How Good Butter 10 Made.

The Boston journal of Chemistry
says: "The market is abundantlv
supplied with poor butter, but of fner
qualities the supply is very limited.
1t ls matter OF wonder that dairv
farmers do not regard their interests
more wisely in manufacturing thismore
important farm product. Il requires
but very little more skin and care to
send to market butter which finds a
ready sale at high prices, than to send
that which nobody wants, and which
it sold, goes at low price. Il is inn.
possible for any produce. to be in the
slightest degree independent and
above-board who is contented to make
an article of second or third QUALITY.
If dairyman in New Hampshire or
any other State wishes to conduct his
business successfully, let him come to
the city and ascertain the character OF
the product which every dealer is anx-
lous to procure, and for which he is
willing to pay high prices in ready
money: Many farmers at q distance
from the city do not really know What
perfect butter is, having never seen Che
article. Finding, as we do. q ready
sale for our milk almost at our own
door, we have not, to much extent
turned it into butter, therefore our
supplies come from those who raise
milk under different circumstances. So
difficult is it to procure perfect butter
in the market that frequently We have
waited q week before any could he
found; when found, the price is about
double that for which ordinary qualities
are sold, and the price is cheerfullv
paid. How to make good butter can
be easily understood. Good butter
COWS are necessary, and also care and

cool, airy, sweet. rooms, especially
designed for dairy purposes, It is inn.

cannot be produced in ordinary farm.
houses, with ordinary conveniences.
Those who produce butter largely, o,
even moderately, should have plenty
Of ice in summer ; and in winter, the
warmth needed should not come from
stove in the room, as it is difficult ia
prevent contamination by dust and
gases. The art of making good butte,
is like other Industries must be
learned; and there are certainly no in
designations that dairy farmer can
make, which will give him better pecu'
