About Sailing Butter,

Sailing butter in the churn is one of
the ~unsolved problems. Lots of peo-
pie say they do it and tell how they
do it but Others say they can not do
it that way and get enough salt into
the butter to suit customers. 1t is
generally conceded that sailing in the
churn is always very light sailing,
from one-fourth to a half ounce OF
salt to the pound OF butter even
though an ounce and a half is put in
at the start. Then again how about
the second working? Do you do it or
not and if not how do you keep the
butter from becoming notified? These
are the points that trouble those who
succeed to their own satisfaction.
Some people do succeed to their own
satisfaction but not to the satisfac-
ton oil, others. So far, for instance,
as the amount of salt that can be got
into granular butter the limit seems
to be one-half ounce, as that is all the
brine will hold that is depended upon
for carrying the salt. That amount
is not always enough.
