TO SWEETEN RANCID BUTTER.

An agrculturst living near Brussels having sue
ceeded the removing the bad smell and disagreeable
taste of butter by beating or mixing it with
chloride of lime, he encouraged by this happy re-
suit to continue his experiments by trying them upon
butter rancid to be past use and he has restored
to butter the odor and taste of which nsuppora
bic all the sweetness of fresh butter This operation
is extremely simple and practicable for all 1t con-
ssts in beating the butter in sufficient quantity of
water into which has been mixed twenty five to thr-
tydrops of chloride of lime to two pounds of butter
After having brought all its parts in contact with the
water it may be left for hour or two; afterwards
withdrawn and washed in fresh water. The
chloride of lime used having nothing injurious in it,
can safely be increased but after having verified the
experiment, it found that twenty-five to thirty
drops to two and half pounds of butter sufi-
cin-ff.

treat greeted by the shouts of the passengers and the
delight of the Frenchman During he night the
Kentuckian left the boat The next morning before
breakfast the passengers startled by the dscord-
ant sounds of the old fiddle again. Hoosier had dis
