Private Customers for Farm Button
In building up a private trade for
farm butter, it Is necessary to have
enough cows so that the butter sup-
ply can be kept up summer and win-
ter. The farmer that has only a few
cows and produces a* largo quantity
of milk in the summer, and almost
none in the winter, cannot expect to
build up a profitable trade. He will
be able to produce butter only when It
Is cheapest and when there is a large
amount of very cheap butter on IUj
market. There will bo then little In-
ducement for customers to seek his
blitter. He will also be producing but-
ter at a time of the year when all
conditions are ugalnst its keeping qual-
ities, on account of the temperaturo
being so high that all germs multiply
with great rapidity. The farmer that
wishes to build up such a trade must
provide for as large a quantity of milk
In the winter as in the summer. Ho
can then hold his customers the year
round. He can alro make better
prices with them than he otherwise
would; for ho cau flx a uniform price
for summer and winter. This, how-
ever, can be done only when the buyer
and Belter are willing to act fairly.
The producer must not try to sell his
butter elsewhere in the winter, be-
cause he can get n little more for it;
nor must the buyer try to buy else-
where in the summer, because be can
got his butter at a lower price. Some
farmers that have built up this kind
of a trade. Instead of making a uni-
form price that will hold throughout
the year, base their price on the El-
gin market report. There are many
farmers In Illinois, Wisconsin and the
neighboring Btates that have a private
arrangement to supply their customers
with butter at several cents above the
Elgin quotation. One Wisconsin man
gets at least five cents above tbe El-
gin price and his customers are al-
ways glad to receive his butter. That
Is because ho has studied butter-mak-
ing for several years and always pro-
duces a fine quality. His butter Is
never “off” flavor. Ills customers are
willing to pay him more than the
market price for the satisfaction they
experience in always having a high
quality of butter. It Is at this point
that profit comes in having private
customers for farm butter. There is
no disadvantage in a farmer securing
private customers, if he produces but-
ter of such quality that it will bring
only the current price. In that caso,
it would be better for him to turn It
over to tho corner grocer.
Coal Tar Butter Color.
It is an encouraging fact that the
Department of Agriculture has de-
tected the fraud of coloring butter
with coal-tar dye at or in the vicinity
of Philadelphia. For myself, I do not
believe In coloring butter with any
artificial mutter, not even that extract-
ed from vegetables. It Is not Just
right, fellow farmers. We have made
a brave fight against the manufacture
and Bale of artificial butter; now lotto
not be a party to fraud ourselves by
adding any foreign matter to the prod-
uct of our dairies. Let them stand or
fall for Just what they are. Wo can
get cows that will make butter that Is
as yellow as gold. Wt? can give our
cows feed that will bring the color up
where It should be to please tho moHt
exacting fancy. That is the way to do
It. Tho idea, of having butter highly
colored is only a fashion at best. The
coloring matter adds nothing whatever
to the flavor of the article. Pure but-
ler, Just ns It Is given to us by nature
Is by far the best.—E. C. Vincent.

Good -Profit-Sharing Entrprise
The United Statrs consul at Vic-
toria, B. C., reports a scheme of profit-
sharing, conducted by the British
company operating the street railways
and lighting plants In that section,
which is working well. After paying
4 per cent on the stock the balance
of net earnings is divided Into three
parts, two of which go to the stock-
holders and one to employes of more
than a year in equal amounts to each
—a track greaser receiving as much
as goes to the general manager of the
company in Londou. In 1903, the Urst
year of trial, a sum equaling 125 per
employe was divided; the next year
$35, and for this year the division,
which has Just been made, amounts
to $40.
Nickname of Coin
Tho standard silver coins being
used in the Philippines are known as
“Conants,” baving been named for
Charles A. Conant, who was sent to
Ihe Islands to pro pare a coinage sys-
tem. The authorities In Washington
objected to this nickname and directed
that the coins should be known as
Philippine currency. Before this or-
der arrived they were universally
called “Conants,” and notwithstand-
ing the official mandate the name has
i-tuck.
Wrote "Abide With Me"
It is sixty years since Hov. Henry
Francis Lyle, who wrote tho beautiful
hymn, “Abide Wilh Mo,” died nt Nice,
and this year a final (ftort is being
made in tho far distant littlo seaport
In Devonshire, where lie lived and
ministered for twenty-live years, to
complete the rebuilding of tho little
memorial church has taken the fish-
ermen thirty years to build.

Overlooked an Important Point
The Sklbbcreen, Ireland, board cf
guardians has decided to place thd
chairs in the board room with sub-
stantial benches, but vetoed e sugges-
tion to fasten them to the floor, after
the clerk had pointed cut that in that
case they would be of no usu in a
fight.
THE “COFFEE HEART."
It Is as Dangerous as the Tobacco or
Whisky Heart.
“Coffee heart” is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long home If the
drug is persisted in. You can run 30
or 40 yards and find out If your heart
is troubled. A lady who was once a
victim of the “coffee heart” writes
from Oregon:
“I have been a habitual user of cof-
feo all my life and have suffered very
much In recent years from ailments
which I became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
"Then my heart became affected. It
would boat most rapidly just after I
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some-
times my pulse would go as high as
137 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
nnd at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postuin Food Coffee.
“I gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made l’ostum my
sole table beverage. Tills was six
months ago. and all my Ills, the Indi-
gestion, inactive liver and rickety
heart action, have passed away, and
my complexion has become clear and
natural. The improvement set In
very soon after 1 made the chnnge,
Just as soon as the coffee poison had
time to work out of my system.
“My husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use of Postum, nnd
we find that a simple breakfast with
' Postum Is ns satisfying nnd more
i strengthening than the old heavier
| mini we used to have with tho oilier
j kind of coffee." Name given by l’ostum

GOVERNOR
Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
tion and commendation testifying to
the merits of Peruna as a catarrh rem-
edy are pouring in from every State in
the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, t lie statesman,
the preacher—all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, nro especially
enthusiastic in their praise and tes-
timony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal. Peruna
is the best safeguard known.
