TD V the last English mail Messrs Francis ■*-* Forrest & Co., Melbourne, have received a report on the three boxes butter sent Homo by the Victorian Department of Agriculture to test the value of "Preßervitas." On exnmination.it was found that in two of the boxes the butter was in first-closs condition, and its fine flavour was very noticeable, notwithstanding the heavy baiting ; but in the third box — Robertson's — the butter was distinctly gone, the flavour lost, and in fact, although the cases bad been out of ibe freezing chamber of the ship only a few daya, was already rancid. This report was given by several experts who bad do information regarding the butters or th ir, packages. To avoid any misunderstanding tbe butters were submitted to Mr Jacobsen, of ihe firm of. F. Jacobsen & Co., Thames Chambers, Beer Lane, E.G., for his opinion, he being a Dane, and an acknowledged expert. His report dated August 6ih runs thus : — "The ' P.O.' and •F.F. 1 we find of fairly gooff texture anl quality, whereas the box marked ' Robertsou,' is more tender, slightly sour, and altogether does not appear to have stood the voyage as well as the other two. 1 ' The chief point in the foregoing is that the P.O. and F.F. butters' were treated with about 31bs salt, and 1£ per cent, of Preservitas, the Robertson sample ' being salted only, and enclosed in a Mountain Ash box.
