The common Methodenow ou use in most farrae is oixonlY ta collet Itt a cream can or ;ar aucceosive crearaings, until enough hoe been secured for a churning. The cream is meanwhile 'held in the cel- lar, inilk-house, back porch or epr:ng bowie.

The reason assigned is that the temperature of the cream is Usually 55 degrees, which is meld. ered, too IOW to Obtain, a good growth of the teal° or acid-torming bacteria whieli give ` the proper. flavors to fievors to cream.

The use of buttermilk as,a starter, 'however, may injure the toping 'quality of the product. PROPER METHOD OF OHURatING. After the creant has properly ripen.. ad it should be cooled down. to tae temperature at Whielie it is to be oharnea,and, held at`Chat for at least twe,h.oure to permit the fat to 'become cool and fiz•n-i siefficient to churn.

Churning should stop when the butter begins to collebt in the buttermilk in. granules from the size of a pea to tbat of a grata of corn. If the granules are about that size, be washing will remove all tb.e butternillk, Too much washing haa a tendency to .give the butter a flat taste, by removing the neer flavors. Cse abeet the same amount of wash water as of create churned. • WASHING, SALTING AND WORK- . The temperature of the wash water should not beehigher nor lower than the churning temperature, 'Very cold water absorbs the flavors of the but- ter readily, and causes brittleneSs or body and poor quality in the butter, After the wash water is drawn from the butter, the tatter should be taken out In tne loose granular form and placed on the working 'board or table, This table should be clean and thor- oughly wet with eo.d water.

These reports cover the particular operations car - tied out in the various sections of the country and on this account become. of very special intcrebt t o the mercantile and farming communities desirous of keeping in touch with the important devel- opments that axe occurring throughout Canada. We quote from the different reports as follows: • QUEBEC. Tlae ciit of lumber during the past season was not as large as usual, Practically all stocks have been sold and shipped out. Prices were high. Labor conditions show improvement and a larger cut is looked foe this winter. • Tap demand for pulpwood from. the United States was uneven, but stocks have been well disPosed of and high pekes are expected to be main- tained. The paper mills of the Province tontinue to working to capacity, the demand for newsprint and better qualities of print papers exceeding the supply. Manufacturing in nearly all lines has been generally satisfactory, al- though production is still limited by scarcity of skilled labor and raw materials. Hay and cereal crops were aver- age. Root crops were large, but potatoes suffered from rot. Pastur- age was good, and dairy products will show an increase. With the exception of asbestos, there is little mining done in the Proviiice. Asbestos prices are good and ship- ments are well maintained. The fur business has been good, and boot and shoe manufacturers find difficulty in supplying the demand. Shipbuilding continues active, a number of large steel vessels hav- ing been launched from different yards during the year. The wholesale Mid retail trade was. most satisfactory; collections Were good and failures show a decrease. There have been no exceptional ex- penditures during the year by the Dominion or Proviricial Governments and municipalities have limited dig- buaseraents to necessary works. Frio- tically no railroad construction, was undertaken, There is very little speculation in real estate; vas lues and rentals are both high, General conditions, both in cities and rural, districts, are good, with no apparent •slackening in trade since the termination of the war. The housing problem is evetywhere mite, and those alependent on a fixed income are seriously affected by the abnormal eost of all necessariee. ONTARIO. Manufacturing M Ontario has been limited only by shortage or supplies and disturbances in labor. Govern- ment credits for good e sold to Eu- rope have stimulated manufacturing, and domestic demands have been in- sistent. New industries have been started, and a number of successful manufacturing concerns in the United States have been making enquiries with the intention of locating in One" tario. Ontario farmers have been steadily bettering, their position M recent years, inatailing modern equipment and improving their modes of living. The past year has been one of fair crops and high _prices. A wet spring was followed by an exceptionally dry summer, and grain crops, with the exception of fall wheat, fell below the average. Root crops were good; corn and tomatoes were a record yield; the season was poor for all fruit except grapes. Cheese production showed a falling off. There is a shortage of hogs; sheep raising is on the increase. The cattle situation Is somewhat un- settled, owing to the limited amount of feed available for carrying through the winter, The production 9f lumber has been seriously reduced owing to shortage of labor. 1019 has been an excellent meaketing year, with heavy sates to Great Britain and tlie .United States, and a steady dornestic demand fon all classee ofalumbere Prices have been unusually high, there is no no - .1•••••••••••••• al • I • 1 PM I I 00 TheVeryBest $ Gift for a Men you are sure to be right if you. give him a Gillette Safety Razor. • Let him know what comfortable shaving realiy is.
