To divest milk and butter of the taste of
turnips, cabbage, &c., upon which cows
have fed, put intceach pail Of milk, when
fresh drawn from the cows, one pint OF
boiling water. The heat of the water dis
pels The odor of the turnip, which becomes
volatile, as the temperature Of the milk is
increased. This has been practiced and
proved to be efectual, by the writer. in
cases where the cows have been fed two
or three monthsin the year upon Swedish
turnips. Marshall states that hot water is
equally effectual, when thus applied in re-
moving the taste of wild onions and leeks.
