Frozen Butter
The review of the Australian butter ' tradd with ' Great Britain, published by the Melbourne Leader, contains j matter of deep practical import alike to producers and exporters. M t Wilson, the Government dairy expert, long ago expressed something more than a doubt regarding the expedieucy of freezing butter on the vjbyage, and the opinion he then gave in' favour in favor of keeping the temperature a little above the freezing* point is fully justified by the statements now published by Messrs Trengrouse and Co., of London : — " When frozen (they say) butter appears to lose its keeping qualities very quickly after exposure in shops, and, indeed, before the. packages have been opened, notwithstanding that they nave been kept in cool warehouses upon this side,! the trouble being considerably aggravated by such phenomenalmiidness as we have experienced here during this year." Then, again, second qualities should never be exported; only the finest grades manufactured upon the factory system, as except in seasons of great scarcity inferior qualities are nearly sure to result in loss.
