AS parcel-post shipments of butter

highly desirable that every possible

Particularly is this true of farm-made
butter, because conditions affecting

How to Cut Roses.

There is right and a wrong way
to cut roses. The choice of tie latter
may seriously injure the blossom
producing properties of the plants, it
is pointed out by specialists OF the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. This
applies particularly, of course, to rose
plants chosen and grown especially
! for cut-fower production. Such roses
will be largely of the perpetual bloom
ing sorts.
Wnen rose is cut from such plants
tea roses or other perpetual bloom
ers-only two or three eyes of the cur
rent seasons growth of that branch
should be left on the plant. This
should give the roses very long stems.
Succeeding blossoms should be cut
Succeeding blossoms should be cut
close to the ;round. 1t will seem like
destroying the bush to take so much
off it, but if the object is the produc.
tion of roses, the cutting away of the
surplus wood will attain the desired
end.
If the spring pruning has not been
SCNClo tAS pldul LIKELY
to have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers. With this char.
acter of growth only one or two strong
leaf buds should be left on the branch
when the flower is cut, so "a to stimu
late as much growth as possible from
the base of the plant.
The greatest temptation to leave
wood is where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
temptation to follow a bad practice
can be avoided by pinching off all side
shoots after bud has formed on the
end of branch. This prevents the
formation of two or more buds on one
stalk. This summer pruning will en-.
courage additional blooms on varie-
ties which bloom more than once a

ESSENTIALS FOR SUCCESS.

Successful parcel-post marketing
of butter requires that extreme care
be taken to insure the delivery of a
satisfactory product TO the custom
crs. The following are a few of the
important considerations in market
ing butter successfully by parcel
post;
1. A uniformly high-quality pro-
duct should be produced.
z. 1t should be properly packed in
neat and attractive packages.
3. The shipping container used
should amply protect the butter from
deterioration and damage.
4. The packages should bear the
address of the sender and be proper
ly addressed to the customer.
5. The most expeditions mail SER
vice from the mailing Office should
be used to insure the delivery of the
butter in the best condition.
