New Zealand Butter.
. The San Francisco mail brought the following query to an Oamaru resident from liis mother, living in London (says the Mail): —" I want you to tell me sometime if you know anything about the butter made in New Zealand—l mean what is sent to this country. There lias been a great scare about all foreign butter lately, owing to the fear of cholera. The doctors have ireached a regular crusade about imported butter and' cheese, but I hardly think this can apply to New Zealand and Canada. I have never heard of cholera in the former place. I wonder if the supervision in the dairies is efficient.. We had been using a lot of the butter from New Zealand, as it tastes so good and is so reasonable in price. But now I am rather afraid of it." As long as there are intelligent people at Home, in good positions, remaining in such deplorable ignorance of New Zealand butter, which is consumed in enormous quantities in England, there would seem to be a pressing need for the Government taking further steps to make known the colony's grading methods and the quality of- the produce it sends Home to the United Kingdom.
