The visit of Mr.. Davis to the

Seasoning Butter with Brine.


Prof. L. B. Arnold, In the Farmers
Advocate, says that those who are
Tar enough along to appreciate the
difference between gathering In
lump and handling it in granules,
are In > position to adopt brine sea-
soning with ease and a decided
benefit. All that Is necessary for
such . butter-maker to do lie, when
his butter has come, to wash in the
usual way with water till it runs of
clear, and then immerse the granules
OF butter In brine as strong as it
can be made, and let the butter lie
In It the same length OF time he
would to have the salt dissolve IL he
had used dry salt, and then press
the butter into q solid form, avoid
Ing any friction or grinding motion
while reducing 1t to q solid. In
this way all work will be avoided
and the butter be left In the best
possible position for keeping, and
have an even color and the highest
flavor 1t is possible to have. BY
lying In strong brine o few hours,
the brine will draw the water out Of
the butter the same as dry salt
would. Brine makes o more even
distribution Of the saline flavor than
dry salt can do, and it will relieve
the buttcr Of any excess Of water
It may contain just as readily
a. salt In crystal can, and put
It In readiness for packing in as
little, IL not less, time. It is by
some supposed that salt strikes into
butter better II dry salt is worked
into 1t than II would II covered with
brine, but this Is . misapprehension
Of the action Of salt-neither salt
nor brine strikes into butter at all.
There Is no affinity between salt and
butter or brine and butter. In sea
soning butter with either, the salt
remains In butter only as foreign
body mechanically mixed. When
butter Is gathered In the churn Ia
granular form It Is never overchurn-
ed. Pounding 1t after 1t Is In q
lump or large masses Is what over.
churns It. In seasoning with brine
It IL never overworked, as 1t Is not
worked at all. Working out but
termilk and working In salt is where
the overworking comes In. In fact
working at all Is overworking, be.

J grain Of butter by grinding in crys.
