Rogers, of the general storekeeper's department at the Brooklyn navy yard, left recently from Sherman, N. Y.. to make a pre liminary Inspection of SS.OOO pounds tt butter constituting the first consign ment on contracts for a half a million pounds which havs Just been signed by representatives of the United States navy and the firms of Swift A Co. of Chicago and James Rowland ft Co, of SO Hudson street, Manhattan. ine contract with Rowland ft Co. for J50.00C pounds, was executed at the local navy yard, where the entire 500.000 pounds will be delivered. This Is the largest contract ever given by the navy department for a vear's supply, and Is believed to be the largest butter contract ever en tered Into anywhere. It was at first Intended to awad the entire contract. Involving about $150,000. to one Arm, but upon further consideration It was decided that It would be a rood plan to secure part of the supply from the west and cart from the east. This will afford a thorough opportunity of mak ing a comparison between the two. This halt a million pounds of butter wilt be consumed by the enlisted men of Uncle Sam's navy during the fiscal year that began on the first day of July. It will be distributed through the office of the general storekeeper at the navy yard here, who will issue It to the different vessels as require J. The contract provides for the Immedi ate delivery of 25,000 pounds, the re mainder to be furnished as called for. Specifications of the Contract The specifications on this contract relative to the quality of butter that will be required furnish an excel.ent Indication of the care taken to prevnt any article of food not absolutely pure from being Issued to the sailors ot the United States. It Is to be of the brand known as "extra creamery, ana must pass a chemical test before leav ing the dairy. It is all furnished In three-pound cans prepared after a prescribed pro cess. The cans must be made of the best charcoal tin, redipped before sol dering. The milk from which the but ter Is made must all be sterilized. The butter will have to be packed at the place of manufacture. The cans will be sealed after a special process mak ing them absolutely air-tight, and will then be wrapped In paper and packed In heavy wooden cases. These will be of delivery at the New York navy yard. For such butter they will be paid at the rate of V.X cents a pound. ' But before it Is accepted, Uncle Sam will put hta own men to work to de termine whether It comes up to his specifications. At the chemical labor atory, established at the yard for just such purposes, the butter will be given three separate testa. As soon aa It ar rives at the yard, sample cans will be selected at random and the contents tested as to the quantity of salt, the amount of water and the amount of general Impurities they contain.' If the percentages are found to be In'accord with the stipulations In the contract, the butter will be accepted. It must all grade above 93 and con tain leas than IS per cent of water. Iowa farmers will furnish a good part of the amount A Sioux City cream ery Is to furnish 230.000 pounds, and one at Montlcelio will turn out 100,000 pounds. Pennsylvania dairies will fur nish the balance. Greasing Boat Bottoms With Butter. It Is only within the past year that the Jack tars have been getting such a large quantity of butter. The new ration which went Into effect last year Includes a liberal allowance, and It Is highly appreciated by the man-of-war's men. In order that none of It should be put to a wrong use the navy department has deemed It wise to Issue special orders that no butter shall be used for machinery lubricating purposes or for greasing the bottoms of boats, launches and cutters that are to take part In races. There was an Instance not long ago where every man on a warship contributed part of his dally butter ration for the purpose of greasing uo the bottom of a cutter that was to race against that of an other vessel. Wonderful things can be done with half a million pounds of butter. Two hundred and fifty tons would be suffi cient to spread enough slices of bread to hand one to each voter who will step Into an election booth thla full to cast a ballot for Roosevelt or Parker. One pound would be sufficient to spread 30 good-slsed slices, so the amount to be furnished on the contract would cover 15,000,000 slices, which may be expected to go around. It will require 188,687 cans to contain It all. Figur ing the height of each can at six Inches, there would be enough to reach 6944 feet into the air.
