 BUTTER. 



The butter which I offer for premium was made in the 

 following manner. The milk is strained into tin pans, 

 and set in a cool cellar for forty-eight hours ; it is then 

 skimmed, and the cream churned once a week. When 

 churned, the butter is thoroughly worked, and salted ta 

 taste • after the salt is dissolved, it is again worked and 

 lumped.
