Th article Ulow, rttetvfd by Foard f Btoltea Co., from a well known au thority on buttr making, la of ipeclal lntTt to Clataop county farmer and dairymen, a It fhowi eonclualvely what minute care and attention muat be given to thla trade to Injur proper auceeaa: In regard to the question of packing butter In tlna on the Pacific coaat for export to Japan, China and India, I would aay that the experiment might be well worth trying. The first condition for ucceaa la that extra fine butter la or can be made on the coaat. The dairy Industry Is, I believe, growing rapidly In Oregon and Washington, and. If It Is not already possible to collect In Aitorla sufficient fine batter for a packing establishment, the probability Is that gradually there will be enough so that an Industry of this kind started on a small scale would get plenty of material for a healthy development. The situation of Astoria, with its fa cilities for shipping is favorable for such an undertaking, and another thing that would facilitate It is that tin can can probably be made cheaply, and without establishing any new can fac tory, as such factories with the best machinery are already found there In connection with salmon packing estab lishments. The industry of canning butter for export to hot climates was started In Denmark about thirty years ago by Mr. Rusk, Jr., and the great success he achieved was due mainly to his In-, defatlgable energy and close attention to the trnftlltit details. Th Scandina vian preserved Butter Co. at that time only accepted sweet cream batter mads acordlng to the rules at the company, and shipped fresh twice a week' from the farms to the packing establish ment In Copenhagen. The reason why sour cream butter was not accepted was that In sweet cream the very least fault might be readily detected, while in sour cream butter the faults might be partly covered by the acid. It was not because sweet cream butter was always better, but because when such butter was found to be absolute- ly faultless It was safe to pack. Later butter made from ripened cream baa be;n used with equal success. As soon as the butter arrived In Co penhagen the tubs or firkins were plac ed in a large room where fresh air, and in which a temperature of (0 degrees was maintained by heating or cooling day and night. After standing there a few days, until the butter cooled and had attained the temperature of the room through the whole mass. It was removed from the tubs and sampled by experts. It was then carefully and strictly classified and only absolutely faultless sweet butter was selected as No. 1 and packed In tins for export to hot climates. For this No. 1 butter . the dairyman obtained an over price. about 10 per cent over the highest mar- , ket quotations. The balance of the but ter, perhaps over one half of the en tire receipts, was classified as Nos. t and 3 and packed in tubs and sold on commission as usual. The No. 1 butter was rcsalted and worked once or twice, and It was then packed in tins from one to Ave pounds It was pressed into the tins by means of a press like a hand printing press, a stamp fitting loosely In the tin can being pressed down upon the butter, which was first put into the can by means of hand butter ladles. The but ter was pressed firmly into the can so as to prevent air holes and exclude all air. The cover was then put on and rapidly soldered on, care being taken not to melt the butter at the edges by the solder Iron. In this country butter has been put up In like manner, as for instance by Mr. Hints, of the Elgin Butter Com pany, who I believe nas furnished it to the navy and also exported It to Brazil. Butterlne has been and is probably yet put up In tins for the West India trade. I see no reason why an Industry of this kind should not succeed in As- ' toria if It Is started in the right way. It would, of course, be necessary to ' have such an establishment far from fish canneries, as the butter easily ab sorbs taint from any source, and would be' apt to get a fishy flavor. If there was any chance for the wind to carry that flavor to It. I hardly need men tion that It Is necessary to have ex perts to classify butter. If the under taking shall succeed, and If a reputa tion shall be worked up for the goods. It would no doubt be necessary to In augurate a thorough education of the creamerymen, demanding of them that they make it strictly acordlng to fixed rules and subject to the approval or correction 'of the experts or instructors of the packers. But In order to ascertain if a market can be found for the product, It would probably be prudent to start on a small scale, which can easily be done. The only essential requirement being some body who knows good butter when he sees It, and who understands thorough ly how to treat it. The mechanical and commercial part of the business your correspondents In Astoria will easily manage.
