NEW ZEALAND BUTTER

Mr J. Graham Gow, Government Trade representative of New Zealand imSoatb Africa has advised the ‘ f Coloinist/ J a weekly’ paper published at Dui ban, Natal, that a splendid advertisement has been secured for New Zealand butter by the agency of the Anchor brand of the New Zealand Dairy Association, of Auckland. Particulars have been supplied to the New South Wales Department of Agriculture by Mr J. A. Bulkeley (holder of the Hawlcosbury College travelling

Bcholaa-ahip), now in tk© United States. It appears-, according to the report ot Mr Bulkier, that the Umted States Dopartmeht of Agriculture securest samples of foreign butters in London, including ; several Australian butters, and a. parcel I of the Anchor brand. All these were exhibited at different dairy shows throughout the States, and in oidei to asceitmn what American experts thought of the - Australian samples, Mr Bulkeley obtained i : - from the American Agricultural Depart , ment the following scorings by its exI perts:—Australia No. 1, 80 points; Australia No. 2,. 83; New South Wales, 83; ‘ Victoria, 883; New Zealand, SJIA. The r New Zealand sample only contained tenth-s of one per cent, of curdy matter. ir'l This, of course, points to the splendid • system of manufacture iu vogue in the • colony, and shows that New Zealand but-ter-makers recognise the principle that ; the success of keeping butter depends on the effectiveness with which the curdy matter is eliminated.
