriy-three TO thirty-six cents, and in the
second place they get rid of the early made
butter, which, if kept over until next Fall.
has TO be sold at grease price and often
spoils the sale of the entire dairy. You
will get more Tor your fresh butter now
than at any other season of the year, and
your dairy will be worth three to five cents
per pound more next Fall for having the
white and early made butter sold out of it.

will send Them 10 Won
