THE EXPORT OF BUTTER.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir— Mr. Krull suggests that perhaps coolness in the dairy as well as cleanliness is requisite for producing good butter. Exactly so. The best butter in America, which fetches a dollar por lb, is mado in underground dairies, through which a Btrcam of water is made to pass. Whon Mr. Krull was trying to send butter Home ho began at the wrong end of his work. He ought to havo seen first that the butter was good. The fact that it would not keep was the best proof that it was not good, providing, of course, the salt be used did not contain chloride of calcium, whioh is often found in salt and is fatal to butter keeping. According to some of tho correspondence on this subject it is evident that the noble and intelligent settler in New Zealand has not yet got all he wants. He cried out for cheap land, and ho got it ; a cheap cow, and ho got that ; and now at the expense of the taxpayer he wants to bo told what to do with it (sic). As to Mr. Bowron, he may havo gone from our shores, bnt he has, at all events, left his works behind him, which may be obtained from the Government printer for the modest sum of .29. I am, &c, H. Bodley. 15th September, 1887.
