Gilt Edge Butter.

Give your product a definite name by
which it may become advertised and
known. says The American Agricultur-
list. Make the one pound piece of but
ter into two half pound stamps, as is
usual, wrap il oil paper and then in
heavier white paper on which is print
ed in gold letters in script type "Gilt
edge butter" followed by the makers
name. On the opposite side place the
same with any further remarks that
will be explanatory and convincing to
the purchaser who seeks a fine grade
Of butter and is willing to pay a fair
price for it as against low price for
inferior or average.
Appearances may be deceitful, but
one thing is certain-good appearance
gives the possessor of it a chance in
the world, and that is all merit asks.
There is always room for fine, uniform
butter. and if it is named and placed on
the market right the demand will grow
and become permanent. It pays to
make good butter, but whether or not
the full value is received depends to a
certain extent on how it is put up.
The taste of a discriminating public
has to be considered in more senses
than one.

Timely attention to oleomargarine
frauds in England is called by The
Dairy World. London, In the following:
1t is generally agreed that the suppress
sion of the margarine frauds which are
so rife is one of the first and most i'm
portant works which should be under
taken on behalf of the butter industry.
Strong representations have already
been made about this matter, but it Is
the duty of every one interested to
keep pressing it on until definite action
is taken. We fear the great damage
done by these frauds is not fully real
lied by many makers in the country, or
they would show a far keener interest
in the subject than many Of them now
seem to do.
By united and concerted action he
tween the English and Irish boards Of
agriculture, assisted by the consumers
in England and producers here, it
should not be difficult to check if not
altogether stop the fraud now so large
ly practiced. OF course the local au-
thorities have to be reckoned with. In
many places they do all they possibly
can in the matter, in others they alto
gether fail in their duty. One Of the
most important of the agriculture and
industries act QrelanO is the power
which the department has to trace up
cOnSignmentS of margarine at ports
and railways, inspect railway company
and manufacturers books and trace
each consignment to it's destination.
With this power fully availed Of the
department can assist those local au-
thorities who are willing and compel
those who are unwilling or careless to
effectually enforce the food and drugs
and margarine acts.

HOW DAIRYING PAYS.
Many Ways In Which the Industry
Is q Good Thing

many ways In Which the Industry
Is a Good Thing.
First and foremost. dairying pays in
the superior education and trimming 1t
brings to the mind of the farmer, SAYS
HOards Dairyman. No other class of
farmers meet as often in convention or
have as much literature devoted to
their interests and progress.
Second. it pays in it's splendid promo
ton of the fertility of the farm Here
is the bank we draw on in every emer-
gency. So many farmers in many Sec
tons are living with starved minds
and a starved soil. Go into any dairy
section and note the different appear
ance of the farm buildings, the better
crops and the appearance of intelli-
gence among the farmers All these
results are the natural effect of the
business.
Third, it pays in it's forced training
of farmers in a study of cattle The
man who has dairy Of 90 to 40 COWS
can see before a great while the con-
slant necessity for the exercise of a
thorough, sound judgment concerning
dairy cattle. He will have to acquire
this judgment If ne makes any profit
with COWS, and in acquiring it he will
become broader man every way
Fourth, it pays in larger and stead
Ter yearly cash revenue than is achiev-
Led by almost any other branch of
farming. 1t keeps the man on the
farm, holds him down and makes him
attend to his business and consequent
ly makes a business man of him.
Let any man embark in dairying and
follow out the leadings of the business,
and we will see that man grow in
wealth and intellect. his farm increase
in fertility.
There will be a growth Of nice farm
buildings, and, last but not least, the
value of farms in the market is always
greatest in we'll developed dairy dis
tricts.
Every farmer ought to understand
that there is the greatest of vitality in
the dairy business. For 80 years men
have been prophesying that it would
be overdone and bring ruin on those
who embarked in it.
Evidently 1t pays all around, for the
most prosperous farmers in the United
States and Canada are the dairy farm

BEST COWS FOR BUTTER
Experiments Favor the Spare and
Angular Form.
Jewel Stoves are sold

Experiments Favor the Spare and
Angular Form.
The cost of production of butter from
COWS spare and angular and COWS car
rying considerable flesh in other
words, dual purpose cOws-is greatly
in favor of the former, says The Amer
lean Agriculturist. Five years of care
full investigation of this subject by the
Minnesota experiment Station shows
that in every instance the COW that
carries the least flesh charges the least
for butter and just in so far as one
COW was little smoother and plumper
than the other would her butter prod
uct cost more than the other. It should
be borne in mind that the results are
from accumulated testimony and show
that not only for a day, week or u
month, but during her entire lifetime,
the spare COW is better.
Taking the average between the two
types of cows in which grade Short
horns represent the dual purpose COWS,
six of these produced an average Of
SOFT pounds of milk per year. which
gave 900 pounds of butter at a cost of
1888 cents per pound. The total aver
age cost of feed was $1,000 per head
and the net return $1O.37. The spare
and angular cow represented by six
Guernseys and Jerseys and grade
Holstein produced an average Of $500
pounds of milk, which made 446
pounds of butter at cost of S.43 cents
per pound The average cost of FOOD
consumed was $3.50 per head and the
net return $3S.11.
The most profitable dual purpose cow
produced 274 pounds Of butter at cost
of 12.14 cents per pound and profit OF
$3.50. The least profitable gave 1856
pounds of butter at a cost of 14.76
cents per pound and netted $5.S1 for
the year. The greatest amount of but
ter was produced by a grade Holstein
viz, $50 pounds from II, 726 pounds Of
milk and at cost of 1861 cents per
pound. She ate $55.23 worth Of food,
or nearly twice as much as the dual
purpose COWS, but gave net return Of
$500. The most profitable COW of the
lot was a Jersey which consumed but
$50 worth of feed and produced 7,914
pounds of milk from which was made
1913 pounds of butter at a cost Of Cos
cents per pound, giving a net return
for the year of $54.45. She was close
~ followed by a JerseyGuernsey
crossbred that produced 512 pounds Of
butter from S,797 pounds Of milk at a
cost Of CSC cents per pound. She con-
sumed $35.15 worth of feed and re-
turned $53.31 profit.

found on the farm, says Hoard's Dali
lyman. The farmer has the best inten
lions Of handling the bull SO that he
will be in no danger, but as familiarity
always breeds contempt of danger it is
soon assumed that the bull is perfectly
safe. Many men have assumed this
once too often. with death or serious
injury as the result. Much of this dan
ger could be obviated if the animal had
systematic exercise either in a tread
power or harness, as shown in the ac-
cOmpanYing picture.

Cod Liver Oil For Calves.

Many dairymen who grow calves are
accustomed to use a little oil meal as
an addition to the skimmilk to replace
the butter fat taken out in skimming
or separating milk, but in New Zea-
land they supply the fat by using cod
liver oil. They give each calf about
two ounces a day from the time they
begin using skimmilk for about 80
days. when they think the calf no Ion
ger needs milk, and they stop it. The
crude oil costs them rs cents gallon,
and there are 100 ounces in a gallon, so
that 1t adds about cent day to the
costs but about 40 to so cents gallon

SteriIfzfnr Milk by Electricity

A scientist in Vienna claims to have
discovered that a very moderate cur
rent of electricity will sterilize milk by
destroying all the bacteria in it. If
this is true we fear the results would
not be just what the dairyman or the
consumers want In this country. Some
of the bacteria are useful ia giving but
ter it's rich, nutty flavor, and they
would probably be destroyed with the
others. People in this country do not
want a pure, tasteless fat to use as
butter, but want the aroma and flavor
that grades our best butter as first
class where it is known.
