There seem to be two or three WAYS
In which the price of butter may be
restored to its normal level One is
the way which these New York boy
cotters propose by stopping the con-
sumption of butter. OF course, if 10
people out of every 81 will at once and
completely stop all use of milk. cream
and butter, then there'll be plenty for
the other 80, just as there used to be-
And down will go the price. But it's a
rather more than ordinarily difficult
job to get Is out of every 81 people
in the whole United States to agree to
such course, My own impression is
that, while it may be possible it is
mighty improbable that anything of
the sort will be done.
Another way would be for a few
thousand of the people who now
choose to live in town and buy but
ter to move into the country, keen
cows and sell butter. We don't any
Of us expect them to do that.
third way would be for those Of
us who keep cows to keep better cows,
so that 10 improved and reformed
bossies would give a good deal mora
milk than the 10 runts of 1870. 1t is
as clear as any Of the other things in
our arithmetic that, if 10 COWS in 1870
averaged IS pounds of butter a week,
and 10 COWS in 1910 averaged 81
pounds Of butter week, then there'd
be just as much butter apiece for the
consumers, all around, i'll 1910 as in
1870.

Of the cities tremendously when any
thing from the farms goes up in price.
When a gang Of foreign capitalists
join in a thievish conspiracy to hold
back the natural coffee crop of the
world, so as to double the price Of the
little they permit to be sold, we don't
hear Of any boycott against coffee.
When the sugar trust boosts the
price Of sugar to almost double its
former height, in order to collect from
consumers the amount Of the fines it
had been forced to pay the govern
ment, we didn't hear either Father or

Looking at it from the dairyrnan's
point OF view, so cent butter is not
wholly misfortune. He has been ac-
customed to selling the stuff at so
close margin that a little more gen
erous reward for his work is not apt
to be taken by him as an insult. At
the same time, it must be remembered
that the increased cost of feed and la
Dor make serious inroads on the in
creased price he gets. He isn't going
to grow rich in a week or a year, even
If ne could get all the consumer pays.
Nevertheless, everything considered.
II is more comfortable for all concern
ed, for the butter maker as we'll as
for the butter buyer, that prices should
Keep somewhere within reason. Not
only is 1t true that "a satisfied custom
er is the best advertisement" it is also
true that a satisfied customer is a gool
deal pleasanter to meet than one whu
thinks he is being robbed. We farmers

time, any more than other folks Nor
do We, as rule. want exorbitant prof
its.
Wee rather, the most Of US, have

at fairly remunerative prices than a
short yield, selling at figures which

we get as much money, all told from

mans for each 10 COWS; in 1910 there
were 81 folks for every 10 cows.
You'll observe from this that each
separate and individual COW has a
much bigger task to do now than 40
wears ago. Every 10 cows have got to
furnish milk and cream and butter for
81 people, instead Of for just 3S, as
then. Now it doesn't take a very
learned mathematician to figure out
that if you divide into 81 parts the
product which used to be divided into
3S, each separate piece will be smaller
than it used to be. There may be as
much to go round, but it has to go
round farther, among more.
Or, putting II another way, if every
one of the 3S insists upon having just
as much milk and cream and butter
now as formerly, it is perfectly clear
that the other 10 of the present 81 will
have to go without-or bid up mighty
high to get some away from the 80.
1t seems to be market truism, when
there's plenty of anything, enough to
go all around with something left
over, then the price is low. But when
there isn't enough of a thing to go
round and somebody has to go with
out or with only an insufficient sup
ply. then the one who wants it badly
enough to pay the biggest price will
get it. Which also sends the general
price up, Of course.

If we assume that the 10 cows Of the

IS did. And, of course, they'll all have
