Trade is so keen that the majority of merchants are afraid of giving offence to a onotomnr, and ib is a well. known fact that farmot's' wives are very sensitive as to the quality of their butter. The bead and the good grades of batter are often 'bought without discrimination, and then all are mixed together', and al. lowed to stand on tables, or dumped into boxes, there to remain possibly for weeks before being finally packed in tubs. The cellars and other rooms in which butter is stored are often contaminated by foal odors, and where those conditions exist it is impossible to have good results. We adheredst tto, following will help to material. ly improve the qualiby of butter handled by merohants :--. (1) Prepare a speoial room ie. the cellar in which only butter is stored the room if possible should bo chilled with ice. This room should be thoroughly white- washed once or twice during the season ; it is beet to add to the whitewash a small quantity of common salt. The salt will aseisb in malting the whitewash adhere to the walls or partitions better than if the lime is road alone in the water, (2) When received cars should be taken to class the butter according to grades in color and quality. This will save time in the packing process. The butter should be packed every clay. In order to get a uniform color in each tub, the butter may be worked on any of the ordinary table host mixers ; but in no case should the hands be used for this process. None but ex - in perienced persons having good jud'maut should be allowed to do the mixing. Care should be taken that the butter le not overworked, a0 is this way the grain is often destroyed. (3) Tho person who is working the bat- ter should have, by his hand, ordinary ayed pickle, which may be made by using three earn pounds of salt, two ounces of saltpetre and one gallon of water. A small portion of this should be sprinkled over the butter from time to time as it is mixed. This will serve the purpose of washing the butter and freeing it from any buttermilk that may retrain in the product. (4) The fifty-six pound dovetailed square box, the inside of which should be paraftined and lined with the best quality of parchment paper, is the proper peek - age for butter intended for the British market. Wo do not, however, favor this package for the local trade, and as the majority of this class of butter is used Iocally, the ordinary fifty or sixty pound tub is usually preferable. Any of the ordinary woods, such as whito ash or waits wood, will serve the pitrposo. (5) Tubs should be soaked at least twelve hours before packing, and then rinsed out with a strougsalt pickle, after which a small quantity of flue salt may be rubbed over the sides of the tub.. If the tubs are parafined they are prefer- able, and do not require to be soaked. (0) Butter ehould be well packed into the tub by means of a hardwood masher. In Tailing leave about half an inch space to the top of each tub, so that ornate of flue salt rutty be applied, after covering the butter with a bleached cotton cloth. (7) Market without delay, as butter will not keep fresh in ordinary cellars for any length of time dur'iug the Summer months. are you going to sell your attendanoe at the celebrated arson sass in Melanothon township last week. the pulpit of Burns, l a Presbyterian of dumb chumob on Sabbath lust in the absence of Me, An. dereon.

The Dominion and Provincial Govern• moats during the Iast few years have clone a great deal to encourage butter making in Canada. They have sought to educate a class of butter makers who would be competent to produce an article second to none In quality, in order that Canadians should bold a position with their butter in the British market equal to that now held in cheese. It alieed that; after producing butteas rs of thether finest quality, and putting it up in suitable Packages, it would be necessary to ar- range for a proper cold storage and re• frigeration transportation. Arrangements have been made to this end. It will no doubt, however, take a little time before the full benefit of this arrangemeut can be realized. The Dominion Dairy Com- missioner, and other authorities, have endeavored at all times to emphasize that all these rovided A.
