HOME BUTTER MAKING is
UNPROFITABE FOR FARMERS

Farm butter making Is losing
proposition. In the opinion Of n. 10,
Olson, Of the department Of dairy
husbandry In the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"The price paid for farm butter Is
about ten cents below market price
for butter fat in first grade cream
he says. "The ogerrun obtained or
dinarlly on the farm Is very slight,
seldom II ever going above 10 per
cent
Considering these facts, on 100
pounds Of butter fat farmer would
receive ut the present time 90 cents
per pound. or $62 The country but
ter made from this would not be
over i15 pounds and would sell to
the grocer for 90 cents per pound of
SOL. rs. making loss Of over $40
"Farm butter making pays only
when the farmer makes a high class
product and sells direct to the con
sumner at price equal 70 that which
IL received for the best grades Of
creamery butter
"The grocer loses money on the
country butter which he takes in ex-
change for trade, since much Of It
is OF such poor quality as to neces-
state its sale ak packing stock for
the manufacture OF renovated or pro-
cess butter"

GAVE SOME SOUND ADVICE.
Lecture to Merchants Urged Better
Business Methods.

A vigorous plea for system as tn
foundation for success In business
was made last evening before a larg'
gathering Of merchants and business
men In the Seelye by w. +. Brennan
OF Dayton. Ohio. representing the
National Cash Register Company. Ac
comparing the lecture was the

"guesses" about the various pro
cesses OF his business is almost GER
tain to be more or less Of failure
and sure to be the first to go to the
wall In time Of stress.
The lecture and picture were ar
ranged by the business Mems AS
eociatlon. c. NJ larger introduced
the SPEAKER. Mr.. Brennan covered
methods Of advertising salesman
ship and many Of the othcr points
of the best modern business practice.
Speaking Of advertising, he sitd
that newspaper advertising is tho
most effective and cheapest form Of
which the merchant coud take adj
vantage In preparing the news
paper ads,s Mr.. Brennan suggested
that the merchants display orlgina-
lily. They should not merely give a
disconnected list Of what they had
20 sell. but should arrange their mat
ter In thoughtful manner. accom-
panied by suitable cuts. lie criti-
cized the use Of unnecessary large
words. The simple. direct method
was by far the best.
MANY merchants advertise once
or twice and then say II doesn't pay
This is absolutely wrong. They should
do continuous advertising and they
Will soon find out that 1t DOES pay. "
1.-THE difference between the up-to
date and the out Of date merchant,
he said in closing, "is that the up-to-
date merchant knows all about his
business and the out Of date mer-
chant only guesses. He guesses what
stock he has on hand. he guesscs
which Of his clerks are honest hel
guesses about his selling price ana
guesses about the cost of doing bust
ness. Consequently there are thou
sands Of failures in the business
world every year"
Mr. Brennan called at the Re
Hector office and compllmented the
paper on the attractive and modern
setting Of It's advertising, which he
said was exceptionally well done.
