The quality of the salt has much to

Sometimes butter is worked until

Gilt edge butter cannot be made

One advantage with well managed
creamery is, that it provides an outlet
for all of the milk that can be produced

Where vegetables in the market are
selected according to their size OF
cheapness in bulk, the producer will
plant with reference to the bulk which
can be produced. The number OF
bushels or pounds or tons to the acre
which can be produced is the main
question he asks. Under these Condi-
tons, all improvements must be made
in the direction of quantity.
They are, however, different quail
ties in almost all classes of Vege-
tables This variation of quality runs
through the whole line of products of
the truck patch from the asparagus
to the celery, and from the potato to
the tomato. The squashos and the
melons are subject to the same differ
ence III quality.
Strawberries are notably subject 10
the mistake of substituting quantity
for quality. So much is this the case,
that some of the very largest and most
salable varieties have almost lost the
peculiar aroma and luscious flavor OF
the true strawberry; and yet they are
salable on account of their size. To
matocs and some classes of melons
have met the same fate, Some of the
sQuashes and sweet pumpkins have lost
in flavor just rs they have gained in
size
The object of this article is to draw
the attention of gardeners who wish Il
Ia a,
to the fact that the best Will always be
selected by the best customers if Their
attention is once called to The fact that
quality is better than quantity.
The gardener who will bring to mar
ket the most tender asparagus, the
smoothest, most tender and sweetest
beets, the most crispy and freshest
lettuce, the best favored and most
crispy celery, will soon be known as a
prosperous man, and will have no
trouble in selling what he brings at
fair prices. He will hold his customers
for all the different classes OF vege-
tables offered, during the whole season.
Good goods, we'll prepared, will al
ways outsell the coarser and rougher
varieties, and good vegetables pat up
neatly will always sell best. The eye
must be pleased as we'll rs the taste,
for these senses are closely related,
when substantials or delicacies are Sc
lected for the table. In many cities
the vegetable markets have few lead
ing gardeners who are always on the
alert to introduce the best class of veg
etables, and to cater to the tastes OF
their best customers.
These careful gardeners not only
coon gain reputation for supplying
the best vegetables, but they become
means of raising the standard Of all
vegetables offered for sale. The truck
gardener will always study to supply
the demands of his customers; but he
can at the same time create demands
by carefully selecting and cultivating
the vegetables he offers IL he Is sure
OF the superior quality of what he has
for sale he should inform his GUS
toners, and introduce his better goods:
this will at last be 10 the advantage OF

house was the old Roach homestead,
two blocks from the stage road, and

The l'AymCuts kept strictly TO
themselves They had rlenty of money
at all times, spent it literally and paid
their bills with Il promptness which
won the regard of the villagers, who,
nevertheless, viewed them with much
curiosity. They received no visitors,
and seldom went away from the hou3e.

spread through the village that his
death was the result of dclrium tre-
