Sailing Butter,

Prof. Johnston, OF Connecticut. says
that ircsh-cnurned butter contains a
quantity of the milk serum (buttermilk) J
which it is one object of sailing to re
move, When salt is worked into butter.
each grain of salt gradually dissolves in
the buttermilk and withdraws it from the
butter probably shrinking the bulky,
jelly-like Gasoline, iust as salt mixed
with jelly ofsoap shrinks the soap into
a small, firm cake, and unites with the
water TO make brine. If the salt be
very fine, the result is to fill the mass of
butter with multitude OF very small
drops of brine which are difficult to
work out of the butter. On the other
hand. if the salt be very coarse the but
teimllk will gather in large drops, easy
to work out, but the salt grains will not
be entirely dissolved and will make the
butter too salty and gritty to the taste.
The proper tincncss, therefore, is that
which comes Just short of occasioning
the last named difficulty, so that by its
use We remove the buttcrmiik thorough
ly without leaving any unpleasant sur
plus of salt in the butter According to
Alexander Muller, the grains of good
dairy salt should have dimensions lying,
for the mos. part, between l.25 and 80
