CONTRACTING BUTTER.


How 10 Secure = 0ood Average Price the
Year Round.
y There is scarcely any farm butter
maker having reputation for making
good article and living within few
miles OF an ordinary western country
town who cannot find a regular GUS
toner or customers who will take but
ter the year around at good price
which will be a good round averages
price for the year. says the Homestead.
All that is necessary TO make contract
ing of this kind easy il that the butter
maker establish record for having
everything nice and Glenn. and for pro-
ducing a quality That is both good and
uniform. The price that can be secured
in this way Is always considerably bet
ter than the ordinary way of selling TO
the grocer or store keeper. AS prac-
tical question. II is subject to only one
drawback. and that is from the side 81
the customer. We have known good
many town people who contracted for
their butter this way and very COM
mon complaint among them was that
they always get their butter II the
price to be paid was little better than
the stores and groceries were paying.
but when, with the change of the sea-
son, the price rose until the store keeper
or grocer was paying a little above the
agreed average price. the butter maker
very commonly reported that the cows
were failing and he did not have any
butter 10 deliver under the contract.
OF course. IL one practices this species
OF dishonesty he will find 1t difficult to
make contracts OF this kind for regular
delivery, and a reputation not only for
cleanliness and good uniform quality
is necessary, but also a reputation for
strictly carving out contracts as made.
