High Priced Butter.


Mr.. A. w. CHEEvER, Editor N. E.
Farmer, owns fine dairy and gets
high price for fancy prints. In an edi-
torial Nov. I'd, he said, 1.-THE Perfected
Butter Color made by Wells, Richard
son & Co., we have used for several
years, and have found nothing equaling
it, although we have tested about every
thing of the kind made in this or the
Old country. It is the strongest, clean
est, purest and cheapest butter coloring
we have ever found, and for all we can
ses, it is absolutely perfect. 1t should
entirely supercede carrots fer coloring
butter, and also all the preparations Of
Annatto." Farmers, if your butter is
white, do not fail to try this splendid
preparation. For full particulars in

A NEEDED IMPRovEMENT.-The City Coun-
Gil at its last meeting adopted the suggestion oil
the chairman of the Committee on Streets to
erect q stone wall on the south side of Main
street, northeast of the residence of NJ. P. Funk
houser. This portion Of Main street leading to
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind Institution
has long been a disgrace to the city, and we
are glad that it is now being put in better con-
dition. There are number Of other places in
the city which need the attention of the Street
Committee, but the inadequacy of the appro-
priation made by the Council last year has
tied up the hands of the committee, and it has
been compelled to confine itselfto the ordinary
expenditures of keeping the streets in their
present condition,
