Whether a large or small amount of ini'k or butter is sold from the farm in a year, ooe is seldom satisfied with the price tbat M paid for it. The limit usually runt from ton to twenty -five eenu a pound, while the creamenej are getting from twenty two to forty tents for the same article, only better mads and furnished in large) lot* of a uni- form quality. Here it a heavy low to th* farm While it i* trua tha'. good too!* alone will not make fine butter or rich milk, yst tbey ar* indicpensabi* to encourage th* average maker lo produc* a better 'article. Tools ar* so cheap, too, that there ought to be a higher standard in the .lairy output of the farm. In the first place, old dairy implements that have b>en used for years, especially if they have any wood about them, become so t loroujtlily soaked with old butttr great** that itii impossible to make a tine art: -I* with them. The inilant cream of trash b utter comet in contact with them, they take all the lifa and tine flavor out of th* freth article. For inttvace. a p'sc* of board, ati* oftau seen, tbat ha* been used in the dairy for or any teasona to cover the pant of milk, will de.vien th* revn at fast as it rises on th* surface of the milk, so that good butter cannot be made from it. An old churn that smells strong from age will rob the batter of half its value. Milk as it comet from th* cow ie rich in flavors, but of an ex< - 'ing peri" nature. To hold those 8 .vors, ver\ h ii with which it come* in contact mint be a* cool and clean and freih a* possible up to the time th* bargain it ttruck with th* merchant. The firtt necettity it that the stables are c!en, with no smell of rnttinr manure about '.hem. Then use mealy scoured tin buckets to milk in.
