These little implements, very convenient in pre- paring butter for the retail trade, are sold for from 5 to 7 dollars, according to size, by the New York Dairy Supply Company. A more elaborate and expensive machine is in use by some makers of fancy or " gilt-edged â " butter, which presses a previously weighed ball or lump of butter into a sis-faced " print" of any proportions, leaving devices in relief upon five of its faces, which is a pretty sm'e preventive of imitation. Butter Packages. Butter packages are to be found in the ITnited States in great variety as to material, form, size, and purpose. Over one hundred patents have been issued for such articles, half of them subsequent to the year 1874. Wood is the favourite material, and its cheapness and lightness, rather than any other quality, render it almost the one thing used in the wholesale trade. For carrying butter in bulk, 50 lbs. or more in a body, the aim is to secure a package which shall be strong, to with- stand the dangers of breakage in transportation, easily handled, conveniently opened and closed, and in material and construction suited to preserve its contents from deteriorating in quality. The "Optiinus" butter-tub, made by James B. Gilbcrds, of Jamestown, New Y'ork, received the diploma as the best package for the wholesale trade at the International Dairy Fair at New York, 1878.
