with good butter, of the natural color, is a
bill of fare fit for king-or a free Amer
lean citizen, which are, really, correspond
ing terms People could live years on
bread and butter alone, il they were with
out any other articles of food; and the
better the bread and the butter, the more
wholesome and muscle-making would be
their diet
We have in former times, made repeated
and bitter complaints Of the poor quality
of butter brought to this market, and have,
occasionally, been almost persuaded, by
the arguments OF alleged butter-makers,
Tor the makers of alleged butter),
that the producing of good article is an
impossibility in this climate. But we are
now fully persuaded that the climate is
not to be saddled with the sins of slovenly
or ignorant farmers or dairymen, and that
the exercise of proper degrees of care and
skill will produce good quality OF butter
in this county of Clark at any season of
the Year. For, let it be understood that
there has been, during the past few years,
a great Improvement in the quality Of but
ter made in this vicinity and sold in this
market. and we take pleasure in saying
that we now find as good butter, made here,
as can be found anywhere-in Chautau-
qua, or Orange county, New York,
o, in France or England, and
the statement that the French and English
make excellent butter, must be accepted.
But fortunately, we are not left to give
our testimony, to stand simply on.its own
strength, as we have, in an editorial utter
ance of the American Dairyman, of New
York, the central and leading organ Of the
dairy interest of the United States, evil
dence from the highest source of the truth
of our assertion. The editor Of the Dairy
man speaks of some specimens of Clark
county (Ohio) butter as follows:
ave have lately been the recipients of two
baskets of butter addressed to the proprietor
| and editor of this paper, that were the finest
samples of winter butter we ever put into our
fathomless editorial NAV. The latest style,
| g. oh is in, ,alI
| Jumps, fashioned after strawberries or other
convenient forms. Well, in the center OF
these baskets was one large lump, slightly
| figured while surrounding it, like basket
| of nuts, were two or three pounds OF doable
| cones, containing about an ounce of butter
| each, fresh, crisp, nutty-favored, hard
| and dry as rocks, and with an aroma
almost as rich as June butter. 1t was worked
perfectly dry, and yet the grain was
| perfection. The color was light straw,
| natural, we take il, as tie butter was made
/ from Jersey milk, and there was just a trace
of salt 10 it. 1t reminded US more closely OF
the unsalted butter we ate in the best res
taurants of Paris, than any butter we have
ever tasted outside of that heaven of high
living"
That butter" says the editor Of the
| Dairyman, was made by Mr.. Edward
Harrison, Springfield, Ohio, from his herd
of Registered Jerseys" and the editor lets
Mr. Harrison tell his own tale as follows
with the best dairy rules, from healthy and
gentle Jerseys that are kindly treated, being
| ted with the best Il at can be given them, and
| IN the making neither milk, cream, nor but
| ter ever comes in contact with the hands.
| The sample send Was made principally from
| the granddaughters and great granddaughter
| OF .Matchless, a COW of some considerable
| fame. Mr.. Hardin will remember her and
her daughter Dimple'
To this the editor of the Dairyman re-
| spends, as follows:
"Ah well, we do remember old Matchless
and her beautiful daughter Dimple She. was
the first imported or registered Jersey we
ever owned, and the best. We bought her off
shipboard at Baltimore, and got her cheap
because she had q white tail. We always
| felt grateful to that white tail. The old COW
| died the property of Mr.. Burden, OF Troy, n.
l., and We know her blood tingles now 10
the veins of a number of offspring high up in
he fourteer-pound list. Dimple, that we be-
| lieve has made over fourteen pounds a week,
was bred exactly after our choice; but, alas |
for US, the Club would not register her sire,
Wallace Barnes We sold the bull, and
never had the luck to get SO good one
again. The Club subsequently, relented and
allowed him to be registered. but too late to
save our system OF breeding"
But there is, now, much other very good
butter besides that made by Mr.. Harrison,
or rather Mrs. Harrison and her accom-
Plished daughter. Miss May, made in this
county, and sold in this city, and it is sold
for nearly twice the price of ordinary but
ter, and paid for, at high rates, without
grumbling, by persons who accept the fact
that really good butter, as well as cheese,
has nourishing qualities to a ten-fold degree
above those possessed by poor articles Of
this kind And good butter can always
be sold, in any state of the market, at any
time of the year. There is an important
financial bearing in these facts for those
who wish to give them practical develop
meut. 1t requires not much more labor
or time to make good butter than to make
poor butter, and the profit realized from
the genuine article is much greater than
that from that which is bad

lacerated feelings. As if what Howells
and James are printing about her in their
novels were not enough Mr.. Amos A.
