Sailed Butter.


Why 1t Keeps Better Than Bafter
That Is Fresh.
Why does salt butter keep better
than fresh butter? We must first real
ize that the bacterial population of a
moderate sized pat of butter may be
reckoned by millions. that "A tiny lump
only large enough to go into thimbe
has been known to be tenanted by
nearly 4S.00o000. that. in fact, In con
suming a slice OF bread and butter you
may unconsciously be asslmilating In.
dlyidual lives exceeding In number
those of the whole of Europe. Thus
the urgency for keeping these hordes in
check and hence the efforts which are
made, first. TO set up effectual barriers
to their ingress by taking proper pre-
cautions In the production of milk and
second, In the conduct of the processes
involved In the manufacture and distri
button OF the finished article.
Included in these processes is the ad
ditlon of salt in such quantities as to
justify the butter being known as salt
butter. this addition being made Will
the object OF extending the keeping
powers of the butter or. in other words
to suppress to a large extent the activi
ties OF the butter bacteria. That sal,
does act in this manner is shown by
the fact that in butter thus treated O
very large reduction In the number OF
micro-organlsms present Is effected
There can be little doubt. therefore
that the common butter microbes dc
not by any means regard salt as their
elixir of life.
In England boracic acid Is said TO be
extensively used In butter as Il preserv-
atiye or antiseptic agent. while In the
United States a recent public health
document states that none was report
ed TO have been found In the samples
OF butter examined. This Is probably
due TO the fact that In America there
exists strong prejudice in favor of
salt butter. whereas In England the use
of salt butter Is the exception and not
the rule. Hence In America salt can
be used as preservative instead of the
boracic acid employed for that purpose
In England.
The densely populated condition of
butter above referred to is not to be
wondered at II we realize that the raw
material In the shape of milk may con-
tain from 100000 TO as many as 169.-
