A. Cannons, Publication Clerk. Now I think I have said enough to show why our butter is irregular in quality, and why some of it dererior- ates rapidly after reaching the other side. Afterbutter is packed in boxes the length of time it will keep de- pends almost wholly on the tempera- ture at which it is held. The age of butter is more properly calculated according to the temperature at which it has been stored than from the date on which it was made. But- ter which would turn out wel'l after several months storage at 10 degrees or under, might become quite stale and rancid in a few weeks at forty to fifty degrees. Butter may be held at the creamery at these high tem- peratures fora week or so without showing much deterioration. never- theless the fermentations which pro duce bad flavors. rancidity. etc have been doing their work and shortening the life of the butter. These fermen- tations may be. checked when the butter is packed in cold storage at Hontreal or on the steamers. only to sthrt up again with renewed vigor when the butter is exposed to high temperatures on the other side. WANTEDâ€"FAITHFUL PERSON TO 911.0016“? We “54 m!!- fqr . mun.- Mr. E. A. Knowlto’n. travelling inspector, who made numerous tests during: the past season ofthe temper. ature of butter at the creameries and as delivered to the refrigerator vars, reports that the lowest. temperature he found was 33 degrees on two occa- sions, one lot being from the West Shefl'ord Creamery and the other from the Compton Model Farm Creamery. The highest temperature was shitty four degrees and the aver- age of fifty lots was nearly 49 de- grees. Is it any wonder that our butter lacks uniformity ? Mr. M. B. Longway, who is refrigerator car in- 'spector at Montreal, examined 400 cars and contents. as they were open- ed in railway yards. He reports the temperature of butter as varying from 46 up to 58. and in a few casesi ias high as (it). On the whole the re- frigerator cars prevented the temper- ature from rising to any extent. In fact in testing some boxes it was found that the butter was colder at the outside than it was at the centre of the package, showing that the temperature was even being lowered. The refrigerator car service is capa- ble of being improved; but it is better now than what the creameries pro- vide for themselves. To prove that it is possible for creameries to main- tain a lower temperature. I need only quote the record made at Sherhrooke Creamery from July 20th to 28th when a thermograph placed in the refrigerator showed a temperature varying from 32 to 36 degrees. .I I Bpeaking on the above subject be fore arecent meeting of the dairy- men, Mr. J. A. Reddieh, Chief of the Dairy Division, Ottawa, gave some I advice, that will, if followed. have anexcellent efiect u'pon the quality of the butter exported from Canada. He said in partzâ€"“Very proper ques- tions for butter manufacturers to ask would be, How does our butter suit the British trade ? ' What are its de- fects, if any, and how may they be remedied? In answer to the first question I‘ would say that our very finest butter gives excellent satisfac-i tion and it is doubtful if there is any« better butter on the market: The trouble is that the quality is irregu- lar, lacks uniformity. or in other words it is unreliable. A dealer may ‘ get one lat in excellent condition and of choice quality, but the next one he buys is not up to his expectations. I so that when he is ofl’ered Canadian butter again. he is inclined to give a price tqual only to the value of the ipoor lot. In this way much of ° our l butter does n0t receive the standing: which it deserves. The butter that is of known quality and that can al- ways he depended on to come up to a certain Standard will be more in de. mand than one which may average as good, but which is frequently oil inferior grade as well as of choicest. quality. Our butter is also said to deteriorate very quickly after it is landed on the other side, and that being so dealers are not encouraged to trade in it. I want to emphasize the importance of pleasing the Bit- ish merchant as well as the constitu- er. The merchant is inclined to handle and push that particular but- ter out of which he stands the best chance of making a profit. CAUSE OF DETERIURATION. Now let us see if we can determine the cause of these defects whichcom- pel us to accept from one to two cents a pound less in price than some of our competitors receive' I believel it can be stated in a very few words, It is because the butter is not kept cold enough at theoreamertes, is ex~ posed to heat unnecessarily in ship- ping to Montreal, and is not always frozen properly when it arrives there and before being placed in the cold storage chambers of the steamers. 1 CANADIAN BUTTER.
