MARKETING BUTTER.
The Stability Dependent Largely
Upon Its Appearance.

Experience has taught me that a
package to be attractive must be
clean, and the most conservative buy.
ers will often pick a lower grade Of
goods in a clean, neat package in
preference to a good article in an un-
attractive package, declares a writer
in Farm and Home. Buyers invari-
ably pick the best looking product
and pay a premium for it.
In packing butter for the retail or
grocer's trade, if made in sufficient
quantities, l use a good ash tub
which has previously been soaked in
a strong brine from Is to "a hours,
with the sides and bottom lined with
parchment paper and a cloth circle
on the top. After adding the cloth
circle, l always sift a thin layer of
salt on top of it, as it holds the
cloth in place and keeps the air from
the butter. The cover should be well
fastened on with small strips of tin.
If l were in position to cater to a
retail trade or direct to the con-
sumner, l would put up my butter in
either one or two-pound prints, wrap
ping them In parchment paper which
bore my own trade mark or design so
that the consumer would always
know my product as uniform quality
| and always clean.
One dealer has handled my goods
for IL years and has regular Gus
toners who refuse to accept any
other. Occasionally during the winter
months our market is not sufficient to
supply the demand and he has to fill
orders from other sources. Just as
often as he does, he has complaints
Always put a good article in an at
tractive package and you will have
no trouble in disposlng of it, but q
poor package means damaged con
tents, poor sales, dissatisfied Gus
toners and a loss to the producer.

WHAT IS IN MILK.
Much Is Known, But Much More Re-
mains to Be Found Out.

When milk is examined with the
microscope it is found that it is COM
posed largely of butter globules as
we'll as the various forms of casein.
An analysis of milk shows that chem
ically it contains water, fat, casein,
sugar, phosphate of lime, phosphate
of magnesia, phosphate of iron, chic
ride of potassium, chloride of sodium,
and some soda combined with Cream.
The milk sugar forms a very consider
able part of the whole and is some
times put at as much as four per cent.
Water constitutes from so to 81 per
cent. of the whole weight The kind
of milk furnished is controlled some
what by the age of the animal furnish
ing it, though the richness is due very
largely to the breeding of the COW;
that is. some cows produce offspring
that give rich milk rather than milk
of inferior quality. The various salts
that enter into milk probably consti-
tute more of factor in its digestibil-
ity than we now know, says Farmers
Review. In fact, there is much about
milk that has never been searched
out by scientists. For instance, what
value has the phosphate of iron, which
is present in milk only to the extent
of seven one-thousandths of one per
cent? 1t is probable that each of
these elements plays a considerable
role. There is the chloride of sodium
| (salt) 1t is present in normal milk
| to the extent of "a one-thousandths of
one per cent, and yet it seems to be
quite essential Cows have been de-
| prived of salt to the extent of greatly
reducing their milk flow, but just how
this was connected with the salt we
do not yet know.
There are many things in milk that
are worth finding out Some day we
may learn that the food of COWS must
have certain things in them that we
now deem of no particular nutritive
value. The study of milk has not YET
reached the stage where it yields data
to settle all the questions that seen
so difficult. One of the great things
as yet little studied is the sugar IL
milk, which often exceeds the fa
content Is there a close relation be
tween the fat and the sugar? A study
of the two in conjunction might yielC
some results of great commercial
value.

Tom oehiltree's Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree. that able con-
xyess raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled In NEW
York as the amuser Of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced IN a
thousand different directions, and was
81 good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count de Biscuit, down to
the Battery to show the sight OF New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as her
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet ISIS

snch moon in all Italy!" Count, "

A Horses Good Fortune.

A spiritualist came to our house
some time ago and claimed to be able
to locate our lost friends If we de-
sired. We had an old horse which
we had sold years ago and my mother
wanted to know where he was. Moth
er began:
I'VE had a very good friend who al
ways did all our work He passed
from us several years ago and the
last we heard of him was that he
was in Los Angeles. / would like
to know If he is still living"
The spiritualist made certain mo-
lions and knocked on the table and
then said:
Your friend is in Los Angeles and
is married to a rich young woman. -

Buy a Good Separator.

When a separator is to be pur,
chased, see that it is good one.
There are many cheap and worthless
machines on the market that Will
simply disgust the buyers when they
come to use them. The separators ad'
vertised in the Farmers Review are
not of this class, but are of the class
that will give satisfaction for many
years to come. The buyer of a sep
arator should remember that when a
separator is offered him at a price far
below what the regular companies can
make them for, something must be
the matter with it. The matter is
generally that the cheap machine is
manufactured at a very low cost out
of poor material and lacks eXactaess
in adjustment. Without that enact
ness a separator is of no value.

Did you ever stop to figure out how
much YOU lose by not knowing exact
" what your cows are doing from day

study hard as to why your herd gave
800 pounds of milk one night and
morning and only 273 pounds the sec

YOU ever add fresh COW to your herd
and find at the end of week that you
were getting only as much milk as
Won were before the fresh COW was
added. though you had fully counted
mon maintaining the original flow
and being better off by just one COW
milk? How often were you successful
in getting the herd back to its former
flow under these circumstances!

CAUSE OF GAS IN THE cHuRN.
An Explanation of This Peculiar Pie
nomenon in Handling Cream.

Frequently in churning gas will &C
cumulate after several rounds and
create a pressure inside sufficiently
great to produce a popping report at
the buttermilk outlet when the cork is
removed. This delights the children
and calls for an explanation such as
is requested in the following:
What causes the compressure of
air in a churn? l have often noticed
that after several turns of a barrel
churn one would find the cream oozing
out at the sides of the cover. In
taking out the cork at the bottom the
gas would escape with force"
The compressure of air is due to the
formation of gas produced by certain
bacteria. These organisms exist in
churning. The gas is a by-product,
simply speaking, and as it forms by
fermentation or other processes in.
duced by the germs, it is held in the
body of the cream, being unable tc
rise and escape on account of the den
| Slty OF the same.
The maximum amount Of gas is
naturally contained in the cream just
at churning time. A little is liberated
in stirring and pouring Cream that
has been agitated with paddle dur
ing the ripening process will otter
show bubbles on the surface. This Is
the same gas as is collected in the
churn. The greater the viscosity of the
cream the larger will be the bubble!
before they break, says Coleman''
Rural World The presence of this
phenomenon indicates that more clean
illness could be practiced The oh
lection TO the gas is that it is liabl'
to impart more or less of a strong o
undesirable flavor in cream Of first
class purity.

WHY Advertising PAYS.

"You will be pressed for money
oftener because you have no advertis-
ing bills to pay than because you
have" observes the Buffalo News.
big advertising bills and big bank
balances grow, together, out of the
same publicity campaigns" The mer-
chant who holds down his expense &C
count by cutting out advertising saves
money just the way the railroads
would if they should stop buying coal
for their locomotives. Without coal
the wheels won't turn; without pub
licity trade comes to standstill. 1t

JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
Nobleman Had Never Tried.

The earl of Surrey, afterward elev-
enth duke of Norfolk, who was a no
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and a leading member of the Beef
steak club, was so far from cleanly in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves of his fits of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent, by
the way-for the purpose Of wash
ing him. On these occasions they
stripped him as they would a corpse
and performed the needful additions
He was equally notorious for his
horror Of clean linen. One day, on
his complaining to Dudley North al

feet martyr to rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:

plunging and loot, and are tapping
their clipped wings in bootless rage
and impotence. The Interests" and the
money gamblers are hard put to it to
devise some new way of wheedling
coin from the western banks, and this
is something that the western finan-
ciers do not propose to tolerate. Sort
of another case of the singed cat keep
ing away from the oven.
Hit a. corteiyou.
! The Fnancier holds it is little less
than criminal for the banks in the
west anywhere west of the Hudson
river) to be allowed to have so much
money in their vaults, and says that
one reason why the large reserves
were allowed to accumulate was the
recent action of Secretary Cortelyou.
Mr. Corteiyou, when extending relief to
banks, placed government funEls where
he believed they would be of the most
benefit in facilitating the distribution
of crops and promoting the export
where he put the money. OF course, the
fact that the government kept this a
secret for some time-lOng enough in
fact to prevent raid on it-wasn't to
the liking of New York nor to the
F'inancier. Hence the howl Balances
must not be disturbed in this reck-
less fashion.
"A rush to obtain reserve money
from the east and unwillingness to let
go coin.'' says the Financier, caused
domestic exchange at the chief west
ern cities to grow tense and extraOr-
binary rates to be demanded for
drafts. The western banks had little or
spondents. Those who had funds and
could not defer payments were COM
PEELED to meet obligations at almost
prOhibitive rates"
The worthy and inspired organ of
plutocracy however. is able to find
other obstacles to full resumption. 1t
seems probable, adds the Fnancier,
that they will all be removed soon uL-
less some new disturbing influence
shall develop which will make it ne
cessary to delay still further the finan-
cial recuperation
New York Is Sore.
mo wonder New York is sore said
a Portland National banker today.
They perhaps have a right to be,
Judged by the methods they employed
before the financial furry broke here.
They grabbed and clutched for every
cent of western money they could get
hold of, and when they once had it
where it could be used to protect their
own shaking institutions, they refused
to let go. They would not pay in
coin and would specify no time when
they would meet their balances in cash
payment. It's all nonsense for any
newspaper of standing to declare that
