Why Have We Bad Butter.

More than the usual number of COM
plants of bad butter are heard not
only in Wilmington, but in other
cities. Just why this should be is
something that cannot be accounted
Tor. 1t looks as if onr farmers wives
had lost the art of making good butter
since numerous creameries have sprapg
into exlstance. 1t certainly cannot be
the fault of the cattle, for we are told
that the Alderney, Jersey and Holstein
COWS of to-day are superior butter
making animals than any the world
saw before, and this is accented as a
general fact. In addition to this the
farmers are said to have learned a
great deal in regard to feeding cattle
They have silOs, which they never
had before ; improved grasses, which
they never had before the COWS are
patted and patted, washed and cur
rled, and their milk is said to be so
rich that the most of it changes to
butter without churning, and still the
butter don't seem to be as good as
when cattle looked out for themselves.
grazed by the way-side and fed on
scrub oak leaves. Where then is the
fault for bad, rancid butter. and who
is responsible for it We cannot tell
but the fault lies somewhere. There
is too much complaint, and it is too
general to excuse it as a casual mis-
hap. If there is any thing brought
to the table that is more priced above
another it is good, sweet, nutricious.
cream-colOred butter, and if the people
are to be deprived of that luxury they
want to know the reason. The Ian
cester, Pa, NelO Era, in the heart of a
great butter country, in referring TO
this matter, says that "unless there
snail be an improvement in this partic-
ular, the time will surely come when
the consumer will long for return of
oleomargarine, which, with all its
faults, did not insist on getting worse
year after year.
