The Country Butter Buyer.

We refer 10 the country grocer who
buys for goods the butter made by his
customers. He is frequently at the
mercy Of the poorest butter makers in
his township. They can't sell their
butter to private customers or to the
commission houses; hence it turns up
III the grocery. The grocer pays ten
or twelve cents pound for it. and
that is frequently more than it is worth
as the same butter if sent to a city
would be graded as -grease." Does the
grocer tell the farmer his butter is not
goode Far from it: he can't afford tc
lose customer. Often he gives the
butter word or two of praise, which
conyinces the farmer that his wife is
not to be beaten as a butter maker. II

set himself up as a judge over the but
