A few good shi])ping cattle were bought for the local butcher trade at 84. yo, and another load of shippers fetched $4.80. Ordinwy lots of biitclier cattle sold at 84 to $4.25.

Also Deteriorates Very Quickly Af- tes It is Landed on the Other Side. Speaking on the above subject be- fore a recent - meeting of Ontario dairynu'n, Mr. J. A. Uuddick, Chief of the Dairy Division, Ottawa, gave some advice, that will, if followed, have an excellent eSect upon the qual- ity of the butter exported from Can- ada. JIc said in part: â€" "Very pro- l>er questions for butter manufactur- ers to ask would be. How does our butter suit the British trade? What are its defects, if any, and how may they be remedied? In answer to the first fjuestion I would say that our very finest butter gives excellent sat- isfaction and it is doubtful if there is any better butter on the market. The trouble is that the quality is irregu- lar lacks uniformity, or in other words, it is i<nreliable. A dealer may get one lot in excellent condition nnd of choice quality, but the next one he buys is not up to his expectations, so that when he is offered Canadian butter again, he is inclined to give a price equal only to the value of the poor lot. In this way much of our butter does not receive the standing wiiich it deserves. The but- ter thnt is of known quality and that can always be depended on to come up to a certain standard will bo more in oemand than one which may average as good, but which is frequently of inferior grade as well as of choicest quality. Our butter is also said to deteriorate very quickly after it is landed on the other side, and thnt being so dealers ai'o not en- couraged to trade in it. I want to emphasize the importance ot jdeasing the British mercliant as well ns the cestomer. The merchant is inclined to handle nnd push that iiarticular butter out of wiiich he stands the best chance of nmking a profit. CAUSE OF DEThnuOllATION. Now let us see if we can determine the cause of these defects which com- I el us to accept from one to two cents a pound less in price than some of our competitors receive. I believe it can be slated in a very few words. It is because the butter is not kept cold enough ut the creameries, is exposL>d to heat unnecessarily in shi))i)ing to Montreal, and is not nl- w.avs frozen properly when it arrives there and before being placed in the cold stor.'.ge chambers of the steam- ers. Mr. F. A. Knowlton, travelling in- spector, wiio nnide numerous tests dining the past season of the teua- Deralure of butter at the creameries and OS delivered to the refrigerator cars, reports that the lowest tcm- nerature he foiuid was 3.'{ degrees on two occasions, one lot being from thn West Kheftord (.'roamery and the other from the Conipton Model Farm Creamery. The highest temperature was fM degrees, nnd the average of fifty lots was neatly 49 degrees. Is it any wonder that our butter lacks uniformity ? Mr. if. B. Longeway, who is refrigeiator car insiM-ctor at Montreal, examined 400 cars and conte.'its, as they wcic ol>eiiod in railway yards. He reports the temperature of butter as varying from 4(i uji to 53, and in a few caes as high as 60. On the whole the refiigerator cars prevented the tem- perature from risi'ig to any extent In fact in testing sonic boxes it was found that the bvittcr was colder at the outside than it was at the cen- ter of the pnckaye, showing that the temperature was even being lowered. The refrigerator cur .'â- ervi.o is cal>- ablo of being inijirovod, but it is bettor now than what tbo creamer- ies provide for tliemselves. To prove thnt it is possible tor creameries to niaititain a lower temperature, I need only quote the record made at the Sherbrooke Creamery from .luly 20th to 2.'^th, when a thei'mograpli idared in tho refrigerator showed a temperature varying ITIOM 32 TO 36 nECREI^S. Now 1 tliink 1 have said enough to show wily our butler is irregular in quolily, and why some of it deter- iorates rapidly after reaching tlie other side. After butler is packed in boxes the length of time it will keep depends almost wholly on the temperature at which il, is held. The age of butter is more proiieily calculated according to the tempcra- tinv at which it has been stored than from the dale on whiiii it was made. Butter which would turn out well after several mouths stor- age at 10 degrees or under, might become iiuito stale and rancid in a tew weeks nt 40 to 50. Butler may be held at tho creamery nt llio.so high tiiiiperatures for a week or so without showing much doteriorn- ti >n, nevertheless the fermoiitittlons which produce bad flavors, ranciilily, etc., have been doing their work and shortening the life of the butler. 'Jheso termontations may bo checked when the butter is placed in cold storage at Montreal or on the steamer, only to start up again with renewed vigor when tho butter is exposed to high tempcrattn-es on the oilier side. Let every crcamerj- owner give this matter his earnest attention during tliu coming season. If he finds that with projV'r management the temperature of his refrigerator can- not be kept down to 36 or 38 de- grees, or lower, Iho Insulation should he improved until it can be. OPEN WINDOW FOR GRIP Pbysiciang Declare Freeh AIt Bet- ter Than urugs. A London despatch says: Following the now generally accepted belief in the virtues of fresh air as a cure for consumption comes the medical dec- laration that the true remedy for grip is an open window. Writing to the Express a ph.vsician says: "I have lately attended a case of influenza. I saw the patient thirteen times. As yet, we have no antitoxin for influenza, though we know the microbe, so that I could only watch and wait. However, I gave various drugs, etc., that were perhaps of some little value. My jioint in writ- ing is this: that of those thirteen vis- its only two were of direct and cer- tain value to the patient. "On the.se two occasions 1 opened a window. The first time the patient was under six blankets and miserable for want of air. The next time she had had four hours of distressing nausea, which vanished with the ad- vent of a little fresh air. The public knows about open-air for tuberculos- is, and it has heard that wo now treat pneumonia with open windows. Why can't it help itself to air in case of grip?"

She also attended a diincing assembly held in the City Hall about ten days ago, when, ac- cordinx to physicians, she had al- ready contracted the complaint. Near- ly all the prominent men in the city danced with the lady. Every precaution has been taken to (â- â- revnnt the further spread of the dis- oa.se. Dr. J. H.

LAWLOR KILLED HIMSELF First Wounded His Wife and Sis- ter-in-Law. A Toronto despatch says: After shooting his wife Edith, and his siater-in-law, Mary Jane Kelly, TJiomns Lawlor, a professional golf coach, jiut a bullet through his brain on Wednesiiay night at 71 Niagara .Street, where his wife, who had not lived with him for some months, had her home with her mother, Mrs. Mary Peer. Throe shots were fired. The first w.as ut Mrs. Lawior, but her sis- ter intercepted it, and the bullet pa.s.wd through the latter's hand. The .second shot grazed Mrs. Lawior's forehead, just above the right eye. The thi-d ended the career ot the would-be murderer. Those in the h.iuse, in addition to the tv.-o women and Lawior. were Mrs. Lawior's mother, Mrs. Peer, her son, I'ercy Peer, aged 1,5, and his younger sisters, Luc.v nnd Kdna.

His wife had in the nflernoon refused his rc- <iuest to go back nnd live with him. WONDERS OF RADIUM Remarkable Assertions of a Bus- sian Scientist. A St. IVt M'sburg despatch says: Prof. I'rince Tarkhanov, the well- known scientist, lecturing recently be- fore the Military Association, made some interesting slatenenls in re- gard t) tho possibilities of radium. He presented to his audience two cancer patients who had been cured of maligiiHut growths on tho face by the u.se ot radium and expressed the opinion that the problem of deter- mining the sex of chiUiren. which Prof. .Scheneck had failed to solve, will shortly bo settled by the aid of radium. The Prince added that he had prevented thn development of hydrophobia in dogs, inoeiilalcd with rabies virus, by using radium. When large quantities of radium were available, the Prince contended the whole system of modern warfare would bo revolutionized, as powder magazines, whether in forts or in the holds of vessels, would be at the mercy of radium rays, which could explode them at long distances. of MARCH ELEVENTH.
