Butter
:, From the lSeso York Sun.
with capital Of e500, COO Tor the manufacture
OF butter It is claimed that the butter is gen
uine, the means Of producing it being alone ar
tldclal; in other worda, the discoverer afirms
that the article is not merely butyroua, but in
every respect the complete and perfect thing,
Is agreeable, nutritious, and usab1e as the best
Orange County buttar. A gentleman OF recoe-
nized ability a. Z chemist is the fortunate intro
ducer Of this now wonder. Several persons Of
wealth have bought stock, and in week or two
the manufacture will be conducted On q very
large seals. The temporary oficea OF the 0leo-
Margarine Manufacturing Company, as the
corporation is called, are at No. 10 Broadway aud
their manufaotory in Forty-ffth street. Ar
accommodations in Fiftieth street, and yery
soon the market will be fully supplied with the
new product At present the demand for the
article is 30 great that it is beyond the capacity
OF the company to supply it. the profits ua
expected to be over 100 per cent
As this city-made Orange County butter ia
used in many Of the most fashionable hotels and
restaurants, both for cooking and for the table,
it may be interesting to the readers OF tho Sun
to learn something OF the method in which it il
made. In the first place, agents are employedto
visit the slaughter-houses aud to buy up Ill the
beef tat usually styled auet. This suet is carted
to the itter factory and cleansed. Then it is put
into ordinary meat-choppers aud minced fine Il
is afterward placed in boiler with as much water
III bulk as itself. A steam pipe is introduced
among the particles OF suet, and they are melted.
The refuse or membrane goes to the bottom OF
the water, the oily substance floats and is re-
moved This latter consists Of butte1-mattek
and stearine- 4 temperature Of eighty degrees
melts the former and leaves the stearine at the
bottom The butter~matter, or cream, ia drawn

and the necessary salt, and the whole is churned
for ten or fifteen minutes. The result il

The stearine is sold at u cents per pound to
the candle-maEer, and the refuse at cents 4

AL the leading steamship lines between here
and Europe are to be supplied this summer With
the newly-invented butter. In taste and appear
ance it is precisely similar to the finest country
butter; made from the milk OF live cows Sew

Dore1nus has testified to the success Of
the new method Of butter manufacture, and
ton. Prot. Paran, the disco7erer, expects
that the new product will drive iye-cow butter
out Of the market altogether. The few unsciec-
tfc outsiders who are acquainted with the facts
now first made public regard the whole thing
then: that the same carcass which furnishes
fresh steak for breakfast should supply tho
Orange County butter which they spread upon
their accompanying hot rolls.
