is quite a gratification to find that New Jersey con 

 tends successfully with this State in the article of 

 butter. Our friend S. S. J., is correct in his opinion 

 expressed in last number, that we are furnished here 

 with the very best of butter — but we must again say, 

 that there is abundantly too much of an indifferent 

 character finds its way to our market. A great fault 

 in relation to it is, that it will not keep. It tastes 

 well for two or three days— after that, the butter-milk 

 not being thoroughly worked out, it becomes stale and 

 rancid. Next season, instead of the second premium, 

 let our Jersey friends aim at the first. — Ed.
