TSutteh. — Ia a most invaluable dairy production, and when really good forms < ne of tbe most agreeable assistants to our role - of life. Onr butter comes from different parts ol New Zealand, and is on the whole very fair. To enable our farmers *to obtain the highest price. in the market -. -and to produce the best butter at the same * time, let me suggest the following: — First, cease te patk in the solid ; secondly, make your butter into lib rolls up to. 41bs, wrap each roll in a piece of whi c routlin ; don't mind tbe cost eg this will be recouped by -■ the price such an. article will bring. 3be muslin mustbe-Eoakr d -in strong brine before using aijd be. put on the roll wet. '■• Use no barrels but those that .are Lew and ireefrbm burning or previous use. -Turn down the end you intend forlhe head, lhen take out the bottom and'cat a pie*re. of fine mpslin its f*ze aot? place it on the bottom of the bead of tie barrel ; • ack the smallest rolls first, \ lacing the smallest and largest tndof the roll down alternately (the rollshould be made oblong, with a greater and ieese r diarhfcter) like a packet of lan p black; '; £t It ct those ro Is which willpack snbgly, fo that no space may be left; contnue tc pack in mati |r until the bar; el is almcsl lull, then s ak*e tbe barril well (to settle T \o}y& rolls), nd fill it up as tight as possible ■ - - ' ' yy-'/i<%r .--":'- Z -" '-- " .

pack the la*t layer end op if you. can ; if not, sb -losj as "you can get. it. The main thing is to get tbe barrel full so that they will not roll about and break. Before •beading up, pour two quirts of strong pick!-- find cover the last layer with a piece ef muslin - the aarne aa you do your he.ad. Nail the birrel up -well and see that the hoops are backed with three -mite each to keep them from slipping or shifting out of p!«ce ; then torn tbe barrel over two or thrtetimt b to distribute brine well between ; the roll?. Mat k the top •♦* roll butter," and j add the weight, gross and tare, with the! addr-ss of your consignee. — (Communi--cated).
