BUTTER MAKING-Mr. D. Minthorn, of JEFF,
crson county, exhibited at last New York State
Fair at Watertown some samples of very fine
butter, made By process which he describes
as follows
The sample of butter is made by nv i'm
proved mcthed, whereby every drop of water
or buttermilk is taken out Of it by solar evap-
Grafton. In this process claim to have so
perfected butter making that butter may be
kept sweet for several years, without the ran
cid odor caused by the decomposition of water
and buttcrmilk that pervades most Of the but
ter at the present time
. The following is an outline of my improv-
Cd process Firstly in churning the cream,
enough ice should he put into it occasionally
TO make the butter come in crumbs pour of
the buttcrmilk, and wash the butter several
times in soft ice water until there ceases to be
any milky appearance. During the process of
washing, should there be solid lump of but
ter large enough to contain cell of fluid, that
lump should be crushed while in the water,
and broken into a corresponding size with the
other crumbs. Lastly, wash it in brine made
OF rock salt. saltpetre, soft water and ice skim
the crumbs out of the brine with a skinner ::
drain each skimmerfull well, and spread the
crumbs of butter on zinc plates (in cold wealth
er wooden tables will do instead In very
warm weather the zinc plates should be set on
ice water. While the crumbs are spread out
thinly, place the butter in the middle of
milk room open all the windows, and cur
rent OF air passing over it. will cvaporate all
the moisture in warm weather, if the room is
suitably ventilated.
Care should be taken not to have any 9th
CT moisture in the room, like water on the floor,
or wet dairy furniture in the room. When the
butter is perfectly dry pack it down immedi-
at3ly let there be no more working of it than
is necessary to pack it solid in a jar or tub
This will secure unbroken the crystals of but
ter and its original flavor AS near as can
ascertain, there will not exceed one ounce of
salt to ten pounds of butter by the process of
brine sailing. As "a general thing, in making
for hospitals, gouty invads and sick persons,
the sailing process should be omitted altogeth-
er. Butter made in this way, (without salt,
if sealed in cans or jars and placed in an at
moSphere or chamber of binoxde of nitrogen,
believe will keep any practical number of
years"
