principle, but of more simple construction (Steenstrup's patent), 
is manufactured by Messrs. Caroc and Leth, of Aarhuns, and by 
Messrs. S. H. Lundh and Co., of Christiania. It will " make " 
about 20 lbs. of butter daily, with very little labour on the part 
of the dairymaid, and its price is from 16s. to 30a\ The process 
of " making " consists in passing the butter under the grooved 
roller, thus expressing the buttermilk, which runs off along the 
grooves on each side of the machine.

In the Report by Mr. Rainals, dated May, 1860, it is stated 
that " the butter, or the article sold in the market by the yeomen- 
farmers under that name, is execrably bad ; it is strongly salted 
with the commonest salt, whilst in its preparation so little 
regard is paid to the proper extraction of the whey {sic\ or even 
to cleanliness, that it appears strange that such produce can find 
a sale." All this has been changed, owing to the scientific exer- 
tions of Professor Segelcke, and the practical aid of Mr. Friis, 
of Lillerup. Professor Wilson has indicated in his Report * 
the efforts and the improvements made by these gentlemen in the 
rationale of butter-making, so I will content myself by giving a 
brief sketch of an institution established at Copenhagen on the 
factory principle, by means of which the best Danish butter com- 
mands high prices in all quarters of the globe, and is sold in 
London in 1-lb. tins at Is. \0\d. per lb., in quantities of not less 
than 100 lbs. This institution is popularly known as the Scan- 
dinavian Preserved Butter Company, and trades under the style 
and title of Messrs. Busck,jun., and Company. It was established
