Orange County IIutter that Comes Direct
from the city Slaughter Houses.

from inc wy olAuEhtNE huuhtss
A company has been organized in
this city, the New York Sun tells us,
with capital Of $500, 600, for the man
ufacture of butter. II is claimed that
the butter is genuine, the means Of pro-
ducing it being alone artificial /; in other
words, the discoverer afIlrms that the
article is not merely butyrouS, but in
every respect the complete and perfect
thing, rs agreeable, nutritious, and
usable Us the best Orange county hut
ter. A gentleman of recognized ability
MS chemist is the fortunate introducer
of this new wonder. Several persons of
wealth have bought stock, andin week
or two the manufacture WILDE conduct
ed on very large scale. The temporary
offices OF the OleO. Margarine Manuiac-
turing Company, rs the corporation is
called, are at 40 Broadway and their
mandatory in Forty-hfth street. Ar
engagements have been made for secur-
ing better accommodations in Fiftieth
street, and very soon the market will be
supplied with the new product, At
present the demand for the article is so
great that it is beyond the capacity Of
the company TO supply it. The profits
are expected to be over one hundred
per cent,
As this city.made Orange county but
ter is used in many Of the most fashion,
able hotels and restaurants, both for
cooking and for the table, it may be
interesting to our readers to learn some
thing of the method in which it is made.
In the first place agents are employed
to visit the slaughter houses and to buy
up all the beef fat usually styled suet.
This suet is carried to the butter factory
and cleansed. Then it is put into ordi.
nary meat choppers and minced fine.
1t is afterward placed in a boiler with
us much water in bulk as itself. A
steam pipe is introduced among the
particles Of tho shetland they are melted.
The refuse or membrane goes to the
bottom OF the water, the oily substance
floats and is removed. This latter con-
sists OF butter matter and stoarine. A
temperature OF so degrees melts the for
mer and leaves the stearine at the bot
tom. The butter matter, or cream, is
drawn off; then about thirteen per cent.
Of fresh milk is added and the necessary
salt, and the whole is churned for ten
or fifteen minutes. The result is
Orange county butter at about one.half
the usual cost.
The stearine is sold at twelve cents n
pound to the candle maker, and the
refuse at seven cents pound to the
manufacturer Of food for cattle.
All the leading steamship lines be-
tween here and Europe are to be sup
piled this summer with the newly in
vented butter. In taste and appearance
il is precisely similar to the finest conn
try butter, made from the milk OF live
cows. Several OF the leading men in
the butter trade have purchased stock,
rs have also many Of the presidents Of
the steamship lines and the proprietors
of the leading city hotels. Prof. r.
Ogden Doremus has testified TO the sue
cess OF the new method of butter manu-.
facture, and prophesies great prosperity
for the new corporation. Prof. Paraf,
the discoverer, expects that the new
product will drive live COW butter out
Of the market altogether. The few I'm.
scientific outsiders who are acquainted
with the facts now first made public,
regard the whole thing with amazement.
It seems extremely odd to them that
the same carcass which furnishes n fresh
steak for breakfast should also supply
the Orange county butter which they
spread upon their accompanying hot
