Preserving Butter Fre.,,.

A discovery is announced which
brings new element into the calcula-
tion of the future Of the trade in butter.
On July "a, of last year, Mr.. G. NJ.
Allender, the managing director Of the
Aylesbury Dairy comp any, put churn-
ing of butter TO the test, treating 1t in
accordance with a new patent brought
before him. The butter, in n muslin
cloth, was placed in a firkin without a
particle Of salt, and every precaution
taken to insure that there could be no
tampering with the experiment. The
frkin remained on the premises at st.
Petersburg place, Bayswater, for three
months, and when examined on Octo-
Der "a it was as sound and sweet as
when first put in. Pra cccally this butter
was exposed to the atmosphere during
the whole time, seeing that air found free
admittance into the firkin. Without
treatment the butter would have gone
completely putrid; but on smelling and
tasting it on Friday it was found per-
fectly sweet, firm and so excellent in
flavor that it was as if only made the
day before. Experts in the business,
both in this country and in Ireland,
have had samples, and pronounce, SO
says the Times, the preservation won
derful; the only difference they find be-
ing that newly-made butter (and this
first rate of its kind) has a peculiar
aroma not quite equaled in the pre-
served butter; while the latter is con-
sidered little dead" 80 that just n
trace of salt in it would he IN improve
msnt. 1t is not possible TO estimate the
gain of being able to displace from our
tables and from our cOokeries the OBJ
jectionable salt butter, the change be-
ing especially grateful to voyagers on
shipboard, and to countries such as Bra
gil, which import the whole of their
butter. One great feature of the trade
in future will be the purchase and stor-
age of butter in summer when prices are
low, for sale in winter, when prices
rule higher-with considerable effect to
ward equahsing the two seasoned prices
10 consumers. -Irish Farpser's GdzeHe.
