Butter Put Up in Attractive Packages
Always Sells Well.
People who buy butter place greater
stress upon the appearance of the pack
age as it comes from the hands of the
dairyman than many of us are inclined
to think.
For many years it was the fortune OF
the writer to buy the butter used in his
household. Such an experience will
soon convince one of the value of neat.
ness in butter-making. We, indeed, SUI
fered many things from those who Of
fered us their wares. Poor tubs and
pails, with brine leaking through the
stained and discolored slaves; half
sailed and over-salted goods; under.
colored and over-colored butter; butter
fresh and butter old and altogether I'M
pleasant to look upon-an these and
more were presented to us for pur-
chase.
When we came on the farm we deter
mined to make the best butter we could.
and offer it for sale only in the most
attractive form possible. My wife had
the advantage of having been born on
a farm, and, further, of having had for
a mother an excellent butter-maker;
and our goods were always good. But
ter made in the summer would stand
until the next spring without injury.
We used the very best oak tubs and
took every possible pains to have ou1
butter sailed properly.
Recently we have procured a butter
carrier with trays, etc., and a fine print.
Butter put up in this way presents a
charming appearance. The other day /
offered a fine line put up in this way to
the city trade. There was but one COM
ment: THAT looks fine, anyway"
or isn't that lovely butter!" It took
me but short time to dispose of all /
had on hand and at something above
the market price. One man took lot
without tasting or even smelling it; but
he had had some before and knew what
it was.
This method of putting up butter we
continued until June, when we began to
put it down in tubs for storing until
next fall.
It is not strange to me that so much
butter is sold at low figure when see
how absolutely inferior much of it is.
There would be decided improvement
all around if everyone used the greatest
possible care from milking to market
ing to do their work thoroughly and
WELL. If those who do not exercise this
care could be compelled to buy for
year or two believe their eyes would
then be opened to the great value OF
neatness in the dairy.-E. L. Vincent,
in Western Rural.
