Acting Secretary Of Agriculture Dabney report II
made OF samples of imported butter, anaIyzed uhder
the direction OF the Board from May. 1885, to Febru
arv 1896 Inclusive. The total number OF samples
so analyzed was 995 representing the products OF
twelve different countries The countries IN whose
products adulterated specimens were found were as
follows: Belgium, samples, aduterated' Den

countries contributing samples among which no
adultcrated specimens were found were Argentina.
( samples; Austria 81: Canada, 30; France, w. New

The noteworthy points in the report are the tre-
mendous proportion Of adulterated specimens lover
"a per cent? from Germany; the large proportion
Numbering over % per cent? contributed from Hol-
land and the fact that Denmark, by far the largest
contributor of foreign butter products 10 the British
market and enjoying hitherto an almost iTrepi oach-
able reputation in the butter market should have
contributed in a total OF 1872 specimens eight adul-
terated or nearly per cent In regard 10 the other
countries the presence Of Argentina in the British
butter market, even though no doubt 10 very
limited extent. is worthy OF note.
