NOTIFIED BUTTER.

Usually the blame for notified butter
is laid to improper sailing, but tests
show that salt cannot produce this re-
suit unless the butter contains an un.
even distribution of buttermilk. If the
butter is free from buttermilk, no mat.
ter how unevenly the salt is mixed, the
streaks, or notifies, will not be pro-
duced. When churning Is done SO as
to make the butter granules the size Of
rice grains and these are carefully
washed twice with water at a tempera-
ture below As degrees, removing most
of the buttermilk adhering to the outer
surface of the granules, no notifies are
obtained. The amount of proteid in
mottled butter is greater in the light
portions than in the darker portions
and is the cause Of the light color, or
notifies. Salt brine does not change
in any way the color of butter fat
Salt brine as it commonly occurs in but
ter has the power of hardening and To-
calizing the proteld particles. the ac-
ton requiring several hours for COM
pletion. In notified butter the light
portions usually contain less than the
darker portions. 1t can be concluded
then, that notifies in butter are due
primarily to the presence and uneven
distribution Of buttermilk adhering to
the outer surface of the small granules
and to the hardening and localizing eff
feet of the salt brine upon the proteid
of the buttermilk thus retained in the
butter. The light portions of notified
butter owe their light color to the pres
ence of localized proteld. The yellow
or clear portions occur where the
spaces between the butter granules are
filed with clear brine and are com
paratively free from casein compounds.
Several hours are required to complete
the action of the brine upon the pro-
telsa of the butter. Notifies in butter
can be prevented by avoiding those
conditions that retain buttermilk in the
butter and observing those conditions
which favor the removal of buttermilk
from butter granules before sailing.
The butter granules, as said above.
should be about the size of rice grains
and should be washed twice with wa
ter at temperature Of S5 to As degrees.

Ralph Jones Passed Away.

Ralph, the second son of Mr..
and Mrs. Asa Jones, died at the
family home in this city at II
O'Clock Sunday night, after an
illness of three weeks duration
from rheumatism of the heart.
DIR. Shinnick attended him in
his last illness and did every
thing in his power to restore
him to health, but in vain.
The deceased was born and
grew up in this vicinity and
would have been seventeen years
of age had he lived until the 18th
day of next February. He at
tended the public school here for
number of years, was a very
bright scholar, and by his manly
ways and upright life gained a
large number of friends who
sincerely mourn his untimely
death just as he stood upon the
threshold of manhood.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the local Baptist church, under
the direction of Bailor & Melon
aid, the local undertakers, the
funeral sermon being preached
by Rev. Pease, of the Methodist
church. Two brothers and a
sister of the deceased, his par
ents, grandparents and great
grandmother, besides many other
relatives, attended the last sad
rites and the church was unable
to hold the large crowd of friends
of the stricken family who as
sembled to do honor to the dead.
The floral offerings were profuse
and very beautiful.
After the funeral sermon was
preached the funeral cortege pro-
ceeded to the cemetery where
interment was made, the pro-
cession being one of the largest
ever seen here.
The family that has been thus
heavily visited is one of the old
est and best known families OF
Idaho county and has hosts OF
friends, with whom the CHRoN-
IcLE joins in extending sympathy
to the bereaved ones in their sad
affection.
