NEW ZEALAND BUTTER

A FLATTERING TESTIMONIAL. Messrs. A. Hatrick and Co., AVangaliui. havo received the following letter from tho principal of a firm in Glasgow who do a largo export business: —"Dear Sirs, —W.hcn in Argyllshire last week, where I havo a small dairy for tlie supply of my own house, 1 was nmcn struck with the quality of the butter on the table, and as it was so superior to what wo bad been getting, I asked was it our own, or which of tho farmers it was bought from. I was, to my surprise, told that our own dairy was not making any butter just now, and this was New Zealand butter. I said it was the best butter I had over tasted, and that for the future only this New Zealand butter was to bo used upstairs.

"I looked up tbe_ wholesale prices, and found that it is priced the same as Danish butter, which is a very good criterion and high standard. Our home butter-makers make tho butter so hard that it will hardly spread, and it has a peculiar taste. Yours is so very good that I am writing to you and some other firms with whom wo deal in Now Zealand, to congratulate you on the excellent quality. There is a great future for your butter if you will only keep tho quality up. lam going to give it a boom in tho papers in a. few days, and am going to writo my exporienco, in ordor to warm up our home farmers to improve their make, as some of it 'is abominably bad. "I do not know from what part of New Zealand the butter comcs, or whether your district produces butter or not, but I thought that in a distant part of. tlie Empire you would like to know how much .your butter is appreciated hero, ■ and I am quito sure that, coming from your country, it will havo a big sale, and take hbld of the market in preference to Danish, and other butters which come from countries which at the present moment, I am sorry to Bay, are trading largely with the enemy, and bave their leanings towards the enemy. From this point alone, New Zealand butter, coming from a .part of our Empire, is worthy of support, quite apart from' the most excellent quality, i I think it is really tho best butter I have ever tasted."
