We have thus given brief sketch ofthe

be able 10 furnish a regular supply of good
butter for our home markets. We are
confident ,ha, many may profit by the
hints we have thrown out, and we should
be highly gratified to see them set about u
in good earnest, knowing, from experience,
that they would find it 10 their interest to 90
