Willis Powell, Exeter, Ont., Better Butter Advocated "It At the Western Ontario Dairymen's Cativention held in London last week two 'men, Well-known to our readers had an :important part, Mr. J. H. Scott.,:. official butter grader, of Tor- ontQ,,.aod formerly of Exeter, and W. .Q: Medd; were among the speakers. In reporting their addresses the London Advertiser said:— Butter Grading. An interesting report of the butter grading station was submitted by 3. H. Scott. He mentioned, among other things, that cream graded as second ,.grade at the creamery invariably made butter which the butter grader put into ;thesecond grade. Nearly all the cream- eries that had over 5o per cent second- grade butter did not sent samples very long, but evidently preferred to go on in the old way rather than to have the defects of their butter advertised on a score card. Mr. Scott declared that, as he saw the butter situation in Ontario today, there was room for improvement. The fact that at themeeting in�Toronto: re- cently of the anadian'4reamery Asso- ciation not little minutes" w -as spent in discussing hoy the 'quality.of butter` could be improved,helasaid,, indicated that the crean cry men'ditt not see' ',eYe to eYe with hon. He argued that, if'resent.. market conditions were fo' .,'C1. ntiirue, there; might be a reason for not paying more attention to quality, but an improve- ment would certainly be necessary if a surplus of butter for export from Ont- ario were to be expected. The reports from Montreal of butter received from Ontario as compared with some of the other provinces were not encouraging, to say the least. Outstanding Defects. 1 41 IF YOUR CHILD IS CROSS, FEVERISH, CONSTIPATED It oble, Mother! If tongue is coated, cleanse tittle -bowels with, "Cali- fornia Syrup. of Figs." Mothers can rest easy _after giving °California Syrup of Figs," because in es few hours all the clogged -up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Sick children needn't be coaxed to take this harmless "fruit laxative." Millions of mothers keep it bandy be- cause.they know its action on the atom- twch, liver and bowels is prompt and sure.

We would call upon our souls and all that is within us to magnify His Holy Name that it hath pleased Him to grant us victory which means such blessings, not only to all mankind but to generations yet un- born. We would offer praise and thanksgiving to God for the fine spirit which his characterized our men for the courage and endurance which en- abled them to play so heroic a part and for their splendid example of ser- vice and sacrifice. We would also praise Him for the work which the women of our land have been able to do in helping to win the war. Again we would joyand rejoice that amid all the strain. of this mightly conflict the Women's Missionary Society has been able not only to "Hold the Fort" bti't' to advance in winning the world for Christ.. The Presidenta;jMrs. James. Hamilton, who had, just returned from a„conference of.the Provincial Board in Toronto, gave a splendid outline of the Forward movement in connection with our society using a set of valuable charts for the purpose of illustration. She explained that it is not a Forward Movement only, but an upward move- ment.

Mr. Scott declared that the attitude of the dealers of grading of buttter had been disappointing., He thought, the: initative in this respect must corse from the dealer. The creameries might continue grading butter, but it would not produce the results hoped for until the butter dealers lost fear of their competitors. I. W.

Medd, Woodham, proprietor of the Wi nchelsea Creamery and 2nd vice-presid ant of the Western Ontario Dairymen's Association. The creamery industry, he thought, had been drifting on th e tide of material- xtent the ideals of nished product acrd rd had been lost. Conditions Too Easy. The ease with which butter could be sold and the lack of criticism of its quality, said the speaker, had reacted on the quality of the cream sent in to the creameries. He did not suggest that Western Ontario butter was bad. As a fact, he thought the average of quality was perhaps as high as any- where in Canada , with the possible ex- ception of the Province of Quebec. A great many varieties of good butter were produced in Ontario—too many, in fact. The speaker would like to see only one variety of butter produced in Canada, namely Canadian butter, the best in the world. Mr. Medd spoke of the desire of the United Farmers to secure control of part of the dairy industry. "But if part is good the whole must be better," said the speaker. "Why not everything p:ro- duced.on the land under the control of the farmers who produce it. We should then have practically only two classes of people, the farmers and their hired help. If that is the way Utopia is to corse, let us say, Amen; but the fact of the matter is that you must have pro- ducers, manufacturers and distributors. Whoever in theory controls, that is a condition of economics which cannot Urges Pasteurization. Mr. Medd urged the universal pas- teurization of all cream for butter mak- ing, uniform method's of manufacture, a uniform standard which every butter - maker should seek to attain, and mar- keting on the basis of grading. This he declared, was the only basis which was fair to both buyer and seller. It was also, in his opinion, the only method which would result in Canadian butter gaining a, reputation for excel- lence of quality. lie referred to the fact that of forty odd lots of butter exhibited only one had graded as special, and that one came from the Ontario Agricultural College, Nine lots graded first-class, and one of these would have gone into the special class if -it had had fifteen - hundredths of a point more for flavor. He was rather annoyed `about this, be- cause this sample came from his owe creamery. He was satisfied that the judges had done their work well and fairly, however, and that the fault was actually in the butter flavor. In con- clusion, he expressed the belief that, if the butter -makers would try to do their best, the future of the indusry in Western Ontario Was full of hope.
