While some dishes are improved for
most tastes by the judicious use Of good
butter, vastly greater mum Der are spoiled
by the IsJudicious use OF bad butter. To

SO many things have TO be taken into
consideration in calculating the weight Of
| hay in bulk it makes il difficult to get at
II precisely. For example: fine, new
mown hsy. like red-top or herd $ grass,
would probably require 800 cubic feet for
| the ton; timothy. $50; clover, $50; coarse
meadow hay, 20 or more After being
stacked thirty days the bulk would be
| decreased from TO 10 per cent, possibly
more. according TO the size Of the stack
and the pressure upon il. Again, hay
| will vary somewhat in measurement ac-

as it always should, il viii pack closer
