Most Of the surplus butter from the
farm cow in the South IL exchanged
for groceries at the country store. On
account of poor quality. unattractive
packages, and irregular supply, the
prices received for this butter are very
low. Bulletins explaining how the
housewife can make good butter and
how to put 1t into attractive packages
may be obtained without cost by APP
plying to the department of agricul-
ture, Washington. d. C.
Purchasers OF butter like to buy
from persons who can furnish 1t the
year round. Usually the market for
farm butter IL oversupplied during the
summer season. This IL because cows
generally freshen in the spring and
thus furnish q greater supply Of butter
throughout the summer. when grass
and green feed are abundant. than at
any other time Of the year. For this
reason the price Of butter IL lowest in
summer and highest in winter. To
take advantage Of these conditions
farmers should have their cows fresh
en- in the fall; this would tend to
eQualize the supply Of butter through
out the year.
In many cases no great effort IL
made to find q good market for the
farm butter. Too often nearby gro
Gerry stores are regarded as the only
market possibility. Boarding houses,
women's clubs, hotels and restau-
rants. and private families. not only
in the home towns but in surrounding
towns. should be canvassed and sam

way q good market for farm butter
may be secured II the butter is OF

the creamery. This furnishes con-
slant demand for cream, whether IN
large or small quantities. There are
three ways Of getting cream to the
creamery or shipping point:
1. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
2. Farmers In q community may
take turns in hauling their cream.
3. A man may be employed to haul
all the cream regularly and each farm
er may pay for this service according
to the amount Of cream he sells.
The third method IL on the same
principle az the rural free delivery OF
mail matter. Under this system the
hauler at regular intervals comes to
the farmers door. gets the cream, and
takes 1t to the creamery or shipping
point. The cream II weighed. sam

delivered to q central station for ship
ping to the creamery. Subroutes may
radiate from points on the main route
and thus cream can be collected from
