The World dees not profess to be the Farmers' Friend It does not shed tears, useless tears, over the fact that our neighbors put high duties on Canadian farm products. It does not waste its breath in telling our farmers that if they wish to become rich and happy they must cringe to the United States people, praying them to reduce their duties, or in telling them the country must go to blue blazes if the Americans do not open their mark- ets to us. Why should they Are they not our chief competitors But never mind that at present. But this paper does propose to tell the farmers how they may im- prove their circumstances, how they can help themselves without being be- holden to their rivals to trade. One way is to make better butter and to adopt the creamery system. For some days back The World has had a couple of its bright young men investigating this question. They have been collecting information irom producemen. farmers, country store- keepers, members of the Legislature, creamery men, and even boarding- house keepers. This inforination is being carefully sifted and put into a series of articles, the first ol which we print to-day. What is said there may not be altogether new, but it is emin- ently true, and worthy of the attention of farmers, produce men, editors and other educators ol the people. And coming as it does from The World, which is always oh the alert to stim- ulate Canadian industry of all kinds, it will not pass unheeded. We rely on our co-workers on the country press to assist us in spreading the light. In the meantime The World again renews averment of its almost destin- guished consideration toward the farmers of Canada and their wives and tells them that to make good but- ter will do more for their moral and earthly welfare than all the reciprocity treaties in the world. Farmers, read these articles, study them, take the adyice therein contain- ed. They will do you good. But be- ware of the hay fork man. whether he comes to you in guise of a tree pedler or the vendor of medicines to cure the country's ills. Set the dog on him, and order him off the premises. The World thinks that the butter trade, as it is carried on in Canada, is in about as bad a cnnditiou as it can be. The present system of butter manufacture not only wastes a great deal of time and dissipates a great deal of labor, but it produces a great deal of financial loss to the farmer that might be prevented. AS IT IS. The system by which every farmer makes his own butter on his own farm to sell to the trade, is about as ridic- ulous as woiild be e movement to suppress the cheese factories and re vert to the old practice of the iudivid- ual cheese press. It is contrary to the co-operative spirit of the age. A.11 branches of trade are now proving the truth cf the saying that there is strength in union. The eheese^makers of Canada have demonstrated the benefit which comes to themselves and the cotmtry by distributing labor in the manufacture of cheese. The re- sult Id More cheese, better cheese and better jvices. Butter makers have not yet awoke to the importance of this. The bus- iness is pursued in a hetberogeneous planner, and the product resembles the system. Did you ever see the way they pack butter in country stores The people' from the neigh- borhood bring in the butter in small lots. It has been mads under dif- ferent methods, different temperatures and from different stock. It is laid aside until there is enough to pack, and then the firkins are filled. When it is placed on the market it is like Joseph's coat; ii has many colorsâ€" also many flavors. The housekeeper is always in great dread of the Joseph's coat articles.* When the farmer packs his own butter the variation in color is almost as marked, as he does not manufacture enough at a time and under a uniform method. What has been the reault of doing business under this system DBCUNB or THB KXJOBT y^Ap j.

It appears that there is a little rally in 1887, but at the present time there is really no demand for Cana- dian butter in tho English market. What has brought about this rapid decline First of all, the poor quality of the article exported. It is a fact well known to all dealers that the de- mand tor the 'ower grades oi butter ie never brisk, while the better the but- ter, the readier the sale. Now. more than at any time, it is hard to dispose of the lower .grades, as the artificial stuff, such as oleomargarine, compete with it. Another reason why the Canadian butter has been driven out of the British markets is. because a better article has made its appearance. Denmark. Sweden, and of late France and the United States have been send- ing superior dairy goods to that market. GBOWTH or cheesb expobt. Another reason, perhaps, lies in the fact that a great deal of the attention of dairymen of late years has been diverted to cheese matting. The rapid strides made, as showeu by the ex- ports from year to year, must of nec- essary have been detrimental to the butter trade.

The darymen interest- ed in the cheese busiuess have joined together to advance their common in- terests, and what they have done has been profitable to themselyes and greately beneficial to the country. Tbese men have gone on steadily im- proving the products of their factories. They have been anxious to learn and ready to adopt new ideas. They have managed their business with much prudence and economy and their sales- men are as a general rule pretty sagacious men, as the buyers know. This well- applied intelligeoce has bronglit Canadian cheese into good demand in Britain, insomuch that it has lowered the price of Cheshire, and the Yankees would fain ship all their cheese as "Canadian." The World is pleased with the success of the cheese manufacturers of Canada, and hopes those engaged in the butter business will follow in their foot- steps. WHAT IS TO be DONB Butter making in Canada is unpro- fitable, except where it is engaged m scientifically. The production cost too much and the prices are too low. The distribution of labor will reduce the cost of production in this, as well as iu other lines of business, and the establishment of ereameries will im- prove the quality of the article. This is what is wanted â€" quality. The famous Greek deseribMl the first, seeond and third requisites of elooa- tion as action, action aetion. The dairymea of Canada need to learn that quakty, quality quality, is the one hope of the batter trade. Under the creamery system three important features may be confidently looked forward to 1. Production will costless. 2. Prices will be higher. 8. The consumption will increase. It will cost less to produce butter be- cause the distribution labor idea will be adopted. Prices will be higher be- cause a better article will be produced The consumption will increase be- cause people will eat more good batter than bad butter. There are already signs of hope that the Canrdian butter trade will be built up again. The rule of thumb is giv- ing place to the rule of reason. In 1888 there were only 27 creameries in Ontario, now there are 65. In Quebec there are about 200. The produce of these creameries does not merely supply the borne market for good batter. There is ample room for a large increase in tiie number of ereamnies in Canada even if the cotintiy did not export a ponnd.
