Sailing Butter.

Butter is usually salted in accordance with
the demands of the market to which it is to be
sent. American butter is generally salted at
the rate of about one ounce to the pound.
Perhaps the greater part of the sweet-cream
butter has half or less than half that qnanti-
W. In the South of Europe, indeed in all
Latin countries, oil is in more general use
than butter, and unsated butter is preferred.
The Partisan custom of serving butter entire
ly unsalted is sometimes aped in England
and some OF our American cities. but as a
rule the markets demand that butter shall
carry more than half an ounce of salt.
Unsalted butter will keep forever-pro-
vided it is butter and only butter. But the
butter Of commerce is never pure. 1t re-
tains more or less of the other properties of
the milk. and il is these which. while they
add very much to its value. are subject to al
most immediate deterioration, and in turn
tend to injure the butter itself Even salt
will not long preserve them. Unsalted but
ter does not keep" The use of salt in but
ter is more for fiavoring than for preserva-
tive purposes. The protection and preserva-
ton of butter are due far more to the pack
age than to the salt which is put in it.
