We Dictate Prices

Oar notion, then, of store, is store
to draw the trade Of the entire country
"a store that has what you want, and
sells it as you want to buy-a store
where prices are all marked out in PLAIN
FIGUREs-at prices that cannot be met
by any competition; at prices that
speak for themselves, and prices are the
test of store.
Our notion of store goes further.
We could tell you of our buyers. 4
buyer must know his goods. That means
more than you think. He must get the
best in the world for the money. How
can he pick out the best without knowing
all? He musc choose for all sorts of peo-
pie, uses and tastes. Whoever his Gus
toner, he must he suited; suited better
than he knows how to suit himself. We
have such buyer. \ buyer who buys
from one years end to the other-does
nothing but looks and sees, selects and
buys. Upon our buyer depends our
prices, and prices are the test in a store.

IN determining tie quantity of milk
something else than cream should 10
considered. The total percentage of
solids may be large, yet the fat may be
of only a small proportion, though the
real nutritive elements may be in excess
as compared with milk of inferior
quality. Hence, milk is often consi-
dered poor because cream may be lack
ing, though it may contain larger pro-
portion of solids than that rich in cream.
In test with five cows of the same
breed the total solids in the milk varied
from 1852 per cent. to 1895 per cent,
yet the ash from the milk Of one con.
tanning IL IL per cent. was more than
double that from the milk containing
the largest percentage of solid matter.
One of the COWS gave 1912 per cent. of
solid matter, with 2.44 per cent. OF fat,
while another giving milk yielding
l4.52 per cent. of solid matter gave only
1.69 per cent. of fat. This variation
nay be only for a day. As before
stated, the quality may be altered by
the character OF the feed. 1t demon
strates, however, that some other STAN
dard must lie adopted for estimating the
value of milk than quantity before the
producer can secure just and fair pro-
flt in proportion to his outlay.

FARM NOTES.

How TO MAKE BUTTER CONE IN
WINTER. There is one way which
those who have tried it pronounce in
fallible. The plan may be come at in
various ways, but the essential part of
it is the same. 1t is this. While the
milk is yet fresh, seald it gently, Just
enough TO make it look ''crinkly," one
who has tried it says. There seems to
be something in this process that makes
the butter come. Do not let the milk
stand till it sours. before skimming.
II you do the butter will be bitter and
full of white fakes. Churn at least
twice week in winter, whether you
have little or much cream. 1t may be
warmed and soured by very simple
process, when one thinks how to do it.
Fill a tin can with boiling water, cork
it tight and sink it into your cream
jar. That will do the business. Be
sure and get dairy thermometer, if
you have not one already. Bring the
cream TO a temperature Of 60 to 62 degs.
with the hot water can. Plunge your
Thermometer into 1T to test when 1t Is
exactly right When 1t is, churn.
Your butter will come speedily, and 1t
win he firm and sweet. If your cows
are fed properly it will be yellow, too.
Try this plan.

NESTS FOR SITTING HENs.-MIs-
takes are made with the nests of sitting
hens. Too many are made that are so
small that the hen is unable 10 perform
her duties of sitting down upon and
stirring the eggs without smashing one
or two. A roomy nest should be sup
plied-not too large-having a bottom
of rather soft material resting on dirt,
with plenty of straw well packed
about the sides. Such nest, especially
early in the season, is very desirable,
retaining as it does the heat for much
longer time than a carelesSly made nest
of loose hay in box. The best recep-
tacle for a rest where one has plenty OF
room is an ordinary -four barrel. Cut
in the side hole large enough for one
hen to pass through, and then hinge a
small door to open and shut at pleasure.
The advantage of such a nest is that
nothing can be more secluded. There
are no draughts of cold air sucking
through the cracks into the nests.
They are easily inspected if not made
too deep, and there is ample space for
any hen within the barrel. \ door pre-
vents the hen from looking out much
better than a wire screen. A hen that
cannot see all that IS going on outside
is less restless.

ONE of the most valuable adjuu

ONE of the most valuable adjunc.s
to the breakfast table during the spring
season is water ereSs. In England it is
the regular accompaniment Of the bread
aud butter. or toast, and fresh laid
egg. of which the simple breakfast in
spring and summer is composed. 1t is
sometimes complained that water-cress
in this country is not so eatable as in
England, because not SO tender and
pungent. But where little care is
taken, where the conditions Of growth
are made as nearly as possible like those
which exist in England, it will be found
equally good, and wonderfully freshen-
ing to the blood and the iaded appe-
tite. 1t is always a good plan to re-
duce the amount of meat with the ap
proach of warm weather, and introduce
into the bill of fare all the young and
fresh growth possible, water-cress, plan
ard as salad, garden rhubarb, lettuce
and small onions, which are valuable
for those who can eat them.
