paIy have issued proposals Of immense importance to
the farmers Of this State Western Pennsylvania, Ohio
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin IL is 10
establish butter express; receiving paice Of 100 lbs
or ORE fresh from the churn and transporting it to
this city by their fsst ne which from remote
pats of this State IN day, in the came car in which
the sgent ides and Of not ebu. up and heated
il s in freight csrs aud will ccme sn average in
third CT the time The charge OF trans spoItatiOn has
been gre atty reduced from the tariff of the other freight
with view of working up very largs business, j1st
ss the whole express business has been worked up
from very small beginning few years ago, II now
it occupies immente warehouses, and has its agents all
over the country.
The express freight will generally bs about double
the ordinary Glow line charges, but the butter will bs
delivered by the express wagons without any charge
for casge aud is the opinion Of butterdealers tbs.
the price will always range enough higher to psy the
extra freight, and generally give the farmer hand
some profit and him the necessity Of keeping his
butter until il accumulates stock large enough TO
ship, or of serg il to the local storekeeper or specu
etor. II will also cave the necessity OF farmNs club
birg as they do now. to hire separate car to carry
nothing but butter and to 90 with it to keep it
ventilated and see that it is rot put in car impreg
mated with vilainous smells which butter has natural
tendency to absorb, and by which many beg Of good
butter has been spoiled.
Another advantage farmers will have from the but
ter express is tine safety of money transmitted
for proceeds Of sales, as we understand the
Company will pay the commission merchants
| accounts Of sales, without charge risk to the
| farmer at the station where he ships his butter.
