IMPURE FOREIGN BUTTER.
Authorizations Found in That From
Nearly Every Country.

In a communication from the British
board OF agriculture Just received by Act
ing Secretary OF Agriculture Dabney, 4
report is made OF samples or imported
butter analyzed under the direction OF
the board from May, 1855 10 February,
1896, inclusive.
The total Number Of samples 50 analyZed
was 995, representing the products of
twelve different countries The COun-
tries i'll whose products adulterated speci-
mems We're found were as follows:
Belgium, samples. ! aduiterated: Den
mark, 1872 samples. Saduiterated Germany,
l 54 samples, 43 aGuiterated; Holland. $50
Sweden, I0S samples. adultCTated; Rus
sia, 40 samples. 8 adUlterated. The Couu-
tries contributing samples. among which no
Argentina, samples Austria, 81 Canada,
SO; France, SO; New Zealand. 21, and
United States. 50.
The noteworthy points in the report are
the tremendous proportion If adu!terated
specimens, tower 81 per cent?. from Ger
many: the large proportion numbering
over 20 per cent?. contributed from HO!-
land. and the fact that Denmark, 10y far
the largest contributor of foreign butter
products TO the British market, and en-
jOying- hitherto an almost irreproa chat,le
reputation in the butter mark ct, should
have contributed, in total of lS2 sTeCI-
mems. s aduteTated. or nearly . Per cent.
In regard to the other countries the pres
enCe OF Argentina in the British butter
market, even though no doubt TO a very
limited extent, is worthy OF note.
