Butter an<l cheese are among the sta|)les of New 

 nglaud, audit is obvious, that a snutll iniprove- 

 lent ui their quality will add a large sum of 

 loncy to the income of this distri<'t of country, 

 ud there is every reason to hope, that a judicious 

 icouragenicnt by premiums will, in a few years, 

 ve a character to our dairies, not surpassed by 

 ly part of the world. To accomplish this more 

 irely, it may be of use to admit, for a time, a 

 mipetition for our premiums, for butter and 

 iieese, from beyond the limits of the state, and 

 ithout any restriction as to their origin ; that, 

 practicable, we may have specimens to compare 

 th our own, even from other countries. We 

 ly thus have an opportunity of attaining to a 

 3atcr certainty the degree of excellence of 

 lich these important articles of food are sns- 

 ptible, and, by the comparison, learn the iniper- 

 tion of our own processes of manufacture — and 

 haps we may have the satisfaction to find that, 

 some extent at least, both butter and cheese 

 now inade in Massachusetts, not inferior to 

 best iii other countries.

 louragement of plantations of forest trees, live
