MOISTURE In T T
Maximum of Water Content Fixed
by the Government and Adopted
by Many Municipalities.

Some time ago the government made
3 ruling or the water content allowed
in butter and put 16 per cent. as the
highest. Recently butter dealers in Chi
cago have had their attention called to
this matter by the government officials
having such matters in charge. Some
creamery butter was found in Chicago
having a water content of "a per cent,
Some ladle butter and some whey butter
also came under the ban of the law. 1t
will be well for all makers of butter for
the general market to take heed to this
ruling, as they may otherwise subject
themselves to heavy fines. If butter is
made that has too much water in 1T. it
will be far better to keep it on the farm
and consume 1t there than send it to
market. Butter that is churned at from
80 to 65 degrees probably never has a
moisture content in excess of that al
lowed by the law. 1t is far otherwise
with butter churned at say 80 degrees,
as the higher the churning point the
greater the amount of water incorpor-
ated. In the past some butter. makers
have taken advantage of this fact to
work into their butter an unusual
amount of water. Hence laws were
made establishing a maximum standard
for the moisture content.-Farmers' Re
view.
