DAIRY SALT. 5. p. Joslyn Of waitsGcld,
VI, sends to the New England Farmer the
following method of preparing dairy salt
Take the best crystal salt, wash 1t, dis.
solve. strain, settle. and turn OF; boil it
down in some perfect, clean iron vessel,
skim as boiling; when stirred or dry, it
will produce Inc salt. white as the drifting
snow, which, II stirred up IN glass vessel
Of water, will produce no sediment. aud
will be distinct from any mineral or other
possible impuriiy. Salt Is offered in the
country markets for from one and one.fourth
to one and onc.half cent, per pound, which
looks like the model Of rerl,etness. Ai'er
the above method OF uanuiaeture, 1t will
cost nearly double that amount. For two
years past we have manufactured salt in
this way for the produce OF about three tuns
Of butter each year" This mode was in
irodueed to Mr.. j as being praeileed by an
experienced Scotch daryman, and such
faith is placed in the purity Of the salt after
preparation. that Mr.. Joslyn, after his two
years experience, purposes to continue the
experiment.
