A Middle Island resident, who .recently visited ? England) gives the .following is'bis experiences of butter export:—"Beforo lie went Home bo obtained a keg .'of butter riiade in tile, ordinary way to take'with liiih'to mhow it would stand the voyage, When he got to Wellington-he .saw 2000 kegs of butter, of the ordinary' Now Zealand made .butter, 1 shipped ih the same steamer nVwliich lie was going'; When they'grit' to London he saw that butter opened and tasted, and he must say that it was a disgrace to the country that sent it, : It .was ;sold at 2Jd per lbH/NOw, such' cargoes as that damaged the country's name in ithe'ifutn'fe.' 'Ho took his leg to Bristol and had it tested by an expert a fortnight after landing, because' "he wanted to see what effect the' weather would after;comi|ig but of the cool chamber; The expert pronounced, it first-class. He : con : sidered it more; fatty than \the.best English, Canadian, or Danish, and the firm -who tested the butter said, '.'lfyour country wouEahvaya send us butter of quality equal to that, why', wo should, have an inilimited demand, and 'it*would command the top price ,in...the. .market." We sincerely '■ trust Hhat -the 2000 kegs shipped from Wellington were not made in the-Wairarapa, but'they'niidoubtedly might have been.' .!The evidence of this pirticular'farmer who went to England arid took "alittlo biittter. with him, is conclusive on joints. Ist; That ; good.buttor made'in this colony can be landed iii .prime 'condition : in • England,: and; secoudj that a satisfactory price, say perlb is obtainable there for it, An eminent authority on dairy factories; Professor Long, of the Ciren-;. cester .Royal College in a letter to' our.dwn Agent General said:/am .quijesureif cobniats only knew how Iheif could compete in our markets against the world, 'Sir F, D.Bell himself.. endorsing, this statement 'adds ", As New' Zealand biitter'can best be sent over from October to March, it can come to. London just at the time when it'is most wanted, and take part of the place of the foreign butter that now holds the field; Bis simply a question,- as Professor Long says in his letter to'ine,. of "bowing how," and he is the veryman!wbocan make our farrners know. how. jSp pressed '. the < valued from an : e^pertjpX.Baeti;Jiig&'^Ubpa£y ; would be, that I sent ; you .a message yesterday asking you to' let me arrange, if \possJbld, ffr'Lornj;, wtlie, best tbiiif.ybii-Wdoffor;
