1t is not generally understood, and
yet it is a fact, that much of the So
called ranch butter peddled about the
city is nothing more or less than but
terine. 1t is composed OF about one
fourth butter, the remainder being
tallew and lard. Butterine can be
bought by the tub of our merchants
at twenty cents per pound, and is
sold as such only by them. Outside
parties buy this, make it into mer-
charitable rolls, and sell it readily as
fresh ranch butter at three pounds
for dollar. 10 test the article, put
a little of it in a hot spider. That pOr-
ton of it which is butter will blister
even to abrown, while tn e residue
will run as only lard and tallow do.
