BUTTER SCORING.
Mt. Mansfield Creamery Made Record
of 1913 Per Cent.

The first of the monthly educationa
butter scorings which will be conducted
throughout the year was held April i
at the Lamoille Valley creamery, East
Hardwick. 1t was a big day for tht
buttermakers, some who attended the
scoring coming from creameries at q
distance of over 90 miles Buttermak
ers, creamery managers and other rep.
resentatives from about 20 creameries
were present at the contest to see the
butter from their own factories scored
for quality and note the comparison
with butter from other plants.
The Lamoille Valley creamery, which
is the largest butter manufacturer in
the New England states, making more
than a million pounds of butter annu-
ally, displayed loyal cooperative
spirit and spared no expense in enter
tanning their guests. Mr.. B. c. Jen-
nings, president of the creamery, OBJ
tanned Mr.. Clifton Learnerd of the w.
II Learnerd g. Co, butter dealers in
Boston, to assist in judging the butter
and to give the buttermakers first
hand information as 10 the quality of
DutLHA NIdG bthb SUITS Llb DoslOi
ket. In brief talk to about IS people
present, Mr. Learnerd laid especial EN-
phasis upon the Importance of the but
termakers scoring their own butter be-
fore 1t is shipped to the dealers and in
case there should be lot off in flavor,
the shipment should be so marked that
the dealers can handle such butter
through a different channel
" R. Jones, dairy manufacturing
specialist, briefly outlined the main
features of holding most of the but
ter scorings at the creameries in that
the buttermakers have the opportunity
of meeting other buttermakers in a So
cial way and studying the methods
used in juggling butter as well as OBJ
tanning the criticisms of the judges at
the time the butter is scored. Mr.. Jones
pointed out that from 20 to rs per cent
of all the milk and cream handled at
all the factories in Vermont was made
into butter. A high quality of milk and
cream is essential in making the high |
est quality butter, and he advised that |
milk and cream be graded and paid for |
on a quality basis. There should be a |
premium paid for first grade fat of five
TO 10 cents per pound.
Twenty seven creamery and two
farm dairy samples of butter were en-
tered. Four creamery samples did not
comply with fat or moisture standards
and are not included in the averages
given.
The average commercial score on %
creamery samples was 90.35; compost
ton score 04.36, and the average com
bine score was 9l 90. The average com
position Of these samples was: Fat
s276 per cent. water 1892 per cent.
salt l92 per cent and curd LOO per
cent. The butter in general was uni
form in color and no samples were
scored off for notifies. The chief criti-
ism was the lack Of clean and pleas
ant aroma necessary to high scoring
butter. No samples showed metallic or
ishy fiavors A list of all samples scor-
ng over 90 is given below.

American Sugar.

The inexplicable actions of American
Sugar stock on the Exchange yesterday
were the subject of a great deal of
comment in commission houses. For a
time the market in sugar was actually
demoralized and, a bid or an offer of
stock resulted in extremely wide fluctua-
tions. The market at one time was such
that. after selling at 69%, there was a
brief pause, then a sale of the same
stock at 651a, a break between sales of
more than points, which was consid-
cred almost unbelievable in a stock as
active and as much of a favorite specu-
latively, as Sugar. Many brokerage
houses called their representatives on
the floor to confirm the 65h sale. be-
lieving that an error had been made in
printing the transaction on the tape. Fol-
lowing that sale there was another at
&C. after which another transaction was
carried through at 68. Next came a sale
at 81 and from that point on the fluctu-
ations were more orderly and to a large
extent fractional. A great deal of COM
ment on and no little criticism Of the
manner in which the market In Sugar
had been handled during that brief
period was heard.

Oil stocks Move Upward.

In response to publication yesterday
morning of President Hardings letter
opposing the proposed tariff on oil inn
ports. the oil stocks. particularly those
representing properties in other coun-
tries, were extremely strong. The sharp
mid-afternoon reaction, although wide
spread, was not sufficient to wipe out
the gains made by those stocks in the
morning and as a result they closed
with net advances on the day. Even the
American oil stocks, such as California
Petroleum, Texas Pacific, Invincible,
&c. moved up on the day. although their
gains were mostly not as large or as
well sustained as those of the Mexican
and South American groups.

PUBLIC BEING MISLED,
SAYS KRUTTSCHNITT
S. p. Chairman Doubts Need
of LoDer Freight Rates.

The public has been misled into belief
that high freight rates have resulted in
the stoppage of large volume of traf-
fic and that a general reduction in
transportation rates would operate to re-
vive traffic. declared julius Kruttschnitt,
chairman of the executive committee of
the Southern Pacific Lines. In n letter
addressed TO the stockholders of the
system.
"The fact Is" said Mr.. Kruttschnitt,
that even since the rates have been adj
vanced the cost OF transporting a great
many commodities which II is asserted
cannot move at the increased rates is
far less than the toll taken by commits
sion merchants and retailers for buying
and selling them. There is the strongest
reason to believe that the great stagna-
ton in business is due almost entirely to
worldwide conditions which must inevi-
tably have come II there had been no
advance In freight rates. Moreover, the
volume Of freight traffic increased sub
stantially for some time after August 26,
when the new rates became effective.
