RENOVATED BUTTER.
4 New Enterprise OF Importance to Eaters
and sellers of Butter.
New York Sun

There is no longer need of New York
butter dealers working off their rancid but
ter ON un>u~pecting boarding house keepers
AT a ruinOuSly low price" said well known
dairyman from G">hen yesterday. ''All
they've got to do i tO pack il up and ship il
to New Hampton, Orange county. among
! the fragrant meadows and Sweet-Smrlling
creamarirS of our dairy farmers. and it will
be returned tU them in a short time a.
prime. gIlt-rdgcd article. that they can deal
out 10 their best customers a. the genuine
Orange county goods.
"lm telling you facts. New Hampton is
six miles west OF Goshen and three miles
from Mddlctown. 1t i one of the most
/ important milk stations on the Erie road.
I There used to br quite an extensive cream
I cry m"prratou there. but it vas abandoned
few years ago. and the building remained
vacant until month oT 80 ago. Then a
couple of dapprr strangers appeared in
| Hampton. They were kentucklans. They
bought the old creamery building. and vel
come news WAS reported that the business
/ was to be revived.
THE farmers rrjOjcrd that they were to
/ have near and convenient market for
their milk. The new prUprietUrS didn't
/ say much about the creamery business. but
Went 10 rigging the building Up. The CON
| trivamrr~ they put into the concern were
strange to the uld-f;l~hiunrd milk farmers.
who thought they knew what WAS what in
1 the running of creamery. France n Co.
THAT WAS the name of the new owners
/ let people talk right along. and had mas
trTly knack of saving nothing themselves.
After everything WAS in shape France X
Co. contracted with one farmer for his
milk. and showed no disposition tn take
any other dairirs. As one dairy. and a
small one at that. isn't enough to give a fla
v0r to a decent-SLed creamery. the expect
ant farmers began Ia think that things
looked queer Tor the New Hampton cream

In short time however, M M ruuS tubs
and frkim~. heavy. greasy and mAlOdurru>.
began Ia arrive in New Hampton. addressed
Ia France Il Co. These were taken to the
now suspected creamery. and in time clean
and new packages were brought from
France X Co.'S and shipped away Ia differ
ent addresses in New York and elsewhere.
| BY and 10y it dawurd upon the innocent and
conscientious farmers that France Il Co.
were evidently making uleOnargarlme.
/ Then the farmers grew indignant. They
sent word To the state dairy department that
/ the honesty of Orange county dairy products
/ was hrng made questionable by France "
| Co. Inspectors White and Sears were sent
/ la New Hampton last Saturday to look after
/ France Il Go. They unearthed the secret
of the firm. and found that France X Go.
! were doing thriving business in taking
| butter of all degrees of rancidity and i'm
/ purity and ~ubjectiug II to a patented pro-
/ cess invented and owned by the firm. by
which it was made over into a commodity
/ that was placed on the market ~ new.
/ sweet butter.
| 'Thp rancid stock is purchased in New
/ York city and in western markets, and
costs France X Co. an average OF ten cents
pound. At the remOyatns works il is
placed in large watts and surrounded by
boiling water When the butter is heated
tO the right degree all the impurities rise to
the surface OF the melted compound. They
are SKINNED of. and the remaining liquid
butter j. run from the NatS I" a big circular
Churn There milk and cream are added,
and the ingredients are churned until the
whole are thoroughly mixed and the new
milk and cream have been formed into but
ter. The fresh butter j. very small pro-
portion Of the whole, but it seems 10 be
sufficient to leayru the lump. 80 that when
il is treated with butter c"Loring and salt, it
is turned out a. an apparently prime prod
net of Orange county.
"The dairy Inspectors did not |Seem TO
regard this manufacturing OF new style but
tons IL objectionable. and ~ the matter
stands. France X Co are now simply eN-
perimrmting. they say: but their expert
mtnts have been 80 rmncnty satisfactory
that in a few weeks they viii be in shape TO
handle any quantity OF spoiled butter and
make il into product that any lunkhtad Of
grorrrSmam can sell at gilt-edge prices.

rancid stock on boarding house people. hut
send it mp to the dairy regions and have it
returned to them in shape to place on the
tables of bluatrd bundholdrr>.'
