BUTTER for the past month has been
abundant, cheap, and for the most part
good, at least so the makers thought. Its
looks indicated it ought be satisfactory
about as good as could be made, but IN

Butter has fictitious price and value.
In giving an account of visit to the cele
brated dairy farm of the Darlington Bros.
TINS paper says " The price obtained now
Tor the butter is from so to 90 cents ner
pound; in the winter it is usually one dol. |
lar. Tho owners say that they have M
difficulty i'll selling all they can make. nor
in collecting their bills. Among their New
York customers are such men as Auoust
Belmont, VIM. B. and John Jacob AStor
and many other well known capitalists
lhere IS no secret about making "ciIt !
edged butter, Mr.. Darlington said, but il |
IS SIMPLY the result of devoting their en-. |
tire and exclusive attention to its produc |
ton. The brothers know what good butter
IS they have the right kind of land and alI |
the necessary appliances for making it. and /
they are well paid for bringing these es
sentals together. 1t was Jesse's oninion
that it would hardly pay them to make
butter as they do it at the present market
prices, but as they manage the business
they find the profits satisfactory. The
stock was mostly OF the ordinary kind,
more attention being paid to the product
OF the cow than the special breed of the
animal itself"
The success of this dairy farm, in getting
"gllt-edged" prices stimulated others in
that section, and the consequence is there
are number OF competitors in the mann.
featuring of "Giltedged'' butter.

good berry season. 1t comes to them in
the way OF ducats. The out fits in june
especially with the ladies and gents of de

.:'''.W are fast learning the civilization of
the cities. The sepulchal voice of the rae
man has entered our quiet burg, and day
by day the rasping sound of "rays;,
rags breaks upon the monotony of the
morning air, rich with the perfumes of
heliotropes, roses and honey suckles. The
air so delightful to the senses, is no hind.
