Danish Butter Best After Comparison in England

“j JNDOURTRDEY Danish was the best.” .writes Mr. C. C. Ward, Now Plymouth, who is at: present on a business trip to England. This.remark was written after Mr. Ward hn< ! purchased various butters .and tested them, himself as a consumer. The product of the English farmer he descril r s as greasy. For the purpose of comparing Now Zealand butler with other makes,” writes Mr. Ward, “1 purchased while in Wolverhampton a pound of New Zealand butter at Sbl, a pound of English made, or farmers', at Is, ami Danish at Is. I took these home rind carefully tested and compared the three makes. Undoubtedly the Danish was the best. It. tasted- fresher, which was to be expected, as it was probably only a week old. The New Zealand luitter, though not so fresh and tasting a little stale, J considered quite satisfactory, and when, spread on bread there was not much room for complaint. “The farmers’ blitter was very greasy in appearance. It appeared to have too much moisture and was. oversalted. Its flavor was fresh, but not as good as the Danish, nor us a selling article at the same price. 1 lasted the 4'ari tiers ’'butter again two days later and found a distinct taint in its flavor, proving that it does not keep well. “1 came lo the conclusion that if there were no Danish butler, people in England would have a very sntisfac-

ton* article' in tho Notv Zealand but tor,'-- i i especially when the difference in prion [ is considered. | , Demand for N.Z. Butter ‘‘The salesman from whom I purchased the butter told me, on my in-* cmirv 1 lint there was a big demand for :| New Zealand blitter, and his firm wan ; selling large quantities. New Zealand • cheese at <id and 7d a pound was the} most popular cheese on the market, { but there appeared to be no regulated!, price for butter. One store’s price J was XM, while almost next door the; same brand was priced at lOd. An - j other butter was called ‘Pdended, ’ j; and also ‘Blended with Best .Imported.’ tlie price being Hid!” Referring to the advertising of New t Zealand produce, Air. Ward writes: 1 New Zealand butter is very well advertised in the .Midlands and is often ( prominently shown in the shop ■ windows, several boxes being display- < ed at one time in well arranged and. well dressed windows wilh ‘New Zea- j, land Butler’ printed in large letters ■. over and around the large blocks of ] butler, and a price ticket slating tire selling price per pound. Batter is also ! shown in one pound and half pound puts. New Zen land cheese is often shown in conjunction with New Zea- 1 land baiter. ”
