UNIFORM DAIRY PRODUCTS.
1t Has Everything to Do with Profit
able Marketing of the
Output.

One who has not had experience in
selling butter or cheese can hardly
appreciate the importance of uniform
ity, says an Ohio correspondent of the
Farm and Home. When a trade be-
comes accustomed to certain brand Of
butter or cheese, it will not be satisfied
with different brand, though it may be
slightly better in some very important
particulars.
When one considers what a time a
commission merchant would have in
teaching so farmers wives how to
make a certain brand of butter OF
cheese, with a specific color, sailed
just so, packed in a uniform package.
etc. one begins TO understand why he
had rather buy the product of these
so diaries made up at a central plant.
The better price which creamery but
ter usually brings is not only because
of better average quality, but also
because of a greater uniformity and
larger sales.
