A NEW BUTTER BOX.
Last August a memb?r of the Australian Butter Committee in London paid a visit to Russia to investigate the supplies of timber suitable for butter boxes. He lias a crato of new butter boxes he is sending to Sydney—boxes which contain only lia'f of the usual quantity of timl)3r, with lids that slide on and off in iron grooves, that can be fastened with a leaden seal. This package allows a current of cold air, when in store, to pass completely round each box, and, last but not least, tho box, though strong, has not sufficient timber in its composition to allaw cf brands being planed off to prepare the boxes, for other than their original butters. This new box, which is being also sent to Victoria, it is reported, costs about half tho price of an ordinary box, and is half the weight. The edges are bound with thin strips of toughened steel, and the patent is held in America.
