the Importance of proper atten-
ton to this matter. says Dairy
World. In the first place. dairy
men catering to foreign sup
ply need one ounce of salt to one pound
OF butter. with parchment paper on top
instead of cloth. Then. too, the tubs
should be well soaked and coat of
salt rubbed on the inside before pack
ing the butter. This will prevent the
butter from moulding. This is very
important part df the work OF prepar-
Ing butter for market. There have
been several thousand boxes of butter
shipped from our market, which have
been received there with great favor.
These boxes no ID fifty-six pounds OF
butter net. They are made of white
wood and lined with parchment paper.
This butter sells for better prices than
when packed in tubs, and we would ad-
wise all creameries to give the matter
of packing butter for foreign shipment
careful attention, and be ready to use
them at any time the foreign market
Is in shape to nay us as much as our
own market, so that we can dispose OF
our surplus butter. If our surplus but
ter had been packed in boxes this sea-
son, ii would have sold in the foreign
market for more money than 1t will
ever sell for here, after losing the stor-
age and interest and, at the same time,
we should have gained some favor with
the foreign market by letting them
know that we have fine butter here as
well as Australia II has been our
practice to ship the poorest butter. In
this way we have hurt our credit as a
butter producing country. Now that
we have established so many creamer-
les there is less of the low grades of
butter and more of the high grades
than we can consume at home. II Is
very plain to be seen that it Is our
duty to cater to- the wishes OF the peo-
pie upon whom we are dependent to
use our surplus butter, and in order to
do this we must give them the style
OF package they require, as well as salt
ing and coloring to their wants. One
OF our neighborA has just returned from
Liverpool, and be tells me he has seen
the retailer try to sell tub butter and
the buyer would not look at 1t, but
must have his butter from the square
box. The same butter would sell at
retail for two cents a pound more cut
from the box than from the tub Now,
with these facts in view, is 1t not worth
our careful attention to try and build
up trade for cur surplus butter, which
the writer is satisfied is going to be
increased year by year. AS the dairy
business is still in its infancy in this
country.

Eva ding Responsibility.

Constantinople, June Acting up
on the advice of Izzet Bev, the Sultan
is leaving the peace negotiations who'll
ly in the hands of his ministers, thus
evading personal responsibility and
placing himself in position to sacri-
flee them to popular indignation if ne
cessary.
1t is reported that the palace party
has entered into extensive stock ex-
change operations on the theory that
the markets will show rise as the
prospect of peace increases. The OF
toman ambassador at St Petersburg
has informed the Porte that Count
Muravieff, the Russian Foreign Minis
ter, told him he personally objected to
Russian intervention on behalf OF
Greece, and had counteracted the fem
mime intrigues started with that OBJ
ject, but the holy synod induced the
Gear to intervene.
1t is reported that armed Bulgarian
bands have crossed the frontier near
Kossona and a large force of troops
has been sent to that point.

Breeding Dairy Cows,

writer in Dakota Farmer gives this
advice:
l. Select the best cows in your herd,
or that you can buy, to keep, and dis
pose of the others.
2. The best COW for the dairy is the
cne that produces the greatest amount
OF butter fat in year (for food con-
sumed) when being rightly fed.
3. 10 renew or Increase your herd
raise the 'heifer calves from your best
COWS.
A. Test your COWS by weighing the
milk of each COW for a year and testing
1t occasionally with the Babcock milk
tester, and know how much butter tat
each one does produce.
3. Use the best dairy bred sire you
can get; one, If possible, that has a
long line Of ancestors that have been
first-class dairy animals.
6. Keep record OF the time when
the cows are bred and have no guess
work about the time OF calying.
Z, 1t is neither profitable nor ncces-
sary for cow to go dry more than
four to six weeks.
.. The udder should receive prompt
attention. An obstacle may be re-
moved from the teat the first hour, that
might battle science later.
8, After separating the calf from its
mother feed the natural milk as soon
as drawn, for week or ten days.
10. Don't milk the udder out clean
until the fourth day after calving.
This will often prevent a chill, which
often produces milk fever.

Long Rows.-The possible gain In
time of cultivation due to the length
ening of rows is greater than any sup
pose who have not tested the matter.
BY the watch find that when rows are
eighty rods long an acre is cultivated
in three-fourths of the time required
for cultiyating in rows thirty rods long.
Long rows make work easier for man
and team. II we would compete with
the west we mdst plan for long. mar
row fields instead of the little square
ones usually seen. The tilling OF open
bitches and abandonment of useless
fences makes this possible on a major
ity of farms. Experience has taught
me that the saving of money due to re-
moval OF fences was truly not needed.
the gain from cultivation of fence-rows
and the gain in rapidity of cultivation
where rows are long, amount in the ag-
gregate to q nice sum OF money-a sum
that would materially increase incomes
for thousands if the plan suggested
were adOpted.-Ex.

Profitable Cows Which is the most
profitable COW to keep? 1t is the COW
that produces the most at the least
cost. In the ninety days test at the
worlds fair the best COW cleared q
profit of over $73 and the poorest a
profit of only $24. Turning now to the
food account, we find that the cost OF
food in both cases was practically the
same, yet one cow had the ability to
make three times the profit upon prac-
tical1y the same food. There are cows
in every herd that have this ability;
find them out. In these days OF keen
competition we must reduce the cost
OF production. and this aspect Of the
question should always be taken into
consideration.-Ex.
