Tho bu tier exhibited at many of the fairs is really a work of art and should be included in such collec tions rather than in tho butter ex hibit. The pineapple-shaped curies and that molded hy tho form ot ducks, etc., really deserve to be classed in the decorative art depart nient, for too often tho quality of tho butter.sacrificed to tho design. Butter made for eating purposes dooSN, not gain in quality by the addi;ional handling necessary for forming it into fantastic shapes. The package should be noni, dean and ntlnntivo, and tho butter well protected by be ing securely wrapped in a good gr ide of parchment paper. The han.; should bo snell :i$ to allow it to eo woll wrnppod. The quality of the paper ?s very important because poor grade is sure lo he torn and worn off hy much handling. Good butter should be especially w?ii packed. Boiler of such qual iy as lo be lit for soap grease only may bo packod any wny- it ddes not mal ter if it is exposed to dust and dies. Tho main point to take into ac count in judging butter are flavor and body. These are by far the niosi important. The flavor should lie rich, sweet, clean, fine, mildly ncld and the aroma should he pleasing, it should not taste co'wy. cheesy, milky, curdy, rancid, unclean nor highly acid. Dody and texture should ho good. If tho grain is good tho butter will break like a piece of metal-not smooth, lt should not contain too much moisture, nor should the brine ho milky, and it should be free from curd. It should be waxy and ,110t greasy in appearance. Color and salt should also bo ta ken into account. Tho color most de straille is that of June butter, lt may vary from a very light to a me dium straw color, or that produced by natural grass. It should not be streaked or mottled. The salt should be well dissolved and just enough bring ont the highest flavor. Tho following score card will bo helpful in arriving nt definite scores: Flavor. l"> Hod y. 25 Color . 1 ? Salt. 10 Package . ? Total .100 Butter scoring '...""> an 1 above should bo perfect in .'ill lilli flavor, and that should bo most desirable. For thal scoring 03 and '.1 I the total delects other th n flavor--and this must have no off or foreign flavors, not over point. Ninety-two butter can have bul ono point cut other than flavor. This must still bo good. Card of Thanks, Editor Wo thanks us in ii tiring Keowee Courier: desire to ext cpd oar many to those who came to assist the protection of uar home tho lire Sunday afternoon.
