There is a period in the fall when
young stock isapt to Shrink before 60
ing into winter quarters. Ii one has
corn fodder, half cured in the shock,
it never can be more protitably used
than in keeping the young stock at
this critical period. Another reason
for feeding it at this time is that it is
more likely to damage if left in shock
to be fed during the winter, as the
stalks are weak, and it settles closer
to the ground than common shock
corn. Again, it is difficult to find it
and the weather just in the right con-
dition at the same time to make it
safe to pile it in large bulk in the barn.
1t is very apt to mould, because the
sap does not entirely dry out before
severe freezing weather.

not yet been proven. 1t is sure that
the latter makes much more of it, and

TO dealer here, with the request that
some large customer, like a hotel. he
secured that would contract for req
ular supply OF butter OF uniform make
and character. The butter arrived
was tested and rejected by reason OF
its lack OF butter flavor and charac-
ter. 1t tasted more like neutral lard
than butter. The manager protested
that his methods were all right. and
should produce the best results. He
visited Boston to investigate, and
found that the reform necessary was
to rlpen his cream before churning, in

With this simple change his butter now
commands ready sale at satisfactory

1t would seem that theripening proc

churning.
However confident a dairyman NAV

can only command the highest prices
by conforming to the tastes OF the
most fastidious consumers. If the
best trade demand the highest butter
flavor, which can only be secured
through the churning of ripened cream,
1t is folly to consign parcels of butter
made from sweet cream. Those who
are willing to pay fancy prices for
