own butter. He purchased a sep-

the approved plan, putting the but-

made at the time of our visit was
of very fine quality, and as good as
any creamery. It commanded ready
sale at the village store. In fact,
the storekeeper supplied tl►e wrap-
pers, free of cost, with his own
name and brand printed on thein,
and made a special feature of sel-
ling the butter. On the adjoining
farm, where the conditions► were
more favorable for caring for the
cream, there being a cold spring
near the house, no separator was
used. The butter was a very low
grade as compared with the other ;
the flavor was bad, and the quality
inferior. It may nut bo fair to as-
cribe the better quality of the but-
ter made in the former case to the
rise of the separator. But so far as
we could see in the different me-
thods followed, it had a great deal
to do with it. There is this about
