QUALITY OF BUTTER
Sir, —I do not think many of us will disagree with Dr. Levy's contention that Danish butter is ahead of ours in flavour. It is rather absurd for Mr. Johnstone to argue that because the ruling price to-day is as low as that of 30 years ago, any improvements we have made in the intervening years have been in vain. I believe 1 am correct in saying that 30 years ago " home separation " was not the vogue, consequently there was a far better chance of getting high-grade cream from the milk supplied than there is to-day from the cream derived in the majority of cases under —well, scarcely hygienic conditions. No, it seems that the Danes have Erogressed while we stagnated. When I rst came to New Zealand about 14 years ago, I was astounded by the beautiful flavour of the " home-made " butter on a farm I stayed at for a while. I could scarcely conceive that this was the butter we "farmers in England used to sample and sneer at. Dr. Lery, I am confident, is on the right track, aad I await with interest his proposals or how we are to enable the farmer to supply a better product. P.D.S.
