Selling Dairy Butter 
I have read with much interest the 
article on page 131 “Can You Sell Dairy 
Butter,” by M. E. I’'. I have been 
.seelling dairy butter and buttermilk to 
the consumer direct for over a year, 
and have found it very satisfactory, 1 
make deliveries once a week and it is 
put up in one. two and three-pound 
packages depending upon the amount 
the customer uses. I am now getting 
six .sents a (piart for buttermilk and .55 
cents for butter a pound. I .sell to a 
working trade.: It take a little while 
to build up a trade and a good way to 
start in the Spring is to raise some high 
class vegetables and canvass a medium 
class of working people until they get 
acquainted with you. .\fter you become 
well acquainted with the people you will 
have no trouble to sell all of your butter 
and by-products. I always manage to 
have eggs, poultry, vegetables and fruit 
to take along and generally always sell 
out. GEO. F. WILLIAMSON.

A Log that Would Not Split 
We just had a lesson in the lumbering 
business. We tried to split up a very 
large sycamore tree, sawed it into cord- 
wood lengths, and tried to split it with 
wedges. The wedges entered the wood 
with the gentle assistance of a sledge, and 
stayed just where they were put, only 
they did not S{dit any wood, just stuck 
there, and we could hardly get them out. 
We then tried a stick of dynamite, which 
just caused it to roll over on the ice, and 
I think if it could have talked, would have 
Siiid, “Better use it on tlie Germans, no 
use wasting it here.” We then put an¬ 
other .stick at the other end, and it blew 
a clean hole out of the center about nine 
inches in diameter. T do not like to give 
up on a job, but that was enough. We 
just left that trunk lying on I‘equea 
Creek, and I hope it has gone to the Sus¬ 
quehanna Biver by this time, as we dhl 
not care to go into the wooden aqueduct 
business. e. ,t. w.
