Sailing Butter.


1ffresh made butter be drained to some
extent and salt added in this wet con-
dition we get perfect sailing; for the
moisture in the butter will saturate the
salt and dissolve it, so that each little
globule will be encased in this salt satura-
tion, and when the butter isworked over,
the surplus moisture will be pressed out,
leaving the dissolved salt evenly dis
tuributed throughout the mass. Any
more salt than can be dissolvedin butter,
remains in the butter as salt cryst ais, and
does not and in preserving it. The film
ofdissolvcd salt about each globule seals
it, so to speak, from the air, and holds
its color fast for the time. The addition
of more salt than this is to cater to q
taste for a salt flavor acquired by habit
As soon as one becomes accustomed to
the salt solNtion sailing, about half al
ounce to the pound, he discovers that
butter flavor, and the sharper salt flavor
in butter arc not in degree, but of kind
and so prefers the former. Butter, like
buckwheat cakes, should be eaten wher
young. The practice of making buttei
and then keeping it for months for ;
"rise," is wrong. Butter never is a
perfect as it is the first week; and. if posi-
bic, the production of butter should be $,
cqualized that the consumption shoulC
keep pace with production, and do ava.
