PRICE OF PRIME BrrrER.-X. A. Willard,
whom We consider the highest authority In dali
~ matters in the United States, delivered an
address last winter before the Vermont Dairy
men's Association held at ST. Adams, Vt. In
urging q higher standard oil quality In cheese
and butter, he gave the Association some very
plain talk as follows:
sIf we couldonly induce fai mers to improve,
| to make that progress which the age ana the
cheese making art now demands, our progress
| would be almost boundless, the prosperity Of
the dairy interest would be beyond peradven-
| ture. When you take into consideration the
immense quantities. of putrid cheese and the
vast product of rancid butter which you force
| the people to eat, 1t Is q wonder that we have
90 little surplus In the Market from year to year.
We talk about the difficulty Of finding markets
| and Of getting remuneraive prices, and well
we may for the kind of produce We force upon
| the attention of the consumers. Our best
cheese goes abroad. The refuse is consumed
at home. We complain because people will
not buy and eat freely an article which Is SO
poor and ill-aavored there is no pleasure in eat
ing 1t.
| There is market In New Voik and Phila.
| delphia and other cities for butter ut 81 90 per
pound. Mr. Lyman Of the New York Tribune
asserts that there are 5000 families In New
York City by whom Is cents per pound would
not be considered high price for all the but
ter needed for their consumption, II the quail
ty desired could be obtained. Colonel Geo.
&. Waning states that lie recently contra eted
! for bis butter with Boston dealer "a man who
is handling tons OF best butter al thirty 10 thir
ty-tve cents per pound) at seventy iive cents
per pound with promise of an advance by aad
by. Why Is il that this butter commands al
wholesale twice the retail price OF best butter,
he explained in the "Og,len Farm Papers" US
follows : Simply because OF its extra quality,

half pound cakes, each of them is wrapped in
square of damp muslin and they are packed
Oh shelves In All ice box, 50 that they reach
the market IN the most attractive form. No
pains are spared to make everything as appe
lizing as possible, ami the butter really costs as
much as hve cents pound niOse than IL would
ifput up in the ordinary way. He says'There
need be no fear OF overstocking the market
with really 'gill~edged' butter. II will always
la scarce and high. For instance, Mi. Sargent
OF Brookline, at whnse feet sit III dairy mat
