CO&TJER * Co PRESERVITAS. Extract from The Australasian, September 17th, 1890. BY the last English mail Messrs Francis Forrest & Co., Melbourne, have received n report on the three boxeß butter sent Horns by the Victorian Department of Agriculture to test the value of " Preservitas." On examination it was found that in two of the boxeß the butter was in first- clnss condition, and itfl fine flavour was very noticeable, notwithstanding the heavy baiting ; but in the third box — Robertson's — the butter was distinctly gonp, tbe flavour lost, and in faot, although the cases had been out of ihe freezing uhamber of tbe ship only a few days, wee already rancid. This report was given by sex eral experts who had r o information regarding the butters or th ir packa es. To avoid any misunderstanding: the butters were submitted to Mr Jacobsen, of the firm of F. Jacobsen & Co , Thames Chambers, Beer Lane, E.C., for his opinion, he being a Dane, and an acknowledged expert. His report dated August 6lh runs ihus :— " Tbe ' P.C and 'F.F. we find of fairly good texture and quality, whereas the box marked ' Robertbod,' is more tender, slightly sour, and altogether does not appe< r to have stood the voyage as well as the other two.' 1 The chief point in the foregoing is that tbe P.C. and F.F. butters were treated with about 3lbs salt, and 1£ per cent, of Preservitas, the Robertson sample being salted only, and enclosed in a Mountain Ash box. , Full particulars andprioes on application JAMbS C.
