Rancid Butter.

The Echodu Monde Savant says: "a
farmer in the vicinity OF Brussels, having
succeeded in removing the bad smell and
taste Of some butter by mixing il with
chloride Of line, he was encouraged bv
this experiment, and he has restored 10
butter, the taste and odor of which were
insupportable, all the sweetness of fresh
butter. This operation is extremely
simple, and practicable by all. Itconsisls
simply in working the butter in suffi-
cient quantity of water, in which from 25
TO 80 drops of chloride of lime have been
added to every two pounds CT butter. AT
ter having mixed 1t ill all its parts are in
contact with the water, it may be left in
il for an hour or two, afterwards Withdraw
and worked again in clear water. The
chloride of lime having nothing injurious
in il, can with safety be augmented but
after having varied the experiment, it was
found that from 25 TO 80 drops to every
two pounds Of butter were sufficient
Another method of restoring sweet
ness and favor 10 rancid butter, said to be
very effectual BY those who have tried it,
is to put il into a churn with new milk
and work il till all the old salt and ran
cidity is removed, after which it is TO be
taken from the churn worked and sailed

the steamboat act of 30th Aug. 1852, notify

la future all iron to be used in boilers in
steam vessels must be clearly and distinctly
stamped in not less than three places on each
sheet or plate as follows, viz, at two diago-
nal corners, at distance of about four inch

of each plate or sheet, ith the name of the
manufacturer and the nrne Of The place
where manufactured, designating The latter
by the name Of the city, town, or county, and

INTERESTING TO BLAcKsMITHs. Horse
shoe nails, kicked about the world by hor-
ses innumerabIe, are not the useless frag-
ments we might naturally deem them
Military men may discuss the relative
merits of Mimic rifles and needle guns,
but we all agree that the material Of which
the barrels are made should be sound and
tough; gun-makes tell US no iron is so
well fitted for this purpose as that which
is derived from horses shoe nails and sim
llarly worn fragments. The nails are in
the first instance made of good sound
iron, and the violent conclusions which
they receive when a horse is walking
over stony road, give peculiar annea>
ling and toughening to the metal highly
beneficial to its subsequent use for gun
barrels.
