The Butter Trade

„ A TO thk Editor of the star: "Sib,— l am pleased to see by Thomas' report in your, issue, of the 24th instant, 1 that ; buy era i'are beginning to recognise that there is more than one quality of •-' - • fresh -butter, aiid if -storekeepers in general would follow this example it would be the meanß of a better article in general being made. Butter makers, would soon find out that they must produce a good article Or it would not pay them to make it at all. . jUnder the '"old system the c a eless and negligent rceiyed jxist; as much -money as thos'e 1 who took the pains to make a really . good article; iii 'fact the former were the be:-t paid,; .for besides haynig less work to do, they got paid for their butter milk as well * as"- their butter. Mr W. W. Gorpe has. benefitted' greatly the butter mukars of this a,nd' the 'surrounding districts, as : many dairy farmers have been able to get cash, for their produce (a chance almost unknown before) who were not in a position to send to the Home market on their . -own-; account, and I, for one, hope that during the summer months he will be recouped for the loss he has made during winter which we have been benefitting by. Jn the meantime bakers, postmen, dock- - 'labourers, and all artisans have uuions, aiid combine to-getlier ; but farmers and •-dairy- farmers must rest content to jog along ih the old style, and allow others to - reap the benefit by paying the same price for the best and inferior of all kinds of produce.— l am, &c. .-...■■•'-• Dairy Farmer.
