The Question of Exporting Butter

This export question is we'll worthy
of serious consideration by butter
makers, and dealers, but combined &C
ton is necessary, as it would not be
wise for a few individuals to assume
all the risks of finding a market, and
allow others to reap the benefits that
might result from the unloading Of
the home market. 1t is easy to find
people who say, "Oh yes, it would be
4 good thing if we could ship off a por-
ton of our summer product, even at
low price," but they want the other
fellows to do it and hold their own
stocks for home customers.-N. Y.
