BUTTER THAT WILL PRODUCE THE HIGHEST PRICE. 25 



safe in some cases but that with a great mass of farmers it 

 would be dangerous. I wouldn't do it at all. 



Member. I had a separator in the stable a short time and 

 don't believe it was any detriment to the quality of the pro- 

 duct. I do not practice putting sugar in butter. The best but- 

 ter I have seen on exhibition was sweetened ; yet I don't be- 

 lieve it would do to sweeten butter which is destined for cold 

 storage. 



Member. I have had a separator in the stable for four 

 years and have never detected any bad effects from it. I am 

 well acquainted with a butter maker who when the cream is a 

 little over sour puts in a little sugar and thinks it does good. 



Mr. Wright. The matter of sugar or no sugar is simply a 

 matter of consumer's tastes. Some like it, others do not. In 

 order to make butter most profitably, we have got to consider 

 just what our customer wants. We want to satisfy our trade. 



Member. I have been sending butter to the same concern 

 for twenty years. If you make a good article and send regu- 

 larly to the same party, they will get customers for your 

 butter. 



Member. I think the last gentleman has struck the key- 

 note. I think we try too much to sell here, there and every- 

 where. I sell my butter to one man, and he is always glad to 

 have a good article. We want to keep trying to get a better 

 article so people will want it. I think we miss very much in 

 running around trying to get higher prices. The thing to do is 

 to make a better article and carry it to the same place and we 

 will get a higher price. 



Pres. Smith. My idea is that good butter can be made by 

 any method. As good butter can be made and has been made 

 by one method as by another.
