machines used in handling tho butter which is

tic dairy business upon q larger Or smaller gcalo

the butter ehall DO brought to tho Creamery
ing, and TINT it aliall be Of fair quality, Upon
arrival it is paused through the iirst maoltne,
callod q "bull which consists Of q wiro-cloth
sceen placol at the bottom OF a
lowers, operated by crank passing through tho
mcElcB OF tho wire, squeezing out some of tho
buttermiIk and cutting tho butter into strlps
resembling naacaroni, and rendering it light and
porous 80 that 1t will rendily receivo the salt and
coloring matter: It is then carefully aalted and
slightly colorcd by peculiar process, which
gives it an even, uniform appearance. A ton Of
butter can DO put through tho "buIl" in from
ten TO twenty minutes.
Working comes noxt in order. This is accom-
pliHhcd BY passing it through Dake's butter
worker, which consists Of flused roller gearod
above Oh apron OF sat9 running upon two ond-
less chains. Tho buttor is passed. through this
machine three or four times, md i9 then ready
