In June, July. August, September and
October, 1889. packed twelve barrels Of
my surplus butter Butter made by
farm dairy sold In our western markets
At eight TO ten contsa pound. Times
were hard, and number " my Gus
TONERS refused 20 pay my usual price,
twenty-five cents n pound. The result
was refused to sell for less and packed
Il In new pork barrels In about D.
pound rolls. worked with Eliotts parch-
ment paper kept It covered with
strong brine. | have PIT down the past
season seven barrels of surplus butter IN
the same way. Two months ago ! sold
number II barrels 10 dealer In Great
Falls. Nor d.. at twenty cents pound,
wholesale, delivered az my railroad sta.
ton. aud few days ago received let

A portion Of this butter was IN tho
brine sixteen or seventeen month.. that

made Ia 1850. aud could not detect any

dairymen Of putting down butler that
will keep sweet aud sound or without
becoming rancid Tor that length OF
time, | would like 10 know II.
wo also put down three barrels u
granular butter IN August last, and
handled II this wnyi We lined the bar.

the barrel within four inches of the top,
put on u cover that would Zip inside the
barrel. put on a weight. and filled the

would float an egg, aud Tor tho last

Tho fresh buitornilk aside After tho
butter WIS washed aud removed from the
thufn, the buitcrmilk was put back VA
the chnrn, and about forty pounds Of
the granular butter was taken from tho
barrels and put into the ohurn. and the
ohurn turned gently around for the space
OF ono or two minutes, the butiermilk

and 10 my surprise II was just a. fresh
a. the day u was frst made. and had 10
BE- fesalted, and when worked over Il
would tho a sharp judge 10 detect that
Il was not fresh made butter, aud only
only one Of my customers said sho did
not think that tho last jar of butter was
quite up 10 my general STANDARD.
Hero are two ways OF putting down
butter that arc both safe and suro "
done prolrrly. 20 that farm Diaries necd
not flood the markets In the summer
time and sell their butter at eight aud
ten cents pound. OF the two ways Of
putting II down Tor home trade. OF
whore butter has TO DO shipped n shor,
distance. although q little morn trouble
reworking, prefer putting It down In
the granular form, for the reason that
the name packed butter usually knocks
OIL hyo cents pound. although the
packed butter may DO Just as good or
better than winter made butter.
In commenting ON the above, A. L.
Crosby. the veteran dairy authority.
says Ia u subsequent issue OF Tho Farm
.ri | think readers should cut out Mr.
PARIS article on packing butter aud
paste IL In their dairics for usa next
summer. believe he has hit upon tho
best way to pack butter. especially that
OF packing IL In the granular state
Those who do not make butter on 40
large scale rs Mr.. Parr can use small
er vessels TO pack la. Ishould think
gallon glass fruit jars would answer tho
purpose admirably 10 pack butter for
family use. There Is no profit In selling
butter at from six cents TO ten cents u
pound, aud Mr.. parr shows how better
prices can be- secured Mt very little cx-
pcnsc. and hope that those who In
summer complain that dairying doesn't
pay ON account OF low prices will try
Mr.. PARIS plan. Don't be afraid that
every one will try Il aud 80 lower winter
prices, for they won't, Il will only be- a
few OF the thinking ones that will adop,
tho best way Of doing business. -Gcongu
