cash basis with small profits Some Of the
radical ones raised the cry Of, down with the
middlemen Bring the producer and con-
sumer togotherw Is il going to be practical
BILE Hadn't we better select some place to
trade where We can trade and give them o
small profit, and where we can 60 and select
our goods ourselves. Hadn't we better
make small saving on everything that we
buy, than to make a large profit on few
articles and on all Of the rest Of our stuff
pay the dealer his high prices think l
am safe in saying that three-fourths of the
purchases made by grangers are outside Of the
grange. think if we reckon the commits
sions of the state and subordinate agents,
our larger trade and the greater facilities
for suiting ourselves, we should find at the
end of year that we are better of inan-
cially aud it would be more satisfactory to
ourselves and everybody else. w. w.

makes as good an article as he knows how
to makei There are exceptions it is true,
but they are scarce as tubs Of prime butter
How can this be remedied7 BY acting up
to our present knowledge This is sufficient
in most cases. II there is a doubt as TO any
point, consult tho one who understands that
point. We have had line upon line upon
this question of butter.making. Long and
able articles have been written on the sub.
ject. 1t is now time we followed the course
Of the good Methodists, and come in with a
little exhortation--make an appeal TO the
tender spot, tho pocket--hold up that uu-
paid mortgage-tell him he is on the road
to bankruptcy with a remedy within reach
that the word failure as farmer is poor
heritage to leave to his children. If this
fails, set before him the beauties Of well.
kept farm, with comfortable and commodi-
GUS buildings, fields of waving grain, herds
of well.kept stock, prancing steeds before
the family carriage, and the comforts too
numerous to mention which abound on
well-kept farm.
How many comforts could be added to
the home OF farmer It he could have the
difference between prime article and an or
dinary article, say OF butter. Take for in.
stance dairy Of 20 COWS. Say they pro-
duce 200 pounds Of butter each, making to-
gether 1000 pounds, say Of poor quality
which sells for 35c. per pound, or Sl400.
A prime article say brings 40c., or $1,000
a saving of S200-enough to buy the wife
a silk dress, the man suit, and have suffi-
cient left to buy Christmas presents for the
children. And all this in one year. What
an amount of improvements could be made
on the farm with this saving in the course Of
ten years. Then there is the satisfaction of
having good article and obtaining fair
price. l AIN glad to know that farmers are
beginning to wake up to the Importance of
this fact
The butter and cheese made during the
past season in this country has on 40 aver.
age been 20 per cent. better than the previ-
GUS year, while the poor quality has been
80 per cent. less. This statement | think is
corroborated by those who have handled tho
goods. A large share of this improvement
is due to the influence Of this association !;
some to the season.
