TEE SECRET OF coon BUTTER.

TEE SECRET OF coon BUTTER.
Every one knows how superior is tie
reputation Of Philadelphia butter, and many
nave been the attempts to account for it
Perhaps the most popular notion was that
1t was due to the prevalence of the ''sWeet
yernal grass" in our pastures and hay fields
the grass which often gives so peculiar
arrogance to meadow hay. Bat it needed
very little reasoning to demolisll such atle-
ory as fish. This grass is one of the poorest
Tor hay or pasture purposes, and scarcely
exists, except Oh cold clay lands, in partial
ly shady places near groves or lew woods.
Yet while this grass is the exception, in
deed the very rare exception, in low pas
lures, or in the hay ted TO our COWS, good
butter is the liberal rule il all our n.ar-
kets.
1t has long been the opinion of our best
a gricultural gencralizers of tacts that we
W much mere Of the sweetness Of our
butter to the abundance Of springs and
spring houses in Our State, than to anything
peculiar which grows in our. pastures. Milk

atmosphere, and water has some hence

inquiry whether the light Of Il kerosene
lamp in q dairy could possibly affect the
quality of the butter; we should answer
most decidedly in the affirmative, AL
doors OF every description should be care
fully avoided, if the very best brand is de-
sired.
There is enc little incident in this reputa-
ton of,Philadelpilia butter which must new
er be forgotten. The followers of Penn
made up q large class Of our original farm
ing population. With these people %cleanli-
ness was especially of the virtues. 1t was
not q mere sentiment that it was ''neNt to
goodness" but an everyday testimony in
all they did. Aided in these clearly prac-
tees by their numerous springs and SPRING
houses, we have little doubt we owe 20
them as much as to any other CIRCUMSTANCES
the eninent character which Philadelphia
butter enjoys; and we believe that if other
quarters would give especial attention to
these little notices, rs good butter might be
had in any part Of the Union as here.
Nevertheless we are obliged to add that
there is IL great deal of poor butter sold In
Philadelphia made in the eastern counties.
