Coon BCTrkn-A PnorosED TRIAL AxosG THE
DMnr WoxES-THE Es7EsPR1sE oP AEssas-
DoRssrr 4 Co-"To know on which side your
bre1d is butterea,". has passed into proverb.
The discovery Of the same fact By the strength
and odor Of the article passing for butter is not
confined to cheap clearinghouse. At most
seasons Of the year our market is, in quantity,
well supplied with butter. It could not be
otherwise, from the extent Of tho agricultural
and dairy district tributary to Chicago. Butas
to the quality Of this staple, as d whole, no
word Of commendation can be allowed.
In passing among our commission houses,
wehaye often wondered Why it should be permit
ted by the farmers Of Illinois, that tons and tons
of this staple nre brought in from the prsi~
ries to this market in d condition and Of quality
but one remove above *oap stock, strong, ran
cid, loadcd with the favors Of all impurity
caught in the careless transit through the i'll
managed dairy.
As the result Of this folly it is well known to
most OF our readers that the butter 50 manrged
and 50 forwarded to market meets with slon
sale at low figure while side By side with it,
New York or Ohio, and Illinois butter properly
made is quick, at much higher figure. Why do
not our farmers and farmers wives discover
that little more time and cure and common
sense and neatness in dairy management would
be a profitable outlay if it secured IN advance
Of from Ave to ten cents per ponud, q not ex
travagant range Of the difference in favor Of
*fextra" butter orer "poor to common"
Folsom Uorsctt, Esq, formerly, and for years
Tazewe1l county farmer ana dairsman, but
more recently Of this city, and now Of the CON-
mission house Of F. Dorset 4 Co., No. o6 State
street, has inaugurated 4 move which, we be-
lieye is in FUR way to set reform On foot
among our farmers, md as permanent consc-
quenee set good butter before our citizens and
buyersin this market ut all times Of the year
4 practical man, in bis circulars widely circula
ted throughout this state, be conreys some use
full hints as to butter making, and this prepara-
tory to hi& main proposition, since he says IN his
announcement.
For the purpose Of enliating au interest in the
Dairy business, I will pay, OF cause to be paid
the following premiums, to wit:

Wehave seen letters from s. Francis, Esq, the
Cor Sec Of the I'll. State Agricultural Society, in
| which he recommends heartily the enterprise of
| Mr.. Dursett, Is calculated to awaken the attca-
ton Of turner's to matter SO long neglected.
| The proposition comes from most reliable
! source, aud the dairy-women may as well fall to
| work to win these premiums.
| In addition to General Commission business,
| Messrs. D. / Co. intend, ut their storc No. 9G
State street, in Stewards new block, to give
much prominence to their butter tradc. To do
so, they in tile first instance judiciously regu-
late tue kind and size Of the package by sending
out to the dairsman, frkins, tubs, &c, from,
their own stock to be filled, md returned again
when empticd. We have seen Illinois butte,
sent to market in shoe-bor, and in -four bar.
rcls. The plan of this house in looking to the
manner of packing at the dairy will tell mcl fo1
them, as well as for their country consignees
| and their customers here, It is wonderful even
now to see the number Of firkius, tubs, and jars
being ordered for country dairies, to many o.
which the hint would seem to be new one.
The firm have made arrangements for u con
stunt supply Of the best New York dairy salt
IN ingredient Of the first Importance Of good
butter. Furthermore, they have secured lcrt
the best facilities for storing butter and keeping
it in good condition even in tho warR,es'
weather.
va believe the right vein has been struck
which, if well worked by this house, as VIC thinl
it will be, must result 10 marked improvement
in our butter market. Let thcir reputation b
once established, and they will become th.
middtemcn between the best dairics of th,
Northwest {w',oSe number their influence vii

wish them alt success, for Of verify the Of
