SELL NOTHING BUT THE BEST

If farmers will make it rule to send
only the best to the market they will
get more money for one-half Of the
crop when prices are low than for the
whole. When the markets are well
supplied only the best will sell. Not
only should the articles be selected.
but they should be uniform-of the
same quality-at the bottom of the bas-
ket as at the top. Instead of reducing
the price of potatoes by sending the
very small ones to market, keep those
that are unstable, feed them on the
farm and they will then be more val
uable.

The two great scourges in calf rear

Investigation has proved, first, that
the disease is located in districts; and,
second, that it is more prevalent where
sanitary conditions are not perfect:
third, that the disease is contracted
through allowing the infectious matter
OF the place when the calf is dropped
TO come into contact with the navel of
the young calf, through which it finds
Its way into the circulation of the ami

The remedy is to have the place for
the young calf carefully cleansed and

MAKE BUTTER PEOPLE WANT

Good butter should be composed of
the following points:
Flavor, As points; grain, rs points;
color, Is points; salt, 10 points; pack
age. 5 points.
You will notice that flavor gets AZ
points, being nearly half the 100 points
We want our butter to have sweet
flavor; that makes us want to eat
butter and bread instead of bread and
butter.
Perfect grain gets 25 points. 1t
should have a waxy softness, yet not
salvy or greasy. 1t must be solid in
body and have no excess of casein or
water.
The color should be uniform and
bright, not too pale. yet not too highly
colored, while the salt should be evenly
distributed and thoroughly dissolved
The package should be neat and
clean, using good grade Of paper for
wrapping.
We should cater to the trade. If we
are making for a certain market, make
what that market demands
If making for special customers. en-
deavor to suit their tastes in every par
ticular.
This is important for while one Gus
toner likes a full-flayored butter, an
other likes a mild one.
| One likes the butter pale another
highly colored; one likes very little salt
another quite a quantity.
| 1t is by catering to these likes and
dislikes that our butter will be in de-
mand and we shall receive a good price
fer it.--Belle Miller. Ontario.
