MEDIUM SALTlNG FOR BUTTER

vising shippers not to fill their butter
tubs too full. During the summer ship

The worth of the purebred sire as

there are both cow testing and bull
associations. The United States De-

figures from number of communi-

The greatest mistake made by

fact that they forgot to elimin-

All that stands between the

thing which breaks without any
provocation whatever except
when you want it broken.
The safest way to attack an
egg when it is brought to your
table is to place it carefully on
q dish before you. Build ram

It with your knife make a noise

is no response from inside the
shell grasp the knife handle
firmly. Make several prelimin-
