enough, and 80 far as stopping fraudu-

trouble is 10 per cent while right
enough for creamery. and especially
storage butter, Is not enough for fine
dairy prints, which need more water
to quicken the flavor.
But the most serious trouble comes
to the buttermaker who cannot tell
just how to determine the exact

butter.
We are told that butter may look
dry and hard and yet contain water in
excess Of the laws standard. The poor
buttermaker is not a chemist, nor

her husband. "No benzoic acid, for

But John, the food expert, laughed

Genuine honey never has dead bees in

When currants fall to the bottom Of
cakes you may be quite sure that the
difficulty is due to not having the oven
sufficiently hot when the cake is first
put in. A great many faults are due
to want Of care in this respect. Be-
fore mixing your cake, see that the
oven is in good condition for baking.
After you put the cake in DO not open
the oven door for twenty minutes; by
that time the cake will have so far
set that the currants will not fall to
the bottom.
