cocoANUT BUTTER.
It Will Keep Well for a Long Time
and q a Good Antiseptic
afE Medium.

A new butter is now being made
from the milk Of this cocoanut. Thls
milk, when subjected to a tempera'
ture Of over % c., runs into yellow
oil, which is imported in great guam
titles from India ana Africa. The bet
ter qualities of It are obtained from
i eylon, Cochin-Ch and Australia.
The nut produces 60 per cent. Of OIL
and one acre Of land planted with co
coanut trees would produce over 4OO
pounds Of oil. This has hitherto been
used for fats for soap, or for machin-
cry oil, and the better qualities en-
ployed In the manufacture OF textile
goods.
In France this oil is now subjected
to special treatment and converted
into butter.
Dr.. Heuner, q German chemist, pro-
poses to buy up all the cocoanut OILS
and transform them into what ne
terms vegetable butter"
The cocoanut butter, like that made
I from cows milk, contains seven per
cent. of soluble acids. 1t will keep

any sign of acid reaction, and It con-
