BUTTER SHIPPED IN SUMMER
Parcel Pot Will Prove Entirely Satlfr
factory If Proper Condition
Are Maintained.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment or Agriculture.;
Parcel post shipments of butter nro
likely to be subjected to conditions,
especially during the summer, which
may cause deterioration and injure tho
quality of the butter. It is highly de
sirable, say specialists of tho United
States Department of Agriculture,
that every possible precaution bo tnk-
en before shipment Particularly is
this true of farm-mndc butter, because
conditions affecting Its quality and
condition usually cannot bo controlled
ns easily ns In crenmorles. Farm
made butter, however, should bo mar
keted Just ns satisfactorily as cream
ery-made butter when It Is properly
made and prepared for Bhipmcnt.
It is necessnry to mnlntnln proper
conditions 'n the care of tho milk nnd
Several Thicknesses of Old Newspa-
pers Should Be Wrapped Around the
Butter Before Inclosing It in the
Shipping Package.
cream nnd the making of butter If a
marketable product is to be produced.
Too much Importance, it Is said, can
not be given to maintaining cleanly
conditions In the stable and In other
places where the milk, cream, or but
ter are produced or kept for they ab
sorb odors and spoil very quickly. It
is Important, too, that these products
be kept In a cool place. High temper
atures should always be avoided, ns
they produce a soft, oily condition of
the butter which Is undesirable.
In manufacturing butter on the farm
or in a Tactory tne uuttermiiK must
be removed nnd washed out, und the
proper amount of salt must-be incor
porated evenly. Frequently parcel
post shipments of fnrm butter are un
satisfactory to customers because
proper methods were not used in mak
ing it, and the qunllty and condition of
the butter thereby Injured before It
was shipped. For the satisfaction of
customers It is important that a uni
form qunllty of butter be produced.
Methods used in prepnring butter
for parcel post shipping depend largo
ly upon the local conditions nnd stylr
of package used. To Insure delivery
In the best possible state, butter, after
being pneked, printed lind plnccd In
enrtons, should lie chilled or hardened
thoroughly before It Is shipped.
One of the most satisfactory ways
of preparing butter for shipment Is In
regular one-pound prints, the stand
ard print mensuring 2Ji by 2 by 4
inches. Every pound print should lie
neatly wrapped in regular butter
parchment or paper. A second thick
ness of such pnper hns been found to
add materially to the carrying possi
bility of the butter. Wnxed paper mny
be used for the second wrapping. As
n further protection to the print, -It
should be placed in henvy manlla
paraffin cartons, which mny be ob
tained from folding paper-box com
panies, either plain or printed ns a
stock carton or with a special private
brand.
Corrugated fiber-board shipping con
tainers of various sizes mny be ob
tained for shipping one-pound prints
of butter. These boxes or containers
practically Insulate the butter and fur
nish much protection ngalnst bent.
Further protection mny be obtained by
wrapping the container In stout wrap
ping pnper. The whole should be tied
securely with a strong cord. In tying
the twine it should lie drawn tightly
around the package so as to Insure
its proper carriage.
Some persons ship butter by parcel
post In Improvised or hprne-mude con
tnlners. Clean, discarded, corrugated
paperboard cartons nrc obtnlned from
the grocer or other merchnnt nt small
cost or frequently without nny cost at
nil. It Is possible to cut a piece of
paper board In such shnpe and size
that when It is folded It will form n
satisfactory carton.

Children
Special Care of Baby.
That Baby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it
is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use
a man's medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of
that same infant Either practice is to be shunned, neither would
be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases.
Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must be
prepared with even greater care than Baby's food.
A Baby's stomach when in good health is too often disarranged
by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving
to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared
for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived.
Make a mental note of this: It is important, Mothers, that
you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of
your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that
the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily
prepared for grown-ups.
