once doubter has had the opportunity
to see the process by which country
butter is made ready for market
One of the greatest inven:;f Ms and
discoveries now utilized is that by
which the same good country butter
which mother and grandmother boosted
as the best and purest in the land, is
now treated and renovated and i'm
purities removed which the good wO-
men never saw and didn't know was in
the product.
The government inspector sent out
from the AGRICULTURAL department who
supervises the inspection in the cream
cries, says of process, "It is free from
the various Objectionable odors and
tastes and every form of disease bac-
Gill. and while the flavor of fresh
creamery butter can never be repro
duced yet the product is wholesome,
clean. and absolutely safe.
When Good Butter Is Secured.
Here are some facts which the far
mer knows and with which every con-
sumner should be familiar. In the early
spring milk is plentiful. It is rich
with the fiavors of sweet blue grass
meadows. The best butter is made in
these months. The consumption of
that product is not great enough to
consume the supply. Every farmers
wife brings to her village grocer,
crooks, baskets and buckets full of
the yellow butter. 1t is colored usual
ly by natures method and the prop
critics of the vegetation which the
brindle bessie selects.
What becomes of this extra supply?
The small merchant at the cross
roads packs the butter in pals and
sends them to the large process or
packing plants. The butter not used
at the time of shipment is placed in
cold storage, to insure the choicest
June butter for the process factory
during the fall and winter. AS every
pail is received from Syracuse. Crest
line or Waubunsee as the case might
be. from a thousand little towns, each
shipment, each receptacle is carefully
or Objectionable butter is either ship
ped to the soap factories Or returned
to the shipper. The shipper who
thinks he can work off few pounds
of lard in a pail of butter or fills
pail half full of salt to make 1t weigh
heavy is dropped from the Continental
list and is notified of the rejection Of
his spurious shipment. All the good
country butter is put through the
process, stamped Process butter"
and is put on the market, a medium
priced, pure, wholesome product.

The Continental Creamery COM
pany of Topeka has possibly one of
the largest process plants in the west
and the process butter which leaves

Inspector Says Process Is Better
Than Country Butter.

Have you any good country butter?'
This question is as old as the wrinkles
in Mother Earth's face. Nearly every
man or woman with the responsibility
of providing the edibles for the family
board has either asked that question or
has heard some one else ask it.
Country butter; that deceptive rural
commodity. The words are suggestive
of widely diversified memory pictures,
according to each individuals expert
ence. AS many different varieties of
country butter are made as there are
women who WELD the churn dasher and
the butter paddle. Not single reader
of this article but will recall some time,
some where when they have scrutinized
the precipitous wall of a cake of coun-
try butter and noted the resemblance
between the oily loaf and the transverse
section of a marble cake The streaks
of different colored oils were plainly
visible and exposed the fact that the
ssa-aker of that pound had mixed two OF
more grades of butter, had work ad''
one batch more than another or worse
still. had substitute a goodly per ceat
of hogs fat for butter and proposed to
sell 1t at top market prices.
Sometimes good country butter is OBJ
tainable. However, there is risk to run

has wrought L wonderful change n the
dairy business and the production and
preparation of butter for human use. A
certain prejudice still remains with
some people regarding the treatment Of

Industrial Operation and Output Best
of the Year.

New York. Dec. 11.-Bradstreet's
says:
Colder weather and the nearer ap-
proach of the holidays have stimulated
trade quite generally throughout the
north and west, and even helped
southern trade, and especially in the
western part of the cotton states. As
the week advanced there seemed to be
evidence that the railroad strike was
losing its effectiveness as a trade de-
terrent, though the statistics of flour
output at large northwestern cities
show these ccnters to have been sharp
ly affected
In wholesale lines there is some
thing like a seasonable quieting show
now that the season of stock taking is
close at hand. A large although per-
haps not record volume of business is
Indicated, but there is very general
complaint that high costs restrict
profits.
There is no particular evidence of
slowing down in Industrial operations
and output, generally speaking, is at
the maximum of the year, but new
business in several lines show what is
termed seasonable quieting.

Since many fat ladies will not elm
