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.

How to Gare for Butter.
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
