Sioux City JonrHai:--The recent but
ter test in Great Britain is calculated to
open the eyes of the English public.
While every II OF siXty-three American
samples was found pure, it was discover
ed that one sample in every SIX from
Germany was adulterated, and that Hol-
land, whence the greater part Of the but
ter and cheese imported into England
comes, was imposing upon the consum-
ers to even a greater extent, n sample
in five OF The Dotch butter being impure.
The result was probable disappointing
to the English board of agriculture, but
it ought to result in extending the trade
in England of American dairy products,
and increase the value and Importance
of the COW On the western farms.
