and after they get used to it, nobody else's butter will suit. If you should 

 try to salt to suit everybody you would never suit. The way, is to culti- 

 vate their tastes to suit your butter. 



There is a good deal in putting up the butter; having it in a neat 

 package. Most of the creamery men use paraffin paper. It is a good 

 plan to take paraffin and put your butter up in packages in good shape. 



Most of the best butter is sold in prints or in small packages. The 

 grocers who have the best trade have practically stopped cutting butter 

 out of tubs; the majority of them want print butter. 



Another thing, cultivate the taste of your customers for fresh butter. 

 I have a family who have bought butter of me for 15 years who want it 

 packed in bulk, and this winter is the first year they have bought it every 

 week. They wanted grass butter in the fall and used to keep it till spring. 

 Of course the butter would deteriorate, and they couldn't tell the differ- 

 ence. It is better to cultivate the habit for fresh butter for your custom- 

 ers. 



If you should have a batch of bad butter, the best thing to do is to 

 mako it into soap. 



As to this tin business — there is the greatest difference in the world 

 in tin. I have some samples here of tin and solder that I will show you. 

 When you get solder, be sure you get solder, not lead.
