CARE IN DETAILS.
CLEANLINESS A NECESSITY
Lack Of Caution At Proper Time for
Cutting of Hay is One of These
Losses-A Word About the Dairy
Floor-Artistic Looking Pats Sell
Better.

Little leaks are the cause of every
failure in the dairy. The man who
ruins his business by some wild vent
ure can Justly lay all the blame to a
spirit of gambling. He has got the
disease called get rich quick" which
has been the ruin of thousands in this
money made age and has nothing to
DO with the business he is regularly
following. Whens it comes to a life
long occupation like that OF dairy1ng
we must make preparation for stop
ping all the LEAKS we can and tnuS
aau 10 the profit of our work.
The trouble with most of us Is that
we overlook, don't see. these small
leaks that make sucn- large total
Naen adued up at tne end OF the sea
son WORK. To begin with, most OI
Our daIrymen are not equipped for de-
toctIng Unese leaks. FOR instance, enc
has uILen heard mat nay cut when TOO
Ga mas lost considerable portion OF
It's feeding nuUr1menU-tnat Is, when
me noIses or COWS eat it they do not
get as mucn benefit from 1t as ii 1t
had Deen cut several days sooner.
But the FARMER answers it is much
harder to cure it in half ripe stage,
Win risk OF loss from ram, and, again,
il he sells 1t ne gets more because 1t
weighs more. TINS first excuse is no
excuse at ali, Tor without trouble you
cannot make money. 1t is this lodging
trouble that keeps many, if not most
farmers, poor all their LYes. II you
have to feed your hay on the farm,
tnen III order to get tne greatest In
come from it you should have it in the
very best condition, and the only way
to 40 that is to take more trouble with
il, put it in smaller cocks, so it Will
cure more rapidly, work little nard-
er and faster to avoid the rain. and
you many times save a great deal
crop.
A dirty bucket VIII injure the quality
of the milk and affect inJurIOusIy the
butter made from that milk, no
matter how carefully the work
is done subsequently. DO not let Ill
get into it and keep it cold enough to
make good butter and then you have
mastered the situation. One thing
about the milk room-have the floor
on the ground and made of cement,
Tor you are sure to spill more or less
milk or cream that will spoil and
faint the air of the room, but if the
floor - made of cement and you wipe
il up before it dries no damage is done.
If the floor is wood you cannot wipe
or wash the oil out of the wood
though painting it will help.
II you have been in the habit of mar
keting your butter in long rolls Or
packing it in jars or cans, you will be
astonished how much better it will sell
# you make it into pretty prints wrap
ped in parchment paper. 1t will on an
average sell for 3 cents more pound
and sell faster if made to suit the
fancy of the buyer. The grocer likes
to handle pretty looking pats and wild
recommend it before a better article,
for he knows how lady buyers judge
by the looks of things rather than the
taste.
Have your own stamp, so that those
who like the butter will know how 20
tell it when they come for more; then
is looks as if you were ready to guar
antee the article and were therefore
sure it was good.
