Make Good Butter.

Mrs Tweedie, the anthoress of a pamphlet on " Danish v. English Butterma'king," maintains that the British have forgotten how to make butter, for there is no dependence to be placed on the present supplysometimes it is good more often it is bad ; sometimes it is plentiful, other days there is none, and naturally a nation cannot wait for the British farmer to make his butter when he chooses and how he chooses. There is a constant demand for good butter at a regular price; and as England cannot supply that butter, Denmark, Brittany, Australia, &c, have stepped in with the commodity, and are justly reaping a large reward. Yes, people must know what they are going to get, or they will cease to buy, and that puts in a nutshell why Danish butter is pushing English out of the market. As Mrs Tweedy says : —" If English people will only make good butter, and see that each pound is properly marked, then it would find a ready sale. The old trade would be revived, agricultural England would look up again, and the cry of depression be lost in the clamorous sounds of exultation."
